Company-Run Annual Stress Test Reporting Template and Documentation for Covered Institutions with Total Consolidated Assets of $250 Billion or More

Key Information

Abstract

Section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) requires certain financial companies, including national banks and federal savings associations, to conduct annual stress tests and requires the primary financial regulatory agency of those financial companies to issue regulations implementing the stress test requirements. Under section 165(i)(2), a covered institution is required to submit to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) and to its primary financial regulatory agency a report at such time, in such form, and containing such information as the primary financial regulatory agency may require.

Rule 13e-1

Key Information

Abstract

Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) makes it unlawful for an issuer to purchase its own equity securities unless the purchase is in compliance with such rules and regulations as set forth by the Commission for protection of public interest or for the protection of the investors. In order to facilitate compliance with Section 13(e), the Commission adopted Rule 13e-1 (17 CFR 240.13e-1). Rule 13e-1 states that an issuer that has received notice that it is the subject of a tender offer made under Section 14(d)(1) of the Act, that has commenced under Rule 14d-2, cannot purchase any of its equity securities during the tender offer unless the issuer first files a statement with the Commission containing the required information under Rule 13e-1. This rule is in keeping with the Commission’s statutory responsibility to prescribe rules and regulations that are necessary for the protection of investors. A principal function of the Federal securities laws’ disclosure provisions is to make information available to the securities markets. The Commission uses very little of the collected information for itself, except on an occasional basis in the enforcement of the securities laws. The information required by the Commission assures the public availability and dissemination of such information.

Abstract

The OGE Form 201 collects certain information from, and provides certain information to, persons who seek access to public financial disclosure reports and to other covered records. The form, with the proposed modifications, reflects the requirements of the Ethics in Government Act, including the Representative Louise McIntosh Slaughter Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK Act), as amended in 2013. These requirements relate to information collected about the identity of the requester, as well as any other person on whose behalf a record is sought, and requires that the requester acknowledge his or her awareness of the legal uses of the information contained in public financial disclosure reports and potential civil penalties for persons who obtain or use a public financial disclosure report for a prohibited purpose. The form also alerts requestors that intentional falsification of the information required by the form may result in prosecution under 18 U.S.C. section 1001. Requestors are mostly members of the public, particularly representatives of the news media, public interest groups, and private citizens, with some Federal agencies and employees.

Federal-State Unemployment Insurance Program Data Exchange Standardization

Key Information

Abstract

The Department is required by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 to designate eXtensible Markup Language (XML) as a data exchange standard. The data exchange standards help improve the interoperability of these systems that collect and exchange information for UI administrative purposes. Through this regulation, the Department makes use of data exchange standards for ICON and SIDES. To improve UI program operations by states, the Department has been the facilitating entity for development and implementation of automated systems that states may adopt for efficiently processing claims and improving program integrity. These automated systems, which have been developed through a collaborative effort with states and the National Association of Workforce Agencies (NASWA), have replaced manual paper processing with automated exchanges of information between states as well as those between states and employers. The Department provides funding to facilitate the development and implementation of these automated systems, and encourages the use of these systems by states. The Federal requirement to use this standard requires the Department to establish, through regulation, that all such exchanges of electronic information must use XML to comply with the Act.

Protections for Transit Workers under Section 5333(b) Urban Program

Key Information

Abstract

Under 49 U.S.C. 5333(b), when Federal funds are used to acquire, improve, or operate a transit system, the Department must ensure that the recipient of those funds establishes arrangements to protect the rights of affected transit employees. Federal law requires such arrangements to be ``fair and equitable,'' and the Department of Labor (DOL or "the Department") must certify the arrangements before the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) can award certain funds to grantees. These employee protective arrangements must include provisions that may be necessary for the preservation of rights, privileges, and benefits under existing collective bargaining agreements or otherwise; the continuation of collective bargaining rights; the protection of individual employees against a worsening of their positions related to employment; assurances of employment to employees of acquired transportation systems; assurances of priority of reemployment of employees whose employment is ended or who are laid off; and paid training or retraining programs. 49 U.S.C. 5333(b)(2). Pursuant to 29 CFR Part 215, upon receipt of copies of applications for Federal assistance subject to 49 U.S.C. 5333(b) from the FTA, together with a request for the certification of employee protective arrangements from the Department of Labor, DOL will process those applications, which must be in final form. The FTA will provide the Department with the information necessary to enable the Department to process employee protections for certification of the project. This ICR contains the information collected when DOL refers for review the grant application and the proposed terms and conditions to unions representing transit employees in the service area of the project and to the applicant and/or sub-recipient.

Rule 19b-1 (17 CFR 270.19b-1) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 - Frequency of Distribution of Capital Gains

Key Information

Abstract

Section 19(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 authorizes the Commission to regulate registered investment company (“fund”) distributions of long-term capital gains made more frequently than once every twelve months. Accordingly, rule 19b-1(e) permits a fund to apply to the Commission for permission to distribute long-term capital gains that would otherwise be prohibited by the rule if the fund did not foresee the circumstances that created the need for the distribution. The application must set forth the pertinent facts and explain the circumstances that justify the distribution. An application that meets those requirements is deemed to be granted unless the Commission denies the request within 15 days after the Commission receives the application. Rule 19b-1(e) allows a fund, in unforeseen circumstances, to request timely authorization to make a distribution that would not otherwise be permitted by the rule. The Commission uses the information required by paragraph (e) to determine whether a request should be granted under this paragraph.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2027

Key Information

Abstract

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in various subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, U.S. history, and civics. NAEP is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education. NCES is responsible for designing and executing the assessment, including designing the assessment procedures and methodology, developing the assessment content, selecting the final assessment content, sampling schools and students, recruiting schools, administering the assessment, scoring student responses, determining the analysis procedures, analyzing the data, and reporting the results. The National Assessment Governing Board (henceforth referred to as the Governing Board or NAGB), appointed by the Secretary of Education but independent of the Department, is a bipartisan group whose members include governors, state legislators, local and state school officials, educators, business representatives, and members of the general public. The Governing Board sets policy for NAEP and is responsible for developing the frameworks and test specifications that serve as the blueprint for the assessments. NAEP consists of two assessment programs: the NAEP Long-term Trend (LTT) assessment and the main NAEP assessment. The LTT assessments are given at the national level only and are administered to students at ages 9, 13, and 17 in a manner that is very different from that used for the main NAEP assessments. LTT reports mathematics and reading results that present trend data since the 1970s. LTT does not provide scores for individual students or schools. The main NAEP assessments report current achievement levels and trends in student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 for the nation and, for certain assessments (e.g., reading and mathematics), states and select urban districts (i.e., Trial Urban District Assessment, or TUDA). The main NAEP assessments provide results on subject-matter achievement, instructional experiences, and school environment for different student populations (e.g., all fourth-graders) and groups within those populations (e.g., sex [male and female students], race/ethnicity groups). NAEP does not provide scores for individual students or schools. The NAEP assessments contain two different types of items: “cognitive” assessment items, which measure what students know and can do in an academic subject, and “survey” or “non-cognitive” items, which gather information such as demographic variables, as well as construct-related information, such as courses taken. The survey portion includes a collection of data from students, teachers, and school administrators. Since NAEP assessments are administered uniformly using the same sets of test forms across the nation, NAEP results serve as a common metric for all states and select urban districts. The assessment stays essentially the same from year to year, with only carefully documented changes. This permits NAEP to provide a clear picture of student academic progress over time. The possible universe of student respondents for NAEP 2027 is estimated to be 12,000 students at grade 8 attending the approximately 308 public and private schools in a variety of states and the District of Columbia and may include Bureau of Indian Education Schools. This request is to conduct NAEP in 2027, specifically for the Grade 8 Science Pilot. NAEP will administer the assessment using school devices and the internet. For schools that cannot meet the minimum specification for the use of school devices, NAEP will provide an alternate delivery model utilizing NAEP Chromebooks. NAEP has transitioned to primarily administer on school devices with a staged approach so that trends can be measured across time. NAEP conducted a School-based Equipment study in 2024 (OMB #1850-0803 v.347)

Complaints Submission Process under the No Surprises Act (CMS-10779)

Key Information

Abstract

Enacted on December 27, 2020, the No Surprises Act, which was enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code). The No Surprise Act implements provisions that protect individuals from surprise medical bills for emergency services, air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers, and non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at participating facilities in certain circumstances. Additionally, the No Surprises Act sets forth a complaints processes with respect to potential violations of balance billing requirements set forth in the No Surprises Act. The No Surprises Act provides federal protections against surprise billing and limits out-of-network cost sharing under many of the circumstances in which surprise medical bills arise most frequently. The 2021 interim final regulations “Requirements Related to Surprise Billing; Part I” (86 FR 36872, 2021 interim final regulations) issued by the Departments of Health and Humans Services (HHS), Department of Labor (DOL), the Department of Treasury (collectively, the Departments), implement provisions of the No Surprises Act that apply to group health plans, health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage that provide protections against balance billing and out-of-network cost sharing with respect to emergency services, non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at certain participating health care facilities, and air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers of air ambulance services. The No Surprises Act and the 2021 interim final regulations directs the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Department of Treasury (collectively, “the Departments”) to establish a process to receive complaints regarding violations of the application of qualifying payment amount (QPA) requirements by group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group or individual health coverage. The No Surprises Act also directs HHS to establish a process to receive consumer complaints regarding violations by health care providers, facilities, and providers of air ambulance services regarding balance billing requirements and to respond to such complaints within 60 days.

Form N-8B-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 - Registration Statement of Face-Amount Certificate Companies

Key Information

Abstract

Section 8(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) requires every registered investment company to file a registration statement with the Commission that includes certain information about the company and recites the company’s policies on certain significant matters. Form N-8B-4 under the Act (17 CFR 274.14) is the form used by face-amount certificate companies to satisfy these requirements. Among other things, the form requires a face-amount certificate company to disclose information about the date and form of organization of the company, securities issued, its controlling persons, and its current and contemplated business. Additionally, the form requires disclosure about the face-amount certificate company’s fundamental policies, including its investment, borrowing, and lending policies. Further, the form requires a face-amount certificate company to provide financial statements as well as disclosures about the company’s investment adviser, depositaries, management personnel, and the compensation paid to directors, officers, and certain employees. The Commission uses the information provided in the collection of information to determine a face-amount certificate company’s compliance with Section 8(b) of the Act.
