No Surprises Act: IDR Process

Key Information

Abstract

The CAA added provisions applicable to group health plans and health insurance issuers in the group and individual markets in a new Part D of title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) and also added new provisions to part 7 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and Subchapter B of chapter 100 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). Section 102 of the No Surprises Act added Code section 9816, ERISA section 716, and PHS Act section 2799A-1, which contain limitations on cost sharing and requirements for initial payments for emergency services. Section 103 of the No Surprises Act amended Code section 9816, ERISA section 716, and PHS Act section 2799A-1 to establish a Federal independent dispute resolution (Federal IDR) process that nonparticipating providers or facilities and group health plans and health insurance issuers in the group and individual market may use following the end of an unsuccessful open negotiation period to determine the out-of-network rate for certain services. More specifically, the Federal IDR provisions may be used to determine the out-of-network rate for certain emergency services, nonemergency items and services furnished by nonparticipating providers at participating health care facilities, where an All-Payer Model Agreement or specified state law does not apply. Section 105 of the No Surprises Act created Code section 9817, ERISA section 717, and PHS Act section 2799A-2 which contain limitations on cost sharing and requirements for initial payments for air ambulance services, and allow plans and issuers and providers of air ambulance services to access the Federal IDR process. CAA provisions that apply to health care providers and facilities, and providers of air ambulance services, such as requirements around cost sharing, prohibitions on balance billing for certain items and services, and requirements related to disclosures about balance billing protections, were added to title XXVII of the PHS Act in a new part E.Emergency Justfication:The ROCIS system was only allowing us to submit this information collection as an emergency. This is not a emergency, but the rule was published on 6/04/2026. We are looking for a three-year approval.

Hazardous Materials Shipping Papers & Emergency Response Information

Key Information

Abstract

This is to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a revision of previously approved information collection titled, “Hazardous Materials Shipping Papers and Emergency Response Information,” under OMB Control No. 2137-0034. This information collection is currently due to expire on November 30, 2026. This OMB Control Number covers hazardous materials shipping papers and emergency response information, which in accordance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180), are required to accompany each shipment of hazardous materials in commerce. On April 10, 2024, PHMSA published the HM-215Q final rule titled “Hazardous Materials: Harmonization With International Standards” [89 FR 25434]. This final rule revises § 173.185(c)(4) to require that shippers and carriers of small lithium batteries not contained in equipment have shipping papers and perform Notice of Pilot in Command (NOPIC) checks when transported by air.

Approvals for Hazardous Materials

Key Information

Abstract

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has the primary responsibility for the issuance of Department of Transportation (DOT) Special Permits and Approvals under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171 180). An approval is a written authorization, including a competent authority approval, issued by the Associate Administrator, the Associate Administrator’s designee, or as otherwise prescribed in the HMR, to perform a function for which prior authorization by the Associate Administrator is required under subchapter C of this chapter (49 CFR parts 171-180). There are more than 100 approval provisions in the HMR and associated procedural regulations. Responses to this information collection are required to obtain benefits, including becoming an approval or certification agency, or obtaining a variance from packaging or handling requirements based on information provided by the respondent. These benefits and variances include, but are not limited to: United Nations (UN) third party certification; authorization to examine and test lighters; authorization to examine and test explosives; and authorization to re-qualify DOT cylinders. This information collection supports the Departmental Strategic Goal for Safety. Required collections are contained in Hazardous Materials Program Procedures, 49 CFR part 107 and parts 100-185. These regulations are promulgated in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 5110, the Federal hazardous materials transportation law. On February 10, 2026, PHMSA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) titled “Hazardous Materials: Harmonization With International Standards” [HM-215R, 91 FR 5996 ]. PHMSA is proposing a new requirement in § 173.169 to require a competent authority approval for the shipment of fire suppressant dispersing devices. These proposed requirements in § 173.169 address the classification, handling and transport of fire suppressant dispersing devices as a Class 9 material. Specifically, PHMSA proposes that these fire suppressant dispersing devices must be examined and successfully tested by a person or agency who is authorized by the Associate Administrator to perform examination and testing of explosives as explained in § 173.56(b)(1), followed by submittal to the Associate Administrator and issuance of an EX approval.

Northeast Region Hunter Participation Surveys

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has overall Federal responsibility for managing the Nation's fish and wildlife resources. Part of the Service’s mission is to provide the public with wildlife-based outdoor recreation opportunities on National Wildlife Refuges, National Fish Hatcheries, and other Service lands (collectively, refuges). These outdoor recreation opportunities include hunting, which is an important opportunity for people to connect with nature, harvest food, and assist the Service in managing wildlife populations. The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act, as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act (The Act; 16 U.S.C. 668dd et seq.) stipulates that refuges undergo a comprehensive conservation planning process that, among other things, must look at the compatibility of wildlife-dependent recreation (including hunting) on refuges. We will use the information from the proposed survey effort to inform planning on refuges as mandated by The Act.

Transportation of Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline: Recordkeeping and Accident Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

To ensure adequate public protection from exposure to potential hazardous liquid pipeline failures, PHMSA collects information on reportable hazardous liquid pipeline accidents. This mandatory information collection covers hazardous liquid pipeline accident report requirements in § 195.50 and general record keeping burden associated with complying with Federal hazardous liquid pipeline safety regulations in part 195. The definition of an “accident” and the reporting criteria for submitting a Hazardous Liquid Accident Report (form PHMSA F7000-1) is detailed in 49 CFR 195.54. 49 CFR 195.54 requires hazardous liquid operators to file an accident report, as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 days after discovery of the accident, on DOT Form 7000-1 whenever there is a reportable accident the characteristics of an operator’s pipeline system. 49 CFR 195.52 requires operators of hazardous liquid and carbon dioxide pipeline systems to make immediate telephonic or online notice to the National Response Center (NRC) in the event of a reportable accident. PHMSA proposes to revise this information collection to require breakout tank operators who elect to use risk-based inspection protocols to make and retain records documenting the risk assessment in accordance with the 5th edition of API Standard 653.

Generic Clearance National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications (NSEPC)

Key Information

Abstract

This information is an imperative requirement to address the multifaceted national emergency and critical infrastructure plans and interagency coordination to implement, support, protect, strengthen, and enhance emergency communications capabilities. Enabling and improving efforts to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, and timely manner is vital to the security of the nation to establish uniform policies, standards, and guidelines for integrating emergency communications across federal infrastructure protection and risk management within all 16 infrastructure sectors. It will allow for insight into customer and stakeholder perceptions, experiences, and expectations, and to focus attention on areas where emergency communications, public safety training, or changes or in operations might improve ECD initiatives. The collections from the NSEPC will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and stakeholders while simultaneously contributing directly to the improvement of program management. Improving agency programs requires the consistency of ongoing assessment of service delivery, meaning a systematic review of the operation of a program compared to a set of explicit or implicit standards, as a way of contributing to the continuous improvement of the program.

Monthly SSI Wage Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

SSA requires Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries or their representative payees to report changes when beneficiaries return to work, when their amount of work increases, or when their earnings increase. Similarly, SSA requires recipients of SSI, their deemors, and representative payees to report changes in work and monthly wages. SSA allows SSDI beneficiaries, SSI recipients, deemors, and representative payees to report earnings via electronic means, though the methods available depend on the type of benefits received. SSDI users may report wages using an internet reporting system called myWageReport. myWageReport is a secure internet reporting tool within the mySSA portal that enables SSDI beneficiaries to submit pay stub information to SSA. In addition to myWageReport, SSI users have two other electronic options, the SSA Mobile Wage Reporting application (SSAMWR) and the SSI Telephone Wage Reporting System (SSITWR). The SSITWR allows callers to report their wages by speaking their responses through voice recognition technology, or by keying in responses using a telephone key pad. The SSAMWR allows recipients to report their wages through the mobile wage reporting application on their smartphone. SSITWR and SSAMWR systems collect the same information and send it to SSA over secure channels. To ensure the security of the information provided, SSITWR and SSAMWR ask respondents to provide information SSA can compare against our records for authentication purposes. Once the system authenticates the identity of the respondents, they can report their wage data. The respondents are SSDI beneficiaries, SSI recipients, SSI deemors, or representative payees.

Southeast Region Logbook Family of Forms

Key Information

Abstract

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is seeking to revise and extend the information collections currently approved under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control No. 0648-0016 pursuant to proposed rule 0648-BN11. The proposed rule would require electronic logbook reporting for commercial fisheries currently reporting in the Gulf of America (Gulf) Reef Fish, South Atlantic Snapper-Grouper, King and Spanish Mackerel, Shark, Atlantic Dolphin and Wahoo logbook (coastal logbook). The proposed rule includes modifications to questions asked in the coastal logbook, including trip start date and time, trip end date and time, primary area fished, and trip type. These additional questions are necessary to prevent overlapping and duplicative trip submissions and to be compatible with the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics (ACCSP) database. The Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics program is an independent NOAA partner that gathers data on Atlantic fisheries (state and federal) to share with the scientific community. As a part of the larger Fisheries Information Network (FIN), ACCSP houses a data-gathering system called the Standard Atlantic Fisheries Information System (SAFIS) to promote state-federal collaboration and data dissemination. Some data fields would be removed, including state trip ticket number and payment of catch. The signature field in the paper form would be replaced with a perjury statement that the submitter (an owner or operator) acknowledges and affirms the accurate and truthful data entry before submission can occur. Other data fields that may be modified include “hours/days,” which would default to hours to be consistent with the ACCSP database. In addition, the “sales disposition” data field would default to “sold to dealer” to be consistent with the ACCSP database. The retained catch (landings) would require an entry into the catch disposition category, which would default to “general: food.” Those selected to submit information on discards would be required to declare the disposition of both retained catch and discards. NMFS does not expect the previously approved estimates of time burden for the coastal logbook information collection to change, due to the number of questions remaining relatively the same and the format of the application (dropdowns, toggles, calendars). NMFS will reevaluate the time burden for this collection once users become better acquainted with the electronic logbook applications. The proposed revision would not affect other information collections in 0648-0016 currently approved by OMB.

Inflation Reduction Act Wage Rates and Wage Determinations

Key Information

Abstract

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed H.R. 5376 (P.L. 117-169), a budget reconciliation measure commonly referred to as the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022” (IRA). IRA contains several sections that contain some provisions which extend or modify tax credit provisions associated with meeting prevailing wage requirements. The Department created this ICR in coordination with the U.S. Department of Treasury as they issued guidance triggering the availability of enhanced tax provisions for certain energy projects in which prevailing wages (as most recently determined by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act) are paid and registered apprentices are employed.
