Accountability Definitions

Key Information

Abstract

Section 84001 of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025, modified the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). Proposed regulations stemming from the OBBBA require updates to several regulatory sections. Burden for these sections can be found spread across many currently approved information collection packages. On January 30, 2026, the Department published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) titled Reimagining and Improving Student Education (RISE) (91 FR 4254) revising 34 CFR Part 685. Specifically, the RISE NPRM proposed to add several new definitions under §685.102: expected time to credential, graduate student, professional student and program length. The OBBBA accountability framework also proposes amending §685.102 by adding new definitions: eligible non-GE program and gainful employment program (GE program). Due to the timing of these regulatory packages, the Department is requesting approval of a new collection to define eligible non-GE program and gainful employment program (GE program). Once regulations are final, the Department will merge 1845-NEW with 1845-0021 William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (DL) Regulations so the burden for §685.102 stays within one information collection without compromising the public’s review of proposed rules and burden of the new accountability framework. This way, all regulations proposed by changes from the OBBBA can be put out for public comment and OMB approval, as we are unable to propose regulatory changes to §685.102 in two separate NPRMs.

SNAP-ED National Program Evaluation and Reporting System (N-PEARS)

Key Information

Abstract

To gain Federally allocated SNAP-Ed grants to conduct SNAP-Ed activities every year, such as nutrition education and obesity prevention services, States must submit a SNAP-Ed State Plan and a SNAP-Ed Annual Report. The SNAP-Ed State Plan must be created based on SNAP-Ed Plan Guidance (https://snaped.fns.usda.gov/program-administration/snap-ed-plan-guidance-and-templates) and then reviewed and approved by FNS Regional Offices before SNAP-Ed funding can be utilized. The information contained in SNAP-Ed State Plans and Annual Reports is used by FNS to determine whether SNAP-Ed Program resources are being maximized, and whether State SNAP agencies have produced a persuasive and data-driven needs evaluation of nutrition, physical activity, and obesity prevention needs of the target population and their barriers to obtaining healthy foods and physical activity in the State SNAP-Ed Plan. Furthermore, the information is necessary to ensure integrity of SNAP-Ed funds, demonstrate program effectiveness, and track SNAP-Ed outcomes and impacts.

Advancing Interoperability and Improving Prior Authorization Processes (CMS-10843)

Key Information

Abstract

This proposed rule would place new requirements on Medicare Advantage organizations, Medicaid managed care plans, CHIP managed care entities, state Medicaid and CHIP fee-for-service (FFS) programs, and Qualified Health Plan (QHP) issuers on the Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs) to improve the electronic exchange of healthcare data, and streamline processes related to prior authorization, while continuing CMS’ drive toward interoperability, and reducing burden in the health care market. This proposed rule would also add new requirements for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals participating in the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program and for Merit-based Incentive Payment System eligible clinicians participating in the Promoting Interoperability performance category of the Quality Payment Program. These policies taken together play a key role in reducing overall payer and provider burden and improving patient access to health information.

FERC-920 (Electric Quarterly Report (EQR))

Key Information

Abstract

EQR information allows the Commission and the public to gain a more complete picture of interstate wholesale electric power and transmission markets by providing information concerning price formation and market concentration in these markets. Public access to power sales and transmission-related information in the EQR improves market participants’ ability to assess supply and demand fundamentals and to price interstate wholesale electric market transactions. This, in turn, results in greater market confidence, lower transaction costs, and ultimately supports competitive markets. In addition, the data filed in the EQR strengthens the Commission’s ability to exercise its oversight and enforcement responsibilities of wholesale electric and electric power transmission rates in accordance with the Federal Power Act. Without this information, the Commission would lack some of the data it needs to examine and approve or modify electric rates. It also strengthens the Commission’s ability to identify potential exercises of market power or manipulation and to better evaluate the competitiveness of interstate wholesale electric markets. FERC is revising this information collection. It is not requesting an extension as part of this action.

FERC-550, Oil Pipeline Rates - Tariff Filings and Depreciation Studies

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission's regulatory jurisdiction over oil pipelines includes: • the regulation of rates and practices of oil pipeline companies engaged in interstate transportation; • the establishment of equal service conditions to provide shippers with equal access to pipeline transportation; and • the establishment of reasonable rates for transporting petroleum and petroleum products by pipeline. The filing requirements for oil pipeline tariffs and rates under the FERC-550 data collection provide the Commission with the information it needs to analyze the rates, practices, and service conditions of oil pipelines. As a result, the Commission can implement statutory directives for the federal regulation of these carriers. Major statutory and rate-making milestones in the Commission’s regulation of oil pipelines rates (“Historical Background of Oil Pipeline Ratemaking”) are included in reginfo.gov and ROCIS under “Supplementary Documents” and posted at https://www.ferc.gov/federal-statutes.

Northwest Region, Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery: Cost Recovery

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a revision and extension of the current information collection pursuant to proposed rule (RIN 0648-BO02). This change will revise the information collected under the Pacific Coast Groundfish Trawl Rationalization Cost Recovery Program to include new information collected under the Primary Sablefish Fishery Cost Recovery Program currently being implemented and by changing the title from "Northwest Region, Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery: Trawl Rationalization Cost Recovery Program" to "West Coast Region, Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery: Cost Recovery" to better align the title with the fisheries subject to the information collection. One additional form will be added to the existing information collection to allow vessels in this sablefish primary fishery to make cost recovery payments. This rule includes management measures that would apply to vessels registered to limited entry fixed gear (LEFG) endorsed permits and LEFG permit owners in the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery. Specifically, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to: 1) add flexibility to the LEFG permits’ gear endorsements; 2) remove the base permit designation of LEFG permits; 3) remove the start and end times (i.e., hours of the day) for the open dates of the primary sablefish season; and 4) develop a cost recovery program for the LEFG primary sablefish fishery. The purpose of this rule is to provide increased flexibility to LEFG participants while reducing administrative burdens, and to develop a cost recovery program to meet the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) . Beginning in January 2011, NMFS implemented a trawl rationalization program, a type of a catch share program or limited access privilege program, for the Pacific coast groundfish fishery’s trawl fleet. The Pacific Coast Groundfish Trawl Rationalization Program (Trawl Program) was adopted through Amendment 20 to the Pacific coast groundfish fishery management plan (FMP). It consists of a Shorebased Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program (including whiting and non-whiting fisheries); and cooperative (Co-op) programs for the at-sea Mothership (MS) Co-op Program and Catcher/Processor (C/P) Co-op Program trawl fleets (whiting only). Beginning in January 2001, the NMFS implemented a sablefish rationalization program, a type of a catch share program or limited access privilege program, for the Pacific coast sablefish fishery fleet. The limited entry sablefish tier stacking program (Tier Program) was adopted through Amendment 14 to the Pacific coast groundfish fishery management plan (FMP). As a type of limited access privilege program (LAPP), the MSA requires the agency to recover part of the costs of management, data collection, and enforcement for the Trawl and Sablefish Programs, up to three percent of the ex-vessel value [16 U.S.C. 1853a MSA §303A and §304(d)(2)]. This is called a cost recovery program. The cost recovery program for the Trawl Program (Cost Recovery Program) covers all three sectors in the Trawl Program: the Shorebased IFQ Program, the MS Co-op Program, and the C/P Co-op Program. Additionally, the non-trawl Sablefish Primary Fishery Cost Recovery Program (Sablefish Cost Recovery Program) covers vessels fishing in the sablefish primary sablefish fishery. In the Pacific coast groundfish fishery regulations, the Trawl Cost Recovery Program is codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 660.115 . NMFS is developing a Sablefish Cost Recovery Program which will be codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 660.231.

Death Gratuity

Key Information

Abstract

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, Public Law 110-181, was enacted on January 28, 2008. Section 1105 of P.L. 110-181 amended the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) creating a new section, 5 U.S.C. § 8102a effective upon enactment. This section establishes a FECA death gratuity benefit of up to $100,000 for eligible beneficiaries of federal employees and Non-Appropriated Fund Instrumentality employees who die from injuries incurred in connection with service with an Armed Force in a contingency operation which also permits agencies to authorize retroactive payment of the death gratuity for employees who died on or after October 7, 2001 in service with an Armed Force in the theater of operations of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. It also allows federal employees to vary the order of precedence of beneficiaries or to name alternate beneficiaries and provides that the OWCP Forms CA-40, CA-41, and CA-42 are to be used to designate beneficiaries and initiate the payment process for death gratuity benefits. Form CA-40 is an optional form that requests the information necessary from the employee to accomplish this variance and to name alternate beneficiaries only if the employee wishes to do so. OWCP Form CA-41 provides the means for those named beneficiaries and possible recipients to file claims for those benefits and requests information from such claimants so that OWCP may determine their eligibility for payment. Further, the statute and regulations require agencies to notify OWCP immediately upon the death of a covered employee. OWCP Form CA-42 provides the means to accomplish this notification and requests information necessary to administer any claim for benefits resulting from such a death. Form CA-40 is an optional form that requests the information necessary from the employee to accomplish this variance and to name alternate beneficiaries only if the employee wishes to do so. Form CA-41 provides the means for those named beneficiaries and possible recipients to file claims for those benefits and requests information from such claimants so that OWCP may determine their eligibility for payment. Further, the statute and regulations require agencies to notify OWCP immediately upon the death of a covered employee. OWCP Form CA-42 provides the means to accomplish this notification and requests information necessary to administer any claim for benefits resulting from such a death.

Abstract

The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve revisions to OMB Control No. 3060-0944 to incorporate the requirements adopted by the Commission in the Submarine Cable Report and Order, FCC 25-49. The Submarine Cable Report and Order modernized the Commission’s submarine cable rules to facilitate infrastructure deployment, while strengthening national security. Submarine cables serve as the backbone of global communications, carrying 99% of global Internet traffic. To support growing demand and address evolving national security threats, the Commission updated its rules and procedures to streamline and improve the timeliness and transparency of its submarine cable licensing process. The Commission also modernized the process by identifying entities that pose a threat to submarine cable systems, such as foreign adversaries, and adopted common sense measures to preclude them from accessing the nation’s communications networks. The updates will provide greater certainty for applicants, while making targeted improvements to address national security threats.

FERC-914, Cogeneration and Small Power Production - Tariff Filings

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1253 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) modified Section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). The Commission implemented the Congressional mandate of the EPAct 2005 by, inter alia, establishing criteria for new qualifying cogeneration facilities by: • ensuring that these facilities are using their thermal output in a productive and beneficial manner; that the electrical, thermal, chemical and mechanical output of new qualifying cogeneration facilities is used fundamentally for industrial, commercial, residential or industrial purposes; and there is continuing progress in the development of efficient electric energy generating technology; • amending the FERC Form No. 556 (OMB Control No. 1902-0075) to reflect the criteria for new qualifying cogeneration facilities; and • eliminating ownership limitations for qualifying cogeneration and small power production facilities. The Commission satisfied the statutory mandate and its continuing obligation to review its policies encouraging cogeneration and small power production, energy conservation, efficient use of facilities and resources by electric utilities and equitable rates for energy customers. In the FERC-914 collection, those qualifying cogeneration and small power production facilities, required to do so, will submit to FERC: • FPA Section 205 and/or 206 filings, • Change of status notifications. Section 205 filings refer to Section 205(c) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), which requires that every public utility have all of its jurisdictional rates and tariffs on file with the Commission and make them available for public inspection, within such time and in such form as the Commission may designate. Section 205(d) of the FPA requires that every public utility must provide notice to the Commission and the public of any changes to its jurisdictional rates and tariffs.

States are required to submit an annual report on the provision of EPSDT services to CMS pursuant to section 1902(a)(43)(D) of the Social Security Act. These reports provide CMS with data necessary to assess the effectiveness of State EPSDT programs, to determine a state's results in achieving its participation goal, and to respond to inquiries. Respondents are State Medicaid agencies. The data is due April 1 of every year so States need to have the form and instructions as soon as possible in order to report timely.

Abstract

On December 19, 2025, the Commission released a Report and Order, FCC 25-84, concerning the advancement of the Class A, LPTV and TV translator services (LPTV Service). The Commission adopted a rule that provides that low power television and TV translator stations filing a displacement application (FCC Form 2100 – Schedule C) include an exhibit explaining how their facilities were displaced – 74.787(a)(4). The Commission also adopted a rule providing that an LPTV or TV translator channel sharee may cease channel sharing and seek to obtain a license for a non-shared channel by filing a major modification (FCC Form 2100, Schedule C) specifying a non-shared channel and facility – 74.799(i). Finally, the Commission adopted a rule – 74.793(j) – that requires that applicants seeking to construct facilities that would exceed the permissible interference levels in the rules pursuant to an agreement with the affected parties submit a copy of the agreement with their application. This submission is being made to OMB for approval of these new burdens. These changes will result in slight changes in the burden hours/responses.
