30-Day FRN - 2900-0002 (2015)

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 232 / Thursday, December 3, 2015 / Notices
U.S. Requiring final assembly to be
performed in the U.S. is consistent with
past guidance to FHWA Division Offices
on manufactured products (see
Memorandum on Buy America Policy
Response, Dec. 22, 1997, http://
www.fhwa.dot.gov/programadmin/
contracts/122297.cfm). A waiver of the
Buy America requirement without any
regard to where the vehicle is assembled
would diminish the purpose of the Buy
America requirement. Moreover, in
today’s economic environment, the Buy
America requirement is especially
significant in that it will ensure that
Federal Highway Trust Fund dollars are
used to support and create jobs in the
U.S. This approach is similar to the
conditional waivers previously given for
various vehicle projects. Thus, so long
as the final assembly of the 74 State
projects occurs in the U.S., applicants to
this waiver request may proceed to
purchase these vehicles and equipment
consistent with the Buy America
requirement.
In accordance with the provisions of
section 117 of the ‘‘Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity
Act: A Legacy for Users, Technical
Corrections Act of 2008’’ (Pub. L. 110–
244), FHWA is providing this notice of
its finding that a public interest waiver
of Buy America requirements is
appropriate on the condition that the
vehicles and equipment identified in
the notice be assembled in the U.S. The
FHWA invites public comment on this
finding for an additional 15 days
following the effective date of the
finding. Comments may be submitted to
FHWA’s Web site via the link provided
to the waiver page noted above.

OMB Control Number: 2900–0002.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 21P–527EZ—The
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA),
through its Veterans Benefits
Administration (VBA), administers an
integrated program of benefits and
services, established by law, for
veterans, service personnel, and their
dependents and/or beneficiaries. Title
38 U.S.C. 5101(a) provides that a
specific claim in the form provided by
the Secretary must be filed in order for
benefits to be paid to any individual
under the laws administered by the
Secretary. VA Form 21P–527EZ will be
the prescribed form for Veterans
Pension applications.
VA proposes to remove VA Form 21–
527EZ, Application for Veterans
Pension, from OMB control number
2900–0747 and have it assigned to OMB
control number 2900–0002 since the
form has been transferred to Pension &
Fiduciary Service (21P). Also, due to the
change in business lines, we are
changing the form prefix to 21P.
VA Form 21P–527—This form will be
used by Veterans to apply for pension
benefits after they have previously
applied for pension or for serviceconnected disability compensation
using one of the prescribed forms under
38 U.S.C 5101(a). A veteran might
reapply for pension if a previous
compensation or pension claim was
denied or discontinued, or if the veteran
is receiving compensation and the
veteran now believes that pension
would be a greater benefit.
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.
The Federal Register Notice with a
60-day comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on August 7,
2015 at [80 FR 152, pages 47563–47564].
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 59,230
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 0.50 hours (30 minutes).
Frequency of Response: One-time.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
118,197 respondents.
By direction of the Secretary.
