Notice of Computer Matching Program,

Health Care Financing Administration

(HCFA) With the Social Security

Administration (SSA)

A. Participating Agencies

SSA and HCFA.

B. Purpose of the Matching Program

The purpose of this matching program

is to identify Supplemental Security

Income (SSI) recipients and Special

Veterans’ Benefits (SVB) beneficiaries

who have been admitted to certain

public institutions. The program will

thereby facilitate benefit reductions

required under certain provisions of

title XVI of the Social Security Act (Act)

for individuals in such institutions and

benefit terminations required under

certain provisions of title VIII of the Act

for individuals no longer residing

outside the United States.

C. Authority for Conducting the

Matching Program

Sections 1611(e)(1)(A) and (B), 1631(f)

and 806(a) and (b) of the Social Security

Act (42 U.S.C. 1382(e)(1)(A) and (B),

1383(f) and 1006(a) and (b)); 20 CFR

416.211.

D. Categories of Records and

Individuals Covered by the Matching

Program

On the basis of certain identifying

information regarding SSI and SVB

applicants, recipients and beneficiaries

as provided by SSA to HCFA, HCFA

will provide SSA with electronic files

containing skilled nursing facility

admission and billing data from its

Long-Term Care Minimum Data Set,

LTC/MDS 09–70–1516, system of

records. SSA will then match the HCFA

data with SSI and SVB payment

information maintained in the

Supplemental Security Income Record,

SSA/OSR 60–0103, system of records.

E. Inclusive Dates of the Match

The matching program shall become

effective no sooner than 40 days after

notice for the program is sent to

Congress and OMB, or 30 days after

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register, whichever date is later. The

matching program will continue for 18

months from the effective date and may

be extended for an additional 12 months

thereafter, if certain conditions are met.

Information Collection Request

1. Title: Advance Notice of Vessels’

Arrival and Departure.

OMB Control Number: 2115–0557.

Summary: The Ports and Waterways

Safety Act authorizes the Coast Guard to

require pre-arrival message or messages

from any vessel entering a port or place

in the United States.

Need: This information is necessary to

control vessel traffic, develop

contingency plans, and enforce rules.

Owners and operators of vessels may

apply for waivers of these rules.

Respondents: Frequency: Owners and

operators of vessels .

Frequency: On occasion.

Burden Estimate: The estimated

burden is 21,288 hours a year.

2. Title: Carriage of Bulk Solids

Requiring Special Handling—46 CFR

part 148.

OMB Control Number: 2115–0100.

Summary: The information in the

application for a special permit lets the

Coast Guard determine the severity of

the hazard posed by the material, lets it

set specific guidelines for safe carriage,

or, if the material presents too great a

hazard, lets it deny permission for

shipping the material.

Need: The Coast Guard administers

and enforces statutes and rules for the

safe transport and stowage of hazardous

materials, including bulk solids. Under

46 CFR part 148, the Coast Guard may

issue special permits for the carriage of

bulk solids requiring special handling.

Summary The Office of Boating Safety

of the Coast Guard may collect, analyze,

and annually publish statistical

information on recreational-boating

accidents (46 U.S.C. 6102 (b)).

Accordingly, the Coast Guard publishes

an annual report, Boating Statistics

(COMDTPUBP16754). This report

contains statistics and other information

on recreational-boating accidents. The

statistics derive from data on

Recreational Boating Accident Reports

submitted by the States, the District of

Columbia, and the five U.S. Territories.

Need: The purpose of this

questionnaire is to determine our

customers’ needs for information and

measure their satisfaction with Boating

Statistics. The results of the

questionnaire will help us improve the

quality (customer satisfaction) of the

annual report. A questionnaire is the

most accurate and practical way of

obtaining this information with the least

burden on the respondent and on the

Federal Government.

Respondents: Recreational boaters.

Frequency: Annually.

Burden Estimate: The estimated

burden is 320 hours a year.

Dated: January 11, 2001.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

In accordance with Part 211 of Title

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),

notice is hereby given that the Federal

Railroad Administration (FRA) received

a request for a waiver of compliance

from certain requirements of its safety

regulations. The individual petition is

described below including, the party

seeking relief, the regulatory provisions

involved, the nature of the relief being

requested, and the petitioner’s

arguments in favor of relief.

Texas Parks and Wildlife

[Docket Number FRA–2000–7270]

Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPW) seeks

a permanent waiver of compliance from

49 CFR 232.17(b)(2) to extend the clean,

oil, test, and stencil (COT&S) period

from 15 to 48 months on passenger cars

they operate equipped with UC and L

type air brakes. TPW operates the Texas

State Railroad between Rusk and

Palestine, Texas. They have two cars

equipped with L type brakes and the

rest have UC type brakes. Section

232.17(b)(2) requires that brake

equipment on passenger cars must be

clean, repaired, lubricated and tested as

often as necessary to maintain it in a

safe and suitable condition for service

but not less frequently than as required

in Standard S–045 in the Manual of

Standards and Recommended Practices

of the Association of American

Railroads. Standard S–045, A–III–256,

Section 2.1.2, requires a COT&S every

15 months for this brake equipment.

TPW has concluded that a car that runs

on a passenger railroad using a 15

month cycle would be legal for 10,800

hours. TPW has calculated that if the

equipment is in service only 60 percent

of the 15 month cycle, then only 6,480

hours would be used. TPW claims that

all of their annual runs, including

specials and school runs, only total

1,100 hours a year. Therefore, TPW

would like to extend the COT&S time

period to 48 months, which would be

less than 4,400 hours of actual service

time.

Interested parties are invited to

participate in these proceedings by

submitting written views, data, or

comments. FRA does not anticipate

scheduling a public hearing in

connection with these proceedings since

the facts do not appear to warrant a

hearing. If any interested party desires

an opportunity for oral comment, they

should notify FRA in writing, before the

end of the comment period and specify

the basis for their request.

All communications concerning these

proceedings should identify the

appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver

Petition Docket Number FRA–2000–

7270) and must be submitted in

triplicate to the Docket Clerk, DOT

Central Docket Management Facility,

Room PL–401, Washington, DC 20590–

0001. Communications received within

45 days of the date of this notice will

be considered by FRA before final

action is taken. Comments received after

that date will be considered as far as

practicable. All written communications

concerning these proceedings are

available for examination during regular

business hours (9 a.m.–5 p.m.) at DOT

Central Docket Management Facility,

Room PL–401 (Plaza Level), 400

Seventh Street S.W., Washington, DC

All documents in the public docket are

also available for inspection and
