Application for Consent to Assignment of Broadcast Station Construction Permit or License or Transfer of Control of Corporation Holding Broadcast Station Construction Permit or Permit or License, FCC

Key Information

Abstract

FCC Form 316 is required when applying for consent for assignment of a broadcast station construction permit or license, or for consent to transfer control of an entity holding a broadcast station construction permit or license where there is little change in the relative interest or disposition of its interests; where transfer of an interest is not a controlling one; where there is no substantial change in the beneficial ownership of the corporation; where the assignment is less than a controlling interest in a partnership; where there is an appointment of an entity qualified to succeed to the interest of a deceased or legally incapacitated individual permittee, licensee or controlling stockholder; and, in the case of LPFM stations, where there is a voluntary transfer of a controlling interest in the licensee or permittee entity. The Commission adopted on September 18, 2023, the Report and Order (R&O), Amendment of Part 73 of the Commission’s Rules to Update Television and Class A Television Broadcast Station Rules, and Rules Applicable to All Broadcast Stations, MB Docket No. 22-227, FCC 23-72. The R&O adopted a number of revisions to the Commission’s rules to reorganize and clarify the Commission’s technical licensing, operating, and interference rules for full power and Class A television, including revisions to 47 CFR Section 73.3540 to update the reference to FCC Form 2100, Schedule 316. The revision to this information collection is made for informational purposes only, and does not create new or modify existing burdens.

Healthcare Advancement and Partnerships (HAP) Recognition Application

Key Information

Abstract

Section 129 of the Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act (Dole Act) (Public Law 118-210) requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to establish a process to recognize organizations/individuals that assist Veterans, family members, or caregivers with navigating available VHA programs and services, but do not receive compensation or charge a fee for rendered services. The process developed for recognizing such organizations and individuals includes an online information collection instrument (application) through which organizations and individuals can provide standardized details for VA to review. The information collected is reviewed by staff in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) National Center for Healthcare Advancement and Partnerships (HAP) to determine if the organization or individual requesting recognition meets the Department’s criteria for recognition. VA has created a HAP Application that is completed through an online system.

The revisions to this information collection are only with respect to 47 C.F.R. 73.1675 and 47 C.F.R. 73.1690, and are made for informational purposes only, and do not create new or modify existing burdens. 47 C.F.R. 73.1675(c)(1) continues to state that where an FM, TV, or Class A TV licensee or permittee proposes to mount an auxiliary facility on an AM tower, it must also demonstrate compliance with § 1.30003 in the license application. The R&O revises paragraph (b) to note that the application for a construction permit is now made electronically via the Commission’s Licensing and Management System using Form 2100, but this change does not modify any existing paperwork burdens or establish any new ones. 47 C.F.R. 73.1690(c) continues to require FM, TV, or Class A TV station applicants to submit an exhibit demonstrating compliance with § 1.30003 or § 1.30002, as applicable, with a modification of license application, except for applications solely filed pursuant to paragraphs (c)(6) or (c)(9) of this section, where the installation is located on or near an AM tower, as defined in § 1.30002. The R&O revises paragraph (b) to indicate that certain changes can be made on FCC Form 2100, but this change does not modify any existing paperwork burdens or establish new ones, and similarly, paragraph (c)(3) is revised to note that the modification of license application is now made on Form 2100, but this change does not modify any existing paperwork burdens or establish any new ones.

Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) Repository

Key Information

Abstract

The General Services Administration is in the process of developing an application to facilitate and provide a centralized repository of Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs). Many product vendors already provide product ACRs on their public websites, upon request, and as a requirement during the solicitation process. Federal agencies also often require submission of ACRs as part of quotes, bids, and/or proposals in response to procurement solicitations. The ACR Repository will allow vendors to list or upload their ACRs into a centralized database to make it more efficient for government buyers to locate relevant ACRs when conducting market research or evaluating product accessibility in the course of the procurement process, as required by Section 508 and in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR Parts 39). While there is no statutory nor regulatory requirement specifically addressing an ACR collection, there is a requirement for ACRs to be provided in the acquisition process. A repository would reduce burden for both vendors and government buyers by centralizing the location of ACRs, improving the consistency of ACR format, and providing a method for searching and retrieving ACRs. Participation and provision of ACRs via the ACR Repository will be voluntary unless stipulated otherwise in solicitation and/or contract requirements. The data collected includes product names, versions, and conformance to Section 508 standards. A view of the data collected will be available to the public via the ACR Repository with limitations. More detailed ACR data will be accessible using Login.gov to authenticate users. Users cannot edit vendor data or ACR data; only vendors can edit their own data and the data for their respective products they own.

Death Gratuity

Key Information

Abstract

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, Public Law 110-181, was enacted on January 28, 2008. Section 1105 of P.L. 110-181 amended the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) creating a new section, 5 U.S.C. § 8102a effective upon enactment. This section establishes a FECA death gratuity benefit of up to $100,000 for eligible beneficiaries of federal employees and Non-Appropriated Fund Instrumentality employees who die from injuries incurred in connection with service with an Armed Force in a contingency operation which also permits agencies to authorize retroactive payment of the death gratuity for employees who died on or after October 7, 2001 in service with an Armed Force in the theater of operations of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. It also allows federal employees to vary the order of precedence of beneficiaries or to name alternate beneficiaries and provides that the OWCP Forms CA-40, CA-41, and CA-42 are to be used to designate beneficiaries and initiate the payment process for death gratuity benefits. Form CA-40 is an optional form that requests the information necessary from the employee to accomplish this variance and to name alternate beneficiaries only if the employee wishes to do so. OWCP Form CA-41 provides the means for those named beneficiaries and possible recipients to file claims for those benefits and requests information from such claimants so that OWCP may determine their eligibility for payment. Further, the statute and regulations require agencies to notify OWCP immediately upon the death of a covered employee. OWCP Form CA-42 provides the means to accomplish this notification and requests information necessary to administer any claim for benefits resulting from such a death. Form CA-40 is an optional form that requests the information necessary from the employee to accomplish this variance and to name alternate beneficiaries only if the employee wishes to do so. Form CA-41 provides the means for those named beneficiaries and possible recipients to file claims for those benefits and requests information from such claimants so that OWCP may determine their eligibility for payment. Further, the statute and regulations require agencies to notify OWCP immediately upon the death of a covered employee. OWCP Form CA-42 provides the means to accomplish this notification and requests information necessary to administer any claim for benefits resulting from such a death.

HTOPS November 2026 Non-Substantive Change

Key Information

Abstract

The High-Frequency Surveys Program was established as a natural progression from the creation of the Household Pulse Survey. The Census Bureau developed the Household Pulse Survey to produce near real-time data in a time of urgent and acute need to inform federal and state action in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Changes in the measures over time provided insight into individuals’ experiences on social and economic dimensions during the period of the pandemic. It has evolved to include content on other emergent social and economic issues facing households and is designed to supplement the federal statistical system’s traditional benchmark data products with a new data source that provides relevant and timely information based on a high-quality sample frame, data integration, and cooperative expertise. In January 2025, the HPS and CHP will be relaunched as the Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (HTOPS). The HTOPS will continue the strong tradition of the HPS by rapidly providing insight into national events that have social and economic impacts on U.S. households. It will complement more traditional federal surveys by producing data much closer to real time as the events develop and with the new longitudinal design, have the ability to track changes over time. Along with HPS content, the survey will enable the Census Bureau to address research and content development needs for its census and survey programs. The HTOPS will be one more tool among the Census Bureau's data collection efforts to provide the nation with quality, up-to-date information that informs our future.

Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS)

Key Information

Abstract

The Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS) provides eligible governments, which include tribal, state, and general-purpose local governments, an opportunity to review the Census Bureau’s legal boundary data to ensure the Census Bureau has the correct boundary, name, and status information and make necessary updates. BAS also allows for the review and update of census designated place (CDP) boundaries and linear features. It fulfills the agency’s responsibility as part of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, for which the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-16 designates the Census Bureau as the lead federal agency for maintaining national data about legal government boundaries, as well as statistical and administrative boundaries. It also supports the geospatial data steward responsibilities of the Geospatial Data Act, the Evidence Act, OMB E-Gov, the Federal Geographic Data Committee, Data.gov, GeoPlatform.gov, the National Map, the Geographic Names Information System, and the Geospatial One-Stop. The Census Bureau uses the boundaries collected during BAS to tabulate data for various censuses and surveys including the decennial census, American Community Survey (ACS), and Population Estimates Program (PEP). It also uses the boundaries collected through BAS to support other programs such as the Redistricting Data Program, the Economic Census, the Geographically Updated Population Certification Program, and the Special Census program. Other federal programs also rely on accurate boundaries collected through BAS. The Department of Housing and Urban Development uses boundaries to determine jurisdictional eligibility for various grant programs, such as the Community Development Block Grant program. In addition, the Department of Agriculture uses boundaries to determine eligibility for various rural housing and economic development programs.

[NCIPC] Advancing Violence Epidemiology in Real-Time (AVERT)

Key Information

Abstract

Advancing Violence Epidemiology in Real-Time (AVERT) data collection integrates, expands, and enhances previous data sharing efforts with public health departments initiated under the Firearm Injury Surveillance Through Emergency Rooms (FASTER) program, which provided funding for 12 jurisdictions to share firearm injury-related ED visit data with CDC. The goal of AVERT is to build on the FASTER program and provide funding to a minimum of 10 jurisdictions to share timely ED data for all firearm injuries (regardless of intent), other violence-related injuries, and mental health conditions. AVERT is made possible because the vast majority of the participating health departments are already rapidly collecting extensive data on ED visits in their jurisdiction and using these data for the identification of public health concerns, including flu, heat-related illness, and disaster-related health issues. This Revision includes general adjustments and a slight reduction in burden.

Incarcerated People's Communications Services (IPCS) 2026 Mandatory Data Collection, WC Docket Nos. 23-62, 12-375, FCC 25-75

Key Information

Abstract

On November 6, 2025, the Commission released the 2025 IPCS Order (FCC 25-75) in which it established a regulatory framework that is faithful to the Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act of 2022 and is also consistent with the record that has developed since its enactment. The Order created a durable, predictable, and lawful framework that properly balances the Commission’s implementation of the dual statutory mandates of the Martha Wright-Reed Act—just and reasonable rates for consumers and fair compensation for providers—and thereby ensures the continued availability of IPCS to incarcerated people and preserves correctional officials’ ability to provide safe and secure access to IPCS. In the 2025 IPCS Order, to ensure that it has the data needed to discharge its responsibilities under the Act, the Commission reaffirmed its prior delegation of authority to the Wireline Competition Bureau (WCB) and the Office of Economics and Analytics (OEA) to conduct an additional data collection to enable the Commission to set permanent rate caps for both audio and video IPCS. Pursuant to that delegation of authority, WCB and OEA released an Order detailing the specific requirements for the 2026 Mandatory Data Collection. The information collection will collect detailed, industry-wide data from all IPCS providers.
