Student Assistance General Provisions

Key Information

Abstract

Section 84001 of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025, established an accountability framework for all postsecondary programs of study that participate in the Direct Loan Program, modifying the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The proposed framework would compare the median earnings of graduates to median earnings of a comparison group and would discontinue a program’s Direct Loan eligibility if its graduates earn less than the comparison group. On January 5, 2026, the Department of Education (the Department) convened a negotiated rulemaking committee to consider the new institutional accountability framework to develop regulations that improve institutional accountability by increasing transparency on program costs, aid, and outcomes. This is a request for a revision of the currently approved collection 1845-0022 Student Assistance General Provisions. Revisions to this collection will allow the Department to obtain the required information to implement the accountability framework as outlined in OBBB.

HCPCS Modification to Code Set Form (CMS-10224)

Key Information

Abstract

Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level II Code Modification Application Form (CMS-10224) to allow CMS to collect HCPCS Level II Code Modification requests in an electronic application intake system on the CMS-10224 form. All information is received and distributed to CMS' HCPCS workgroup and is reviewed and discussed at monthly workgroup meetings. In turn, CMS' HCPCS workgroup reaches a decision as to whether a change should be made to codes in the HCPCS code set. The respondent who submits the application form can be anyone who has an interest in obtaining a code or modifying an exiting code. However, respondents are usually manufacturers of products, or consultants on behalf of the manufacturer. Applicants will be able to access the HCPCS Level II application, via the Medicare Electronic Application Request Information SystemTM (MEARISTM), on a designated website through CMS.gov. The electronic version of the HCPCS Level II application will be the same as the paper version except for a few minor non-substantive changes as described in question one above and in our crosswalk document. This secure online application maintained by CMS enables applicants to submit their responses to our application questions directly to CMS as opposed to downloading the application from CMS.gov, completing the application, and attaching the completed application and sending via email.

10 CFR Part 75 - Safeguards on Nuclear Material, Implementation of US/IAEA Agreement

Key Information

Abstract

10 CFR part 75, requires selected licensees to provide reports of nuclear material inventory and flow for selected facilities under the US/IAEA Safeguards Agreement, permit inspections by IAEA inspectors, complementary access of IAEA inspectors under the Additional Protocol, give immediate notice to the NRC in specified situations involving the possibility of loss of nuclear material, and give notice for imports and exports of specified amounts of nuclear material. In addition, this collection is being renewed to include approximately 6 entities subject to the U.S.–IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366). These licensees will provide reports of nuclear material inventory and flow for entities under the U.S.–IAEA Caribbean Territories Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC/366), permit inspections by IAEA inspectors, give immediate notice to the NRC in specified situations involving the possibility of loss of nuclear material, and give notice for imports and exports of specified amounts of nuclear material. These licensees will also follow written material accounting and control procedures, although actual reporting of transfer and material balance records to the IAEA will be done through the U.S. State system (Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System, collected under OMB clearance numbers 3150–0003, 3150–0004, 3150–0057, and 3150–0058). The NRC needs this information to implement its responsibilities under the US/IAEA agreement.

Assurance and Certification of Compliance

Key Information

Abstract

The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) collects an Assurance of Compliance (Form HHS-690) from applicants and recipients of federal financial assistance from HHS. The Form certifies compliance with federal civil rights, religious non-discrimination, and conscience protections. This Form ensures covered entities are aware of their obligations under federal civil rights laws, conscience, and religious nondiscrimination laws enforced by OCR and certify that they will comply. Compliance with this assurance is a material condition of the continued receipt of HHS funds, and a subsequent finding of compliance under the authorities contained in this assurance may give rise to liability under the False Claims Act.

Supporting Data for Nonbeverage Drawback Claims

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5111–5114 and 7652(g), persons using distilled spirits to produce medicines, medicinal preparations, food products, flavors, flavoring extracts, or perfume may claim drawback (refund) of all but $1.00 per proof gallon of the Federal excise tax paid on the distilled spirits used to make such nonbeverage products, subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. As required by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 17 and 26, when submitting nonbeverage product drawback claims to TTB, respondents are required to report certain supporting data regarding the distilled spirits used and the products produced using form TTB F 5154.2. TTB uses the collected information to ensure that drawback of Federal excise tax is provided only to eligible entities.

Labeling of Sulfites in Alcohol Beverages

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that sulfating agents are human allergens that can have serious health implications for persons who are allergic to sulfites, particularly asthmatics. As a result, FDA regulations require food labels to declare the presence of sulfites if there are 10 parts per million (ppm) or more of a sulfating agent in a finished food product. Under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 205(e), the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to issue regulations requiring alcohol beverage labels to provide “adequate information” to consumers regarding the identity and quality of such products. Under that FAA Act authority and consistent with FDA’s food labeling requirements, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) alcohol beverage labeling regulations in 27 CFR part 4 (wine), part 5 (distilled spirits), and part 7 (beer) require a declaration of sulfites on the labels of alcohol beverages released from domestic bottling premises or customs custody when sulfites are present in such products at levels of 10 or more ppm. This label disclosure is necessary to protect sulfite-sensitive consumers from products that potentially could be harmful to them.

Distilled Spirits Plant Equipment and Structures (TTB REC 5110/12)

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5178 and 5180 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations regarding the location, construction, and arrangement of distilled spirits plants (DSPs), the identification of DSP structures, equipment, pipes, and tanks, and the posting of an exterior sign at their place of business. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5206 also requires DSP proprietors to mark containers of distilled spirits, subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations concerning the identification of DSP plants, equipment, structures, and bulk containers are contained in 27 CFR part 19. Those regulations describe the exterior identification sign required at DSPs and the identification signs or marks on DSP structures, cookers, fermenters, stills, tanks, and other major equipment. The regulations also require tank cars and tank trucks used by DSPs as bulk conveyances for distilled spirits to be permanently and legibly marked with identifying information and capacity. The information set forth under this information collection is necessary to protect the revenue and facilitate inspections, as TTB uses the required signs and marks to identify the location, use, and capacity of a DSP’s structures, equipment, and conveyances to prevent illegal operations and diversion.

Recordkeeping for Tobacco Products Removed in Bond from a Manufacturer's Premises for Experimental Purposes -- 27 CFR 40.232(e)

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5704(a) provides that manufacturers of tobacco products (cigars, cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, pipe tobacco, and roll-your-own tobacco) may remove such products for experimental purposes without payment of Federal excise tax, as prescribed by regulation. Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations at 27 CFR 40.232(e) require tobacco product manufacturers to keep certain usual and customary business records documenting the amount, kind, recipient, use, and disposition of tobacco products removed for experimental purposes outside of a factory. These records, which are subject to TTB inspection, are necessary to protect the revenue as they allow TTB to account for the lawful use and disposition of nontaxpaid tobacco products removed from a factory and detect diversion of such products into the domestic market.

Because it is very difficult to obtain a beneficiary's signature (or the signature of a person authorized to sign on behalf of the beneficiary) on a claim when the beneficiary is being transported by ambulance in emergency situations, we are proposing that, for emergency ambulance transport services, an ambulance provider or supplier may submit the claim without a beneficiary's signature, as long as certain documentation requirements are met.

Formula and/or Process For Article Made With Specially Denatured Spirits

Key Information

Abstract

In general, under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5214, distilled spirits used in the manufacture of nonbeverage articles are not subject to Federal excise tax, and, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5273, persons who intend to produce such articles using specially denatured distilled spirits (SDS) must obtain prior approval of their formulas and manufacturing processes. For medicinal preparations and flavoring extracts intended for internal human use, that section also prohibits SDS from remaining in the finished articles. Therefore, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 20 require persons to file formula and process approval requests for articles made with SDS using form TTB F 5150.19. TTB personnel examine the collected information to verify that the described articles are nonbeverage products made in compliance with 26 U.S.C. 5273. TTB field personnel also may compare manufacturing records to approved formulas to verify that such articles are being made in accordance with their approved formulas and processes.
