SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Qualitative Study of Factors that Influence Healthcare Seeking in Pilots; OMB Control Number 0701– TPHB. Type of Request: New. Number of Respondents: 100. Responses per Respondent: 1. Annual Responses: 100. Average Burden per Response: 48 minutes. Annual Burden Hours: 80. Needs and Uses: Information collection via semi-structured interviews is necessary to conduct a qualitative study of US Air Force active duty pilots, US Air Force trainee pilots, civilian collegiate aviation students, and commercial airline pilots. Data collection will focus on the following: (1) factors that negatively influence healthcare utilization and aeromedical disclosure during screening, (2) factors that support healthcare utilization and aeromedical disclosure during screening, and (3) factors that can be modified to address pilot healthcare avoidance from a pilot’s perspective to inform future prospective research. This study has been approved as part of the FY22 Studies and Analysis (S&A) Portfolio by the Commander of the United States School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM). The Air Force Aerospace and Operational Medicine (AO) Panel (lead by the AFMRA/SG3P) provides baseline S&A funds to USAFSAM to address urgent and nearterm needs, issues, and consultative questions that arise from installations, the Aerospace Medicine Community (Team-SGP) and Line of the Air Force senior leadership and commanders that ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 74983 are appropriate for one-year, short term investigative work. Aircraft pilots are required to meet certain medical standards in order to function as a required aircrew member. If a pilot develops a new symptom or condition and discloses it during aeromedical screening, the pilot runs the risk of temporary or permanent loss of their flying status. This can result in negative occupational, social, and financial repercussions for the pilot. For this reason, it has been hypothesized that a subset of pilots participates in healthcare avoidance or does not fully disclose during aeromedical screening due to fear for aeromedical certificate loss. Evolving data is beginning to clarify the vast scope of this issue. A recent publication of over 3,500 US pilots showed that 56.1% of pilots reported a history of healthcare avoidance behavior due to fear for loss of aeromedical certification (1). More concerning, 60.1% of another sample of US pilots reported delaying or forgoing medical care due to fear for loss of flying status (2). Healthcare avoidance in aircraft pilots due to fear for loss of flying status may be prevalent, but many unanswered questions remain about factors that influence healthcare utilization and medical disclosure during aeromedical screening. Research on pilot healthcare avoidance is critical to maintain military readiness for the following reasons: (1) optimizing existing medical assets increases the efficiency and effectiveness of warfighting capability without increased investment; (2) early presentation to medical care can increase the operational career and medical readiness of pilots, resulting in increased readiness efficacy and cost savings; and (3) research on pilots can inform how the aeromedical system supports this generation of pilots in the future (this population of pilots is hypothesized to have different healthcare preferences and behaviors from previous generations of pilots).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Jurisdictional Determination Forms and Aquatic Resources Delineation Forms; ENG Forms 6116 (0– 9), 6245–6250, 6281 (1–2); OMB Control Number 0710–0024. Needs and Uses Jurisdictional Determination Forms The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), through its Regulatory Program, regulates certain activities in waters of the United States (WOTUS), pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). WOTUS are defined under 33 CFR part 328. The Corps also regulates certain activities in ‘‘navigable waters of the United States’’ pursuant to Sections 9 and 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (RHA). The Corps has authorized its district engineers to issue formal determinations concerning the applicability of the CWA or the RHA to tracts of land. (See 33 CFR 320.1(a)(6)). These formal determinations concerning the applicability of the CWA or RHA to tracts of land are known as ‘‘jurisdictional determinations.’’ Approved jurisdictional determinations (AJDs) and preliminary JDs (PJDs) are tools used by the Corps to help implement Section 404 of the CWA (33 U.S.C. 1344) and Sections 9 and 10 of the RHA (33 U.S.C. 401, et seq.). Both types of JDs specify what geographic areas will be treated as subject to regulation by the Corps under one or both statutes. On August 29, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of the Army (the agencies) issued a final rule to amend the final ‘‘Revised Definition of ‘Waters PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 of the United States’’’ rule, published in the Federal Register on January 18, 2023. This final rule conforms the definition of ‘‘waters of the United States’’ to the U.S. Supreme Court’s May 25, 2023, decision in the case of Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. Parts of the January 2023 Rule are invalid under the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Clean Water Act in the Sackett decision. Therefore, the agencies have amended key aspects of the regulatory text to conform it to the Court’s decision. The conforming rule, ‘‘Revised Definition of ’Waters of the United States’; Conforming,’’ published in the Federal Register and became effective on September 8, 2023. As a result of ongoing litigation on the January 2023 Rule, the agencies are currently implementing the January 2023 Rule, as amended by the conforming rule, in 23 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories. In the other 27 states and for certain parties, the agencies are interpreting ‘‘waters of the United States’’ consistent with the pre-2015 regulatory regime and the Supreme Court’s decision in Sackett until further notice. This information collection request thus implements the collections of information associated with the Corps’ implementation of the 2023 Rule, as amended, and the pre-2015 regime consistent with Sackett. The Corps intends to implement the 2023 Conforming Rule and the pre-2015 regime consistent with Sackett using two forms, which consist of the Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form (PJD Form) and a ‘‘JD Request Form.’’ Under the most recent regulatory regimes (the September 2023 Conforming Rule and the pre-2015 regime consistent with Sackett), the Corps has elected to use a Memorandum for Record (MFR) instead of a JD ‘‘form’’ to document the basis of its jurisdictional decisions under those two regimes. While we are including four separate AJD Forms in this package, including (1) the ‘‘pre-2015 regime (a.k.a., ‘‘Rapanos’’)’’ AJD Form, (2) The pre-2015/Rapanos ‘‘dry land’’ AJD Form, (3) the 2020 NWPR AJD Form, and (4) the January 2023 Rule AJD Form, none of those four AJD Forms are currently in use. Even though these four forms are not currently in use, they are included in this collection for historical purposes. Therefore, there a total of six JD forms (the PJD Form, the JD Request Form, and the 4 historical AJD Forms) in this collection. E:\FR\FM\01NON1.SGM 01NON1
