No. C–3998, Order Reopening and Setting Aside Order (July 1, 2005) (order set aside for respondent that had sold the business covered by the order); Union Carbide Corp., 108 F.T.C. 184 (1986) (order set aside for respondent that had exited business covered by the order). DTE’s Spin-off of DT Midstream constitutes a changed condition of fact that justifies the Commission to modify the Order to relieve DTE of its obligations under the Order, because the Spin-off leaves DTE with no direct or indirect interest in any natural gas pipeline, storage, or gathering assets or business in the Relevant Area, which was not the case at the time the Commission issued the Order. This change eliminates the basis for the Commission’s concern with respect to DTE’s presence in natural gas pipeline transportation in the Relevant Area. In particular, the Order provision requiring prior notice of any DTE acquisition of an interest in a natural gas transportation pipeline in the Relevant Area is no longer necessary. DTE no longer has an ownership interest in either NEXUS or DT Midstream. As a result, DTE no longer competes to provide natural gas transportation in the Relevant Area. If DTE were to enter that market, such entry by DTE would introduce new competition. Rather than create a need for coverage under the Order, such entry would be procompetitive. In contrast, DT Midstream, which does compete to provide natural gas transportation in the Relevant Area, will continue to be subject to the Order, including this prior notice provision. Similarly, the Order provision requiring DTE to obtain prior Commission approval before entering agreements concerning natural gas pipeline transportation in the Relevant Area is no longer necessary. The purpose of that provision is to provide the Commission with an opportunity to review any potentially anticompetitive agreements ‘‘between one or more Respondents and a Pipeline Competitor to provide natural gas transportation in the Relevant Area.’’ Order II.B. As a result of the Spin-off, DTE no longer provides natural gas transportation in the Relevant Area. Because DTE is no longer in a horizontal competitive relationship with any Pipeline Competitor in the Relevant Area, there is no longer a need for the Commission to review any agreement DTE may seek to enter with such a firm. In contrast, DT Midstream, which does provide natural gas transportation in the VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:38 Oct 05, 2021 Jkt 256001 Relevant Area, will continue to be subject to the Order, including this prior approval provision. Consistent with longstanding FTC precedent, changed conditions of fact warrant the removal of DTE from the Order. B. Public Interest Because changed circumstances warrant reopening and modification here, the Commission need not consider whether removing DTE from the Order would serve the public interest. See, e.g., Duke Energy Corp., Order Reopening and Modifying Order, at 3 (‘‘In this instance, however, we do not need to assess the sufficiency of Petitioners’ public interest showing because Petitioners have made the requisite satisfactory showing that changed conditions of fact require the Order to be reopened and set aside as to Duke Energy.’’); Entergy Corp., Order Reopening and Setting Aside Order, at 3 (same). However, should the Commission deem it necessary to assess the public interest in setting aside the Order as to DTE, such modification would serve the public interest. DTE meets the public interest requirement of Section 2.51(b) because, among other reasons, ‘‘the order in whole or part is no longer needed.’’ Requests to Reopen, 65 FR 50,636, 50,637 (Aug. 21, 2000) (amending 16 CFR 2.51(b)). As a result of the Spin-off, DTE no longer has any natural gas pipeline transportation assets or business in the Relevant Area. Requiring DTE’s continued compliance with the Order’s prior approval, notice, and reporting provisions therefore contributes nothing to the Commission’s interest in protecting competition and is not needed to protect the public interest. Further, setting aside the Order as to DTE would eliminate unnecessary costs and burdens to DTE and the Commission during the remainder of the term of the Order—another eight years (through November 21, 2029). At the same time, because DT Midstream has certified to the Commission that it has succeeded to DTE’s obligations under the Order and will comply with it, removing DTE from the Order would be the ‘‘more effective or efficient way of achieving the purposes of the Order.’’ Id. Therefore, the public interest requires the setting aside of the Order as to DTE. III. Conclusion For these reasons, Respondent DTE respectfully requests that the Commission reopen and vacate the Order as it applies to DTE, or to PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 otherwise modify the Order to relieve DTE of any continuing obligations thereunder. Such a modification is justified by changed conditions of fact, and is consistent with the public interest and the underlying purposes of the Order. The attached Declaration and other accompanying exhibits set forth and support the specific facts described herein and demonstrate why the requested modification of the Order is appropriate.

The childcare providers are required to complete the criminal history background checks mandated in the Crime Control Act of 1990, Public Law 101–647, dated November 29, 1990, as amended by Public Law 102–190, dated December 5, 1991. These statutes require that each employee of a childcare center located in a Federal building or in leased space must undergo a background check. According to GSA policy, childcare workers (as described above) will need to submit the following: 1. An original signed copy of a Basic National Agency Check Criminal History, GSA Form 176; and 2. Two sets of fingerprints on FBI Fingerprint Cards, for SF–87 and/or electronic prints from an enrollment center. 3. Electronically submit the e-qip (SF85) application for completion of the Tier 1C.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 55615]]

A. Purpose

    Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12 ``Policy for a 
Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors'' 
requires the implementation of a governmentwide standard for secure and 
reliable forms of identification for Federal employees and contractors. 
OMB's implementing instructions requires all contract employees 
requiring routine access to federally controlled facilities for greater 
than six (6) months to receive a background investigation. The minimum 
background investigation is Tier 1 and the Office of Personnel 
Management offers a Tier 1C for child care.
    However, there is no requirement in the law or HSPD-12 that 
requires childcare employees to be subject to the Tier 1C since 
employees of childcare providers are neither government employees nor 
government contractors. The childcare providers are required to 
complete the criminal history background checks mandated in the Crime 
Control Act of 1990, Public Law 101-647, dated November 29, 1990, as 
amended by Public Law 102-190, dated December 5, 1991. These statutes 
require that each employee of a childcare center located in a Federal 
building or in leased space must undergo a background check.
    According to GSA policy, childcare workers (as described above) 
will need to submit the following:
    1. An original signed copy of a Basic National Agency Check 
Criminal History, GSA Form 176; and
    2. Two sets of fingerprints on FBI Fingerprint Cards, for SF-87 
and/or electronic prints from an enrollment center.
    3. Electronically submit the e-qip (SF85) application for 
completion of the Tier 1C.
    This is not a request to collect new information; this is a request 
to change the form that is currently being used to collect this 
information.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 1,200.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Hours per Response: 1.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,200.

C. Public Comments

    A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register at 86 FR 40843 on 
July 29, 2021. No comments were received.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat 
Division, by calling 202-501-4755 or emailing [email protected]. Please
