Response to the Marine Corps NAF Debt Collection Notice

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection provides a formal process for individuals and vendors to respond to a debt notice from a Marine Corps community service business (e.g., a base store or recreational facility). The response form, which is sent by mail, allows a person to choose how to resolve the debt, such as paying in full, setting up a repayment plan, or formally disputing the charge. This information is essential for the Marine Corps to accurately manage its accounts and ensures that individuals are given the opportunity to address the issue before the debt is potentially transferred to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for collection.

Administration for Children and Families Generic for Information Collections related to Gatherings

Key Information

Abstract

This request is to establish a new umbrella generic clearance for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to request information from potential participants at ACF gatherings, such as meetings or conferences. This may include large scale conferences, meetings for grantees or contractors, workshops, trainings, poster sessions, and other in-person and virtual gatherings for individuals with interest in ACF programs (clients, researchers, policymakers, etc.), among others. To ensure ACF has adequate information to plan these activities, the Agency must often collect information from potential participants such as basic contact information, preferences for attendance (mode, special requests, etc.), organizational affiliation, feedback about meeting content, etc. Additionally, some activities require ACF to have additional information to have the means to select the most appropriate participants for attendance according to the type or purpose of a given activity, or to group participants into the most appropriate category or activity during an event. This may include information about poster presentations, speaking panels, training courses, professional perspectives or experiences, etc. In addition, attendees may be asked to submit an application or abstract for prescreening to be selected for attendance. The planning for meetings is most often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act would inhibit the ability to collect information to inform these activities. Therefore, an umbrella generic is necessary to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar information collections related to these activities. As part of this generic, ACF requests OMB provide a response on individual generic information collections within 5 business days. If no response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and scope outlined in this document, ACF may move forward with the proposed information collection.

Division of Energy Employees Occupational Illnesses Compensation (DEEOIC) Authorization Request Forms

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) is the primary agency responsible for administration of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000, as amended (EEOICPA), 42 U.S.C. § 7384 et seq. EEOICPA provides for the payment of compensation to covered employees and, where applicable, survivors of deceased employees, who sustained either an “occupational illness” or a “covered illness” in the performance of duty for the Department of Energy and certain of its contractors and subcontractors. One element of the compensation provided to covered employees is medical benefits for the treatment of their occupational or covered illnesses that are accepted as compensable. OWCP contracts with a private sector bill processing agent that handles many of the tasks associated with paying bills for medical treatment provided to covered employees under EEOICPA. This bill processing agent uses an automated system that matches incoming bills with the authorized medical treatment of covered employees before it issues payments, and a provider of medical treatment, supplies or services to covered employees must provide the bill processing agent with information necessary for creation of an authorization within the agent’s automated system before a bill can be paid. The collection of this information is authorized by 20 CFR 30.400(a) and (c), 30.403, 30.404(b) and 30.700. The information collected by these forms will be used by both OWCP and its bill processing agent in connection with the automated payment of bills submitted by providers of medical treatment, supplies or services. The information submitted, along with other supporting documentation, is used to determine the correct amount to be paid to a provider of medical treatment, supplies or services to beneficiaries under EEOICPA.

Request for Reconsideration--Disability Cessation

Key Information

Abstract

When SSA determines that claimants’ disabilities medically improved; ceased; or are no longer sufficiently disabling, these claimants may ask SSA to reconsider that determination. SSA uses Form SSA-789 to arrange for a hearing or to prepare a decision based on the evidence of record. Specifically, claimants or their representatives use Form SSA-789 to: (1) ask SSA to reconsider a determination; (2) indicate if they wish to appear at a disability hearing; (3) submit any additional information or evidence for use in the reconsidered determination; and (4) indicate if they will need an interpreter for the hearing. The respondents are disability claimants for Social Security benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments who wish to appeal an unfavorable disability cessation determination. We are submitting this non-substantive change request to update the Privacy Act Statement.

Moving to Work,Asset Building Cohort Evaluation

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) at the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) contracted with MEF Associates, with subcontractor Abt Associates, to develop the Research Design and Data Collection and Analysis Plan for an evaluation of the Moving to Work Expansion Asset Building Cohort. As required under the Paperwork Reduction Act, HUD seeks approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for data collection instruments for the evaluation. Moving to Work (MTW) is a HUD demonstration that encourages selected PHAs to test ways to increase the cost effectiveness of federal housing programs, encourage greater self-sufficiency of households receiving housing assistance, and increase housing choice for low-income families. MTW designation gives PHAs relief from some regulations and laws that apply to Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and public housing programs. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 authorized HUD to award MTW authority to 100 additional PHAs by September 2023, and required that new MTW agencies be selected in cohorts with a specific policy focus. The Asset Building Cohort will test two types of asset building programs for HUD households, rent reporting for credit building and an opt-out savings account program. The ABC has 17 PHAs. Of these 17 PHAs, 9 PHAs will implement an opt-out savings program, six PHAs will implement reporting rent payments to credit agencies, and two PHAs have unique asset building programs. The evaluation of the ABC will include these three components: 1) Program Implementation Study 2) Impact Studies: a. Rent Reporting for Credit Building Study i . Quantitative study of impact on credit scores ii. Qualitative study of family experiences with rent reporting b. Opt-Out Savings Account Study i. Household survey To answer the research questions, the evaluation will collect data from multiple sources, including: • Administrative Data o Credit agency data to measure credit scores o HUD administrative data to describe household income and demographics o PHA data to enable random selection of households for the study samples • Program Data o Program documents to describe program implementation and outreach to households o Program data to describe program implementation, such as how many households participated, how much money was deposited by the PHA into the opt-out savings account, and how much the PHA paid to the partner organizations • Primary Data o Program implementation interviews with PHA staff (n=51) o Program implementation interviews with staff of partner organizations (n=12) o Program implementation interviews with HUD-assisted residents (n = 10) o Baseline information form for Rent Reporting study participants (n= 300) o Informed consent form for Rent Reporting study participants (n= 300) o Interviews for Rent Reporting Qualitative study round 1 (n = 40) o Interview for Rent Reporting Qualitative study round 2 (n=40) The data collection activities covered under this ICR are expected to begin in January 2024 and continue through June 2025; phase two of the data collection is expected to begin in June 2025 and continue through January 2027.

Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies

Key Information

Abstract

The information collected serves to identify and develop safety countermeasures that will reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. These Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies -- Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), Special Crash Investigations (SCI), and Special Studies (SS) -- involve voluntary information collections through which NHTSA collects detailed data on real world motor vehicle crashes. Specifically, these systems collect data on vehicle safety system performance, occupant injury information including their kinematic interaction with interior components and scene geometry, marking and traffic controls. Respondents are police agencies that collect information on police-reported motor vehicle crashes, employees of tow yards where crashed vehicles are stored, people involved in these crashes, and hospitals with medical records for the people injured in the crash. For the standard investigation-based crash data studies acquisition process, once a crash has been selected for investigation, crash technicians or investigators locate, visit, measure, and photograph the crash scene; locate, inspect, and photograph vehicles; conduct a telephone or personal interview with the involved individuals or surrogate (another person who can provide occupant or crash information, such as parents for minor, or a parent or spouse for decreased individual); and obtain and record crash injury information received from various medical data sources. These information collections support NHTSA’s mission to save lives and prevent injuries due to traffic crashes. The data collected from these systems are used to describe and analyze circumstances, mechanisms, and consequences of serious motor vehicle crashes in the United States. Additionally, these data are used by NHTSA to identify the primary factors related to the source of crashes and their injury outcomes, develop and evaluate effective safety countermeasures, the establishment and enforcement of motor vehicle regulations, that reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58) (IIJA) was signed into law. The Crash Data section (section 24108) of the IIJA authorizes the Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by delegation) to use funds to enhance the collection of data under CISS by, among other things, including additional data collection sites. As a result of the additional funding provided by the IIJA, in addition to the expansion of data collection from the last modification, NHTSA now plans to phase in 17 additional data collection sites in CISS over the next 3 years. The total data collection sites will incrementally increase from 56 to 73 over the next three years. NHTSA is now accounting for the increases in burden hours for interviewees, police, tow yards and medical facilities for an additional 17 data collection sites. The increase in burden hours and cost for these additional data collection sites are reflected in the Burden to Respondent section of this document. The current approval for Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies collection indicated a total annual 12,063 burden hours; this request increases the total annual burden hours to 17,521. The request for the collection of information is revised due to increasing the number of crashes investigated by Crash Technicians for 2025 and future years for CISS program. The combined impact is an increase of 5,458 total annual burden hours.

Unaccompanied Alien Children Sponsor Application Packet

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary emergency or influx facilities) and ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several instruments directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to achieve compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and other legal requirements related to the assessment of potential sponsors for unaccompanied alien children. This request is to add three new forms to the information collection and revise four existing forms. Details about changes are described in section A15.

Office of Community Services Affordable Housing and Supportive Services Demonstration Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

The Affordable Housing and Supportive Services Demonstration (AHSSD) Data Collection (OMB #0970-0628) was originally approved in March 2024 and then revised in September 2024. The information collection includes individual-level survey instruments and on-site focus groups to collect information from program participants, onsite and virtual interviews to collect information from program staff, and report forms to capture service delivery and outcomes. The Office of Community Services (OCS) Affordable Housing and Supportive Services Demonstration (AHSSD) data collection was approved on March 1, 2024. The approved Quarterly Narrative PPR Guidance requires recipients to provide narrative updates on project activities, accomplishments, challenges, and implementation efforts with question prompts specific to the use of AHSSD funding for the project. The approved guidance document requires grant recipients to provide the AHSSD PPR information using the ACF Standard PPR form (OMB Control #0970-0406). A revision request for the ACF Standard PPR is currently submitted to OMB for review and approval. To minimize changes in reporting format and information collected from AHSSD grant recipients, OCS would like to align the AHSSD-specific PPR form with the currently approved Quarterly Narrative PPR Guidance by incorporating the guidance into the PPR document. This not only minimizes changes but also streamlines reporting by integrating AHSSD-specific prompts with the prompts from the original standard form.

Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Quality Reporting Program (CMS-10432)

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to section 1886(s)(4)(C) of the Social Security Act as added and amended by sections 3401 and 10322 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and further amended by section 4125(c) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, starting in FY 2014 (that is, October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014) and for subsequent fiscal years, IPFs paid under the IPF PPS shall submit pre-defined quality measures to the CMS. Such data shall be submitted in a form and manner, and at a time specified by the Secretary. Section 1886(s)(4)(A) of the Act provides that IPFs that fail to submit data on the selected quality measures and comply with other administrative requirements will have their IPF prospective payment system (PPS) payment updates reduced by 2.0 percentage points. This is a revision of the currently approved information collection request. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS’) quality reporting programs promote higher quality, more efficient healthcare for Medicare beneficiaries by collecting and reporting on quality-of-care metrics. This information is made available to consumers, both to empower Medicare beneficiaries and inform decision-making, as well as to incentivize healthcare facilities to make continued improvements. Specifically, CMS has implemented quality measure reporting programs for multiple settings, including for the Inpatient Psychiatric Facility (IPF) setting, to achieve its overarching priorities and initiatives, including the National Quality Strategy and the Meaningful Measure 2.0 Framework. In particular, Meaningful Measures 2.0 promotes innovation and modernization of all aspects of quality to better address health care priorities and gaps, emphasize digital quality measurement, and promote patient perspectives by supporting five interrelated goals: (1) empower consumers to make good health care choices through patient-directed quality measures and public transparency, (2) leverage quality measures to promote health equity and close gaps in care, (3) streamline quality measurement, (4) leverage measures to drive outcome improvement through public reporting and payment programs, and (5) improve quality measure efficiency by transitioning to digital measures and using advanced data analytics. The information collection requirements for the FY 2014 through FY 2028 program years (that is, data submitted from CY 2013 through CY 2027) are currently approved under OMB control number 0938-1171 (expiration date January 31, 2027). This request covers updates to the data collection requirements beginning with the FY 2026 payment determination (that is data submitted in CY 2025) and subsequent years.
