Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 179 / Monday, September 18, 2023 / Notices
The appellant is responsible for
verifying that the bank provides a
current Fitch rating to ONRR. After the
appeal’s resolution, ONRR may release
and return the LOC to the appellant or
collect payment on the LOC. If
collection is necessary for a remaining
balance, ONRR will issue a demand for
payment that includes the principal
amount plus the interest assessed on the
receivable, to the bank with a notice to
the appellant.
C. Form ONRR–4437, Assignment of
Certificate of Deposit: An appellant may
choose to secure a debt by requesting to
use a Certificate of Deposit (‘‘CD’’) from
a bank with the required minimum
rating and submitting form ONRR–4437,
Assignment of Certificate of Deposit.
Requirements under 30 CFR 1243.4 and
proposed regulations at 25 CFR 226.179
continue to apply. The appellant must
file the request with ONRR prior to the
invoice due date. ONRR will accept a
book-entry CD that explicitly assigns the
CD to ONRR’s Director. If collection of
the CD is necessary for an unpaid
balance, ONRR will return unused CD
funds to the appellant after total
settlement of the appealed issues,
including applicable interest charges.
D. Self-bonding (Federal leases only,
not applicable to Indian or the Osage
Mineral Estate leases): For Federal oil
and gas leases, regulations under 30
CFR 1243.201 provide that no surety
instrument is required when a person
representing the appellant periodically
demonstrates, to the satisfaction of
ONRR, that the guarantor or appellant is
financially solvent or otherwise able to
pay the obligation. The appellant must
submit a written request to ‘‘self-bond’’
every time a new appeal is filed. To
evaluate the financial solvency and
exemption from requirements of
appellants to maintain a surety related
to an appeal, ONRR requires appellants
to submit a consolidated balance sheet,
subject to annual audit. In some cases,
ONRR also requires copies of the most
recent tax returns (up to three years)
filed by the appellant.
In addition, an appellant must
annually submit financial statements,
subject to audit, to support its net
worth. ONRR uses the consolidated
balance sheet or business information
supplied to evaluate the financial
solvency of a lessee, designee, or payor
seeking a stay of payment obligation
pending review. If the appellant does
not have a consolidated balance sheet
documenting its net worth, or if it does
not meet the $300 million net worth
requirement, ONRR will select a
business information or credit reporting
service to provide information
concerning the appellant’s financial
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
solvency. ONRR charges the appellant a
$50 fee each time it reviews data from
a business information or credit
reporting service. The fee covers
ONRR’s cost to determine an appellant’s
financial solvency.
E. U.S. Treasury Securities: An
appellant may choose to secure its debts
by requesting to use a U.S. Treasury
Security (‘‘TS’’). The appellant must file
the letter of request with ONRR prior to
the invoice due date. The TS must be a
U.S. Treasury note or bond with
maturity equal to or greater than one
year. The TS must equal 120 percent of
the appealed amount plus 1 year of
estimated interest (necessary to protect
ONRR against interest rate fluctuations).
ONRR only accepts book-entry TS.
Title of Collections: Suspensions
Pending Appeal and Bonding.
OMB Control Number: 1012–0006.
Form Numbers: ONRR–4435, ONRR–
4436, and ONRR–4437.
Type of Review: Revision to a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Businesses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 107 appellants.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 107.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: The time per response is 120
mins. The average completion time is
calculated by first multiplying the
estimated annual burden hours (214
burden hours) by 60 to obtain the total
annual burden minutes. Then the total
annual burden minutes (12,840) is
divided by the estimated annual
responses (107).
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 214 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Frequency of Collection: Annually
and on occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Non-Hour
Burden Cost: ONRR identified no ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burden associated with
this collection of information.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-hour’’ Cost
Burden: There are no additional
recordkeeping costs associated with this
information collection. However, ONRR
estimates 5 appellants per year will pay
a $50 fee to obtain credit data from a
business information or credit reporting
service, which is a total ‘‘non-hour’’ cost
burden of $250 per year (5 appellants
per year × $50 = $250).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.

administration of the WIOA Section 166
Indian and Native American
employment and training programs. In
addition, the NAETC advises the
Secretary on matters that promote the
employment and training needs of
Indians and Native Americans, as well
as to enhance the quality of life in
accordance with the Indian SelfDetermination and Education
Assistance Act. The NAETC also
provides guidance to the Secretary on
how to make DOL discretionary funding
and other special initiatives more
accessible to Indian tribes, tribal
organizations, Alaska Native entities,
Indian-controlled organizations serving
Indians, or Native Hawaiian
organizations.
II. Structure
The Council will be composed of no
less than 15 members, but no more than
20, appointed by the Secretary, who are
representatives of Indian tribes, tribal
organizations, Alaska Native entities,
Indian-controlled organizations serving
Indians, or Native Hawaiian
organizations pursuant to WIOA Section
166(i)(4)(B). The membership of the
Council will, to the extent practicable,
represent all geographic areas of the
United States with a substantial Indian,
Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian
population, and will include
representatives of tribal governments
and of non-reservation Native
American, Alaska Native, or Native
Hawaiian organizations that have
expertise in the areas of workforce
development, secondary and postsecondary education, health care,
business and economic development,
and job sectors growth.
Each NAETC member will be
appointed for a two-year term. A
vacancy occurring in the Council
membership will be filled in the same
manner as the original appointment. A
member appointed to a vacancy on the
Council will serve for the remainder of
the term for which the predecessor of
that member was appointed. Members
of NAETC will serve on a voluntary and
generally uncompensated basis, but will
be reimbursed for travel expenses to
attend NAETC meetings, including per
diem in lieu of subsistence, as
authorized by the Federal travel
regulations. All NAETC members will
serve at the pleasure of the Secretary.
Members may be appointed,
reappointed, or replaced, and their
terms may be extended, changed, or
terminated at the Secretary’s discretion.
II. Nominations Process
The Department is seeking
nominations from representatives of

tribal governments and American
Indian, Alaska Native, and Native
Hawaiian organizations that have
expertise in the areas of workforce
development, secondary and postsecondary education, health care,
human services, veteran services,
business and economic development,
and job sectors growth to join the
Council and provide expertise on the
WIOA Section 166, Indian and Native
American Programs. The Charter
requires that the Council, to the extent
practicable, shall represent all

or Native Hawaiian population.
Accordingly, the Department is seeking
representatives from each of the six
Department of Labor Employment and
Training Administration (ETA) regions
(see ETA regions located at: https://
www.doleta.gov/regions), including
representatives for Hawaii, Alaska, and
Oklahoma and ‘‘Other Disciplines.’’ In
nominating representatives for ‘‘Other
Disciplines,’’ prospective nominees may
represent various areas of expertise,
such as technical experts (e.g.,
registered apprenticeships), education
(tribal colleges or universities), health
care, human services, elected tribal
leaders, business, data analysis,
economic development, or other sectors.
Appointments for the following 18
members will expire on March 10, 2024:
Mr. Darrell Waldron, Region I, Boston
(includes CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PR,
RI, and VT); and Region II (includes DE,

Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
their ETA region only, except that
nominations for Other Disciplines may
by grantees from any ETA region for
individuals residing in any ETA region.
In order to meet the FACA requirement
of a fairly balanced membership and to
ensure that the points of view of Alaska
Natives and Native Hawaiians are
represented on the Council,
nominations for individuals
representing Alaska Natives and Native
Hawaiians will be accepted in addition
to nominations for each region. In
addition, a representative for the State
of Oklahoma will be accepted due to the
number of tribes and the concentration
of American Indians in Oklahoma.
In submitting nominations,
consideration should be given to the
availability of the nominee to attend and
actively participate in Council meetings
(not less than twice each year),
willingness to serve on Council
subcommittees and workgroups, and
provide feedback to the grantee
community. Communication between
the Council member and his or her
constituency is essential to the
partnership between the Department
and the Indian and Native American
communities.

I. Background
II. Current Action
The Consumer Expenditure (CE)
Surveys collect data on consumer
expenditures, demographic information,
and related data needed by the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) and other
public and private data users. The
continuing surveys provide a constant
measurement of changes in consumer
expenditure patterns for economic
analysis and to obtain data for future
CPI revisions. The CE Surveys have
been ongoing since 1979.
The data from the CE Surveys are
used (1) for CPI revisions, (2) to provide
a continuous flow of data on income
and expenditure patterns for use in
economic analysis and policy
formulation, and (3) to provide a
flexible consumer survey vehicle that is
available for use by other Federal
Government agencies. Public and
private users of price statistics,
including Congress and the economic
policymaking agencies of the Executive
branch, rely on data collected in the CPI
in their day-to-day activities. Hence,
data users and policymakers widely
accept the need to improve the process
used for revising the CPI. If the CE
Surveys were not conducted on a
continuing basis, current information
necessary for more timely, as well as
more accurate, updating of the CPI
would not be available. In addition, data
would not be available to respond to the
continuing demand from the public and
private sectors for current information
on consumer spending.
In the Quarterly Interview Survey,
each consumer unit (CU) in the sample
is interviewed every three months over
four calendar quarters. The sample for
each quarter is divided into three
panels, with CUs being interviewed
every three months in the same panel of
every quarter. The Quarterly Interview
Survey is designed to collect data on the
types of expenditures that respondents
can be expected to recall for a period of
three months or longer. In general the
expenses reported in the Interview
Survey are either relatively large, such
as property, automobiles, or major
appliances, or are expenses which occur
on a fairly regular basis, such as rent,
utility bills, or insurance premiums.
The Diary (or recordkeeping) Survey
is completed at home by the respondent
family for two consecutive one-week
periods. The primary objective of the
Diary Survey is to obtain expenditure
data on small, frequently purchased
items which normally are difficult to
recall over longer periods of time.
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought to continue
the Consumer Expenditure Surveys: The
Quarterly Interview (CEQ) and the Diary
(CED) and to make modifications to
both.
In the CEQ, as part of CE’s ongoing
effort to streamline the questionnaire,
CE requests clearance to make the
following modifications to the
Computer Assisted Personal Interview
(CAPI) instrument: rewording items to
make collection easier cognitively,
grouping similar items together,
aggregating collection of items
previously collected separately, and
eliminating several questions.
Specifically, the changes will include
the following:
A new ‘Household Services’ section
groups question on the items that were
asked across the interview survey
including termite/pest control,
gardening/lawn care, water softening,
septic tank cleaning, housekeeping,
home security system fees, moving/
storage/freight, heating or air
conditioning contracts, home
warranties/maintenance/service
contracts on household appliances, and
other home services or repair jobs.
For the ‘Owned Properties’ section,
the list of items included in payments
was simplified, and questions regarding
why a payment amount changed were
added, including related questions for
additional principal/interest, and late/
other fees. For the ‘Utilities’ section, the
list of phone/cable/internet expenses
was consolidated, and questions about
breaking out cable/internet fees from a
bundled bill are no longer asked. The
‘Medical expenditures’ section was also
consolidated, reworded, and reordered.
The CE also requests clearance for
minor changes to both the CED CAPI
Instrument and the Diary form. Changes
to the CAPI instrument include
consolidating the grocery questions to
one question and adding a question to
give respondents the option of reporting
online or by paper diary. Changes to the
Diary form include adding instructions
to include delivery fees for ‘Meals Away
from Home’ in addition to tax and tip.
We also request approval for adding
help videos for respondents who choose
to use the online diary to report their
diary expenditures.
