Shaping the Future of Loan Repayment

Key Information

Abstract

The National Center for Education Evaluation (NCEE) at the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) within the U.S. Department of Education (ED) requests clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to conduct new data collection activities for the Shaping the Future of Loan Repayment: Participation and Repayment Progress in Federal Student Loan Plans study. Little information exists on what borrowers understand about how repayment plan features such as longer repayment period, forgiveness, a payment cap, an interest subsidy, or income-driven monthly payment, affect aspects of repayment and how borrowers may prioritize these different plan features. Improving the borrower repayment experience requires understanding how borrowers choose repayment plans, including their understanding of available options, comprehension of plan features and how those features affect their ability to pay back their loans, and the priorities that guide their decisions. In this study, ED seeks to understand which borrowers do and do not enroll in IDR plans, why they do so, how long they stay in their plans, their repayment behaviors, and other household finance and life course outcomes, as feasible. The 60-day Federal Register notice was published on March 19, 2026, Vol. 91., No. 53 page 13297. Four comments were received on the study’s recruitment and proposed data collection plan. No comments expressed opposition to or concerns about the proposed data collection. Broadly, commenters emphasized the importance of acknowledging broader factors in the framing for the study and highlighted the need to account for the diversity of borrowers and their complex repayment experiences in sampling, recruitment, and interview methods. After reviewing the public comments, the study team revised selected measures of household financial circumstances in the interview protocol. No changes are recommended to the IDR sampling plan, recruitment strategy, data collection plan, or the analytic focus. This request covers telephone/virtual interviews with federal student loan borrowers in repayment. This is the first and only request for the collection of data for this study.

Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA)

Key Information

Abstract

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) requests clearance to conduct the 2025 Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA). The CTLEA was first collected in 2019 (reference year of 2018) and is part of the larger BJS portfolio of tribal justice data collections that comprise the Tribal Justice Statistics Program (TJSP). Three tribal justice agency-specific data collections make up the core of the BJS TJSP: the Survey of Jails in Indian Country (SJIC), the CTLEA, and the Census of Tribal Court Systems (CTCS). The CTLEA collects aggregated administrative data from all tribal law enforcement agencies in Indian country, which consists of approximately 300 agencies, including tribally operated agencies, those operated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the Alaska State Troopers on behalf of the Village Public Safey Officers Program (VPSO).

National Communication System for Runaway and Homeless Youth Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

The Family and Youth Services Bureau’s (FYSB) Runaway and Homeless Youth Division has a legislative requirement to fund a National Communication System, which is currently operated by the National Runaway Safeline (NRS). The NRS provides information, referral services, crisis intervention, and prevention resources to vulnerable youth and families of youth at risk of running away and/or becoming homeless at no cost. When necessary, the NRS refers runaway and homeless youth to shelters, counseling, medical assistance, and other vital services. The NRS collects information from all contacts with youth and adults connecting with the NRS (i.e., parents, family members, legal guardians, service providers) on a voluntary basis to inform crisis services and develop an annual report on the information collected during calls, chats, emails, and forum posts from young people who reached out to the NRS’s crisis services. The Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA), as reauthorized by the Reconnecting Homeless Youth Act of 2008 (P.L.110-378) through FY 2013 and more recently reauthorized by the Juvenile Justice Reform Act through FY 2019, mandates the Secretary shall make grants for a national communication system to assist runaway and homeless youth in communicating with their families and with service providers. The NRS is required to have a system for collecting and analyzing data on calls, emails, chat, texts, and online messages received as well as other information, such as prevention resources, referrals, demographics, and visitors to the NRS website. The NRS must submit monthly and semi-annual reports. The NRS uses two forms, one form to collect relevant information disclosed during calls, emails, and forum posts, and then a second form to collect information from chats. All data will be provided to FYSB in the aggregate and no personally identifiable information are collected.

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.

Form S-6 [17 CFR 239.19], for registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of Unit Investment Trusts registered on Form N-8B-2

Key Information

Abstract

Form S-6 (17 CFR 239.16) is used for registration under the Securities Act of 1933 for the securities of any unit investment trusts ("UITs") registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 on Form N-8B-2. Section 5 of the Securities Act requires the filing of a registration statement prior to the offer of securities to the public and that the statement be effective before any securities are sold. Most UITs update their registration statements under the Securities Act on an annual basis in order that their sponsors may continue to maintain a secondary market in the units. UITs that are registered under the Investment Company Act on Form N-8B-2 file post-effective amendments to their registration statements on Form S-6 in order to update their prospectuses. Form S-6's information collection is a reporting requirement, and the respondents are the UITs.

Case Service Report (RSA-911)

Key Information

Abstract

The Case Service Report (RSA-911) is used to collect individual level data on State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program participants on a quarterly basis. The data collected in this report are mandated by section 101(a)(10) and 607 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Act) and section 116(d) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. In addition, the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) uses data reported through this collection to support its other responsibilities under the Act. Section 14(a) of the Act calls for the evaluation of programs authorized under the Act, as well as an assessment of the programs’ effectiveness in relation to cost. Many of these evaluations use RSA-911 data. RSA also uses data captured through the RSA-911 during the conduct of both the annual review and periodic on-site monitoring of VR agencies required by section 107 of the Act to examine the effectiveness of program performance. Other important management activities, such as the provision of technical assistance, program planning, and budget preparation and development, are greatly enhanced through the use of RSA-911 data. In addition, RSA uses RSA-911 data in the exchange of data under a data sharing agreement with the Social Security Administration and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as required by section 131 of the Act. Finally, the RSA-911 is considered to be one of the most robust databases in describing the demographics of the disabled population in the country and as such is used widely in researchers’ disability-related analyses and reports. The current RSA-911 expires on 09/30/2026, which occurs during Program Year 2026 (07/01/2026-06/30/2027). Because RSA must collect the same performance data for the entirety of a Program Year, RSA must begin Program Year 2027 with approval of this proposed revision in place. Thus, RSA is proposing to extend with revisions the RSA-911 for three years. If this revision is approved, VR agencies will collect and report data under this collection for Program Years 2027 through 2029. (07/01/2027-06/30/2030).

Rule 35d-1 Investment Company Names

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 35d-1 (17 CFR 270.35d-1) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 is designed to address certain broad categories of registered investment company and business development company (together, “funds”) names that, in the Commission’s view, are likely to mislead an investor about a fund’s investments and risks. The rule’s provisions are intended to further that goal. For example, the rule has a reporting requirement—the requirement to provide certain notices to shareholders—that is designed to ensure that when shareholders purchase shares in a fund based, at least in part, on its name, and with the expectation that it will follow the investment policy suggested by that name, they will have sufficient time to decide whether to redeem their shares in the event that the fund decides to pursue a different investment policy. The rule similarly includes recordkeeping requirements that are designed to help ensure compliance with the rule’s requirements and aid in oversight.

The rule provides that any act of a broker-dealer designed to effect securities transactions with or for a customer account over which the broker-dealer (directly or through an agent or employee) has discretion will be considered a fraudulent, manipulative, or deceptive practice under the federal securities laws, unless a record is made of the transaction immediately by the broker-dealer. The record must include: (1) the name of the customer, (2) the name, amount, and price of the security, and (3) the date and time when such transaction took place.

VA Health Professional Scholarship Programs (HPSP, VIOMPSP)

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Professional Scholarship Program (HPSP) and the VA Visual Impairment and Orientation and Mobility Professionals Scholarship Program (VIOMPSP) were authorized under Public Law 111-163 on May 5, 2010, and extended through December 31, 2033, by Section 301 of P.L. 115-182, VA Mission Act of 2018. These programs help address health care workforce needs and allow VA to provide services to the public by awarding scholarships to VA employees, and non-VA employees who will be required to become VA employees, in the professions for which they were educated under these programs. This information collection is necessary for VA to determine an applicant's eligibility to receive a scholarship award and compliance with program requirements. The Educational Assistance for Certain Former Members of the Armed Forces (EACFMAF) Program and the Veterans Healing Veterans Medical Access and Education Scholarship Program (VHVMAESP), which were previously included in this collection, have been removed because these were pilot programs that have ended and will not be renewed by VA. Two forms associated with these pilot programs also have been removed form the collection.
