The applicant or notificant also is required to publish a notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the community where the head office of the bank to be acquired is located. The notice must state the name and address of the applicant and its proposed subsidiary, and it must invite the public to submit written comments to the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank. Legal authorization and confidentiality: The FR Y–3 application and FR Y–3N notification are mandatory and submitted pursuant to section 3(a) of the BHC Act, which requires Board approval for formations, acquisitions, and mergers of bank holding companies (12 U.S.C. 1842(a)), and section 5(b) of the BHC Act, which authorizes the Board to issue regulations and orders to carry out these functions (12 U.S.C. 1844(b)). The FR Y–4 notification is mandatory and submitted pursuant to section 4(j) of the BHC Act, which requires BHCs to give advance written notice to the Board of any nonbanking activities (12 U.S.C. 1843(j)), and section 5(b) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. 1844(b)), described above.

The Board proposes to revise the FR Y–3, FR Y–3N, and FR Y–4 forms and instructions in order to improve the clarity of the requests; reflect the impact of new laws, regulations, capital requirements and accounting rules; delete items that are not typically useful for the analysis of the proposal; and add transparency for filers regarding the information that is required to consider VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:06 Jul 19, 2018 Jkt 244001 a proposal. The revisions are intended to make initial filings better reflect and include the information that Board staff requires to evaluate a transaction and thereby reduce the need for subsequent information requests, which may delay the Board’s consideration of a filing and create additional burden for filers. The comment period for this notice expired on May 22, 2018. The Board did not receive any comments. Accordingly, the revisions will be implemented as proposed. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, July 17, 2018. Michele Taylor Fennell, Assistant Secretary of the Board.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: CDC is dedicated to protecting health and promoting quality of life through the prevention and control of disease, injury, and disability. NIOSH, one of CDC’s Centers, Institutes, and Offices, was established by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. NIOSH plans, directs, and coordinates a national program to develop and establish recommended occupational safety and health standards; conduct research and training; provide technical assistance; and perform related activities to assure safe and healthful working conditions for every working person in the United States. Currently, three NIOSH research facilities—the Robert A. Taft Campus, Taft North Campus, and the Alice Hamilton Laboratory Campus—are located in Cincinnati, Ohio. These facilities no longer meet the research needs required to support occupational safety and health in the modern workplace. The facilities’ deficiencies adversely affect NIOSH’s ability to conduct occupational safety and health research in Cincinnati. It is not possible to renovate the facilities located on the three campuses to meet current standards and requirements. Additionally, the current distribution of NIOSH activities across separate campuses in Cincinnati results in inefficiencies in scientific collaboration and the duplication of operational support activities.

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L. 112-239, 
enacted January 2, 2013) strengthen the long standing zero-tolerance 
policy of the United States regarding Government employees and 
contractor personnel engaging in any form of trafficking in persons.
    Contractors are required to inform the contracting officer and the 
agency Inspector General of any credible information it receives from 
any source that alleges a contractor employee, subcontractor, or 
subcontractor employee, or their agent has engaged in conduct that 
violates the policy in paragraph (b) of the clause 52.222-50. This 
requirement flows down to all subcontractors.
    Additional protections are required where the estimated value of 
the supplies (other than commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) 
items) to be acquired outside the United States or

plan, a housing plan, and procedures to prevent subcontractors from 
engaging in trafficking in persons; and (b) The contractor is required 
to submit a certification to the contracting officer prior to receiving 
an award, and annually thereafter, asserting that it has the required 
compliance plan in place and that there have been no abuses, or that 
appropriate actions have been taken if abuses have been found. The 
compliance plan must be provided to the contracting officer upon 
request, and relevant portions of it must be posted at the workplace
