Bus Testing Program

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection (IC) request seeks a three-year extension without change for the currently approved collection under OMB Control Number 2132‑0550, “Bus Testing Program.” There have been no changes to the respondent universe, burden hours, or program requirements since OMB last approved this collection in 2023. The response to this collection remains required to obtain or retain a benefit, as federal funds may not be obligated or expended for the acquisition of a new transit bus unless the vehicle satisfies all requirements of FTA’s Bus Testing Program. Respondents to this collection are transit bus manufacturers who submit testing requests to FTA when introducing a new bus model or when major modifications are made to a model previously tested. All information is submitted through FTA’s online bus testing portal. Required information includes bus model and manufacturer details, vehicle specifications, documentation demonstrating compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, and descriptions of major design changes, if applicable. While the program itself has not changed, this updated IC reflects increased cost estimates for both respondents and the federal government due solely to updated labor rates.

Tobacco Retailer Training Programs

Key Information

Abstract

FDA intends to issue regulations establishing standards for approved tobacco retailer training programs. In the interim, FDA published a guidance document which is intended to assist tobacco retailers to voluntarily implement effective training programs for employees. Until FDA promulgates regulations, the agency intends to use the lower maximum civil money penalties schedule for all retailers who violate the restriction of the sale and distribution of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products, whether or not they have implemented a training program. FDA may consider further reducing the civil money penalty for retailers who have implemented a training program. Retailers who have received a Complaint for Civil Money Penalties or No-Tobacco Sale Order and who wish to submit evidence that they have a training program in place, for purposes of settlement negotiations only, may do so when filing an Answer to the Complaint.

Ombudsman Inquiry/Request Instrument

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of the Procurement Ombudsman (OPO) is currently tracking and processing vendor inquiries and complaints using a composite of methods including email, Google Sheets, and MS Word Docs which makes it difficult to share, collaborate, centrally store data, effectively track information, as well as producing the necessary analytics (i.e. trend analysis) required for reporting to GSA senior leadership. As a result, the OPO finds it more difficult to help deconflict issues between GSA vendors and the acquisition workforce, as well as producing the necessary analytics required to improve acquisition processes. The Inquiry/Request web site will standardize and automate the collection of the data thereby reducing issues associated with manual receipt and processing of email and telephone calls.

Appraisals for Higher-Priced Mortgage Loans

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1471 of the Dodd-Frank Act established a new Truth in Lending (TILA) section 129H, which contains appraisal requirements applicable to higher-risk mortgages and prohibits a creditor from extending credit in the form of a higher-risk mortgage loan to any consumer without meeting those requirements. A Higher-risk mortgage is defined as a residential mortgage loan secured by a principal dwelling with an annual percentage rate (APR) that exceeds the average prime offer rate (APOR) for a comparable transaction as of the date the interest rate is set by certain enumerated percentage point spreads. The rule requires that, within three days of application, a creditor provide a disclosure that informs consumers regarding the purpose of the appraisal, that the creditor will provide the consumer a copy of any appraisal, and that the consumer may choose to have a separate appraisal conducted at the expense of the consumer. If a loan meets the definition of a higher-risk mortgage loan, then the creditor would be required to obtain a written appraisal prepared by a certified or licensed appraiser who conducts a physical visit of the interior of the property that will secure the transaction, and send a copy of the written appraisal to the consumer. To qualify for the safe harbor provided under the rule, a creditor is required to review the written appraisal as specified in the text of the rule and appendix A. If a loan is classified as a higher-risk mortgage loan that will finance the acquisition of the property to be mortgaged, and the property was acquired within the previous 180 days by the seller at a price that was lower than the current sale price, then the creditor is required to obtain an additional appraisal.

NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

This proposal presents the results of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) residual risk and technology review for the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) from Hazardous Waste Combustors (HWC) as required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). In this action, the EPA is proposing to establish emission limits and work practice standards for hydrogen fluoride and hydrogen cyanide emissions from HWC incinerators, cement kilns, solid fuel boilers, and liquid fuel boilers; eliminate the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; add a work practice standard for periods of SSM; add electronic reporting procedures and requirements; allow states to choose to exempt area sources from certain permitting requirements; and other clarifications and corrections. In response to comments received on certain aspects of the July 24, 2024, proposed revisions for periods of malfunction, the EPA is withdrawing that proposed rule and instead proposing different provisions to address periods of SSM.

Supporting Statement for Agent/Broker Consent Information Collection (CMS-10840)

Key Information

Abstract

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, enacted on March 23, 2010, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, Public Law 111-152, enacted on March 30, 2010 (collectively, “Affordable Care Act”), expanded access to health insurance for individuals and employees of small businesses through the establishment of new Affordable Insurance Exchanges (Exchanges), also called Marketplaces. The Exchanges, which became operational on January 1, 2014, enhance competition in the health insurance market, expand access to affordable health insurance for millions of Americans, and provide consumers with a place to easily compare and shop for health insurance coverage. Section 1312(e) of the Affordable Care Act directs the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish procedures under which a state may permit agents and brokers to enroll qualified individuals and employers into qualified health plans (QHPs) offered through an Exchange and to enable these agents and brokers to assist individuals in applying for advance payments of the premium tax credit and cost-sharing reductions. Authority for collection of this information comes from 45 C.F.R. §155.220(c)(5), which states that “HHS or its designee may periodically monitor and audit an agent, broker, or web-broker under this subpart to assess its compliance with the applicable requirements of this section.” This information collection specifically details what information will be required to be collected and maintained by agents, brokers, and web-brokers were they to receive a request from HHS for consent records. Currently, HHS only plans to collect information from a small percentage of agents, brokers, or web-brokers in conjunction with active investigations of potential fraud. Utilizing §155.220(c)(5) and the information to be collected under newly proposed §§ 155.220(j)(2)(ii)(A)(1-2) and 155.220(j)(2)(iii)(A-C), HHS will be able to verify whether or not an agent, broker, or web-broker has obtained consent from a consumer they are assisting in enrolling in coverage in the individual market, and whether the consumer has reviewed their eligibility information and confirmed its accuracy.
