industry regulated by multiple agencies?
If so, how?
5. What are the biggest challenges to
successful implementation of
performance-based regulations in the
U.S. oil and gas industry?
6. How can risk assessment best be
used in performance-based regulations
while still ensuring adequate levels of
safety? If risk assessments are used in a
performance-based regulation, should
acceptable risk levels be established?
7. How have authorities that currently
use performance-based regulatory
models ensured effective oversight (e.g.,
use of metrics, audit programs)?
8. Are there limits to the use of
performance-based regulatory models?
For example, do performance-based
regulatory models increase or decrease
challenges for small businesses in
comparison to prescriptive models? Are
prescriptive components needed/
desirable, and if so, under what
situations?
III. Meeting Format
The meeting will include opening
remarks, presentations by the agencies
and expert speakers, time for public
comments, and closing remarks. The
agencies will discuss their areas of
jurisdiction, regulations and standards,
and efforts in the oil and gas industry.
Expert speakers will discuss the topics
for consideration and issues related to
performance-based regulations. In the
time designated for public comments,
meeting attendees will have an
opportunity to make comments that
provide the agencies with additional
information that may assist them with
their future performance-based
regulatory efforts.

OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

Revision of Information Collection:
Combined Federal Campaign;
Applications
U.S. Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104–13, May 22, 1995), this notice
announces that the Office of Personnel
Management intends to submit to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for clearance to revise
an information collection. Combined
Federal Campaign Applications, OMB
Control No. 3206–0131, which include
OPM Forms 1647 A–E, are used to
review the eligibility of national,
international, and local charitable
organizations that wish to participate in
the Combined Federal Campaign. The
proposed revisions reflect changes in
eligibility guidance from the Office of
Personnel Management. On May 15,
2012, we published a 60-day notice and
request for comments. We received no
comments.
We estimate 20,000 responses to this
information collection annually. Each
form takes approximately three hours to
complete. The annual estimated burden
is 60,000 hours.
Comments are particularly invited on:
Whether this information is necessary
for the proper performance of functions
of the Office of Personnel Management,
and whether it will have practical
utility; whether our estimate of the
public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on
valid assumptions and methodology;
and ways in which we can minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, through
the appropriate use of technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
