Transportation of Household Goods; Consumer Protection

Key Information

Abstract

This is an ICR renewal. The collections in this ICR are mandatory and consists mostly of recordkeeping and disclosure, where a motor carrier provides information when a consumer requests that a mover provide an estimate and when a consumer decides to have a particular mover transport household goods. Certain information will be transferred to the consumer for the consumer to educate himself/herself of his/her rights and responsibilities in commercial transactions with the mover. FMCSA has the authority to regulate the operations of the household goods industry. Under 49 U.S.C. § 14104(a)(1), paperwork required of household goods motor carriers must be minimized to the maximum extent feasible, consistent with the protection of individual shippers. This ICR includes the information collection requirements contained in 49 CFR part 375, Transportation of Household Goods in Interstate Commerce; Consumer Protection Regulations. FMCSA will use the information provided by the shippers, when necessary, while conducting reviews, audits and investigations of carriers to determine if a carrier/mover is in compliance with the Federal requirements. If this collected information were not available, FMCSA would have no means of independently verifying compliance. The collected information will assist consumers in their commercial dealings with interstate motor carriers by enabling them to receive consumer protection materials electronically. FMCSA will use the information provided by the shippers, when necessary, while conducting reviews, audits and investigations of carriers to determine if a carrier/mover is in compliance with the Federal requirements. If this collected information were not available, FMCSA will have no means of independently verifying compliance. The frequency of the collection varies and is based on the number of moves and requests made, based on shippers needs, and is not a factor FMCSA or the carrier can control. The information is not collected more frequently than quarterly since the data is required only when services are requested by the consumer. This is to help the consumer understand each part of the commercial transaction and determine whether they are being defrauded or deceived by a mover. This supporting statement divides the burden into five collections roughly corresponding to the subsections in the HHG regulations in which the specific paperwork and record keeping requirements for HHG movers appear: • IC-1: Required Information for Prospective Individual Shippers • IC-2: Estimating Charges • IC-3: Pick Up of Shipments of Household Goods • IC-4: Transportation of Shipments • IC-5: Consumer Complaints

Drug Price Negotiation for Initial Price Applicability Year 2028 under Sections 11001 and 11002 of the Inflation Reduction Act (CMS-10849) - (IRA)

Key Information

Abstract

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is requesting review and approval of a revision to an existing data collection related to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-169) (the Act). Sections 1193 and 1194 of the Act requires drug manufacturers to submit data to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, in a form and manner specified by the Secretary; information on the non-Federal average manufacturer price; and information that the Secretary requires to carry out the negotiation or renegotiation process. The Act establishes a Drug Price Negotiation Program for certain selected drugs covered under Medicare Part B and Part D. The Secretary is required to negotiate maximum fair prices (MFPs) with drug manufacturers for 15 Part B and Part D drugs in 2028, 20 Part B and Part D drugs for 2029 and each following year. The Secretary is required to renegotiate MFPs with drug manufacturers of selected drugs that are eligible and selected for renegotiation for 2028 and each following year. Additionally, this information collection request describes the information collection that may occur if the Primary Manufacturer chooses to develop and submit a written counteroffer to CMS’ written initial offer for initial negotiation or renegotiation of the MFP, as applicable to a selected drug, during initial price applicability year 2028 under the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program (under the authority in sections 11001 and 11002 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-169), codified in sections 1191 through 1198 of the Social Security Act). Both forms will be used for negotiation and renegotiation of selected drugs for initial price applicability year 2028.

Northeast Multispecies Reporting Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for a rule-related (0648-BN23) revision and extension of the OMB Control No. 0648-0605. This revision request makes the following changes: • Removal of weekly annual catch entitlement (ACE) reporting requirements for sectors (50 CFR 648.87(b)(1)(v)(B)); • Removal of the option to increase the frequency of ACE reporting requirements for sectors when the balance of remaining ACE is low, as specified in the sector operations plan and approved by NMFS (50 CFR 648.87(b)(1)(v)(B)); • Removal of the requirement for sectors to include in their operations plan a list of all Federal and state permits held by persons participating in the sector, including an indication for each permit whether it is enrolled and will actively fish in a sector, or will be subject to the provisions of the common pool (50 CFR 648.87(b)(2)(ii)). These collections are necessary to carry out the requirements of the groundfish fishery as specified by the Northeast (NE) Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP). Removal of the above requirements is intended to reduce the administrative burden on sectors, without negatively affecting the availability of information for analyzing the impacts of sectors, monitoring against the objectives of the FMP, or evaluating current management programs and future management proposals.

Alaska Interagency Electronic Reporting System (IERS)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, requests revision of this currently approved information collection. This information collection is revised due to the associated rule (RIN 0648-BL49) that changes the time limit for recording a management program in the catcher/processor electronic logbook (eLog). NMFS proposes regulations to revise and standardize the time limit for assigning a management program to each haul for trawl catcher/processors (C/Ps) participating in the groundfish fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) management areas. This rule is necessary to improve consistency for when trawl C/Ps are required to assign a specific management program to a haul and would allow additional time for vessel operators participating in Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program and non-CDQ fisheries on the same trip to determine which management program to assign to a haul. This revision does not change the respondents, responses, burden hours, or costs for the catcher/processor eLog because the directly regulated entities already complete this logbook, and the current burden estimate allows for differences in the time and cost needed to complete and submit the logbook.

Deep Seabed Mining Regulations

Key Information

Abstract

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Ocean Service (NOS) requests extension and revision of this currently approved information collection that contains requirements under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act (DSHMRA). This collection is being revised pursuant to a proposed rule (RIN 0648-BN96) which would, if finalized, revise the DSHMRA regulations for exploration license and commercial recovery permits to add a new, alternative procedure whereby interested and qualified U.S. citizens may submit a consolidated application to concurrently apply for a license and permit under DSHMRA. Further, the information collection is being revised due to the likely future need to begin collecting permit applications, as well as annual reports related to permit compliance. This information collection is for the purpose of the receipt and maintenance of exploration licenses and commercial recovery permits required by the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act (DSHMRA) (30 U.S.C. §§ 1401-1473). NOAA’s regulations at 15 CFR Part 970 (exploration licenses) and 15 CFR Part 971 (commercial recovery permits) govern the issuance and maintenance of DSHMRA licenses and permits. The NOAA Administrator approves or denies DSHMRA licenses and permits. The NOAA Administrator has delegated to the NOS Assistant Administrator and the NOS’ Office for Coastal Management responsibility for processing DSHMRA licenses and permits for the NOAA Administrator’s consideration and decisions. License and permit applicants must submit information to ensure that the applicant meets the DSHMRA licensing and permitting standards. Licensees and permittees are required to conduct monitoring and make reports, including annual reports regarding the licensee’s or permittee’s conformance to the schedule of activities and expenditures contained in the license or permit, and may request revisions, transfers, or extensions of licenses and permits. Information required for the issuance, revision, transfer, and extension of licenses and permits ensures that the Administrator is able to make determinations on the findings set forth in 30 U.S.C. 1413(c) and 30 U.S.C. 1415(a) and the factors set forth in the DSHMRA regulations. These findings and factors include that license and permit applicants have identified areas of interest for deep seabed hard mineral exploration and production; developed plans for those activities; have the financial resources available to conduct proposed activities; and have considered the effects of the activities on the natural and human environment. This information is used to determine whether licenses and permits should be issued, revised, transferred, or extended. Exploration licenses and commercial recovery permits under DSHMRA are only for activities by U.S. citizens in waters beyond national jurisdiction. NOAA has received several applications recently and anticipates receiving additional applications. The licenses and permits are subject to annual reporting requirements and may be subject to extension requests (every five years for exploration licenses, or every twenty years for commercial recovery permits).

The Redistricting Data Program

Key Information

Abstract

The Redistricting Data Program (RDP) is one of many voluntary geographic partnership programs that collects boundaries and attributes to update the U.S. Census Bureau’s geographic database of addresses, streets, and boundaries. The Census Bureau uses its geographic database, i.e., the Master Address File/Topologically Integrated Geographic and Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) System, to link demographic data from surveys and the decennial census to locations and areas, such as cities, congressional and legislative districts, and counties. To tabulate statistics by localities, the Census Bureau must have accurate addresses, streets, boundaries, and attributes. The RDP is executed under the provisions of Title 13, Section 141(c) of the United States Code (U.S.C.). Under the provisions of Public Law 94-171, as amended (Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 141(c)), “[t]he officers or public bodies having initial responsibility for the legislative apportionment or districting of each State may, not later than 3 years before the decennial census date, submit to the Secretary a plan identifying the geographic areas for which specific tabulations of population are desired.” The Census Bureau is requesting a clearance to continue activities included in the RDP. As the current OMB Control Number 0607-0988 clearance will expire in November 2024, the new clearance will allow the Census Bureau to provide RDP-specific materials and procedures to participants during the fiscal years (FY) 2025, 2026, and 2027. These activities include the solicitation of non-partisan liaisons, the collection of Post-2020 Census Congressional and State Legislative District Plans, and the Block Boundary Suggestion Project. This non-substantive change request seeks approval for updates to respondent guides mostly changes to ensure consistency and clarity between all the guides. Sections were reorganized for consistency and clarity, then renumbered in various sections of the documents. Additional documents have been added to the package that are three Privacy Act Statements that will be added to information systems collecting the data from respondents.

Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS)

Key Information

Abstract

The Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS) provides eligible governments, which include tribal, state, and general-purpose local governments, an opportunity to review the Census Bureau’s legal boundary data to ensure the Census Bureau has the correct boundary, name, and status information and make necessary updates. BAS also allows for the review and update of census designated place (CDP) boundaries and linear features. It fulfills the agency’s responsibility as part of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, for which the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-16 designates the Census Bureau as the lead federal agency for maintaining national data about legal government boundaries, as well as statistical and administrative boundaries. It also supports the geospatial data steward responsibilities of the Geospatial Data Act, the Evidence Act, OMB E-Gov, the Federal Geographic Data Committee, Data.gov, GeoPlatform.gov, the National Map, the Geographic Names Information System, and the Geospatial One-Stop. The Census Bureau uses the boundaries collected during BAS to tabulate data for various censuses and surveys including the decennial census, American Community Survey (ACS), and Population Estimates Program (PEP). It also uses the boundaries collected through BAS to support other programs such as the Redistricting Data Program, the Economic Census, the Geographically Updated Population Certification Program, and the Special Census program. Other federal programs also rely on accurate boundaries collected through BAS. The Department of Housing and Urban Development uses boundaries to determine jurisdictional eligibility for various grant programs, such as the Community Development Block Grant program. In addition, the Department of Agriculture uses boundaries to determine eligibility for various rural housing and economic development programs.

Public Health Service Policies on Research Misconduct (42 CFR Part 93)

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) is seeking a revision of its collection instruments to reflect updates in the Public Health Service Policies on Research Misconduct (42 CFR 93) published on September 17, 2024. The purpose of the Institutional Assurance and Annual Report on Possible Research Misconduct form PHS-6349 is to provide data on the amount of research misconduct activity occurring in institutions conducting PHS-supported research. Research misconduct is defined as receipt of an allegation of research misconduct and/or the conduct of an inquiry and/or investigation into such allegations. These data enable the ORI to monitor institutional compliance with the PHS regulation. Form PHS-6349 has undergone minor revisions, but its function is unchanged. The purpose of the Assurance of Compliance by Sub-Award Recipients form PHS-6315 establishes an assurance of compliance for a sub-awardee institution. Form PHS-6315 is being discontinued because the updated regulation requires all awardees to have an assurance with ORI and does not distinguish sub-awardees. In its place, ORI developed a new form, the Research Integrity Assurance Establishment form PHS-7091. This form allows all institutions conducting PHS-supported research to establish an assurance with ORI. Additionally, ORI developed a second new form, the Institutional Record Transmittal form PHS-7092, which accounts for the varied types of information collection that can occur during the course of institutional research misconduct proceedings.

U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information for the SF-424 Form

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information form for the SF-424 is used together with the SF-424, Application for Federal Assistance. Several years ago ED made a decision to switch from the Application for Federal Education Assistance or ED 424 (1890-0017) collection (now 1894-0007) to the SF-424, in order to adhere with Federal-wide forms standardization and streamlining efforts, especially with widespread agency use of Grants.gov. There were several data elements/questions on the ED 424 that were required for applicants and were not included on the SF-424. Therefore, ED put these questions that were already cleared as part of the 1894-0007 collection on a form entitled the, U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information for the SF-424. The questions on this form deal with the following areas: Project Director identifying and contact information; New Potential Grantee or Novice Applicants; Human Subjects Research, and Infrastructure Programs and Build America, Buy America Act Applicability (BABAA). The ED supplemental information form can be used with any of the SF-424 forms in the SF-424 forms family, as applicable.

African American History & Culture and Native American Native Hawaiian – Museums - Notice of Funding Opportunities

Key Information

Abstract

IMLS is requesting the approval of the Notice of Funding Opportunities instructions for these grant programs. The goals of Museum Grants for African American History and Culture (AAHC) are to support projects that improve the operations, care of collections, and development of professional management at African American museums. The goal of Native American/Native Hawaiian Museum Services (NANH) grants is to support Indian tribes and organizations that primarily serve and represent Native Hawaiians. They are intended to provide opportunities to sustain heritage, culture, and knowledge through strengthened activities in areas such as exhibitions, educational services and programming, professional development, and collections stewardship. This action is to renew the forms and instructions for the Notice of Funding Opportunities for the next three years. In this clearance submission (3137-0095) and justification, IMLS is requesting approval of non-substantive changes to a previously approved clearance for the FY2026 NOFOs for Museum Grants for African American History and Culture and Native American/Native Hawaiian Museum Services Program, two discretionary grant programs that supports the Nation’s museums. The current OMB approval expiration date is 8/31/2027.
