Tobacco Product Establishment Registration and Submission of Certain Health Information

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), amended by the Tobacco Control Act of 2009, grants FDA the authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products to protect the public health generally and to reduce tobacco use by minors. Section 905 of the FD&C Act requires the annual registration of any establishment in any State engaged in the manufacture, preparation, compounding, or processing of a tobacco product or tobacco products. Section 904 of the FD&C Act requires that each tobacco product manufacturer or importer submit a listing of all ingredients and additives that are added by the manufacturer to each tobacco product by brand and by quantity in each brand and sub brand. Section 904 also requires that a tobacco product manufacturer advise the FDA in writing prior to adding any new tobacco additive or increasing in quantity an existing tobacco additive. It also requires that a tobacco product manufacturer advise the FDA in writing prior to eliminating or decreasing an existing additive, or adding or increasing an additive designated by the FDA as not a human or animal carcinogen, or otherwise harmful to health under intended conditions of use.

Air Carrier Contract Maintenance Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

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.

NSPS for Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) were proposed on December 9, 2004 (69 FR 71472), promulgated on December 16, 2005 (70 FR 74870), and revised on November 24, 2006 (71 FR 67802). These regulations apply to very small municipal waste combustion units (VSMWC) and institutional waste incineration (IWI) units. A new VSMWC or IWI unit is subject to this subpart if it meets either of two criteria: 1) it commenced construction after August 31, 2020; or 2) it commenced reconstruction or modification on or after 180 days after date of final rule in the Federal Regsiter. On August 31, 2020, the EPA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register for the OSWI NSPS and EG rules that addressed the requisite CAA section 129(a)(5) periodic review (85 FR 54178), as well as other proposed changes to the standards. The EPA is finalizing its CAA section 129(a)(5) review, including our determination that there are no developments in practices, processes, or control technologies that warrant revisions to the OSWI standards and requirements. The EPA is finalizing certain other revisions, including the addition of a subcategory of new VSMWC or IWI units that have a capacity to combust less than 10 TPD of waste that are constructed on or after August 30, 2020, changes to applicability-related and definitional changes; changes to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions; changes to testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements; and other miscellaneous technical and editorial changes. The EPA is also finalizing electronic reporting requirements for submittal of certain reports and performance test results. This ICR includes the burden associated with the existing rule requirements and the incremental burden associated with the final rule. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE.

Medical Device Accessories

Key Information

Abstract

The guidance document “Medical Device Accessories--Describing Accessories and Classification Mechanisms for Accessory Types” encourages manufacturers and other parties to utilize the “de novo request” process defined in section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act to request risk-based classifications of new types of medical device accessories. This process provides a pathway to class I or class II classification for accessory devices for which general controls, or general and special controls, provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness, but for which there is no legally marketed predicate device. Under the de novo request process, manufacturers and other parties may submit a de novo requesting that FDA make a classification determination for the accessory device. The de novo must include a description of the device and detailed information and reasons for any recommended classification.

Exemptions for Air Taxi Registration

Key Information

Abstract

Part 298 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Exemptions for Air Taxi Registration, establishes a classification of air carriers known as air taxi operators that offer on- demand passenger service. The regulation exempts these small operators from certain provisions of the Federal statute to permit them to obtain economic authority by filing a one-page, front and back, OST Form 4507, Air Taxi Operator Registration, and Amendments under Part 298 of DOT’s Regulations. DOT expects to receive 50 new air taxi registrations and 2000 amended air taxi registrations each year, resulting in 2,050 total respondents. Further, DOT expects filers of new registrations to take 1 hour to complete the form, while it should only take 30 minutes to prepare amendments to the form. Thus, the total annual burden is expected to be 1050 hours. 1. Responding to the collection is mandatory. 2. The entities who must respond are air taxi operators that offer on-demand passenger air service. 3. The collection is a disclosure of information required by 14 CFR Part 298. 4. The collection frequency is determined by changes in the air carrier’s operation. A new form can be filed amending the information previously filed. 5. The information reported includes the name of the air carrier, its mailing address and/or principal place of business, contact information, whether it is an initial or amended filing, type of air service the carrier intends to perform, make and model of aircraft, FAA registration number, passenger seats installed, and whether or not the carrier is a U.S. citizen. 6. The information submitted by the air carrier is received by the DOT/FAA. 7. The purpose of the collection is to determine whether air taxi operations meet the Department’s criteria for an operating authorization under 14 CFR Part 298. It allows small air taxi operators, who generally operate small aircraft, to be relieved of the financial burden of going through the economic fitness process otherwise required by regulation. 8. This is not a revision.

Healthcare Fraud Prevention Partnership (HFPP): Data Sharing and Information Exchange (CMS-10501)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1128C(a)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320a-7c(a)(2)) authorizes the Secretary and the Attorney General to consult with, and arrange for the sharing of data with representatives of health plans to establish a Fraud and Abuse Control Program as specified in Section 1128(C)(a)(1) of the Social Security Act. This is known as the Healthcare Fraud Prevention Partnership (HFPP). It was officially established by a Charter in fall 2012 and signed by HHS Secretary Sibelius and US Attorney General Holder. The HFPP is a joint initiative established by the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Justice to detect and prevent the prevalence of healthcare fraud through data and information-sharing and applying analytic capabilities by the public and private sectors. The HFPP collaboration provides a unique opportunity to transition from traditional "pay and chase" approaches for fraud detection and recovery towards a data-driven model for identifying and predicting aberrant activity. A central goal of the HFPP is to identify the optimal way to coordinate nationwide sharing of health care claims information, including aggregating claims and payment information from large public healthcare programs and private insurance payers. In addition to sharing data and information, the HFPP is focused on advancing analytics, training, outreach, education to support anti-fraud efforts and achieving its objectives, primarily through goal-oriented, well-designed fraud studies. The HFPP's organizational structure is made up of an Executive Board, the Data Analysis and Review Committee, and the Information Sharing Committee. The HFPP will also include a Trusted Third Party that CMS will engage to provide the technical and operational platform to support the partnerships' data sharing, collaboration and study outreach activities. Enabling data sharing and providing analytical computing capabilities of the TTP is central to the success of the HFPP.

This request is for the revision and extension of OMB Control Number: 0648-0335, sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Office of International Affairs, Trade, and Commerce (IATC). Currently, OMB Control Number 0648-0335 includes one information collection: the Fisheries Certificate of Origin (FCO; also known as the NOAA Form 370). The revision will transfer five (5) information collections included under OMB Control Number 0648-0387, sponsored by NMFS, West Coast Region (WCR), to 0648-0335. The purpose of this transfer is to more accurately reflect how the information is being managed. The five information collections being transferred will be removed from 0648-0387 during its next renewal process and included under 0648-0335 going forward. There are no substantive changes to either the Fisheries Certificate of Origin, or the five information collections being transferred from 0648-0387.

Implementation of Medicare Programs; - Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program (CMS-10552)

Key Information

Abstract

Abstract (2000 characters maximum) The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5) was enacted on February 17, 2009, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure and improve affordable health care. Expanded use of health information technology (HIT) and certified electronic health record (EHR) technology will improve the quality and value of America's health care. Title IV of Division B of the Recovery Act amends Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act (the Act) by establishing incentive payments to eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs), and Medicare Advantage organizations participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs that adopt and successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology (CEHRT). These Recovery Act provisions, together with Title XIII of Division A of the Recovery Act, may be cited as the “Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act” or the “HITECH Act”. In 2019, the EHR Incentives Program for eligible hospitals and CAHs was subsequently renamed the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program. We are collecting information from participants in this program on objectives and measures focused on the meaningful use of CEHRT in order to incentivize the advanced use of CEHRT to support health information exchange, interoperability, advanced quality measurement, and maximizing clinical effectiveness and efficiency. In the FY 2026 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we proposed to adopt a new optional bonus measure under the Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange objective for health information exchange with a public health agency (PHA) that occurs using TEFCA, and where the eligible hospital or CAH meets certain additional requirements, beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026. We also proposed to modify two measures: (1) the SAFER Guides measure, which we proposed to modify by requiring eligible hospitals and CAHs to attest “yes” to completing an annual self-assessment using the SAFER Guides published in January 2025 beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026; and (2) the Security Risk Analysis measure, which we proposed to modify to require eligible hospitals and CAHs to attest “yes” to having conducted security risk management as required under the HIPAA Security Rule beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026. We also proposed to define the EHR reporting period in CY 2026 and subsequent years as a minimum of any continuous 180-day period within that CY for eligible hospitals and CAHs participating in the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program.

Leasing of Osage Reservation Lands for Oil and Gas Mining (25 CFR 226)

Key Information

Abstract

In 1906, Congress passed “An Act for the division of the lands and funds of the Osage Indians in Oklahoma Territory, and for other purposes,” providing for allotment of the Osage Nation’s lands. See Act of June 28, 1906, Pub. L. No. 59-321, 34 Stat. 539, as amended (1906 Act). Section 3 of the 1906 Act severed the surface estate from the subsurface mineral estate (Osage Mineral Estate) and reserved all oil, gas, coal, and other minerals to the Osage Nation. Thus, the United States holds the Osage Mineral Estate in trust for the benefit of the Osage Nation. The 1906 Act authorizes the Osage Nation to lease the Osage Mineral Estate for oil and gas mining, subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior and under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe. The regulations governing such leasing are set forth in 25 CFR 226. The information collections in 25 CFR part 226 specify what information lessees, operators, and others must provide to the BIA regarding leasing, exploration, development, and production. These information collections are necessary for the BIA to administer leasing of the Osage Mineral Estate, collect and account for royalty revenues, and ensure the protection of resource values.
