formations, acquisitions, mergers, and 

nonbanking activities. The Federal 

Reserve uses this information to 

evaluate each individual transaction 

with respect to financial and managerial 

factors, permissibility, competitive 

effects, net public benefits, financial 

stability, and the impact on the 

convenience and needs of affected 

communities. 

The applicant or notificant also is 

required to publish a notice in a 

newspaper of general circulation in the 

community where the head office of the 

bank to be acquired is located. The 

notice must state the name and address 

of the applicant and its proposed 

subsidiary, and it must invite the public 

to submit written comments to the 

appropriate Federal Reserve Bank. 

Legal authorization and 

confidentiality: The FR Y–3 application 

and FR Y–3N notification are mandatory 

and submitted pursuant to section 3(a) 

of the BHC Act, which requires Board 

approval for formations, acquisitions, 

and mergers of bank holding companies 

(12 U.S.C. 1842(a)), and section 5(b) of 

the BHC Act, which authorizes the 

Board to issue regulations and orders to 

carry out these functions (12 U.S.C. 

1844(b)). The FR Y–4 notification is 

mandatory and submitted pursuant to 

section 4(j) of the BHC Act, which 

requires BHCs to give advance written 

notice to the Board of any nonbanking 

activities (12 U.S.C. 1843(j)), and section 

5(b) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. 1844(b)), 

described above. 

The information submitted in the FR 

Y–3, Y–3N, and Y–4 is considered to be 

public unless an institution requests 

confidential treatment for portions of 

the particular application or 

notification. Applicants may rely on any 

Freedom of Information Act exemption, 

and such requests for confidentiality 

must contain detailed justifications 

corresponding to the claimed 

exemption. Requests for confidentiality 

will be evaluated on a case-by-case 

basis. 

Effective date: July 31, 2018. 

Current actions: On March 23, 2018, 

the Board published a notice in the 

Federal Register (83 FR 12758) 

requesting public comment for 60 days 

on the extension, with revision, of the 

FR Y–3, FR Y–3N, and FR Y–4. The 

Board proposes to revise the FR Y–3, FR 

Y–3N, and FR Y–4 forms and 

instructions in order to improve the 

clarity of the requests; reflect the impact 

of new laws, regulations, capital 

requirements and accounting rules; 

delete items that are not typically useful 

for the analysis of the proposal; and add 

transparency for filers regarding the 

information that is required to consider 

a proposal. The revisions are intended 

to make initial filings better reflect and 

include the information that Board staff 

requires to evaluate a transaction and 

thereby reduce the need for subsequent 

information requests, which may delay 

the Board’s consideration of a filing and 

create additional burden for filers. The 

comment period for this notice expired 

on May 22, 2018. The Board did not 

receive any comments. Accordingly, the 

revisions will be implemented as 

proposed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

This is a requirement for a revision 

and renewal of OMB control number 

9000–0188, Combating Trafficking in 

Persons. 

Executive Order (E.O.) 13627, entitled 

Strengthening Protections Against 

Trafficking in Persons in Federal 

Contracts, dated September 25, 2012 (77 

FR 60029, October 2, 2012) and Title 

XVII of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 

(Pub. L. 112–239, enacted January 2, 

2013) strengthen the long standing zerotolerance policy of the United States 

regarding Government employees and 

contractor personnel engaging in any 

form of trafficking in persons. 

Contractors are required to inform the 

contracting officer and the agency 

Inspector General of any credible 

information it receives from any source 

that alleges a contractor employee, 

subcontractor, or subcontractor 

employee, or their agent has engaged in 

conduct that violates the policy in 

paragraph (b) of the clause 52.222–50. 

This requirement flows down to all 

subcontractors. 

Additional protections are required 

where the estimated value of the 

supplies (other than commercially 

available off-the-shelf (COTS) items) to 

be acquired outside the United States or 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
34582 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 140 / Friday, July 20, 2018 / Notices 

the services to be performed, outside the 

United States has an estimated value 

that exceeds $500,000. These 

protections include the following: (a) 

The contractor is required to implement 

and maintain a compliance plan during 

the performance of the contract that 

includes an awareness program, a 

process for employees to report activity 

inconsistent with the zero-tolerance 

policy, a recruitment and wage plan, a 

housing plan, and procedures to prevent 

subcontractors from engaging in 

trafficking in persons; and (b) The 

contractor is required to submit a 

certification to the contracting officer 

prior to receiving an award, and 

annually thereafter, asserting that it has 

the required compliance plan in place 

and that there have been no abuses, or 

that appropriate actions have been taken 

if abuses have been found. The 

compliance plan must be provided to 

the contracting officer upon request, and 

relevant portions of it must be posted at 

the workplace and on the contractor’s 

website. Additionally, contractors are 

required to flow these requirements 

down to any subcontracts where the 

estimated value of the supplies acquired 

or the services required to be performed 

outside the United States exceeds 

$500,000. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: CDC is dedicated to 

protecting health and promoting quality 

of life through the prevention and 

control of disease, injury, and disability. 

NIOSH, one of CDC’s Centers, Institutes, 

and Offices, was established by the 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970. NIOSH plans, directs, and 

coordinates a national program to 

develop and establish recommended 

occupational safety and health 

standards; conduct research and 

training; provide technical assistance; 

and perform related activities to assure 

safe and healthful working conditions 

for every working person in the United 

States. 

Currently, three NIOSH research 

facilities—the Robert A. Taft Campus, 

Taft North Campus, and the Alice 

Hamilton Laboratory Campus—are 

located in Cincinnati, Ohio. These 

facilities no longer meet the research 

needs required to support occupational 

safety and health in the modern 

workplace. The facilities’ deficiencies 

adversely affect NIOSH’s ability to 

conduct occupational safety and health 

research in Cincinnati. It is not possible 

to renovate the facilities located on the 

three campuses to meet current 

standards and requirements. 

Additionally, the current distribution of 

NIOSH activities across separate 

campuses in Cincinnati results in 

inefficiencies in scientific collaboration 

and the duplication of operational 

support activities. Therefore, CDC is
