Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Performance Measures

Key Information

Abstract

The goal of the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) performance measures is to collect performance measures data from SRAE grant recipients on program structure, cost, and support for implementation, including how programs addressed the A–F topics; attendance, reach, and dosage; and program participants’ characteristics, sexual and other risk behaviors prior to program participation, and outcomes at program exit. The performance measures have and will continue to allow both the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) program office and grant recipients to monitor and report on progress in implementing SRAE programs and informs technical assistance. ACF is requesting approval for a temporary extension of the existing performance measures (through June 2026), followed by transition to revised measures (from July 2026 onward). The revised measures are designed to (1) address feedback from grant recipients to simplify and clarify participant surveys, (2) align race and ethnicity measures with current OMB guidance, and (3) ensure the measures meet FYSB data needs by removing items related to COVID-19 and others not widely utilized and replacing them with other measures of interest. The proposed changes shorten the data collection instruments and will reduce respondent burden. We expect a 61 percent reduction in the annual burden hours under this request compared to the previously approved annual burden. Current and revised versions of Instruments 1 through 4 are included in this submission. We are also renaming the ICR to Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Performance Measures.

Community Wildfire Defense Grant Program

Key Information

Abstract

The Community Wildfire Defense Grant Program forms will be used by applicants to apply for the Community Wildfire Defense Grant (CWDG) Program. The purpose of the CWDG Program is to assist at-risk local communities and Indian Tribes with planning and mitigating against the risk created by wildfire. This program is authorized in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P.L. 117-58), commonly referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). Specifically, the CWDG Program is provided for in Title VIII, Section 40803. There are two primary project types for which the grant provides funding: the development and revision of Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) and the implementation of projects described in a CWPP that is less than ten years old. The Act prioritizes at-risk communities that are in an area identified as having high or very high wildfire hazard potential, are low-income, and/or have been impacted by a severe disaster.

Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS-E2) (CMS-10545)

Key Information

Abstract

Abstract (2000 characters maximum) This request is for OMB PRA approval of a version update of the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS). The updated version of the OASIS item set is titled OASIS –E2 . OASIS is a core standard assessment data set that Home Health Agencies (HHAs) integrate into their own patient-specific, comprehensive assessment to identify each patient’s need for home care that meets the patient’s medical, nursing, rehabilitative, social, and discharge planning needs. Since 1999, the Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoPs) have mandated that HHAs use the OASIS data set when evaluating adult, non-maternity patients receiving skilled services. OASIS data are used for both home health quality measurement and payment adjustment. OASIS-E2 is scheduled for implementation on April 1, 2026, to comply with changes noted in the CY2025 HH Final Rule. The changes for OASIS-E2 include the removal of the A1250 Transportation item which will be replaced by the revised A1255 Transportation item align with an item collected in other CMS programs. Subregulatory changes include CMS adding the B1000 Hearing, B0200 Vision, and A1110 Language items to the resumption of care (ROC) timepoint.A0810 Sex will replace the M0069 Gender item. Lastly, CMS will remove the O0350 Patient's COVID-19 vaccination is up to date item.

Highly Migratory Species Dealer Reporting Family of Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for a revision and extension of an existing information collection, HMS Dealer Family of Forms (0648-0040). This information collection covers reports from seafood dealers regarding purchases, sales, imports, exports, or re-exports of Atlantic highly migratory species (HMS), including federally managed bigeye, albacore, yellowfin, and skipjack (BAYS) tunas, bluefin tuna (BFT), sharks, and swordfish (SWO). Domestic catch/landing data are necessary to effectively manage domestic fisheries. This information, consistent with the stated purpose of Executive Order (E.O.) 14276 of ensuring the integrity of the seafood supply chain, is used to monitor quotas, estimate fishing mortality, and identify the geographic and temporal distribution of fish and fisheries. The International Commission requires international trade-tracking programs for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). As part of this revision, the process for collecting email addresses from new HMS dealers has been updated. Previously, new HMS dealers were asked to submit their email addresses via email or phone. However, it is now a standard part of the annual dealer permit application process to collect email addresses. Consequently, there is no longer a need for new HMS dealers to provide their emails separately. Therefore, the burden estimates associated with collecting email addresses are no longer applicable for this ICR. The overall goal of these trade-tracking programs is to reduce illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing for the covered species and improve the management of associated fisheries. This goal aligns with the policies outlined in Executive Orders (E.O.) 14276, which seeks to combat IUU fishing and protect U.S. seafood markets from unfair trade practices, and E.O. 14303, which ensures that federal decisions are based on the most credible, reliable, and impartial data available.

Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans Executive Order Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

On August 7, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued the Executive Order entitled: “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans” (the “Fair Banking Executive Order”) instructing the SBA, along with there-defined federal banking regulators, to end the practice of politicized or unlawful debanking – the practice where banks and financial services providers, both independently and at the direction of federal regulators, freeze or close accounts, deny loans, and refuse services to politically disfavored people and businesses. The Fair Banking Executive Order imposes an obligation on the SBA to require financial institutions subject to SBA’s jurisdiction and supervision to identify and remedy instances of politicized or unlawful debanking. The SBA consequently must collect related information to ensure its compliance with the Fair Banking Executive Order. Respondents shall provide SBA with a detailed report addressing and evidencing compliance with the requirements listed on the information collection. Lending institutions with under $30 billion in assets that are supervised by a federal banking regulator may comply with this reporting requirement via the template provided on September 30, 2025.

Abstract

This generic clearance for the new collection of certain information in immigration forms, which impacts nine information collections, was initiated to comply with E.O. 14161, Protecting the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats, Section 2, which directs implementation of uniform vetting standards and necessitates the collection of all information necessary for a rigorous vetting and screening of all grounds of inadmissibility or bases for the denial of immigration-related benefits. See 90 FR 8451 (Jan. 20, 2025). Execution of the E.O. requires USCIS to collect standard data on immigration forms and/or systems to enable DHS to assess an alien’s eligibility to travel to or be admitted to the United States or to receive an immigration-related benefit from USCIS. The standard data to be collected from certain populations of individuals on applications for immigration-related benefits is necessary for the enhanced identity verification, vetting standards, and national security screening and inspection conducted by USCIS and required under the E.O. This data collection also is used to validate an applicant’s identity and to help determine whether such grant of a benefit poses a security or public-safety threat to the United States. There were 24 data elements identified that would constitute a new baseline threshold of data to be collected for identity verification and national security vetting. USCIS is conducting the generic clearance to obtain OMB approval of the 24 new data elements to be included on the nine impacted forms, where the information is not already collected. The impacted USCIS Forms include: N-400, I-131, I-192, I-485, I-589, I-590, I-730, I-751, and I-829.

Gold Visa Application

Key Information

Abstract

The DS-260G information collection will be used to collect the information necessary for a proper application for an immigrant visa in accordance with the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq., which mandates the application and eligibility requirements for aliens seeking to obtain an immigrant visa and alien registration in the United States. INA section 221(a), 8 U.S.C. § 1201(a), provides that a consular officer may issue an immigrant visa to an alien who has made a proper application.Emergency Justfication:The Department of State (“the Department”) requests immediate emergency approval for a new Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration for “Gold Visa” applicants -the “Gold Visa Application” (DS-260G). On September 19, 2025, President Trump signed EO 14351 announcing the Gold Card visa program. The EO directs the Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security, to establish the “Gold Card” program authorizing an alien who makes a gift to the Department of Commerce under 15 U.S.C. 1522 (or for whom a corporation or similar entity makes such a gift) to establish eligibility for an immigrant visa using an expedited process. The EO states that in adjudicating visa applications, the Secretary of State shall, consistent with applicable law, treat this gift as evidence of eligibility as either an EB-1 alien under INA 203(b)(1)(A), 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(1)(A), of exceptional business ability or an EB-2 alien of national benefit under INA section 203(b)(2)(A), 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(2)(A), and of eligibility for a national-interest waiver under INA section 203(b)(2)(B), 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(2)(B). The Department, the Department of Commerce (Commerce), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have determined a proper application for a Gold Visa shall require a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)-approved I-140G, Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program, and that the alien provide detailed background information for national security vetting purposes in accordance with EO 14161. The Department will use the DS-260G to ensure aliens applying for a Gold Card meet eligibility requirements for an EB-1 or EB-2 immigrant visa. This new form is based upon the currently approved Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, DS-260. However, a new information collection is necessary as the DS-260 does not have the technical capability to process Gold Card applicants, who are required to provide a substantial donation to the U.S. Government of $1 million to $2 million in accordance with EO 14351. EO 14351 requires the Department, Commerce, and DHS to take all necessary and appropriate steps to implement the Gold Card program within 90 days of the order. Utilizing the normal clearance procedures for this collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) would prevent the Department from complying with the EO’s December 18, 2025, deadline. The Department concludes it is necessary to seek emergency review and approval for this information collection in accordance with 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13 and certifies that the requirements of 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13(a) are met because: • The DS-260G is needed prior to the expiration of time periods established under the PRA and its implementing regulations; • The DS-260G is essential to the mission of the Department; and • An unanticipated event has occurred. The unanticipated, adverse event began on October 1, 2025, and continued until November 13, 2025; specifically, the most recent federal government shutdown. Across the nation, this shutdown placed 650,000 federal workers on furlough, while 600,000 more were working without pay. The Federal government shutdown impacted essential partners, including colleagues at DHS, Commerce, and the Office of Management and Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Because of the shutdown, personnel and resources were not available to undertake the PRA’s ordinary public process. The Department completed all feasible measures during the shutdown, but it was not possible to move forward with the process until furloughed colleagues resumed their critical roles in this collaborative federal effort. Therefore, the Department requests OMB formal emergency review and approval of this information collection under 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13.

Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program

Key Information

Abstract

A petitioner may file Form I-140G to request an employment-based immigrant visa under the Gold Card program established by Executive Order 14351, The Gold Card (Sep. 19, 2025). This data collection will be used to assess an alien’s eligibility for an available employment-based immigrant visa. The gift donation confers eligibility for either the first employment-based preference (EB-1) alien of extraordinary ability under section 203(b)(1)(A) of the Immigrant and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(1)(A); or, the second preference (EB-2) alien of exceptional ability under INA section 203(b)(2)(A), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(2)(A) with a national interest waiver under INA section 203(b)(2)(B), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(2)(B).Emergency Justfication:This emergency action is necessary to meet the Executive Order 14351 implementation date, within 90 days of September 19, 2025, specifically by December 18, 2025. Emergency approval of Form I-140G enables immediate collection of the standardized set of data necessary to properly assess eligibility, which also protects operational efficiency, national security, and financial integrity. Without an approved form and instructions to collect a standardized set of data, DHS and USCIS cannot intake, accept, receipt, or adjudicate an alien’s eligibility for an available employment-based first-preference or second-preference immigrant visa. In short, all the mechanisms are in place to immediately meet the current demand for the Gold Card, which could generate substantial revenue aimed at boosting commerce, and supporting American industries. Section 103(a)(3) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. § 1103(a)(3), authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to issue forms, instructions, and guidance necessary to carry out the authority provided in section 103(a)(1) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. § 1103(a)(1). If DHS were to adhere to the standard information collection clearance procedures, the Secretary of Homeland Security would be unable to implement the Gold Card Program within 90 days of September 19, 2025, specifically by December 18, 2025. Therefore, to bring this information collection into compliance with administration priorities and to meet the Executive Order 14351 implementation date, USCIS cannot comply with the normal clearance procedures under the PRA. Absent the collection of this critical information, public harm is reasonably likely to result. See 5 CFR 1320.13(a).

Runaway and Homeless Youth Homeless Management Information System (RHY-HMIS)

Key Information

Abstract

The Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) program serves as the national leader for the provision of shelter and supportive services to youth experiencing homelessness. The RHY program administers grants to public and private organizations to establish and operate youth emergency shelters and transitional living programs. These grant recipients are located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. The Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA), as reauthorized by the Reconnecting Homeless Youth Act of 2008 (P.L.110-378 ) through FY 2013 and more recently reauthorized by the Juvenile Justice Reform Act through FY 2019, mandates that Runaway and Homeless Youth programs provide statistical records profiling the youth and family members whom it serves and also mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report regularly to Congress on the status of RHY-funded programs serving runaway and homeless youth. Further, these requirements include maintenance of client statistical records and submission of annual program reports regarding the characteristics of the youth and families served and the services provided to them. The October 2008 reauthorization of the Act and the reauthorization through FY 2019, maintained the longstanding requirements, as described in the legislation. This information collection request is for the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) to continue to collect the data standards to meet these legislative requirements. All RHY funded organizations are required to collect and submit their statistical information/data through a larger system of data standards housed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). FYSB’s data standards within that system are referred to as the Runaway and Homeless Youth Homeless Management Information System (RHY-HMIS). RHY grant recipients are required to enter their RHY-HMIS data through their local HUD’s Continuums of Care (CoC) HMIS. Quarterly to meet the legislative requirements, RHY grant recipients work with their HMIS Leads to extract their data for uploading to FYSB. See sections A3 and A4 for more information about the partnership with HUD and its HMIS. ACF has implemented changes to remove sexual orientation from the RHY data standards in current approved information collection requests to comply with the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO).
