Class I Railroad Annual Report

Key Information

Abstract

Under 49 U.S.C. 11145, annual reports are required to be filed by Class I [large] railroads (currently, seven). The Class I annual reports are used to monitor and assess railroad industry growth, financial stability, traffic, and operations and to identify industry changes that may affect national transportation policy. Reports are also used to fulfill various statutory requirements under the Interstate Commerce Act, based on standard accounting and reporting requirements. In a final rule published May 8, 2026, the Board modified this information collection to eliminate supplemental reporting of certain Positive Train Control (PTC) expenditures, but the remainder of the collection remains.

Class I Carrier Weekly Service Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

Rail service reliability is essential to the economy, and the Board prioritizes monitoring rail service for emerging issues so that it can act promptly to address them. The Board has broad authority to require reports by rail carriers, 49 U.S.C. 11145, and it collects a range of data from Class I carriers that allows the Board and stakeholders to monitor railroad performance. The Board’s experience has shown that ongoing, standardized reporting of data allows the Board to observe long-term trends and assess changes in service levels, enabling it to take early action to address potential concerns. Therefore, in a NPRM, the Board proposes weekly Class I carrier reporting of two additional service metrics: an original estimated time of arrival (OETA) metric and an industry spot and pull (ISP) metric. Reporting of these metrics would allow the Board to better monitor service reliability and address possible future regional and national service lapses.

U.S. Customs Declaration

Key Information

Abstract

CBP Form 6059B, Customs Declaration, is used as a standard report of the identity and residence of each person arriving in the United States. This form is also used to declare imported articles to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in accordance with 19 CFR 122.27, 148.12, 148.13, 148.110, 148.111; 31 U.S.C. 5316 and Section 498 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1498). Section 148.13 of the CBP regulations prescribes the use of the CBP Form 6059B when a written declaration is required of a traveler entering the United States. Generally, written declarations are required from travelers arriving by air or sea. Section 148.12 requires verbal declarations from travelers entering the United States. Generally, verbal declarations are required from travelers arriving by land. CBP continues to find ways to improve the entry process through the use of mobile technology to ensure it is safe and efficient. To that end, CBP is testing the operational effectiveness of a process which allows travelers to use a mobile app to submit information to CBP prior to arrival. This process, called Mobile Passport Control (MPC) which is a mobile app that allows travelers to self-segment upon arrival into the United States — a process also known as intelligent queuing. The submission of information in advance using MPC allows CBP to direct travelers to the appropriate queue in primary or self-segment directly to secondary if additional inspection is necessary. The continued testing also helps determine under what circumstances CBP should require a written customs declaration (CBP Form 6059B) and when it is beneficial to admit travelers who make an oral customs declaration during the primary inspection. MPC eliminates the administrative tasks performed by the officer during a traditional inspection and in most cases will eliminate the need for respondents/travelers to fill out a paper declaration. MPC provides a more efficient and secure in person inspection between the CBP Officer and the traveler. Another electronic process that CBP is testing in lieu of the paper 6059B is the Automated Passport Control (APC). This is a CBP program that facilitates the entry process for travelers by providing self-service kiosks in CBP’s Primary Inspection area that travelers can use to make their declaration. Both APC and MPC allow an electronic method for travelers to answer the questions that appear on form 6059B without filling out a paper form.

Cash Management Contract URL Collection

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Education (the Department) is seeking an extension of OMB control number 1845-0147 for the collection of URLs hosting institutional contracts and contract data relating to campus banking agreements. The regulatory sections for this collection include 34 CFR 668.164(e)(2)(viii) and 34 CFR 668.164(f)(4)(iii)(B), are unchanged. The Department and the public have a strong interest in knowing the terms of marketing contracts of the millions of students receiving millions of dollars in Federal student aid. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) strongly supports providing important consumer information to students and the public, as evidenced in several parts of the law. The increased transparency will help ensure accountability and encourage institutional practices that are in the interest of students.

Add-On Payments for New Medical Services and Technologies Paid Under the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) (CMS-10638)

Key Information

Abstract

Sections 1886(d) (5) (K) and (L) of the Act establish a process of identifying and ensuring adequate payment for new medical services and technologies (sometimes collectively referred to in this section as ‘‘new technologies’’) under the IPPS. Section1886(d)(5)(K)(vi) of the Act specifies that a medical service or technology will be considered new if it meets criteria established by the Secretary after notice and opportunity for public comment. Section 1886(d)(5)(K)(ii)(I) of the Act specifies that a new medical service or technology may be considered for new technology add-on payment if, ‘‘based on the estimated costs incurred with respect to discharges involving such service or technology, the DRG prospective payment rate otherwise applicable to such discharges under this subsection is inadequate.’’ The regulations at 42 CFR 412.87 implement these provisions and specify three criteria for a new medical service or technology to receive the additional payment: (1) The medical service or technology must be new; (2) the medical service or technology must be costly such that the DRG rate otherwise applicable to discharges involving the medical service or technology is determined to be inadequate; and (3) the service or technology must demonstrate a substantial clinical improvement over existing services or technologies.

Highly Migratory Species Tournament Registration and Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requests the approval of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a revision and extension of the existing collection of information under OMB Control Number 0648-0323 for Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Tournament Registration and Reporting. Fishing tournaments are defined as any fishing competition in which participants must register or otherwise enter or in which a prize or award is offered for catching or landing fish. Regulations at 50 CFR 635.5(d) require that all fishing tournaments targeting HMS that are conducted out of ports in Atlantic coastal states, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, must register with NMFS at least 4 weeks prior to the start of the event. These events must also report on their catch and fishing effort, as measured by the number of participating vessels and hours fished per day, by the 7th day following the conclusion of the event. NMFS is implementing several modifications to the tournament registration and reporting forms, including, but not limited to: 1) updating the target species list in the tournament registration form, 2) reporting vessel effort by state residency status (in-state vs. out-of-state participants), 3) reporting of bluefin tuna catch by size class, 4) clarifying the species for which tournament operators are required to report individual lengths and weights in their post-tournament catch reports, and 5) adding questions regarding the depredation of tournament catch by sharks, other fish, or marine animals.

Generic Clearance for the Collection of Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) Respondent “Pulse” Feedback (CMS-10948)

Key Information

Abstract

This generic clearance will provide a proactive, streamlined process for the rapid collection of data via a new tool, the MCBS Pulse, that will allow CMS to collect time-sensitive data (“Pulse” feedback) from beneficiaries on emerging topics of interest or feedback on the program. By leveraging the MCBS framework already in place, this mechanism will efficiently deliver new information that focuses on capturing beneficiary knowledge, practice, perspectives, and opinions about various topics of importance to CMS programs, thereby improving program planning and reducing administrative complexity. Data collection may also inform early question development efforts that would be further tested under the existing MCBS generic clearance (0938-1275) and would inform potential future topics for the MCBS and other CMS-administered surveys.

State-based Marketplace Annual Reporting Tool (SMART) (CMS-10507)

Key Information

Abstract

The Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA creates new competitive private health insurance markets - referred to as State-based Marketplaces (SBMs) - that will give millions of Americans and small businesses access to affordable healthcare coverage. HHS provides oversight and monitoring of SBMs to ensure they maintain adequate operational systems. Effective and efficient oversight of Marketplaces will help ensure that affordable and quality health coverage is available to all Americans through monitoring, reporting, and oversight of financial and other Marketplace activities. The SMAR is the primary vehicle to insure comprehensive compliance with all reporting requirements contained in the ACA and applicable Federal Regulations. It is specifically called for in Section 1313(a)(1) of the Act which requires an SBM to keep an accurate accounting of all activities, receipts, and expenditures, and to submit a report annually to the Secretary concerning such accounting. Instructions governing specific facets of the activities covered by the report are contained both in the Act and in various sections of applicable Federal Regulations. CMS has designed the SMAR to reduce the data collection to the maximum extent possible. While it is intended as a comprehensive compliance review to ensure SBM are fulfilling their statutory requirements, very little additional data gathering is required to complete the form. The respondents can answer most questions by attestations and uploading existing documents. Respondents complete the report entirely online.

Notification of Substantial Risk of Injury to Health and the Environment under TSCA Section 8(e) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 8(e) states, any person who manufactures, [imports,] processes, or distributes in commerce a chemical substance or mixture and who obtains information which reasonably supports the conclusion that such substance or mixture presents a substantial risk of injury to health or the environment shall immediately inform the [EPA] Administrator of such information unless such person has actual knowledge that the Administrator has been adequately informed of such information. (15 U.S.C. 2607(e); see Ref.1.) EPA receives and screens TSCA section 8(e) submissions including a wide range of chemical toxicity/exposure information on numerous chemical substances and mixtures. Although EPAs receipt of TSCA section 8(e) information does not necessarily trigger immediate regulatory action under TSCA or other authorities administered by EPA, all TSCA section 8(e) submissions receive screening level evaluations by EPAs Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) to identify priorities for further Agency action and appropriate referrals to other programs. EPA offers an electronic reporting option for those required to submit a notification of substantial risk under TSCA section 8(e) and those who wish to voluntarily submit For Your Information (FYI) notices by registering and submitting information electronically using the Agency's Central Data Exchange (CDX). TSCA section 8(e) data on newly discovered chemical hazards/risks are available via EPAs ChemView website (https://chemview.epa.gov/chemview).

Request for Contractor Access to TSCA Confidential Business Information (CBI) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) procures contract support to facilitate the performance of certain duties. EPA may require contractors to handle Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Confidential Business Information (CBI). Each contractor employee who will use TSCA CBI in the performance of his or her duties must be authorized for access to TSCA CBI through a multi-step process. The TSCA CBI Protection Manual (EPA Publication 7700 A2, revised October 2003; see Ref. 2) provides Federal and contractor employees with guidelines and operating procedures for handling TSCA CBI while performing their official duties, as well as the procedures to obtain authorization for access to TSCA CBI. Specifically, for purposes of this information collection, contractor personnel must submit to EPA the EPA form titled TSCA CBI Access Request, Agreement, and Approval (EPA Form 7740-6; Attachment 1). The Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), uses EPA Form 7740-6 to collect information about contractor personnel so that the Agency can evaluate their suitability for access to TSCA CBI. EPA stores the information on the OPPT Chemical Information System (CIS).

International Direct Deposit

Key Information

Abstract

International Direct Deposit (IDD) Program allows beneficiaries living abroad to receive their payments via direct deposit to an account at a financial institution outside the United States. SSA uses Form SSA–1199-(Country) to enroll Title II beneficiaries residing abroad in IDD, and to obtain the direct deposit information for foreign accounts. Routing account number information varies slightly for each foreign country, so we use a variation of the Treasury Department’s Form SF–1199A for each country. The respondents are Social Security beneficiaries residing abroad who want SSA to deposit their Title II benefit payments directly to a foreign financial institution.

Submission of Protocols and Study Reports for Environmental Research Involving Human Subjects (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The EPA is responsible for the regulation of pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). Based on this regulation EPA aims to assess the risks of exposure based on studies that may occasionally use humans. Specifically, the EPA regulations at 40 CFR 26 protect subjects of third-party human research (i.e., research that is not conducted or supported by the EPA) that may be submitted to EPA in support of pesticide product registration and/or labeling or conducted to provide data for generic exposure databases. In addition to other protections, the regulations require affected entities to submit information to EPA and an institutional review board (IRB) prior to initiating, and to the EPA upon the completion of, certain studies that involve human research participants. The information collection activity consists of activity-driven reporting and recordkeeping requirements for those who intend to conduct research for submission to EPA under the pesticide laws. If such research involves intentional exposure of human subjects, these individuals (respondents) are required to submit study protocols to the EPA and an IRB before such research is initiated so that the scientific design and ethical standards that will be employed during the proposed study may be reviewed and approved. Also, respondents are required to submit information about the ethical conduct of completed research that involved human subjects when such research is submitted to the EPA. As such, the purpose of this document is to estimate the third-party response burden from complying with the requirements in 40 CFR 26.

Representative Payee Evaluation Report

Key Information

Abstract

SSA uses the Representative Payee Evaluation Report, Form SSA-624-F5, as a documentation tool for interviews with, and evaluations of, representative payees. SSA requires our field offices (FO) to conduct a face-to-face interview with the representative payee using Form SSA-624-F5 when: (1) SSA finds the payee’s responses on SSA-required annual accounting reports [Forms SSA-623, SSA 6230, and SSA-6234 (OMB No. 0960 0068)] unacceptable, and we cannot resolve them; (2) the payee fails to complete SSA’s initial and second request for an annual accounting report; or (3) assessing the representative payee’s continued suitability. In addition to the representative payee, we also interview the beneficiary or SSI recipient, and custodian (if other than the payee) to confirm information the payee provides, and to ensure the payee is meeting the beneficiary’s or SSI recipient’s current needs (face to-face interview not required). The respondents are individuals or organizations serving as representative payees for individuals receiving Title II benefits or Title XVI payments who fail to comply with SSA’s statutory annual reporting requirement, SSA beneficiaries or recipients, and third-party custodians.

SNAP-ED National Program Evaluation and Reporting System (N-PEARS)

Key Information

Abstract

To gain Federally allocated SNAP-Ed grants to conduct SNAP-Ed activities every year, such as nutrition education and obesity prevention services, States must submit a SNAP-Ed State Plan and a SNAP-Ed Annual Report. The SNAP-Ed State Plan must be created based on SNAP-Ed Plan Guidance (https://snaped.fns.usda.gov/program-administration/snap-ed-plan-guidance-and-templates) and then reviewed and approved by FNS Regional Offices before SNAP-Ed funding can be utilized. The information contained in SNAP-Ed State Plans and Annual Reports is used by FNS to determine whether SNAP-Ed Program resources are being maximized, and whether State SNAP agencies have produced a persuasive and data-driven needs evaluation of nutrition, physical activity, and obesity prevention needs of the target population and their barriers to obtaining healthy foods and physical activity in the State SNAP-Ed Plan. Furthermore, the information is necessary to ensure integrity of SNAP-Ed funds, demonstrate program effectiveness, and track SNAP-Ed outcomes and impacts.
