Business Trends and Outlook Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS) will be a new experimental survey with bi-weekly data collection and publication. This continuous near real time data publication will provide a baseline of the U.S. economy and will measure change as a result of current and future economic shocks. The ongoing nature of the BTOS is in response to stakeholder feedback on the Small Business Pulse Survey (SBPS), which was that economic baseline or ‘norms’ data would have been helpful to have in comparison to the SBPS data on pandemic impact.

National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats

Key Information

Abstract

The National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats (NSUBS) is a voluntary collection of restraint use information for children under 13. NSUBS is a biennial collection. Data collectors observe restraint use for all passenger vehicle occupants included in the survey and for those vehicles that voluntarily participate, the data collectors conduct a brief interview with the vehicle driver or other knowledgeable adult to determine the age, height, weight, race, and ethnicity of the child occupants and age of the driver. Data collectors do not collect personal identifying information such as names, addresses, phone number of participating vehicle occupants. Data collectors use paper forms to collect information at fast food restaurants, gas stations, day care centers, and recreation centers where vehicles are mostly likely to have child occupants. The contractor supplies an electronic file of the data collected to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The contractor creates replicate weights, derives analytic variables, and adds auxiliary information on state laws. NHTSA uses the NSUBS data to estimate booster seat use among 4- to 7-year-old children. It also estimates restraint use for all children under 13, race and ethnicity breakouts of restraint use among all occupants in a vehicle, and estimates the extent to which children are “prematurely transitioned” from one restraint type to others that are inappropriate for their age as well as height and weight. The survey produces biennial estimates of: • Restraint use by Age Group • Restraint use by Weight Group • Restraint use by Height Group • Restraint use by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) categories for Race/Ethnicity NHTSA also asks the adult drivers their age to analyze the impact of driver age on driver seat belt use and child restraint use. NHTSA will tabulate the survey data, analyze the results, and publish the data in technical reports. NHTSA plans to release the results and the electronic file of the data collected to the public. NHTSA uses the NSUBS information to design outreach programs to help ensure that more of the nation’s children are using restraints that will protect them in motor vehicle crashes. The survey data will allow programs to better reach the caretakers whose children are unrestrained or not using the best restraint choice for their children’s sizes. The findings may also be of interest to State legislatures wanting to strengthen their child restraint laws by enacting mandatory or enhanced booster seat use provisions. The survey was previously approved as OMB Control No. 2127-0644 (current expiration date: 06/30/2022). The new collection will increase the number of respondents from 4,800 drivers to 5,300 drivers based on the average number of drivers interviewed over the last three surveys. This increases the burden hours by 36 hours (from 340 hours to 376 hours). NHTSA continues to estimate that there are no costs associated with the information collection.

Mandatory Toy Safety Standards: Requirements for Neck Floats

Key Information

Abstract

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) mandates that ASTM F963 shall be a mandatory toy safety standard. This toy safety standard sets forth only minimal labeling requirements for aquatic toys such as neck floats. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) proposes to establish new performance and revised labeling requirements to address potentially deadly hazards associated with neck floats. The Commission is also amending CPSC’s list of notice of requirements (NORs) to include neck floats. This proposed rule contains information collection requirements that are subject to public comment and review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

Applications and Reporting Requirements for Incidental Taking of Marine Mammals by Specified Activities Under the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension and revision of an existing information collection under OMB Control No. 0648-0151. NMFS does not anticipate that the extension will substantially add to the burden to individual private applicants for incidental take authorizations under the existing Control Number. The main difference we expect related to this extension is that there will be a smaller number of applicants/respondents than accounted for in the existing OMB Control Number. This renewal removes the passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and protected species observer (PSO) burden estimates. The Office of Protected Resources determined that those activities do not fall under the burden associated with this collection. The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et. seq.) prohibits the “take” of marine mammals unless otherwise authorized or exempted by law. Among the provisions that allow for lawful take of marine mammals, sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the MMPA direct the Secretary of Commerce to allow, upon request, the incidental, but not intentional, taking of small numbers of marine mammals by U.S. citizens who engage in a specified activity (other than commercial fishing), within a specified geographical region if, after notice and opportunity for public comment, we find that the taking will have a negligible impact on the affected species or stock(s) and will not have an immitigable adverse impact on the availability of the species or stock(s) for subsistence uses (where relevant). NMFS also must set forth the permissible methods of taking; other means of effecting the least practicable adverse impact on the species or stock and its habitat (mitigation); and requirements pertaining to the monitoring and reporting of such taking. Issuance of an incidental take authorization (Authorization) under MMPA section 101(a)(5)(A) (through issuance of a Letter of Authorization (LOA) following issuance of incidental take regulations) or 101(a)(5)(D) (through issuance of an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA)) requires three sets of information collection: (1) a complete application for an Authorization, as set forth in NMFS’ implementing regulations at 50 CFR 216.104, which provides the information necessary to make the required statutory determinations, including estimates of take and an assessment of impacts on the affected species and stocks; (2) information relating to required monitoring; and (3) information related to required reporting. As required by the MMPA, these collections of information enable NMFS to: (1) prospectively evaluate the proposed activity’s impact on marine mammals; (2) arrive at the appropriate determinations required by the MMPA and other applicable laws prior to issuing the Authorization; and (3) monitor impacts of activities for which Authorizations have been issued to determine if predictions regarding impacts on marine mammals remain valid.

Wildlife Video Data Scoring

Key Information

Abstract

We have developed an online application for project collaborators and volunteers to watch video clips that were collected from caribou collars (animal-borne video collars) and enter data about the behaviors and habitats observed in the clips. Information collected from the videos will be analyzed to describe caribou foraging behavior, how it varies across the summer, and the factors that influence it. This information is being collected as part of a long-term project to understand how climate variability influence caribou forage conditions, behaviors, distributions, and population dynamics. Results of the analyses will be published in peer-reviewed scientific publications that will be available to the public.

Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) Decision Appeal Form

Key Information

Abstract

The Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-163) enacted 38 U.S.C. 1720G, which directed the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to establish a Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) and a Program of General Caregiver Support Services (PGCSS). VA’s regulations implementing PCAFC and PGCSS are in 38 CFR Part 71. Both programs are managed by VA’s Caregiver Support Program (CSP) Office. On June 06, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. McCain III, Daniel K. Akaka, and Samuel R. Johnson VA Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks Act of 2018 or the VA MISSION Act 2018 (P.L. 115-182). The VA MISSION Act of 2018 expanded the PCAFC to Family Caregivers of eligible veterans of all eras in a phased approach, established new benefits for Primary Family Caregivers of eligible veterans, and made other changes affecting program eligibility and VA’s evaluation of PCAFC applications. Since program inception, Veterans and caregivers who disagree with a PCAFC decision were afforded the right to appeal through the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Clinical Appeals Process. On February 19, 2019, VA implemented the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017 (AMA), which significantly changed the VA benefits appeals process. AMA appeal and review processes are available for PCAFC decisions issued on or after February 19, 2019. A 2021 Court ruling in the case of Jeremy Beaudette & Maya Beaudette v. Denis McDonough, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, changed the appeal and review options available to individuals who have received a PCAFC decision and disagree with that decision. Consequently, VA expanded options available to Veterans and caregivers who seek review of or to appeal a PCAFC decision to include decision dating back to May 2011. As part of VA’s operational plan to implement the Beaudette decision, including to address appeals of decisions prior to February 19, 2019, a separate appeals process (legacy)is used to appeal to the Board regarding PCAFC decisions issued before February 19, 2019, and back to May 2011. VA initially developed two forms, 10-306 and 10-307, which previously were approved by OMB for a PRA clearance in 2022. VA Form 10-306, Request for Information About Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) Decisions, is necessary to provide a means for claimants to request information about any PCAFC decision VA issued to them, regardless of when such decision was made. Veterans and caregivers may use this form to acquire information about past PCAFC decisions to determine whether they wish to pursue an appeal to the Board or request review. VA Form 10-307, Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) Notice of Disagreement (NOD), was specific to PCAFC decisions rendered prior to February 19, 2019. As of now, the majority of individuals for whom VA Form 10-307 is applicable have submitted their requests, and the number of VA Form 10-307 submissions has consistently diminished over time. With forthcoming changes to CSP regulations, the division of cohorts will be eliminated, making VA Form 10-307 no longer applicable and obsolete. Therefore, CSP is requesting the discontinuation and removal of VA Form 10-307 from this collection. Note: CSP will continue to appropriately process all received VA 10-307 after sunsetting.

Medicare Prescription Drug Inflation Rebate Program: Sections 11101 and 11102 of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) (CMS-10930)

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of this ICR is for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to collect information to implement the Medicare Part D Drug Inflation Rebate Program as proposed in CY 2026 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) proposed rule. Specifically, section 1860D 14B(b)(1)(B) of the Act requires that beginning with plan year 2026, CMS shall exclude from the total number of units for a Part D rebatable drug, with respect to an applicable period, those units for which a manufacturer provides a discount under the 340B Program. In the CY 2026 PFS proposed rule, CMS proposed to establish a 340B repository to receive voluntary submissions from covered entities of certain data elements from Part D 340B claims to allow CMS to assess such data for use in identifying units of Part D rebatable drugs for which a manufacturer provides a discount under the 340B Program in a future applicable period. CMS proposed to allow covered entities to submit data on units of Part D rebatable drugs for which a manufacturer provides a discount under the 340B Program beginning in 2026 to begin testing the usability of the 340B repository. This ICR will enable CMS to collect information to implement this voluntary collection.

Greater Atlantic Region Logbook Family of Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for extension of an approved information collection. The Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office (GARFO), under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act (Atlantic Coastal Act), the New England Fishery Management Council (the Council), and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (the Commission) are responsible for conservation and management of marine fishery resources off the east coast. NMFS enacts complementary regulations to Council and Commission actions. The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that conservation and management measures must prevent overfishing while achieving, on a continuing basis, the optimum yield from each fishery. These measures must be based on the best scientific information available. The Atlantic Coastal Act oversees coastal fishery resources that migrate, or are widely distributed, across the jurisdictional boundaries of two or more of the Atlantic States and Federal Government. The information collected using the logbook family of forms will be used by several offices of NMFS, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Councils and Commission, and state fishery agencies. The information is used to develop, implement, and monitor fishery management strategies. Logbook data serve as inputs for a variety of uses, including biological analyses and stock assessments, regulatory impact analyses, quota allocation selections and monitoring, economic profitability profiles, trade and import tariff decisions, allocation of grant funds among states, and analysis of ecological interactions among species. NMFS would be unable to fulfill the majority of its scientific research and fishery management missions without these data. During the renewal of collection 0648-0212, our program office was informed that the changes published into 2018 (50 CFR Part 48) did not reflect on the current ICs. While we are still requesting an extension we also request the following revisions to accurately display the modifications of said collection. Regulatory changes from 2018 resulted in the elimination of the paper-based shellfish logbook, which integrated into the electronic VTR data collection program and the elimination of Tilefish IVR reporting. (Question 12 table) Rule 0648-BL61 integrated the Lobster VTR into the overall VTR information collection for all species. Previous information collection “Herring” was renamed to “Daily Catch Reports” (DCR) to accurately count for multiple species that are required to submit in the daily catch report.

Enterprise Scheduling System (ESS) and National Appointment and Scheduling Calendar (NASC)

Key Information

Abstract

The Enterprise Scheduling System (ESS) allows for both customer self-scheduling and technician assisted scheduling through an electronic scheduling tool, while the National Appointment and Scheduling Calendar (NASC) allows for technician-assisted scheduling through the ESS platform for initial claims appointment requests. ESS facilitates both customer self-scheduling and technician scheduling, along with NASC which facilitates technician scheduling, allowing SSA to collect essential information from customers, including their name, Social Security number, zip code, telephone number, and email address. Additionally, customers have the option to consent to electronic messaging or to opt out, as well as specify their preferred method of communication (email or text), language preference, preferred service office, and appointment day and time preferences. SSA uses this information to schedule in-office, phone, or video appointments for processing enumeration, PE actions, or initial claim appointments. Customers scheduling their PE or initial claim appointments through a technician have the option to create a one-time passcode, enabling them to securely update their appointment online. The technician documents this one-time passcode along with the customer's other appointment preferences. Customers begin the process by accessing SSA.gov and engaging an online questionnaire to determine the nature of their business. If applications are available for customers to self-serve, the system routes them to those applications to complete their business. If not, customers are given the option to self schedule an appointment through ESS. If the customer moves forward, the system directs them to create a credential using Login.gov or ID.me. Once they complete credentialing, customers access ESS to complete required screens and fields to select a date and time for an appointment with an SSA field office (FO) to provide the proofs necessary to obtain a replacement or original SSN card or complete a PE action. Upon completing the required screens and fields, the system presents customers with a screen to review and submit all of the data they input regarding the requested appointment. If customers encounter issues with ESS, or they need to request an appointment type which requires technician assistance (e.g., scheduling, rescheduling, or cancelling PE or initial claims appointments), they may contact SSA by phone to have an FO or Telephone Service Center (TSC) technician schedule their appointment. Technicians follow existing processes and policies to identify the caller as a legitimate customer, and converse with the customer to determine the nature of their business and if they require an appointment. If the technician determines the customer needs an appointment, the technician accesses ESS and completes the required screens and fields for the enumeration or PE appointment, or NASC for an initial claim appointment. Once the technician completes the ESS or NASC screens, the technician can review all of the information the customer provided with the customer. If the customer indicates it is correct the technician submits and schedules the appointment. We conduct this information collection each time a customer accesses the online tool or contacts SSA by phone to schedule an appointment. The respondents are individuals looking to schedule their SSA visit, either through self-scheduling or technician assisted modalities, using ESS and NASC.

Privacy and Disclosure of Official Records and Information; Availability of Information and Records to the Public

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Privacy and Disclosure of Official Records and Information regulations, SSA has established methods in which the public can consent to and authorize the release of records protected under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a of the United States Code, and request records accessible through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552. Consent for Release of Records SSA obtains the required consent(s) (with certain exceptions specified by law) from anyone requesting information in SSA systems of records about another individual. We will not release information requested about an individual until we obtain the required consent from that individual. Under the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)), individuals may give SSA written consent to disclose their personal information to a third party of their choosing. In addition, individuals may have multiple needs for the disclosure of their personal information, such as for qualification for a mortgage or preemployment screenings. a. Form SSA-3288 (Consent for Release of Information): Form SSA-3288, is SSA’s preferred paper form for requests for disclosure of information based on the consent of the subject of the record. Respondents can download the SSA-3288 from ssa.gov/forms, obtain a copy at a local SSA field office, or request SSA mail a copy to them directly. Use of this form ensures compliance with SSA consent regulations at 20 CFR 401.100. SSA also collects consent on other writings, including non-SSA forms often used by large employers, that incorporate SSA-approved consent language. b. Form SSA-3288-OP1 (Consent for Disclosure of Records Protected Under the Privacy Act): The Form SSA-3288-OP1 will comply with the CASES Act, OMB M-21-04, and SSA consent regulations at 20 CFR 401.100. The CASES Act directed OMB to develop templates for, among other things, electronic consents for SSA to disclose records protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 to third parties. OMB implemented that statutory directive in memorandum M-21-04. SSA developed the SSA-3288-OP1 pursuant to the CASES Act and M-21-04. The public will access the webform application that populates Form SSA-3288-OP1 on the Internet by selecting the ‘‘Electronic Request for Consent to Disclose’’ link which will be posted at www.ssa.gov/privacy. The respondents are individuals consenting to, authorizing, and requesting SSA disclosure of records protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 to third parties.

Common Forms Associated with Federal Subsistence Regulations, 43 CFR 51 and 36 CFR 242

Key Information

Abstract

The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) mandates that rural residents of Alaska receive priority for subsistence uses of fish and wildlife. In 1989, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled that ANILCA's rural priority violated the Alaska Constitution. As a result, the Federal Government manages subsistence uses on Federal public lands and waters in Alaska--about 230 million acres or 60 percent of the land within the State. Title VIII of ANILCA (16 U.S.C. 3111-3126) designates the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture as the key agencies responsible for implementing the subsistence priority on Federal public lands. To help carry out subsistence management responsibilities, the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture established the Federal Subsistence Management Program. Regulations implementing the Federal Subsistence Management Program on Federal public lands within Alaska are in the Code of Federal Regulations (50 CFR 100 and 36 CFR 242). The Federal Subsistence Management Program is a multi-agency effort to provide the opportunity for a subsistence way of life by rural Alaskans on Federal public lands and waters while maintaining healthy populations of fish and wildlife. Subsistence fishing and hunting provide a large share of the food consumed in rural Alaska. The State's rural residents harvest about 22,000 tons of wild foods each year--an average of 375 pounds per person. Fish make up about 60 percent of this harvest Statewide.Emergency Justfication:See attached "Justification for Emergency Clearance" uploaded as a supplemental document.
