Abstract: The Community Facilities

306 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act (7 U.S.C. 1926) to
make loans to public entities, nonprofit
corporations, and Indian tribes for the
development of community facilities for
public use in rural areas.
Community Facilities programs have
been in existence for 40 years. These
programs have financed a wide range of
projects varying in size and complexity
from large general hospitals to small day
care centers. The facilities financed are
designed to promote the development of
rural communities by providing the
infrastructure necessary to attract
residents and rural jobs.
Information will be collected by the
field offices from applicants, borrowers,
and consultants. This information will
be used to determine applicant/
borrower eligibility, assess project
feasibility, and ensure borrowers
operate on a sound basis and use funds
for authorized purposes. Failure to
collect proper information could result
in improper determination of eligibility,
improper use of funds, and/or unsound
loans.
Comments are invited on: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of
the Agency’s estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under the PRA and its implementing
regulations (5 CFR part 1320), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor
(e.g., contractually-required information
collection by a third-party). ‘‘Collection
of information,’’ within the meaning of
the PRA, includes agency requests that
pose identical questions to, or impose
reporting or recording keeping
obligations on, ten or more persons,
regardless of whether response to such
request is mandatory or voluntary. See
5 CFR 1320.3(c); see also 44 U.S.C.
3502(3). Before seeking clearance from
OMB, agencies are generally required,
among other things, to publish a 60-day
notice in the Federal Register
concerning any proposed information
collection and provide an opportunity
for comment. See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
II. Proposed New Information
Collection Request
The Access Board is providing notice
of its intent to seek approval of a new
information collection regarding
requests for training by members of the
public and state and local governments.
The Access Board provides training and
technical assistance on the guidelines
and standards that it promulgates,
including design criteria for the built
environment, transit vehicles, public
rights-of-way, information and
communication technology, and
medical diagnostic equipment under the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968,
and other laws. By practice, the Access
Board provides in-person and virtual
training to organizations across the
United States, to include State and local
agencies. The Access Board receives
email requests for training which
currently result in multiple
communications with the requestor to
determine if the Access Board is able to
E:\FR\FM\15JYN1.SGM
15JYN1
57389
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 135 / Monday, July 15, 2024 / Notices
provide the training requested. The
Access Board is proposing to streamline
this process for both the requestor and
the Board by creating a form for the
agency website to allow requestors to
submit all of the necessary information
at one time so the Board can review the
request and make a determination
whether the training can be provided.
The online form will be used unless the
requestor expresses a preference for
another format (e.g., discussion by
telephone).
OMB Control Number: X.
Title: Technical Assistance Training
Request Form.
Type of Request: New Collection.
Abstract: The proposed information
collection activity enables members of
the public, including state and local
agencies, to request technical assistance
training on the standards and guidelines
issued by the Access Board. This
collection will allow for streamlining
the process and decreasing wait times
for responses to these requests.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households; Businesses
and Organizations; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Burden Estimates: In the table below
(table 1), the Access Board provides
estimates for the annual reporting
burden under this proposed information
collection. The Access Board does not
anticipate incurring any capital or other
direct costs associated with this
information collection. Nor will there be
any costs to respondents, other than
their time.

Request for Comment: The Access
Board seeks comment on any aspect of
the proposed new information
collection, including: (a) whether it is
necessary for the Access Board’s
performance of the functions of the
agency; (b) whether the information will
have practical utility; (c) the accuracy of
the estimated burden; (d) ways for the
Access Board to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information
collections; and (e) ways that the burden
could be minimized without reducing
the quality of the collected information.
Comments will be summarized and
included in our request for OMB’s
approval of the new information
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Per the
interagency sea level rise report ‘‘2022:
Global and Regional Sea Level Rise
Scenarios for the United States: Updated
Mean Projections and Extreme Water
Level Probabilities Along U.S.
Coastlines,’’ sea level rise driven by
global climate change is a clear and
present risk to the United States today
and for the coming decades and
centuries. Sea levels will continue to
rise due to the ocean’s sustained
response to the warming that has
already occurred—even if climate
change mitigation succeeds in limiting
surface air temperatures in the coming
decades. Tens of millions of people in
the United States already live in areas
at risk of coastal flooding, with more
moving to the coasts every year. Rising
sea levels and land subsidence are
combining, and will continue to
combine, with other coastal flood
factors, such as storm surge, wave
effects, rising coastal water tables, river
flows, and rainfall, some of whose
characteristics are also undergoing
climate-related changes. The net result
will be a dramatic increase in the
exposure and vulnerability of this
growing population, as well as the
critical infrastructure related to
transportation, water, energy, trade,
military readiness, and coastal
ecosystems and the supporting services
they provide.
