Abstract

On April 18, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order (E.O.) 14273, “Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First.” Section 5 of the E.O., “Appropriately Accounting for Acquisition Costs of Drugs in Medicare,” directs the Secretary of HHS to publish in the Federal Register a plan to conduct a survey under section 1833(t)(14)(D)(ii) of the Act so he can determine the hospital acquisition cost for covered outpatient drugs at hospital outpatient departments. This survey corresponds to this executive order. The acquisition cost data hospitals submit in response to this survey will be considered when formulating proposed payment rates for drug payment under the Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS). The respondents of the survey will be the approximately 3,500 hospitals that are paid under the OPPS.

Abstract

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is requesting approval of this revision application for three years (36 months). This application aims to obtain approvals for the revised Data Submission Agreement (DSA) and Data Use Certification (DUC) information collection documents, which collect information about researchers submitting data and requesting access to shared data in the NIMH Data Archive (NDA). The NDA is an infrastructure for sharing human subjects research data and tools to further collaboration and scientific discovery. While the NDA is a single system, it is comprised of several research domains each with their own associated permission group. The information collected in the DSA and DUC is needed to provide appropriate permissions to either submit or access data, monitor the expiration of these permissions, track and report on permissions and requests, ensure that the terms of submission/access are followed, and provide appropriate attribution for data contributions, and communicate important information about the NDA.

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is for data collection under the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Generic Program-Specific Performance Progress Report (PPR) (0970-0490). This overarching generic has allowed ACF program offices to collect performance and progress data from recipients who receive funding from ACF under a discretionary award. This information is required under 45 CFR 75.342, monitoring and reporting program performance; 45 CFR 75.301, performance measurement; and the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub.L. 111-352, Sec 12). 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.

Abstract

Section 732 of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act, Pub L. No. 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010)) amended section 4d of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) to require each futures commission merchant (“FCM”) and introducing broker (“IB”) to implement conflicts of interest systems and procedures that: (1) establish structural and institutional safeguards reasonably designed to ensure that any persons within the firm researching or analyzing the price or market for any commodity are separated by appropriate informational partitions within the firm from the review, pressure or oversight of persons whose involvement in trading or clearing activities might potentially bias their judgment or supervision, and (2) address other issues that the Commission determines to be appropriate. Pursuant to section 4d(c) of the CEA, the Commission adopted regulation 1.71. The regulation generally requires FCMs and IBs to: (1) develop conflicts of interest systems, procedures and disclosures; (2) adopt and implement written policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with its conflicts of interest and disclosure obligations; and (3) maintain specified records related to those requirements. “Small introducing brokers,” as defined within the regulation, are subject to modified requirements, but are obligated to adopt certain policies and procedures and to provide specified disclosures. The regulation does not require reporting to the Commission. The recordkeeping obligations imposed by the regulation are essential to ensuring that FCMs and IBs develop and maintain the conflicts of interest systems, procedures, and disclosures required by the CEA and Commission regulations and to the effective evaluation of such registrants’ actual compliance with the CEA and Commission regulations

Abstract

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is seeking to extend the information collections currently approved under OMB Control No. 0648-0016. The NMFS Southeast Region manages commercial and recreational fisheries in Federal waters of the Gulf of America (Gulf), South Atlantic, and Caribbean under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq., through regulations implemented at 50 CFR part 622. Participants in most of these federally managed fisheries are required to keep and submit logbooks of their fishing effort and catch from their fishing trips. Some fishermen on these vessels also provide information on the species and quantities of fish, shellfish, marine turtles, and marine mammals that are caught and discarded or have interacted with the fishing gear. These fishermen may also provide information about dockside prices, trip operating costs, and annual fixed costs. NOAA is currently drafting revised regulations to comply with a court order from the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which effectively invalidated previous regulations implemented by NMFS. That rule is not yet available or effective during this time and therefore, this collection still reflects those requirements. In the future, a request for a revision will be submitted to comply with the approved court order.

Abstract

The Department administers two formula grant programs under Title V, Part B (Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP)) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA): the Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) program, administered by the Department, which makes awards directly to local educational agencies (LEAs); and the Rural and Low-Income School (RLIS) program, awarded by the Department to State Educational Agencies (SEAs), which then make awards to and administer the program for LEAs. The Department may also make RLIS awards directly to LEAs in States that do not submit an approvable RLIS application to the Department. These LEAs that apply directly to the Department for RLIS funding are known as Specially Qualified Agencies (SQAs). The information provided to the Department enables the Department to make eligibility determinations for LEAs and to calculate formula allocations for each eligible LEA. Form 1 consists of the REAP Eligibility Spreadsheet through which SEAs provide to the Department eligibility and allocation data for both the RLIS and SRSA programs. Form 2 consists of the application package for LEAs under the SRSA program. Form 3 consists of the application package for SQAs under the RLIS program. This is a request for extension of the current information collection package (OMB #1810-0646), updated for the future fiscal years in which the collection would apply.

Abstract

In the 2026 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we propose amendments to the HPT regulations to enhance clarity and standardization in hospital pricing disclosures. Specifically, we propose revisions to § 180.20 to remove the definition for "estimated allowed amount" and add definitions for "median allowed amount", “tenth percentile allowed amount”, and "ninetieth percentile allowed amount", to help ensure greater precision in cost sharing calculations. Furthermore, we propose revisions to § 180.50 to require hospitals, beginning January 1, 2026, to disclose the median, tenth and ninetieth percentile allowed amounts in MRFs when standard charges are based on percentages or algorithms, as well as the count of allowed amounts. We also propose that hospitals should use EDI 835 transaction remittance data to calculate and encode these values, and we propose specific instructions to hospitals with regard to the methodology, including lookback period, that should be used to calculate the median, tenth and ninetieth percentile allowed amounts. We propose revisions to § 180.50(a)(3) to replace the affirmation statement in the MRF with an attestation statement that would also contain new specifications (relative to existing affirmation requirements) and to require hospitals to encode the name of the chief executive officer, president or senior official designated to oversee the encoding of true, accurate and complete data in the MRF. Additionally, we propose adding a standard identifier, specifically the National Provider Identifier (NPI) to the MRFs.

Abstract

The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) mandates that rural residents of Alaska receive priority for subsistence uses of fish and wildlife. In 1989, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled that ANILCA's rural priority violated the Alaska Constitution. As a result, the Federal Government manages subsistence uses on Federal public lands and waters in Alaska--about 230 million acres or 60 percent of the land within the State. Title VIII of ANILCA (16 U.S.C. 3111-3126) designates the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture as the key agencies responsible for implementing the subsistence priority on Federal public lands. To help carry out subsistence management responsibilities, the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture established the Federal Subsistence Management Program. Regulations implementing the Federal Subsistence Management Program on Federal public lands within Alaska are in the Code of Federal Regulations (50 CFR 100 and 36 CFR 242). The Federal Subsistence Management Program is a multi-agency effort to provide the opportunity for a subsistence way of life by rural Alaskans on Federal public lands and waters while maintaining healthy populations of fish and wildlife. Subsistence fishing and hunting provide a large share of the food consumed in rural Alaska. The State's rural residents harvest about 22,000 tons of wild foods each year--an average of 375 pounds per person. Fish make up about 60 percent of this harvest Statewide.Emergency Justfication:Please see attached "Justification for Emergency Clearance" uploaded as a supplemental document.

Abstract

The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) includes 8,984 respondents who were born in the years 1980 through 1984 and lived in the United States when the survey began in 1997. The primary objective of the survey is to study the transition from full-time schooling to the establishment of careers and families. The longitudinal focus of the survey requires information to be collected about the same individuals over many years in order to trace their education, training, work experience, fertility, income, and program participation. One of the goals of the Department of Labor is to produce and disseminate timely, accurate, and relevant information about the U.S. labor force. BLS contributes to this goal by gathering information about the labor force and labor market and disseminating it to policymakers and the public so that participants in those markets can make more informed, and thus more efficient, choices. Research based on the NLSY97 contributes to the formation of national policy in the areas of education, training, employment programs, and school-to-work transitions.
