The USMCA Automotive Rules of Origin Motor Vehicle Producer Questionnaire

Key Information

Abstract

The United States International Trade Commission (Commission) is conducting a factfinding investigation (Inv. No. 332-608) to analyze the impacts of the automotive rules of origin (ROOs) in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), including their impact on the U.S. economy, effects on the competitiveness of the U.S. automotive industry, and the relevancy of the ROOs in light of technological changes. This investigation is in connection with United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 4532(g)(2)) (“the Act”). The Act requires the Commission to prepare a series of five biennial reports on the USMCA automotive ROOs, and to provide those reports to the President, the House Committee on Ways and Means, and the Senate Committee on Finance. The first of the reports was delivered on June 30, 2023, and the second was delivered on July 1, 2025. There are three additional reports due in 2027, 2029, and 2031. Similar to the second report, the Commission is conducting a survey of motor vehicle producers with U.S. production operations for the 2027 report and will deliver the results of its investigation by July 1, 2027.

FERC Form No. 6-Q, Quarterly Report of Oil Pipeline Companies

Key Information

Abstract

The Interstate Commerce Act (ICA) authorizes the Commission to make investigations, collect, and record data in order to carry out certain necessary and useful provisions. The information collected from oil pipeline companies under the requirements of the FERC Form No. 6-Q provide the Commission the ability to implement the statutory provisions of the ICA including the authority to prescribe rules, regulations concerning accounts, records, memoranda as necessary. The ICA also allows the Commission to prescribe a system of accounts for jurisdictional companies and (after notice) and opportunity for hearing to determine the accounts in which particular outlays and receipts can be entered, charged, or credited. The financial accounting and reporting provides needed information concerning a FERC Form No. 6-Q company’s past performance and its future prospects. Without reliable financial statements (prepared in accordance with the Commission’s Uniform Systems of Accounts), the Commission would be unable to accurately determine the costs that related to a particular time period, service, or line of business. Additionally, it would be more difficult for the Commission to determine if a certain entity was previously provided the opportunity to recover its costs via rates or to compare how the financial performance of one regulated entity relates to another. The FERC Form No. 6-Q assists the Commission in overseeing and policing the regulated oil pipeline markets to assist in enforcing the ICA. The Commission proposes to clarify that small oil pipeline companies with annual jurisdictional operating revenues of less than $500,000 and that do not file an annual FERC Form No. 6 are exempt from reporting FERC Form No. 6-Q. This proposed clarification would confirm that the second and third reporting tiers do not file FERC Form No. 6-Q. In addition, the Commission conducted a comprehensive review of the information collected in FERC Form No. 6-Q and proposes to delete three schedules from that form. In this NOPR, the Commission seeks comment on whether the data reported on the indicated schedules is helpful to the public and, if so, how this data is used. The Commission also seeks comment on whether there may be a better way for the public to access the data rather than through the quarterly financial forms. The Commission also proposes to update the general filing instructions and certain schedule instructions to reflect current reporting requirements and correct discrepancies.

FERC-3-Q, Quarterly Financial Report of Electric Utilities, Licensees, and Natural Gas Companies

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) requests the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review the proposed changes to 3-Q (electric and gas) as part of the NOPR RM26-12-000. The Commission conducted a comprehensive review of the information collected in the quarterly financial forms and proposes to delete a total of 20 schedules from FERC Form No. 3-Q across both Electric (17 schedules) and Gas (3 schedules). In this NOPR, the Commission seeks comment on whether the data reported on the indicated schedules is helpful to the public and, if so, how this data is used. The Commission also seeks comment on whether there may be a better way for the public to access the data in these 20 schedules, rather than through the quarterly financial forms. In accordance with sections 304(a) and 309 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) and sections 10(a) and 16 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), FERC is authorized to collect and record data to the extent it considers necessary, and to prescribe rules and regulations concerning accounts, records, and memoranda. Under the existing regulations, FERC jurisdictional entities subject to its Uniform System of Accounts (USofA) must annually file a complete set of financial statements with the Commission, along with other selected financial and non-financial data through the submission of FERC Form Nos. 1 and 1-F and must file this information quarterly through the submission of FERC Form No. 3-Q.

Pribilof Islands: Administration and Taking for Subsistence Purposes

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for revision and extension of collection of information control number 0648-0699. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) proposes to revise this information collection pursuant to interim final rule 0648-BN39 which would allow landowners to apply for an exception under 50 CFR 216.82 to bring an independently certified rodent detection dog to the Pribilof Islands to detect and prevent the establishment of invasive rodents. A proposed rulemaking requesting public comments was published on December 11, 2025 (90 FR 57442). Due to an administrative error, NOAA did not submit a revision package at that time. NMFS regulations for the subsistence use of northern fur seals under the Fur Seal Act (FSA) requires Alaska Native residents of the Pribilof Islands to report their subsistence need and their actual subsistence take of northern fur seals. The current collection of information allows the NMFS to confirm the annual subsistence use of northern fur seals is consistent with subsistence use quotas established in 2014 and 2019.

West Coast Region Pacific Tuna Fisheries Logbook, Fish Aggregating Device Form, and Observer Safety Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a revision and extension of a currently approved collection of information. The revisions are a result of a final rule (RIN: 0648-B029) under the Tuna Conventions Act of 1950, as amended, to implement resolutions adopted at the 103rd Meeting of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) in September 2025. These Resolutions include C-25-01 (Conservation Measures for Tropical Tunas in the Eastern Pacific Ocean During 2026 and 2027-2028) and C-25-07 (Amends and Replaces Resolution C-24-06 on Fish-Aggregating Devices). The final rule also implements several provisions of Resolution C-19-04 (Resolution to Mitigate Impacts on Sea Turtles) that were not previously implemented. The final rule modifies recordkeeping and reporting requirements for fish aggregating devices (FADs) in the eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) to provide an alternative to current paper FAD recovery reporting forms and allow vessel owners and operators to directly enter FAD recovery data into the IATTC’s online FAD Recovery database to fulfill reporting requirements. Furthermore, for reporting on Active FADs, it adds a data field to report whether the echosounder is on or off. Additionally, the final rule includes data collection requirements for U.S. purse seine vessel owners and operators to report information on minimum data fields (e.g., species ID, size, release condition) for reporting sea turtle interactions that are not already collected and submitted to the IATTC by an observer onboard the vessel.

Request for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments or Apparatus

Key Information

Abstract

The Departments of Commerce and Homeland Security (``DHS'') are required to determine whether nonprofit institutions established for scientific or educational purposes are entitled to duty-free entry for scientific instruments the institutions import under the Florence Agreement. Form ITA-338P enables: (1) DHS to determine whether the statutory eligibility requirements for the institution and the instrument are fulfilled, and (2) Commerce to make a comparison and finding as to the scientific equivalency of comparable instruments being manufactured in the United States. Without the collection of the information, DHS and Commerce would not have the necessary information to carry out the responsibilities of determining eligibility for duty-free entry assigned by law.

The Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (EARTH MRI) Mine Waste Cooperative Agreements

Key Information

Abstract

The Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI; https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/earth-mri) is a component of MRP and is a national effort to carry out the fundamental resources and mapping mission of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The goal of Earth MRI is to improve our knowledge of the geologic framework in the United States and to identify areas that may have the potential to contain critical mineral resources. Enhancement of our domestic mineral supply will decrease the Nation’s reliance on foreign sources of minerals fundamental to national security and the economy. USGS developed a new competitive cooperative agreement program with the State geological surveys to support mine waste activities authorized and funded by the BIL. State geological surveys apply for funds through an annual competitive agreement process. The Earth MRI Mine Waste Cooperative Agreements support three goals of the USGS-Earth MRI effort: 1) building a national mine waste inventory, 2) characterizing mine waste at sites across the nation, and 3) partnering with State geological surveys to plan Earth MRI data acquisition. Individual State projects last for up to two years.

Medicare Part C and Part D Program Audit Protocols (CMS-10717)

Key Information

Abstract

42 CFR 422.502 describes CMS' regulatory authority to evaluate, through inspection or other means, Medicare Advantage Part C organizations. These records include books, contracts, medical records, patient care documentation and other records that pertain to any aspect of services performed, reconciliation of benefit liabilities, and determination of amounts payable. 42 CFR 423.503 states that CMS must oversee a Part D plan sponsor's continued compliance with the requirements for a Part D plan sponsor. 423.514 states that the Part D plan sponsor must have an effective procedure to develop, compile, evaluate, and report to CMS, to its enrollees, and to the general public, at the times and in the manner that CMS requires, statistics regarding areas such as cost of operations, patterns of utilization availability, accessibility, and acceptability of services. CMS developed a strategy to address our oversight and audit responsibilities within the context of limited audit/oversight resources. We have combined all Part C and Part D guides into one universal guide promoting efficiency and effectiveness and reducing financial and time burdens for both CMS and Medicare-contracting entities.

FERC-549C, Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines (Final Rule in Docket No. RM96-1-044)

Key Information

Abstract

The Final Rule, revises the information collection activities in FERC-549C. This NOPR seeks to incorporate by reference a modified WGQ Version 4.0. This modification added a new standard, WGQ Standard No. 0.3.30, to the Additional Standards manual, which supports a natural gas transportation service provider in posting scheduled quantity information for power plants directly connected to the pipeline, as part of the newly established Gas Electric Coordination category. This modification establishes a new information posting category, Gas Electric Coordination, for use by a transportation service provider as part of its Informational Postings Web site. The revised WGQ Standard No. 4.3.23 creates a central location on an Informational Postings Web site where a transportation service provider can post publicly available data, including scheduled quantity information, to help RTOs/ISOs and other parties access these data. Further, a new standard was added WGQ Standard No. 5.3.74 under the Capacity Release Related Standards manual, to support the inclusion of geographic information when a natural gas transportation service provider issues a critical notice, such as geographic information of impacted areas, locations, and pipeline facilities.

FERC-545, Gas Pipeline Rates: Rate Change (Non-formal) (Final Rule in Docket RM96-1-044)

Key Information

Abstract

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 Final Rule, 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).

Chafee Strengthening Outcomes for Transition to Adulthood (Chafee SOTA) Project Overarching Generic

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a 3-year extension of an overarching generic clearance to submit individual information collection (GenIC) requests for evaluations of programs serving youth transitioning out of foster care as part of the Chafee SOTA Project. Potential data collection efforts will request similar information using similar methods, which could include conducting interviews/focus groups, and surveys with current, past, or potential participants in programs serving youth with foster care experience (e.g., including potential participants who are included in comparison groups). The purpose of these efforts is to inform ACF programming by building evidence about what works to improve outcomes for the target population, and to identify innovative learning methods that address common evaluation challenges. The iterative and rapid nature of the methods to be utilized, as well as the necessity of ongoing, authentic engagement of experts with lived experience, poses a challenge to complying with the timeline for seeking full approval of each individual information collection activity subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Since ACF knows the types of methods that will be used and types of information that will be requested but does not have information needed to tailor the information to each site. This information will not be available until a date closer to when studies will begin, ACF sought approval for an overarching generic clearance to conduct this work. This work is ongoing and an extension is being requested. In this request ACF has reduced the number and type of potential respondents and the number of responses per respondent to reduce the overall expected burden for the project. For each GenIC, instruments will be tailored to the specific intervention and the specific site; once a set of instruments for a particular site is developed, and prior to use in the field, ACF will submit a supporting statement Part A and B and the specific instruments to be used to OMB for approval.
