FY2023 Teen Pregnancy Prevention Performance Measures

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), requests renewal of clearance with change (revision) for the collection of performance measures from Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program grantees, specifically those awarded between FY2023 and FY2028 across three Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs). Collection of performance measures is a requirement of all TPP awards and is included as an expectation within the TPP NOFOs. The data collection will allow OPA to comply with federal accountability and performance requirements, inform stakeholders of grantee progress in meeting TPP program goals, provide OPA with metrics for monitoring current TPP grantees, and facilitate individual grantees’ continuous quality improvement efforts within their projects. The primary change OPA requests is to update the total number of respondents, which reduced the total burden estimate. OPA revised the original clearance to update the estimated number of respondents provided in the original clearance to reflect the number of actual grantees awarded: Tier 1 respondents decreased by 12 (from 70 to 58), Tier 2 Hubs respondents decreased by 4 (from 10 to 6) and Tier 2 Rigorous Impact respondents decreased by 1 (from 16 to 15). The decrease in respondents reduced total burden by 222 hours (from 1431 hours to 1209 hours). OPA added one new item to the Tier 2 Hubs form (prototypes developed per reporting period) which is not expected to change the burden estimated for the form. OPA requests clearance for three years to allow for continuous data collection throughout the 5-year grants.

Model Employer Children's Health Insurance Program Notice

Key Information

Abstract

On February 4, 2009, President Obama signed the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA, Pub. L. 111-3). Under ERISA section 701(f)(3)(B)(i)(I), Public Health Service Act (PHS) section 2701(f)(3)(B)(i)(I), and section 9801(f)(3)(B)(i)(I) of the Internal Revenue Code, as added by Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA), an employer that maintains a group health plan in a State that provides medical assistance under a State Medicaid plan under title XIX of the Social Security Act (SSA), or child health assistance under a State child health plan under title XXI of the SSA, in the form of premium assistance for the purchase of coverage under a group health plan, is required to make certain disclosures. Specifically, the employer is required to notify each employee of potential opportunities currently available in the State in which the employee resides for premium assistance under Medicaid and CHIP for health coverage of the employee or the employee's dependents. These notices are referred to as “Employer CHIP Notices.” ERISA section 701(f)(3)(B)(i)(II) requires the Department of Labor to provide employers with model language for the Employer CHIP Notices to enable them to timely comply with this requirement, which is referred to as the “Model Employer CHIP Notice.” The model language is required to include information on how an employee may contact the State in which the employee resides for additional information regarding potential opportunities for premium assistance, including how to apply for such assistance.

National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses Non-Substantive Change (May 2026)

Key Information

Abstract

The NSSRN is collected to help fulfill the congressional mandates of the Public Health Service Act, Title 42, U.S.C. Section 294n(b)(2)(A) and Section 295k(a)-(b). These mandates ensure the development of information describing and analyzing the health care workforce and workforce-related issues. Through means of collecting, compiling, and analyzing data on healthcare professionals, this survey provides required information for decision-making regarding future directions in health professions and nursing programs in response to societal and professional needs. Such data have become particularly important to better understand workforce issues given the recent dynamic changes in the RN population and the transformation of the healthcare system. Previous improvements to the NSSRN were made based on changes in healthcare policy, best practices in survey methodology, and a section on nurse practitioners (NPs) was added. Previously, NP data were collected in a separate survey called the National Sample Survey of Nurse Practitioners (NSSNP). The updated survey, which incorporates questions from both previous surveys, retains the name “The National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses.” The intent behind combining these two surveys was to reduce redundancy in the collection of data, which results in lower costs and burden on respondents that accompanied the administration of two separate surveys. The 2022 NSSRN had some changes to content from 2018, but it did not undergo a major redesign.

Annual Business Survey

Key Information

Abstract

In an effort to improve the measurement of business dynamics in the United States, the Census Bureau is conducting the Annual Business Survey (ABS), covering reference year 2025. The ABS provides information on selected economic and demographic characteristics for businesses and business owners by sex, ethnicity, race, and veteran status. Further, the survey measures research and development, new business topics such as innovation and technology, as well as other business characteristics such as types of customers, number and types of employees, and sales and revenues. The ABS includes all nonfarm employer businesses filing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax forms as individual proprietorships, partnerships, or any other type of corporation, with receipts of $1,000 or more. The ABS is co-sponsored by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) within the U. S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and conducted by the Census Bureau. Content previously collected on the Business Enterprise Research and Development (BERD) Survey will now be collected as part of the Annual Business Survey. The BERD survey will no longer be fielded independently.

Representative and Address Provisions

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection includes the information necessary to submit a request to grant or revoke power of attorney for an application, patent, or reexamination proceeding, and for a registered practitioner to withdraw as attorney or agent of record. This also includes the information necessary to change the correspondence address for an application, patent, or reexamination proceeding, to request a Customer Number and manage the correspondence address and list of practitioners associated with a Customer Number, and to designate or change the correspondence address or fee address for one or more patents or applications by using a Customer Number. Under 35 U.S.C. 2 and 37 CFR 1.31-1.32, power of attorney may be granted to one or more joint inventors or a person who is registered to practice before the USPTO to act in an application or a patent. In particular, for an application filed before September 16, 2012, or for a patent which issued from an application filed before September 16, 2012, power of attorney may be granted by the applicant for patent (as set forth in 37 CFR 1.41(b) (pre-AIA)) or the assignee of the entire interest of the applicant. For an application filed on or after September 16, 2012, or for a patent which issued from an application filed on or after September 16, 2012, power of attorney may be granted by the applicant for patent (as set forth in 37 CFR 1.42) or the patent owner. The USPTO provides two different versions of the most forms for establishing power of attorney based upon whether the application filing date was filed before or after September 16, 2012 or was filed on or after September 16, 2012. Providing forms based upon whether the application was filed before September 16, 2012 or was filed on or after September 16, 2012 reduces applicants’ burden in having to determine the appropriate power of attorney requirements for a given application. , to thereby reduce applicants’ burden in having to determine the appropriate power of attorney requirements for a given application. 37 CFR 1.36 provides for the revocation of a power of attorney at any stage in the proceedings of a case. 37 CFR 1.36 also provides a path by which a registered patent attorney or patent agent who has been given a power of attorney may withdraw as attorney or agent of record. A Customer Number is a unique number created by the USPTO and is used instead of a physical address. The Customer Number allows a group of filings to be associated with a single correspondence mailing address. The USPTO’s Customer Number practice permits applicants, patent owners, assignees, and practitioners of record, or the representatives of record for a number of applications or patents, to change the correspondence address of a patent application or patent with one change request instead of filing separate requests for each patent or application. Any changes to the address or practitioner information associated with a Customer Number will be applied to all patents and applications associated with said Customer Number. Changes of correspondence address or power of attorney may be filed separately for each patent or application without using a Customer Number. However, a valid Customer Number provides secure access to patent information through the registered USPTO.gov account using the USPTO patent electronic filing system (Patent Center), which is available through the USPTO website. Additionally, the use of a Customer Number is also required in order to grant power of attorney to more than ten practitioners or to establish a separate “fee address” for maintenance fee purposes that is different from the correspondence address for a patent or application.

FCC Application for Assignment of Authorization or Transfer of Control: WTB and PSHS Bureaus

Key Information

Abstract

On July 18, 2022, the Commission adopted the Partition, Disaggregation and Leasing of Spectrum Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that modifies partitioning, disaggregation, and leasing rules to provide specific incentives for small carriers and Tribal Nations, and entities in rural areas, to voluntarily participate in ECIP (ECIP Report and Order in WT Docket No. 19-38, FCC 22-53). The ECIP proceeding is in response to Congressional direction in the Making Opportunities for Broadband Investment and Limiting Excessive and Needless Obstacles to Wireless Act (MOBILE NOW Act) to consider steps to increase the diversity of spectrum access and the availability of advanced telecommunications services in rural areas. The ECIP will promote greater competition in the provision of wireless services, facilitate increased availability of advanced wireless services in rural areas, facilitate new opportunities for small carriers and Tribal Nations to increase access to spectrum, and bring more advanced wireless service including 5G to underserved communities. The Commission seeks approval for revisions to its currently approved collection of information under OMB Control Number 3060-0800 to permit the collection of the additional information and changes in connection with assignments of authorizations pursuant to the rules adopted by the Commission’s ECIP Report and Order. Specifically, in the ECIP Report and Order, the Commission revised its rules to allow partition and/or disaggregation assignment applications pursuant to § 1.950. or full assignments pursuant to § 1.948, to designate a Qualifying Transaction identified in the application as seeking consideration under the ECIP. Respondents are also required to select the applicable ECIP prong to its Qualifying Transaction, pursuant to either § 1.60003 or § 1.60004. Please see the non-substantive change request justification for the reason behind this submission to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval.

Patent Petitions Related to Application and Reexamination Processing Fees

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is required by 35 U.S.C. § 131 et seq. to examine an application for patent and, when appropriate, issue a patent. The USPTO also is required to publish patent applications, with certain exceptions, promptly after the expiration of a period of eighteen months from the earliest filing date for which a benefit is sought under Title 35, United States Code. Many actions taken by the USPTO during its examination of an application for patent or for reissue of a patent, or during its reexamination of a patent, are subject to review by an appeal to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB); appeals to PTAB are covered in other OMB approved information collections (0651-0063 and 0651-0069). For other USPTO actions, review is in the form of administrative review obtained via submission of a petition to the USPTO. USPTO petitions practice also provides an opportunity for a patent applicant or owner to supply additional information that may be required in order for the USPTO to further process an application or patent. This information collection covers petitions filed in patent applications and reexamination proceedings that, when submitted to the USPTO, must be accompanied by the fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(f), (g), or (h). This information collection also covers the transmittals for the petitions fees.

Generic for ACF Program Monitoring Activities

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is for a revision to the umbrella Generic for ACF Program Monitoring Activities. The current expiration date is November 30, 2023. The overall proposed purposes, uses, and scope of the umbrella remain unchanged. The only changes are to the burden estimates, as described in sections A12 and A15. The Generic for ACF Program Monitoring Activities allows Administration for Children and Families (ACF) program offices to collect standardized information from recipients that receive Federal funds to ensure oversight, evaluation, support purposes, and stewardship of Federal funds. The information is necessary to ensure compliance with Federal and programmatic requirements, monitor progress on recipient activities, and determine and respond to recipient needs such as Training and Technical Assistance (T/TA). ACF is primarily a grant-making agency that promotes the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities with partnerships, funding, guidance, T/TA. ACF program offices have evolving monitoring needs, dependent on both internal and external factors, such as but not limited to: current grantee activities, needs; uses of federal funds; changes to aspects of programs based on statutory authority, federal regulations or policy, and/or Congressional appropriations; availability of program office funds for site visits (v. desk monitoring); matters of importance related to national health and safety needs of the public, or other events that lead to program changes. There are times when standardized collections of information would be helpful for program offices as they monitor recipient activities and needs. This generic clearance allows program offices the flexibility to create tailored information collections based on current circumstances and to receive approval for these in a timely manner. This is important to allow for ACF’s: • monitoring of compliance with federal practice, guidelines and requirements, • quick understanding of and remediation to national, regional, and/or site-specific issues, • provision of support as needed, • accurate assessment of the efficiency and efficacy of recipient activities • documentation of promising practice, innovative services, and program strengths • flexible and responsive oversight of federal funds May 2025 NonSub Change: In January 2025, the current Administration released multiple Executive Orders (EO) and memoranda requiring updates to information collections that request gender and/or gender identity, to only request “Sex” with the options Male/Female. Additionally, presidential actions focused on the removal of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-specific activities. To be responsive to the new administration, ACF is submitting change requests for a number of implicated information collections. This request is specific to updates related to a recent presidential action, as detailed in the accompanying Justification for a NonSubstantive Change Memo (May 29, 2025).

Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) Appeals

Key Information

Abstract

The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB or Board) is established by statute under 35 U.S.C. Section 6. This statute directs that PTAB "shall on written appeal of an applicant, review adverse decisions of examiners upon applications for patent and shall determine priority and patentability of invention in interferences." PTAB has the authority, under pre-AIA sections of the Patent Act, i.e. 35 U.S.C. Sections 134, 135, 306, and 315, to decide ex parte and inter partes appeals and interferences. The information in this information collection can be submitted in paper or electronically. In this renewal, the USPTO is adding the Petitions to the Chief Administrative Patent Judge Under 37 CFR 41.3 into the information collection, in addition to adjusting the responses, burden hours, and annual (non-hour) costs. The USPTO expects that businesses or other for-profits and non-profit institutions will mainly respond to this information collection, in addition to individuals or households.

Evaluation of the Trafficking Victim Assistance Program (TVAP) and Aspire: Child Trafficking Victim Assistance Program (Aspire)

Key Information

Abstract

TVAP and Aspire are funded by the Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) to provide time-limited comprehensive case management services to individuals who have experienced severe forms of human trafficking, including adults (TVAP) and children (Aspire). The programs also aim to (1) develop and maintain a nationwide network of providers to conduct human trafficking outreach and provide direct services and community referrals, and (2) establish local regional presence within each of the ACF geographic regions to coordinate project activities and direct services. TVAP has undergone several changes in the past few years, shifting to a regional administration model and separating services for minors into a separate program called Aspire. This proposed data collection will be the first evaluation of the TVAP and Aspire programs to understand its administration and implementation and its impact on thousands of individuals. In February 2026, OMB approved two types of data collection for the TVAP and Aspire process evaluation: 1. National survey of all subrecipient service providers across all 10 ACF regions. 2. Regional interviews with subrecipient service providers, non-MOU service providers, local government systems, and clients in 2-3 ACF regions. Since approved, the number of subrecipients in each region has changed, and we are concerned that we might not be able to reach our desired number of interviews with a regional approach. Additionally, attempting to conduct interviews in 2-3 regions may also put undue additional stress on regional coordinators, who were expected to assist with introductions and recruitment. Refocusing the regional interviews to the national level would spread the ask of regional coordinators to all regions and reduce pressure on 2-3 regional coordinators from select regions to recruit more people. Moreover, no evaluation question is regional in focus, and we anticipate we will learn more by maintaining a national level inquiry where we talk to the same amount of people in more places. We request to refocus the regional interviews to the national level by interviewing participants from all 10 ACF regions instead of sampling only 2-3. The number of interviews will not change and the purpose/use of the information remains consistent with the original evaluation questions and the materials that were submitted for public comment. The supporting statements, Appendix A, and Interview Instruments 1-4 have been updated to remove reference to the regional approach. The changes do not change the annual burden.

FCC Application or Notification for Spectrum Leasing Arrangement or Private Commons Arrangement: WT and PSHS Bureaus

Key Information

Abstract

FCC Form 608 is a multi-purpose form. It is used to provide notification or request approval for any spectrum leasing arrangement (“Lease”) entered into between an existing licensee in certain Wireless and/or Public Safety Radio Services and a spectrum lessee. This form also is required to notify or request approval for any spectrum subleasing arrangement (“Sublease”). The data collected on the form is used by the FCC to determine whether the public interest would be served by the Lease or Sublease. The form is also used to provide notification for any Private Commons Arrangement entered into between a licensee, lessee, or sublessee and a class of third-party users (as defined in Section 1.9080 of the Commission’s Rules). On March 15, 2024, the Commission released a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in GN Docket No. 23-65 and IB Docket No. 22-271, FCC 24-28, (Report and Order), which adopted a regulatory framework for the provision of supplemental coverage from space (SCS). This proceeding will enable collaborations between satellite service providers and terrestrial service providers to offer ubiquitous connectivity directly to consumer handsets using spectrum that was previously allocated only to terrestrial service. The Commission anticipates that SCS will enable consumers in areas not covered by terrestrial networks to be connected using their existing devices via satellite-based communications. SCS is a crucial component of the Commission’s vision for a “single network future,” in which satellite and terrestrial networks work seamlessly together to provide coverage that neither network can achieve on its own. The Report and Order adopts new part 1 rules that require spectrum lessees to provide certain information in existing FCC Form 608. Namely, under new section 1.9047, such parties must provide: (1) a certification that the parties are entering into the leasing arrangement for the purpose of fulfilling the part 25 entry criteria; (2) a description of which method, single or multiple terrestrial licensee, the parties are utilizing to meet the part 25 entry criteria; and (3) if the parties are utilizing the multiple terrestrial licensee method, the parties should: (a) describe the nature of the leasing arrangement(s); and (b) demonstrate how the entirety of the geographically independent area (GIA) is covered by the lease arrangement(s). This process utilizes the Commission’s current application approval and notification processing procedures, which will remove unnecessary delay by employing the procedures that are already in place. Entities completing FCC Form 608 for the purposes of providing SCS must notify the Commission that the application is related to SCS. To properly comply, entities will indicate that the application is for SCS by so indicating in a new checkbox on Form 608. This process utilizes an existing Commission form, which will remove confusion by employing the procedures that are already in place. Please see the non-substantive change request justification for the reason behind this change request submission to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval.

Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) National Evaluation Impact and Implementation Study

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families' (ACF) Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) requests Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information collection for an impact and implementation evaluation of Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) programming , on behalf of the SRAE National Evaluation. As part of the federal government’s ongoing efforts to support youth in making healthy decisions about their relationships and behaviors, in February 2018, Congress updated Title V, Section 510 of the Social Security Act to authorize the SRAE grant program. Administered by the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) within ACF of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), SRAE funds programs that teach adolescents to refrain from nonmarital sexual activity. The programs also provide education on personal responsibility, self-regulation, goal setting, healthy relationships, a focus on the future, and preventing drug and alcohol use. The SRAE legislation requires the conduct of one or more rigorous evaluations of the education provided by SRAE programs. The current data collection request is necessary to conduct impact and implementation evaluations that will build evidence around the effectiveness of SRAE programming.

Parts Tariff Offset Program for Motor Vehicles

Key Information

Abstract

On March 26, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10908 (90 FR 14705), “Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States,” (Proclamation 10908) finding that imports of motor vehicles and certain motor vehicle parts continue to threaten to impair the national security of the United States and imposing specified tariffs to adjust imports of motor vehicles and certain motor vehicle parts so that such imports will not threaten to impair national security pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (“Section 232”). Section 232 authorizes the President to adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives that are being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States so that such imports will not threaten to impair national security. Proclamation 10908 imposed a 25 percent tariff on certain imports of motor vehicles, effective April 3, 2025, and certain imports of motor vehicle parts, effective May 3, 2025. On April 29, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10925 (90 FR 18899), which allowed for motor vehicle manufactures assembling motor vehicles in the United States to apply for an import adjustment offset amount, which would offset certain tariff liability under Proclamation 10908 on imports of motor vehicle parts. Proclamation 10925 required that within 30 days of the date of the order the Secretary of the Department of Commerce (Commerce) shall establish a process by which motor vehicle manufacturers could submit documentation supporting eligibility and a claim for an import adjustment offset amount. A prepared notice announces procedures for administration of the import adjustment offset amount program, including application, documentation, and certification requirements, eligibility conditions, and coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). On June 13, 2025, the International Trade Administration published a Notice titled “Procedures To Administer Import Adjustment Offset Amounts for Certain Imports of Automobile Parts Under Proclamation 10908, as Amended” (90 FR 25027), which established procedures for motor vehicle manufacturers to apply for and use the import adjustment offset amount established by Presidential Proclamation 10925 of April 29, 2025 (90 FR 18899), “Amendments to Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States” (Proclamation 10925) to incentivize domestic motor vehicle production and reduce American reliance on imports of foreign motor vehicles and their parts. Proclamation 10984 of October 17, 2025, “Adjusting Imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts, and Buses Into the United States,” (Proclamation 10984) took similar action to address the threat imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (MHDV) and Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts (MHDVPs) pose to the national security of the United States; that Proclamation also amended the offset rules established by Proclamation 10925. Through this Offset Program motor vehicle manufacturers with final production in the United States have the opportunity to submit documentation to request an import adjustment offset amount for motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts. The import adjustment offset may only be used by importers of record authorized by that manufacturer, and the amount may only be used to offset tariff liability related to that manufacturer's motor vehicle parts tariff liability under Proclamation 10908 or Proclamation 10984 and any future related Proclamations. The emergency revision request for this collection is driven by Presidential directives that address urgent national security concerns, as the President has determined imports of motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts threaten U.S. national security. Timely implementation of this process is critical to addressing this threat.Emergency Justfication:The collection of information is needed to meet requirements described in Proclamations 10925 (90 FR 18899), issued by the President on April 29, 2025, and 10984, issued by the President on October 17, 2025, which allow for automobile and MHDV manufactures assembling vehicles in the United States to apply for an import adjustment offset amount, which would offset certain tariff liability under Proclamations 10908 and 10984 on imports of automobile and MHDV parts. A prepared notice announces procedures for administration of the import adjustment offset amount program, including application, documentation, and certification requirements, eligibility conditions, and coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The establishment of this notice has resulted in this emergency IC request.

Statement Regarding Marriage

Key Information

Abstract

Some State laws recognize marriages entered into without a ceremony (called common-law marriages). SSA uses Form SSA–753 to obtain third-party statements about intent and cohabitation, which are the basic tenets for determining if a relationship is a common-law marriage. SSA ultimately uses the information to determine if a valid marital relationship exists for entitlement to spouse/widow(er) benefits. The respondents are third party individuals/households. We are making non-substantive changes to make the form a fillable PDF.
