Information Program on Clinical Trials: Maintaining a Registry and Results Databank (NLM)

Key Information

Abstract

This is a revision of a previously approved submission. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) operates the ClinicalTrials.gov website under the authority of the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). ClinicalTrials.gov supports the collection of Clinical Trial Registration and Results Information necessary to implement statutory requirements of Section 801 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA 801) and regulatory requirements at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 11. Information collection at ClinicalTrials.gov also serves as a means of enhancing enrollment or complying with policies of federal agencies and other organizations. Information is collected via electronic submission to the ClinicalTrials.gov Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS). The information in the databank is publicly available. It is intended to provide current and reliable information on the broadest possible scale to members of the public, including patients, physicians, and researchers, about the existence, nature, enrollment status, location, eligibility criteria, sponsorship, progress, and outcomes of clinical trials.

Abstract

FINAL RULE: Risk-Informed, Technology-Inclusive Regulatory Framework for Advanced Reactors The NRC is amending its regulations by adding a risk-informed, performance-based, and technology-inclusive regulatory framework for commercial nuclear plants in response to the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act (NEIMA). The current application and licensing requirements were primarily developed to address license requests concerning light water-cooled reactors and operational requirements for those types of reactors. This final rule responds to NEIMA by creating an alternative, technology-inclusive regulatory framework to accommodate licensing of future commercial nuclear plants, including advanced reactor designs that may not employ light-water technology. The information collections associated with the final rule have been submitted under the following clearance numbers: 3150-0146 Burden for 10 CFR Part 26 (revision) 3150-0274 Burden for 10 CFR Part 53 (new clearance number for a new CFR Part) 3150-0272 NRC Forms 893 and 894 (new clearance number for a new form) 3150-0002: 10 CFR Part 73 (revision) 3150-0104: NRC Form 366 (revision) 3150-0271 Burden for 10 CFR Part 50 (temporary clearance number, 3150-0011 is currently unavailable for submissions due to the Alternatives to the Use of Credit Ratings final rule) 3150-XXXX: Burden for NRC Form 361 (temporary clearance number, 3150-0238 will soon be unavailable due to the upcoming renewal of this form) 3150-XXXX: Burden for NRC Form 396 (temporary clearance number, 3150-0027 is currently unavailable for submissions due to renewal) 3150-XXXX: Burden for NRC Form 398 (temporary clearance number, 3150-0090 is currently unavailable for submissions due to the renewal)

Toxic Chemical Release Reporting (Non-substantive Change)

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), certain facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use specified toxic chemicals in amounts above reporting threshold levels as provided in 40 CFR 372.25 must submit annually to EPA and to their designated state or Indian country officials toxic chemical release forms containing information specified by EPA; (see 42 U.S.C. 11023). In addition, pursuant to section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA), facilities reporting under section 313 of EPCRA must also report pollution prevention and waste management data, including recycling information, for such chemicals; (see 42 U.S.C. 13106). EPA compiles and stores these reports in a publicly accessible database known as the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). Regulations at 40 CFR part 372, subpart B, require facilities that meet the above criteria to report annually. This ICR consolidates the following final rule ICRs titled Rule-Related ICR Amendment; Changes to Reporting Requirements for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances; Community Right-to-Know Toxic Chemical Release Reporting, Final Rule (RIN 2070-AK97) (OMB Control No. 2070-0225; EPA ICR No. 2724.02), Addition of Natural Gas Processing Facilities to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) (Final Rule) (OMB Control No. 2070-0206; EPA ICR No. 2560.02); and Parent Company Definition for TRI Reporting (Final Rule) (OMB Control No. 2070-0216; EPA ICR No. 2597.02) into this renewal ICR. Upon OMB approval of this ICR, EPA intends to discontinue OMB Control Nos. 2070-0225, 2070-0206, and 2070-0216.

10 CFR 9, Public Records and NRC Forms 509 and 507

Key Information

Abstract

FINAL RULE: Revisions to Freedom of Information Act Implementing Regulations The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 9, “Public Records,” Subpart A, “Freedom of Information Act Regulations,” to improve clarity by using plain language, promote agency accountability, improve efficiency in responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, update roles and responsibilities, and align the regulations with current Federal best practices for implementing FOIA. This final rule addresses the recommendation by the National Archive and Records Administration, Office of Government Information Services, that the NRC update its FOIA regulations and incorporate the U.S. Department of Justice's model language for FOIA regulations, where appropriate. The information collections in this final rule are being submitted as a nonsubstantive change to the Part 9 information collection because the changes are considered minor, nonsubstantive amendments. Further, these amendments do not have an economic impact on NRC licensees or members of the public. The information collection burden associated with this final rule would not change.

Essential Community Provider Data Collection to Support QHP Certification (CMS-10561)

Key Information

Abstract

For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2017, Health and Human Services (HHS) intends to collect more complete provider data for inclusion on the HHS Essential Community Provider (ECP) list to ensure a more accurate reflection of the universe of qualified available ECPs in a given service area that can be counted toward an issuer's satisfaction of the ECP standard. The HHS will collect data on qualified and available ECPs from providers. Providers will submit an ECP petition to be added to the HHS ECP list or provide required missing data fields to remain on the list. The degree of provider participation in this data collection effort through the ECP provider petition will help inform HHS's future proposals for counting issuers' ECP write-ins toward satisfaction of the ECP standard.

Special Notice For Repairs

Key Information

Abstract

Under 49 CFR part 216, FRA and State inspectors may issue a Special Notice for Repairs to notify a railroad in writing of an unsafe condition involving a locomotive, car, or track. The railroad must notify FRA in writing when the equipment is returned to service or the track is restored to a condition permitting operations at speeds authorized for a higher class, specifying the repairs completed. FRA and State inspectors use this information to remove from service freight cars, passenger cars, and locomotives until they can be restored to a serviceable condition. They also use this information to reduce the maximum authorized speed on a section of track until repairs can be made.

Recordkeeping for Timely Deposit Insurance Determination

Key Information

Abstract

When a bank fails, the FDIC must provide depositors insured funds ‘‘as soon as possible’’ after failure while also resolving the failed bank in the least costly manner. The 12 CFR Part 370 facilitates prompt payment of FDIC-insured deposits when large insured depository institutions fail. The rule requires insured depository institutions that have two million or more deposit accounts ("covered institutions"), to maintain complete and accurate data on each depositor’s ownership interest by right and capacity for all of the covered institution’s deposit accounts. The covered institutions are required to develop the capability to calculate the insured and uninsured amounts for each deposit owner, by ownership right and capacity, for all deposit accounts. This data would be used by the FDIC to make timely deposit insurance determinations in the event of a covered insured depository institution’s failure.

Key Information

Abstract

In the final rule, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2017 (CMS-9937-F), we finalized 45 CFR 156.1256, which requires QHP issuers, in the case of a material plan or benefit display error included in 45 CFR 155.420(d)(12), to notify their enrollees of the error and the enrollees’ eligibility for a special enrollment period within 30 calendar days after the issuer is informed by an Federally- facilitated Exchange (FFE) that the error is corrected, if directed to do so by the FFE. This requirement provides notification to QHP enrollees of errors that may have impacted their QHP selection and enrollment and any associated monthly or annual costs, as well as the availability of a special enrollment period under §155.420(d)(12) for the enrollee to select a different QHP, if desired.

Stress Testing Recordkeeping and Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has issued a rule that revises the FDIC’s requirements for stress testing by FDIC-supervised institutions, consistent with changes made by Section 401 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA). Specifically, the rule amends the FDIC’s existing stress testing regulations at 12 CFR Part 325 to change the minimum threshold for applicability from $10 billion to $250 billion, revises the frequency of required stress tests by FDIC-supervised institutions, and reduces the number of required stress testing scenarios from three to two. The rule also makes certain conforming and technical changes that were previously included in an April 2019 notice of proposed rulemaking that was superseded, in part, by the enactment of EGRRCPA. On May 17, 2012, the OCC, along with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (FRB), published guidance on the use of stress testing as a means to better understand the range of a banking organization’s potential risk exposures. The guidance provides an overview of how a banking organization should structure its stress testing activities to ensure they fit into the banking organization’s overall risk management program. The purpose of the guidance is to outline broad principles for a satisfactory stress testing framework and describe the manner in which stress testing should be used, that is as an integral component of risk management applicable at various levels of aggregation within a banking organization as well as a tool for capital and liquidity planning. While the guidance is not intended to provide detailed instructions for conducting stress testing for any particular risk or business area, it does include descriptions of several types of stress testing activities and how they may be most appropriately used by banking organizations. The guidance also does not explicitly address the stress testing requirements imposed upon certain companies by section 165(i) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act).

Generic Clearance for Quick Turnaround Testing of Communication Effectiveness

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request supports FDA programs by creating an information collection for the development of a “Generic Clearance for Quick Turnaround Testing of Communication Effectiveness.” Section 1003(d)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 393(d)(2)) authorizes the FDA to conduct food research and educational and public information programs relating to the safety of the nation’s food supply. The generic studies covered by this request will be used to test FDA communications and educational messages related to FDA-regulated food, infant formula, dietary supplements, and animal food and feed when there is a need for a quick OMB clearance turnaround during matters requiring urgent public health communications. Collecting information from consumers and other stakeholders during urgent public health matters will help ensure that FDA’s messaging has reached the target audience and has been understood. Data will be collected using self-report web-based surveys, focus groups, and one-on-one in-depth interviews.

New Source Performance Standards for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKKa) (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments to the Standards of Performance for new, modified, and reconstructed stationary combustion turbines and stationary gas turbines based on the preliminary results of a review of available control technologies for limiting emissions of criteria air pollutants. This review of the new source performance standards (NSPS) is required by the Clean Air Act (CAA). In general, all NSPS 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.

Certification of Glazing Materials

Key Information

Abstract

FRA’s Safety Glazing Standards (49 CFR part 223) provides the minimum requirements for glazing materials in order to protect railroad employees and railroad passengers from injury as a result of objects striking the windows of locomotives, caboose and passenger cars. Part 223 also outlines additional requirements for emergency window exits and window safety glazing on passenger equipment. The information collected under § 223.3(c), requires marked tools for each locomotive, passenger cars, and cabooses built after 1945, used exclusively for excursion, educational, recreational, or private transportation. The tool or other instrument may be used to remove or break an emergency window if the tool or other instrument is clearly marked, and legible and understandable instructions are provided for its use. This collection of information is mandatory, collected as needed, and it involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
