West Coast Region U.S. Pacific Highly Migratory Species Logbooks

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension of a current information collection, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is updating the title of this information collection to clarify that this applies not only to hook and line logbooks, but also to a broader group of gear types (i.e., deep-set buoy gear, coastal purse seine, large-mesh drift gillnet, and harpoon HMS gear types). U.S. fishermen participating in the Pacific highly migratory species (HMS) fishery are required to obtain a HMS Fishery Management Plan (FMP) permit. A requirement for the permit is to complete and submit logbooks documenting their daily fishing activities, including catch and effort for each fishing trip. Submissions must be made within 30 days of the completion of a trip. The information obtained is used by the agency to assess the status of Pacific HMS stocks and to monitor the fishery.

No Surprises Act: IDR Process

Key Information

Abstract

The CAA added provisions applicable to group health plans and health insurance issuers in the group and individual markets in a new Part D of title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) and also added new provisions to part 7 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and Subchapter B of chapter 100 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). Section 102 of the No Surprises Act added Code section 9816, ERISA section 716, and PHS Act section 2799A-1, which contain limitations on cost sharing and requirements for initial payments for emergency services. Section 103 of the No Surprises Act amended Code section 9816, ERISA section 716, and PHS Act section 2799A-1 to establish a Federal independent dispute resolution (Federal IDR) process that nonparticipating providers or facilities and group health plans and health insurance issuers in the group and individual market may use following the end of an unsuccessful open negotiation period to determine the out-of-network rate for certain services. More specifically, the Federal IDR provisions may be used to determine the out-of-network rate for certain emergency services, nonemergency items and services furnished by nonparticipating providers at participating health care facilities, where an All-Payer Model Agreement or specified state law does not apply. Section 105 of the No Surprises Act created Code section 9817, ERISA section 717, and PHS Act section 2799A-2 which contain limitations on cost sharing and requirements for initial payments for air ambulance services, and allow plans and issuers and providers of air ambulance services to access the Federal IDR process. CAA provisions that apply to health care providers and facilities, and providers of air ambulance services, such as requirements around cost sharing, prohibitions on balance billing for certain items and services, and requirements related to disclosures about balance billing protections, were added to title XXVII of the PHS Act in a new part E.Emergency Justfication:The ROCIS system was only allowing us to submit this information collection as an emergency. This is not a emergency, but the rule was published on 6/04/2026. We are looking for a three-year approval.

National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) Data Security Requirements for Accessing Confidential Data

Key Information

Abstract

Title III of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (hereafter referred to as the Evidence Act) mandates that OMB establish a Standard Application Process (SAP) for requesting access to certain confidential data assets. Specifically, the Evidence Act requires OMB to establish a common application process through which agencies, the Congressional Budget Office, State, local, and Tribal governments, researchers, and other individuals, as appropriate, may apply for access to confidential data assets collected, accessed, or acquired by a statistical agency or unit. This new process will be implemented while maintaining stringent controls to protect confidentiality and privacy, as required by law. The fulfillment of NCSES’s data security requirements places a degree of burden on individuals, which is outlined below.

10 CFR Part 61, Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste

Key Information

Abstract

PROPOSED RULE: Integrated Low-Level Radioactive Waste, 10 CFR Part 61 The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to require LLW disposal facilities to conduct site-specific technical analyses to demonstrate compliance with the performance objectives of 10 CFR part 61. The intent of the rule is to ensure performance objectives are met at disposal sites for disposal of LLW that was not analyzed in the original 10 CFR part 61 regulatory basis (e.g., significant quantities of depleted uranium, GTCC waste). The site-specific technical analyses would include compliance period analyses with both a performance assessment and an intruder assessment, performance period analyses to evaluate how the disposal system could mitigate the risk from long-lived LLW, and an LLW acceptance plan identifying the WAC for the disposal facility. In addition, licensees must review their LLW acceptance plan annually and update analyses as part of the application for closure. The information collection would be conducted to demonstrate compliance with the performance objectives in 10 CFR part 61 and develop criteria for LLW acceptance based on the results of these analyses that would continue to ensure the safe disposal of LLW. Information would be used by the NRC to ensure compliance with the performance objectives in subpart C of 10 CFR part 61 to ensure that LLW streams that are significantly different from those considered during the development of the original regulations can be disposed of safely and meet the performance objectives for land disposal of LLW. These amendments would also increase the use of site-specific information to better ensure that public health and safety continues to be protected.

National Pipeline Mapping Program

Key Information

Abstract

The Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–355), 49 U.S.C. 60132, ‘‘National Pipeline Mapping System,’’ requires, the operator of a pipeline facility (except distribution lines and gathering lines) to provide information to the Pipeline and Hazardous Safety Administration (PHMSA). Each operator is required to submit geospatial data appropriate for use in the National Pipeline Mapping System or data in a format that can be readily converted to geospatial data; the name and address of the person with primary operational control (to be known as its operator), and a means for a member of the public to contact the operator for additional information about the pipeline facilities it operates. This revision will require operators to identify if a breakout tank is managed under risk-based inspection protocols when submitting geospatial information on breakout tanks to the National Pipeline Mapping System in accordance with § 195.61. The new data elements will strengthen the effectiveness of PHMSA’s risk rankings and evaluations, which are used as a factor in determining pipeline inspection priority and frequency; allow for more effective assistance to emergency responders by providing them with a more reliable, complete data set of pipelines and facilities; and provide better support to PHMSA’s inspectors by supplying more accurate pipeline locations and additional pipeline-related geospatial data that can be linked to tabular data in PHMSA’s inspection database.

Northeast Region Hunter Participation Surveys

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has overall Federal responsibility for managing the Nation's fish and wildlife resources. Part of the Service’s mission is to provide the public with wildlife-based outdoor recreation opportunities on National Wildlife Refuges, National Fish Hatcheries, and other Service lands (collectively, refuges). These outdoor recreation opportunities include hunting, which is an important opportunity for people to connect with nature, harvest food, and assist the Service in managing wildlife populations. The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act, as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act (The Act; 16 U.S.C. 668dd et seq.) stipulates that refuges undergo a comprehensive conservation planning process that, among other things, must look at the compatibility of wildlife-dependent recreation (including hunting) on refuges. We will use the information from the proposed survey effort to inform planning on refuges as mandated by The Act.
