Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program

Key Information

Abstract

The Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program (CCP) consists of two grant programs, the Immediate Services Program (ISP) and the Regular Services Program (RSP). The ISP and RSP provide supplemental funding to states and Federally recognized Tribes following a Presidentially declared major disaster under the Stafford Act. These grant programs provide funding for training and services, including community outreach, public education, and counseling techniques. States and Federally recognized Tribes are required to submit an application that provides information on Needs Assessment, Plan of Service, Program Management, and an accompanying Budget. The information being collected from both forms will be used to determine if existing resources are adequate to meet the behavioral health needs of disaster survivors and to determine if supplemental funds for crisis counseling services are necessary. Additionally, the information gathered from these forms will help to ensure the program’s objectives are met and grants are properly administered in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Strengthening the Standards for Initial Listing on the Training Provider Registry (TPR)

Key Information

Abstract

FMCSA requests an emergency ICR in order to require the below documentation as part of the initial vetting of new providers and every time a provider adds a new location in accordance with 49 CFR 380.703(a)(7). Documentation and information collected would include: 1. The lesson plans for theory and BTW (range and public road) training curricula, as applicable; 2. Proof of compliant training vehicles (such as meeting the requirement that they be in the same group and type that driver-trainees intend to operate for their CDL skills test), as applicable; 3. Instructor qualification documentation indicating driving and/or training experience, as applicable, for each instructor and copies of commercial driver's licenses and endorsements held by BTW instructors or theory instructors, as applicable; 4. Proof that the provider is licensed, certified, registered, or otherwise authorized to provide training in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of any State where in-person training is conducted; and 5. Documentation detailing what facilities are being utilized for applicable in-person training to comply with 49 CFR 380.709. The documents collected will be reviewed for compliance prior to training providers being listed in the TPR.Emergency Justfication:The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is requesting emergency clearance for the new collection “Strengthening the Standards for Initial Listing on the Training Provider Registry (TPR)” to allow for additional information collection that will strengthen the standards for a training provider’s initial listing on the TPR. FMCSA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because public harm is reasonably likely to result. In this case, the public harm is having noncompliant training providers certifying drivers as meeting the training standards for operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) when those drivers have not done so. Allowing these drivers to operate a CMV presents a safety risk to the public. As part of the Agency’s enforcement processes, training providers who are listed on the TPR may be issued a Notice of Emergency Removal due to fraud, criminal behavior, or willful disregard of the regulations. Many of these bad actors will report hundreds of “completed” theory and behind the wheel training that led to commercial vehicle licenses across the country, despite never conducting the training. Under the current rules covering the TPR, when a provider is issued a Notice of Emergency Removal, they are able to log on to the TPR, self-certify with new training provider information, and thus be listed again on the TPR and continue to perpetuate fraud. If none of the basic information (i.e. email, address) matches the removed provider, these bad actors return under a new name and begin reporting under the same fraudulent, criminal, or willful disregard as was discovered in their original business model until discovered through state non-compliance, operations, or complaints. The only effective way to combat fraudulent behavior and rebuild trust in the TPR is to initiate a proactive approach, rather than a reactive one. As a result, FMCSA initiated a rulemaking project to revise the regulations covering the TPR (RIN 2126-AD00, “Minimum Training Requirements for Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) for Commercial Motor Vehicle Operators: Strengthening the Standards for Initial and Continued Listing on the Training Provider Registry (TPR or Registry) and Behind the Wheel Training”). This NPRM, when issued, will include a number of additional collections of information. However, FMCSA cannot wait for the rulemaking process to begin vetting new applicants to the TPR. Allowing for the regulatory process to conclude would open the door not only for new, non-compliant training programs, but also for previously removed training providers who are able to reincarnate and reapply to the TPR. Thus, FMCSA requests an emergency ICR in order to require the below documentation as part of the initial vetting of new providers and every time a provider adds a new location in accordance with 49 CFR 380.703(a)(7). Documentation and information collected would include: 1. The lesson plans for theory and BTW (range and public road) training curricula, as applicable; 2. Proof of compliant training vehicles (such as meeting the requirement that they be in the same group and type that driver-trainees intend to operate for their CDL skills test), as applicable; 3. Instructor qualification documentation indicating driving and/or training experience, as applicable, for each instructor and copies of commercial driver's licenses and endorsements held by BTW instructors or theory instructors, as applicable; 4. Proof that the provider is licensed, certified, registered, or otherwise authorized to provide training in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of any State where in-person training is conducted; and 5. Documentation detailing what facilities are being utilized for applicable in-person training to comply with 49 CFR 380.709. The documents collected will be reviewed for compliance prior to training providers being listed in the TPR.

Implementation of Medicare Programs; - Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program (CMS-10552)

Key Information

Abstract

Abstract (2000 characters maximum) The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5) was enacted on February 17, 2009, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure and improve affordable health care. Expanded use of health information technology (HIT) and certified electronic health record (EHR) technology will improve the quality and value of America's health care. Title IV of Division B of the Recovery Act amends Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act (the Act) by establishing incentive payments to eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs), and Medicare Advantage organizations participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs that adopt and successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology (CEHRT). These Recovery Act provisions, together with Title XIII of Division A of the Recovery Act, may be cited as the “Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act” or the “HITECH Act”. In 2019, the EHR Incentives Program for eligible hospitals and CAHs was subsequently renamed the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program. We are collecting information from participants in this program on objectives and measures focused on the meaningful use of CEHRT in order to incentivize the advanced use of CEHRT to support health information exchange, interoperability, advanced quality measurement, and maximizing clinical effectiveness and efficiency. In the FY 2027 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we proposed to remove two attestations which would impact information collection burden: (1) the ONC Direct Review Attestation beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026, and (2) the optional ONC-ACB Surveillance Attestation beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026. We also proposed to adopt the Unique Device Identifiers for Implantable Medical Devices measure beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2027. Lastly, we proposed to update the Electronic Prior Authorization measure to make the measure optional for the EHR reporting period in CY 2027 and required beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2028.

FERC-912: PURPA Section 210(m) Notification Requirements Applicable to Cogeneration and Small Power Production Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

The use of FERC-912 is necessary to provide the Commission with the information needed to determine whether an order is appropriate to either terminate or reinstate the purchasing or selling of energy under PURPA section 210(m). The Commission's implementing regulations, found in 18 CFR Part 292, provide the following procedures: • §292.310 an electric utility's application for the termination of its obligation to purchase energy from a QF, • §292.311 an affected entity or person's application to the Commission for an order reinstating the electric utility's obligation to purchase energy from a QF, • §292.312 an electric utility's application for the termination of its obligation to sell energy and capacity to QFs, and • §292.313 an affected entity or person's application to the Commission for an order reinstating the electric utility's obligation to sell energy and capacity to QFs. Note that the reinstatement of an electric utility's obligation to sell or purchase electric power to/from a QF depends on a Commission determination that the qualifications that relieved the utility from the obligation of purchase or sale are no longer met. The Commission uses the information collected by FERC-912 to determine if an order is appropriate and required under PURPA section 210(m). Without this collection of information, the Commission would not be able to carry out its obligations under PURPA section 210(m).

FERC-521, Payments for Benefits from Headwater Improvements

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of FERC-521 is to implement information collections pursuant to Section 10(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA). Under Section 10(f) licensees of unlicensed non-Federal hydroelectric power projects that are directly benefited by a headwater project must pay an equitable portion of the annual costs of interest, maintenance, and depreciation of the headwater project. This payment is called the headwater benefit payment. The Commission requires basic project information including location and storage capacity to be filed by the owner of any headwater project constructed by the United States, a licensee, or a pre-1920 permittee that is upstream from a non-Federal hydroelectric project.
