[Medicaid] Medicaid Managed Care and Supporting Regulations (CMS-10855)

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information request is associated with our September 26, 2024 (89 FR 79020) final rule (CMS-2434-F; RIN 0938-AU28). We intend to fold the following collection of information requirements and burden estimates under CMS-10108 (OMB 0938-0920). However, there are a number of conflicting activities that make this impractical at this time. To address those conflicts, as a stop gap measure we are proposing to submit the collection of information requirements and burden estimates under CMS-10855 (OMB 0938-1445). When ready we will be folding them to their proper place under CMS-10108 (OMB 0938-0920). Most Medicaid beneficiaries receive either all or part of their health care benefits through Medicaid managed care programs, including their prescription drug benefits. Because of the specialized nature of the prescription drug benefit, many of the Medicaid managed care plans (MCOs, PIHPS, or PAHPS) either own, or contract with, PBMs to administer the pharmacy benefit. In § 438.3(s), Medicaid MCOs, PIHPs, and PAHPs that provide coverage of covered outpatient drugs (CODs) would be required to structure any contract that it has with any subcontractor (e.g., PBM) for the delivery or administration of the COD benefit so that the subcontractor is required to report separately the amounts related to the incurred claims described in § 438.8(e)(2) to the managed care plan. The provisions would ensure that medical loss ratios (MLRs) reported by MCOs, PIHPs and PAHPs that use subcontractors in the delivery of COD coverage would be more accurate and transparent. The separate payment requirements would help States and managed care plans better understand whether they are appropriately and efficiently paying for the delivery of CODs, a significant part of which is funded by the Federal Government.

Mine Rescue Teams; Arrangements for Emergency Medical Assistance and Transportation for Injured Persons; Agreements; Reporting Requirements; Posting Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

The respondents for the paperwork provisions of this rule are underground mine operators. The records will be used by mine operators, supervisors, and employees, and State and Federal mine inspectors to provide assurance that each mine operator and mine rescue team is prepared for a mine emergency. The records show that the mine rescue team equipment has been examined and tested and is in good working order. The training records show that the mine rescue team members and responsible persons at the mine are competent to respond to a mine emergency involving a fire, an explosion, or a gas or water inundation. The records greatly assist those who use them in making decisions that will ultimately affect the safety of all persons working underground. These information collection requirements help assure that properly trained mine rescue teams are readily available to save endangered miners in life-threatening situations. In addition, the training requirements in this information collection will help assure the safety of the mine rescue team itself.

Brownfields Programs - Accomplishment Reporting in Assessment, Cleanup, and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES) (Revision)

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR covers the collection of information from those organizations that receive cooperative agreements, contracts, and Targeted Brownfields Assessment (TBA) funds from EPA under the authority of the section 104(k) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the Brownfields Utilization, Investment, and Local Development (BUILD) Act (Pub.L. 115-141). CERCLA 104(k), as amended, authorizes EPA to award grants or cooperative agreements and contract funding to states, tribes, local governments, other eligible entities, and nonprofit organizations to support the assessment and cleanup of brownfields sites. Under section 101(39) of CERCLA, a brownfields site means real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Cooperative agreement recipients (recipients) have general reporting and record keeping requirements as a condition of their cooperative agreement that result in burden. A portion of this reporting and record keeping burden is authorized under 2 CFR Part 1500 and identified in the EPAs general grants ICR (OMB Control Number 2030-0020). EPA requires Brownfields program recipients to maintain and report additional information to EPA on the uses and accomplishments associated with funded brownfields activities. EPA has expanded programmatic reporting requirements to include TBA contractors and technical assistance contractors. EPA will use several forms to assist recipients and contractors in reporting the information and to ensure consistency of the information collected. EPA uses this information to meet Federal stewardship responsibilities to manage and track how program funds are being spent, to evaluate the performance of the Brownfields Cleanup and Land Revitalization Program, to meet the Agency's reporting requirements under the Government Performance and Results Act, and to report to Congress and other program stakeholders on the status and accomplishments of the program.

Whistleblower Incentives and Protections

Key Information

Abstract

FinCEN is proposing a rule to establish a whistleblower program that offers incentives and protections to encourage individuals who have information about potential violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), Trading With the Enemy Act of 1917 (TWEA), and Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act) to voluntarily report such information (the “Whistleblower Program”). The proposed rule would implement section 6314 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AML Act) and the Anti-Money Laundering Whistleblower Improvement Act (AML Whistleblower Improvement Act), which were enacted into law as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21 NDAA) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, respectively. The Whistleblower Program will contribute to the U.S. government’s efforts to safeguard the financial system from illicit use, promote national security, and combat money laundering, terrorist financing, proliferation financing, and related crimes. This notice of proposed rulemaking invites comments from the public regarding all aspects of the proposed rule, as well as comments in response to specific questions.

[Medicaid] Medical Necessity and Contract Amendments Under Mental Health Parity (CMS-10556)

Key Information

Abstract

The final rule amends the Medicaid and CHIP regulations to implement the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA). MHPAEA is a federal law that generally prevents group health plans and health insurance issuers that provide mental health or substance use disorder (MH/SUD) benefits from imposing less favorable benefit limitations on those benefits than on medical/surgical benefits. The final rule applies mental health parity requirements to Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), Section 1937 Alternative Benefit Plans (ABPs), and the CHIP. The final rule also contains provisions related to the disclosure of information related to the reason for denial of reimbursement or payment for MH/SUD benefits. The text only clarifies the expectations for disclosing information concerning the denial of reimbursement or payment for MH/SUD benefits. It does not impose any new or revised third-party disclosure requirements.

New Source Performance Standards for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKKa) (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments to the Standards of Performance for new, modified, and reconstructed stationary combustion turbines and stationary gas turbines based on the preliminary results of a review of available control technologies for limiting emissions of criteria air pollutants. This review of the new source performance standards (NSPS) is required by the Clean Air Act (CAA). In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS.

U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information for the SF-424 Form

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information form for the SF-424 is used together with the SF-424, Application for Federal Assistance. Several years ago ED made a decision to switch from the Application for Federal Education Assistance or ED 424 (1890-0017) collection (now 1894-0007) to the SF-424, in order to adhere with Federal-wide forms standardization and streamlining efforts, especially with widespread agency use of Grants.gov. There were several data elements/questions on the ED 424 that were required for applicants and were not included on the SF-424. Therefore, ED put these questions that were already cleared as part of the 1894-0007 collection on a form entitled the, U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information for the SF-424. The questions on this form deal with the following areas: Project Director identifying and contact information; General Education Provision Act Section 427 Assurance; New Potential Grantee; Human Subjects Research; and Infrastructure Programs and Build America, Buy America Act Applicability (BABAA). The ED supplemental information form can be used with any of the SF-424 forms in the SF-424 forms family, as applicable.

Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb) (Proposed Rule for WWWW)

Key Information

Abstract

The Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) were proposed on September 20, 1994; promulgated on December 19, 1995; and amended on both August 25, 1997, and May 10, 2006. The Agency received petitions on various aspects of the standards, however, and the 2006 rule was remanded in 2008. EPA is finalizing a rulemaking to address that remand, which includes a reevaluation of maximum achievable control technology (MACT) floors and the next iteration of the 5-year review of the standards as required by the CAA. The EPA is proposing revised requirements to existing subpart Cb (Emissions Guidelines and Compliance Times for Large Municipal Waste Combustors That are Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994) on January 23, 2024. The EPA is proposing the revised requirements in new subpart 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart WWWW (Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before January 23, 2024). Subpart WWWW applies to existing facilities constructed either on or before January 23, 2024 that own and operate municipal waste combustion (MWC) units with a combustion capacity greater than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste (large MWC units). In general, all EG standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the EG. The final amendments reflect the results from the MACT floor reevaluation and the 5-year review; remove startup, shutdown and malfunction exclusions and exceptions; streamline regulatory language; revise recordkeeping and electronic reporting requirements; and clarify requirements for certain air curtain incinerators. Additionally, the amendments re-establish new source and existing source applicability dates. Large MWC units that are currently subject to the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) of subparts Ea and Eb will become “existing” sources under the amended standards and would be required to meet the revised emission guidelines (EG) under subpart WWWW by the applicable compliance date for the revised guidelines. Burdens associated with the 2006 standards are addressed separately under EPA ICR Number 1847.09 and are not included in this ICR. This ICR applies only to the incremental burden incurred by existing units due to the revisions to these standards. The guidelines do not apply directly to large MWC unit owners and operators, since they are implemented through state plans (SPs). If a state does not develop, adopt, and submit an approved state plan, or if a state’s plan is not approved, the EPA must promulgate a Federal plan to implement the emission guidelines in a state without its own SP. This information is being collected to ensure compliance with the final amendments to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb.

Designation of Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS) as CERCLA Hazardous Substances (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

Under Section 102(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), the EPA will designate PFOA and PFOS, including their salts and structural isomers, as hazardous substances. The designation of PFOA and PFOS as hazardous substances will require any facility that identifies a release of one pound or more within a 24-hour period of these substances, including their associated salts and structural isomers, to report the release to the National Response Center (NRC) under section 103 of CERCLA and to the state and local officials under section 304 of Emergency Planning and Community Right-to Know Act (EPCRA). The implementing regulations of CERCLA section 103 and EPCRA section 304 are codified at 40 CFR parts 302 and 355, respectively. In addition, pursuant to Section 111(g) of CERCLA, an owner or operator of a facility where a hazardous substance has been released is required to provide reasonable notice to potential injured parties by publication in local newspapers serving the affected area. Furthermore, as required by CERCLA section 120(h), when a federal agency sells or transfers federally owned real property, the agency must provide notice of the presence of hazardous substances and covenants regarding the remediation of such hazardous substances in certain circumstances. The designation will also place an obligation on DOT to list and regulate CERCLA designated hazardous substances as hazardous materials under the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act.

NESHAP for Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXX) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXX) were promulgated on May 20, 1999; and amended on: March 22, 2001; June 23, 2003; April 20, 2006; June 30, 2015 (80 FR 37366); January 18, 2017 (82 FR 5408), and November 19, 2020 (85 FR 73902). These regulations apply to both new and existing ferroalloy production facilities that manufacture ferromanganese and silicomanganese, and that are either major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions or are co-located at major sources of HAPs. The following affected facilities at ferroalloy production plants are subject to this NESHAP rule: electric arc furnaces; casting operations; metal oxygen refining (MOR) processes; crushing and screening operations; and outdoor fugitive dust sources. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. The burden in this ICR reflects the burden associated with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the regulation for new and existing sources included in the June 30, 2015 Risk and Technology Review (RTR) final rule amendments and January 18, 2017 reconsideration notice. The burden associated with the 2015 final rule amendments and reconsideration notice is accounted for in EPA ICR No. 2448.02 (OMB Control No. 2060-0676). The 2020 amendment implemented the plain language reading of the “major source” and “area source” definitions of section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and provide that a major source can be reclassified to area source status at any time upon reducing its potential to emit (PTE) hazardous air pollutants (HAP) to below the major source thresholds and required this notification be submitted electronically. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXX.  In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

Form PF and Rule 204(b)-1

Key Information

Abstract

Form PF and rule 204(b)-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) require certain investment advisers registered with the SEC to report confidential information about the private funds they advise. The rules implement provisions of Title IV of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”), which amended the Advisers Act to require the SEC to, among other things, establish reporting requirements for advisers to private funds. The information collected on Form PF is designed to facilitate the Financial Stability Oversight Council’s (“FSOC”) monitoring of systemic risk in the private fund industry and assist FSOC in determining whether and how to deploy its regulatory tools with respect to nonbank financial companies. The SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) also may use information collected on Form PF in their regulatory programs, including examinations, investigations, and investor protection efforts relating to private fund advisers. Form PF is a joint form between the SEC and the CFTC with respect to sections 1 and 2; the SEC solely adopted the other sections of the form.

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 60, Subparts Ea and Eb) apply to existing and new facilities with a municipal waste combustor unit capacity greater than 225 megagrams per day of municipal solid waste. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subparts Ea and Eb.

Abstract

The Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR) Resource Conservation and Sustainability Division (RCSD) requires the ability to collect information from new Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grant recipients, formally known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), in a consistent and timely manner. Additionally, information is necessary to implement sustainable materials management, an approach fundamental to RCSDs mission with authority under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). This hybrid generic information collection request (ICR) establishes the framework over the life of this ICR to implement information collection activities under these authorities.
