Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program and Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program Modifications

Key Information

Abstract

This submission seeks approval for new collections, and revisions to existing collections proposed in an Interim Final Rule on October 3, 2025 (90 Fed. Reg. 47969-47982) concerning the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) regulation 49 CFR Part 26 and the Airport Concession DBE (ACDBE) program regulations 49 CFR Part 23. This information collection modifies, in part, the DBE program collection instruments listed in OMB Control No. 2105-0586 (issued May 8, 2024). It also adds to this Control Number the existing collection instruments that were previously listed in OMB Control No. 2105-0585 (issued November 8, 2022), to the extent that those collection instruments are still retained as part of the Department’s DBE and ACDBE regulations and are not duplicative of collection instruments accounted for as part of this Control. As a result, DOT discontinued OMB Control No. 2105-0585. This interim final rule (IFR) ensures that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT or Department) operates its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) Programs (collectively, Programs) in a nondiscriminatory fashion--in line with law and the U.S. Constitution. The IFR removes race- and sex-based presumptions of social and economic disadvantage that violates the U.S. Constitution.

Attending Physician’s Certification of Continuing Workers’ Compensation Disability

Key Information

Abstract

The information collected on OWCP Form CA-21 will be used by claims examiners for OWCP to determine eligibility for and the computation of benefits. The claimant will use this form to obtain medical documentation from the attending physician to support continued disability. The attending physician completes this form based on their examination of the claimant. The medical evidence is used to determine whether the claimant is entitled to continued compensation for disability for work. The work capacity noted by the attending physician will be used by rehabilitation specialists and nurses to assist partially disabled employees to return to suitable employment. Without the requested information, entitlements to an eligible beneficiary could be denied or delayed, or benefits could be authorized at an incorrect rate, resulting in an underpayment or overpayment of compensation.

Defined Benefit Plan Annual Funding Notice

Key Information

Abstract

In 2012, Congress enacted the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). The law provides funding interest rate stabilization for single employer defined benefit (DB) plans, effective for plan years beginning on and after January 1, 2012. MAP-21 set a floor (or ceiling) for the interest rates that single employer defined benefit plan administrators generally are required to use to calculate contributions. Under the rules, the generally required interest rates are limited to rates that are within a specified range, or corridor, above or below a 25-year average for the rates. The Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014 (MPRA), Public Law 113-235 (2014), added new disclosure requirements to section 101(f)(2)(B) of ERISA relating to the new multiemployer funding classification of “critical and declining status.” A plan is in critical and declining status if it is in critical status and is projected to become insolvent with 15 years (or within 20 years if a special rule applies). MPRA requires the annual funding notice of critical and declining status plans to include the projected date of insolvency; a clear statement that such insolvency may result in benefit reductions; and a statement describing whether the plan sponsor has taken legally permitted actions to prevent insolvency. These requirements were added to the final regulation and the multiemployer plan model notice to reflect the MPRA amendments to ERISA section 101(f) and are included in the hour burden to complete that notice. MPRA requires the annual funding notice of critical and declining status plans to include the projected date of insolvency; a clear statement that such insolvency may result in benefit reductions; and a statement describing whether the plan sponsor has taken legally permitted actions to prevent insolvency. These requirements were added to the final regulation and the multiemployer plan model notice to reflect the MPRA amendments to ERISA section 101(f). On February 2, 2015, the Department published final rules implementing ERISA section 101(f). As required by statute, the final rule requires the plan administrator of a defined benefit pension plan that is subject to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's Insurance Program to furnish a funding notice annually to participants, beneficiaries, labor organizations representing such participants or beneficiaries, employers obligated to make contributions to a multiemployer plan, and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). Large plans must furnish the notice by the 120th day following the end of the plan year to which the notice relates. A small plan may furnish a funding notice on or before the due date, with extensions, of the plan's Form 5500 Annual Return/Report filed with the Department.

Key Information

Abstract

Rules 15Aa-1 and 15Aa-2 requires applications for registration as a national securities association and currently registered national securities associations to complete Form 15A. The Commission adopted amendments to its rules to re-number Form X-15AA-1 as Form 15A and to repeal Form X-15AJ-1 and Form X-15AJ-2 and incorporate those information requirements into new Form 15A. The amendments also included in a new electronic submission requirement for Form 15A. The Commission subsequently adopted a final rule to extend the compliance date for the Form 15A electronic submission requirement to allow additional time for the orderly transition from paper to electronic filing.

Consent to Receive Employee Benefit Plan Disclosures Electronically

Key Information

Abstract

The Department's 2002 regulatory safe harbor at 29 CFR 2520.104b-1(c) describes the circumstances under which the administrator of an employee benefit plan may furnish required disclosure documents through electronic media. The information collection contains a disclosure requirement and a requirement that participants affirmatively consent to electronic disclosure or confirm consent electronically. The consent serves to demonstrate to the plan administrator that an individual has the ability to access information in the electronic form that will be used for disclosure purposes. Such confirmation will ensure the compatibility of the hardware and software between the individual and the plan, and will also serve to demonstrate that the administrator has taken appropriate and necessary measures reasonably calculated to ensure that the system for furnishing documents results in actual receipt, as required under ERISA. Lastly, where applicable, the consent provides a means for the individual to provide the plan with the correct email address to facilitate the efficiencies that may arise from the use of electronic technologies where appropriate. In 2020, the Department issued a final rule providing a safe harbor (Notice-and-Access Safe Harbor) for plan administrators who wish to satisfy ERISA's delivery requirements for retirement plan documents by posting them on a website and notifying workers of the online availability of such documents (29 CFR 2520.104b-31). Retirement plan administrators may satisfy their obligation to furnish ERISA-required disclosures by making the information accessible online and furnishing a notice of internet availability of these disclosures to covered individuals. The notice of internet availability must be sent to the electronic address of the participant, for example to the participant's email address and include, among other things, a brief description of the document being posted online, a website address where the document is posted, and instructions for requesting a free paper copy or electing paper delivery in the future. It must be sent each time a retirement plan disclosure is posted to the internet website. To prevent “email overload,” the 2020 final rule allows a notice of internet availability to incorporate or combine other notices of internet availability in limited circumstances.

FERC-923, Communication of Operational Information between Natural Gas Pipelines and Electric Transmission Operators

Key Information

Abstract

Natural gas continues to be the single largest fuel source for electricity generation in the United States. This trend is expected to continue, resulting in greater interdependence between the natural gas and electric industries. Several events over the last few years demonstrated the crucial interconnection between natural gas pipelines and electric transmission operators and the need for robust communication between these industry sectors to ensure that both systems operate safely and effectively for the benefit of their customers. The applicable regulations are in 18 CFR: • Section 38.2, which applies to any public utility that owns, operates, or controls facilities used for the transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce; and • Section 284.12(b)(4)(i), which applies to any interstate pipeline. These regulations authorize public utilities providing transmission service and interstate natural gas pipelines to share non-public, operational information when such information is for the purpose of promoting reliable service or operational planning.

Rural Education Achievement Program: Small, Rural School Achievement Program and Rural and Low-Income School Program Application

Key Information

Abstract

The Department administers two formula grant programs under Title V, Part B (Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP)) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA): the Small, Rural School Achievement (SRSA) program, administered by the Department, which makes awards directly to local educational agencies (LEAs); and the Rural and Low-Income School (RLIS) program, awarded by the Department to State Educational Agencies (SEAs), which then make awards to and administer the program for LEAs. The Department may also make RLIS awards directly to LEAs in States that do not submit an approvable RLIS application to the Department. These LEAs that apply directly to the Department for RLIS funding are known as Specially Qualified Agencies (SQAs). The information provided to the Department enables the Department to make eligibility determinations for LEAs and to calculate formula allocations for each eligible LEA. Form 1 consists of the REAP Eligibility Spreadsheet through which SEAs provide to the Department eligibility and allocation data for both the RLIS and SRSA programs. Form 2 consists of the application package for LEAs under the SRSA program. Form 3 consists of the application package for SQAs under the RLIS program. This is a request for extension of the current information collection package (OMB #1810-0646), updated for the future fiscal years in which the collection would apply.

Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) ACF-700: Tribal Annual Report

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Child Care (OCC), Administration for Children and Families, requires Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Tribal Lead Agencies (TLAs) to report annual aggregate data on children and families served in Tribal programs using the ACF-700 Tribal Annual Report form. This report is required by 42 U.S.C. 9857, and sections 98.70 and 98.71 of the CCDF Final Rule (45 CFR Parts 98 and 99). Information collected is included in the biennial CCDF Report to Congress, as appropriate, and shared with TLAs to show CCDF or Child Care and Development Block Grant-funded (CCDBG) activities in other tribal programs. CCDF-funded grantees that receive funding under Pub. L. 102-477 and report to the Department of Labor (OMB #1076-0135) are not required to submit an ACF-700 form. OMB approval for the previous version of the ACF-700 expired on March 31, 2026. OCC did not seek renewal prior to the form’s expiration and took sufficient time to streamline the collection and reduce administrative burden. ACF must move forward to seek reinstatement of the revised prior to the reporting deadline which is due at the end of FY2026. Delays in reinstatement of this information collection could prevent OCC from collecting data in a timely manner and supporting reporting requirements that are statutorily required.

Rule 17g-2 Records to be made and retained by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 17g-2 implements certain statutory provisions of the Credit Rating Agency Reform Act of 2006 by requiring a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or "NRSRO" to make and retain certain records relating to its business and to retain certain other business records, if such records are made. The rule also prescribes the time periods and manner in which all these records must be retained. The collections of information in Rule 17g-2 are designed to allow the Commission to determine whether an NRSRO continues to meet the requirements for registration and is complying with applicable laws and regulations. In particular, the collections of information in Rule 17g-2 will assist the Commission in effectively monitoring, through its examination function, whether an NRSRO is conducting its activities in accordance with Section 15E of the Exchange Act, and applicable Exchange Act rules under the Rating Agency Act.

Form SF-3

Key Information

Abstract

The Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) was designed to prevent misrepresentation, deceit, and other fraudulent acts and practices in the sale of securities. Section 5 of the Securities Act requires that a registration statement be filed before any security is publicly offered, and that the registration statement be effective before any security is sold. Section 7 and Schedule A of the Securities Act outline the information that must be contained in a registration statement. Section 7 gives the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) the authority to vary such disclosure for various classes of issuers and securities. The Commission has used its statutory authority to develop a number of specialized registration statement forms that tailor disclosure requirements based on the type of offering, issuer, or other parameters, thereby eliminating burdensome and unnecessary requirements while maintaining investor protection. Form SF-3 (17 CFR 239.45) is the form used to register a shelf offering of asset-backed securities (“ABS”). The Commission requires ABS issuers to use Form SF-3 for shelf offerings—rather than Form S-3 (17 CFR 239.13)—because the process, criteria, and disclosure for shelf offerings of ABS differs from other types of securities offerings.

Requirements Related to Surprise Billing: Qualifying Payment Amount, Notice and Consent, Disclosure on Patient Protections Against Balance Billing, and State Law Opt-in (CMS-10780)

Key Information

Abstract

On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116-260), which included the No Surprises Act, was signed into law. The No Surprises Act provides federal protections against surprise billing and limits out-of-network cost sharing under many of the circumstances in which surprise medical bills arise most frequently. The 2021 interim final regulations “Requirements Related to Surprise Billing; Part I” (2021 interim final regulations) issued by the Departments of Health and Humans Services, the Department of Labor, the Department of Treasury, and the Office of Personnel Management, implement provisions of the No Surprises Act that apply to group health plans, health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage, and carriers in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program that provide protections against balance billing and out-of-network cost sharing with respect to emergency services, non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at certain participating health care facilities, and air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers of air ambulance services. The 2021 interim final regulations prohibit nonparticipating providers, emergency facilities, and providers of air ambulance services from balance billing participants, beneficiaries, and enrollees in certain situations unless they satisfy certain notice and consent requirements. The No Surprises Act and the 2021 interim final regulations require group health plans and issuers of health insurance coverage to provide information about qualifying payment amounts to nonparticipating providers and facilities and to provide disclosures on patient protections against balance billing to participants, beneficiaries and enrollees. Self-insured plans opting in to State law are required to provide a disclosure to participants. Certain nonparticipating providers and nonparticipating emergency facilities may are provide participants, beneficiaries, and enrollees with notice and obtain their consent to waive balance billing protections, provided certain requirements are met. In addition, certain providers and facilities are required to provide disclosures on patient protections against balance billing to participants, beneficiaries and enrollees.

On-Line Architectural Barriers Act Complaint Form

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Access Board is statutorily charged with enforcing the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), which is aimed at ensuring that federal and federally-funded (non-government) buildings and facilities (such as schools, public housing, and public transit facilities) are accessible to individuals with disabilities. Any individual who is are concerned about the accessibility of an ABA-covered building or facility may file a complaint with the Access Board. The agency investigates each ABA complaint and, if violations are found, works with the agency to remedy the accessibility barriers. ABA complaints can be filed any one of several ways, but, the Online ABA Complaint Form is - by far - the most popular mode. The online form is user-friendly and promotes greater efficiency, clarity, and timeliness in the filing of ABA complaints. The online form contains fields that prompt users to provide the information needed by the agency to evaluate ABA jurisdiction and conduct investigations, such as the building’s name or address and brief description of accessibility barriers encountered. Complainants may optionally upload digital photos or other materials to support their complaints. The online form does not require entry of personal information for complaint submission; ABA complaints may be submitted anonymously. However, individuals who wish to be kept informed of the status or resolution of their complaint must, at minimum, provide some type of contact information (i.e., email address, phone number, mailing address). By regulation, any personal information provided by ABA complainants remains strictly confidential absent written permission for disclosure.

Form SF-1

Key Information

Abstract

The Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) was enacted in order to provide full and fair disclosure with respect to publicly offered securities and to prevent fraud in connection with such offerings. The Securities Act carries out this purpose by requiring the filing of a registration statement in connection with public distributions of securities by issuers and their control persons. Schedule A of the Securities Act specifies the general types of information that must be disclosed in registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Commission has authority, under Section 19 of the Securities Act, to promulgate rules to carry out the provisions of the Securities Act. Form SF-1 (17 CFR 239.44) is the form used to register an offering of asset-backed securities (“ABS”). The Commission requires ABS issuers to use Form SF-1 for offerings of ABS—rather than Form S-1 (17 CFR 239.11)—because the process, criteria, and disclosure for registered offerings of ABS differs from other types of securities offerings.

Specimen Resource Location (SRL) NCI

Key Information

Abstract

Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and National Cancer Institute (NCI) seek to obtain OMB approval for an EXTENSION of the Specimen Resource Locator (SRL) collection for an additional three (3) years. The availability of specimens and associated data is critical to increase our knowledge of cancer biology and to translate important research discoveries into clinical applications. The discovery and validation of cancer prevention markers require access, by researchers, to quality clinical biospecimens. In response to this need, the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Cancer Diagnosis Program has developed and is expanding a searchable database: Specimen Resource Locator (SRL). The SRL allows scientists in the research community and the NCI to locate specimens needed for their research. The SRL lists non-commercial, either NCI or non-NCI-supported human biorepositories and their links. This administrative submission is an online form that collects information to manage and improve a program and its resources for the use of all scientists. This submission does not involve any hypothesis-driven analysis or research; only descriptive program-management metrics are used.

Declaration for Federal Employment (OF 306)

Key Information

Abstract

The Declaration for Federal Employment Optional Form (OF) 306 is completed by applicants who are under consideration for Federal or Federal contract employment. It collects information about an applicant's selective service registration, military service, and general background. The information collected on this form is mainly used to determine a person's acceptability for Federal and Federal contract employment, and his or her retirement status and life insurance enrollment. The information on this form may be used in conducting an investigation to determine a person's suitability or ability to hold a security clearance, and it may be disclosed to authorized officials making similar, subsequent determinations. The OF 306 asks for personal identifying data and information about violations of the law past convictions, imprisonments, probations, parole, military court martial, delinquency on a Federal debt, Selective Service Registration, United States military service, Federal civilian or military retirement benefits received or applied for, and life insurance enrollment. Finally, the Fair Chance Act regulations will outline adverse action procedures that will apply when it is alleged that an agency employee has violated the requirements and appeal procedures that will be available from a determination by OPM adverse to the Federal employee. OPM is proposing these changes to implement the Fair Chance to Compete for Jobs Act of 2019 (Fair Chance Act). With some exceptions, the Fair Chance Act prohibits Federal agencies and Federal contractors acting on their behalf from requesting that an applicant for Federal employment disclose criminal history record information before the agency makes a conditional offer of employment to that applicant.
