Regulatory Notices and Analyses The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Environmental Review This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\15NOP1.SGM 15NOP1 62965 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 217 / Monday, November 15, 2021 / Proposed Rules I. Background On September 21, 2020, at 85 FR 59234, HUD published a proposed rule titled ‘‘Streamlining and Implementation of Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act Changes to Family SelfSufficiency (FSS) Program.’’ The 2020 proposed rule would revise the FSS Program regulations to implement statutory requirements, and to reduce burden and streamline the program for PHAs, Multifamily owners, and eligible families. The public comment period closed on November 20, 2020, and HUD received 105 public comments in response to the 2020 proposed rule. HUD has since determined that changes to the information collection requirements described in the 2020 proposed rule would be necessary for implementation of the rule, or would help the program operate more efficiently. Specifically, HUD notes that all entities that currently operate FSS programs would have to update their Action Plans one time after the new rule becomes effective in order to incorporate regulatory changes, and that PHAs would be required to complete a monitoring self-review checklist for program compliance and reporting once every five years. Additionally, while the 2020 proposed rule noted that the information collection requirements would include paperwork for Multifamily owners, it did not explicitly account for Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) FSS Program Reporting in the description of the information collection. Additionally, HUD is revising recordkeeping and recording burden estimates for other collection information instruments that were discussed in the 2020 proposed rule. First, HUD anticipates that more funding may be appropriated for the FSS program than HUD anticipated when the 2020 proposed rule was published. Specifically, HUD anticipates that funding will be adequate to support 800 grantees. As a result, HUD is increasing from 750 to 800 the estimate of responses to the SF– 424 (‘‘Application for Federal Assistance’’). HUD is adjusting to 800 the estimate of responses to the Grant Agreement and the Annual Report/ Performance Report. Of these 800 grantees, HUD estimates that approximately 100 will be new grantees. As such, HUD revises the estimate for responses for the NOFA narrative and for Form HUD–52651 (‘‘Family SelfSufficiency (FSS) Program Coordinator Funding’’) to 100. Similarly, HUD estimates that 100 new grantees will submit new Action Plans and estimates that the development of new plans will take 10 hours each. Estimating that about half of these 100 new grantees will be PHAs and the other half will be Multifamily owners, and therefore 750 grantees will be PHAs, HUD estimates that there will be 750 annual respondents for Form HUD–50058 (‘‘Family Report’’) and Form HUD– 52652 (‘‘Sample FSS Escrow Account Credit Worksheet’’). As a result of expected additional FSS funding, HUD has also adjusted the expected number of responses for Cooperative Agreements up to 25 from 15, and the number of responses for Form HUD– 52650 (‘‘Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program Contract of Participation’’) up to 1,500 from 1,000. Additionally, HUD is removing the burden estimate that appeared in the proposed rule for Form HUD–2994–A (‘‘You are Our Client! Grant Applicant Survey’’) (optional), because the form is not in use and is revising the estimated number of responses for Form HUD–52755 (‘‘Sample Contract Administrative Partnership Agreement’’) down to 5 Number of responses khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS Description of information collection SF–424—Application for Federal Assistance ......................

Finally, HUD is revising the burden hour estimate for this collection for the SF–424 and SF–LLL forms to 0, because their burden is included in different collections. This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking re-opens the public comment period on the Streamlining and Implementation of Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act Changes to Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program proposed rule for an additional 30 days solely to seek comments on revisions to the Paperwork Reduction Act information collection requirements from the 2020 proposed rule. HUD is not soliciting comment on any other issues related to the 2020 proposed rule. II. Paperwork Reduction Act In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3520), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection displays a valid control number. The information collection requirements contained in this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The 2020 proposed rule noted that it would require changes to the existing approved paperwork to include PBRA, the addition of a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) (now called a ‘‘Notice of Funding Opportunity’’ or ‘‘NOFO’’) narrative, and the Cooperative Agreement. After further review, HUD has determined that the revised overall reporting and recordkeeping burden are estimated as follows: Total annual responses Hours per response Total hours 800 40 1 1 800 40 0 0 0 0 800 100 25 1 1 1 800 100 25 0 10 2 0 1,000 50 5 100 100 1 1 1 5 100 100 0.17 1.5 10 .85 150 1,000 700 1,500 1 1 700 1,500 5 .25 3,500 375 750 100 75,000 .85 63,750 800 800 1 1 700 800 N/A 1 N/A 800 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\15NOP1.SGM 15NOP1 62966 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 217 / Monday, November 15, 2021 / Proposed Rules Number of responses Description of information collection Responses per year Total annual responses Hours per response Total hours Form HUD–50058—Family Report (OMB No. 2577–0083) Monitoring Review Self-Assessment Checklist ...................

III. Questions for Public Comment In accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), HUD is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected agencies concerning the information collection requirements in this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking regarding: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (3) Whether the proposed collection of information enhances the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Whether the proposed information collection minimizes the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond; including through the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The National Apprenticeship Act of 1937 (NAA), 29 U.S.C. 50, authorizes the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to: (1) Formulate and promote the use of labor standards necessary to safeguard the welfare of apprentices and to encourage their inclusion in apprenticeship contracts; (2) bring together employers and labor for the formulation of programs of apprenticeship; and (3) cooperate with State agencies engaged in the formulation and promotion of standards of apprenticeship. 29 U.S.C. 50. The Department promulgated regulations to implement the NAA at 29 CFR part 30 (equal employment opportunity in apprenticeship) in 1963 and part 29 (labor standards for the registration of apprenticeship programs) in 1977. The part 30 regulations prohibit discrimination in registered apprenticeship based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age (40 or older), genetic information, and disability, and they require sponsors of registered apprenticeship programs (RAPs) to take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in such programs. The part 29 regulations set forth labor standards safeguarding the welfare of apprentices, including: Prescribing policies and procedures concerning the registration, cancellation, and deregistration of apprenticeship programs; recognizing State Apprenticeship Agencies (SAAs) as Registration Agencies; and matters relating thereto. The Department significantly updated 29 CFR part 29 in 2008 to ‘‘increase flexibility, enhance program quality and accountability, and promote apprenticeship opportunity in the 21st century, while continuing to safeguard the welfare of apprentices’’ (73 FR 64402, Oct. 29, 2008), and updated 29 CFR part 30 in 2016 ‘‘to E:\FR\FM\15NOP1.SGM 15NOP1

(FSS) Program; Re-Opening Public Comment Period on the Information 
Collection Requirements

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing, HUD, and Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner, HUD.

ACTION: Proposed rule; re-opening of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On September 21, 2020, HUD published a proposed rule on 
streamlining and implementing the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, 
and Consumer Protection Act (``the Economic Growth Act''), which would 
make changes to HUD's Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program. After the 
publication of that proposed rule, HUD determined that changes to the 
information collection requirements described in it would be necessary. 
This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking therefore re-opens the 
public comment period on the Streamlining and Implementation of 
Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act Changes 
to Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program proposed rule (``the 2020 
proposed rule'') for an additional 30 days solely to seek comments on 
revisions to the Paperwork Reduction Act information collection 
requirements from the 2020 proposed rule. HUD is not soliciting comment 
on any other issues related to the 2020 proposed rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 62965]]

I. Background

    On September 21, 2020, at 85 FR 59234, HUD published a proposed 
rule titled ``Streamlining and Implementation of Economic Growth, 
Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act Changes to Family Self-
Sufficiency (FSS) Program.'' The 2020 proposed rule would revise the 
FSS Program regulations to implement statutory requirements, and to 
reduce burden and streamline the program for PHAs, Multifamily owners, 
and eligible families. The public comment period closed on November 20, 
2020, and HUD received 105 public comments in response to the 2020 
proposed rule.
    HUD has since determined that changes to the information collection 
requirements described in the 2020 proposed rule would be necessary for 
implementation of the rule, or would help the program operate more 
efficiently. Specifically, HUD notes that all entities that currently 
operate FSS programs would have to update their Action Plans one time 
after the new rule becomes effective in order to incorporate regulatory 
changes, and that PHAs would be required to complete a monitoring self-
review checklist for program compliance and reporting once every five 
years. Additionally, while the 2020 proposed rule noted that the 
information collection requirements would include paperwork for 
Multifamily owners, it did not explicitly account for Project-Based 
Rental Assistance (PBRA) FSS Program Reporting in the description of 
the information collection.
    Additionally, HUD is revising recordkeeping and recording burden 
estimates for other collection information instruments that were 
discussed in the 2020 proposed rule. First, HUD anticipates that more 
funding may be appropriated for the FSS program than HUD anticipated 
when the 2020 proposed rule was published. Specifically, HUD 
anticipates that funding will be adequate to support 800 grantees. As a 
result, HUD is increasing from 750 to 800 the estimate of responses to 
the SF-424 (``Application for Federal Assistance''). HUD is adjusting 
to 800 the estimate of responses to the Grant Agreement and the Annual 
Report/Performance Report. Of these 800 grantees, HUD estimates that 
approximately 100 will be new grantees. As such, HUD revises the 
estimate for responses for the NOFA narrative and for Form HUD-52651 
(``Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program Coordinator Funding'') to 100. 
Similarly, HUD estimates that 100 new grantees will submit new Action 
Plans and estimates that the development of new plans will take 10 
hours each. Estimating that about half of these 100 new grantees will 
be PHAs and the other half will be Multifamily owners, and therefore 
750 grantees will be PHAs, HUD estimates that there will be 750 annual 
respondents for Form HUD-50058 (``Family Report'') and Form HUD-52652 
(``Sample FSS Escrow Account Credit Worksheet''). As a result of 
expected additional FSS funding, HUD has also adjusted the expected 
number of responses for Cooperative Agreements up to 25 from 15, and 
the number of responses for Form HUD-52650 (``Family Self-Sufficiency 
(FSS) Program Contract of Participation'') up to 1,500 from 1,000. 
Additionally, HUD is removing the burden estimate that appeared in the 
proposed rule for Form HUD-2994-A (``You are Our Client! Grant 
Applicant Survey'') (optional), because the form is not in use and is 
revising the estimated number of responses for Form HUD-52755 (``Sample 
Contract Administrative Partnership Agreement'') down to 5 from 20, 
because this form is used only in rare occasions as a corrective 
action. Finally, HUD is revising the burden hour estimate for this 
collection for the SF-424 and SF-LLL forms to 0, because their burden 
is included in different collections.
    This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking re-opens the public 
comment period on the Streamlining and Implementation of Economic 
Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act Changes to 
Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program proposed rule for an additional 
30 days solely to seek comments on revisions to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act information collection requirements from the 2020 proposed rule. 
HUD is not soliciting comment on any other issues related to the 2020 
proposed rule.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to, a collection of information unless the 
collection displays a valid control number. The information collection 
requirements contained in this supplemental notice of proposed 
rulemaking will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
    The 2020 proposed rule noted that it would require changes to the 
existing approved paperwork to include PBRA, the addition of a Notice 
of Funding Availability (NOFA) (now called a ``Notice of Funding 
Opportunity'' or ``NOFO'') narrative, and the Cooperative Agreement.
    After further review, HUD has determined that the revised overall 
reporting and recordkeeping burden are estimated as follows:

III. Questions for Public Comment

    In accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), HUD is soliciting comments 
from members of the public and affected agencies concerning the 
information collection requirements in this supplemental notice of 
proposed rulemaking regarding:
    (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information;
    (3) Whether the proposed collection of information enhances the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
    (4) Whether the proposed information collection minimizes the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond; 
including through the use of appropriate automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses).
