Title: Usual and Customary Business
Records Maintained by Brewers (TTB
REC 5130/1).
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 requires brewers to keep
records, in such form and containing
such information as prescribed by
regulation and as necessary for
protection of the revenue. The TTB
regulations set forth the records that
brewers must keep regarding their
operations. TTB audits brewers’ records
to verify production of beer and cereal
beverage and to verify the quantity of
beer removed subject to tax and
removed without payment of tax. TTB
believes that these records would be
normally kept in the course of doing
business.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 1.
OMB Number: 1513–0110.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Recordkeeping for Tobacco
Products Removed in Bond from a
Manufacturer’s Premises for
Experimental Purposes—27 CFR
40.232(e).
Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code
provides that manufacturers of tobacco
products may remove tobacco products
without payment of Federal excise tax
for experimental purposes, in such
quantities and in such manner as
prescribed by regulation. The TTB
regulations set forth the standards for
such removals and the prescribed
records are used by TTB to ensure that
the products meet the standards for
experimental purposes and that the
removals are in compliance with the
IRC and TTB regulations.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 1.
OMB Number: 1513–0132.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: the
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
Average Expected Annual Number of
Activities: 10.
Number of Respondents: 10,000.
Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
Average Minutes Per Response: 60.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours:
10,000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the
Department of the Treasury (Treasury)
proposes to establish a new system of
records, ‘‘Treasury .016—Reasonable
Accommodations Records.’’
The purpose of this system of records
is to allow Treasury and its bureaus to
collect and maintain records on
applicants for employment as well as
current employees (including
contractors and interns) and members of
the public who request or receive
reasonable accommodations from the
Treasury and its Bureaus under the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the
Americans with Disabilities Act
Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA).
Reasonable accommodations are
modifications or adjustments that will
allow applicants and employees to
apply for a job, perform job duties, and/
or enjoy the benefits and privileges of
employment. Reasonable
accommodations are also made for
individuals who seek to participate and/
or participate in Treasury programs and
activities or attend meetings and events
at Treasury facilities. The system will
also be used to track processing of
requests for reasonable accommodations
only to the extent necessary to ensure
Treasury-wide compliance with
applicable laws and regulations while
preserving and maintaining the
confidentiality and privacy of all
information (e.g., medical information)
provided in support of accommodation
request.
The Rehabilitation Act and the
ADAAA require federal agencies to
provide reasonable accommodations to
qualified applicants for employment
and employees with disabilities if
known or requested, unless the
accommodation would impose an
undue hardship on the agency. The
Rehabilitation Act requires federal
agencies to provide reasonable
accommodations or modifications to
allow participation by persons with
disabilities in agency programs and
activities. Reasonable accommodations
are modifications or adjustments that
will allow applicants and employees to
apply for a job, perform job duties, and/
or enjoy the benefits and privileges of
employment. Reasonable
accommodations may include, but are
not limited to: (1) Making existing
facilities readily accessible to and
usable by individuals with disabilities;
(2) job restructuring, modification of
work schedules or place of work,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:06 Apr 25, 2014
Jkt 232001
extended leave, telecommuting, or
reassignment to a vacant position; (3)
acquisition or modification of
equipment or devices, including
computer software and hardware,
appropriate adjustments or
modifications of examinations, training
materials or policies, the provision of
qualified readers and/or interpreters,
personal assistants that enable the
individual to perform his or her job
duties and enjoy the benefits and
privileges of employment, and other
similar accommodations; and/or (4) the
manner in which a program or activity
is offered to the public.
The Rehabilitation Act and the
ADAAA authorize Treasury to
implement this reasonable
accommodation program. Routine uses
contained in this notice include sharing
information: To disclose information to
medical personnel to meet a bona fide
medical emergency; to disclose
information to another federal agency,
to a court, or a party in litigation before
a court or in an administrative
proceeding being conducted by a federal
agency when the government is a party
to the judicial or administrative
proceeding; to disclose information to a
congressional office from the record of
an individual in response to an inquiry
from the congressional office made at
the request of the individual; and to
disclose to an authorized appeal
grievance examiner, formal complaints
examiner, administrative judge, equal
employment opportunity investigator,
arbitrator, or other duly authorized
official engaged in investigation or
settlement of a grievance, complaint, or
appeal filed by an employee. The first
and fourth recognized routine uses are
consistent with the exceptions to
confidentiality under section 501 of the
Rehabilitation Act. The second routine
use involves disclosure of relevant
information as part of a proceeding in
which the government is a party, and
the third disclosure would occur only
when the individual whose information
is being disclosed has requested a
member of Congress to make an inquiry
on the individual’s behalf.
This system will be included in the
Department of the Treasury’s inventory
of record systems.
II. Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended
The Privacy Act embodies fair
information principles in a statutory
framework governing the means by
which the United States Government
collects, maintains, uses, and
disseminates individuals’ records that
are maintained in a system of records.
The Privacy Act applies to information
that is maintained in a ‘‘system of
PO 00000
Frm 00090
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
records.’’ A system of records is a group
of any records under the control of an
agency for which information is
retrieved by the name of an individual
or by some identifying number, symbol,
or other identifying particular assigned
to the individual. Individuals may
request access to their own records that
are maintained in a system of records in
the possession or under the control of
Treasury by complying with Treasury’s
Privacy Act regulations found at 31 CFR
1.26.
The Privacy Act requires each agency
to publish in the Federal Register a
description of the type and character of
each system of records that the agency
maintains, and the routine uses that are
contained in each system to make
agency recordkeeping practices
transparent, to notify individuals
regarding the uses to which their
records are put, and to assist individuals
to more easily find such files within the
agency.
In accordance with the Privacy Act,
the Department of the Treasury
proposes to establish a new system of
records titled, ‘‘Treasury .016—
Reasonable Accommodations Records.’’
The new proposed system of records is
published in its entirety below.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r),
Treasury has provided a report of this
system of records to OMB and to
Congress.
Dated: April 10, 2014.

this system of records, or seeking to
contest its content, may submit a
request in writing in accordance with
Treasury’s Privacy Act regulations
(located at 31 CFR 1.26) to the Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA) and
Transparency Liaison, whose contact
information can be found at https://
www.treasury.gov/FOIA/Pages/
index.aspx under ‘‘FOIA Requester
Service Centers and FOIA Liaison.’’ If
an individual believes more than one

concerning him or her, the individual
may submit the request to the Office of
Privacy, Transparency, and Records,
FOIA and Transparency, Department of
the Treasury, 1500 Pennsylvania Ave.
NW., Washington, DC 20220.
The request must be signed, and must

• States that the request is made
pursuant to the FOIA and/or Privacy
Act disclosure regulations;
• Includes information that will
enable the processing office to
determine the fee category of the user;
• Is addressed to the bureau that
maintains the record (in order for a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
OMB for each collection of information
they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of
information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) to include
agency requests or requirements that
members of the public submit reports,
keep records, or provide information to
a third party.
The OCC is proposing to extend OMB
approval of the following information
collection without change:
Title: Retail Foreign Exchange
Transactions.
OMB Control Number: 1557–0250.
Description: Section 742(c)(2) of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (DoddFrank Act) 1 amended the Commodity
Exchange Act (CEA) to provide that a
U.S. financial institution for which
there is a Federal regulatory agency
supervisor shall not enter into, or offer
to enter into, a transaction described in
section 2(c)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the CEA 2 with
1 Public Law 111–203, 124 Stat. 1376. (July 21,
2010) 7 U.S.C. 2(c)(2)(E).
2 A transaction would include an agreement,
contract, or transaction in foreign currency that . . .
is a contract of sale of a commodity for future
delivery (or an option on such a contract) or an
option (other than an option executed or traded on
a national securities exchange registered pursuant
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
23409
a retail customer except pursuant to a
rule or regulation of a Federal regulatory
agency allowing the transaction under
such terms and conditions as the
Federal regulatory agency shall
prescribe.3
The OCC issued a final rule at 12 CFR
part 48 allowing such transactions for
the institutions it regulates.4 The final
rule contained a number of provisions,
including a number of provisions that
would represent collections of
information under the PRA. At the time
the rule was issued, the OCC requested
and obtained approval from OMB to
collect this information through July 31,
2014. This request seeks an extension of
the collection for three years, through
July 31, 2017. A section-by-section
description of the reporting,
recordkeeping and disclosure
requirements contained in the OCC’s
rules at 12 CFR part 48 follows.
Reporting Requirements
The reporting requirements in § 48.4
require that, prior to initiating a retail
forex business, a national bank or
Federal savings association provide the
OCC with prior notice and obtain a
written supervisory no-objection letter.
In order to obtain a supervisory noobjection letter, a national bank or
Federal savings association must have
written policies, procedures, and risk
measurement and management systems
and controls in place to ensure that
retail forex transactions are conducted
in a safe and sound manner. The
national bank or Federal savings
association also must provide other
information required by the OCC, such
as documentation of customer due
diligence, new product approvals, and
haircuts applied to noncash margins.

result of the transactions and the name
of the introducing broker to the account.
The customer provides specific written

bank or Federal savings association
furnish a retail forex customer with a
written disclosure before opening an
account through which the customer

from Treasury under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans
with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008. Reasonable accommodations
are modifications or adjustments that will allow applicants and
employees to apply for a job, perform job duties, and/or enjoy the
benefits and privileges of employment. Reasonable accommodations are
also made for individuals who seek to participate or participate in
Treasury programs and activities or attend meetings and events at
Treasury facilities. This system will be included in the Treasury's
inventory of record systems.
DATES: Submit comments on or before May 28, 2014. This new system will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C.
552a, the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) proposes to establish a
new system of records, ``Treasury .016--Reasonable Accommodations
Records.''
The purpose of this system of records is to allow Treasury and its
bureaus to collect and maintain records on applicants for employment as
well as current employees (including contractors and interns) and
members of the public who request or receive reasonable accommodations
from the Treasury and its Bureaus under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA).
Reasonable accommodations are modifications or adjustments that will
allow applicants and employees to apply for a job, perform job duties,
and/or enjoy the benefits and privileges of employment. Reasonable
accommodations are also made for individuals who seek to participate
and/or participate in Treasury programs and activities or attend
meetings and events at Treasury facilities. The system will also be
used to track processing of requests for reasonable accommodations only
to the extent necessary to ensure Treasury-wide compliance with
applicable laws and regulations while preserving and maintaining the
confidentiality and privacy of all information (e.g., medical
information) provided in support of accommodation request.
The Rehabilitation Act and the ADAAA require federal agencies to
provide reasonable accommodations to qualified applicants for
employment and employees with disabilities if known or requested,
unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the agency.
The Rehabilitation Act requires federal agencies to provide reasonable
accommodations or modifications to allow participation by persons with
disabilities in agency programs and activities. Reasonable
accommodations are modifications or adjustments that will allow
applicants and employees to apply for a job, perform job duties, and/or
enjoy the benefits and privileges of employment. Reasonable
accommodations may include, but are not limited to: (1) Making existing
facilities readily accessible to and usable by individuals with
disabilities; (2) job restructuring, modification of work schedules or
place of work, extended leave, telecommuting, or reassignment to a
vacant position; (3) acquisition or modification of equipment or
devices, including computer software and hardware, appropriate
adjustments or modifications of examinations, training materials or
policies, the provision of qualified readers and/or interpreters,
personal assistants that enable the individual to perform his or her
job duties and enjoy the benefits and privileges of employment, and
other similar accommodations; and/or (4) the manner in which a program
or activity is offered to the public.
The Rehabilitation Act and the ADAAA authorize Treasury to
implement this reasonable accommodation program. Routine uses contained
in this notice include sharing information: To disclose information to
medical personnel to meet a bona fide medical emergency; to disclose
information to another federal agency, to a court, or a party in
litigation before a court or in an administrative proceeding being
conducted by a federal agency when the government is a party to the
judicial or administrative proceeding; to disclose information to a
congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an
inquiry from the congressional office made at the request of the
individual; and to disclose to an authorized appeal grievance examiner,
formal complaints examiner, administrative judge, equal employment
opportunity investigator, arbitrator, or other duly authorized official
engaged in investigation or settlement of a grievance, complaint, or
appeal filed by an employee. The first and fourth recognized routine
uses are consistent with the exceptions to confidentiality under
section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act. The second routine use involves
disclosure of relevant information as part of a proceeding in which the
government is a party, and the third disclosure would occur only when
the individual whose information is being disclosed has requested a
member of Congress to make an inquiry on the individual's behalf.
This system will be included in the Department of the Treasury's
inventory of record systems.
II. Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended
The Privacy Act embodies fair information principles in a statutory
framework governing the means by which the United States Government
collects, maintains, uses, and disseminates individuals' records that
are maintained in a system of records. The Privacy Act applies to
information that is maintained in a ``system of records.'' A system of
records is a group of any records under the control of an agency for
which information is retrieved by the name of an individual or by some
identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to
the individual. Individuals may request access to their own records
that are maintained in a system of records in the possession or under
the control of Treasury by complying with Treasury's Privacy Act
regulations found at 31 CFR 1.26.
The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish in the Federal
Register a description of the type and character of each system of
records that the agency maintains, and the routine uses that are
contained in each system to make agency recordkeeping practices
transparent, to notify individuals regarding the uses to which their
records are put, and to assist individuals to more easily find such
files within the agency.
In accordance with the Privacy Act, the Department of the Treasury
proposes to establish a new system of records titled, ``Treasury .016--
Reasonable Accommodations Records.'' The new proposed system of records
is published in its entirety below.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), Treasury has provided a report
of this system of records to OMB and to Congress.
Dated: April 10, 2014.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Privacy, Transparency, and Records.
