Part 52, Numbering Policies for Modern Communications, et al., WC Docket Nos. 13-97, et al.

Key Information

Abstract

In the December 2025 Third Report and Order (FCC 25-86), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revised the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Numbering Authorization application process, by requiring existing authorization holders--those interconected VoIP providers that obtained direct access numbering authorizations prior to August 8, 2024, that is, prior to when the updated FCC rules adopted in the 2023 Second Report and Order became effective--to file within 30 days of the effective date of the rules adopted in the Third Order the same robocall-related, public safety, and national secirity certifciations and information disclosures as applicants in order to maintain their authorizations. The VoIP Numbering Authorization allows interconnected VoIP providers to apply for a blanket authorization from the FCC that, once granted, will allow them to demonstrate that they have the authority to provide service in specific areas, thus enabling them to request numbers directly from the Numbering Administrators. This collection covers the information and certifications that applicants and authorization holders must submit in order to comply with the Numbering Authorization Application process. The data, information, and documents acquired through this collection will allow interconnected VoIP providers to obtain numbers with minimal burden or delay while also preventing providers from obtaining numbers without first demonstrating that they can deploy and properly utilize such resources. The revisions to this information collection are necessary to create a uniform framework for all authorization holders in order to more effectively fight illegal robocalls, to protect the nation’s numbering resources from abuse by foreign bad actors, to protect public safety and national security, and to ensure compliance with other important FCC rules.

Beneficiary and Family Centered Data Collection (CMS-10393)

Key Information

Abstract

Information collection activities for the Beneficiary and Family Centered Information Collection include the following: Experience Survey: The population is comprised of Medicare beneficiaries who received support from a QIO with an appeal or complaint case. The sample will be stratified, analyzed, and reported by case type: • Appeal stratum – A simple random sample will be drawn of approximately 3 percent (9,000) of the annual universe (n=350,000). No sub-stratum oversampling will be used. This is expected to yield sufficient data to support quarterly analytic and evaluation reporting. • Complaint medical record review stratum - Given the relatively small annual volume (n=1,500), a census will be drawn in order to yield sufficient data for quarterly analytic and evaluation reporting. • Immediate advocacy stratum - A simple random sample will be drawn of approximately 30 percent (4,500) of the annual universe (n=15,000). No sub-stratum oversampling will be used. This is expected to yield sufficient data for quarterly analytic and evaluation reporting. Information collection will be conducted via telephone with paper surveys sent by mail upon request, and for those who do not respond by telephone. Data will be collected monthly with the annualized sample and burden hours allocated evenly across 12 months.

Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) (CMS-P-0015A)

Key Information

Abstract

The Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) is a continuous, multipurpose survey of a nationally representative sample of aged, disabled, and institutionalized Medicare beneficiaries. MCBS, which is sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), is the only comprehensive source of information on the health status, health care use and expenditures, health insurance coverage, and socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the entire spectrum of Medicare beneficiaries. The MCBS has been at the forefront of survey collection and data processing, most notably as one of the first surveys to successfully 1) implement a computer assisted personal interview (CAPI) and 2) match survey and claims data to adjust and correct for underreporting in survey reported health care utilization. The CMS vision for the MCBS is to continue to provide timely, policy-relevant, unique, high-quality, and high-value data; increase the survey’s ability to develop, monitor, assess, and evaluate the impact of CMS care delivery and payment models; and to continue to break ground in innovative, efficient, and analytically powerful new areas of survey data administration, design, and development. CMS routinely reviews MCBS content to: 1) promote efficiency by streamlining the questionnaire and reducing respondent burden; 2) assess utility of information collected by the MCBS and remove questions that are no longer relevant, and 3) maintain the production of high-quality data by removing content that is no longer performing well. Starting with the 2026 full clearance revisions (approved by OMB on 1/6/2026), CMS reduced MCBS respondent burden by 8%. In accordance with OMB’s terms of clearance specified in the approval of the 2026 MCBS, CMS identified additional deletions in the Community and Facility instruments to reduce the respondent burden associated with the MCBS. When implemented, the revision to this OMB package will continue the downward trend in respondent burden with a net decrease of an additional one percent.

[NCHS] National Survey of Family Growth

Key Information

Abstract

National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) collects and disseminate “statistics on family formation, growth, and dissolution.” The NSFG supplements and complements the data from birth and fetal death certificates by monitoring factors (such as sexual activity, contraception, marriage and cohabitation, and infertility) that affect birth and pregnancy rates. The NSFG provides nationally representative data on factors related to fertility, family formation, and reproductive health for NCHS and its cosponsors within DHHS. Throughout its history, NSFG has been administered in person, in English and Spanish, with a self-administered portion added in more recent survey periods. Under the plan laid out in this clearance request, NSFG builds on its past survey design and procedures and incorporates online administration into a multi-phase, multi-mode design. This design calls for about 5,000 people aged 15-49 to be interviewed each year, however higher yields are sought in Year 3 and beyond to compensate for the underproduction seen in the first 2 years of data collection due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated labor market challenges. For this Revision, no survey content changes are proposed since the most recent nonsubstantive change request approved on 9/15/2025, however a few revisions to survey invitation materials are proposed for implementation in Year 6 data collection scheduled to begin in January 2027. There is a minor reduction to the burden.

Loan Rehabilitation: Reasonable and Affordable Payments

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for an extension with change of the information collection for the form used to obtain standardized financial information from borrowers with defaulted Direct Loan (DL) or Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program loans. This information is used by either the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) or a guaranty agency to make a determination of a reasonable and affordable monthly loan payment which if made according to the agreed schedule would afford defaulted borrowers an opportunity for loan rehabilitation. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) signed into law on July 4, 2025, made statutory changes that require updates to the 1845-0120 Loan Rehabilitation: Reasonable and Affordable Payments collection. This revision to this information collection package reflect the statutory changes made by the OBBBA for the 2026-27 award year. The Department plans to submit another revision to this form for public comment next year to amend the form for changes that begin in the 2027-28 award year.

ED-524 Budget Information Non-Construction Programs Form and Instructions

Key Information

Abstract

The ED 524 form and instructions are included in U.S. Department of Education (ED) discretionary grant application packages and are needed in order for applicants to submit summary-level budget data by budget category, as well as a detailed budget narrative, to request and justify their proposed grant budgets as part of their grant applications. At the time of application, ED applicants submit budget information on the ED 524 for both Federal funds requested and for the non-Federal match or cost-sharing funds they are committing to the proposed project (either statutorily required or provided as a voluntary commitment) for each budget period of a multi-year project. Please note that Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR),(34 CFR 75.117) requires that an applicant that proposes a multi-year project must include in its application a budget narrative accompanied by a budget form prescribed by the Secretary, that provides budget information for each budget period of the proposed project period. In order to prepare the non-Federal portion of the budget for the ED 524, the applicant must already have had this information on hand in their internal grant accounting records. Under Uniform Administrative Requirements, 2 CFR 200.306, as applicable, a grantee is required to maintain this information regarding cost-sharing and matching resources.

Application for Prevailing Wage Determination

Key Information

Abstract

The information contained in the Form ETA-9141 is the basis for the Secretary’s determination of the wage employers must pay in order protect against adverse effect on U.S. workers’ wages by the employment of a foreign worker. Prior to submitting requests for most labor certifications or a labor condition applications to the Secretary of Labor, employers must obtain a prevailing wage for the job opportunity based on the place of employment in order to ensure that wages are not being adversely affected by paying foreign workers less than a prevailing wage. Form ETA-9141, Application for Prevailing Wage Determination, is used to collect the necessary information from employers to enable the Department of Labor (Department) to issue a prevailing wage for the occupation and location of the job offer. The Form ETA-9141 is used in the H-2B, H-1B, H-1B1, E-3, and PERM programs administered by the Department. In order to meet its statutory responsibilities under the INA, the Department must request information from employers seeking to hire and import foreign labor. The Department uses the information collected to determine the appropriate wages that must be paid by an employer to foreign workers in most programs.
