Abstract

This information collection request covers the reporting and recordkeeping provisions associated with FDA's implementation of sections 222, 223, and 224 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA), which require that device establishment registrations and listings under section 21 U.S.C. 360(p) (including the submission of updated information) be submitted to the Secretary by electronic means, unless the Secretary grants a request for waiver of the requirement because the use of electronic means is not reasonable for the person requesting the waiver.

Abstract

This information collection request documents the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) burden for the labeling requirements for certain minimum risk pesticide products exempt from Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) registration under 40 CFR 152.25(f). These requirements were updated in the final rule entitled: Pesticides; Revisions to Minimum Risk Exemption (80 FR 80653; December 28, 2015). Under 40 CFR 152.25(f), EPA has exempted from the requirement of FIFRA registration certain pesticide products if they are composed of specified ingredients and labeled accordingly. EPA created the exemption for minimum risk pesticides to eliminate the need for industry or business to expend significant resources to apply for and maintain regulated products that are deemed to be of minimum risk to human health and the environment. In addition, exempting such products freed Agency resources to focus on evaluating formulations whose toxicity was less well characterized, or was of higher toxicity. The 2015 Final Rule reorganized the ingredients lists and added specific chemical identifiers to clarify to manufacturers, the public, and Federal, state, and tribal inspectors the specific chemical substances that are permitted in minimum risk pesticide products. EPA also modified the label requirements to require the use of specific label display names of ingredients and to require producer contact information on the label. The primary goal of this rulemaking was to clarify the conditions of exemption for minimum risk pesticides by clarifying the specific ingredients that are permitted in minimum risk pesticide products and to provide company contact information on the label. The previous version of this ICR covered the paperwork burdens associated with existing products updating their labels to comply with the new requirements during the 2015 Final Rule’s compliance period. EPA anticipates that those burdens have been realized and is now accounting for the potential burden for new products coming into the market.

Abstract

The Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities Coordinating Center (TPSID-CC) program is the evaluation arm for the work that is being completed by the TPSID program grantees. TPSID-CC uses data collected from the work that the TPSID program grantees are doing on behalf of the TPSID program participants, to establish a comprehensive research and evaluation protocol for TPSID program grantees, non-TPSID program CTP (comprehensive transition programs) and pertinent stakeholders. TPSID program grantees can use the evidence-based information they receive from the data that is collected by the TPSID-CC to find ways to apply what they have learned to their respective TPSID program projects. Simultaneously, the TPSID-CC is also providing technical assistance to build the capacity of IHEs across the country to make college possible for students with intellectual disabilities who want to go to college Data must be collected by the TPSID-CC on accreditation standards and communications with recognized accrediting agencies; descriptions and analyses of funding streams, and the impact of the TPSID-CC’s technical assistance activities related to outreach and dissemination. In October 2020, the Institute for Community Inclusion (ICI), UMass Boston received a five-year cooperative agreement from the Office of Postsecondary Education to serve as the National Coordinating Center (NCC) for colleges and universities implementing inclusive higher education programs for students with intellectual disabilities, including 22 model demonstration projects aimed at creating inclusive comprehensive transition and postsecondary programs for students with intellectual disabilities known as Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSIDs). To reduce respondent burden, the NCC has streamlined and simplified the previously approved evaluation system for the TPSID programs. The NCC will enhance the collection and analyses of longitudinal follow-up data from TPSID model programs via an already developed and previously OMB approved evaluation system for the TPSID programs. The revised data collection system is part of an evaluation effort. The system will collect program data at the institutions from TPSID program staff via an online, secure data management system.

CISA is responsible for performing Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure, which may originate outside the United States Government (USG) network/community and affect users within the USG and/or broader community, or originate within the USG community and affect users both within and outside of it. Often, therefore, the effective handling of security incidents relies on information sharing among individual users, industry, and the USG, which may be facilitated by and through CISA. A dedicated form on the CISA website will allow for reporting of vulnerabilities that the reporting entity believe to be CISA Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) eligible. Upon submission, CISA will evaluate the information provided, and then will triage through the CVD process, if all CISA scoped CVD requirements are met.

Abstract

Pursuant to section 1886(s)(4)(C) of the Social Security Act as added and amended by sections 3401 and 10322 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and further amended by section 4125(c) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, starting in FY 2014 (that is, October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014) and for subsequent fiscal years, IPFs paid under the IPF PPS shall submit pre-defined quality measures to the CMS. Such data shall be submitted in a form and manner, and at a time specified by the Secretary. Section 1886(s)(4)(A) of the Act provides that IPFs that fail to submit data on the selected quality measures and comply with other administrative requirements will have their IPF prospective payment system (PPS) payment updates reduced by 2.0 percentage points. This is a revision of the currently approved information collection request. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS’) quality reporting programs promote higher quality, more efficient healthcare for Medicare beneficiaries by collecting and reporting on quality-of-care metrics. This information is made available to consumers, both to empower Medicare beneficiaries and inform decision-making, as well as to incentivize healthcare facilities to make continued improvements. Specifically, CMS has implemented quality measure reporting programs for multiple settings, including for the Inpatient Psychiatric Facility (IPF) setting, to achieve its overarching priorities and initiatives, including the National Quality Strategy and the Meaningful Measure 2.0 Framework. In particular, Meaningful Measures 2.0 promotes innovation and modernization of all aspects of quality to better address health care priorities and gaps, emphasize digital quality measurement, and promote patient perspectives by supporting five interrelated goals: (1) empower consumers to make good health care choices through patient-directed quality measures and public transparency, (2) leverage quality measures to promote health equity and close gaps in care, (3) streamline quality measurement, (4) leverage measures to drive outcome improvement through public reporting and payment programs, and (5) improve quality measure efficiency by transitioning to digital measures and using advanced data analytics. The information collection requirements for the FY 2014 through FY 2028 program years (that is, data submitted from CY 2013 through CY 2027) are currently approved under OMB control number 0938-1171 (expiration date January 31, 2027). This request covers updates to the data collection requirements beginning with the FY 2026 payment determination (that is data submitted in CY 2025) and subsequent years.

Abstract

The information collected serves to identify and develop safety countermeasures that will reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. These Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies -- Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), Special Crash Investigations (SCI), and Special Studies (SS) -- involve voluntary information collections through which NHTSA collects detailed data on real world motor vehicle crashes. Specifically, these systems collect data on vehicle safety system performance, occupant injury information including their kinematic interaction with interior components and scene geometry, marking and traffic controls. Respondents are police agencies that collect information on police-reported motor vehicle crashes, employees of tow yards where crashed vehicles are stored, people involved in these crashes, and hospitals with medical records for the people injured in the crash. For the standard investigation-based crash data studies acquisition process, once a crash has been selected for investigation, crash technicians or investigators locate, visit, measure, and photograph the crash scene; locate, inspect, and photograph vehicles; conduct a telephone or personal interview with the involved individuals or surrogate (another person who can provide occupant or crash information, such as parents for minor, or a parent or spouse for decreased individual); and obtain and record crash injury information received from various medical data sources. These information collections support NHTSA’s mission to save lives and prevent injuries due to traffic crashes. The data collected from these systems are used to describe and analyze circumstances, mechanisms, and consequences of serious motor vehicle crashes in the United States. Additionally, these data are used by NHTSA to identify the primary factors related to the source of crashes and their injury outcomes, develop and evaluate effective safety countermeasures, the establishment and enforcement of motor vehicle regulations, that reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58) (IIJA) was signed into law. The Crash Data section (section 24108) of the IIJA authorizes the Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by delegation) to use funds to enhance the collection of data under CISS by, among other things, including additional data collection sites. As a result of the additional funding provided by the IIJA, in addition to the expansion of data collection from the last modification, NHTSA now plans to phase in 17 additional data collection sites in CISS over the next 3 years. The total data collection sites will incrementally increase from 56 to 73 over the next three years. NHTSA is now accounting for the increases in burden hours for interviewees, police, tow yards and medical facilities for an additional 17 data collection sites. The increase in burden hours and cost for these additional data collection sites are reflected in the Burden to Respondent section of this document. The current approval for Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies collection indicated a total annual 12,063 burden hours; this request increases the total annual burden hours to 17,521. The request for the collection of information is revised due to increasing the number of crashes investigated by Crash Technicians for 2025 and future years for CISS program. The combined impact is an increase of 5,458 total annual burden hours.
