The Informal Dispute Settlement Procedures Rule

Key Information

Abstract

Section 110(a)(2) of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. Section 2301, et seq.) directed the Commission to prescribe rules setting forth the minimum requirements for any informal dispute settlement procedure that the warrantor requires the consumer to use before pursuing any legal action in court. On December 31, 1975, the Commission issued its Rule on Informal Dispute Settlement Procedures, 16 C.F.R. 703 (the Rule or Rule 703), which sets minimum standards for informal dispute settlement mechanisms (IDSMs) established to resolve consumer warranty disputes. The purpose of the Rule is to carry out Congress's intent to encourage the fair and expeditious handling of consumer disputes through the use of alternative dispute resolution methods. Rule 703 applies only to those warrantors who (1) provide a written warranty, (2) on a consumer product, and (3) place a prior resort requirement in their warranty (i.e., require consumers to use a dispute resolution mechanism before exercising their legal remedies in court). Neither the Act nor Rule 703 requires warrantors to set up IDSMs. Furthermore, a warrantor is free to set up an IDSM that does not comply with Rule 703 as long as the warranty does not contain a prior resort requirement. Rule 703 contains procedural standards that must be followed by every IDSM that is incorporated, through a prior resort clause, into the terms of a written consumer product warranty. These standards include requirements concerning the mechanism's structure, the qualifications of staff or decision makers, the mechanism's procedures for resolving disputes, recordkeeping, and annual audits.

Prior Authorization Process and Requirements for Certain Hospital Outpatient Department (OPD) Services (CMS-10711)

Key Information

Abstract

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for adding an additional service category to the established prior authorization process and requirements for certain outpatient department (OPD) services. This process is under the authority of §1833(t)(2)(F) which authorizes the Secretary to develop a method for controlling unnecessary increases in the volume of covered OPD services. In the CY 2020 OPPS/ASC final rule, CMS established criteria for identifying a list of outpatient department services requiring prior authorization and focused on five groups of OPD services – blepharoplasty, botulinum toxin injections, panniculectomy, rhinoplasty, vein ablation, and their related services. As part of the CY 2021 OPPS/ASC Final Rule (CMS -1736-FC), we added two more service categories to the prior authorization process - cervical fusion with disc removal and implanted spinal neurostimulators. Through the CY 2023 OPPS/ASC Final Rule (CMS-1772-FC), CMS added eighth service category to the list of OPD services requiring prior authorization- facet joint interventions. As part of the CY 2027 OPPS/ASC rule, CMS is expanding prior authorization requirements to include additional Botulinum Toxin Injection services. This addition would be incorporated into the existing list of OPD services requiring prior authorization at § 419.83(a) for dates of service provided on or after July 1, 2027. CMS recently completed an analysis of the volume of covered OPD services furnished and recognized significant increases in the utilization volume of these additional services. CMS believes a prior authorization process for these additional services would ensure beneficiaries receive medically necessary care while protecting the Medicare Trust Funds from improper payments and unnecessary utilization.

Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval from OMB of this information collection request (ICR) for an extension with modification of its currently approved information collection for the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS) information collection and related special studies. NHTSA is seeking approval to modify the collection to update the burdens and remove one special study. NHTSA is authorized by 49 U.S.C. 30182 and 23 U.S.C. 403 to collect data on motor vehicle traffic crashes to aid in the identification of issues and the development, implementation, and evaluation of motor vehicle and highway safety countermeasures to support efforts to reduce injuries and fatalities caused by motor vehicle crashes. CRSS is a voluntary collection of data from police-reported crashes involving all types of motor vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists; this includes property damage only crashes as well as those resulting in injuries and fatalities. The Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS) is a virtual data collection effort for collecting information about non-traffic crashes and non-crash incidents. The NTS data provide counts and details regarding fatalities and injuries that occur in non-traffic crashes and in non-crash incidents. Additionally, two special studies are included: the non-Sample count study and the PJ frame evaluation which will assess the quality of the CRSS sampling frame and assist with determining the weights and measure of size for the CRSS Police Jurisdictions (PJs). This is a modification to the previously approved as OMB Control No. 2127-0714 (current expiration Date: 8/31/2026). This ICR decreased the burden by 24,513hours (from 42,680 hours to 18,167 hours). The cost burden remains the same at $0.

Natural Resource Damage Assessments (43 CFR Part 11)

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Department of the Interior’s (Interior) Office of Restoration and Damage Assessment (ORDA) oversees the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) Program, the mission of which is to restore natural resources injured as a result of oil spills or hazardous substance releases into the environment. In partnership with affected State, Tribal, and Federal Trustee agencies, damage assessments are conducted as the first step toward resource restoration, and are used to provide the basis for determining restoration needs that address the public's loss and use of natural resources. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA; 42 U.S.C. 9601, 9607), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., and the Clean Water Act (CWA; 33 U.S.C. 1251-1376), provide that natural resource trustees may assess damages to natural resources resulting from a discharge of oil or a release of a hazardous substance covered under CERCLA or the CWA and may seek to recover those damages. This part supplements the procedures established under the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR part 300, for the identification, investigation, study, and response to a discharge of oil or release of a hazardous substance, and it provides a procedure by which a natural resource trustee can determine compensation for injuries to natural resources that have not been, nor are expected to be, addressed by response actions conducted pursuant to the NCP. The assessment procedures set forth in Part 11 are not mandatory. However, they must be used by Federal or State natural resource trustees in order to obtain the rebuttable presumption contained in section 107(f)(2)(C) of CERCLA.

Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Assessment Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

Operators of Hazardous Liquid Pipelines are required to document the continual assessment and evaluation of their pipelines’ integrity through inspection or testing, as well as remedial preventive, and mitigative actions. PHMSA proposes to modify this collection to include new notification and recordkeeping provisions from the Pipeline Safety: Repair Criteria NPRM. Under the proposal, hazardous liquid operators would be required to notify PHMSA in advance of using an alternative sampling approach in accordance with § 195.18(a) and (b) and operators who perform an Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) for dents would be required to submit their ECA procedures to PHMSA through the notification and no-objection process outlined in § 195.18(c). This mandatory record keeping requirement supports the U.S. Department of Transportation’s “SAFETY STRATEGIC GOAL” which targets three main strategic initiatives: managing risk and integrity, sharing responsibility, and providing effective stewardship. This goal enhances public health and safety by working toward the elimination of transportation-related deaths and injuries. This information is used by PHMSA to determine compliance with Federal pipeline safety regulations and is also used by Agency and State Officials to assist Federal and State pipeline safety inspectors who audit this information when they conduct compliance inspections and to provide background for failure investigations.

FERC Form No. 6-Q, Quarterly Report of Oil Pipeline Companies

Key Information

Abstract

The Interstate Commerce Act (ICA) authorizes the Commission to make investigations, collect, and record data in order to carry out certain necessary and useful provisions. The information collected from oil pipeline companies under the requirements of the FERC Form No. 6-Q provide the Commission the ability to implement the statutory provisions of the ICA including the authority to prescribe rules, regulations concerning accounts, records, memoranda as necessary. The ICA also allows the Commission to prescribe a system of accounts for jurisdictional companies and (after notice) and opportunity for hearing to determine the accounts in which particular outlays and receipts can be entered, charged, or credited. The financial accounting and reporting provides needed information concerning a FERC Form No. 6-Q company’s past performance and its future prospects. Without reliable financial statements (prepared in accordance with the Commission’s Uniform Systems of Accounts), the Commission would be unable to accurately determine the costs that related to a particular time period, service, or line of business. Additionally, it would be more difficult for the Commission to determine if a certain entity was previously provided the opportunity to recover its costs via rates or to compare how the financial performance of one regulated entity relates to another. The FERC Form No. 6-Q assists the Commission in overseeing and policing the regulated oil pipeline markets to assist in enforcing the ICA. The Commission proposes to clarify that small oil pipeline companies with annual jurisdictional operating revenues of less than $500,000 and that do not file an annual FERC Form No. 6 are exempt from reporting FERC Form No. 6-Q. This proposed clarification would confirm that the second and third reporting tiers do not file FERC Form No. 6-Q. In addition, the Commission conducted a comprehensive review of the information collected in FERC Form No. 6-Q and proposes to delete three schedules from that form. In this NOPR, the Commission seeks comment on whether the data reported on the indicated schedules is helpful to the public and, if so, how this data is used. The Commission also seeks comment on whether there may be a better way for the public to access the data rather than through the quarterly financial forms. The Commission also proposes to update the general filing instructions and certain schedule instructions to reflect current reporting requirements and correct discrepancies.

Requirements Related to Surprise Billing; Part II (CMS-10791)

Key Information

Abstract

The No Surprises Act adds a new Part E of title XXVII of the PHS Act establishing requirements applicable to health care providers, and facilities. Specifically, the No Surprises Act adds provisions at new PHS Act sections 2799B-6 and 2799B-7, which require providers and facilities to provide a good faith estimate of the total expected charges to uninsured individuals, under certain circumstances, upon their request, for scheduled items and services, and allow uninsured individuals to avail themselves to a patient-provider dispute resolution process if their billed charges after receiving such items or services is substantially in excess of the expected charges listed in the good faith estimate furnished by the provider ot facility. PHS Act section 2799B-6 (2)(A) requires a health care provider or facility to provide a notification of the good faith estimate of expected charges to a plan or issuer in the case the individual is enrolled in such a plan or coverage and is seeking to have a claim for such item or services submitted to such plan or coverage. The good faith estimate of expected charges from the health care provider or facility will inform the advanced explanation of benefits that must be provided by the plan or issuer, as required by PHS Act section 2799A-1(f), in the case the individual is enrolled in such a plan or coverage and is seeking to have a claim for such item or services submitted to such plan or coverage.

FERC-3-Q, Quarterly Financial Report of Electric Utilities, Licensees, and Natural Gas Companies

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) requests the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review the proposed changes to 3-Q (electric and gas) as part of the NOPR RM26-12-000. The Commission conducted a comprehensive review of the information collected in the quarterly financial forms and proposes to delete a total of 20 schedules from FERC Form No. 3-Q across both Electric (17 schedules) and Gas (3 schedules). In this NOPR, the Commission seeks comment on whether the data reported on the indicated schedules is helpful to the public and, if so, how this data is used. The Commission also seeks comment on whether there may be a better way for the public to access the data in these 20 schedules, rather than through the quarterly financial forms. In accordance with sections 304(a) and 309 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) and sections 10(a) and 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), FERC is authorized to collect and record data to the extent it considers necessary, and to prescribe rules and regulations concerning accounts, records, and memoranda. Under the existing regulations, FERC jurisdictional entities subject to its Uniform System of Accounts (USofA) must annually file a complete set of financial statements with the Commission, along with other selected financial and non-financial data through the submission of FERC Form Nos. 1 and 1-F and must file this information quarterly through the submission of FERC Form No. 3-Q.

West Coast Region Pacific Tuna Fisheries Logbook, Fish Aggregating Device Form, and Observer Safety Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a revision and extension of a currently approved collection of information. The revisions are a result of a final rule (RIN: 0648-B029) under the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, as amended, to implement resolutions adopted at the 103rd Meeting of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) in September 2025. These Resolutions include C-25-01 (Conservation Measures for Tropical Tunas in the Eastern Pacific Ocean During 2026 and 2027-2028) and C-25-07 (Amends and Replaces Resolution C-24-06 on Fish-Aggregating Devices). The final rule also implements several provisions of Resolution C-19-04 (Resolution to Mitigate Impacts on Sea Turtles) that were not previously implemented. The final rule modifies recordkeeping and reporting requirements for fish aggregating devices (FADs) in the eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) to provide an alternative to current paper FAD recovery reporting forms and allow vessel owners and operators to directly enter FAD recovery data into the IATTC’s online FAD Recovery database to fulfill reporting requirements. Furthermore, for reporting on Active FADs, it adds a data field to report whether the echosounder is on or off. Additionally, the final rule includes data collection requirements for U.S. purse seine vessel owners and operators to report information on minimum data fields (e.g., species ID, size, release condition) for reporting sea turtle interactions that are not already collected and submitted to the IATTC by an observer onboard the vessel.

Pribilof Islands: Administration and Taking for Subsistence Purposes

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for revision and extension of collection of information control number 0648-0699. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) proposes to revise this information collection pursuant to interim final rule 0648-BN39 which would allow landowners to apply for an exception under 50 CFR 216.82 to bring an independently certified rodent detection dog to the Pribilof Islands to detect and prevent the establishment of invasive rodents. A proposed rulemaking requesting public comments was published on December 11, 2025 (90 FR 57442). Due to an administrative error, NOAA did not submit a revision package at that time. NMFS regulations for the subsistence use of northern fur seals under the Fur Seal Act (FSA) requires Alaska Native residents of the Pribilof Islands to report their subsistence need and their actual subsistence take of northern fur seals. The current collection of information allows the NMFS to confirm the annual subsistence use of northern fur seals is consistent with subsistence use quotas established in 2014 and 2019.

Medicare Part C and Part D Program Audit Protocols (CMS-10717)

Key Information

Abstract

42 CFR 422.502 describes CMS' regulatory authority to evaluate, through inspection or other means, Medicare Advantage Part C organizations. These records include books, contracts, medical records, patient care documentation and other records that pertain to any aspect of services performed, reconciliation of benefit liabilities, and determination of amounts payable. 42 CFR 423.503 states that CMS must oversee a Part D plan sponsor's continued compliance with the requirements for a Part D plan sponsor. 423.514 states that the Part D plan sponsor must have an effective procedure to develop, compile, evaluate, and report to CMS, to its enrollees, and to the general public, at the times and in the manner that CMS requires, statistics regarding areas such as cost of operations, patterns of utilization availability, accessibility, and acceptability of services. CMS developed a strategy to address our oversight and audit responsibilities within the context of limited audit/oversight resources. We have combined all Part C and Part D guides into one universal guide promoting efficiency and effectiveness and reducing financial and time burdens for both CMS and Medicare-contracting entities.
