ACF’s Generic Clearance for Reviewer Recruitment Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This request by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is to extend approval of the generic clearance for Reviewer Recruitment Forms with no changes to purpose or use of the data collections. Burden estimates have been adjusted. ACF may recruit reviewers for a variety of different activities and each program office within ACF has specific needs for information about reviewer applicants for different activities. This overarching generic clearance allows ACF to request slightly different information from potential reviewers, yet the individual forms serve the same general function. The abbreviated clearance process of the generic clearance allows program offices to gather a suitable pool of candidates within the varied time periods available for reviewer recruitment. The forms submitted under this umbrella generic are and will be voluntary, low-burden and uncontroversial. Information will be collected electronically unless specified otherwise in an individual generic information collection (GenIC) request.

The Clinical Trials Reporting Program (CTRP) Database (NCI)

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for OMB to approve a Reinstatement With Change of the “The Clinical Trials Reporting Program (CTRP) Database” for an additional three years. CTRP is an electronic resource that serves as a single, definitive source of information about all NCI-supported clinical research.

DCIA Aging and Compliance Data Requirements for Guaranty Agencies

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Education (the Department) is requesting OMB approval for a reinstatement without change 1845-0160 DCIA Aging and Compliance Data Requirements for Guaranty Agencies (GAs). The Department is required to report to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) the status and condition of its non-tax debt portfolio in accordance with the requirements of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) and the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA Act). Receivable information is reported to Treasury via the Treasury Report on Receivables and Debt Collection Activities (previously called the TROR). The Department is unable to prepare an accurate and compliant Treasury Report without additional data from its GAs. The continuing guidance requires the GAs to submit to the Department: age debt according to DCIA; report the eligibility of DCIA-aged debt for referral to the Treasury Offset Program (TOP); and report compliance with Form 1099-C reporting. Neither the regulations or the data requirements have changed since the last extension of this ICR in 2023.

Medical Expenditure Panel Survey - Household and Medical Provider Components

Key Information

Abstract

The MEPS was initiated in 1996. Each year a new panel of sample households is selected. Recent annual MEPS-HC sample sizes average about 13,500 households. Data can be analyzed at either the person, family, or event level. The panel design of the survey, which includes 5 Rounds of interviews covering 2 full calendar years, provides data for examining person level changes in selected variables such as expenditures, health insurance coverage, and health status (see Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Content Summary of the Household Interview (ahrq.gov) for information on how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted this design). Using a combination of computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI), computer assisted video interviewing (CAVI), and self-administered paper and web questionnaires, information about each household member is collected, and the survey builds on this information from interview to interview. CAVI is a new data collection technology and offers the best of both telephone and in-person interviewing, while offering opportunities for cost savings and more accurate reporting. This Information Collection Request (ICR) is for a revision to the Medical Expenditures Panel Survey – Household Component (MEPS-HC). These changes will be fielded in the Spring and Fall of 2025 and includes the addition of the Burdens and Economic Impacts of Medical Care Self-Administered Questionnaire (ESAQ), minor changes to questions in both the Core MEPS Interview and the Adult SAQ and removing the Cancer SAQ (CSAQ).

Pacific Islands Logbook Family of Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This Supporting Statement describes an extension of the currently approved information collection in OMB control no. 0648-0214. Reporting requirements for all collections under 0648-0214 would not change, including vessels fishing under Pacific Islands Region permits for pelagic longline fishing, crustaceans, precious corals, bottomfish, and other pelagic fisheries. The current information collection would be continued. Vessel operators or owners in Federally-managed fisheries in the Pacific Islands Region (PIR) are required to provide certain information about their fishing activities, catch, and interactions with protected species by submitting reports to National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), per 50 CFR Part 665.14 . These data are needed to determine the condition of fish stocks and whether current management measures are having the intended effects, to evaluate the benefits and costs of changes in management measures, and to monitor and respond to accidental takes of endangered and threatened species, including seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals. The reports are submitted using paper logbooks or electronic logbooks (computer tablets or other devices) to the NMFS Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center. The Hawaii and American Samoa pelagic longline fisheries will submit reports using electronic logbooks, although paper logbooks will be used if there are equipment or transmission failures. Electronic logbooks collect the same information as paper logbooks. All other PIR fisheries use paper logbooks only. Longline vessel operators are also required to submit pre-trip notifications, including information on trip type, departure time, and transit through a protected species zone per 50 CFR 665.803 . Other fisheries are required to submit notifications of trip return, unloading, or sales reports per regulations in multiple Subparts of 50 CFR 665 .

Part 563, Event Data Recorders

Key Information

Abstract

449 CFR Part 563, Event Data Recorders, specifies uniform, national requirements for vehicles equipped with event data recorders (EDRs) concerning the collection, storage, and retrievability of onboard motor vehicle crash event data. Part 563 requires manufacturers that voluntarily install EDRs in vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 3,855 kilograms (8,500 pounds) or less to ensure that the EDRs: • Record 15 essential data elements; • Record up to 30 additional data elements if the vehicle is equipped to record these elements; • Record these data elements in a standardized format, with specifications for range, accuracy, resolution, sampling rate, recording duration, and filter class; • Function after full-scale vehicle crash tests specified in FMVSS Nos. 208 and 214; and • Have the capacity to record two events in a multi-event crash. In addition, part 563 requires vehicle manufacturers to make a retrieval tool for the EDR information commercially available, and include a standardized statement in the owner’s manual indicating that the vehicle is equipped with an EDR and describing its purpose. Part 563 helps ensure that EDRs record, in a readily usable manner, data valuable for effective crash investigations and for analysis of safety equipment performance (e.g., advanced restraint systems). Crash investigators and researchers use EDR data to better understand the severity of a crash, the operation of vehicle air bags, and the air bag deployment decision strategies used during the event, which may result in the development of safer vehicle designs. Additionally, the agency’s experience in handling unintended acceleration and pedal entrapment allegations has demonstrated that, if a vehicle is equipped with an EDR, the data from that EDR can improve the ability of both the agency and the vehicle’s manufacturer to identify and address safety concerns associated with possible defects in the design or performance of the vehicle.

DoD Active Duty/Reserve Forces Dental Examination

Key Information

Abstract

The DD Form 2813, “Department of Defense Active Duty/Reserve/Guard/Civilian Forces Dental Examination” is used by members of the Active and Reserve Components of the Armed Forces and certain DoD civilians to enable civilian dentists to document and report their dental health status. It is difficult for Reserve Component members to receive their routine dental care from Active Duty dentists, but they are required to document the fact that they have undergone an annual dental examination. Therefore, this form is used as a method for civilian dentists to confirm that an exam was completed and convey the dental health status of members of the Reserve Components and Active Duty Service Members in remote locations.

Scheduling Information for the Licensing of Accident Tolerant, Higher Burnup, and Increased Enrichment Fuels

Key Information

Abstract

The accident tolerant fuel (ATF) program is a joint effort between the U.S. nuclear industry and the U.S. Department of Energy to design and pursue approval of various fuel types with enhanced accident tolerance. The ATF program includes development of technologies that would extend fuel burnup and enrichment limits beyond currently authorized levels. In order to deploy these new technologies, the industry will need to seek authorization for various activities throughout the fuel cycle, from fuel fabrication, transportation, and storage to installation and utilization in a reactor. In order to support the timely processing of licensing activities needed to support the deployment of these new technologies, the NRC is seeking scheduling information for licensing submittals from all respondents. This information will allow the NRC to better allocate its resources to support the activities associated with licensing these technologies while being better able to meet the industry’s desired timeline.
