Study of Warning Devices for Stopped Commercial Motor Vehicles

Key Information

Abstract

FMCSA is seeking Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of a new information collection entitled “Study of Warning Devices for Stopped Commercial Motor Vehicles.” Participation in the study is voluntary, so in the event of participation, no small business will have an imposed burden that it is not willing to bear. Information collection activities are planned for an 18-month period. Parked or disabled commercial motor vehicles (PDCMVs) on the road negatively impact traffic operations and safety. FMCSA requires specific warning devices to be carried on all commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and, except in the case of necessary traffic stops, be deployed near the vehicle whenever it is stopped on the road or shoulder. Advances in automated driving system (ADS) technology have raised critical questions regarding potential barriers to regulatory compliance with warning device safety standards and regulations which reference a “driver.” Alternative types of warning devices developed by industry, including those intended to increase driver safety during device deployment, have resulted in multiple applications for exemption from the corresponding safety regulations. These recent issues related to warning device requirements also call attention to unresolved questions of how and to what extent the use of such devices improves traffic safety. Given the increasing focus on ADS, questions surrounding the safety of CMV drivers when deploying warning devices, and the availability of new technology and alternative devices, there is a need to thoroughly evaluate the use of warning devices under current regulations. FMCSA has established a contract with Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) to collect the information associated with this ICR. Under indirect oversight of an FMCSA Contracting Officer’s Representative, experienced VTTI research staff will perform all data collection activities described in this ICR. The findings will contribute to safety by ensuring that FMCSA’s decisions and regulations are data-driven and based on safety. FMCSA’s purpose for collecting this information is to develop an understanding of whether and to what extent the deployment of warning devices near a stopped commercial motor vehicle affects the driving behavior of passing motorists, and those elements of driving behavior which have the potential to influence the likelihood of a crash involving the stopped vehicle.

Alaska Community Quota Entity (CQE) Program

Key Information

Abstract

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, requests a revision and extension of this currently approved information collection, which incorporates minor updates for clarity and regulatory accuracy. These changes to the forms include updating the Public Reporting Burden Statement to include the form's specific purpose, and updating website links. Additionally, the “Application for Transfer of Quota Share to or from a Community Quota Entity” form was updated to include the correct the language from "The party to whom a CQE is seeking to transfer the IFQ must hold a Transfer Eligibility Certificate (TEC) unless they are a resident of the Aleutian Islands (Adak) for at least 12 months" to "The party to whom a CQE is seeking to transfer the IFQ must hold a Transfer Eligibility Certificate (TEC) unless they hold an Aleutian Islands (Adak) TEC." This change accurately reflects current regulations and requirements. No other changes were made to the collection other than adjustments to reflect the most current available data. This information collection is for applications, permits, and reports that are necessary for NMFS to manage the Community Quota Entity (CQE) Program. NMFS requires this information for fisheries management and to evaluate the ability of a specific CQE to represent an eligible community. Without this collection, the cost of making decisions based on inadequate information would adversely affect the viability of the CQE fishing industry and impact the economic health of the participating communities.

[Medicaid] Medicaid Program; Eligibility Changes under the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (CMS-10410)

Key Information

Abstract

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148, enacted on March 23, 2010) as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-152, enacted on March 30, 2010) are collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act expands access to insurance affordability programs through improvements in Medicaid eligibility, enrollment simplification, the establishment of Affordable Insurance Exchanges ("Exchanges"), and coordination between Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Exchanges. Relevant to this Statement, the Affordable Care Act promotes a high level of coordination, simplification, and data sharing among State and Federal agencies for the purpose of a seamless and streamlined eligibility system. The Affordable Care Act allows for significant use of Web-based technology to provide information to the public and facilitate application and renewal functions. It creates a "no wrong door" approach to insurance affordability programs so that individuals will not have to apply to multiple programs. Nor will they have to repeat the application process if they initially apply to a program for which they are not ultimately determined eligible. It also provides a simplified process for maintaining coverage through a streamlined renewal process. The provisions of the Affordable Care Act relevant to this Statement are effective January 1, 2014. The proposed requirements for the collection and reporting of information and recordkeeping (collectively known as information collections) generally relate to ensuring data sharing and coordination among State and Federal agencies, recordkeeping efforts among State agencies, and the development of Web-based systems and notices in support of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Recording of Aircraft Conveyances and Security Documents

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is mandatory for any person or entity releasing a security conveyance. When an aircraft owner satisfies their debt, 14 CFR Part 49.17, “Conveyances recorded”, mandates that the security holder report the satisfaction of the security conveyance to the FAA Civil Aviation Registry (Aircraft Registry). When the Aircraft Registry records a security conveyance, an AC Form 8050-41 Notice of Recordation, is prepared by an Examiner to display the collateral, parties, and recording information. The form is mailed to the security holder. When the debt is satisfied the security holder completes Part II, Release, at the bottom of the AC Form 8050-41; a security holder signature and date is required to signify release of the debt. The security holder mails the form to the Aircraft Registry so that the interest in the aircraft shows to be released. The security holder may submit the same information without using the form, if desired. This form is not available for download since an FAA Examiner has to fill in the information.

Requirement for Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances (EPCS) for a Covered Part D Drug Under a Prescription Drug Plan or an MA–PD Plan (CMS-10834)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 2003 of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act of 2018 requires that prescribing of a Schedule II, III, IV, or V controlled substance under Medicare Part D be done electronically in accordance with an electronic prescription drug program beginning January 1, 2021, subject to any exceptions, which HHS may specify. In the calendar year (CY) 2021 and 2022 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) final rules, CMS finalized the electronic prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS) requirements and exceptions at 42 CFR 423.160(a)(5). Compliance for prescribers not in long-term care facilities begins in CY 2023. Compliance for prescribers in long-term care facilities begins in CY 2025. EPCS requirements do not require prescribers or pharmacies to submit additional data to CMS; however, CMS did finalize one exception that requires data collection. The EPCS exception, at § 423.160(a)(5)(iv), requires a prescriber to apply for a waiver if the prescriber is unable to conduct EPCS due to circumstances beyond the prescriber's control. This document covers the burden associated for the request for the waiver exclusion at § 423.160(a)(5)(iv).
