Agencies and Commissions March 29, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Federal Communications Commission published a document in the Federal Register on Monday, September 24, 2007 (72 FR 54214), revising Commission rules pertaining to the recordkeeping requirements for eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs) receiving Universal Service low-income support. That document inadvertently deleted a sentence from 47 CFR 54.417(a). This document corrects the final regulation by revising this section.

The National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations will hold its second and third meetings on April 7, 2010 and May 5, 2010 at the time and location shown below. The Council is an advisory body composed of representatives of Federal employee organizations, Federal management organizations, and senior government officials. The Council was established by Executive Order 13522, entitled, ``Creating Labor-Management Forums to Improve Delivery of Government Services,'' which was signed by the President on December 9, 2009. Along with its other responsibilities, the Council assists in the implementation of Labor Management Forums throughout the government and makes recommendations to the President on innovative ways to improve delivery of services and products to the public while cutting costs and advancing employee interests. The Council is co-chaired by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management and the Deputy Director for Management of the Office of Management and Budget.

In accordance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 which provides opportunity for public comment on new or revised data collections, the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) will publish periodic summaries of proposed data collections.

The NTSB is announcing that it is submitting an Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This ICR describes a form that the NTSB proposes to use to obtain information from operators who need to report the occurrence of a resolution advisory (RA) in which an aircraft encountered a risk of collision with another aircraft. The proposed form is shorter than the form in which the NTSB currently receives reports of incidents under 49 CFR 830.5 (NTSB Form 6120.1). This Notice informs the public that they may submit comments concerning the proposed use of this new form to the NTSB Desk Officer at the OMB.

The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. Comments are requested concerning: (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology, and (e) ways to further reduce the information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
