Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval from OMB of this information collection request (ICR) for an extension with modification of its currently approved information collection for the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) information collection. NHTSA is seeking approval to modify the collection to include the collection of the portion of NHTSA’s Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS) data that is submitted through the FARS data collection effort. NHTSA is authorized by 49 U.S.C. 30182 and 23 U.S.C. 402, 403 & 405 to collect data on motor vehicle traffic crashes to aid in the identification of issues and the development, implementation, and evaluation of motor vehicle and highway safety countermeasures to support efforts to reduce injuries and fatalities caused by motor vehicle crashes. The FARS is a voluntary information collection of fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes. The FARS data collection started in 1975 and is a census of all defined crashes involving fatalities in the country. The FARS collects annual data from all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico under cooperative agreements. State employees collect and process information from existing State files including police crash reports as well as driver license, vehicle registration, highway department files, and vital statistics files. NHTSA aggregates the data for research and analysis in support of motor vehicle regulations and highway safety programs. This supports NHTSA’s mission by providing the agency vital information about fatal crashes. The aggregated data comprises a national database that tracks trends in fatalities and quantifying problems in highway safety. The FARS data are used extensively by NHTSA, other DOT modes, States, and local jurisdictions and the highway research community. Congress uses the FARS data for making decisions concerning safety programs. The FARS data are publicly available. The Non-Traffic Surveillance (NTS) is an automated data collection effort for collecting information about non-traffic crashes and non-crash incidents. The NTS data provide counts and details regarding fatalities and injuries that occur in non-traffic crashes and in non-crash incidents. The NTS non-traffic crash data are obtained through NHTSA’s data collection efforts for the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS), the Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), and FARS. NTS also includes data outside of NHTSA’s own data collections. NTS’ non-crash injury data are based upon emergency department records from a special study conducted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) All Injury Program. NTS non-crash fatality data are derived from death certificate information from the Centers for Disease Control’s National Vital Statistics System. This ICR only seeks approval for the collection of NTS data for NTS that comes from the FARS data collection effort. The annual burden has been adjusted from 107,209 to 118,762 hours (an increase of 11,553 hours), while the costs are maintained at $0. The adjustment in burden hours is due to the increase in the complexity of coding the FARS cases and an increase in the number of fatal crashes across most States. The increase also accounts for the time to process the non-traffic fatalities for NTS. Furthermore, while time for manually inputting data has decreased with States implementing systems to electronically transfer police report data that prepopulate NHTSA’s data systems, including FARS, the overall burden increased because, over the past two years, there has been an increase in staff turnover at the State level, adding an increase in administrative hours, training, and coding assistance to continue operations.

Disability Update Report

Key Information

Abstract

Periodically SSA uses Form SSA-455, the Disability Report Update, to evaluate current Title II disability beneficiaries and Title XVI disability payment recipients' continued eligibility for Social Security disability payments. Specifically, SSA uses the form to determine if: (1) there is enough evidence to warrant referring the respondent for a full medical Continuing Disability Review (CDR); (2) the respondent's impairment(s) is still present and is indicative of no medical improvement, precluding the need for a CDR; or (3) there are unresolved work-related issues for the respondent. SSA mails Form SSA-455 to specific disability recipients, whom we select as possibly qualifying for the continuing disability review process. SSA pre-fills the form with data specific to the disability recipient, except for the sections we ask the beneficiary to complete. When SSA receives the completed form, we optically scan it into SSA's system. This allows us to gather the information electronically to enable SSA to process the returned forms through automated decision logic to decide the proper course of action we will take. The respondents are recipients of Title II and Title XVI Social Security disability payments. We are making minor revisions to the paper versions of the form to remove the signature requirement and to replace the SSN# with the Beneficiary Notice Control number.

Key Information

Abstract

This is a reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection for which approval has expired. This collection expired on January 31, 2026. This information collection is required to administer and operate this program in accordance with the Child Nutrition Act. The program is administered at the State agency level. Reports submitted and records maintained include agreements, financial reports, and the maintenance of accounting records for State Administrative Funds (SAE). The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) administers the Child Nutrition Programs (CNP). FNS originally expected to submit this collection for review before it expired. As such, FNS expected to make two changes to the collection. One was to reduce the number of respondents for the reporting requirement at 235.7(b). The other change adjusts the frequency of the responses for the recordkeeping requirement at 235.7(a). FNS estimated that these changes would reduce the responses and burden hours for this collection.

[NCEH] Enhancing Data-driven Disease Detection in Newborns (ED3N)

Key Information

Abstract

CDC's Newborn Screening and Molecular Biology Branch (NSMBB) is developing a National Newborn Screening Data Platform (known as ED3N) that will address analytic and post-analytic challenges and promote sharing of molecular, biochemical, and clinical information amongst state-based newborn screening (NBS) partners. The information shared will help NSMBB and newborn screening partners be better equipped to assess disease risk and will help harmonize approaches for disease detection in newborns. Given the rarity of newborn screening diseases, it is imperative that data be collected and analyzed at a national level in order to glean useful insights and trend analyses. The NSMBB is best-suited to oversee this work given its role in providing technical assistance to NBS programs nationally. This is an Extension of the previous submission.

Complaints Submission Process under the No Surprises Act (CMS-10779)

Key Information

Abstract

Enacted on December 27, 2020, the No Surprises Act, which was enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code). The No Surprise Act implements provisions that protect individuals from surprise medical bills for emergency services, air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers, and non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at participating facilities in certain circumstances. Additionally, the No Surprises Act sets forth a complaints processes with respect to potential violations of balance billing requirements set forth in the No Surprises Act. The No Surprises Act provides federal protections against surprise billing and limits out-of-network cost sharing under many of the circumstances in which surprise medical bills arise most frequently. The 2021 interim final regulations “Requirements Related to Surprise Billing; Part I” (86 FR 36872, 2021 interim final regulations) issued by the Departments of Health and Humans Services (HHS), Department of Labor (DOL), the Department of Treasury (collectively, the Departments), implement provisions of the No Surprises Act that apply to group health plans, health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage that provide protections against balance billing and out-of-network cost sharing with respect to emergency services, non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at certain participating health care facilities, and air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers of air ambulance services. The No Surprises Act and the 2021 interim final regulations directs the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Department of Treasury (collectively, “the Departments”) to establish a process to receive complaints regarding violations of the application of qualifying payment amount (QPA) requirements by group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group or individual health coverage. The No Surprises Act also directs HHS to establish a process to receive consumer complaints regarding violations by health care providers, facilities, and providers of air ambulance services regarding balance billing requirements and to respond to such complaints within 60 days.

Essential Community Provider-Network Adequacy (ECP/NA) Data Collection to Support QHP Certification (CMS-10803)

Key Information

Abstract

In accordance with section 1311(c)(1)(C) of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Qualified Health Plan (QHP) issuers, including Stand-alone Dental Plan (SADP) issuers, are required to ensure access to a sufficient number and geographic distribution of essential community providers (ECPs), where available, that serve predominantly low-income, medically-underserved individuals. Under 45 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 156.235, the Secretary of HHS has established criteria for inclusion of a sufficient number and geographic distribution of ECPs, where available, in an issuer’s network to ensure reasonable and timely access to a broad range of such providers for low-income, medically underserved individuals in their service areas. To satisfy this ECP requirement, medical QHP and SADP issuers must submit an Essential Community Provider/Network Adequacy (ECP/NA) template as part of their QHP application, in which they must list the ECPs with whom they have contracted. In the Issuer Module, issuers will also have to attest to meeting each element of the ECP standard. In accordance with section 1311(c)(1)(B) of the ACA, QHP issuers, including SADP issuers, are required to ensure a sufficient choice of providers (in a manner consistent with the applicable provisions under section 2702(c) of the Public Health Service Act). Under CFR 156.230, QHPs that use a provider network must ensure that the network is sufficient in number and types of providers, including providers that specialize in mental health and substance use disorder services, to assure that all services will be accessible without unreasonable delay. This information collection request (ICR) serves as a formal request for a new clearance associated with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2023 Proposed Rule (2023 Payment Notice). This ICR details the burden associated with collecting and reviewing essential community provider and network adequacy data.

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 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.

Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR)

Key Information

Abstract

Agencies are able to utilize this uniform format for reporting performance progress on Federally funded research projects. The Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) directly benefits award recipients by making it easier for them to administer Federal grant and cooperative agreement programs through standardization of the types of information required in interim performance reports, thereby reducing their administrative effort and costs. The RPPR also makes it easier to compare the outputs, outcomes, etc. of research programs across the government.
