Abstract

FMCSA registers for-hire motor carriers of regulated commodities and of passengers, surface freight forwarders, property brokers, and certain Mexico-domiciled motor carriers, as mandatory reporting. These motor carriers may conduct transportation services in the United States only if they are registered with FMCSA. FMCSA is still accepting forms OP-1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), and OP-1(NNA) for existing registrants wishing to apply for additional authorities. FMCSA requires Form OP-1(MX) for Mexico-domiciled carriers that wish to operate beyond the U.S. municipalities on the U.S.-Mexico border and their commercial zones. Information collected through these forms, as an ICR extension, aids FMCSA in determining the type of operation a company may run, the cargo it may carry, and the resulting level of insurance coverage the applicant will be required to obtain and maintain to continue its operating authority. The OP-1 series requests information on the applicant’s familiarity with relevant safety requirements, the applicant’s willingness to comply with those requirements during its operations, and the applicant’s willingness to meet any specific statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to its proposed operations. FMCSA also uses information from these forms to prepare (for each applicant) a public notice of the registration application, which is published in the “FMCSA Register.” Publication of this notice initiates a 10-day period during which an interested party may file a complaint seeking denial of the registration on a limited number of statutory grounds. Effective December 12, 2015, OP-1 series forms, with the exception of OP-1(MX), can only be used to apply for additional authorities, not for initial registration with FMCSA. These forms request information to identify the applicant, the nature and scope of its proposed operations, a narrative description of the applicant’s safety policies and procedures, and information regarding the drivers and vehicles it plans to use in U.S. operations. There is no requirement for the OP-1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), and OP-1(NNA) forms be filed on a periodic basis. The forms are filed on an “as needed” basis. Since the rollout of URS Phase I, the sole purpose of these forms is to allow existing registrants to apply for additional authorities. A new OP-1(MX) application form is currently required only if a Mexico-domiciled carrier wishes to extend the scope of its authority or is applying for new authority.

Abstract

The purpose of this request is to renew the currently OMB approved ICR. Form M is required to collect financial, operating, equipment, and employment data from individual motor carriers of property and household goods. All for-hire (common and contract) motor carriers of property with gross annual operating revenue of $3 million or more must file the annual report Form M. Form MP-1 is required to collect financial, operating, equipment, and employment data from individual motor carriers of passengers. All Class I for-hire motor carriers of passengers with gross annual operating revenues of $5 million or more are required to file the annual report Form MP-1. FMCSA has created electronic forms that may be prepared, signed electronically, and submitted to FMCSA via https://ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/ask/. However, forms can still be mailed to FMCSA. The data collected is available to users in its original form. The data are not used by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and, based on a comment to a proposed rule finalized on December 17, 2013 (78 FR 76241), the data are no longer used by trucking associations. The agency is also considering how it might remove some of this reporting requirement, consistent with statue, through a separate rulemaking, but the agency needs to renew the Collection of Information now while that process plays out. Insurance companies, consultants, law firms, academia, trade publications and others may use the data to assess industry growth and its impact on the economy, to identify industry changes that may affect national transportation, and to monitor company financial stability. In the past, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) used the data to inform the national annual input-output and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates, to prepare estimates of industry output, and to provide details on inputs to supplement the information on motor carriers of passengers collected by the U.S. Census Bureau. FMCSA is not aware of anyone currently using this information. FMCSA does not use the information collected through either Form M or Form MP-1, nor does it enforce the filing requirements found in part 369. The Agency was not provided the necessary resources to administer the data collection and the financial reports are of little if any value in fulfilling the Agency’s safety mission. FMCSA estimates that the annual burden hour for this information collection has decreased by approximately 78 hours due to decreased Form M and Form MP-1 submissions received by the Agency between 2018 and 2020.

Abstract

This collection of information is used by the FMCSA to register foreign motor carriers to operate across the Mexico- U.S. border into the United States in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 13902(c) and 49 CFR 368. Data contained on the Form OP-2 will provide the FMCSA with evidence to assess the foreign (Mexico-based) motor carrier’s safety program and its ability to comply with U.S. safety standards. It also provides information concerning changes in each carrier’s operating status to ensure actual compliance with safety requirements. This enables the Agency to maintain an accurate census of registered carriers and ensure safety. There is an increase in the number of respondents and in the burden hours calculated for this renewal. The annual burden hour increase of 831 is due primarily to the increase in the number of updated OP-2 forms filed from 2020 through 2022. The average number of entities which filed updated OP-2 forms in the three-year period 2020 and 2022 increased by 95 percent, compared to the number that registered from 2017 through 2019.

Abstract

HRSA’s Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA) is introducing this 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program to test the rebate model on selected drugs with an agreed-upon Maximum Fair Price (MFP) for price applicability year 2026 starting on January 1, 2026. This approach will test the rebate model in a methodical and thoughtful manner. This information collection request includes the collection of 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program plans, the collection of periodic sales data from drug manufacturers for OPA’s evaluation of the pilot program and for overall 340B Program surveillance, and the collection of data submitted by covered entities to manufacturers to request a rebate.Emergency Justfication:HRSA is seeking emergency clearance because HRSA will need to begin the information collection by October 2025. If HRSA does not receive emergency approval, then manufacturers may argue that they do not have the tools they need to effectuate nonduplication of the MFP and the 340B discount. HRSA has taken all practicable steps to consult with the public to minimize burden (including a 30-day comment period on the “340B Program Notice: Application Process for the 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program” (90 FR 36163). HRSA is submitting this ICR to the Office of Management and Budget for a 5-month emergency approval. Once this clearance is granted, HRSA will create a regular ICR for this collection.

Abstract

Section 372 of the Public Health Service Act requires that the Secretary of Health and Human Services, by award, provide for the establishment and operation of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), which, under oversight of the HRSA, operates the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation system. Significant changes to the collection include: 1) Adding data collection forms for candidates listed in the OPTN organ transplant waiting list to the existing OMB-approved information collection. These forms allow a transplant center to add, change, or remove candidates from the OPTN waiting list after a transplant center completes the patient evaluation. These forms contain information that the OPTN electronic organ matching system uses to match potential organ recipients with available deceased donor organs. There are 83 new data collection forms: candidate listing registration forms of all organs, candidate status justification forms of all applicable organs, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease or Pediatric End-Stage Liver Disease score exception and extension forms, and other forms. Additional revisions to existing OPTN data collection forms were made based on the OPTN Board of Directors (BOD)-approved changes to improve organ matching, allocation, and OPTN policy compliance; 2) Adding OPTN Board of Directors-approved revisions to existing data collection forms to improve organ matching, allocation, and OPTN policy compliance.

Abstract

This is a revision request for the previously approved ICR to continue collecting program monitoring and reporting information from jurisdictions (which include states, Washington, D.C., U.S. Territories, cities, and counties) currently funded under the Overdose Data to Action (CDC-RFA-CE19-1904) notice of funding opportunity (OD2A NOFO). Reporting requirements have been carefully designed to align with and support the specific goals and outcomes outlined in the OD2A NOFO. This revision request is to initiate data collection activities for two new Overdose Data to Action NOFOs, the Overdose Data to Action in States (OD2A-S) will collect program monitoring and reporting information from states and Washington, D.C. The Overdose Data to Action-Limiting Overdose through Collaborative Actions in Localities (OD2A-LOCAL) will collect program monitoring and reporting information from U.S. Territories, cities, and counties. This non substantive change request updates questions used in OMB 0920-1283 Monitoring and Reporting for the Overdose Data to Action Cooperative Agreement to be in accordance with E.O. 14168 & E.O. 14151.

Abstract

The ABIP is a series of agreements between the FCC's Enforcement Bureau and a private entity, usually a state broadcast association, whereby the private entity agrees to facilitate inspections of participating broadcast stations to determine compliance with FCC Rules. Broadcast stations participate in ABIP on a voluntary basis. The private entities notify their local FCC office in writing of those stations that pass the ABIP inspection, and the FCC uses this information to determine which broadcast stations have been certified in compliance with FCC Rules and will not be subject to certain random FCC inspections.
