Abstract

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Health Systems Bureau, Division of Transplantation (DoT) administers the Hospital Campaign for Organ Donation under the authority of Section 377A(a) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. As part of its responsibility to conduct public education and outreach to increase the number of registered organ donors, HRSA launched the Workplace Partnership for Life Hospital Campaign in 2011, with a challenge to hospitals nationwide to conduct donor education and donor registry enrollment events in their facilities and communities. The purpose of the ‘DoNation’ General Workplace Campaign is to encourage other non-medical U.S. companies to conduct activities to increase organ donor registration. These workplaces’ support of organ donation is vital to HRSA’s efforts to increase donor registrations, as expanding the program outside of medical settings will broaden the pool of potential registered organ, eye, and tissue donors. The overall purpose of collecting this information is to incentivize and reward company, workplace, and Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) participation in the campaign, and to enable HRSA to obtain outcome data. Because participating in this campaign is voluntary, it is essential for HRSA to implement a methodology to engage workplaces, make participation as easy as possible, and recognize workplaces for their efforts and accomplishments. HRSA, together with its donation community partners, developed the Activity Scorecard for the Hospital Campaign that provides suggested outreach activities for hospitals to implement and a way to gather points for achieving recognition. The ‘DoNation’ General Workplace Campaign Activity Scorecard will motivate workplaces in a similar fashion. Without the Activity Scorecard, HRSA would not be able to recognize workplaces for their extra efforts in planning donor registration activities and registering new organ, eye, and tissue donors.

Abstract

Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5041(c), importers and domestic producers may take certain tax credits on specified quantities of wine, including hard cider, imported or removed from their premises during a calendar year. In addition, under that IRC section, domestic producers may transfer their wine tax credits to other bonded premises that store their wine and ship it on their instructions, provided that the producer supplies such transferees with the information necessary to properly determine the transferee’s allowable tax credits. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 24 require wine producers to provide such transferees with a written record containing certain information regarding the producer, transferee, the wine, its tax rate, its removal, and the tax credits involved. The required information may be supplied and maintained using usual and customary business records such as shipping invoices. The required information is necessary to ensure that the IRC provisions regarding wine producer tax credits and their transfer are properly applied.

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 6161 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary) to grant taxpayers up to 6 months of additional time to pay taxes due on any return required under the IRC. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 6159 authorizes the Secretary to enter into a written agreement with a taxpayer to allow installment payments of taxes due “if the Secretary determines that such an agreement will facilitate full or partial payment of such liability.” Under those IRC authorities, TTB has issued two taxpayer relief application forms, TTB F 5600.38 for time extension requests, and TTB F 5600.31 for installment payment agreement requests. Using the relevant form and any required supporting documentation, an excise taxpayer regulated by TTB identifies themselves, the specific excise tax and amount in question, their current financial situation, and the reasons why the requested taxpayer relief is necessary. TTB evaluates the provided information, records its decision to approve or disapprove the requested taxpayer relief on the submitted form, and notifies the applicant of its decision by returning a copy of the form.

Abstract

Various provisions of chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC; 26 U.S.C. chapter 51) govern aspects of the production, treatment, and labeling of natural and agricultural wine or authorize the Secretary of Treasury to issue regulations regarding such matters. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 24 require wine premise proprietors to submit letterhead applications or notices to TTB when they desire to use alternate regulatory compliance methods or procedures or when they desire to undertake certain specified operations, particularly those that affect the kind, tax rate, or volume of wine produced or removed. In general, operations posing a greater jeopardy to the revenue require submission of letterhead applications subject to TTB approval, while operations posing less jeopardy to the revenue require submission of letterhead notices that do not require TTB pre-approval. This information collection is necessary to ensure that proposed alternative methods or procedures and wine operations comply with relevant laws and regulations, and do not jeopardize the revenue or unduly burden TTB’s administration of 27 CFR part 24.

Abstract

This is a request for a new information collection for a third-party authorization form to be used by federal student loan borrowers to designate or revoke a designation of an individual or organization to represent the borrower in matters related to their federally held student loans. The Department has revised the initially proposed form. This revised form will continue to standardize the way that borrowers provide privacy act releases and authorization for a third party to take action on borrowers’ federal student loan accounts held by various servicers. This will standardize processes and help borrowers and their third-party representatives when loans transfer between servicers. This information collection stems from the Privacy Act of 1974 and the common law legal principles of agency, which is not reflected in the Department’s statute or regulations, but with which the Department must comply or which the Department supports.

Abstract

Generally, under the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS), Medicare payment to the hospital varies based on hospital-specific and patient-specific characteristics. Each Medicare claim for inpatient services is classified into the applicable Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Group (MS-DRG) for payment based on certain patient-specific elements, including the principal diagnosis, additional or secondary diagnoses, and procedures reported on the claim. The MS– DRG classification system currently has 337 base DRGs, most of which are split into 2 or 3 MS– DRGs based on the presence of either a complication or comorbidity (CC) or major complication or comorbidity (MCC), resulting in a total of 767 MS-DRGs for FY 2021. Effective October 1, 2015, providers use the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD–10–CM) diagnosis code set in all healthcare settings and the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD–10– PCS) is the code set used for inpatient hospital procedure coding. These diagnosis and procedure codes are mapped or “grouped” to specific MS-DRGs for payment under the IPPS using the ICD-10 MS-DRG Grouper software. The public may submit requests to create a new MS-DRG(s), modify an existing MS-DRG(s), change the severity level designation for a diagnosis code(s), change the operating room (O.R.) designation of a procedure code(s), reassign diagnosis and/or procedure codes among Major Diagnostic Categories (MDCs), modify the Medicare Code Editor (MCE), or modify the surgical hierarchy. We examine these requests using statistical analysis and the judgment of our clinical advisors to evaluate the requested changes and consider any proposed updates to the MS-DRGs. Interested parties can include any information they choose to support a MS-DRG change request.

Abstract

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and the National Credit Union Administration (together, the "agencies"), under the auspices of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC"), have accelerated efforts to assess and enhance the state of the financial industry's cyber preparedness, and to close gaps in the agencies' examination procedures and training that can strengthen the oversight of financial industry cybersecurity readiness. The agencies also have focused on improving their abilities to provide financial institutions with resources that can assist in protecting institutions and their customers from the growing risk posed by cyber attacks. As part of these increased efforts, the agencies developed a Cybersecurity Assessment Tool ("Assessment") that assists financial institutions of all sizes in assessing their inherent cybersecurity risk and their risk management capabilities. The Assessment allows a financial institution to identify its inherent cyber risk profile based on the financial institution's technologies and connection types, delivery channels, online/mobile products and technology services it offers, organizational characteristics, and threats it is likely to face. Once an institution identifies its inherent risk, it can evaluate its level of cybersecurity preparedness based on the institution's cyber risk management and oversight, threat intelligence capabilities, cybersecurity controls, external dependency management, and cyber incident management and resiliency planning using the Assessment's maturity matrix. A financial institution can use the maturity levels to identify opportunities for improving the institution's cybersecurity, based on its inherent risk profile. The Assessment also enables financial institutions to identify areas more rapidly that could improve their cybersecurity risk management and response programs, if needed.
