Abstract

In the guidance document, FDA requests tobacco health document submissions from manufacturers and importers of tobacco products based on the statutory requirements and compliance dates. As indicated in the guidance, all manufacturers and importers of tobacco products are required to provide immediate and ongoing submission of health documents developed after June 22, 2009. However, FDA generally does not intend to enforce the requirement at this time with respect to all such health documents, so long as a specified set of documents, those developed between June 23, 2009, and December 31, 2009, are provided at least 90 days prior to the delivery for introduction of tobacco products into interstate commerce. Thereafter, manufacturers should preserve all health documents, including those that relate to products for further manufacturing and those developed after December 31, 2009, for future submission to FDA. Respondents submit information through a facilitative electronic form or in paper form using Form FDA 3743. In both forms, FDA requests information including: submitter identification, submitter point of contact, submission format and contents (as applicable), confirmation statement, document categorization (as applicable), document readability and accessibility, and document metadata. The information collected will inform FDA's regulatory processes and decision making such as, development of good manufacturing practices, review standards for new tobacco products, and regulation of modified risk tobacco products, among others.

Abstract

This request is for a revision and extension of a currently approved collection. The revision to this collection is to merge the federally mandated logbook requirement for non-trawl groundfish fisheries that occur in the exclusive economic zone off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California (0648-0804) into this control number. Once cleared by OMB, control number 0648-0804 will be discontinued. The success of fisheries management programs depends significantly on the availability of fishery data. Currently, the states of Washington and Oregon administer a trawl logbook on behalf of the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) and NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The state of California repealed their requirement, effective April 1, 2019, therefore, NMFS created a federal requirement in order to maintain logbook coverage from trawl vessels in California. The log used is a standard format developed by the Council to collect information necessary to effectively manage the fishery on a coast-wide basis. The trawl logbook collects haul-level effort data including tow time, tow location, depth of catch, net type, target strategy, and estimated pounds of fish retained per tow. Each trawl log represents a single fishing trip. Trawl logbook data is used in stock assessments, to evaluate spatial bycatch issues, and is used for fishery monitoring and enforcement. A federal non-trawl logbook was developed and implemented in 2023. Data collected in the non-trawl logbook contributes to stock assessments, informs managers about location-specific catch and discards on non-observed trips and vessels, supports economic analysis, and provides effort information to quantify groundfish fishery effort to allow more precise estimation of bycatch of with Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed species, such as seabirds and humpback whales. NMFS contracts with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) to distribute and collect the logbook. These data are used regularly by NMFS, the Pacific Fishery Management Council, the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program, NMFS Office of Law Enforcement, and the Coast Guard for fisheries management and enforcement.

Abstract

The Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) at the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) contracted with MEF Associates, with subcontractor Abt Associates, to develop the Research Design and Data Collection and Analysis Plan for an evaluation of the Moving to Work Expansion Asset Building Cohort. As required under the Paperwork Reduction Act, HUD seeks approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for data collection instruments for the evaluation. Moving to Work (MTW) is a HUD demonstration that encourages selected PHAs to test ways to increase the cost effectiveness of federal housing programs, encourage greater self-sufficiency of households receiving housing assistance, and increase housing choice for low-income families. MTW designation gives PHAs relief from some regulations and laws that apply to Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and public housing programs. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 authorized HUD to award MTW authority to 100 additional PHAs by September 2023, and required that new MTW agencies be selected in cohorts with a specific policy focus. The Asset Building Cohort will test two types of asset building programs for HUD households, rent reporting for credit building and an opt-out savings account program. The ABC has 17 PHAs. Of these 17 PHAs, 9 PHAs will implement an opt-out savings program, six PHAs will implement reporting rent payments to credit agencies, and two PHAs have unique asset building programs. The evaluation of the ABC will include these three components: 1) Program Implementation Study 2) Impact Studies: a. Rent Reporting for Credit Building Study i . Quantitative study of impact on credit scores ii. Qualitative study of family experiences with rent reporting b. Opt-Out Savings Account Study i. Household survey To answer the research questions, the evaluation will collect data from multiple sources, including: • Administrative Data o Credit agency data to measure credit scores o HUD administrative data to describe household income and demographics o PHA data to enable random selection of households for the study samples • Program Data o Program documents to describe program implementation and outreach to households o Program data to describe program implementation, such as how many households participated, how much money was deposited by the PHA into the opt-out savings account, and how much the PHA paid to the partner organizations • Primary Data o Program implementation interviews with PHA staff (n=51) o Program implementation interviews with staff of partner organizations (n=12) o Program implementation interviews with HUD-assisted residents (n = 10) o Baseline information form for Rent Reporting study participants (n= 300) o Informed consent form for Rent Reporting study participants (n= 300) o Interviews for Rent Reporting Qualitative study round 1 (n = 40) o Interview for Rent Reporting Qualitative study round 2 (n=40) The data collection activities covered under this ICR are expected to begin in January 2024 and continue through June 2025; phase two of the data collection is expected to begin in June 2025 and continue through January 2027.

Abstract

This ICR is for a guidance intended to assist tobacco manufacturers, importers, researchers, and investigators, and their representatives who seek meetings with staff of FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). This guidance does not pertain to other types of meetings or meeting requests with CTP staff. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) offers several pathways to obtain an order from FDA to authorize the marketing of a new tobacco product before it may be introduced or delivered into interstate commerce. To provide assistance with these pathways to market products, FDA will meet with tobacco product manufacturers, importers, researchers, and investigators (or their representatives) where appropriate. This guidance is intended to assist persons who seek guidance relating to their research to inform the regulation of tobacco products or to support the development or marketing of tobacco products. This guidance describes two collections of information: (1) The submission of a meeting request containing certain information and (2) the submission of a meeting information package in advance of the meeting. The purpose of the meeting information package is to provide Agency staff the opportunity to adequately prepare for the meeting, including the review of relevant data concerning the product. In the Agency’s experience, reviewing such information is critical to achieving a productive meeting. For information that was previously submitted in a meeting request, the information package should provide updated information that reflects the most current and accurate information available.

Abstract

The DEA implements the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) which requires that every person who manufactures or distributes a list I chemical shall annually obtain a registration for that purpose. 21 U.S.C. 822 and 823. Additionally, the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act (CSIEA) requires that persons who import or export list I chemicals must obtain a registration prior to conducting such activities. 21 U.S.C. 957 and 958. DEA Form 510 is utilized by applicants desiring to manufacture, distribute, import, and export list I chemicals. DEA Form 510A is utilized for renewal of the registration on an annual basis. DEA is proposing to revise the regulations for application and renewal by requiring all DEA registrants to apply for registration online using the agency’s secure portal. This will eliminate the need for paper forms and payments, streamline the registration process, and save time and expense for both the agency and registration population.

Abstract

The Agency will collect, analyze, and interpret information gathered through this generic clearance to identify services’ accessibility, navigation, and use by customers and make improvements in service delivery based on customer insights gathered through developing an understanding of the user experience interacting with the Government. For the purposes of this request, "customers" are individuals, businesses, and organizations that interact with a Federal Government agency or program, either directly or via a Federal contractor. "Service delivery" or "services" refers to the multitude of diverse interactions between a customer and a Federal agency, such as applying for a benefit or loan, receiving a service such as healthcare or small business counseling, requesting a document such as a passport or social security card, complying with a rule or regulation such as filing taxes or declaring goods, using resources such as a park or historical site, or seeking information such as public health or consumer protection notices. Under this request, two types of activities will be conducted to generate customer insights: Customer Research (E.g., User Persona and Journey Map Development): A critical first component of understanding the customer experience is to develop customer personas and journey maps. This process enables the Agency to more deeply understand the customer segments they serve and to organize the processes customers interact with throughout their engagement with the Federal entity to accomplish a task or meet a need. Customer Feedback Surveys: Surveys to be considered under this generic clearance will include those surveys modeled on the OMB Circular A-11 CX Feedback survey to improve customer service by collecting feedback at a specific point during a customer journey. This could include attending a CMS-sponsored conference, interacting with the Agency about software code questions for the relevant APIs, or experience with using the data the Agency provides.

The request for clearance reflects requirements necessary under 14 CFR part 121 and part 135 to ensure safety of flight by making certain that all part 121 air carriers, and all part 135 air carriers with aircraft type certificated with a passenger seating configuration of 10 seats or more (excluding any pilot seat) update their required contract maintenance list in their manuals. It is mandatory that affected air carriers report this information monthly for the FAA to review. This information consists of who is performing maintenance on behalf of each affected air carrier, what type of maintenance is being performed, and the location(s) where the maintenance is performed. The information will be recorded in the FAA’s oversight tool, the Safety Assurance System (SAS), and used by the FAA to adequately target its inspection resources for surveillance and make accurate risk assessments. This is a renewal for this collection of information. FAA has used maintenance provider data from the previous collection, in part, to assist in development of new streamlined processes for safety oversight of contract maintenance. The newly designed oversight process is heavily dependent on this data collection, and will result in a more agile and efficient FAA workforce, which in turn will reduce the audit burden on FAA certificated repair stations.
