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.

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.

Abstract

The BRFSS is a coordinated system of customized surveys conducted by U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia. Respondents are adults 18 years of age and older. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) surveys are conducted in collaboration with U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia. The surveys will produce state- or sub-state jurisdiction-level data about health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, use of preventive services, and emerging health issues. CDC also creates a national level dataset that is used by HHS to evaluate its progress toward Healthy People 2020 goals and other policy needs. To ensure that BRFSS content is relevant to the current needs of BRFSS partners, CDC updates selected items in the core questionnaire and/or the optional modules on an annual basis. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted for: 1) changes in optional modules, including minor changes in wording and/or response options and adding new questions (Disability-ADHD, COVID); and 2) changes to the 2026 Calling Protocol and Dispositions. There is no change to the previously approved burden associated with the 0920-1061 collection.

This request seeks a revision and extension to NOAA information collection 0648-0202.

The removal of this regulation would remove eliminate approximately two (2) responses and 10 minutes of burden time annually.

CISA is responsible for performing coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure, which may originate outside the United States Government (USG) network/community and affect users within it or originate within the USG community and affect users outside of it. Often, therefore, the effective handling of security incidents relies on information sharing among individual users, industry, and the USG, which may be facilitated by and through CISA. A dedicated form on the CISA website will allow for external reporting of vulnerabilities that the reporting entity believes to be Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) eligible. Upon submission, CISA will evaluate the information provided, and then will add to the KEV Catalog, if all KEV requirements are met.

It also helps PBGC project premium income, improve financial projections, estimate its exposure if plans terminate, track movement of participants and assets, determine whether new plans are being created, and update its insured-plan inventory. The retained records facilitate audits.
