Rule 6a-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Form 1-N under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 6a-4 directs certain futures markets that wish to trade security futures products to register with the Commission on Form 1-N. The rule is designed to provide the Commission with information that would help enable it to ensure that the activities of these Security Futures Product Exchanges were consistent with the Exchange Act. Rule 6a-4 permits respondents to make certain information available on the Internet and to notify the Commission of its web location. The Internet has developed the potential to ease compliance burdens for respondents and increase the speed, accuracy, and availability of information, generating benefits to investors and financial markets. SEC staff is considering ways to reduce respondents’ paperwork burden, including using electronic means to submit Form 1-N.

Administration for Children and Families Uniform Project Description (UPD)

Key Information

Abstract

The Uniform Project Description (UPD) includes standard language and sections available for use by Administration for Children and Families (ACF) program offices to solicit the required project description and project budget information from applicants for specific funding opportunities. Applications are required for project grants and cooperative agreements as prescribed by HHS regulations 2 CFR 200.204. The UPD provides a selection of text options for the program offices to choose from, which are used to communicate the application requirements for a specific grant or cooperative agreement notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), as required by 2 CFR 200.204, and Appendix I to 2 CFR 200 – Full Text of Notice of Funding Opportunity. The UPD is fundamental to ACF’s competitive award process. It ensures the provision of adequate information to support award decisions. The ability to select the appropriate standard language for a given NOFO reduces the burden of application preparation, by eliminating unnecessary portions of the application for a given announcement. In addition, it provides for consistency and objectivity in the application and review processes required by 2 CFR 200.205. Attachment A includes relevant excerpts from 2 CFR 200. Since 2023, there have been two versions of the UPD: the traditional version and the streamlined version (SimplerNOFOs). ACF began piloting the SimplerNOFOs version of the UPD, as approved under this OMB number. SimplerNOFOs streamline the process for applicants and has been well received by programs and applicants. ACF has expanded use of the simplified version as a result. At this time ACF is requesting to transition completely to the SimplerNOFOs UPD but will retain two sets of instructions for now due to the way NOFOs are currently developed. The distinction is made in the instructions with the labels “SimplerNOFO” v. “Traditional NOFO”. Additionally, the following changes have been made: - Minor revisions for clarification and plain language purposes - Updated burden estimates to only include the SimplerNOFOs UPD. This current request is to extend OMB approval for one year while a larger revision effort is in process. A full revision request and a request for three years of approval will be submitted within the next year, which will be accompanied by two public comment periods.

Complaints Submission Process under the No Surprises Act (CMS-10779)

Key Information

Abstract

Enacted on December 27, 2020, the No Surprises Act, which was enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code). The No Surprise Act implements provisions that protect individuals from surprise medical bills for emergency services, air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers, and non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at participating facilities in certain circumstances. Additionally, the No Surprises Act sets forth a complaints processes with respect to potential violations of balance billing requirements set forth in the No Surprises Act. The No Surprises Act provides federal protections against surprise billing and limits out-of-network cost sharing under many of the circumstances in which surprise medical bills arise most frequently. The 2021 interim final regulations “Requirements Related to Surprise Billing; Part I” (86 FR 36872, 2021 interim final regulations) issued by the Departments of Health and Humans Services (HHS), Department of Labor (DOL), the Department of Treasury (collectively, the Departments), implement provisions of the No Surprises Act that apply to group health plans, health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage that provide protections against balance billing and out-of-network cost sharing with respect to emergency services, non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at certain participating health care facilities, and air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers of air ambulance services. The No Surprises Act and the 2021 interim final regulations directs the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Department of Treasury (collectively, “the Departments”) to establish a process to receive complaints regarding violations of the application of qualifying payment amount (QPA) requirements by group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group or individual health coverage. The No Surprises Act also directs HHS to establish a process to receive consumer complaints regarding violations by health care providers, facilities, and providers of air ambulance services regarding balance billing requirements and to respond to such complaints within 60 days.

Form N-8B-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 - Registration Statement of Face-Amount Certificate Companies

Key Information

Abstract

Section 8(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) requires every registered investment company to file a registration statement with the Commission that includes certain information about the company and recites the company’s policies on certain significant matters. Form N-8B-4 under the Act (17 CFR 274.14) is the form used by face-amount certificate companies to satisfy these requirements. Among other things, the form requires a face-amount certificate company to disclose information about the date and form of organization of the company, securities issued, its controlling persons, and its current and contemplated business. Additionally, the form requires disclosure about the face-amount certificate company’s fundamental policies, including its investment, borrowing, and lending policies. Further, the form requires a face-amount certificate company to provide financial statements as well as disclosures about the company’s investment adviser, depositaries, management personnel, and the compensation paid to directors, officers, and certain employees. The Commission uses the information provided in the collection of information to determine a face-amount certificate company’s compliance with Section 8(b) of the Act.

Form 3 - Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities

Key Information

Abstract

Form 3 is an initial statement of beneficial ownership of equity securities required to be filed by officers, directors and ten percent holders of companies with securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.Emergency Justfication:The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) is requesting emergency consideration, pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 3507(j) as implemented at 5 CFR 1320.13, for OMB Control Nos. 3235-0104 (Form 3), 3235-0287 (Form 4), 3235-0362 (Form 5) and 3235-0328 (Form ID) in connection with Release No. 34-104903 (“Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act Disclosure” final rule release). On December 18, 2025, Congress enacted the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act (HFIA Act). The HFIA Act amended Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) to require every person who is a director or an officer of a “foreign private issuer,” as that term is defined in 17 CFR 240.3b-4, with a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (but not 10 percent holders of FPIs) to file Form 3, Form 4, and/or Form 5. Paragraph (b)(2) of the HFIA Act states that the Section 16(a) amendments made by the HFIA Act shall take effect on the date that is 90 days after the date of enactment, or March 18, 2026. Paragraph (d)(1) of the HFIA Act required the Commission to issue final regulations (or amend or rescind, in whole or in part, existing regulations) to carry out the amendments made by the HFIA Act no later than 90 days after the date of enactment. The Commission’s final rules, adopted on February 27, 2026, included amendments to the General Instructions to Form 3 to clarify who needs to file the form under the HFIA Act, as well as some technical amendments to Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5. The amendments conformed these forms to the requirements of the HFIA Act. In order to file disclosures on Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5 on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”) (the Commission’s primary system for companies and individuals to submit documents pursuant to the federal securities laws), directors and officers of FPIs must apply for EDGAR access on Form ID. The final rules will not change Form ID itself, but we anticipate that the number of Form ID filings will increase. In light of the statutory requirement that directors and officers of any FPI whose securities were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g) of the Exchange Act as of the date of enactment of the HFIA Act file their initial reports with the Commission on March 18, 2026, and the related requirement that the Commission amend its rules to reflect the changes made by the HFIA Act by that same date, the Commission believes that the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to disrupt the collection of information mandated by the HFIA Act and cause the Commission to miss its statutory deadline to make conforming changes to its rules. In connection with this request, the Commission has determined: 1.The collections of information are needed prior to the time periods established under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and applicable regulations. 2.The collections are essential to the mission of the agency. 3.As discussed above, the Commission cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to disrupt a collection of information and cause a statutory deadline to be missed. 4.The Commission requests OMB approve or disapprove the collections of information by March 18, 2026. Thank you for considering this request.

Key Information

Abstract

This submission is being made for non-substantive changes to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. This submission seeks to make non-substantive changes by updating fields in the FCC Form 500, Funding Commitment Adjustment Request Form (FCC Form 500). First, we seek to add as a type of change, the option to change the invoicing method. Second, this submission seeks to remove the notification to USAC about transferred equipment as a type of change option in the FCC Form 500 because this notification is no longer required under program rules. The three forms serve the functions of the Universal Service Schools and Libraries Support Mechanism, 47 U.S.C. Sec. 254 et seq. They are used at the point were services provided pursuant to the program are implemented, or about to be implemented, and are a necessary prerequisite to the distribution of payments under the program. The forms ensure that Congressional mandates regarding safer access to the Internet by minors and adults are met.

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Quarterly Performance and Management Reports

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families Office of Community Services (OCS) is requesting to reinstate approval of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Quarterly Performance and Management Reports for three years. Changes are proposed to reduce redundancy and administrative burden for respondents. OCS implemented LIHEAP quarterly reporting to help strengthen the program and improve our ability to highlight the impact LIHEAP is having on households across the program. The quarterly reports help OCS track key information in near real time. The responses to this information collection are required in order to obtain LIHEAP data in accordance with the LIHEAP statute (42 U.S.C. 8621). Previously, OCS did not receive comprehensive performance and management data until approximately three months after the end of each federal fiscal year. The LIHEAP Quarterly Report assists OCS in receiving data and information about LIHEAP during the federal fiscal year. This almost real time data is particularly important this year as LIHEAP grant recipients both administer historical levels of LIHEAP funding and develop and implement plans to reach the most vulnerable households amidst ongoing energy price increases. Now and in future years, these reports are address challenges in a timely manner. OCS is requesting to continue use of quarterly reports, as the information collected is incredibly helpful in our administration and oversight of LIHEAP. Changes are proposed to reduce redundancy and administrative burden for LIHEAP grant recipients by including the primary data elements from the separate LIHEAP Carryover and Reallotment Report (CRR; OMB #: 0970-0106). The federal LIHEAP statute requires all grant recipients requesting carryover to explain why they wish to carryover and how they intend to use such carryover funds in the next year (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(2)(A)). Once approved, ACF will discontinue OMB #: 0970-0106. Quarterly reports for all four quarters will continue to be due approximately 30 days following the end of each respective quarter. In addition, OCS has incorporated the statutorily required elements from the CRR (OMB #: 0970-0106) to the quarters 3 and 4 reports.

Dissemination of Quotations -- Rule 602 of Regulation NMS

Key Information

Abstract

Section 11A(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) directs the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) to use its authority under the Exchange Act to facilitate the establishment of a national market system in which, among other things, brokers, dealers, and investors have access to information on securities quotations and transactions. Moreover, the Commission is authorized, under Sections 11A(c)(1)(B) and (F) of the Exchange Act, to assure the prompt, accurate and reliable distribution of quotation information and to assure the fairness and usefulness of the form and content of such information. To achieve these statutory objectives, the Commission promulgated Rule 11Ac1-1, designated as Rule 602 of Regulation NMS, 17 CFR 242.602. Rule 602 contains two related collections of information. The first collection of information is found in Rule 602(a). This requirement obligates each national securities exchange and national securities association to make available to quotation vendors for dissemination to the public the best bid, best offer, and aggregate quotation size for each “subject security,” as defined under the Rule. The second collection of information is found in Rule 602(b). This requirement obligates each exchange member and over-the-counter (“OTC”) market maker that is a “responsible broker or dealer,” as defined under the Rule, to communicate to an exchange or association its best bids, best offers, and quotation sizes for subject securities.

Form F-3 Registration Statement

Key Information

Abstract

The Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) was designed to prevent misrepresentation, deceit and other fraudulent acts and practices in the sale of securities. Section 5 of the Securities Act requires that a registration statement be filed before any security is publicly offered, and that the registration statement be effective before any security is sold. Section 7 of the Securities Act and Schedule A outlines the information that must be contained in a registration statement. Section 7 gives the Commission the authority to vary such disclosure for various classes of issuers and securities. The Commission has used its statutory authority to develop a number of specialized registration statement forms that tailor disclosure requirements based on the type of offering, issuer, or other parameters, thereby eliminating burdensome and unnecessary requirements while maintaining investor protection. Form F-3 (17 CFR 239.33) is a short-form securities registration statement that is available to any foreign private issuer as defined in Securities Act Rule 405 (17 CFR 230.405) that meets certain registrant and transaction eligibility requirements under the form. The purpose of the information collection is to provide disclosure of material financial and other information with which investors may evaluate the merits of securities in order to make investment decisions.

Essential Community Provider-Network Adequacy (ECP/NA) Data Collection to Support QHP Certification (CMS-10803)

Key Information

Abstract

In accordance with section 1311(c)(1)(C) of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Qualified Health Plan (QHP) issuers, including Stand-alone Dental Plan (SADP) issuers, are required to ensure access to a sufficient number and geographic distribution of essential community providers (ECPs), where available, that serve predominantly low-income, medically-underserved individuals. Under 45 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 156.235, the Secretary of HHS has established criteria for inclusion of a sufficient number and geographic distribution of ECPs, where available, in an issuer’s network to ensure reasonable and timely access to a broad range of such providers for low-income, medically underserved individuals in their service areas. To satisfy this ECP requirement, medical QHP and SADP issuers must submit an Essential Community Provider/Network Adequacy (ECP/NA) template as part of their QHP application, in which they must list the ECPs with whom they have contracted. In the Issuer Module, issuers will also have to attest to meeting each element of the ECP standard. In accordance with section 1311(c)(1)(B) of the ACA, QHP issuers, including SADP issuers, are required to ensure a sufficient choice of providers (in a manner consistent with the applicable provisions under section 2702(c) of the Public Health Service Act). Under CFR 156.230, QHPs that use a provider network must ensure that the network is sufficient in number and types of providers, including providers that specialize in mental health and substance use disorder services, to assure that all services will be accessible without unreasonable delay. This information collection request (ICR) serves as a formal request for a new clearance associated with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2023 Proposed Rule (2023 Payment Notice). This ICR details the burden associated with collecting and reviewing essential community provider and network adequacy data.
