Affordable Care Act Internal Claims and Appeals and External Review Procedures for Non-grandfathered Group Health Plans and Issuers and Individual Market Issuers (CMS-10338)

Key Information

Abstract

These interim final regulations set forth rules implementing revisions to the Public Health Service (PHS) Act section 2719 for internal claims and appeals and external review processes to implement Section 110 of the No Surprises Act (NSA), which protects participants, beneficiaries, and enrollees in group health plans and group and individual health insurance coverage from receiving surprise medical bills when they receive emergency services, non-emergency services from non-participating providers at participating facilities, and air ambulance services, under certain circumstances. Specifically Section 110 of the NSA amends section 2719 of the PHS Act to require the external review process to apply to participants, beneficiaries, and enrollees of such plans with respect to any adverse determination by a plan or issuer under section 2799A-1 or 2799A-2 of the PHS Act. These protections also extend to grandfathered plans.

Transparency in Pricing Information (CMS-10715)

Key Information

Abstract

The information collection requirements contained in the proposed rule titled “Transparency in Coverage,” published November 27, 2019 (84 FR 65464), would require group health plans and health insurance issuers offering coverage in the individual and group markets to disclose to a participant, beneficiary, or enrollee (or an authorized representative on behalf of such individual), the estimated cost-sharing liability for covered items or services from a particular provider or providers, thereby allowing a participant, beneficiary, or enrollee to obtain an accurate estimate and understanding of their potential out-of-pocket expenses and to effectively shop for covered items and services. Group health plans and health insurance issuers would be required to make such information available through a self-service tool on an internet website. The self-service tool must provide the information through real-time responses and allow users to search for cost-sharing information for covered items and services. The self-service tool must also allow users to input information necessary to learn the out-of-network allowed amount for a covered item or service and have the capability to refine and reorder results. Group health plans and health insurance issuers would also be required to make this information available as a disclosure in written form. Both the self-service tool and the paper disclosure would be required to include several disclaimer statements relevant to information provided through the disclosure and could be provided by using a model notice developed by the Departments. Additionally, group health plans and health insurance issuers would be subject requirements to disclose in-network provider negotiated rates and historical payment data for allowed amounts for covered items and services furnished by out-of-network providers through two digital files in a machine-readable format to be specified by the Departments. The Negotiated Rate file and the Allowed Amount file must be posted publicly on an internet website.

Northeast Multispecies Reporting Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for a rule-related (0648-BN23) revision and extension of OMB Control No. 0648-0605. This revision request makes the following changes: ● Removal of weekly annual catch entitlement (ACE) reporting requirements for sectors (50 CFR 648.87(b)(1)(v)(B)); ● Removal of the option to increase the frequency of ACE reporting requirements for sectors when the balance of remaining ACE is low, as specified in the sector operations plan and approved by NMFS (50 CFR 648.87(b)(1)(v)(B)); ● Removal of the requirement for sectors to include in their operations plan a list of all Federal and state permits held by persons participating in the sector, including an indication for each permit whether it is enrolled and will actively fish in a sector, or will be subject to the provisions of the common pool (50 CFR 648.87(b) (2) (ii)). These collections are necessary to carry out the requirements of the groundfish fishery as specified by the Northeast (NE) Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP). Removal of the above requirements is intended to reduce the administrative burden on sectors, without negatively affecting the availability of information for analyzing the impacts of sectors, monitoring against the objectives of the FMP, or evaluating current management programs and future management proposals.

Provider Network Coverage Data Collection (CMS-10594)

Key Information

Abstract

Proposed §156.230(e)(1) would require that QHP issuers make a good faith effort to provide written notice of discontinuation of a provider 30 days prior to the effective date of the change or otherwise as soon as practicable, to enrollees who are patients seen on a regular basis by the provider or who receive primary care from the provider whose contract is discontinuing. This is a third-party disclosure requirement. CMS is not proposing to collect this notice from QHP issuers in FFMs, therefore we are not specifying ways in which we will use the data. The purpose of this notice is to provide consumers information on when their providers will no longer be available in-network in their QHP. In proposed 156.230(f)(2), we require QHP issuers to provide a notice to enrollees of the possibility of out-of-network charges from an out-of-network provider in an in-network setting at least 10 calendar days prior to the service being provided to avoid counting the out-of-network costs against to the annual limitation on cost sharing.

Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act Programs, 25 CFR 900

Key Information

Abstract

The Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA), as authorized by 25 USC 450 et. seq., authorizes and directs the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to contract or compact with, and fund Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations that choose to take over the operation of programs, services, functions and activities (PSFAs) that would otherwise be operated by the BIA. These PSFAs include programs such as law enforcement, social services, and tribal priority allocation programs. Congressional appropriations are divided among BIA and Tribes and Tribal organizations to pay for both the BIA’s direct operation of programs and for the operation of programs by Tribes and Tribal organizations through Self-Determination contracts and compacts. The regulations implementing ISDEAA are at 25 CFR 900. An Indian Tribe or Tribal organization is required to submit this information each time that it proposes to contract with BIA under the ISDEAA. The information collected is used by the BIA to determine applicant eligibility, evaluate applicant capabilities, protect the service population, safeguard Federal funds and resources, and permit the BIA to administer and evaluate Tribal ISDEAA contract programs.

Confidential Business Information Claims under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (Non-Substantive Change)

Key Information

Abstract

EPA is finalizing new and amended requirements concerning the assertion and maintenance of claims of business confidentiality (also known as Confidential Business Information or CBI) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601, et seq. The Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, Pub. L. 114182 referred to in this Notice as Lautenberg), made significant amendments to TSCA including new provisions governing the assertion of CBI claims and requirements concerning Agency review and treatment of confidentiality claims. This final rule specifies procedures for submitting and supporting CBI claims in TSCA submissions, including substantiation requirements applicable at the time of submission, exemptions from the requirement to substantiate, electronic reporting enhancements (which include new electronic reporting requirements, as well as integration of TSCA requirements to provide certain certification statements, substantiation, and generic names when making confidentiality claims), and maintenance or withdrawal of confidentiality claims. The final rule also specifies Agency procedures for reviewing and communicating with TSCA submitters about confidentiality claims, including requirements for submitters to maintain contact information, procedures EPA will use to provide notices to submitters concerning their claims, and the manner in which EPA will notify submitters concerning the impending expiration of certain claims. The final rule includes new provisions, as well as amending and reorganizing existing provisions concerning assertion of confidentiality claims in order to conform to new requirements in Lautenberg. Most procedural requirements for asserting and maintaining a confidentiality claim are organized into a new part of the CFR, which would apply to any TSCA submission, except as modified by or elaborated on elsewhere in parts 704, 707, 716, 717, 720, 721, 723, 725, 770, or 790. The following submissions under TSCA will now have new or amended procedures for substantiated claims of confidentiality: TSCA Section 8(a); 40 CFR 704 TSCA Section 12(b) Notification of Export; 40 CFR 707.75(d) TSCA Section 8(d) Health and Safety Studies; 40 CFR 716.55(a) and (c) TSCA Section 8(c) Allegations of Adverse Effects; 40 CFR 717.19 TSCA Section 5 Premanufacture Notices (PMNs); 40 CFR 720.85 and 720.90 and 720 Subpart F TSCA Section 5 40 CFR 721 Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) TSCA Section 5 Polymer Exemption; 40 CFR 723.250(f); and Low Volume Exemptions 40 CFR 723.50 TSCA Section 5 microorganisms; 40 CFR 725 Subpart C TSCA Title VI Formaldehyde Emissions Standards for Composite Wood; 40 CFR 770 TSCA Section 4 Test Orders; 40 CFR 790

NESHAP for Taconite Iron Ore Processing (40 CFR part 63 subpart RRRRR) (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

he National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Taconite Iron Ore Processing was proposed on December 18, 2002 and promulgated on October 30, 2003. The NESHAP is codified at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart RRRRR. The regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that either emit or has the potential to emit any single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per year from all emission sources at the plant site. Affected sources include each new or existing ore crushing and handling operation, ore dryer, indurating furnace, and finished pellet handling operation. The pollutants regulated include HAP metals, using particulate matter (PM) as a surrogate. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of the original proposal (December 18, 2002). The NESHAP was last amended in 2020 as part of the residual risk and technology review of the regulation (85 FR 45476, July 28, 2020). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to add emission standards for mercury, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride for taconite iron ore indurating furnaces and to require additional notifications and reports to help ensure compliance with the proposed standards. This ICR package summaries the estimated burden and costs for the proposed amendments In general, all NESHAP require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. Owners/operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any failures to meet applicable standards, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. In addition to the notifications, a semiannual report is also required. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NESHAP. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements and retain the file for at least 5 years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States EPA regional office.

Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT)

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is developing a web-based tool, Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT), to assist aircraft operators in achieving compliance with the requirements of 14 CFR §§ 91.103, 91.225, and 91.227. Depending on the specific nature of the operator’s request, varying levels of information are necessary for the FAA to process the requests made via this tool. The SAPT has three main tools: Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) SAPT, Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) SAPT, and ADS-B Deviation Authorization Pre-Flight Tool (ADAPT). The SAPT user may have to use one or more of these tools depending upon the nature of their request. The SAPT continually collects Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation status (e.g., GPS almanacs) and FAA surveillance status data (e.g., surveillance radars (SSR) and wide area multilateration (WAM)) in order to assess the accuracy and integrity of GPS, FAA backup surveillance availability, and other data in real time. This information is used to determine navigation or to support air traffic control services in terminal, en route airspace, and in airport surface operations. SAPT models the GPS system and matches it with certain specified GPS avionics performance characteristics to determine if there is sufficient position information predicted throughout the flight to use for navigation or surveillance.

Formal Complaint Collection

Key Information

Abstract

Formal complaints are voluntary submissions and can be filed by any person at any time. They are typically submitted by either an individual or an organization. Formal complaints must meet the following requirements in 14 CFR § 13.5(b): (1) Be submitted in writing and identified as a complaint seeking an appropriate order or other enforcement action; (2) Be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration, Office of the Chief Counsel; (3) Set forth the name and address, if known, of each person who is the subject of the complaint, with the specific statute, rule, regulation, or order violated; (4) Contain a concise but complete statement of the facts relied upon to substantiate each allegation; (5) State the name, address, telephone number, and email of the person filing the complaint; and (6) Be signed by the person filing the complaint or an authorized representative. Personnel in the FAA Office of the Chief Counsel, Enforcement Division (“FAA Enforcement Division”) receive and review each submission to determine if it complies with § 13.5(b). If it complies, the FAA Enforcement Division sends a copy of the complaint to all the subjects identified in the complaint. The subject of a complaint may file a written answer. The complaint and answer will often include supporting evidence (e.g., log book pages, pictures, emails). FAA reviews the complaint and answer provided. If FAA determines that reasonable grounds exist to support an investigation, it initiates an investigation and notifies the complainant and alleged violators of FAA’s determination in writing. The FAA Enforcement Division may initiate legal action if warranted by the investigation. If, however, FAA determines an investigation is not warranted, it dismisses the complaint, providing its rationale in writing to the complainant and alleged violators. The FAA Enforcement Division maintains the formal complaint docket and gives each complaint a unique docket number. The docket consists of the formal complaint, an answer (if any), and a response from the program office to the parties (i.e. complainant and subjects). If the complaint warrants no investigation, the program office’s response would be a letter advising the parties that there are no grounds for an investigation, and that the complaint is dismissed. If the complaint warrants an investigation, the program office would provide the parties a notification of the investigation and a report of the investigation. While the formal complaint docket is accessible to the public through a FOIA request, it is not accessible via the Internet. AGC-300 retains control over the information in the formal complaint docket and safeguards it from improper access, modification, and destruction, consistent with confidentiality, privacy, and electronic information requirements. The PII stored in the formal complaint docket is not disseminated to the public. Upon a member of the public’s request for materials from the docket, FAA would redact PII in accordance with the Privacy Act and other applicable law.

Under the National Compensation Survey (NCS), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) currently uses the Employment Cost Index (ECI) and Occupational Employment Statistics (OEWS) to provide grade and local wage data required by the President's Pay Agent to comply with the requirements of the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990 (FEPCA). The President's Pay Agent uses these data to recommend pay increases for Federal General Schedule workers; NCS data produces the Employment Cost Index which is designated a Principal Federal Economic Indicator under OMB Statistical Policy Directive No. 3. NCS data is used to produce the ECI, the Employer Cost for Employee Compensation (ECEC) and data for the President's Pay Agent.
