Abstract

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses Fellowship Management System (FMS) to collect, process, and manage data from nonfederal applicants seeking training or public health support services through CDC fellowships. FMS is used to electronically submit fellowship applications, submit fellowship host site proposals, track fellows’ activities during their fellowships, and maintain fellowship alumni directories online. FMS is a key tool in CDC’s efforts to maintain and develop a robust public health workforce. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted to modify two forms to improve question clarity, improve relevance of response options, and streamline question logic. There is no change anticipated to the currently approved burden.

Abstract

Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act (17 CFR 270.12b-1) permits a mutual fund to bear expenses associated with the distribution of its shares, provided that the fund complies with certain requirements. Rule 12b-1 requires, among other things, that the fund adopt a written plan describing all material aspects of the proposed financing of distribution ("rule 12b-1 plan"). The rule 12b-1 plan must be approved by the fund's board of directors, including the independent directors (as described in the rule), and, if the rule 12b-1 plan is being adopted after public offering of the fund's voting securities, by a majority of the fund's outstanding voting securities.

Abstract

The American Relief Act, 2025 provides $250 million in supplemental Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) funding for necessary expenses directly related to the consequences of major disasters and emergencies declared pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) occurring in 2023 and 2024. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) determined that these funds will be used for child care recovery grants to state, territory, and Tribal Lead Agencies administering the CCDF program in areas affected by those disasters and emergencies. ACF is required to distribute the child care disaster supplemental funding to eligible states, territories, and Tribes based on assessed need, notwithstanding the allotment formula set forth in the CCDBG Act. This information collection is necessary to solicit applications from eligible jurisdictions that describe the need for funding to address impacts of the disasters or emergencies. The Office of Child Care (OCC) plans to distribute the funds by the end of Federal Fiscal Year 2025 so that impacted jurisdictions can begin the process of rebuilding child care. This nonsubstantive change request updates dates based on timing of approval.

Abstract

This request is for an extension of the current information collection. Pursuant to the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act (Moratorium Protection Act) and the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), certain fish products may be excluded from U.S. markets. For example, if a nation is identified under the Moratorium Protection Act and fails to receive a positive certification decision from the Secretary of Commerce, certain fish or fish products from that nation may be prohibited from import to the United States. Similarly, if a nation does not receive a comparability finding for a fishery under the MMPA, products from that nation's fishery may also be prohibited. In each case, if certain fish or fish products of a nation are subject to import prohibitions (e.g., harvest of a particular fishery), NMFS requires that similar fish or fish products from that nation that are not subject to the import prohibitions be accompanied by Certification of Admissibility (COA) fish harvest record form to be eligible for entry into the United States. The benefit of this data collection is to ensure the continuance of permissible trade where import restrictions would otherwise result in blanket prohibitions on all relevant fish and fish products.

Abstract

NTED, CDP, and NDEMU all utilize the Kirkpatrick Four Level Training Evaluation Model to assess training effectiveness. Donald Kirkpatrick developed the four-level model of training evaluation: Level 1 evaluation captures the students’ perception or reaction to training. Level 2 completes a pre-post comparison of learning via tests/examinations and performance assessment checklists of the student learning (change in behavior). Level 3 evaluation instruments capture how the training transfers to the students’ work environment and their particular job. Lastly, Level 4 captures information about the return on key stakeholder expectations of the course or training program. The data collected by these training evaluation forms is shared with representatives from each course/program’s respective target audience during three-year course/program reviews. All three organizations analyze the data to determine what revisions are needed in curriculum, delivery, and to elicit inputs to improve training while providing documentation as to how training was applied, and how it impacts the individual and organization.

Abstract

The Controlled Substances Act requires all businesses and individuals who manufacture, distribute, import, export, and conduct research and laboratory analysis with controlled substances to register with the DEA. 21 U.S.C. 822, 21 CFR 1301.11 and 1301.13. Registration is a necessary control measure that prevents diversion by ensuring the closed system of distribution of controlled substances can be monitored by the DEA and that the businesses and individuals handling controlled substances are qualified to do so and are accountable. Any person who is registered may apply to be reregistered no more than 60 days before the expiration date of their registration. 21 CFR 1301.13(b). However, a bulk manufacturer of a schedule I or II controlled substance or an importer of a schedule I or II controlled substance may apply to be reregistered no more than 120 days before the expiration date of their registration. 21 CFR 1301.13(b).

Abstract

CISA is responsible for performing, coordinating, and supporting response to information security incidents, which may originate outside the Federal community and affect users within it, or originate within the Federal community and affect users outside of it. Often, therefore, the effective handling of security incidents relies on information sharing among individual users, industry, and the Federal Government, which may be facilitated by and through CISA. This information collection collects cybersecurity incident reports related to federal agency information systems, mandatory reports on behalf of certain federal regulatory agencies, mandatory reports due to contractual requirements, and voluntary reports from members of the public. This ICR, which is authorized by the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA) and the Homeland Security Act, is distinct from incident reporting under the This collection is intended to replace the current incident reporting form, prior to the effective date of the CIRCIA Final Rule, with a revised question set that will enrich the value and analytical capabilities on the data collected under these other incident reporting and information sharing authorities.

Abstract

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, (the Affordable Care Act or the Act) was enacted on March 23, 2010. Section 2712 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), as added by the Affordable Care Act, and the Department's final regulation (26 CFR 54.9815-2712, 29 CFR 2590.715-2712, 45 CFR 147.2712) provides rules regarding rescissions of health coverage for group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage (80 FR 72191). Under the statute and final regulations, a group health plan, or a health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage, generally must not rescind coverage except in the case of fraud or an intentional misrepresentation of a material fact. This standard applies to all rescissions, whether in the group, or individual insurance market, or for self-insured coverage. These rules also apply regardless of any contestability period of the plan or issuer. The PHS Act section 2712 mandated a new advance notice requirement when coverage is rescinded where still permissible. Specifically, the second sentence in section 2712 provides that coverage may not be cancelled unless prior notice is provided, and then only as permitted under PHS Act sections 2702(c) and 2742(b). Under these final regulations, even if prior notice is provided, rescission is only permitted in cases of fraud, or an intentional misrepresentation of a material fact as permitted under the cited provisions. These final regulations provide that a group health plan, or health insurance issuer offering group health insurance coverage, must provide at least 30 days advance notice to an individual before coverage may be rescinded. The notice must be provided regardless of whether the rescission is of group or individual coverage; or whether, in the case of group coverage, the coverage is insured or self-insured, or the rescission applies to an entire group or only to an individual within the group.

The Black Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 30 U.S.C. 901 et seq., may require parties to exchange all medical information about the miner they develop in connection with a claim for benefits, including information parties do not intent to submit as evidence in the claim. BLBA regulations help protect a miner's health, assist unrepresented parties, and promote accurate benefit determinations. The potential parties to a BLBA claim include the benefits claimant, the responsible coal mine operator and its insurance carrier, and the Director of OWCP. Under BLBA, a party of a party's agent who receives medical information about the miner must send a copy to all other parties within 30 days after receipt or, if a hearing before an administrative law judge has already been scheduled, at least 20 days before the hearing. The exchanged information is entered into the record of the claim only if a party submits it into evidence.
