Federal Register: U.S. Geological Survey Issues Information Collection Notice on Alaska Beak Deformity Observations
WASHINGTON, June 1 (TNSinfo) -- The U.S. Department of the Interior Geological Survey issued the following information collection:
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is proposing to renew an information collection as part of the ongoing research in North American birds. Members of the public provide observation reports of birds with deformities from Alaska and other regions.

WASHINGTON, June 1 (TNSinfo) -- The U.S. Department of the Interior Geological Survey issued the following information collection:
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is proposing to renew an information collection as part of the ongoing research in North American birds. Members of the public provide observation reports of birds with deformities from Alaska and other regions.
In accordance with the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all information collections require approval under the PRA. An agency may not conductor sponsor, nor is an individual required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on March 31, 2026 (91 FR 16012). No comments were received. As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other Federal agencies on the proposed information collection request (ICR) that is described below. We are especially interested in public comments addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility.
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used.
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4) How the agency might minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personally identifiable information (PII) in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including your PII--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your PII from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract: As part of the USGS Ecosystems Mission Area effort to provide science that is used by managers, policymakers, and others for decisions that protect, conserve, and enhance healthy fish and wildlife populations across the United States and beyond, the Alaska Science Center Landbird Program conducts research on avian populations within Alaska. Beginning in the late 1990s, an outbreak of beak deformities in Black-capped Chickadees and other species emerged in southcentral Alaska. USGS scientists launched a study to understand the scope of this problem and its effect on wild birds. Since that time, researchers have gathered important information about the deformities--they have identified a new virus as the likely cause and the geographical distribution appears to be expanding. The collection of PII is requested as part of this ongoing research in North American birds. Members of the public provide observation reports of birds with deformities from Alaska and other regions. These reports are very important in that they allow researchers to determine the geographical distribution of the beak deformities and species affected. Data collection over such a large and remote area would not be possible without the public's assistance. As part of the online reporting system, an individual's phone number, email address, and mailing address are requested. This information allows researchers to request additional details or verify reports if necessary but is not required for submission. PII is used only for contact purposes, is stored in a separate table that is encrypted, and is not shared in any way with other individuals, groups, or organizations.
Title of Collection: Alaska Beak Deformity Observations.
OMB Control Number: 1028-0116.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals/households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 150.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 175.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: Approximately 5 minutes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 15 hours.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: One time.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None.
The authority for this action is the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

WASHINGTON, June 1 (TNSinfo) -- The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation issued the following information collection:
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) extend approval, under the Paperwork Reduction Act, of a collection of information contained in its regulation on Liability for Termination of Single-Employer Plans (OMB control number 1212-0017; expires August 31, 2026). This notice informs the public of PBGC's request and solicits public comment on the collection of information.
Section 4062 of the Employee RetirementIncome Security Act of 1974, as amended, provides that the contributing sponsor of a single-employer pension plan and members of the sponsor's controlled group ("the employer") incur liability ("employer liability") if the plan terminates with assets insufficient to pay benefit liabilities under the plan. PBGC's statutory lien for employer liability and the payment terms for employer liability are affected by whether and to what extent employer liability exceeds 30 percent of the employer's net worth. Section 4062.6 of PBGC's employer liability regulation (29 CFR part 4062) requires a contributing sponsor or member of the contributing sponsor's controlled group that believes employer liability upon plan termination exceeds 30 percent of the employer's net worth to so notify PBGC and submit net worth information to PBGC. This information is necessary to enable PBGC to determine whether and to what extent employer liability exceeds 30 percent of the employer's net worth.
The collection of information under the regulation has been approved by OMB under control number 1212-0017 (expires August 31, 2026). On March 3, 2026, PBGC published in the Federal Register a notice (at 91 FR 10421) informing the public of its intent to request an extension of this collection of information and solicited public comment. No comments were received. 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.
PBGC estimates that an average of 19 contributing sponsors or controlled group members per year will respond to this collection of information. PBGC further estimates that the average annual burden of this collection of information will be 12 hours and $5,400 per respondent, with an average total annual burden of 228 hours and $102,600.

WASHINGTON, June 1 (TNSinfo) -- The U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued the following information collection:
In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR) summarized below will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected burden. This collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval concerns NHTSA's Criminal Penalty Safe HarborProvision. It is a renewal of a previously approved information collection.
Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), a Federal agency must receive approval from OMB before it collects certain information from the public and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information by a Federal agency unless the collection displays a valid OMB control number. In compliance with these requirements, this notice announces that the following information collection request will be submitted to OMB.
Title: Criminal Penalty Safe Harbor Provision.
OMB Control Number: 2127-0609.
Form Number(s): N/A.
Type of Request: Request for renewal of a previously approved information collection.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Length of Approval Requested: 3 years from date of approval.
Summary of the Collection of Information: The Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation ("TREAD") Act (Pub. L. 106-414), codified at 49 U.S.C. 30170, establishes criminal liability for intentionally misleading the Secretary of Transportation (the "Secretary") regarding safety-related vehicle or motor vehicle equipment defects that result in death or serious injury. Section 30170 also contains a "safe harbor" provision that would shield a person from criminal penalties if they lacked knowledge that the violation would cause death or serious bodily injury and if they correct any improper or missing reports to the Secretary (NHTSA by delegation) within a reasonable time. To implement this requirement, NHTSA published a final rule defining a "reasonable time" and a sufficient manner of "correction" for safe harbor eligibility. 66 FR 38380 (July 24, 2001). The rule is codified at 49 CFR 578.7.
To seek this safe harbor, a respondent must submit a signed, dated document to NHTSA identifying: (1) each previous improper report, and each failure to report as required under 49 U.S.C. 30166, including a regulation, requirement, request or order issued thereunder, for which protection is sought; and (2) the specific predicate under which the improper or omitted report should have been provided. Additionally, respondents must submit the complete and correct information and documents that were previously omitted or improperly submitted. If they cannot, they must provide a detailed description of that information and/or the content of those documents and the reason why the individual cannot provide them to NHTSA ( e.g., the information or documents are not in the individual's possession or control).
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the Information
This statutorily mandated collection also advances NHTSA's mission. It allows NHTSA to accept information from persons seeking "safe harbor." It further encourages the correction of violations and submission of corrections of any improper reports or failures to report, thereby increasing the likelihood of NHTSA receiving information about safety related defects. NHTSA anticipates using the information collection to evaluate requests for protection from criminal prosecution and to aid in the identification of potential safety defects in motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment.
Affected Public: Those affected are motor vehicle and motor vehicle equipment manufacturers, including officers or employees thereof, and other persons who respond to or have a duty to respond to an information collection pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30166 or a regulation, requirement, request, or order issued thereunder. The information collection applies to persons who seek "safe harbor" under Sec. 30170.
Estimated Number of Respondents: One.
Frequency: As needed basis.
Number of Responses: One.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Two hours annually.
NHTSA estimates that one person per year will submit a report under this collection of information. NHTSA also estimates that a maximum of two hours would be needed to gather and provide the information. Thus, NHTSA estimates that two burden hours a year would be spent on this collection of information.
To calculate the labor cost associated with submitting the collection of information, NHTSA looked at wage estimates for the type of personnel involved with compiling and submitting the documents. NHTSA estimates the total labor costs associated with these burden hours by looking at the average wage for Management Occupations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that the average hourly wage for Management Occupations (BLS Occupation code 11-0000) in the Management of Companies and Enterprises Industry is $79.82.[1] The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that private industry workers' wages represent 70.1% of total labor compensation costs.[2] Therefore, NHTSA estimates the hourly labor costs to be $113.87 for BLS Occupation code 11-0000. NHTSA likewise estimates the total labor cost associated with the two burden hours to be $227.74. Table 1 provides a summary of the estimated burden hours and labor costs associated with those submissions.
Annual responses
Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: $12.90.
Assuming the respondent uses the U.S. Postal Service, NHTSA estimates that each mailed response is estimated to cost $12.90 (priority flat rate envelope from USPS). Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total annual costs for this information collection to be $12.90 (1 submission x $12.90). If the respondent emails the report to NHTSA, the cost may be less than $12.90.
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including: (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 respondents, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended; 49 CFR 1.49; and DOT Order 1351.29A.
Peter Simshauser,
Chief Counsel.
