Abstract

International child support cases are those where the parents and/or child live in different countries, a support order was issued internationally, or assets are sought in countries other than the country enforcing the support order, among other scenarios. Because laws and procedures vary widely among international jurisdictions, international cases can be complex and difficult to process, resulting in less child support reaching the families who need it. In the U.S., we estimate that about half of one percent of the total child support caseload has an international component. On January 1, 2017, the multilateral 2007 Hague Convention on the International Recovery of Child Support and Other Forms of Family Maintenance (the Hague Child Support Convention) came into force for the U.S. The U.S. now has reciprocal relationships with 41 foreign countries under the Hague Convention, and that number is growing. Countries that are party to the Hague Child Support Convention use 16 standardized Convention case processing forms, which were designed to greatly reduce the complexity of case processing in the international context. The forms were developed by a special working group, in which the U.S. played a leadership role. Section 311(b) of the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) 2008, which has been enacted by all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, requires states to use forms mandated by federal law. (UIFSA enactment was required by Public Law (P.L.) 113-183.) Regulations under 45 CFR 303.7 also require child support programs to use federally approved forms in intergovernmental IV-D cases unless a country has provided alternative forms as a part of its chapter in a Caseworker's Guide to Processing Cases with Foreign Reciprocating Countries.

Abstract

CMS-2328-FC requires a transparent, data-driven process for states to document that Medicaid beneficiaries have access to services covered under the Medicaid State plan to the extent that services are available to the general population in a geographic area. To meet the requirements of the final rule, states must conduct access review monitoring plans that measure: the extent that enrollee needs are met, the availability of care and qualified providers, service utilization and payment rate comparisons. The reviews will be conducted every three years for: primary care, physician specialists, behavorial health, and pre and post natal obstetric services (including labor and delivery). As states reduce or restructure provider payment rates or receive significant numbers of complaints from providers and beneficiaires about access to care, additional services must be included in the review plan and monitored for at least 3 years. We are soliciting comments on the services required for ongoing access reviews and the timelines associated with review and monitoring activities. The final rule also requires states have mechanisms for obtaining beneficiary and provider feedback on access to care, such as hotlines, surveys, ombudsman or other equivalent mechanisms and institute corrective action procedures should access issues be discovered through the access review and monitoring processes. Finally, when considering reductions to Medicaid payment rates the final rule requires states to undertake a process that gathers input from stakesholds and relies upon the information analyzed through the data reveiws on the proposed reduction or restructuring of Medicaid service payment rates.

Abstract

The NFLP – Program Specific Data Form is a required electronic attachment within the NFLP application materials. The data provided in the form is essential for the formula-based criteria used to determine the award amount to the applicant schools. The form will collect application-related data from applicants such as the amount requested, number of students to be funded, tuition information, and projected unused loan fund balance. The NFLP-Annual Performance Report (APR) Financial Data Form is an online form that exists in the HRSA Electronic Handbooks (EHBs) Performance Report module. The NFLP-APR Financial Data Form collects outcome and financial data to capture the NFLP loan fund account activity related to financial receivables, disbursements, and borrower account data related to employment status, loan cancellation, loan repayment and collections. Participating schools will provide HHS with current and cumulative information on: (1) NFLP loan funds received, (2) number and amount of NFLP loans made, (3) number and amount of loans cancelled, (4) number and amount of loans in repayment, (5) loan default rate percent, (6) number of NFLP graduates employed as nurse faculty, and (7) other related loan fund costs and activities. The NFLP Due-Diligence Form is a required form to be completed and submitted electronically by NFLP award recipients. This form indicates that due diligence has been exercised in the cancellation of all or any remaining NFLP loan for NFLP borrowers in the event of permanent/total disability or death, or the write-off of all or any remaining payment of the NFLP loan as uncollectible/bad debt. The data provided on the form will verify the due diligence process the institution used for NFLP loan cancellations or uncollectible debt write-offs. Data collected on the due-diligence form is essential for HRSA to effectively monitor performance outcomes and verify the accuracy of the number and amount of NFLP loan funds cancelled and written off that is reported by NFLP award recipients during the Annual Performance Reporting period. The form will collect the student borrower’s unique ID, amount of loan funds cancelled/written off (principal plus interest), reason for cancellation/write-off, and institutional certification/due diligence process utilized.

Abstract

Section 3 of the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 (the Smokeless Tobacco Act), requires, among other things, that all smokeless tobacco product packages and advertisements bear one of four required warning statements. This information collection--the submission to FDA of warning plans for smokeless tobacco products--is statutorily mandated. Section (b)(3)(A) of 15 U.S.C. 4402 requires that the warnings be displayed on packaging and advertising for each brand of smokeless tobacco “in accordance with a plan submitted by the tobacco product manufacturer, importer, distributor, or retailer” to, and approved by, FDA. The warning plans will be reviewed by FDA to determine whether the companies' plans for the equal distribution and display of warning statements on packaging and the quarterly rotation of warning statements in advertising for each brand requires, among other things, that all smokeless tobacco product packages and advertisements bear one of four required warning statements.

Abstract

An SBA Disaster Loan borrower and any contractors, subcontractors, or agents of such borrower, who seek to engage in Disaster-Related Activities without complying with a State or Local Requirement preempted under § 123.803 may do so only where the SBA Disaster Loan borrower has provided to SBA, prior to commencement of Disaster-Related Activities, a certification by the borrower’s builder(s) that the builder has so far, and will in the future, comply with and adhere to any applicable state and local rules and regulations not preempted under § 123.803. Such non-preempted rules and regulations include, but are not limited to, building codes, health and safety requirements, inspection requirements (which may be conducted by local government inspectors or qualified, independent third-party inspectors), and any other processes required to obtain a certificate of occupancy at the completion of Disaster-Related Activities.Emergency Justfication:See attached Emergency Justification Memo. The Small Business Administration (“SBA”) requests emergency processing under 5 CFR 1320.13 for a new Information Collection Request (“ICR”). SBA seeks approval by January 28, 2026, to enable immediate collection of a document from SBA Disaster Loan borrowers that includes a certification from their builder(s). This information is essential to the mission of the SBA to ensure the timely and effective delivery of assistance under the Disaster Loan Program authorized under section 7(b) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 636(b)) (“Disaster Loan Program”) following a Presidentially declared disaster. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(1)(ii). SBA published an interim final rule on January 29, 2026. This rule preempts certain state and local requirements impacting the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of damaged or destroyed property and associated activities financed by the Disaster Loan Program when such requirements cause delay in the use of SBA Disaster Loan Program proceeds. The rule is necessary to reconcile non-federal requirements that undermine Congress’s objective of rapid housing and business recovery, public health and safety restoration, and economic stabilization after disasters. The rule creates a new information collection to allow for certification of compliance with state and local requirements. Because the rule is effective on January 29, 2026, the use of normal clearance procedures is extremely likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information required under the regulation. As a result, this information must be collected prior to the expiration of the ordinary time periods for notice and comment. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(1)(i). . . Cont'd in memo

Abstract

This is a request to transfer an approved portion of the reporting burden currently in 1845-0116 to 1845-0021. There are no changes to that already approved portion, only the increase of hours for 1845-0021 due to the transfer. This requested action removes from 1845-0116 the information collection sections of the regulations, 685.301 (c) and 685.309 (b), that require reporting William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (Direct Loan Program) borrower information to the Secretary, to the 1845-0021 ICR. By including these reporting requirements in the information collection that manages the regulatory burden for the Direct Loan Program, it will now allow for improved monitoring of any changes in the burden assessment as well as streamlining the number of information collections which the public and the Department must track. See attached for additional explanation.Emergency Justfication:The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA) made statutory changes affecting regulations that fall under this collection, 1845- William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (DL) Regulations. As a result, the Department must amend 34 CFR 685.205 to conform with the new requirements by going through the rulemaking process, including going through a negotiated rulemaking, proposed and final rulemaking process. Due to the statutory deadlines associated with OBBBA, and the government shutdown, ED was not able to pursue the standard PRA renewal process for this collection. The expiration of this collection will create both confusion and potential harm to loan borrowers and loan servicers if the collection expires. The Department requests an emergency reinstatement for six months to keep this collection current, until the RISE rule is finalized, and the collection is revised accordingly.
