William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, Federal Direct PLUS Loan Request for Supplemental Information

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Direct PLUS Loan Request for Supplemental Information serves as the means by which a parent applicant may provide certain information to a school that will assist the school in originating the borrower's Direct PLUS Loan award, as an alternative to providing this information to the school by other means established by the school. This is a request for a revision of the currently approved form. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) signed into law on July 4, 2025, made statutory changes to Sections 455(a), 455(d), 455(e), 455(g), and 455(q) that impact borrower eligibility, terms and conditions, and borrowers’ rights and responsibilities for Direct PLUS Loans received on or after July 1, 2026. The new regulations directly impact the Direct PLUS Loan Request. Namely, the regulations modify the annual and aggregate loan limits for Direct PLUS Loans for parent borrowers and eliminate a graduate or professional student’s eligibility for new PLUS loans as of July 1, 2026

Generic Information Collection Request for Health Resources and Services Administration Hotlines, Chatlines, and Online Portals

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for a new umbrella information collection (ICR) which will collect information about the operation of HRSA hotlines, chatlines, and online portals. HRSA hotlines, chatlines, and online portals are one way that HRSA can respond to customer questions and concerns on HRSA programs (e.g., Health Centers, Loan and Scholarship Programs, and Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program). HRSA also has hotlines and chatlines where members of the public can get assistance on specific medical issues (e.g., National Clinician Consultation Centers hotline/warmlines, and National Maternal Mental Health Hotline). HRSA hotlines, chatlines, and online portals are operated by HRSA or a contractor acting on HRSA’s behalf. Because these forms will be used to provide high-quality services to HRSA grantees and stakeholders, it is authorized by Executive Order 14058, “Setting Customer Service Standards.” The specific statutes authorizing these collections cannot be identified in advance but will be included as part of each submission request to OMB. HRSA would only request OMB approval for collections under this umbrella-collection if the collection is voluntary, low-burden, and uncontroversial. As part of this umbrella ICR, HRSA requests that OMB provide a response on individual generic collections within 5 business days. If no response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and scope outlined in this document, HRSA would then move forward with the proposed information collection. HRSA believes this fast-track process should apply to this information collection, since these information collections will focus on the awareness, understanding, attitudes, preferences, or experiences of HRSA customers or other stakeholders (e.g., funding recipients and their delivery partners, and potential funding applicants) relating to existing or future services, products, or communication materials. The individual IC template is included under Supporting Documents.

Stronger Connections Grant Program Annual Performance Report

Key Information

Abstract

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) provided $1 billion in funding to State educational agencies (SEAs), to be distributed under Title IV, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). The BSCA specified that SEAs must make competitive subgrants to high-need local educational agencies (LEAs), as determined by the SEA, for activities that support safe and healthy students under section 4108 of the ESEA. The U.S. Department of Education designated BSCA section 4108 funds as the Stronger Connections Grant (SCG) program. This is a revised information-collection request for the SCG program's performance reporting requirement. Under the Education Department’s General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR, Section 75.720), grantees must submit annual performance reports unless the Secretary allows less frequent reporting. Accordingly, this information collection request removes the annual reporting requirement and replaces it with a final report. Additionally, this revised information collection request reduces the number of proposed data items to be collected from grantees in their final report. This change decreases reporting burden by 34,366 hours and ensures that SEA grantees provide only the critical information needed, including: 1) the identification of the LEAs awarded SCG funds, and 2) how the SEA and its LEAs used SCG funds. This proposed information collection request balances reducing burden on grantees while collecting the essential information included in Attachment A for non-unitary systems and Attachment B for unitary systems.

Form S-3 - Registration Statement

Key Information

Abstract

The Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) was designed to prevent misrepresentation, deceit and other fraudulent acts and practices in the sale of securities. Section 5 of the Securities Act requires that a registration statement be filed before any security is publicly offered, and that the registration statement be effective before any security is sold. Section 7 of the Securities Act and Schedule A outlines the information that must be contained in a registration statement. Section 7 gives the Commission the authority to vary such disclosure for various classes of issuers and securities. The Commission has used its statutory authority to develop a number of specialized registration statement forms that tailor disclosure requirements based on the type of offering, issuer, or other parameters, thereby eliminating burdensome and unnecessary requirements while maintaining investor protection. Form S-3 (17 CFR 239.13) is a short-form securities registration statement that is available to issuers that meet certain registrant and transaction eligibility requirements under the form. The purpose of the information collection is to provide disclosure of material financial and other information with which investors may evaluate the merits of securities in order to make investment decisions.

VETERANS EMPLOYMENT THROUGH HIGH TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION COURSES (VET TEC 2.0) EMPLOYMENT OR FURTHER EDUCATIONAL PURSUIT CERTIFICATION

Key Information

Abstract

On January 2, 2025, the Elizabeth Dole Field and Community Based Services for Veterans and Caregivers Act (Pub. L. 118-210) was signed into law. The program can be identified as the DOLE Act. The legislation established a new Veteran Technology program titled “Veterans Education Through High Technology Education Courses (VET TEC 2.0) program”. The DOLE Act requires VA to verify the Veteran obtained successful employment or furthered educational pursuit in the same field as their VET TEC 2.0 program within 180 days of program completion. Additionally, subsequent verification of continued employment for 180 days (or 365 days if the Veteran is hired by the Training Provider through which they completed their VET TEC 2.0 program) in that position is required. This verification requires VA to develop practices to collect information from covered Veterans about their employment or educational pursuit after program completion. To release the final payment due to the Training Provider, School Certifying Officials (SCOs) of training providers of VET TEC 2.0 approved programs of education must also provide certification of successful employment or further educational pursuit by the Veteran and submission of documentation supporting their certification. Veterans and Training Provider SCOs will certify, through attestation on the Veterans Employment Through High Technology Courses (VET TEC 2.0) Employment or Further Educational Pursuit Certification (VA Form 22-10299), that the Veteran has found successful employment or is furthering their education in a field related to their VET TEC 2.0 program of education.

Questionnaire and Data Collection Testing, Evaluation, and Research for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of this Umbrella ICR is to inform the development of new questions, questionnaires, and tools; pilot/pre-test instruments under development; and identify problems in instruments currently in use by soliciting feedback from members of the public. Using this ICR, individual information collections related to the development or revision of HRSA data collection instruments go through an abbreviated approval process called a ‘‘generic’’ or ‘‘fast-track’’ information collection. This allows program offices to efficiently gather a suitable pool of candidates within the varied time periods available for participant recruitment. The specific statutes authorizing these collections cannot be identified in advance but will be included as part of each submission request to OMB. HRSA would only request OMB approval for collections under this umbrella-collection if the collection is voluntary, low-burden, and uncontroversial. As this Umbrella ICR focuses on the awareness, understanding, attitudes, preferences, or experiences of customers or other stakeholders (e.g., delivery partners, co-regulators, potential customers) relating to existing or future services, products or communication materials, the Fast Track Process should apply to this information collection. As part of this umbrella ICR, HRSA requests that OMB provide a response on individual generic collections within 5 business days. If no response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and scope outlined in this document, HRSA would then move forward with the proposed information collection. No existing general information collections (ICs) will be renewed as part of the overall Umbrella Collection revision, and the individual IC template is included under Supporting Documents.

Data and Specimen Hub (DASH) (NICHD)

Key Information

Abstract

This request is being submitted as a revision. The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Data and Specimen Hub (DASH) was established by NICHD as a data sharing mechanism for clinical and population health research studies. It serves as a centralized resource for investigators to share and access de-identified study data funded by NICHD. DASH also serves as a portal for requesting biospecimens from select DASH studies. NICHD is in the process of migrating DASH data to a new instance of the Biomedical Research Informatics Computi (BRICS) platform operated by the NIH Center for Information Technology (CIT). This requires changes to the existing Office of Management and Budget (OMB)-approved DASH forms to align with the BRICS platform structure and to incorporate new NIH Requirements for Controlled-Access Data Repositories (CADRs) from the Required Security and Operational Standards for NIH Controlled-Access Data Repositories (NIH CADR Guidebook), hereinafter referred to as “NOT-OD-25-159” (https://www.grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-25-159.html).

Exchange Act Form 10

Key Information

Abstract

Sections 12(a), 12(b), and 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) help ensure that investors receive sufficient issuer-oriented information to make informed investment decisions. Section 12(a) prohibits any broker or dealer from trading a security on a national securities exchange unless the security is registered under the Exchange Act. With respect to a security being registered on a national securities exchange, Section 12(b) authorizes the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to require the issuer to disclose specific kinds of information, such as information about the issuer’s organization, financial structure, business, and securities. Section 13 requires every issuer of a security registered pursuant to Section 12 to file periodic and current reports with the Commission. Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act generally requires issuers that have total assets exceeding $10,000,000 and a class of equity security held of record by either 2,000 persons or 500 persons who are not accredited investors to register such equity security with the Commission. Form 10 (17 CFR 249.210) is the general form adopted by the Commission for the registration of securities pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Form 10 requires financial information and other disclosures about matters such as the issuer’s business, properties, identity and remuneration of management, outstanding securities, securities to be registered, and financial condition. The information collected on Form 10 is intended to ensure that investors in a class of Section 12-registered securities have sufficient information regarding such securities and their issuer necessary to make informed investment and voting decisions.

Form S-1 - Registration Statement

Key Information

Abstract

The Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) was enacted in order to provide full and fair disclosure with respect to publicly offered securities and to prevent fraud in connection with such offerings. The Securities Act carries out this purpose by requiring the filing of a registration statement in connection with public distributions of securities by issuers and their control persons. Schedule A of the Securities Act specifies the general types of information that must be disclosed in registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”). The Commission has authority, under Section 19 of the Securities Act, to promulgate rules to carry out the provisions of the Securities Act. Form S-1 (17 CFR 239.11) is a general registration form used to register the public offering of securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”). Form S-1 may be used for the registration under the Securities Act of securities of all registrants for which no other form is authorized or prescribed, except that this Form shall not be used for securities of foreign governments or political subdivisions thereof or asset-backed securities. The information collected is intended to ensure the adequacy of information available to investors in connection with securities offerings.

Notices of Enforcement Discretion (NOEDs) for Operating Power Reactors and Gaseous Diffusion Plants, (NRC Enforcement Policy)

Key Information

Abstract

The NRC’s Enforcement Policy includes the circumstances in which the NRC may grant a NOED. On occasion, circumstances arise when a power plant licensee’s compliance with a Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation or any other license condition would involve an unnecessary plant shutdown or transient. Similarly, for a gaseous diffusion plant, circumstances may arise where compliance with a Technical Safety Requirement (TSR) or other condition would unnecessarily call for a total plant shutdown, or, compliance would unnecessarily place the plant in a condition where safety, safeguards, or security features were degraded or inoperable. In these circumstances, a licensee or certificate holder may request that the NRC exercise enforcement discretion, and the NRC staff may choose to not enforce the applicable TS, TSR, or other license or certificate condition. This enforcement discretion is designated as a NOED. A licensee or certificate holder seeking the issuance of a NOED must justify, in accordance with NRC Enforcement Manual, the safety basis for the request, including an evaluation of the safety significance and potential consequences of the proposed request, a description of proposed compensatory measures, a justification for the duration of the request, the basis for the licensee's or certificate holder’s conclusion that the request does not have a potential adverse impact on the public health and safety, and does not involve adverse consequences to the environment, and any other information the NRC staff deems necessary before making a decision to exercise discretion.

Designation of Fishery Management Council Members and Application for Reinstatement of State Authority

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for extension of a currently approved information collection. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes the establishment of eight Regional Fishery Management Councils to manage fisheries within regional jurisdictions. This collection pertains to several sections of the Magnuson-Stevens Act related to the Councils. Section 302(b) provides for appointment of Council members nominated by State Governors, Territorial Governors, or Tribal Governments and for designation of a principal state fishery official for the purposes of the Act. Section 306(b)(2) provides for a request by a state for reinstatement of state authority over a managed fishery. Nominees for Council membership must provide their State Governor, Territorial Governor, or Tribal Government leadership with background documentation, which is then submitted to NOAA, on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce to review qualifications for Council membership. The information collected with these actions is used to ensure that the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act are being met in regard to Council membership and state authority.
