Abstract

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has a continuing commitment to assess its efforts to provide support and technical assistance to OCC-supervised national banks and Federal savings associations (community banks). To perform this assessment, it is necessary to obtain from community banks feedback on the effectiveness of the OCC’s current efforts and suggestions for enhancing its supervisory efforts and assistance. The OCC will use the survey to collect non-generalizable information about customer satisfaction.

Abstract

In 2020, FRA created a dedicated website allowing the public and law enforcement personnel to use web-based forms to voluntarily submit information about blocked highway-rail grade crossings to FRA. Under the currently approved information collection request (ICR), users provide information regarding the location, date, time, duration, and immediate impacts of highway-rail grade crossings blocked by slow-moving or stationary trains. FRA uses the data collected to gain a more complete picture of where, when, and for how long blocked crossings occur, and what impacts result from reported blocked crossing those incidents. Additionally, FRA uses the information to respond to congressional inquiries from members of Congress and so that congressional staff can respond to their constituents. Furthermore, FRA also uses the information gathered to facilitate meetings, outreach, and other solutions for stakeholders to reduce or eliminate blocked crossing concerns. This information is voluntary and open to the public. In a July 2022 Memorandum, DOT issued mandated requirements for the implementation of an enhanced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), making the use of a username and password no longer acceptable on public applications. Due to the observed lower usage of the dedicated law enforcement web link and the large burden associated, FRA has determined that the high burden associated with providing all law enforcement and first responders with the required DOT email address to use MFA, FRA determined that maintaining the restricted access, dedicated web link was not administratively practical. FRA has removed the law enforcement web link, and all blocked crossings information are now being submitted using the unrestricted web-based form for the public. This submission reflects information received though the general public web-based form available for use by all members of the public, such as law enforcement, first responders and concerned citizens. There is no requirement for recordkeeping. The frequency will be as needed as determined by the public.

Abstract

49 CFR part 270—System Safety Program (SSP) and part 271—Risk Reduction Program (RRP) require railroads subject to those rules to include a fatigue risk management program (FRMP) as one part of their railroad safety risk reduction programs. A railroad must adopt and implement its FRMP through an FRMP plan that the railroad has submitted to FRA for review and approval. These FRMP requirements are found at part 270, subpart E—Fatigue Risk Management Programs and at part 271, subpart G—Fatigue Risk Management Programs. FRA will use the information collected to ensure that railroads are developing and implementing an FRMP that meets regulatory requirements. FRA will also use the collected information to determine whether a railroad’s FRMP is improving railroad safety through the reduction of fatigue experienced by its safety-related railroad employees. This information collection is mandatory, submitted as needed, and there is a requirement for reporting.

Abstract

CISA is responsible for performing Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure, which may originate outside the United States Government (USG) network/community and affect users within the USG and/or broader community, or originate within the USG community and affect users both within and outside of it. Often, therefore, the effective handling of security incidents relies on information sharing among individual users, industry, and the USG, which may be facilitated by and through CISA. A dedicated form on the CISA website will allow for reporting of vulnerabilities that the reporting entity believe to be CISA Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) eligible. Upon submission, CISA will evaluate the information provided, and then will triage through the CVD process, if all CISA scoped CVD requirements are met.

Abstract

The Market Risk Regulatory Report for Institutions Subject to the Market Risk Capital Rule (FFIEC 102) is filed quarterly by FDIC-supervised banks and savings associations that are subject to the market risk capital rule. A bank, savings association, bank holding company, savings and loan holding company, or U.S. intermediate holding company must apply the market risk capital rule if the institution has aggregate trading assets and trading liabilities, as reported in the institution’s most recent Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report) or Consolidated Financial Statements for Holding Companies (FR Y-9C), as applicable, equal to (a) 10 percent or more of quarter-end total assets or (b) $1 billion or more. The data collected in the Market Risk Regulatory Report is needed to assess the reasonableness and accuracy of a market risk institution’s calculation of its minimum capital requirements under the revised market risk capital rule and to evaluate a market risk institution’s capital in relation to its risks. Each market risk institution is required to file the FFIEC 102. The FFIEC 102 allows the agencies to better track growth in the more credit-risk related, less liquid, and less actively traded products subject to the market risk rule.

Abstract

U.S. commercial banks, savings associations, Edge or agreement corporations, bank holding companies (BHCs), savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs), and U.S. intermediate holding companies of foreign banking organizations (IHCs) (collectively, U.S. banking organizations) that meet certain criteria set forth in the FFIEC 009 instructions must file the quarterly FFIEC 009 with the Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) (collectively, the agencies) to report information on international claims. The agencies use this information to monitor the degree of country risk and transfer risk in U.S. banking organizations’ portfolios and the potential impact of adverse international developments on the banking organizations. The FFIEC 009a is a supplement to the FFIEC 009 that must be filed by FFIEC 009 filers that have exposure exceeding certain thresholds set forth in the FFIEC 009a instructions. The FFIEC 009a collects quarterly information on material foreign country exposures of U.S. banking organizations. The agencies collect the FFIEC 009 and FFIEC 009a under the auspices of the FFIEC. The Board is responsible for collecting and compiling the data reported on the FFIEC 009 and FFIEC 009a on behalf of all three agencies. Each of the agencies submits a separate supporting statement to the OMB for this collection of information for relevant banking organizations under their supervision. For the Board, these banking organizations are state member banks, Edge or agreement corporations, BHCs, SLHCs, and IHCs.

Abstract

Pursuant to section 1886(s)(4)(C) of the Social Security Act as added and amended by sections 3401 and 10322 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and further amended by section 4125(c) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, starting in FY 2014 (that is, October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014) and for subsequent fiscal years, IPFs paid under the IPF PPS shall submit pre-defined quality measures to the CMS. Such data shall be submitted in a form and manner, and at a time specified by the Secretary. Section 1886(s)(4)(A) of the Act provides that IPFs that fail to submit data on the selected quality measures and comply with other administrative requirements will have their IPF prospective payment system (PPS) payment updates reduced by 2.0 percentage points. This is a revision of the currently approved information collection request. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS’) quality reporting programs promote higher quality, more efficient healthcare for Medicare beneficiaries by collecting and reporting on quality-of-care metrics. This information is made available to consumers, both to empower Medicare beneficiaries and inform decision-making, as well as to incentivize healthcare facilities to make continued improvements. Specifically, CMS has implemented quality measure reporting programs for multiple settings, including for the Inpatient Psychiatric Facility (IPF) setting, to achieve its overarching priorities and initiatives, including the National Quality Strategy and the Meaningful Measure 2.0 Framework. In particular, Meaningful Measures 2.0 promotes innovation and modernization of all aspects of quality to better address health care priorities and gaps, emphasize digital quality measurement, and promote patient perspectives by supporting five interrelated goals: (1) empower consumers to make good health care choices through patient-directed quality measures and public transparency, (2) leverage quality measures to promote health equity and close gaps in care, (3) streamline quality measurement, (4) leverage measures to drive outcome improvement through public reporting and payment programs, and (5) improve quality measure efficiency by transitioning to digital measures and using advanced data analytics. The information collection requirements for the FY 2014 through FY 2028 program years (that is, data submitted from CY 2013 through CY 2027) are currently approved under OMB control number 0938-1171 (expiration date January 31, 2027). This request covers updates to the data collection requirements beginning with the FY 2026 payment determination (that is data submitted in CY 2025) and subsequent years.

Abstract

The market risk rule, which requires banking organizations to hold capital to cover their exposure to market risk, is an important component of the regulatory capital rules that have been adopted by the Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) (collectively, the agencies). In order to implement the market risk rule, the agencies, acting under the auspices of the FFIEC, implemented the FFIEC 102, which collects key information from respondents on how they measure and calculate market risk under the regulatory capital rules. The Board’s market risk rule applies to state member banks (SMBs), bank holding companies (BHCs), covered savings and loan holding companies (covered SLHCs), and intermediate holding companies (IHCs) with aggregate reported trading assets and trading liabilities equal to or greater than 10 percent of quarter-end total assets or $1 billion (collectively, Board-regulated respondents). Board-regulated respondents must file the FFIEC 102 quarterly with the Board.

Abstract

The information collected serves to identify and develop safety countermeasures that will reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. These Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies -- Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), Special Crash Investigations (SCI), and Special Studies (SS) -- involve voluntary information collections through which NHTSA collects detailed data on real world motor vehicle crashes. Specifically, these systems collect data on vehicle safety system performance, occupant injury information including their kinematic interaction with interior components and scene geometry, marking and traffic controls. Respondents are police agencies that collect information on police-reported motor vehicle crashes, employees of tow yards where crashed vehicles are stored, people involved in these crashes, and hospitals with medical records for the people injured in the crash. For the standard investigation-based crash data studies acquisition process, once a crash has been selected for investigation, crash technicians or investigators locate, visit, measure, and photograph the crash scene; locate, inspect, and photograph vehicles; conduct a telephone or personal interview with the involved individuals or surrogate (another person who can provide occupant or crash information, such as parents for minor, or a parent or spouse for decreased individual); and obtain and record crash injury information received from various medical data sources. These information collections support NHTSA’s mission to save lives and prevent injuries due to traffic crashes. The data collected from these systems are used to describe and analyze circumstances, mechanisms, and consequences of serious motor vehicle crashes in the United States. Additionally, these data are used by NHTSA to identify the primary factors related to the source of crashes and their injury outcomes, develop and evaluate effective safety countermeasures, the establishment and enforcement of motor vehicle regulations, that reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58) (IIJA) was signed into law. The Crash Data section (section 24108) of the IIJA authorizes the Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by delegation) to use funds to enhance the collection of data under CISS by, among other things, including additional data collection sites. As a result of the additional funding provided by the IIJA, in addition to the expansion of data collection from the last modification, NHTSA now plans to phase in 17 additional data collection sites in CISS over the next 3 years. The total data collection sites will incrementally increase from 56 to 73 over the next three years. NHTSA is now accounting for the increases in burden hours for interviewees, police, tow yards and medical facilities for an additional 17 data collection sites. The increase in burden hours and cost for these additional data collection sites are reflected in the Burden to Respondent section of this document. The current approval for Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies collection indicated a total annual 12,063 burden hours; this request increases the total annual burden hours to 17,521. The request for the collection of information is revised due to increasing the number of crashes investigated by Crash Technicians for 2025 and future years for CISS program. The combined impact is an increase of 5,458 total annual burden hours.
