Pesticide Registration Fees Program (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) covers the paperwork burden hours and costs associated with the information collection activities under the pesticide registration fee programs implemented through the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Pesticide registrants are required by statute to pay an annual registration maintenance fee for all products registered under Section 3 and Section 24(c) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Additionally, Section 33 of FIFRA establishes statutory fees and timeframes for EPAs review of covered applications. PRIA 5 which was enacted December 2022, did many things including that it extended the authority to collect pesticide maintenance fees through FY2027 and the authority to collect pesticide registration service fees through FY2029.This ICR specifically covers the activities related to the collection of the annual registration maintenance fees, the registration service fees, and the burden associated with the submission of requests for fees to be waived.

[IRA Collection] 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.

FCC Application for Assignment of Authorization or Transfer of Control: WTB and PSHS Bureaus

Key Information

Abstract

On July 18, 2022, the Commission adopted the Partition, Disaggregation and Leasing of Spectrum Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that modifies partitioning, disaggregation, and leasing rules to provide specific incentives for small carriers and Tribal Nations, and entities in rural areas, to voluntarily participate in ECIP (ECIP Report and Order in WT Docket No. 19-38, FCC 22-53). The ECIP proceeding is in response to Congressional direction in the Making Opportunities for Broadband Investment and Limiting Excessive and Needless Obstacles to Wireless Act (MOBILE NOW Act) to consider steps to increase the diversity of spectrum access and the availability of advanced telecommunications services in rural areas. The ECIP will promote greater competition in the provision of wireless services, facilitate increased availability of advanced wireless services in rural areas, facilitate new opportunities for small carriers and Tribal Nations to increase access to spectrum, and bring more advanced wireless service including 5G to underserved communities. The Commission seeks approval for revisions to its currently approved collection of information under OMB Control Number 3060-0800 to permit the collection of the additional information and changes in connection with assignments of authorizations pursuant to the rules adopted by the Commission’s ECIP Report and Order. Specifically, in the ECIP Report and Order, the Commission revised its rules to allow partition and/or disaggregation assignment applications pursuant to § 1.950. or full assignments pursuant to § 1.948, to designate a Qualifying Transaction identified in the application as seeking consideration under the ECIP. Respondents are also required to select the applicable ECIP prong to its Qualifying Transaction, pursuant to either § 1.60003 or § 1.60004. Please see the non-substantive change request justification for the reason behind this submission to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval.

Distraction: Modern Voice Command Interfaces

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is proposing new research involving the collection of information from the public to understand the effects of voice command interfaces (VCIs) on driver performance, distraction, and cognitive workload via a driving simulator study. VCIs allow drivers to verbally request actions (e.g., send a text) or information (e.g., what is the weather forecast for today), which can be initiated with either a spoken phrase (e.g., “Hey Google”) or button presses. This study will compare VCI use to visual-manual interface use, particularly during safety-critical driving situations. A visual-manual interface refers to any system where a user interacts by looking at something (visual) and manipulating it with their hands (manual). Driver performance, distraction, and cognitive workload will be assessed using data collected from a driving simulator, eye tracker, electrocardiogram (ECG), and tactile detection response task (TDRT). The overall objective of this information collection request is to advance the state of knowledge regarding the use of VCIs in vehicles by comparing common tasks executed across different VCI systems, and across different input methods (VCI vs. visual-manual input).

Workforce Recruitment Program

Key Information

Abstract

The Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) is a recruitment program that connects students with disabilities to an opportunity for employment. Through participating colleges and universities, WRP creates a talent pool for Federal and interested private-sector employers nationwide to find college students and recent graduates with disabilities, including veterans, who are eager to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through internships or permanent jobs. Candidates are not placed into jobs; they are simply applying to be part of a resume talent database of postsecondary students and recent graduates with disabilities that is made available to Federal employers directly and to the private sector through a contractor. Employers will then reach out to candidates directly if they are interested in interviewing or hiring them for a specific position. Candidates also have the opportunity to participate in program career development activities and receive communication about hiring fairs and other federal opportunities shared with the WRP.

Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) Notices

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection supports agency rulemaking as required under 5 CFR 1320.11 (RIN No. 0910-AJ02.) The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) requires that all food additives (as defined by section 201(s) (21 U.S.C. 321(s)) be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) before they are marketed. Section 409 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 348) establishes a premarket approval requirement for “food additives.” Section 201(s) of the FD&C Act provides an exclusion to the definition of “food additive,” and thus from the premarket approval requirement, for uses of substances that are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by qualified experts.

Availability of OCC Information

Key Information

Abstract

The OCC is proposing to amend its rules on information disclosure, necessitating a revision to the agency’s existing information collection approval. The OCC’s proposal would clarify the process for obtaining OCC approval to disclose non-public OCC information (NPOI) and allow for the disclosure of confidential supervisory information (CSI) without OCC approval in certain circumstances, provided that applicable safeguards are observed. Specifically, the proposal would permit a supervised entity to disclose CSI without OCC prior approval in six situations, each of which prescribes information collection requirements. For CSI not covered by the six situations and NPOI that is not CSI, the proposal clarifies the current framework, under which the OCC decides on a case-by-case basis whether to permit disclosure and, if so, the applicable safeguards, which also may include information collection requirements. The proposal also clarifies when supervised entities can share CSI with Federal agencies.

Consumer Information Regulations (Excluding UTQGS) 49 CFR Part 575

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) seeks the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) approval to reinstate a previously approved information collection (2127-0049) pertaining to 49 CFR Part 575 Sections 103 (Truck-camper loading) and 105 (Vehicle rollover). Part 575.103, “Truck-camper loading,” These regulations require manufacturers of light trucks that can accommodate slide-in campers to provide information on cargo weight rating and the longitudinal limits for center of gravity by affixing a label with identification and loading instructions, plus including more detailed guidance in the owner's manual. Part 575.105, “Vehicle rollover,” requires manufacturers of certain utility vehicles to affix a label in a prominent location alerting drivers that the handling and maneuvering characteristics of utility vehicles require special driving practices when these vehicles are operated. Also, as required by 49 CFR Part 575.6(d)(1)(i), vehicle manufacturers must submit to NHTSA's Administrator, prior to new model introduction, two copies of the information specified in Part 575.103 and Part 575.105 that is applicable to the vehicles offered for sale. The information must be submitted at least 90 days before information on such vehicles is first provided for examination by prospective purchasers. The supporting statement addresses only the annual reporting hours and cost burdens associated with Section 103 (Truck-camper loading) and Section 105 (“Vehicle rollover”). This is a reinstatement with a change. The burden hours associated with this collection have increased; however, the burden cost has decreased. The total burden hours increased from 300 hours to 22,865 because this reinstatement counts labor hours for labeling each utility vehicle and slide-in camper in addition to submission-related activities. The burden costs to respondents have decreased from $2,904,336 to $1,579,550 due to more accurate estimates of the number of utility vehicles manufactured that require labels under Part 575.105.
