Abstract

The MIECHV program supports voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services during pregnancy and to families with young children up to kindergarten entry living in at-risk communities. One key program requirement is that programs deliver services using models that meet HHS criteria for evidence of effectiveness.1 HRSA and ACF define such service delivery models as “evidence-based.” ACF administers the Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness (HomVEE) review process to identify early childhood home visiting models that demonstrate evidence of effectiveness.2 However, not all evidence-based service delivery models approved through the HomVEE process meet MIECHV statutory requirements such that they may be used to carry out the MIECHV Program in fidelity to applicable program requirements. This ICR to proposes a survey to identify service delivery models that meet both HHS criteria for evidence of effectiveness, as determined by HomVEE review, and applicable MIECHV statutory requirements, and therefore may be used by eligible entities to provide home visiting services through the MIECHV Program.

Abstract

This collection of information is necessary in order for the Secretary of Education to designate an institution of higher education eligible to apply for funding under Section 312 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. An institution must apply to the Secretary to be designated as an eligible institution. This collection of information is gathered electronically by the Department for the purpose of determining an institution’s eligibility to participate in grant programs under Section 312 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 based on its enrollment of needy students and low average Core Expenses per full-time equivalent student. This collection also allows an institution to request a waiver of certain non-Federal cost-share requirements under the Federal Work-Study Program, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, and Student Support Services Program. The collection is paired with a computational exercise that results in the simultaneous publication of an Eligibility Matrix, a listing of postsecondary institutions potentially eligible to apply for grants in Institutional Service. Criteria derived from applicable legislation and regulations are applied to enrollment and financial data from Department sources to determine the eligibility of each institution for each program. Only those institutions that either do not meet the financial criteria or do not appear in the Eligibility Matrix need to go through the application process. The results of the application process are a determination of eligibility for grant application and waiver, and updated information on institutional eligibility which is added to the Eligibility Matrix.

Abstract

This is a request for the renewal of an approved information collection. Under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the Pacific coast groundfish fishery is managed under the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) by the National Marine Fisheries Service West Coast Region. One sector of the groundfish fishery has limited entry permits endorsed for trawl gear and is managed under a catch share program. The catch share program implemented requirements for 100- percent observer coverage at-sea and dockside to ensure full accountability for catch of allocated species and a level playing field for all participants. To provide a cost-effective alternative to human observer coverage, vessels may choose to use electronic monitoring (EM). EM uses video cameras and integrated sensors (e.g., GPS, motion sensor, hydraulic pressure sensor) to passively monitor fishing activity at-sea. The video and sensor data can be reviewed after the trip by an analyst onshore to collect information about location and amount of catch and fishing effort. EM has the potential to reduce monitoring costs because it does not require deploying a person on the vessel and the logistical and travel expenses that generates. This information collection includes a permit application and associated documents for EM service provider companies, a permit application and associated documents for vessels participating in EM, and a logbook and video hard drive submissions for participating vessels. The information is used to allow vessels to utilize EM in lieu of the 100% human observer requirement and for fishery catch accounting to occur according to regulations in place at 50 CFR 660 subpart J.

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval for this new information collection request (ICR) to collect detailed information on current body size and shape, posture, and motion of vehicle occupants. This research will support NHTSA in the development of tools used for occupant protection during crashes, will add to the body of knowledge, and will inform future agency activities; however, it is not associated with immediate regulatory activities. The designs of anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs, commonly known as crash test dummies) are based on measurements of volunteers sitting in vehicle and laboratory seats. The current generation of ATDs is based on data gathered at University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) in the 1980s. Since that time, the U.S. population has change substantially, most notably due to the large increase in body mass. Measurement technologies have also improved dramatically with the development of fast three-dimensional surface measurement systems. Seating configurations have also expanded from the traditional seat posture collected in the 1980s with increased recline angles in modern vehicles. This combination of a population size shift and more variable seat configurations presents a clear need for updated seated anthropometry to be collected with new advanced anthropometry measurement capabilities. The individual data collections, approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Michigan, will each be performed once. Study participants will be male and female licensed adult drivers from the general public, and participation will be voluntary with compensation. For an in-lab study, information collections include (1) an online screening questionnaire; (2) an eligibility phone call to confirm eligibility, interest, and to schedule a time in the lab; and (3) informed consent for the in-lab study and anthropometric measurement. A subset of the in-lab participants will be asked to participate in an in-vehicle study to include (1) a pre-drive questionnaire for the in-vehicle study; (2) informed consent for the in-vehicle study and anthropometric measurements; and (3) a post-drive questionnaire for the in-vehicle study. This research study will gather a new database of information on adult body size, shape, posture, and motion to support advancement in these safety applications. This study will add to the body of the knowledge on motor vehicle anthropometry and will support crash safety and occupant protection through the development of human body models (HBMs) and anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs). A technical report on the project and outcomes will be prepared and published. The annual burden hours for the new collection are estimated to be 341 with an estimated $11,379 in opportunity costs.

Abstract

During a disease outbreak overseas with risk of case importation to the United States, CDC may screen airline passengers who have recently been in the outbreak area for signs, symptoms, or exposures to the outbreak disease. In such situations, CDC relies on its federal partners in the DHS to assist in the risk assessment and entry screening process because of their presence at the ports of entry. As needed, DHS will refer travelers into public health entry screening and risk assessment process. The public health entry screening typically consists of an initial health and exposure questionnaire to determine if a more in-depth public health risk assessment of a traveler is necessary. CDC develops the tools and training to facilitate this public health entry screening and works to ensure that any individual who is identified by DHS as being from the outbreak area is screened and further evaluated if compatible symptoms or potential exposures are identified. For those who are symptomatic or potentially exposed, additional public health measures may involve transport to a healthcare facility for medical evaluation if a traveler is identified as being ill; quarantine for those with high-risk exposures but with no evidence of illness or infection; and/or communication with CDC or health departments facilitate timely detection and management if potentially exposed travelers develop symptoms after arrival. This information collection concerns CDC’s statutory and regulatory authority related to conducting public health screening of travelers upon arrival to the United States and assessing individual travelers for public health risk following a report of illness from a conveyance or other notification at a U.S. port of entry. As part of this responsibility, DGMH has implemented traveler management activities that collect contact information and share the information with health departments so that the travelers can be assessed for exposure risk, monitored for signs or symptoms of disease, and isolated and medically examined if needed. CDC anticipates the future need for these activities to prevent the introduction or spread of communicable diseases into the United States that threaten the public’s health.

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval for a one-time voluntary information collection from 168 participants ages 18 and 19 who do not yet have driver’s licenses for a research study on novice driver training. Specifically, this collection involves developing and testing a novice driver training program on a smartphone-like platform and determining whether the effectiveness of the training differs for participants of different sexes, socio-economic status (SES) strata, and trait levels of sensation seeking and aggressiveness. The information collection will proceed in two phases. First, the research team expects to provide screening questionnaires to 1,002 potential participants to determine their eligibility for the study; screening questionnaires will be provided to those who respond to recruitment information about the study posted on social media platforms or provided to contacts in local communities (e.g., teen centers, community college faculty in the area, high school principals, local driving schools) and to those who participated in past studies at the research center and agreed to be contacted about future opportunities. To be eligible, participants must be 18 or 19 years old, must not have an unrestricted driver’s license or an intermediate/provisional license that allows driving independently, and must be interested in obtaining an unrestricted or intermediate/provisional license in the next 12 months. Participants may have a learner’s permit. Completing the screening questionnaire is estimated to have a burden of 5 minutes per respondent (an annual burden of 28 hours for 334 annual respondents, averaged over the three-year approval period). Second, of the estimated 1,002 potential participants who are provided a screening questionnaire, an estimated 180 respondents are expected to complete the screening questionnaire and be eligible, interested, and willing to travel to the research center to undergo the informed consent process, with an estimated burden of 70 minutes per respondent, including travel time (an annual burden of 70 hours for 60 annual respondents). Finally, of the estimated 180 respondents who undergo the informed consent process, an estimated 168 respondents are expected to consent and enroll in the study. These participants will complete the enrollment process and a pre-study questionnaire, with an estimated burden of 10 minutes per respondent (an annual burden of 9 hours for 56 annual respondents). Then, participants will complete the novice driver training protocol, which involves a pre-training test, the hazard anticipation and attention maintenance training program (or a placebo training program), a post-training test (all administered on a computer), a rest break, a test on a computerized driving simulator, and a post-study questionnaire. The training protocol has an estimated burden of 230 minutes per respondent (an annual burden of 215 hours for 56 annual respondents). The total annual burden for this information collection is 322 hours and $13,069. Prior to conducting the study, the research team will obtain review and approval of this data collection from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) that meets all Federal requirements in 45 CFR 46, is registered with the Office for Human Research Protections, and has a Federal wide Assurance. NHTSA will use the results of this study to produce a technical report containing summary descriptive and inferential statistics. No identifying information or individual responses will be reported. The technical report will be shared with State highway safety offices, local governments, policymakers, researchers, educators, advocates, and others who may wish to use the data from this survey to support their work on novice and teen driver safety.

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.

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.
