Agreement for Shipments of Devices for Sterilization

Key Information

Abstract

Nonsterile medical devices that are labeled as sterile but are in interstate transit to a facility to be sterilized are normally considered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be adulterated and misbranded. FDA regulations established a control mechanism by which firms may manufacture and label medical devices as "sterile" at one establishment and ship the devices in interstate commerce for actual sterilization at another establishment, a practice that facilitates the processing of devices and is economically necessary for some firms. Manufacturers and sterilizers may sign an agreement containing instructions for maintaining accountability of the number of units in each shipment, acknowledgment that the devices are nonsterile and are being shipped for further processing, and specifications for the product's sterilization processing. This agreement allows the manufacturer to ship adulterated or misbranded products to be sterilized without initiating regulatory action and provides FDA with a means to protect consumers from use of nonsterile products. The agreement must include: (a) Instructions for maintaining accountability of the number of units in each shipment; (b) acknowledgment that the devices are nonsterile, being shipped for further processing; and (c) specifications for sterilization processing. These agreements must be retained for two years, as FDA may review them up to two years after final shipment or delivery of devices.

Tribal Enrollment Count

Key Information

Abstract

Enrollment data is an important source of information which allows the Indian Affairs and other Federal agencies to equitably distribute resources because it is a quantifiable representation of a Tribe’s population. Different population sizes generally require different levels of services and resources. BIA must collect this information to ensure effective, accurate, and timely distribution of assistance to respond to funds specifically appropriated for Indian Country, where applicable. This data will assist Federal agencies in developing distribution formulas for funds under annual appropriations, Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (P. L. 117-169), or Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P.L. 117-58).

Tobacco Products, Exemptions From Substantial Equivalence Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

FDA has established in its regulations a pathway for manufacturers to request exemptions from the substantial equivalence requirements of the FD&C Act. An exemption request must be submitted with supporting documentation, the manufacturer's contact information, and a detailed explanation of the modification and its purpose. This information is submitted to FDA so FDA can determine whether an exemption from substantial equivalence to the predicate product is appropriate for the protection of the public health. FDA determines whether to grant or deny the request for an exemption based on whether the criteria in the statute have been satisfied. If FDA determines that the information is insufficient, FDA may request additional information from the manufacturer. If the manufacturer fails to respond within the timeframe requested, FDA will consider the exemption request withdrawn. FDA may rescind an exemption where necessary to protect the public health. FDA may exempt tobacco products that are modified by adding or deleting a tobacco additive, or increasing or decreasing the quantity of an existing tobacco additive, from the requirement of demonstrating substantial equivalence if the Agency determines that (1) the modification would be a minor modification of a tobacco product, (2) a report demonstrating substantial equivalence is not necessary for the protection of public health, and (3) an exemption is otherwise appropriate.

National Roadside Survey of Alcohol and Drug Prevalence of Road Users: 2025

Key Information

Abstract

National Roadside Surveys (NRSs) are a central tool in understanding alcohol- and drug-involved driving. Starting in 1973, roadside surveys of drivers on the road have estimated the population-level prevalence of drinking and driving in the United States. The core methodology has continued across decades, but NHTSA has initiated improvements. The number of sites has increased, drugs of interest have been modified to reflect use across the country, and advances in technology have impacted how data can be collected and specimens analyzed. Conducting an NRS on a periodic basis (e.g., about every 10 years) allows NHTSA to examine the prevalence of alcohol and drug use among drivers, and trends across survey years. Given States are legalizing medicinal and/or recreational use of cannabis, and other issues such as the apparent increase in opioid use in the U.S., more information is needed on the level of alcohol- and drug-involved driving to better inform NHTSA’s countermeasure development. Roadside surveys provide objective measures of alcohol and drugs in drivers’ systems when they are actually driving. These measures are based on results from breath tests and oral fluid samples collected using established protocols. Analyses of these specimens allow for the quantitative determination of alcohol and drug levels. Learning more about alcohol and other drug prevalence among road users other than drivers is new to this NRS. These other road users (ORUs) include pedestrians, bicyclists, scooterists, and those using mobility aids. NHTSA will conduct two studies. Study 1 will focus on drivers but include convenience sampling of ORUs passing by the data collection locations. Study 2 is a pilot test assessing the feasibility of a NRS specific to ORUs. Both will collect breath and oral fluid specimens, demographic information, and self-report questionnaire data on roads across the country. Participation will be voluntary and anonymous. Study protocols will be reviewed by a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services-approved IRB. The only personal identifiable information (PII) collected is oral fluid. No DNA analyses will be conducted on the oral fluid specimens. These will only be analyzed for the presence of alcohol and other drugs, and specimens will be destroyed after the study is complete. The results will be reported in aggregate form in research reports. NHTSA anticipates obtaining a Certificate of Confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Study 1 / National Roadside Survey. This request is a voluntary, one-time survey. This survey follows the prior NRS methodology but additionally includes recruiting ORUs who are passing by data collection locations. Data collection will occur in 60 primary sampling units (PSUs) using 5 locations at each PSU (300 locations total). There will be a single data collection event at each location. The biological samples will be sent to a toxicology lab for testing of the presence of alcohol and other drugs. Participants’ responses to survey questions on the use of drugs and traffic safety-related behaviors and attitudes will also be analyzed. Study 2 / Pilot Test for Other Road Users. Study 2 examines the viability of a stand-alone roadside survey focused solely on ORUs. This effort uses 20 new data collection locations, inclusive of 4 PSUs with 5 locations each. This effort is to inform NHTSA on the feasibility of such a targeted roadside survey and to determine the level of effort to execute a nationwide study of ORUs. The same procedures as Study 1 will be used. NHTSA will use the information from both studies to produce technical reports presenting the findings. The technical reports will provide only aggregate (summary) statistics and tables; no PII will be retained or reported. The Study 1 technical report is for audiences interested in traffic safety. The information from Study 2 will also be used by NHTSA in consideration of research on ORUs.

West Coast Groundfish Logbooks

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a revision and extension of a currently approved collection. The revision to this collection is to merge the federally mandated logbook requirement for non-trawl groundfish fisheries that occur in the exclusive economic zone off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California (0648-0804) into this control number. Once cleared by OMB, control number 0648-0804 will be discontinued. The success of fisheries management programs depends significantly on the availability of fishery data. Currently, the states of Washington and Oregon administer a trawl logbook on behalf of the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) and NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The state of California repealed their requirement, effective April 1, 2019, therefore, NMFS created a federal requirement in order to maintain logbook coverage from trawl vessels in California. The log used is a standard format developed by the Council to collect information necessary to effectively manage the fishery on a coast-wide basis. The trawl logbook collects haul-level effort data including tow time, tow location, depth of catch, net type, target strategy, and estimated pounds of fish retained per tow. Each trawl log represents a single fishing trip. Trawl logbook data is used in stock assessments, to evaluate spatial bycatch issues, and is used for fishery monitoring and enforcement. A federal non-trawl logbook was developed and implemented in 2023. Data collected in the non-trawl logbook contributes to stock assessments, informs managers about location-specific catch and discards on non-observed trips and vessels, supports economic analysis, and provides effort information to quantify groundfish fishery effort to allow more precise estimation of bycatch of with Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed species, such as seabirds and humpback whales. NMFS contracts with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) to distribute and collect the logbook. These data are used regularly by NMFS, the Pacific Fishery Management Council, the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program, NMFS Office of Law Enforcement, and the Coast Guard for fisheries management and enforcement.

Guidance on Meetings with Industry and Investigators on the Research and Development of Tobacco Products

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR is for a guidance intended to assist tobacco manufacturers, importers, researchers, and investigators, and their representatives who seek meetings with staff of FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). This guidance does not pertain to other types of meetings or meeting requests with CTP staff. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) offers several pathways to obtain an order from FDA to authorize the marketing of a new tobacco product before it may be introduced or delivered into interstate commerce. To provide assistance with these pathways to market products, FDA will meet with tobacco product manufacturers, importers, researchers, and investigators (or their representatives) where appropriate. This guidance is intended to assist persons who seek guidance relating to their research to inform the regulation of tobacco products or to support the development or marketing of tobacco products. This guidance describes two collections of information: (1) The submission of a meeting request containing certain information and (2) the submission of a meeting information package in advance of the meeting. The purpose of the meeting information package is to provide Agency staff the opportunity to adequately prepare for the meeting, including the review of relevant data concerning the product. In the Agency’s experience, reviewing such information is critical to achieving a productive meeting. For information that was previously submitted in a meeting request, the information package should provide updated information that reflects the most current and accurate information available.

Tobacco Health Document Submission

Key Information

Abstract

In the guidance document, FDA requests tobacco health document submissions from manufacturers and importers of tobacco products based on the statutory requirements and compliance dates. As indicated in the guidance, all manufacturers and importers of tobacco products are required to provide immediate and ongoing submission of health documents developed after June 22, 2009. However, FDA generally does not intend to enforce the requirement at this time with respect to all such health documents, so long as a specified set of documents, those developed between June 23, 2009, and December 31, 2009, are provided at least 90 days prior to the delivery for introduction of tobacco products into interstate commerce. Thereafter, manufacturers should preserve all health documents, including those that relate to products for further manufacturing and those developed after December 31, 2009, for future submission to FDA. Respondents submit information through a facilitative electronic form or in paper form using Form FDA 3743. In both forms, FDA requests information including: submitter identification, submitter point of contact, submission format and contents (as applicable), confirmation statement, document categorization (as applicable), document readability and accessibility, and document metadata. The information collected will inform FDA's regulatory processes and decision making such as, development of good manufacturing practices, review standards for new tobacco products, and regulation of modified risk tobacco products, among others.

Generic Clearance for Improving DASG’s APIs Customer Experience (CMS-10923)

Key Information

Abstract

The Agency will collect, analyze, and interpret information gathered through this generic clearance to identify services’ accessibility, navigation, and use by customers and make improvements in service delivery based on customer insights gathered through developing an understanding of the user experience interacting with the Government. For the purposes of this request, "customers" are individuals, businesses, and organizations that interact with a Federal Government agency or program, either directly or via a Federal contractor. "Service delivery" or "services" refers to the multitude of diverse interactions between a customer and a Federal agency, such as applying for a benefit or loan, receiving a service such as healthcare or small business counseling, requesting a document such as a passport or social security card, complying with a rule or regulation such as filing taxes or declaring goods, using resources such as a park or historical site, or seeking information such as public health or consumer protection notices. Under this request, two types of activities will be conducted to generate customer insights: Customer Research (E.g., User Persona and Journey Map Development): A critical first component of understanding the customer experience is to develop customer personas and journey maps. This process enables the Agency to more deeply understand the customer segments they serve and to organize the processes customers interact with throughout their engagement with the Federal entity to accomplish a task or meet a need. Customer Feedback Surveys: Surveys to be considered under this generic clearance will include those surveys modeled on the OMB Circular A-11 CX Feedback survey to improve customer service by collecting feedback at a specific point during a customer journey. This could include attending a CMS-sponsored conference, interacting with the Agency about software code questions for the relevant APIs, or experience with using the data the Agency provides.

Air Carrier Contract Maintenance Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

The request for clearance reflects requirements necessary under 14 CFR part 121 and part 135 to ensure safety of flight by making certain that all part 121 air carriers, and all part 135 air carriers with aircraft type certificated with a passenger seating configuration of 10 seats or more (excluding any pilot seat) update their required contract maintenance list in their manuals. It is mandatory that affected air carriers report this information monthly for the FAA to review. This information consists of who is performing maintenance on behalf of each affected air carrier, what type of maintenance is being performed, and the location(s) where the maintenance is performed. The information will be recorded in the FAA’s oversight tool, the Safety Assurance System (SAS), and used by the FAA to adequately target its inspection resources for surveillance and make accurate risk assessments. This is a renewal for this collection of information. FAA has used maintenance provider data from the previous collection, in part, to assist in development of new streamlined processes for safety oversight of contract maintenance. The newly designed oversight process is heavily dependent on this data collection, and will result in a more agile and efficient FAA workforce, which in turn will reduce the audit burden on FAA certificated repair stations.

NSPS for Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) were proposed on December 9, 2004 (69 FR 71472), promulgated on December 16, 2005 (70 FR 74870), and revised on November 24, 2006 (71 FR 67802). These regulations apply to very small municipal waste combustion units (VSMWC) and institutional waste incineration (IWI) units. A new VSMWC or IWI unit is subject to this subpart if it meets either of two criteria: 1) it commenced construction after August 31, 2020; or 2) it commenced reconstruction or modification on or after 180 days after date of final rule in the Federal Regsiter. On August 31, 2020, the EPA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register for the OSWI NSPS and EG rules that addressed the requisite CAA section 129(a)(5) periodic review (85 FR 54178), as well as other proposed changes to the standards. The EPA is finalizing its CAA section 129(a)(5) review, including our determination that there are no developments in practices, processes, or control technologies that warrant revisions to the OSWI standards and requirements. The EPA is finalizing certain other revisions, including the addition of a subcategory of new VSMWC or IWI units that have a capacity to combust less than 10 TPD of waste that are constructed on or after August 30, 2020, changes to applicability-related and definitional changes; changes to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions; changes to testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements; and other miscellaneous technical and editorial changes. The EPA is also finalizing electronic reporting requirements for submittal of certain reports and performance test results. This ICR includes the burden associated with the existing rule requirements and the incremental burden associated with the final rule. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE.

Exemptions for Air Taxi Registration

Key Information

Abstract

Part 298 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Exemptions for Air Taxi Registration, establishes a classification of air carriers known as air taxi operators that offer on- demand passenger service. The regulation exempts these small operators from certain provisions of the Federal statute to permit them to obtain economic authority by filing a one-page, front and back, OST Form 4507, Air Taxi Operator Registration, and Amendments under Part 298 of DOT’s Regulations. DOT expects to receive 50 new air taxi registrations and 2000 amended air taxi registrations each year, resulting in 2,050 total respondents. Further, DOT expects filers of new registrations to take 1 hour to complete the form, while it should only take 30 minutes to prepare amendments to the form. Thus, the total annual burden is expected to be 1050 hours. 1. Responding to the collection is mandatory. 2. The entities who must respond are air taxi operators that offer on-demand passenger air service. 3. The collection is a disclosure of information required by 14 CFR Part 298. 4. The collection frequency is determined by changes in the air carrier’s operation. A new form can be filed amending the information previously filed. 5. The information reported includes the name of the air carrier, its mailing address and/or principal place of business, contact information, whether it is an initial or amended filing, type of air service the carrier intends to perform, make and model of aircraft, FAA registration number, passenger seats installed, and whether or not the carrier is a U.S. citizen. 6. The information submitted by the air carrier is received by the DOT/FAA. 7. The purpose of the collection is to determine whether air taxi operations meet the Department’s criteria for an operating authorization under 14 CFR Part 298. It allows small air taxi operators, who generally operate small aircraft, to be relieved of the financial burden of going through the economic fitness process otherwise required by regulation. 8.
