  • 2020-29252 — Notice of Establishment of Emergency Relief Docket for Calendar Year 2021
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 702
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has set up an Emergency Relief Docket for 2021 to assist organizations affected by national or regional emergencies or disasters. This measure allows grant recipients and sub-recipients to request temporary relief from FTA administrative and statutory requirements. To apply for relief, individuals should submit petitions through the online docket or by mail, including specific information about their situation. While the FTA can provide short-term, conditionally granted relief for administrative requests, statutory requirements need a formal decision from the FTA Administrator.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Transit Administration made a special rule for 2021 to help people affected by emergencies, letting them ask for a break from certain rules if they explain why they need it, but if the government doesn't reply in three days, they can assume their request is approved.

    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking public comments on the renewal of an information collection related to civil rights compliance. This collection requires grant recipients to submit a non-discrimination assurance as part of their application, as mandated by several federal statutes. The feedback will help NASA determine the necessity, accuracy, and efficiency of this information gathering, and public comments are welcome until February 3, 2025. NASA intends to use this data to conduct compliance reviews after grants are awarded.

    Simple Explanation

    NASA is asking people to tell them what they think about some rules to make sure everyone is treated fairly when giving out grant money. They're checking to see if these rules are clear and useful, and they want people to give them ideas before February 3, 2025.

  • 2021-03247 — National Service Criminal History Check
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11141
    Reading Time:about 31 minutes

    The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), known as AmeriCorps, revised its rules for the National Service Criminal History Check (NSCHC), effective May 1, 2021. The new regulations aim to simplify and clarify the process and require grant recipients to conduct checks on individuals in specific positions. The rule does not mandate using CNCS-approved vendors, although it is recommended. Also, the revised rule includes waivers for individuals under 18 and new positions starting after November 1, 2021, ensuring checks are consistent and conducted before starting work or service.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of AmeriCorps made new rules for checking if someone has a criminal past to keep everything safe and clear. They say it's a good idea to use special helpers to do these checks, but they don't make it a must, which might cause some confusion for people trying to follow the rules.
