Regional Economic Development Data Collection Instrument

Key Information

Abstract

The reason for revision request is the current survey requests information regarding current and past activities over the past year. This information was important to capture as a starting point before program implementation. Respondents will now begin program implementation, and it is important to request information on activities on a more regular basis, therefore, the survey requests information on a semi-annual basis. EDA is also requesting the survey be conducted for 10 years. The reasoning for this long duration is the program goal is to support the development of globally competitive Tech Hubs within ten years. This duration is necessary to allow for time for the positive impacts of the funding and activities to be fully realized. To effectively administer and monitor its economic development assistance programs, EDA collects certain information from applications for, and recipients of, EDA investment assistance. Under the EDA Regional Technology and Innovation Hub Program, award recipients are required to submit identified program metrics and information to ensure that EDA regional development investments are evidence-based and data-driven, and accountable to participants and the public. EDA will require information from the 31 Designated Tech Hubs recipients also known as the consortia leads. This collection instrument will provide more granular information on the current status of Tech Hub programs and activities. Tech Hubs Designees will submit data one time to determine a baseline status. Furthermore, the data collected, and the tools created will help inform economic development practices at EDA, paving the way for future programming.

Minimum Data Set 3.0 Nursing Home and Swing Bed Prospective Payment System (PPS) for the Collection of Data Related to the Patient Driven Payment Model and the Skilled Nursing Facility QRP (CMS-10387)

Key Information

Abstract

The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is a uniform instrument used in every Medicare/Medicaid certified nursing home in the United States to assess resident condition. It was developed in response to the Landmark Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report on Nursing Home Quality in 1987 where the MDS was seen as a critical component in efforts to improve the quality of care in nursing homes. The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA 1987) also set forth new provisions for Medicare and Medicaid related to new standards for care in the nursing home setting. From its inception, the MDS was intended to serve several purposes: (1) Collect data to inform care plans (2) To generate quality indicators to evaluate nursing homes and guide improvement interventions (3) To serve as a data source for nursing home payment systems. Pursuant to sections 4204(b) and 4214(d) of OBRA 1987, the current requirements related to the submission and retention of resident assessment data are not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), but it has been determined that requirements for SNF staff performing, encoding and patient assessment data necessary administer the payment rate methodology described in 413.337, are subject to the PRA. The SNF QRP was established in CMS-1622-F (August 4, 2015; 80 FR 46390) and began collecting data from SNFs in fiscal year (FY) 2016 using the MDS. As described in section 1899B (b)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act (the Act), SNFs are required to submit standardized patient assessment data with respect to the following categories: • Functional Status • Cognitive Function • Special Services, Treatments, and Interventions • Medical Conditions and Comorbidities • Impairments • Other categories deemed necessary and appropriate by the Secretary Both the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) in the SNF PPS and the SNF QRP collect data through the MDS 3.0. The PDPM was described and adopted for SNFs and Swing Beds in CMS-1696-F (August 8, 2018; 83 FR 39162). This package is a request for a revision to the current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment instrument for the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF). This package represents a request from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to implement the MDS 3.0 v1.18.11 beginning October 1, 2023 to October 1, 2026 in order to meet the requirements of policies finalized in the Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Prospective Payment System (PPS) final rule (CMS-1718-F, RIN 0938-AT75). A PRA package was submitted at the time of the finalized policies and approved on 11/22/2019, but the compliance date for the finalized policies (10/01/2020) was delayed due to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). Please note, however, the burden was never retracted, and the implementation of the instrument was simply delayed. While there has been no change in assessment-level burden since the approval of the MDS 3.0 v1.17.2, there has been a change in total burden since 2019 when the package was originally approved due to a decrease in the number of MDS assessments completed and a change in the hourly rate for clinicians completing the assessment.

Native Employment Works (NEW) Program Plan Guidance and Program Report

Key Information

Abstract

Section 412(a)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 612(a)(2)), as amended by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 and the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, created a new tribal work activities program – the Native Employment Works (NEW) program. The NEW program began July 1, 1997. The NEW program plan guidance for Tribes that do not include their NEW programs in Public Law 102-477 projects, and the NEW program report document contain requirements for information needed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to evaluate and approve plans for funding and to monitor and measure program performance. Eligible Indian tribes and Alaska Native entities must submit program plans (generally once every three years) in order to receive NEW program grants. The plan describes how the grantee will administer and operate its NEW program. NEW grantees must submit program reports annually, providing information on activities and services provided, characteristics of NEW program clients, and program outcomes achieved. The NEW program final regulations (45 CFR Part 287- Attachment A) contain requirements for program plans and program reports. In these regulations, sections 287.70 through 287.110 apply to NEW plans, and sections 287.150 through 287.170 apply to NEW reports. These requirements are reflected in the program plan guidance documents and program report document. The version of these documents for which we now seek approval replaces previous versions. There are minor changes in both documents: (1) the Annual report includes some clarifications on instructions; (2) the Program Plan Guidance includes a change in the directions for submitting a NEW Plan.

Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 1988-59, Residential Mortgage Financing Arrangements Involving Employee Benefit Plans

Key Information

Abstract

Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (PTE) 88-59, which amended and replaced PTE 82-87, allows employee benefit plans to participate in several different types of residential mortgage financing transactions, provided certain conditions are met. The five categories of transactions permitted under the exemption are: (1) issuance of commitments for the provision of mortgage financing to purchasers of residential dwelling units; (2) receipt by a plan of a fee for the issuance of the commitments; (3) the actual making or purchase of a mortgage loan or participation interest therein pursuant to the commitment; (4) the direct making or purchase of an mortgage loan or participation interest therein without the precondition of a commitment; and (5) the sale, exchange or transfer of a mortgage loan or participation interest therein prior to the maturity date of the instrument, provided that the ownership interest sold, exchanged, or transferred represents the plan's entire interest in such investment. Among other conditions, the exemption requires a plan to maintain for the duration of any loan made pursuant to this exemption all records necessary to determine whether conditions of the exemption have been met and to make such records available for examination on request by any trustee, investment manager, participant or beneficiary of the plan, or agents of the Department or the IRS.

National Implementation of In-Center Hemodialysis CAHPS Survey (CMS-10105)

Key Information

Abstract

Administration of In-center Hemodialysis CAHPS(ICH CAHPS) survey by more than 5,700 Medicare-certified ESRD facilities is required as part of the value-based purchasing program for payments under the Medicare program, as described in the 2016 proposed and final ESRD Prospective System Payment Update Rules published in the Federal Register on July 1, 2015, and November 6, 2015, respectively. Value-based purchasing promotes CMS’ goals: better healthcare for individuals; better care for populations and communities; and, lower costs through improvement. Beginning in CY2014, ICH facilities are required to contract with a CMS-approved survey vendor to implement the survey; the CMS-approved vendor shall follow a set of standardized survey administration procedures developed for the national implementation.

Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 Investment Manager Electronic Registration

Key Information

Abstract

Section 203A(a) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (and the implementing SEC regulations) provides thresholds for when investment advisers must register with the SEC or with one or more states To qualify as investment manager under ERISA, investment advisers that register with a state, rather than with the SEC, must satisfy ERISA's section 3(38) requirement to file a copy of the State registration with the Department by electronically registering through the Investment Adviser Registration Depository (IARD). This is a centralized electronic filing system operated by the SEC in conjunction with State securities regulation authorities. Because the IARD was established by the SEC and the states, and made mandatory for advisers required to file with SEC, and because all States permit filing through IARD even for advisers who do not file with SEC, the Department determined that use of the IARD would eliminate the duplication of filing paper copies of State registration forms with the Department and facilitate creation of a uniform and efficient “one-stop” filing system for state-registered filings by advisers who wished to meet the “investment manager” definition of ERISA section 3(38).

Streamlined Clearance Process for Discretionary Grants

Key Information

Abstract

Section 3505(a)(2) of the PRA of 1995 provides the OMB Director authority to approve the streamlined clearance process proposed in this information collection request. This information collection request was originally approved by OMB in January of 1997. This information collection streamlines the clearance process for all discretionary grant information collections which do not fit the generic application process. The streamlined clearance process continues to reduce the clearance time for the U.S. Department of Education's (ED's) discretionary grant information collections by two months or 60 days. This is desirable for two major reasons: it would allow ED to provide better customer service to grant applicants and help meet ED's goal for timely awards of discretionary grants. §3474.20(d) adds the requirement for grantees to develop a dissemination plan for copyrighted work under open licensing. Information contained in the narrative of an application will be captured in the Evidence of Effectiveness Form.

Modifications (Multiple Award Schedules): GSAR Part Affected: 552.238-82

Key Information

Abstract

The information being collected is required by General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) clause 552.238-82, Modifications (Federal Supply Schedule). The clause requires contractors who have a MAS contract to request a contract modification by submitting information to the contracting officer. At a minimum, each contract modification request covered by this clause is to include an explanation for the request and supporting information. The clause has an Alternate I and Alternate II as well. The basic clause applies to MAS contracts that are not subject to transactional data reporting and covers the following types of requests for contract modification: additional items/additional SINs, deletions, and price reductions. Alternate I is pretty much the same as the basic clause with exception to paragraph (e) being revised to reflect a MAS contractor accepting eMod. Alternate II applies to MAS contracts subject to transactional data reporting and covers the following types of requests for contract modification: additional items/additional SINs and deletions.

Rule 12d3-1, Exemption of acquisitions of securities issued by persons engaged in securities related businesses

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 12d3-1 (17 CFR 270.12d3-1) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) creates exemptions that allow registered investment companies ("funds") to acquire securities issued by persons engaged in securities-related businesses, which would otherwise be prohibited under Section 12(d)(3) of the Act. The rule permits funds to invest in companies that derive 15 percent or less of their gross revenues from securities activities without ownership limits, and allows investments in companies deriving more than 15 percent from securities activities subject to specific ownership caps (no more than 5 percent of any equity class, 10 percent of debt securities, and 5 percent of the fund's total assets in any single issuer), while prohibiting investments in securities issued by the fund's promoters, underwriters, investment advisers, or their affiliates, except for subadviser securities under strict conditions requiring advisory contract provisions that prevent consultation between subadvisers and limit their advisory responsibilities to discrete portfolio portions. The SEC needs this information to monitor compliance with these investment restrictions and ensure proper fund governance, using the collected data for regulatory oversight, examination, and enforcement purposes. This regulation primarily imposes recordkeeping requirements and internal governance obligations on investment companies, with information maintained for internal compliance purposes and made available to the SEC during examinations, while fund shareholders and the public benefit from the enhanced investor protections these restrictions provide.

Vehicle Information for the General Public

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) seeks the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) approval on the reinstatement of a currently approved information collection (OMB Control Number: 2127-0629) to obtain vehicle information for the general public in support of the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The information collection requests responses from major motor vehicle manufacturers about the crashworthiness, crash avoidance, and other capabilities of their vehicle models. The collection is voluntary and conducted annually. The information is primarily used to provide information to consumers. It is also used to address consumer inquiries as well as for internal agency analyses. This reinstatement of a currently approved information collection request includes the statutory addition of information about advanced crash avoidance technologies and vulnerable road user safety and the corresponding increase associated with the total annual burden hours. This reinstatement increases the total annual burden hours by 7,005 hours from when this Information Collection Request was last approved (from 1,995 hours to 9,000 hours).

Swap Data Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements: Pre-Enactment and Transition Swaps

Key Information

Abstract

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) went into effect. Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act amended the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) to create a regulatory framework for swaps. Section 723 of Title VII amended Section 2 of the CEA to provide that rules adopted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“Commission” or “CFTC”) to implement Section 2 shall provide for the reporting of data relating to both: (i) swaps entered into before the date of enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, the terms of which have not expired as of the date of enactment of that Act (“pre-enactment swaps”) and (ii) swaps entered into on or after the date of enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act and prior to the compliance date specified in Commission swap data reporting rules implementing Section 2(h)(5)(B) (“transition swaps”). On June 12, 2012, the Commission adopted regulation 46, which imposes recordkeeping and reporting requirements relating to pre-enactment and transition swaps (collectively, “historical swaps”). This renewal concerns the existing collections of information required by 17 CFR Part 46. CFTC regulation 46 imposes recordkeeping and reporting requirements, relating to historical swaps, on the following entities: swap dealers (“SDs”), major swap participants (“MSPs”), and counterparties to swaps who are neither SDs nor MSPs (“non-SD/MSP counterparties”). Section 46.2 requires affected entities to keep certain records relating to historical swaps; Section 46.3 requires affected entities to make an initial data report regarding historical swaps to a swap data repository (“SDR”) and make on-going reports to a SDR for certain historical swaps throughout the existence of the swaps; Section 46.11 requires affected entities to report errors and omissions in data previously reported regarding historical swaps to a SDR.

Real-Time Public Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

The CFTC requests approval of the proposed revision of this ICR to add a new information collection instrument (Swap Data Error Correction Form) that implements the requirements of 17 CFR 43.3 (Method and timing for real-time public reporting). The Swap Data Error Correction Form specifies the format and manner in which respondents should submit the reports required under 17 CFR 43.3. Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) added to the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) new section 2(a)(13), which establishes standards and requirements related to real-time reporting and the public availability of swap transaction and pricing data. Section 2(a)(13) and part 43 of the Commission’s Regulations require reporting parties to publish real-time swap transactions and pricing data to the general public. Without the frequency of reporting set forth in part 43, the Commission would not be able to adequately assess the swap markets and, more importantly, would fail to achieve the frequency of reporting and promotion of increased price discovery in the swaps market which are mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act. The Commission’s regulations in part 43 require SEFs, DCMs, and reporting counterparties to report swap transaction and pricing data to SDRs and require SDRs to disseminate the swap transaction and pricing data to the public. The SDRs do not provide this data to the Commission directly. The Commission may, however, use the swap transaction and pricing data in connection with fulfilling any of its regulatory duties or for other purposes. This publicly-reported data is also available to all other regulators and to the public and they may use it for any purpose as they see fit. The swap transaction and pricing data is made public in order to increase the transparency of the swaps market for regulators and market participants.
