Secrecy and License to Export

Key Information

Abstract

In the interest of national security, patent laws and rules place certain limitations on the disclosure of information contained in patents and patent applications and on the filing of applications in foreign countries. In particular, whenever the publication or disclosure of an invention by the publication of an application or by the granting of a patent is, in the opinion of the head of an interested Government agency, determined to be detrimental to national security, the Commissioner for Patents of the USPTO must issue a secrecy order and withhold the publication of a patent application and the grant of a patent for such period as the national interest requires. The USPTO collects information to determine whether the patent laws and rules have been compiled with and to grant or revoke licenses to file abroad when appropriate. This collection is required by 35 U.S.C. 181-188 and administered through 37 CFR 5.1-5.33. Affected public includes private sector and individuals and households.

Emergency Ambulance Transports and Beneficiary Signature Requirements in 42 CFR 424.36(b) (CMS-10242)

Key Information

Abstract

Because it is very difficult to obtain a beneficiary's signature (or the signature of a person authorized to sign on behalf of the beneficiary) on a claim when the beneficiary is being transported by ambulance in emergency situations, we are proposing that, for emergency ambulance transport services, an ambulance provider or supplier may submit the claim without a beneficiary's signature, as long as certain documentation requirements are met.

Applications and Notices--Manufacturers of Nonbeverage Products (TTB REC 5530/1)

Key Information

Abstract

In general, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5001 imposes Federal excise tax on each proof gallon of distilled spirits produced in or imported into the United States. However, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5111–5114, persons using distilled spirits to produce certain nonbeverage products (medicines, medicinal preparations, food products, flavors, flavoring extracts, or perfume) may claim drawback (refund) of all but $1.00 per proof gallon of the excise tax paid on the distilled spirits used to make such products, subject to regulations issued by the Secretary “to secure the Treasury against frauds.” Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 17 require manufacturers to submit certain applications and notices to TTB regarding their use of distilled spirits in the production of nonbeverage products eligible for drawback. The required applications, which require TTB approval, cover nonbeverage activities that present significant jeopardy to the revenue, while the required notices, which do not require TTB approval, cover activities that present less jeopardy to the revenue. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as allows TTB to verify that nonbeverage product drawback claimants are in fact eligible for such refunds under the IRC, and it ensures that such respondents are in compliance with the IRC statutory and TTB regulatory provisions governing nonbeverage product activities.

Suspensions Pending Appeal and Bonding

Key Information

Abstract

Regulations under 30 CFR part 1243 govern the submission of appropriate surety instruments to suspend compliance with orders or decisions and to stay the accrual of civil penalties (if the Office of Hearings and Appeals grants a lessee’s petition to stay accrual of civil penalties) pending administrative appeal for Federal and Indian leases. For Federal oil and gas leases, under 30 U.S.C. 1724(l) and its implementing regulations under 30 CFR part 1243, an appellant requesting a suspension without providing a surety must submit information to demonstrate financial solvency. This ICR covers the burden hours associated with submitting financial statements and surety instruments required to stay an ONRR order, decision, or accrual of civil penalties.

Accountability Definitions

Key Information

Abstract

Section 84001 of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025, modified the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). Proposed regulations stemming from the OBBBA require updates to several regulatory sections. Burden for these sections can be found spread across many currently approved information collection packages. On January 30, 2026, the Department published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) titled Reimagining and Improving Student Education (RISE) (91 FR 4254) revising 34 CFR Part 685. Specifically, the RISE NPRM proposed to add several new definitions under §685.102: expected time to credential, graduate student, professional student and program length. The OBBBA accountability framework also proposes amending §685.102 by adding new definitions: eligible non-GE program and gainful employment program (GE program). Due to the timing of these regulatory packages, the Department is requesting approval of a new collection to define eligible non-GE program and gainful employment program (GE program). Once regulations are final, the Department will merge 1845-NEW with 1845-0021 William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (DL) Regulations so the burden for §685.102 stays within one information collection without compromising the public’s review of proposed rules and burden of the new accountability framework. This way, all regulations proposed by changes from the OBBBA can be put out for public comment and OMB approval, as we are unable to propose regulatory changes to §685.102 in two separate NPRMs.

SNAP-ED National Program Evaluation and Reporting System (N-PEARS)

Key Information

Abstract

To gain Federally allocated SNAP-Ed grants to conduct SNAP-Ed activities every year, such as nutrition education and obesity prevention services, States must submit a SNAP-Ed State Plan and a SNAP-Ed Annual Report. The SNAP-Ed State Plan must be created based on SNAP-Ed Plan Guidance (https://snaped.fns.usda.gov/program-administration/snap-ed-plan-guidance-and-templates) and then reviewed and approved by FNS Regional Offices before SNAP-Ed funding can be utilized. The information contained in SNAP-Ed State Plans and Annual Reports is used by FNS to determine whether SNAP-Ed Program resources are being maximized, and whether State SNAP agencies have produced a persuasive and data-driven needs evaluation of nutrition, physical activity, and obesity prevention needs of the target population and their barriers to obtaining healthy foods and physical activity in the State SNAP-Ed Plan. Furthermore, the information is necessary to ensure integrity of SNAP-Ed funds, demonstrate program effectiveness, and track SNAP-Ed outcomes and impacts.

Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration

Key Information

Abstract

Sponsors, anyone planning any construction or alteration project described in 14 CFR 77.9, are required to provide adequate notice (as specified in 14 CFR 77.7) to the FAA of that construction or alteration on FAA Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. The reporting of this information is mandatory on occasion of each construction or alteration. The FAA uses the information collected to evaluate the effect of the proposed construction or alteration on safety in air commerce and the efficient use and preservation of the navigable airspace and airport traffic capacity at public use airports; determine whether the effect or proposed construction or alteration is a hazard to air navigation; determine appropriate marking and lighting recommendations, using FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1, Obstruction Marking and Lighting; determine other appropriate measures to be applied for continued safety of air navigation. The FAA will determine when sponsors are required to report construction or alteration project status including construction start and estimated end dates, as well as, reporting the date the structure reaches its greatest height on FAA Form 7460-2. The FAA uses the information collected to notify the aviation community of the construction or alteration of objects that affect the navigable airspace, including the revision of charts when necessary. Any sponsor that abandons a construction or alteration proposal that has been previously reported to the FAA must submit notice to the FAA on Form 7460-2 within 5 days after the project is abandoned. Additionally, any sponsor that dismantles or destroys a constructed structure previously reported to the FAA must submit notice to the FAA on Form 7460-2 within 5 days after the construction or alteration is dismantled or destroyed. Without collection of this information, safety of air navigation and the National Airspace System cannot be ensured.

10 CFR Part 71, Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), in coordination with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), is amending its regulations governing the packaging and transportation of radioactive material. Historically, the NRC has updated its transportation safety regulations to align with the safety standards established by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). These amendments continue to ensure that NRC regulations are consistent with DOT requirements for the domestic packaging and transportation of radioactive material and remain generally harmonized with IAEA safety standards. These revisions have been coordinated with the DOT and its hazardous materials regulations to maintain a consistent framework for the domestic transportation and packaging of radioactive material. In addition, this final rule revises 10 CFR Part 71 to incorporate administrative, editorial, and clarifying changes, including updates to certain Agreement State compatibility category designations.

Earnings Accountability Reporting, Disclosures, and Warnings

Key Information

Abstract

Section 84001 of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025, established an accountability framework for all postsecondary programs of study that participate in the Direct Loan Program, modifying the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The proposed framework would compare the median earnings of graduates to median earnings of a comparison group and would discontinue a program’s Direct Loan eligibility if its graduates earn less than the comparison group. This information collection seeks to update the current accountability regulations with the requirements of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The Department is also requesting that 1845-0173 and 1845-0174 information requirements and burden be merged with this collection (1845-0814) and be renamed 1845-0184 Earnings Accountability Reporting, Disclosures, and Warnings. It no longer makes sense to separate these collections with the proposed harmonization of regulations.

Reduction of Fuel Tank Flammability on Transport Category Airplanes

Key Information

Abstract

The information or data collection is mandatory from the DAHs as required by the FAA regulations as specified in item 1. The main purpose of the data collection is for the review by FAA oversight offices of the transport aircraft fuel tank safety level as required by the FAA regulations. The DAHs are required to provide semi-annual reliability reports. The FAA safety oversight offices have reviewed the collected data in order to assess mandatory action to correct any unsafe conditions resulting from poor reliability of the fuel tank flammability reduction means (FRM) and the resulting increased flammability of the fuel tanks on transport category airplanes. This is because high flammability fuel tanks are susceptible to catastrophic fuel tank explosions. These collected data are the fuel tank FRM component reliability reports as specified in item 1. In summary, the FAA requires the DAHs to collect and provide the fuel tank FRM component reliability results for FAA safety review. This is to ensure the fuel tank safety level meets the regulatory requirements specified in item 1.

FERC-550, Oil Pipeline Rates - Tariff Filings and Depreciation Studies

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission's regulatory jurisdiction over oil pipelines includes: • the regulation of rates and practices of oil pipeline companies engaged in interstate transportation; • the establishment of equal service conditions to provide shippers with equal access to pipeline transportation; and • the establishment of reasonable rates for transporting petroleum and petroleum products by pipeline. The filing requirements for oil pipeline tariffs and rates under the FERC-550 data collection provide the Commission with the information it needs to analyze the rates, practices, and service conditions of oil pipelines. As a result, the Commission can implement statutory directives for the federal regulation of these carriers. Major statutory and rate-making milestones in the Commission’s regulation of oil pipelines rates (“Historical Background of Oil Pipeline Ratemaking”) are included in reginfo.gov and ROCIS under “Supplementary Documents” and posted at https://www.ferc.gov/federal-statutes.

Advancing Interoperability and Improving Prior Authorization Processes (CMS-10843)

Key Information

Abstract

This proposed rule would place new requirements on Medicare Advantage organizations, Medicaid managed care plans, CHIP managed care entities, state Medicaid and CHIP fee-for-service (FFS) programs, and Qualified Health Plan (QHP) issuers on the Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs) to improve the electronic exchange of healthcare data, and streamline processes related to prior authorization, while continuing CMS’ drive toward interoperability, and reducing burden in the health care market. This proposed rule would also add new requirements for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals participating in the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program and for Merit-based Incentive Payment System eligible clinicians participating in the Promoting Interoperability performance category of the Quality Payment Program. These policies taken together play a key role in reducing overall payer and provider burden and improving patient access to health information.

Northwest Region, Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery: Cost Recovery

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a revision and extension of the current information collection pursuant to proposed rule (RIN 0648-BO02). This change will revise the information collected under the Pacific Coast Groundfish Trawl Rationalization Cost Recovery Program to include new information collected under the Primary Sablefish Fishery Cost Recovery Program currently being implemented and by changing the title from "Northwest Region, Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery: Trawl Rationalization Cost Recovery Program" to "West Coast Region, Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery: Cost Recovery" to better align the title with the fisheries subject to the information collection. One additional form will be added to the existing information collection to allow vessels in this sablefish primary fishery to make cost recovery payments. This rule includes management measures that would apply to vessels registered to limited entry fixed gear (LEFG) endorsed permits and LEFG permit owners in the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery. Specifically, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to: 1) add flexibility to the LEFG permits’ gear endorsements; 2) remove the base permit designation of LEFG permits; 3) remove the start and end times (i.e., hours of the day) for the open dates of the primary sablefish season; and 4) develop a cost recovery program for the LEFG primary sablefish fishery. The purpose of this rule is to provide increased flexibility to LEFG participants while reducing administrative burdens, and to develop a cost recovery program to meet the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) . Beginning in January 2011, NMFS implemented a trawl rationalization program, a type of a catch share program or limited access privilege program, for the Pacific coast groundfish fishery’s trawl fleet. The Pacific Coast Groundfish Trawl Rationalization Program (Trawl Program) was adopted through Amendment 20 to the Pacific coast groundfish fishery management plan (FMP). It consists of a Shorebased Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program (including whiting and non-whiting fisheries); and cooperative (Co-op) programs for the at-sea Mothership (MS) Co-op Program and Catcher/Processor (C/P) Co-op Program trawl fleets (whiting only). Beginning in January 2001, the NMFS implemented a sablefish rationalization program, a type of a catch share program or limited access privilege program, for the Pacific coast sablefish fishery fleet. The limited entry sablefish tier stacking program (Tier Program) was adopted through Amendment 14 to the Pacific coast groundfish fishery management plan (FMP). As a type of limited access privilege program (LAPP), the MSA requires the agency to recover part of the costs of management, data collection, and enforcement for the Trawl and Sablefish Programs, up to three percent of the ex-vessel value [16 U.S.C. 1853a MSA §303A and §304(d)(2)]. This is called a cost recovery program. The cost recovery program for the Trawl Program (Cost Recovery Program) covers all three sectors in the Trawl Program: the Shorebased IFQ Program, the MS Co-op Program, and the C/P Co-op Program. Additionally, the non-trawl Sablefish Primary Fishery Cost Recovery Program (Sablefish Cost Recovery Program) covers vessels fishing in the sablefish primary sablefish fishery. In the Pacific coast groundfish fishery regulations, the Trawl Cost Recovery Program is codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 660.115 . NMFS is developing a Sablefish Cost Recovery Program which will be codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 660.231.
