The Exchanges, which became operational on January 1, 2014, enhanced competition in the health insurance market, expanded access to affordable health insurance for millions of Americans, and provided consumers with a place to easily compare and shop for health insurance coverage. Benefit Plans, Eligibility Notices, Fair Hearing and Appeal Processes, and Premiums and Cost Sharing; Exchanges: Eligibility and Enrollment (CMS-2334-F) address: (1) standards related to notices, (2) procedures for the verification of enrollment in an eligible employer-sponsored plan and eligibility for qualifying coverage in an eligible employer-sponsored plan; and (3) other eligibility and enrollment provisions to provide detail necessary for state implementation. The submission seeks OMB approval of the information collection requirements Sections 1311(b) and 1321(b) of the Affordable Care Act provide that each state has the opportunity to establish an Exchange that (1) facilitates the purchase of insurance coverage by qualified individuals through QHPs; (2) assists qualified employers in the enrollment of their employees in QHPs; and (3) meets other standards specified in the Affordable Care Act. Section 1311(k) of the Affordable Care Act specifies that Exchanges may not establish rules that conflict with or prevent the application of regulations promulgated by the Secretary. Section 1311(d) of the Affordable Care Act describes the minimum functions of an Exchange, including the certification of QHPs.

Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act and Veterans' Preference Eligibility

Key Information

Abstract

Title 38 U.S.C. Section 4322 of USERRA authorizes the Secretary of Labor (through the Veterans' Employment and Training Service) to investigate claims by individuals who believe their USERRA rights have been violated. The information is used to determine eligibility of veterans complaints to reemployment rights they are seeking as well as to state alleged violations by employers of the pertinent statutes and request assistance in obtaining appropriate reemployment benefits. The Veterans Employment Opportunities Act (VEOA) of 1998, P.L. 105-339, 112 Stat. 3182, contained in Title 5 U.S.C. § 3330a-3330(b), provides assistance to preference eligible individuals who believe their rights under the veterans' preference laws and the Veterans Benefit Improvement Act of 2008 (Public Law No: 110-389) have been violated. Section 3 of the VEOA provides the Secretary of Labor similar authority to investigate complaints brought by preference eligibles. The collection instrument completed by claimants contains the information required and needed for the Department to determine initial eligibility of the claimant.

Rule 22e-4 (17 CFR 270.22e-4) under the Investment Company Act 0f 1940, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires an open-end management investment companies (but not money market funds) and an exchange-traded fund that redeems in kind to establish a written liquidity risk management program that is designed to assess and manage the fund's liquidity risk. The requirements under rule 22e-4 that a fund and In-Kind ETF, as applicable, adopt a written liquidity risk management program, report to the board, maintain a written record of how the highly liquid investment minimum was determined and written policies and procedures for responding to a shortfall of the fund’s highly liquid investment minimum, which includes reporting to the fund’s board of directors (for funds that do not primarily hold highly liquid investments), establish written policies and procedures regarding how the fund will engage in redemptions in kind, and retain certain other records are all collections of information under the PRA. In addition, the requirement under rule 22e-4 that the principal underwriter or depositor of a UIT assess the liquidity of the UIT on or before the date of the initial deposit of portfolio securities into the UIT and retain a record of such determination for the life of the UIT, and for five years thereafter, is also a collection of information under the PRA. The respondents to rule 22e-4 are open-end management investment companies (including, under certain circumstances, In-Kind ETFs but excluding money market funds), and the principal underwriters or depositors of UITs under certain circumstances. Compliance with rule 22e-4 is mandatory. The information collection requirements of rule 22e-4 are designed to ensure that funds maintain comprehensive, written liquidity risk management programs that promote compliance with the federal securities laws and protect investors. The information collections also assist the Commission’s examination staff in assessing the adequacy of funds’ liquidity risk management programs and identifying weaknesses in a fund’s liquidity risk management if violations occur or are uncorrected.

Data Security Requirements for Accessing Restricted Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (44 U.S.C. 3583) mandates that the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) establish a standard application process (SAP) for requesting access to certain confidential data assets. While the adoption of the SAP is required for statistical agencies and units designated under the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2018 (CIPSEA), it is recognized that other agencies and organizational units within the Executive Branch may benefit from the adoption of the SAP to accept applications for access to confidential data assets. The SAP is to be a process through which agencies, the Congressional Budget Office, State, local, and Tribal governments, researchers, and other individuals, as appropriate, may apply to access confidential data assets held by a federal statistical agency or unit for the purposes of developing evidence. With the Interagency Council on Statistical Policy (ICSP) as advisors, the entities upon whom this requirement is levied are working with the SAP Project Management Office (PMO) and with OMB to implement the SAP. The SAP Portal is to be a single web-based common application designed to collect information from individuals requesting access to confidential data assets from federal statistical agencies and units. BJS makes the microdata it is required to protect as confidential available to approved researchers through a restricted access setting via its official criminal justice data archive. As a Federal Statistical Agency, BJS adheres to the SAP requirements and BJS restricted (confidential) microdata are available for discovery and application via the SAP Portal. In late 2022, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES), in its role as the SAP PMO, published a 60-day Federal Register Notice (87 FR 53793) and 30-day Federal Register Notice (87 FR 66754) announcing plans to collect information through the SAP Portal. This collection request was submitted to the OMB as a Common Form in late 2022; the OMB control number for SAP Portal information collection is 3145-0271 and the expiration date is 12/31/2025.

Procedures for Requests from Tribal Lead Agencies to use Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Funds for Construction or Major Renovation of Child Care Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act allows Tribal Lead Agencies to use Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) funds for construction or major renovation of child care facilities. The CCDBG Act requires a Tribal Lead Agency, including one that has consolidated its CCDF program into an approved Plan under the Indian Employment, Training and Related Services Consolidation Act of 2017, also known as P.L. 102-477, to first request and receive approval from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) before using CCDF funds for construction or major renovation. CCDBG requires ACF to develop and implement uniform procedures for the solicitation and consideration of such requests. This Program Instruction (PI) sets forth the uniform procedures. The Office of Child Care (OCC) proposes extending approval of the information collection with changes, significantly reducing the burden for Tribal Lead Agencies and clarifying requirements.

Generic for ACF Program Monitoring Activities

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is for a revision to the umbrella Generic for ACF Program Monitoring Activities. The current expiration date is November 30, 2023. The overall proposed purposes, uses, and scope of the umbrella remain unchanged. The only changes are to the burden estimates, as described in sections A12 and A15. The Generic for ACF Program Monitoring Activities allows Administration for Children and Families (ACF) program offices to collect standardized information from recipients that receive Federal funds to ensure oversight, evaluation, support purposes, and stewardship of Federal funds. The information is necessary to ensure compliance with Federal and programmatic requirements, monitor progress on recipient activities, and determine and respond to recipient needs such as Training and Technical Assistance (T/TA). ACF is primarily a grant-making agency that promotes the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities with partnerships, funding, guidance, T/TA. ACF program offices have evolving monitoring needs, dependent on both internal and external factors, such as but not limited to: current grantee activities, needs; uses of federal funds; changes to aspects of programs based on statutory authority, federal regulations or policy, and/or Congressional appropriations; availability of program office funds for site visits (v. desk monitoring); matters of importance related to national health and safety needs of the public, or other events that lead to program changes. There are times when standardized collections of information would be helpful for program offices as they monitor recipient activities and needs. This generic clearance allows program offices the flexibility to create tailored information collections based on current circumstances and to receive approval for these in a timely manner. This is important to allow for ACF’s: • monitoring of compliance with federal practice, guidelines and requirements, • quick understanding of and remediation to national, regional, and/or site-specific issues, • provision of support as needed, • accurate assessment of the efficiency and efficacy of recipient activities • documentation of promising practice, innovative services, and program strengths • flexible and responsive oversight of federal funds May 2025 NonSub Change: In January 2025, the current Administration released multiple Executive Orders (EO) and memoranda requiring updates to information collections that request gender and/or gender identity, to only request “Sex” with the options Male/Female. Additionally, presidential actions focused on the removal of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-specific activities. To be responsive to the new administration, ACF is submitting change requests for a number of implicated information collections. This request is specific to updates related to a recent presidential action, as detailed in the accompanying Justification for a NonSubstantive Change Memo (May 29, 2025).

Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) National Evaluation Impact and Implementation Study

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families' (ACF) Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) requests Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information collection for an impact and implementation evaluation of Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) programming , on behalf of the SRAE National Evaluation. As part of the federal government’s ongoing efforts to support youth in making healthy decisions about their relationships and behaviors, in February 2018, Congress updated Title V, Section 510 of the Social Security Act to authorize the SRAE grant program. Administered by the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) within ACF of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), SRAE funds programs that teach adolescents to refrain from nonmarital sexual activity. The programs also provide education on personal responsibility, self-regulation, goal setting, healthy relationships, a focus on the future, and preventing drug and alcohol use. The SRAE legislation requires the conduct of one or more rigorous evaluations of the education provided by SRAE programs. The current data collection request is necessary to conduct impact and implementation evaluations that will build evidence around the effectiveness of SRAE programming.

Information collections contained in Modernizing Materials Licensing Proposed Rule, 10 CFR Parts 30, 37, 40, 51, 70, 72, and 140

Key Information

Abstract

PROPOSED RULE: Information collections contained in Modernizing Materials Licensing Proposed Rule, 10 CFR Parts 30, 37, 40, 51, 70, 72, and 140 The proposed rule would revise information collection related to materials licensing. Major changes would include eliminating the nine-month advance application requirement for facility construction in 10 CFR parts 30, 40, and for some facilities under 10 CFR part 70, and allowing construction to begin at the applicant’s risk for most materials facility types; introducing a new exemption in 10 CFR part 37 for large components and robust structures containing category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material, with new recordkeeping for exemption documentation; streamlining and clarifying application content and reporting requirements in 10 CFR part 70, especially for spent fuel reprocessing facilities; shifting certain annual and biennial reporting requirements in 10 CFR part 72 to recordkeeping only, and adjusting notification and registration deadlines for spent fuel storage; and establishing new documentation requirements in 10 CFR part 140 for spent fuel reprocessing facility licensees (liability insurance and indemnification for reprocessing facilities). These changes collectively would reduce unnecessary regulatory burden, clarify ambiguous requirements, and improve the efficiency and practical utility of NRC’s information collections, ensuring that the agency would continue to receive essential information for effective oversight while minimizing paperwork burdens on regulated entities. NOTE: Because this rule results in a net reduction in the number of responses, but an overall increase in burden, the data fields in the submission reflect a nominal entry of 1 response. Please refer to the supporting statement and burden tables for the actual burden estimates. In addition, the cost to the government is a savings of $23,100, but 0 has been entered in the field, as it does not allow a negative response.

NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) Data Submission Request Form - Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG) (NCI)

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for OMB to approve an extension for an additional three (3) years. The purpose of the NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) Data Submission Request Form is to provide a vehicle for investigators to request submission of their cancer genomic data into the GDC to support data sharing. The purpose is also to provide a mechanism for the GDC Data Submission Review Committee to review and assess the data submission request for applicability to the GDC mission. The scope of the form involves obtaining information from investigators that: 1) would like to submit data about their study into the GDC, 2) are affiliated with studies that adhere to GDC data submission conditions. The benefits of the collection are that it provides the needed information for investigators to understand the types of studies and data that the GDC supports. It also allows for a standard mechanism for the GDC to assess incoming data submission requests.
