Abstract

The Rapid Surveys System is a series of surveys designed to support three major goals: 1) to provide CDC and other partners with time-sensitive data of known quality about emerging and priority health concerns, 2) to use these data collections to continue NCHS’ learning and evaluation of the quality of public health estimates generated from commercial online panels, and 3) to improve methods to appropriately communicate the fitness for use of public health estimates generated from commercial online panels. representativeness and accuracy. Each survey will be informed by consultation across CDC components and other partners. This Non substantive Change Request seeks approval to the OMB data collection that was approved on 06/30/2023 (OMB Control No. 0920-1408, Exp. 06/30/2026) for Round 6 of the RSS. Round 6 will include content on stroke knowledge and awareness, produce prescription programs, human papillomavirus infection testing–self collection, and chronic wasting disease. The burden for Round 6 is based on 8,000 complete surveys (2,664 hours) and 20 cognitive interviews (20 hours) using the same survey instrument.

Abstract

Section 483 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), mandates that the Secretary of Education “…shall produce, distribute, and process free of charge common financial reporting forms as described in this subsection to be used for application and reapplication to determine the need and eligibility of a student for financial assistance...”. The determination of need and eligibility are for the following Title IV, HEA, federal student financial assistance programs: the Federal Pell Grant Program; the Campus-Based programs (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) and Federal Work-Study (FWS)); the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program; the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant; and the Children of Fallen Heroes Scholarship. Federal Student Aid (FSA), an office of the U.S. Department of Education (the Department), subsequently developed an application process to collect and process the data necessary to determine a student’s eligibility to receive Title IV, HEA program assistance. The application process involves an applicant’s submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). After submission and processing of the FAFSA form, an applicant receives a FAFSA Submission Summary, which is a summary of the processed data they submitted on the FAFSA form. The applicant reviews the summary, and, if necessary, will make corrections or updates to their submitted FAFSA data. Institutions of higher education listed by the applicant on the FAFSA form also receive a summary of processed data submitted on the FAFSA form, which is called the Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR). The specific questions that applicants are asked to answer in the application process are described separately in the Data Elements and Justification document. The document identifies the data elements associated with each FAFSA question and provides the justification for including each question on the FAFSA form. In addition to the calculation of financial need for the various Title IV programs, the FAFSA form also collects data that allows for a determination of an applicant’s eligibility for state and institutional financial aid programs. If these data elements were not collected, the Department and institutions of higher education would be unable to make a determination of financial need and subsequently would be unable to award any Title IV, HEA program assistance, as mandated by the HEA. Many states would also be greatly hindered in their calculation of state aid to applicants. This is a request for revisions of a current information collection, and important changes to the FAFSA form are described separately in the 2026-27 Summary of Enhancements document.

Abstract

OSHA conducts validity and reliability analyses of a safety and health program assessment worksheet, the Draft Revised Form 33. The studies will enable OSHA to ensure that a valid, reliable, and efficient tool is provided to On-Site Consultation programs in the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and several United States territories to replace the current OSHA Form 33, thereby, enhancing the quality of consultative services. The studies for which OSHA has requested approval comprises of a pre-test, a follow-up study, and a Prospective Analysis and OSHA is requesting additional time to complete the remaining studies. After completing the Pilot Study, OSHA will request OMB approval before implementing the DRF33 for use by state On-Site Consultation programs nationwide (to replace the current Form 33). Similarly, OSHA will seek OMB approval if any additional updates are made to the approved worksheet, following the Prospective Analysis.

Abstract

HRSA will use the information for the purpose of ensuring that providers who received over $750,000 in funding from any of the Provider Relief Program combined to 1) submit an audit per 45 CFR 75 Subpart F, 2) any documentation and attestation needed to resolve any audit findings, and 3) an attestation or documentation to prove an audit is not required. If the information is not collected, HRSA will not be in compliance with 45 CFR 75 Subpart F and will limit HRSA’s ability to monitor the Federal programs. In addition, HRSA’s ability to conduct delinquent audit follow-up on appropriate entities will be jeopardized if we cannot verify who has submitted their audit. There would be a harm to the public if this collection is not approved because HRSA would be delayed in following 45 CFR 75 Subpart F and recovering federal funds not utilized in accordance with the Provider Relief Program Terms and Conditions.

Abstract

The Rural Public Health Workforce Training Network (RPHWTN) Program Data Collection is authorized by Section 330A(f) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254c(f)). Furthermore, section 2501 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP, Pub. L. 117–2) provides funding for the Department of Health and Human Services to carry out activities related to expanding and sustaining a public health workforce, including to respond to COVID-19. The RPHWTN program, which is managed by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy at HRSA, intends to expand public health capacity by supporting health care job development, training, and placement in rural communities. This grant program intends to address the ongoing critical need for trained public health professionals in health care facilities serving rural communities by establishing networks that will develop formal training/certification programs. The long-term objective of this program is to enhance clinical and operational capacity to adequately address population health needs of rural communities negatively impacted by COVID-19, including long COVID-19. The HRSA Office of Planning, Analysis, and Evaluation will work with the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy to design and distribute surveys to RPHWTN grantees and trainees, which will serve as program data collection tools. Grantees will establish networks that support health care job development, training, and placement in rural communities. Trainees are individuals participating in the training programs made possible through the RPHTWN-supported networks established by program grantees. To accomplish RPHWTN program goals, HRSA would like to collect the following type of information from respondents: • From grantees: training content, count of trainings and attendees, specific strategies in supporting patients with long COVID-19 and behavioral health needs, and trainee retention/ completion. • From trainees: limited demographic information (age, ZIP code, race, and ethnicity), skills needed to fulfill roles in specific tracks selected, skill assessment, professional and/or educational experience, and career goals/intentions.
