Registration for Classification as a Refugee

Key Information

Abstract

The Form I-590 is the primary document in all refugee case files and becomes part of the applicant's A-file. It is the application form by which a person seeks refugee classification and resettlement in the United States. It documents an applicant's legal testimony (under oath) as to his or her identity and claim to refugee status, as well as other pertinent information including marital status, number of children, military service, organizational memberships, and violations of law. In addition to being the application form submitted by a person seeking refugee classification, Form I-590 is used to document that an applicant was interviewed by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and record the decision by the USCIS Officer to approve or deny the applicant for classification as a refugee. Regardless of age, each person included in the case must have his or her own Form I-590. Refugees applying to CBP for admission must have a stamped I-590 in their travel packet in order to gain admission as a refugee. They do not have refugee status until they are admitted by CBP.

United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return

Key Information

Abstract

Form 709 is used by individuals to report transfers subject to the gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes and to compute these taxes. The IRS uses the information to collect and enforce these taxes, to verify that the taxes are properly computed, and to compute the tax base for the estate tax. Form 709-NA is used to report certain transfers by a nonresident not a citizen of the United States that are subject to the federal gift tax and certain generation-skipping transfer (GST) taxes and to figure the tax due, if any, on those transfers. The Form 709-NA is also used to allocate the lifetime GST exemption to property transferred during a transferor’s lifetime.

National Youth Tobacco Surveys 2024 2026

Key Information

Abstract

The goal of the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) is to collect tobacco use behavioral data among 6th through 12th grade students in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The purpose of the survey is to assess use of tobacco products and the associated correlates. For this revision, the content of the 2024 instrument remains largely consistent with the past NYTS surveys. The overall burden is somewhat higher than the previous cycle due to the increased sample size allowing for more precision of race estimates.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2026 Amendment 2

Key Information

Abstract

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in various subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, U.S. history, and civics. The National Assessment of Educational Progress Authorization Act (Pub. L. 107–279, title III, section 303) requires the assessment to collect data on specified student groups and characteristics, including information organized by race/ethnicity, sex, socio-economic status, disability, and limited English proficiency. It requires fair and accurate presentation of achievement data and permits the collection of background, noncognitive, or descriptive information that is related to academic achievement and aids in fair reporting of results. The intent of the law is to provide representative sample data on student achievement for the nation, the states, and subpopulations of students and to monitor progress over time. NAEP consists of two assessment programs: the NAEP long-term trend (LTT) assessment and the main NAEP assessment. The LTT assessments are given at the national level only and are administered to students at ages 9, 13, and 17 in a manner that is very different from that used for the main NAEP assessments. LTT reports mathematics and reading results that present trend data since the 1970s. In addition to the operational assessments, NAEP uses two other kinds of assessment activities: pilot assessments and special studies. Pilot assessments test items and procedures for future administrations of NAEP, while special studies (e.g., the Middle School Transcript Study (MSTS), and the High School Transcript Study (HSTS)) are opportunities for NAEP to investigate particular aspects of the assessment without impacting the reporting of the NAEP results.  This request is a second Amendment to the initially approved NAEP 2026 Clearance Package (OMB# 1850-0928 v.36) to conduct NAEP in 2026, specifically: (1) Main NAEP operational assessments will include for grades 4 and 8 (first administration of the new frameworks for reading and mathematics), grade 8 (civics and U.S. history); in Puerto Rico, grades 4 and 8 mathematics will be the only subject assessed and will include the new framework; (2) Pilot testing in grades 4, 8, and 12 (reading and mathematics); in Puerto Rico, grades 4 and 8 mathematics will be the only subject assessed. All documents in this package are the finalized materials to be used for the data collection in early 2026. Specifically, this Amendment includes the following updates: 1. Appendix D: updates to the eNAEP Download Center and the preassessment guides, 2. Appendices J1, J2, J3, J-S: editorial updates to several survey questionnaire items, 3. Appendix C: the sampling memo, and 4. Appendix I: all finalized AMS screens that will be accessed and used by school staff for the NAEP assessment. As of April 2025, NCES’s assurances of confidentiality protections for NAEP 2026 have changed due to recent staffing changes at the Department of Education. NCES has removed the Foundations of Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018, Title III, Part B, Confidential Information Protection (‘‘CIPSEA’’) as a confidentiality assurance. However, confidentiality assurances under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA) remain in effect.

Assessment of the Underage Drinking Prevention Initiative

Key Information

Abstract

To help address the problem of underage drinking (UAD) and its consequences, SAMHSA sponsors nationwide Communities Talk activities approximately every 2 years. These activities are intended to work at the grassroots level to raise awareness of the public health dangers of UAD and to engage communities in evidence-based prevention. Notably, Communities Talk activities provide a forum for communities to discuss ways they can best prevent UAD by reducing the availability of alcohol and by creating community norms that discourage demand. The information is collected to document the implementation efforts of this nationwide initiative, determine if the federally sponsored activities lead to additional activities within the community that are aimed at preventing and reducing UAD, identify what these activities may possibly include, and help plan for future rounds of Communities Talk.

Minority AIDS Initiative: Substance Use Disorder Prevention and Treatment Pilot Program (MAI PT Pilot)

Key Information

Abstract

Data collected through the MAI-PORT are necessary to ensure SAMHSA and grantees comply with requirements under the Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRA) that requires regular reporting of performance measures. Additionally, data collected through these tools will provide critical information to SAMHSA’s Government Project Officers (GPOs) related to grant oversight, including barriers and facilitators that the grantees have experienced, and an understanding of the technical assistance needed to help grantees implement their programs. The information also provides a mechanism to ensure grantees are meeting the requirements of the grant funding announcement as outlined in their notice of grant award. In addition, the tools reflect CSAP and CSAT’s desire to elicit pertinent program level data that can be used not only to guide future programs and practices, but also to respond to stakeholder, congressional, and agency inquiries.

Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied [Alien] Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to license them and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to place unaccompanied alien children referred to ORR by federal agencies into care provider facilities and to transfer children within the ORR care provider network. ACF is requesting emergency review and approval by OMB to update two forms approved under this information collection, as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13.  ACF is requesting approval as soon as possible due to secure beds becoming available on September 15, 2025 and requests 180 days of approval, during which time a full revision request will be submitted under normal procedures under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The information collection is essential to the mission of the agency, the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information, and public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed. For additional information see Attachment A.Emergency Justfication:ACF is requesting emergency review and approval by OMB to update two forms approved under the Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities information collection (OMB #0970-0554), as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13.  ACF is requesting approval as soon as possible due to secure beds becoming available on September 15, 2025 and requests 180 days of approval, during which time a full revision request will be submitted under normal procedures under the Paperwork Reduction Act.

Medicare Registration Application (CMS-855O)

Key Information

Abstract

The publication of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), section 6405 - "Physicians Who Order Items or Services Required to be Medicare Enrolled Physicians or Eligible Professionals" (regulation CMS 6010-F), contains a requirement for certain physicians and non-physician practitioners to enroll in the Medicare program for the sole purpose of ordering or referring items or services for Medicare beneficiaries. The PPACA has an effective date applicable to written orders and certifications made on or after July 1, 2010. The CMS 855O allows a physician to receive a Medicare identification number (without being approved for billing privileges) for the sole purpose of ordering and referring Medicare beneficiaries to Medicare approved providers and suppliers. This new Medicare application form allows physicians who do not provide services to Medicare beneficiaries to be given a Medicare identification number without having to supply all the data required for the submission of Medicare claims. It also allows the Medicare program to identify ordering and referring physicians without having to validate the amount of data necessary to determine claims payment eligibility (such as banking information), while continuing to identify the physician's credentials as valid for ordering and referring purposes.

Interagency Appraisal Complaint Form

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1473(p) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act provides that if the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) determines, six months after enactment of that section (i.e., January 21, 2011), that no national hotline exists to receive complaints of non-compliance with appraisal independence standards and Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), then the ASC shall establish and operate such a hotline (ASC Hotline). The statute requires that the ASC Hotline shall include a toll-free telephone number and an email address. Section 1473(p) further directs the ASC to refer complaints received through the ASC Hotline to the appropriate government bodies for further action, which may include referrals to the OCC, the Federal Reserve Board (Board), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and State agencies. On January 12, 2011, the ASC determined that a national appraisal hotline did not exist, and a notice of that determination was published in the Federal Register on January 28, 2011, (76 FR 5161). As a result, the ASC established a hotline to refer complaints to appropriate federal and state regulators. Representatives from the OCC, the Board, the FDIC, the NCUA, (Agencies) and the CFPB met and established a process to facilitate the referral of complaints received through the ASC Hotline to the appropriate federal financial institution regulatory agency or agencies. The Agencies developed the Interagency Appraisal Complaint Form to collect information necessary to take further action on the complaint. The CFPB incorporated the process into one of their existing systems. The Interagency Appraisal Complaint Form was developed for use by those who wish to file a formal, written complaint that an entity subject to the jurisdiction of one or more of the Agencies, has failed to comply with the appraisal independence standards or USPAP. The Interagency Appraisal Complaint Form is designed to collect information necessary for the Agencies to take further action on a complaint from an appraiser, other individual, financial institution, or other entities. The Agencies use the information to take further action on the complaint to the extent the complaint relates to an issue within their jurisdiction.
