This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Title: Fraud.gov Federal Program Waste, Fraud, and Abuse Tip Intake and Referral System.
OMB Control Number: 1505-NEW.
Type of Request: New collection of information.
Description: The Department of the Treasury proposes a new electronic information collection associated with Fraud.gov, a government-wide intake and referral portal for members of the public to report suspected waste, fraud, abuse, improper payments, misuse of Federal funds, and related misconduct affecting Federal programs. The collection supports Treasury's implementation of Executive Order 14249, “Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse,” and Executive Order 14395, “Establishing the Task Force To Eliminate Fraud.”
On behalf of the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, Treasury proposes to collect information necessary to receive, review, triage, categorize, de-duplicate, and refer allegations to the appropriate Federal agency, inspector general, law enforcement organization, or other authorized entity for review and potential action. The collection also supports program integrity, payment integrity, oversight, fraud prevention, and related administrative functions. The new tip intake form hosted on Fraud.gov allows respondents to provide a narrative description of their allegations, supporting documentation, contact information and related ( printed page 36654) information necessary to evaluate and route submissions. An artificial intelligence tool will process the initial entry and populate it into standardized fields, along with suggested routing recommendations, which respondents can review and edit before submitting. The tool is intended to assist with standardization and routing recommendations; respondents may review and edit populated fields before submission, and Treasury personnel will apply appropriate review and quality-control procedures before referral.
Form: Fraud.gov Tip Intake Form.
Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 80,000.
Frequency of Response: Once, On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 80,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 40,000.
Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services required to provide information.
Authority:44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
