Abstract

Respondents participating in the Medicare program use Supplemental to Form CMS-2552-10: Median Payer-Specific Negotiated Charge Data Worksheet to report payer-specific negotiated charge data pursuant to the CY 2026 OPPS Final Rule (CMS-1834-FC) published November 25, 2025. This supplemental form advances the policy goal of increasing healthcare price transparency and promoting market-based approaches in Medicare FFS payments. The form requires hospitals to report, by MS-DRG, the weighted median of the payer-specific charges negotiated with Medicare Advantage organizations. The information reported on the worksheet enables CMS to calculate new IPPS MS-DRG relative weights beginning in FY 2029 and reinforces the administration's commitment to clear, accurate, and actionable healthcare pricing information.

Abstract

Title 14 CFR Part 157 mandates that all “persons proposing to construct, alter, activate, or deactivate a civil or joint-use (civil/military) airport or to alter the status or use of such an airport” must notify the FAA before any construction, alteration, or change to the status or use of an airport. Airports submit this information using FAA Form 7480-1, Notice for Construction, Alteration and Deactivation of Airports, or its online equivalent. The collection is reporting and occurs on occasion as needed. The collection requires proponents to report and certify the purpose of the notification; the name, location, use, and type of landing area affected; landing area data; and operation data, including number of based aircraft and average number of landings. The FAA uses the information collected when: • Determining the effect the proposed action will have on existing airports and on the safe and efficient use of airspace by aircraft. • Determining the effects the proposed action will have on existing or contemplated traffic patterns of neighboring airports. • Determining the effects the proposed action will have on the existing airspace structure and projected programs of the FAA. • Determining the effects that existing or proposed manmade objects (on file with the FAA) and natural objects within the affected area will have on the airport proposal. Proponents are also required to notify the FAA by letter or by FAA Form 5010-5 within 15 days after completion of the project. The FAA requires this notification because many proposals are never completed for reasons pertinent only to the sponsor. The confirmation of the completion of the project is needed in order to identify the cancelled proposals, so as to release any airspace that may have been reserved and to update aeronautical charts and flight information publications. The collection/burden for Form 5010-5 falls under a different collection (OMB Control Number 2120-0015). It is anticipated that the information collected will be disseminated to the public or used to support publicly disseminated information in aeronautical charts and flight information publications. FAA Office of Airports will retain control over the information and safeguard it from improper access, modification, and destruction, consistent with FAA standards for privacy and electronic information. See response to Question 10 of this Supporting Statement for more information on confidentiality and privacy. The information collection is designed to yield data that meet all applicable information quality guidelines.

FERC-545 is required to implement sections 4, 5, and 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), (15 USC 717c, 717d, and 717o). NGA Sections 4, 5, and 16 authorize the Commission to inquire into rate structures and methodologies and to set rates at a just and reasonable level. Specifically, a natural gas company must obtain Commission authorization for all rates and charges made, demanded, or received in connection with the transportation or sale of natural gas in interstate commerce. In the NOPR, the Commission proposes to amend its regulations at 18 CFR 284.12 to incorporate by reference, with certain enumerated exceptions, Version 4.0 of Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines adopted by the Wholesale Gas Quadrant of the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB). These amendments, if implemented, would affect FERC-545 by requiring filers to establish compliant mechanisms to share and post information which would be included in their rates on file with the Commission.

Abstract

Advisory Circular (AC) 120-119, Voluntary Safety Management System for Other Regulated Entities Transporting Dangerous Goods by Air, provides information on how entities subject to Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 171-180 may voluntarily implement a Safety Management System (SMS) as described in 14 CFR Part 5, Safety Management Systems. These entities perform functions such as handling or shipping dangerous goods by air and are referred to as Other Regulated Entities (ORE). As outlined in AC 120-119, large OREs can use the SMS principles in 14 CFR Part 5 as a basis to develop a voluntary SMS program, including an SMS Implementation Plan, which is submitted to the FAA’s Office of Hazardous Materials Safety (AXH) for review and acceptance. Then, the ORE implements its SMS program and maintains records to document processes, identify hazards, and document non-compliance. This collection covers the burden of developing the implementation plan and continued monitoring of the voluntary SMS program. Changes in this renewal include: • Adjustment (added an IC) to better distinguish between initial submission and continuing recordkeeping burden; • Adjustment in respondent estimates (decrease) based on current data; and • Adjustment in annual burden estimates for initial submission (decrease) based on subject matter expertise.

Reliability Standards CIP 003 10, CIP-004-8, CIP-005-8, CIP-006-7.1, CIP-007-7.1, CIP-008-7.1, CIP 009 7.1, CIP-010-5, CIP-011-4.1, and CIP-013-3. According to NERC, the proposed Reliability Standards would allow responsible entities to fully implement virtualization and address risks associated with virtualized environments, such as “side channel” attacks where virtual systems executing on the same hardware could affect one another. NERC also states that the use of security objectives within the CIP Reliability Standards establishes a framework adaptable to newer technologies. NERC explains that its revisions would: (1) support different security models by adjusting language around perimeter-based models to accommodate other security models; (2) recognize “virtualization infrastructure and virtual machines through new and revised terms in the NERC Glossary;” (3) broaden “change management approaches beyond a baseline-only configuration to recognize the dynamic nature of virtualized technologies,” e.g., where such virtualized systems are no longer installed on specific servers; and (4) manage “accessibility and attack surfaces of a virtualized configuration.” In addition to the changes to facilitate virtualization, the proposed Reliability Standards incorporate clarifications found during the implementation of prior versions of the CIP Standards.

Abstract

The Federal Communications Commission seeks to establish a new information collection associated with the Advanced Methods to Target and Eliminate Unlawful Robocalls Sixth Report and Order and Call Authentication Trust Anchor Fifth Report and Order (“Gateway Provider Report and Order”). Unwanted and illegal robocalls have long been the Federal Communication Commission’s (“Commission”) top source of consumer complaints and one of the Commission’s top consumer protection priorities. Foreign-originated robocalls represent a significant portion of illegal robocalls, and gateway providers serve as a critical choke-point for reducing the number of illegal robocalls received by American consumers. In the Gateway Provider Report and Order, the Commission took steps to prevent these foreign-originated illegal robocalls from reaching consumers and to help track these calls back to the source. Along with further extension of the Commission’s caller ID authentication requirements and Robocall Mitigation Database filing requirements, the Commission adopted several robocall mitigation requirements, including a requirement for gateway providers to respond to traceback within 24 hours, mandatory blocking requirements, a “know your upstream provider” requirement, and a general mitigation requirement.
