Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request
In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the Board, the OCC, and the FDIC (the ``agencies'') may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') control number. The agencies have approved for public comment a proposal to extend, with minor revision, the Uniform Interagency Transfer Agent Registration and Amendment Form (``Form TA-1''), which is a currently approved collection of information. The agencies propose to modify Form TA-1, effective December 31, 2016, to require Board registrants to submit the form and attachments to a designated email address, to give FDIC registrants the option to submit the form and attachments to a designated email address, to require state savings associations to file with the FDIC, to remove outdated references to the Office of Thrift Supervision (``OTS''), to clarify the definition of a ``qualifying security,'' and to make other instructional clarifications. At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the agencies should modify the proposed revisions before giving final approval. The agencies will then submit the revisions to OMB for approval.

Evidence From Statutorily Excluded Medical Sources
In accordance with section 812 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA section 812), we propose to revise our rules to explain how we would address evidence furnished by medical sources that meet one of BBA section 812's exclusionary categories (statutorily excluded medical sources). Under this proposed rule, we would not consider evidence furnished by a statutorily excluded medical source unless we find good cause to do so. We propose several circumstances in which we would find good cause, and we also propose to require statutorily excluded medical sources to notify us of their excluded status when they furnish evidence to us. These rules would allow us to fulfill obligations that we have under the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA).
Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 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 ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the general public and federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. Sec. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirement on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, CNCS is soliciting comments concerning its proposed renewal of its Senior Corps Project Progress Report (PPR)OMB Control Number 3045-0033, with an expiration date of August 31, 2016. The Senior Corps PPR has two components: (1) Narratives and work plans, and (2) the Progress Report Supplement (PRS) which is an annual survey of volunteer demographics and grantee characteristics. The resulting data is used by grantees and CNCS to track performance and inform continued grant funding support, as well as to identify trends and to support management and analysis. Copies of the information collection request can be obtained by contacting the office listed in the Addresses section of this Notice.

Certain Recombinant Factor VIII Products
Notice is hereby given that the presiding administrative law judge (ALJ) has issued a final initial determination on May 27, 2016, and a recommended determination on remedy and bonding on June 3, 2016. The ALJ found no violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337). Should the Commission, however, find a violation of Section 337, the ALJ recommends that the Commission issue a limited exclusion order that excludes from importation into the United States certain recombinant factor VIII products manufactured by processes that infringe certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,100,061 and 8,084,252. The respondents are Novo Nordisk A/S of Bagsvaerd, Denmark, and Novo Nordisk Inc. of Plainsboro, N.J. Upon a finding of a violation, the ALJ further recommends that cease and desist orders issue to respondents and be directed to respondents' domestic inventories. This notice is soliciting public interest comments only from the public. Parties are to file public interest submissions pursuant to 19 CFR 210.50(a)(4) within 30 days from service of the recommended determination.
Privacy Act of 1974; Systems of Records
Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), the National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing public notice that it is rescinding two systems of records: NSF-3 Application and Account for Advance of Funds; and NSF-34 Integrated Time and Attendance System (ITAS). NSF is adding one new system of records: NSF-75 Early Career Doctorates Survey (ECDS). NSF is amending the agency-wide routine use number two titled Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act Compliance. NSF is also making revisions to the text of eight existing systems of records: NSF-6, Doctorate Records Files (Survey of Earned Doctorates); NSF-13, Fellowship Payroll; NSF-43, Doctorate Work History Files (Survey of Doctorate Recipients); NSF-55, Debarment/Scientific Misconduct Files; NSF-57, NSF Delinquent Debtors' File; NSF-58, National Survey of Recent College Graduates and Follow-up Files; NSF-65, NSF Electronic Payment File; and NSF-67, Invention, Patent and Licensing Documents.
Incentive-Based Compensation Arrangements
The OCC, Board, FDIC, FHFA, NCUA, and SEC (the Agencies) are seeking comment on a joint proposed rule (the proposed rule) to revise the proposed rule the Agencies published in the Federal Register on April 14, 2011, and to implement section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). Section 956 generally requires that the Agencies jointly issue regulations or guidelines: (1) Prohibiting incentive-based payment arrangements that the Agencies determine encourage inappropriate risks by certain financial institutions by providing excessive compensation or that could lead to material financial loss; and (2) requiring those financial institutions to disclose information concerning incentive- based compensation arrangements to the appropriate Federal regulator.
