CMS Plan Benefit Package (PBP) and Formulary CY 2027 (CMS-R-262) - IRA

Key Information

Abstract

CMS has incorporated the following changes to address the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This includes new attestations and data entry fields to reflect Part D policy changes (i.e., new insulin and vaccine benefits and $0 cost sharing in the catastrophic phase) that are required by the IRA, specifically Sections 11101, 11201, 11401, and 11406. CMS is also modernizing the PBP software by migrating from its current client/server based platform to a new web-based module within HPMS. This initiative is critical, as the current platform technically antiquated. The new PBP module will enhance system security, improve the user interface, streamline the bid submission process, increase system performance, and provide greater flexibility to accommodate unique benefit designs. CMS requires that MA and PDP organizations submit a completed formulary and PBP as part of the annual bidding process. During this process, organizations prepare their proposed plan benefit packages for the upcoming contract year and submit them to CMS for review and approval.

Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS)

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 Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) information collection. NHTSA is seeking approval to modify the collection to include the collection of the portion of NHTSA’s Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS) data that is submitted through the FARS data collection effort. NHTSA is authorized by 49 U.S.C. 30182 and 23 U.S.C. 402, 403 & 405 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. The FARS is a voluntary information collection of fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes. The FARS data collection started in 1975 and is a census of all defined crashes involving fatalities in the country. The FARS collects annual data from all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico under cooperative agreements. State employees collect and process information from existing State files including police crash reports as well as driver license, vehicle registration, highway department files, and vital statistics files. NHTSA aggregates the data for research and analysis in support of motor vehicle regulations and highway safety programs. This supports NHTSA’s mission by providing the agency vital information about fatal crashes. The aggregated data comprises a national database that tracks trends in fatalities and quantifying problems in highway safety. The FARS data are used extensively by NHTSA, other DOT modes, States, and local jurisdictions and the highway research community. Congress uses the FARS data for making decisions concerning safety programs. The FARS data are publicly available. The Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS) is an automated 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. The NTS non-traffic crash data are obtained through NHTSA’s data collection efforts for the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS), the Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), and FARS. NTS also includes data outside of NHTSA’s own data collections. NTS’ non-crash injury data are based upon emergency department records from a special study conducted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) All Injury Program. NTS non-crash fatality data are derived from death certificate information from the Centers for Disease Control’s National Vital Statistics System. This ICR only seeks approval for the collection of NTS data for NTS that comes from the FARS data collection effort. The annual burden has been adjusted from 107,209 to 118,762 hours (an increase of 11,553 hours), while the costs are maintained at $0. The adjustment in burden hours is due to the increase in the complexity of coding the FARS cases and an increase in the number of fatal crashes across most States. The increase also accounts for the time to process the non-traffic fatalities for NTS. Furthermore, while time for manually inputting data has decreased with States implementing systems to electronically transfer police report data that prepopulate NHTSA’s data systems, including FARS, the overall burden increased because, over the past two years, there has been an increase in staff turnover at the State level, adding an increase in administrative hours, training, and coding assistance to continue operations.

Work History Report

Key Information

Abstract

SSA asks individuals applying for disability about work they performed in the past. Applicants use Form SSA-3369, Work History Report, to provide SSA with detailed information about applicant’s jobs held prior to becoming unable to work. State Disability Determination Services evaluate the information together with medical evidence, to determine eligibility for disability payments. The respondents are disability applicants and third parties assisting applicants. We are submitting a non-substantive Change Request to include the Final Rule revisions currently approved under 0960-0834 (Intermediate Improvement to the Disability Adjudication Process, Including How We Consider Past Work) under this ICR. Upon OMB's approval of this Change Request (and the Change Requests for both 0960-0300 and 0960-0579), we will discontinue the ICR for 0960-0834 to avoid double-counting the burden for these information collections.

Disability Report - Adult

Key Information

Abstract

State Disability Determination Services (DDS) use Form SSA-3368, Disability Report – Adult, and its electronic versions, to determine if an adult disability applicant’s impairment(s) is severe and, if so, how the impairment(s) affects the applicant’s ability to work. This determination dictates whether the DDS and SSA will find the applicant disabled. The information we collect on the SSA 3368 is used by the State Disability Determination Services (DDS) to obtain evidence and evaluate whether or not an individual is found disabled. The collection is mandatory for applicants filing to obtain Title II disability benefits or Title XVI Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. We collect this information from the individual one time. We collect the information via several modalities: the SSA-3368-BK PDF paper form, the EDCS SSA-3368 Intranet application, and the i3368 Internet application. The respondents complete the SSA-3368 by themselves with self help information available, or another may complete the paper form or electronic application on their behalf. The respondents generally do not need information from someone else to complete the application. The respondents are disability applicants or third parties assisting the applicants applying for Title II disability benefits or Title XVI SSI payments. We are submitting a non-substantive Change Request to include the Final Rule revisions currently approved under 0960-0834 (Intermediate Improvement to the Disability Adjudication Process, Including How We Consider Past Work) under this ICR. Upon OMB's approval of this Change Request (and the Change Requests for both 0960-0300 and 0960-0578), we will discontinue the ICR for 0960-0834 to avoid double-counting the burden for these information collections.

Disability Update Report

Key Information

Abstract

Periodically SSA uses Form SSA-455, the Disability Report Update, to evaluate current Title II disability beneficiaries and Title XVI disability payment recipients' continued eligibility for Social Security disability payments. Specifically, SSA uses the form to determine if: (1) there is enough evidence to warrant referring the respondent for a full medical Continuing Disability Review (CDR); (2) the respondent's impairment(s) is still present and is indicative of no medical improvement, precluding the need for a CDR; or (3) there are unresolved work-related issues for the respondent. SSA mails Form SSA-455 to specific disability recipients, whom we select as possibly qualifying for the continuing disability review process. SSA pre-fills the form with data specific to the disability recipient, except for the sections we ask the beneficiary to complete. When SSA receives the completed form, we optically scan it into SSA's system. This allows us to gather the information electronically to enable SSA to process the returned forms through automated decision logic to decide the proper course of action we will take. The respondents are recipients of Title II and Title XVI Social Security disability payments. We are making minor revisions to the paper versions of the form to remove the signature requirement and to replace the SSN# with the Beneficiary Notice Control number.

Application for Child's Insurance Benefits

Key Information

Abstract

Title II of the Social Security Act (Act) provides for the payment of monthly benefits to children of an insured retired, disabled, or deceased worker. Section 202(d) of the Act discloses the conditions and requirements the applicant must meet when filing an application. An unmarried child who has a parent who is retired or has a disability and is entitled to Social Security benefits, or who has a parent who died after having worked long enough in a job where they paid Social Security taxes, is entitled to receive benefits. An unmarried child can receive benefits if they meet one of the following criteria: (1) the child is younger than 18; (2) the child is a full-time student at an elementary or secondary school (grade 12 or below); (3) the child is age 18 to 19 and attending elementary or secondary school full-time; or (4) the child is age 18 or older with a disability that began before age 22. Under certain circumstances, SSA can also pay benefits to a stepchild, grandchild, step-grandchild, or adopted child. Respondents can download and complete Form SSA 4 BK at www.ssa.gov and mail it back to SSA, or they can call SSA to schedule an appointment at the field office, where an SSA employee can interview respondents and enter information into our Modernized Claims Systems (MCS). When applying for benefits for a child, the respondent needs to provide SSA with the following information: (1) the child’s birth certificate or other proof of birth or adoption; and (2) the parent’s and child’s Social Security numbers. Depending on the type of benefit involved, SSA may require other documents for example: if applying for survivors benefits for the child, SSA requires proof of the parent’s death; and if applying for benefits for a child with a disability, SSA requires medical evidence to prove the child’s disability. The SSA representative helping the respondent with their application tells them what other documents they may need, or the respondent can find the information on SSA’s website. SSA uses the information on Form SSA-4-BK to determine entitlement for children of living and deceased workers to monthly Social Security payments. The respondents are guardians completing the form on behalf of the children of living or deceased workers, or the children of living or deceased workers.

7 CFR Part 235 - State Administrative Expense (SAE) Funds

Key Information

Abstract

This is a reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection for which approval has expired. This collection expired on January 31, 2026. This information collection is required to administer and operate this program in accordance with the Child Nutrition Act. The program is administered at the State agency level. Reports submitted and records maintained include agreements, financial reports, and the maintenance of accounting records for State Administrative Funds (SAE). The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) administers the Child Nutrition Programs (CNP). FNS originally expected to submit this collection for review before it expired. As such, FNS expected to make two changes to the collection. One was to reduce the number of respondents for the reporting requirement at 235.7(b). The other change adjusts the frequency of the responses for the recordkeeping requirement at 235.7(a). FNS estimated that these changes would reduce the responses and burden hours for this collection.

[NCEH] Enhancing Data-driven Disease Detection in Newborns (ED3N)

Key Information

Abstract

CDC's Newborn Screening and Molecular Biology Branch (NSMBB) is developing a National Newborn Screening Data Platform (known as ED3N) that will address analytic and post-analytic challenges and promote sharing of molecular, biochemical, and clinical information amongst state-based newborn screening (NBS) partners. The information shared will help NSMBB and newborn screening partners be better equipped to assess disease risk and will help harmonize approaches for disease detection in newborns. Given the rarity of newborn screening diseases, it is imperative that data be collected and analyzed at a national level in order to glean useful insights and trend analyses. The NSMBB is best-suited to oversee this work given its role in providing technical assistance to NBS programs nationally. This is an Extension of the previous submission.

Abstract

Enacted on December 27, 2020, the No Surprises Act, which was enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code). The No Surprise Act implements provisions that protect individuals from surprise medical bills for emergency services, air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers, and non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at participating facilities in certain circumstances. Additionally, the No Surprises Act sets forth a complaints processes with respect to potential violations of balance billing requirements set forth in the No Surprises Act. 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” (86 FR 36872, 2021 interim final regulations) issued by the Departments of Health and Humans Services (HHS), Department of Labor (DOL), the Department of Treasury (collectively, the Departments), implement provisions of the No Surprises Act that apply to group health plans, health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage 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 No Surprises Act and the 2021 interim final regulations directs the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Department of Treasury (collectively, “the Departments”) to establish a process to receive complaints regarding violations of the application of qualifying payment amount (QPA) requirements by group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group or individual health coverage. The No Surprises Act also directs HHS to establish a process to receive consumer complaints regarding violations by health care providers, facilities, and providers of air ambulance services regarding balance billing requirements and to respond to such complaints within 60 days.
