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.

Request for Correction of Earnings Record

Key Information

Abstract

Individuals alleging that SSA’s files contain inaccurate earnings records for them use paper Form SSA-7008, or a personal interview with SSA employees during which SSA employees key their answers into our electronic Earnings Modernization Item Correction system, to address the situation. Using these modalities the individuals whose records are in question provide the information SSA needs to check earnings posted, and as necessary, initiate development to resolve any inaccuracies. The respondents are individuals who request correction of earnings posted to their Social Security earnings records.

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.

Regional Coastal Observing Systems (RCOS)

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for reinstatement of a previously approved information collection. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Ocean Service (NOS) Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) is a national-regional partnership working to provide new tools and forecasts to improve safety, enhance the economy, and protect our environment. The Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation System Act of 2009 (ICOOS Act), as amended, directs NOAA, as the lead Federal agency for implementing and administering the National Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observation System (System), to “promulgate program guidelines to certify and integrate non-federal assets, including regional information coordination entities, into the System.” In response to the ICOOS Act mandate, NOAA developed program guidelines for the compliance procedures and requirements for certifying Regional Information Coordination Entities (RICEs), now known as Regional Coastal Observing Systems (RCOS), in a final rule RIN 0648-BC18. The program guidelines identify the process and requirements for certifying these RCOSs. Submission of an application for certification as a RCOS is voluntary, and there is no deadline for an entity to submit an application to be certified. The organization's application is used to collect information required by IOOS's regulations in order for IOOS to certify the organization as an RCOS and integrate it into the System. RCOSs operate regional observing networks throughout the United States, including the Pacific Islands and the Caribbean, and have implemented specific practices in regards to data collection, governance, and management. They must submit rigorous documentation of these practices to the IOOS offices for review and verification. This vetting process is thorough and requires a collaborative relationship between the organization and the IOOS Program staff. Once documentation is vetted and the organization is recognized as meeting NOAA standards, a Memorandum of Agreement is created, confirming the organization’s elevation to RCOS and certifying that their data can be used with the same quality assurance as federal data.

Hunting and Fishing Application Forms and Activity Reports for National Wildlife Refuges and National Fish Hatcheries (50 CFR parts 32 and 71)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 668dd-668ee), as amended (Administration Act), and the Refuge Recreation Act of 1962 (16 U.S.C. 460k-460k-4) (Recreation Act) govern the administration and public uses of national wildlife refuges and wetland management districts. The Administration Act closes NWRs in all States except Alaska to all uses until opened. The Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) may open refuge areas to any use, including hunting and/or sport fishing, upon a determination that the use is compatible with the purposes of the refuge and National Wildlife Refuge System mission. We collect information on hunters and anglers and their success in order to administer and evaluate hunting and fishing programs. Because of high demand and limited resources, we often provide hunt opportunities by lottery, based on dates, locations, or type of hunt. We collect information on the prospective hunter, on the preferred dates and locations, and on the type of hunt. We also require labeling of hunting/fishing equipment, require certain notifications be made to refuge staff, and collect information at the end of hunting and/or fishing experiences to help determine resource impacts and quality of experience.

Government to Government Services Online Website Registration, Government to Government Services Online Website Account Modification/Deletion Form

Key Information

Abstract

The Government-to-Government Services Online (GSO) web site allows various external organizations to submit files to a variety of SSA systems and, in some cases, receive files in return. The SSA systems that process data transferred via Government-to-Government services include, but are not limited to, systems responsible for disability processing and benefit determination or termination. SSA uses the information from Form SSA-159 (Government-to-Government Services Online Website Registration Form) to register the requestor to use the GSO website. SSA then creates a user’s account based on this information. SSA provides the user with account information and conducts a walkthrough of the Government-to-Government Services website as necessary. Established organizations submit Form SSA-159 to register additional users as well. The requesting organization can also modify its online account (e.g., address change) by completing an online Form SSA-160 (Government-to-Government Service Online Website Account Modification/Deletion Form). Respondents are State and local government agencies and some private sector business entities.

Request to Show Cause for Failure to Appear

Key Information

Abstract

When claimants who request a hearing before a judge fail to appear at their scheduled hearing, the judge may reschedule the hearing if the claimants establish good cause for missing the hearing. To establish good cause, following: (1) SSA did not properly notify the claimant of the hearing, or (2) an unexpected event occurred without sufficient time for the claimant to request a postponement. The claimants can use paper Form HA-L90 or HA-L90-OP1 to provide their reason for not appearing at their scheduled hearings; or the claimants’ representatives can use Electronic Records Express (ERE), OMB Control No. 0960-0753, to submit the forms online. SSA uses the HA-L90 for new cases, and the HA-L90-OP1 for redeterminations cases. We need two versions of the paper form, as the judge follows different procedures when determining the good cause on redetermination cases (cases that have a prior decision and evidence on file), than they do for new cases (where we have no evidence on file). If the judge determines the claimants established good cause for failure to appear at the hearing, the judge will schedule a supplemental hearing; if not, the judge will make a claims eligibility determination based on the claimants’ evidence of record. Respondents are claimants, or their representatives, seeking to establish good cause for failure to appear at a scheduled hearing before a judge.

Implementation of Medicare Programs; - Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program (CMS-10552)

Key Information

Abstract

Abstract (2000 characters maximum) The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5) was enacted on February 17, 2009, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure and improve affordable health care. Expanded use of health information technology (HIT) and certified electronic health record (EHR) technology will improve the quality and value of America's health care. Title IV of Division B of the Recovery Act amends Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act (the Act) by establishing incentive payments to eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs), and Medicare Advantage organizations participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs that adopt and successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology (CEHRT). These Recovery Act provisions, together with Title XIII of Division A of the Recovery Act, may be cited as the “Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act” or the “HITECH Act”. In 2019, the EHR Incentives Program for eligible hospitals and CAHs was subsequently renamed the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program. We are collecting information from participants in this program on objectives and measures focused on the meaningful use of CEHRT in order to incentivize the advanced use of CEHRT to support health information exchange, interoperability, advanced quality measurement, and maximizing clinical effectiveness and efficiency. In the FY 2027 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we proposed to remove two attestations which would impact information collection burden: (1) the ONC Direct Review Attestation beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026, and (2) the optional ONC-ACB Surveillance Attestation beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026. We also proposed to adopt the Unique Device Identifiers for Implantable Medical Devices measure beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2027. Lastly, we proposed to update the Electronic Prior Authorization measure to make the measure optional for the EHR reporting period in CY 2027 and required beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2028.

Experimental Aircraft: Letters of Deviation Authority (LODA)

Key Information

Abstract

In 2004, the FAA established a Letter of Deviation Authority (LODA) process for operators who advertise or “hold out” their experimental aircraft for use in training, testing or checking in exchange for compensation. See 69 Fed. Reg. 44771 (July 27, 2004). To obtain a LODA, the operator must submit an application to the FAA that includes airworthiness and maintenance records, and an aircraft-specific training outline at least 60 days in advance of the first training operation. The FAA uses this collection of information to ensure that operators of an aircraft with an experimental airworthiness certificate who broadly offer their aircraft for training, testing or checking follow appropriate safety precautions. Application is made to the FAA electronically by email, fax, in-person delivery, or mail, to the responsible FAA Flight Standards District Office. This requirement applies to the registered aircraft owner seeking to conduct operations through deviation authority, or their agent. Importantly, the LODA requirement in this information collection does not apply to owners (and those affiliated with owners) of experimental aircraft who receive training, testing or checking in their own aircraft. On July 12, 2021, in response to a court ruling, the FAA issued a “Notification of Policy for Flight Training in Certain Aircraft” in the Federal Register (86 FR 36493) that established a shortened, email LODA requirement for owners of experimental aircraft who receive training, testing or checking in their own aircraft. However, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2023 eliminated this requirement. The FAA no longer requires owners of experimental aircraft to apply for a LODA to receive training, testing or checking in their own aircraft.

Request for Evidence from Doctor or Hospital

Key Information

Abstract

Sections 223(d)(5) and 1614(a)(3)(H)(i) of the Social Security Act require claimants to furnish medical evidence of their disability when filing a disability claim. SSA uses Forms HA-66 and HA-67 to obtain medical evidence from medical sources identified by the claimants as having information relative to their impairments or ability to do work-related activities. In addition to accepting manual paper responses, SSA sends a barcode with the HA-66 and HA-67 allowing respondents to fax the information directly into the electronic claims folder rather than submitting it manually. SSA uses the information to determine eligibility for benefits. The respondents are medical sources, doctors, and hospitals that evaluate the claimants.

Readjustment Counseling Services Eligibility Determinations

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 1712A, VA is required to provide readjustment counseling, through Vet Centers, to certain individuals. The criteria for eligibility is further set forth in 38 U.S.C. 1712A(a)(1)(C). The eligibility criteria in 38 U.S.C. 1712A(a)(1)(C) dictates the type of documentation that must be presented by an individual in order to establish eligibility for readjustment counseling. In order for VA to determine whether individuals seeking readjustment counseling are eligible for such services, individuals must provide VA with certain documentation. In many cases, eligibility determinations may be based upon existing information in VA databases – and the individual does not need to provide any additional documentation to VA. In other cases, the Vet Center staff must collect documentation from individuals who are seeking readjustment counseling during the intake process. Vet Center staff reviews the provided documentation to determine whether the individual is eligible for readjustment counseling services pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 1712A(a)(1)(C).

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.

2027-2028 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 483, of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), mandates that the Secretary of Education “…shall produce, distribute, and process free of charge common financial reporting forms as described in this subsection to be used for application and reapplication to determine the need and eligibility of a student for financial assistance...”. The determination of need and eligibility are for the following Title IV, HEA, federal student financial assistance programs: the Federal Pell Grant Program; the Campus-Based programs (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) and Federal Work-Study (FWS)); the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program; the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant; the Children of Fallen Heroes Scholarship and the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant. Federal Student Aid (FSA), an office of the U.S. Department of Education (hereafter “the Department”), subsequently developed an application process to collect and process the data necessary to determine a student’s eligibility to receive Title IV, HEA program assistance. The application process involves an applicant’s submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). This is a request for revisions of a current information collection, and important changes to the FAFSA form are described separately in the 2027-2028 Summary of Enhancements document.

NESHAP for Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymer Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHHH) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHHH were proposed on May 20, 2011, and promulgated on April 17, 2012. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new PVC production facilities. Area source PVC facilities are subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDDDD and not covered in this ICR. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHHHHH. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
