Key Information

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.

Key Information

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 eliminated the requirement in section 73.3700(g)(4) that wireless licensees assigned to frequencies in the 600 MHz band under 47 C.F.R. part 27 notify low power TV and TV translator stations of their intent to commence wireless operations and the likelihood of receiving harmful interference from the low power TV or TV translator station to such operations within the wireless licensee’s licensed geographic service area. This change will result in a decrease in the burden hours/responses associated with this rule.

Abstract

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) is the agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that leads public health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation. SAMHSA is seeking approval for the new SAMHSA Unified Performance Reporting Tool (SUPRT) – Project (P).

Form ADV-H under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940

Key Information

Abstract

Form ADV-H (17 CFR 279.3) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 is the application that investment advisers use to request a hardship exemption from making Advisers Act filings electronically with the Investment Adviser Registration Depository (IARD). There are two types of hardship exemptions from making Advisers Act filings through IARD: a temporary hardship exemption and a continuing hardship exemption. Advisers Act rule 203-3 (17 CFR 275.203-3) sets forth requirements for both temporary hardship exemptions and continuing hardship exemptions for advisers registered or registering with the Commission. Advisers Act rule 204-4(e) (17 CFR 275.204-4(e)) sets forth requirements for temporary hardship exemptions for exempt reporting advisers. The purpose of Form ADV-H’s reporting requirements is to enable the Commission to process temporary hardship exemption requests from an adviser that is experiencing unanticipated technical difficulties that prevent it from submitting its Advisers Act filings to the IARD system and to determine whether to grant a continuing hardship exemption by providing information that shows the adviser qualifies as a small business and explains why the electronic filing requirements are prohibitively burdensome or expensive for the adviser.

Current Agricultural Industrial Reports (CAIR)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is seeking a three-year extension for its ongoing annual collection and publications. The data from the CAIR surveys will supply data users with important information on the utilization of many of the crops, livestock, and poultry produced in the United States. NASS currently collects crop data on acres planted and harvested, production, price, and stocks for these crops (grains, oilseeds, cotton, nuts, etc.), along with livestock data on the number of animals and poultry produced, slaughtered, prices, and the amount of meat kept in cold storage. The CAIR data series provides data users with vital information on how much of these commodities were processed into fuels, cooking oils, flour, fabric, etc. These additional data are needed to provide a more complete picture of the importance of agriculture to the American population.

Rule 17f-5 (17 CFR 270.17f-5) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, Custody of Investment Company Assets Outside the United States

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 17f 5 (17 CFR 270.17f 5) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 governs the custody of the assets of registered management investment companies (“funds”) with custodians outside the United States. The rule allows a fund or its foreign custody manager (as delegated by the fund’s board) to maintain the fund’s foreign assets in the care of an eligible fund custodian under certain conditions. If the fund board delegates to a foreign custody manager, the rule requires that the fund board find that it is reasonable to rely on each delegate and the delegate must agree to provide written reports to the fund board and establish a system to monitor the performance of the contract. The collection of information requirements under the rule are intended to provide protection for fund assets maintained with a foreign bank custodian.
