Medicare Part C and Part D Data Validation (42 CFR 422.516(g) and 423.514(g)) (CMS-10305)

Key Information

Abstract

CMS' regulatory authority to require data validation is described in 42 CFR 422.516(g) and 423.514(g). Organizations contracted to offer Medicare Part C and Part D benefits are required to report data to CMS on a variety of measures. In order for the data to be useful for monitoring and performance measurement, the data must be reliable, valid, complete, and comparable among sponsoring organizations. To meet this goal, CMS has developed reporting standards and data validation specifications with respect to the Part C and Part D reporting requirements. These standards provide a review process for Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs), Cost Plans, and Part D sponsors to use to conduct independent data validation checks on their reported Part C and Part D data to determine their reliability, validity, completeness, and comparability in accordance with specifications developed by CMS.

The reporting schedules assist banks in understanding expectations surrounding the system development necessary for implementation and validation of the framework. The data also improves the OCC’s ability to monitor bank activities through the examination processes.

Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) User Acceptance and Effectiveness Testing using Simulator and/or Closed Track Methods

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will collect information from the public as part of a multi-year research effort to learn about drivers’ acceptance and effectiveness of Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technology. This project will complement the NHTSA FY24 research project, “Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) Assessment of Enabling Technologies and Implementation Approaches” by conducting research on the interplay between acceptance and effectiveness of different ISA systems. For this study, user acceptance refers to the willingness of drivers to use ISA technology. Effectiveness refers to how speeding behavior may change as a result of ISA technology. This research will add to the state of knowledge and is not immediately intended to inform regulations or policy. The data collections will be performed once to obtain the target number of valid test participants. Study participants will be members of the general public and participation will be voluntary with monetary compensation provided. Participants are generally healthy individuals aged 18 and older, recruited using the University of Iowa Driving Safety Research Institute (DSRI) registry and through email blasts to the University of Iowa community. Potential participants will be screened via an online eligibility questionnaire. The research will be conducted in three parts, referred to as Study 1, Study 2, and Study 3. All study procedures will be approved by the University of Iowa Institutional Review Board (IRB). Data collection will begin upon receipt of PRA clearance and will involve human-subjects data collection using the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS-1) at DSRI. Eligible participants will provide informed consent to enroll in the study. For Study 1, participants will complete an intake and eligibility procedure, a training presentation, a familiarization drive, wellness questionnaires to assess simulator sickness, five study drives accompanied by a questionnaire after each drive to assess their acceptance and attitudes of ISA, and a questionnaire at the end of the study to measure their driving and speed behaviors. For Study 2 and Study 3, participants will complete an intake and eligibility procedure, a training presentation, a pre-drive questionnaire to assess their acceptance and attitudes of ISA, a familiarization drive, wellness questionnaires to assess simulator sickness, two study drives, and a post-drive questionnaire to assess their acceptance and attitudes of ISA and their driving and speed behaviors. The NADS-1 simulator will collect vehicle data (e.g., brake inputs, steering wheel angle) and data about the surrounding environment (e.g., distance to surrounding vehicles and lane markings). This is a new information collection that is estimated at 311 annual burden hours and $10,227 annual opportunity costs.

Schools and Libraries Cybersecurity Pilot Program

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 adds a certification to the Cybersecurity Pilot Program’s FCC Form 474 and the third part of the FCC Form 484 to reflect the revised suspension and debarment framework adopted by the Commission to exclude or limit bad actors from participation in federal funding programs, such as the Universal Service Fund (USF) programs. The Commission established a three-year Cybersecurity Pilot Program to ascertain whether supporting cybersecurity and advanced firewall services with universal service support could advance the key universal service principles of providing quality Internet and broadband services to K-12 schools and libraries at just, reasonable, and affordable rates; and to ensure schools' and libraries' access to advanced telecommunications provided by Congress in the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Data System for Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network

Key Information

Abstract

Section 372(a) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide for the establishment and operation of the OPTN. On behalf of HRSA, the OPTN oversees the United States (U.S.) organ procurement and transplantation system. Among its statutory responsibilities, the OPTN maintains the national waiting list of individuals awaiting organ transplantation, operates the computerized system that matches donor organs with transplant candidates, and maintains a 24-hour system to facilitate organ matching and placement. In accordance with Section 372(b)(2)(I) of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. § 274(b)(2)(I)), the OPTN must also collect, analyze, and publish data concerning organ procurement and transplantation. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) seeks OMB approval for revisions to the Data System for the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) information collection and the associated forms listed in Section 12. The proposed revisions include updates to existing data collection forms approved by the OPTN Board of Directors (BOD) to improve organ matching, organ allocation, and compliance with OPTN policies. This request also adds two new forms to the information collection: the Patient Safety Contact Management Form and the Patient Transfer Form (Forms 151 and 152 in the burden table in Section 12). The Patient Safety Contact Management Form enables OPTN members to identify their organization's primary and secondary patient safety contacts. The Patient Transfer Form enables transplant centers to document and facilitate the transfer of patients to another transplant center following transplantation and during the annual post-transplant follow-up period.

West Coast Region Gear Identification Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for revision of the current collection for the West Coast Gear Identification Requirements pursuant to rule 0648-BN00. This rulemaking implements gear marking requirements and entanglement risk reduction measures for portions of the Pacific coast groundfish fishery that operates in the EEZ. This rulemaking will consist of mandatory requirements and voluntary measures. These new requirements and voluntary measures will be established pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The intent of the gear marking requirements is to increase the likelihood of attributing entanglements to a specific fishery and gear type. The intent of the risk reduction measures is to reduce bycatch by decreasing the likelihood of marine animal entanglements with fishing line. This rulemaking, in part, responds to increased rates of entanglement of humpback whales with Pacific coast fishing gear since 2014. The gear marking component of this rulemaking is one facet of a broader, coordinated effort to mark gear in multiple fisheries that occur off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. NMFS requested public comment on these proposed requirements and voluntary measures and received two comments related to estimates of costs and burden hours.

Trademark Petitions

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) administers the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., which provides for the registration of trademarks, service marks, collective trademarks and collective service marks, collective membership marks, and certification marks. Individuals and businesses that use or intend to use such marks in commerce may file an application to register their marks with the USPTO. This information collection covers various trademark related communications to the USPTO, including letters of protest, requests to make special, responses to petition inquiry letters, petitions to make special, requests to restore a filing date, and requests for reinstatement. The information is used by the public for a variety of private business purposes related to establishing and enforcing trademark rights. Information relating to the registration of a trademark is made available to the public by the USPTO. However, the release of information in a letter of protest is controlled and may be available only upon request. A letter of protest is a procedure whereby third parties who object to the registration of a mark in a pending application may bring to the attention of the USPTO evidence bearing on the registrability of the mark. A letter of protest must identify the application being protested and the proposed grounds for refusing registration and include relevant evidence to support the protest. A request to make special may be submitted where an applicant requests that initial examination of an application be advanced out of its regular order because the mark in the application was the subject of an inadvertently cancelled or expired previous registration. A response to a petition inquiry letter is submitted by a petitioner who is responding to a notice of deficiency that the USPTO issued after receiving an incomplete petition to the Director. A petition may be considered incomplete if, for example, it does not include the fee required by 37 CFR 2.6 or if it includes an unverified assertion that is not supported by evidence. The USPTO generally examines applications in the order in which they are received. A petition to make special is a request by the applicant to advance the initial examination of an application out of its regular order. A request to restore a filing date is submitted by an applicant who previously filed an application that was denied a filing date. The request must include evidence showing that the applicant is entitled to the earlier filing date. If an applicant has proof that an application was abandoned due to a USPTO error, an applicant may file a request to reinstate the application instead of a petition to revive. To support such a request, the applicant must include evidence of the USPTO error.
