January 11, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) publishes notice at least once monthly of certain Federal agency requests for records disposition authority (records schedules). Once approved by NARA, records schedules provide mandatory instructions on what happens to records when no longer needed for current Government business. They authorize the preservation of records of continuing value in the National Archives of the United States and the destruction, after a specified period, of records lacking administrative, legal, research, or other value. Notice is published for records schedules in which agencies propose to destroy records not previously authorized for disposal or reduce the retention period of records already authorized for disposal. NARA invites public comments on such records schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).

The proposed information collection requirement described below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Department is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal. HUD's Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS) regulation (24 CFR part 5, subpart G) provides that HUD housing must be decent, safe, sanitary, and in good repair. Public housing agencies (PHAs) must maintain housing in a manner that meets prescribed physical condition standards to be considered decent, safe, sanitary, and in good repair. The UPCS regulation also provides that all area and components of the housing must be free of health and safety hazards. HUD conducts physical inspections of the HUD-funded housing to determine if the UPCS standards are being met. Pursuant to the UPCS inspection protocol, at the end of the inspection (or at the end of each day of a multi-day inspection) the inspector provides the property representative with a copy of the ``Notification of Exigent and Fire Safety Hazards Observed'' form. Each exigent health and safety (EHS) deficiency that the inspector observed that day is listed on the form. The property representative signs the form acknowledging receipt. PHAs are to correct EHS deficiencies (i.e., emergency work orders) within 24 hours. PHAs are to notify HUD, using the electronic format, within three business days of the date of inspection, which is the date the PHA was provided notice of these deficiencies, that the deficiencies were corrected within the prescribed time frames.

NMFS is adjusting the 2011 total allowable catch (TAC) amount for the Bering Sea and Aleutian Island management area (BSAI) Atka mackerel fishery. This action is necessary because NMFS has determined this TAC is incorrectly specified. This action will ensure the BSAI Atka mackerel TAC is the appropriate amount, based on the best available scientific information for Atka mackerel in the BSAI. This action is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area.

Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Institutes of Health has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve the information collection listed below. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register in Vol. 75 No. 144, pages 44265-44266, on July 28, 2010 and allowed 60 days for public comment. One public comment was received on the instruments outlined in the 60- day notice. A response to this request was sent to the interested party. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. 5 CFR 1320.5 (General requirements) Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements: Final Rule requires that the agency inform the potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information that such persons are not required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Proposed Collection: Title: Online Skills Training for PCPs on Substance Abuse. Type of Information Collection Request: New. Need and Use of Information Collection: This research will evaluate the effectiveness of the Online Skills Training for PCPs on Substance Abuse, via the Web site SBIRTTraining.com, to positively impact the knowledge, attitudes, intended behaviors and clinical skills of primary care physicians in the U.S. who treat substance abuse patients. The Online Skills Training for PCPs on Substance Abuse is a new program developed with funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The primary goal is to assess the impact of the training program on knowledge, attitude, intended behavior, and clinical skills. A secondary goal is to assess learner satisfaction with the program. If the program is a success, there will be a new, proven resource available to primary care physicians to improve their ability to assess and treat substance use disorders. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the program, information will be collected from primary care physicians before exposure to the Web based materials (pre-test), after exposure to the Web based materials (post-test), and 4-6 weeks after the program has been completed (follow-up). Frequency of Response: On occasion. Affected Public: Primary care physicians who treat patients who have substance abuse. Type of Respondents: Physicians. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 80. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 3. Average Burden Hours per Response: 0.75. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 180. The annualized cost to respondents is estimated at: $13,500. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to report.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is adopting revisions to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System (EDGAR) Filer Manual to reflect updates to the EDGAR system. The revisions are being made primarily to implement the new EDGARLink Online Application which will allow filers to submit EDGARLink submission form types online without the use of the offline EDGARLink Tool, to support the electronic filing of submission form types ABS 15G, ABS 15G/A, a new Form 8-K Item 6.10, and to support minor changes in XBRL validations for filings containing Exhibit 101 attachments. The EDGAR system is scheduled to be upgraded to support this functionality on December 13, 2010. The filer manual is also being revised to address changes previously made in EDGAR to support the electronic filing of new submission form types SC 14N, SC 14N/A, SC 14N-S, SC 14N-S/A, and the new Form 8-K Item 5.08. The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volume I entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: ``General Information,'' Version 9 (December 2010) and Volume II entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: ``EDGAR Filing,'' Version 16 (December 2010). The updated manual will be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations.

Notice is hereby given of the intention of NRCS to issue a series of revised conservation practice standards in the National Handbook of Conservation Practices. These standards include: Aquatic Organism Passage (Code 396), Bivalve Aquaculture Waste Control (Code 400), Cross Wind Trap Strips (Code 589c), Irrigation Field Ditch (Code 388), Nutrient Management (Code 590), and Waste Facility Closure (Code 360). NRCS State Conservationists who choose to adopt these practices for use within their States will incorporate them into section IV of their respective electronic Field Office Technical Guide. These practices may be used in conservation systems that treat highly erodible land (HEL) or on land determined to be a wetland. Section 343 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 requires NRCS to make available for public review and comment all proposed revisions to conservation practice standards used to carry out HEL and wetland provisions of the law.
