Tobacco Retailer Training Programs

Key Information

Abstract

FDA intends to issue regulations establishing standards for approved tobacco retailer training programs. In the interim, FDA published a guidance document which is intended to assist tobacco retailers to voluntarily implement effective training programs for employees. Until FDA promulgates regulations, the agency intends to use the lower maximum civil money penalties schedule for all retailers who violate the restriction of the sale and distribution of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products, whether or not they have implemented a training program. FDA may consider further reducing the civil money penalty for retailers who have implemented a training program. Retailers who have received a Complaint for Civil Money Penalties or No-Tobacco Sale Order and who wish to submit evidence that they have a training program in place, for purposes of settlement negotiations only, may do so when filing an Answer to the Complaint.

The system is the e-Recognition system. In determining whether a specific agency should be recognized, the Secretary evaluates the submission for compliance with the criteria for Recognition contained in regulations. The collection of information is necessary for the Secretary to evaluate compliance with each of the criteria and to monitor the continued compliance with the criteria during any period of recognition granted. The authority for collecting this information is contained in the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended § 496 (HEA), and implementing regulations at 34 CFR § 602. The data is required in order for recognized accrediting agencies to demonstrate compliance with 34 CFR § 602. The Secretary will use these criteria in determining whether an accrediting agency is a reliable authority as to the quality of education or training provided by institutions of higher education they accredit. The data is required by State Agencies for the approval of Vocational Education to demonstrate compliance with 34 CFR § 603. The Secretary will use these criterial to determine whether a State Agency for the Approval of Vocational Education is a reliable authority as to the quality of education or training provided by the vocational institutions of higher education they accredit.

Collection of Diagnostic Data in the Abbreviated RAPS Format from Medicare Advantage Organizations for Risk Adjusted Payments (CMS-10062)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1853 of the Social Security Act, hereafter referred to as “the Act,” requires CMS to make advance monthly payments to a Medicare Advantage (MA) organization for each beneficiary enrolled in an MA plan offered by the organization for coverage of Medicare Part A and Part B benefits. Section 1853(a)(1)(C) of the Act requires CMS to adjust the monthly payment amount for each enrollee to take into account the health status of MA plan enrollees. CMS used RAPS data, in combination with encounter data and Fee-For-Service (FFS) data, to develop the diagnosis-based portion of the risk scores for risk adjusted payment to MA organizations, PACE organizations, and MMPs. Risk adjustment allows CMS to pay plans for the health risk of the beneficiaries they enroll, instead of paying an identical average amount for each enrollee. By risk adjusting plan payments, CMS is able to make appropriate and accurate payments for enrollees with differences in expected costs. Risk adjustment is used to adjust bidding and payment based on the health status and demographic characteristics of an enrollee. Risk scores measure individual beneficiaries’ relative risk and the risk scores are used to adjust payments for each beneficiary’s expected expenditures. By risk adjusting plan bids, CMS is able to also use standardized bids as base payments to plans.

Supporting Statement for Agent/Broker Consent Information Collection (CMS-10840)

Key Information

Abstract

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, enacted on March 23, 2010, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, Public Law 111-152, enacted on March 30, 2010 (collectively, “Affordable Care Act”), expanded access to health insurance for individuals and employees of small businesses through the establishment of new Affordable Insurance Exchanges (Exchanges), also called Marketplaces. The Exchanges, which became operational on January 1, 2014, enhance competition in the health insurance market, expand access to affordable health insurance for millions of Americans, and provide consumers with a place to easily compare and shop for health insurance coverage. Section 1312(e) of the Affordable Care Act directs the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish procedures under which a state may permit agents and brokers to enroll qualified individuals and employers into qualified health plans (QHPs) offered through an Exchange and to enable these agents and brokers to assist individuals in applying for advance payments of the premium tax credit and cost-sharing reductions. Authority for collection of this information comes from 45 C.F.R. §155.220(c)(5), which states that “HHS or its designee may periodically monitor and audit an agent, broker, or web-broker under this subpart to assess its compliance with the applicable requirements of this section.” This information collection specifically details what information will be required to be collected and maintained by agents, brokers, and web-brokers were they to receive a request from HHS for consent records. Currently, HHS only plans to collect information from a small percentage of agents, brokers, or web-brokers in conjunction with active investigations of potential fraud. Utilizing §155.220(c)(5) and the information to be collected under newly proposed §§ 155.220(j)(2)(ii)(A)(1-2) and 155.220(j)(2)(iii)(A-C), HHS will be able to verify whether or not an agent, broker, or web-broker has obtained consent from a consumer they are assisting in enrolling in coverage in the individual market, and whether the consumer has reviewed their eligibility information and confirmed its accuracy.

Pension Benefit Statement

Key Information

Abstract

Section 105(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) requires administrators of defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans to provide periodic pension benefit statements to participants and certain beneficiaries. If a defined contribution plan permits participants and beneficiaries to direct their own investments, benefit statements must be provided at least once each quarter. If the defined contribution plan does not permit participants and beneficiaries to direct their own investments, benefit statements must be provided at least once each year. In the case of defined benefit plans, benefit statements generally must be provided at least once every three years. Section 105(a)(2)(A)(i)(I) requires a benefit statement to indicate the participant's or beneficiary's “total benefits accrued.” On December 20, 2019, ERISA section 105 was amended by section 203 of the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 (SECURE Act). As amended, ERISA section 105 requires, in relevant part, that “a lifetime income disclosure . . . be included in only one pension benefit statement provided to participants of defined contribution plans during any one 12-month period.” A lifetime income disclosure “shall set forth the lifetime income stream equivalent of the total benefits accrued with respect to the participant or beneficiary.” A lifetime income stream equivalent means the amount of monthly payments the participant or beneficiary would receive if the total accrued benefits of such participant or beneficiary were used to provide a single life annuity and a qualified joint and survivor annuity.

Disability Report - Child

Key Information

Abstract

Sections 223(d)(5)(A) and 1631(e)(1) of the Act require Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claimants to furnish medical and other evidence to prove they are disabled. SSA uses Form SSA-3820-BK to collect information regarding a child applying for SSI disability payments. The information we collect on the SSA-3820-BK then provides the State Disability Determination Services (DDS) adjudicators a detailed explanation of a child’s medical history that is essential to the disability determination. SSA uses Form SSA-3820-BK to collect contact and biographic information about a child. It also includes details pertaining to the child’s condition including medical treating sources, medications being taken, medical tests, educational background, and work history if relevant. The State (DDS) evaluators use the information from Form SSA-3820-BK, including its electronic versions, to request and develop medical and school evidence, and to assess the alleged disability. The information collected on the form, together with medical evidence and other sources of non-medical evidence, provides the evidentiary basis upon which SSA makes its initial disability evaluation. The respondents are the responsible adult(s) applying on behalf of the child, such as the parents, guardians, and other caretakers who petition SSI childhood disability for initial and reconsideration decisions.

Pacific Cod Trawl Cooperative Program

Key Information

Abstract

This is a renewal and revision of a previously approved collection for the Pacific Cod Trawl Cooperative Program (PCTC Program). This collection contains ongoing information collection requirements submitted by participating harvesters and processors for the following forms: (1) Application for PCTC Program Cooperative Quota (CQ), (2) Application for Inter-Cooperative Transfer of CQ, (3) Application for Transfer of PCTC Program Quota Share (QS) for Processors, and (4) Notification of Intent to Process PCTC Program Pacific Cod. As part of this revision, NMFS is removing the following forms which are no longer needed: (1) Application for PCTC Program Quota Share (QS) and (2) Ninety-Day Transfer Window for Non-Exempt American Fisheries Act (AFA) License Limitation Program (LLP) holders. This revision also removes the formal appeal process for CQ allocations, as this was only used during implementation of the program. The PCTC Program is a limited access privilege program for the harvest of Pacific cod in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands trawl catcher vessel sector. This program is necessary to increase the value of fishery, minimize bycatch to the extent practicable, provide for the sustained participation of fishery-dependent communities, ensure the sustainability and viability of the resource, and promote safety and stability in the harvesting and processing sectors. This information collection contains the collection instruments necessary for NMFS to implement the PCTC Program and manage cooperative quota and quota share in this fishery.
