Title: Movement of Plants and Plant Products from Hawaii and the Territories.

OMB Control Number: 0579-0346.

Type of Request: Revision to and extension of approval of an information collection.

Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq. ) authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to restrict the importation, entry, or interstate movement of plants, plant products, and other articles to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States or their dissemination within the United States. This authority has been delegated to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), which administers regulations to implement the PPA.

In 7 CFR part 318, under the regulations in “Subpart A—Regulated Articles from Hawaii and the Territories” (§§  318.13-1 through 318.13-17), APHIS prohibits or restricts the interstate movement of fruits and vegetables into the continental United States from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to prevent plant pests and noxious weeds from being introduced into and spread within the continental United States.

The regulations contain requirements for a performance-based process for approving the interstate movement of commodities that, based on the findings of a pest risk analysis, can be safely imported subject to one or more designated phytosanitary measures and for acknowledging pest-free areas. These requirements involve information collection activities, including limited permits, inspections to issue limited permits, inspections of production areas, transit permits, compliance agreements, inspection and certification, labeling for fruits and vegetables produced in pest-free areas, written requests for facility approvals, trapping and surveillance, and recordkeeping. In addition, the activities of packaging, marking, identification, and certification of sweet potatoes from Hawaii are also included.

We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve our use of these information collection activities for 3 years. APHIS has amended this information collection due to a decrease in the number of Respondents reporting; however, the number of Responses and the Total Burden Hours reported for the collection has increased.

The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public (as well as affected agencies) concerning our information collection. These comments will help us:

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated, electronic, mechanical, and other collection technologies, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

Estimate of burden: The public burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.151 hours per response.

Respondents: Wholesalers and producers of fruits and vegetables; growers, shippers, and exporters in Hawaii, U.S. Territories, and State plant regulatory officials; and irradiation facility personnel.

Estimated annual number of respondents: 73.

Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 301.

Estimated annual number of responses: 21,950.

Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 3,304 hours. (Due to averaging, the total annual burden hours may not equal the product of the annual number of responses multiplied by the reporting burden per response.)

All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record.

On August 4, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the Preliminary Results and invited comments from interested parties. 1 In September 2025, POSCO requested a public hearing and subsequently withdrew its request, 2 and filed a case brief. 3 No other party filed a case or rebuttal brief.

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days. 4 Additionally, due to a backlog of documents that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an additional 21 days. 5 On February 3, 2026, we extended the final results of this review by 30 days. 6 Accordingly, the deadline for the final results is now March 10, 2026.

A summary of the events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 7 The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via ACCESS. ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

All issues raised in the case brief are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that POSCO raised and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached as an appendix to this notice.

The product covered by the Order is certain hot-rolled products of carbon steel and alloy steel, in coils, of approximately round cross section, less than 19.00 mm in actual solid cross-sectional diameter. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 9

Based on a review of the record and comments received from POSCO regarding the Preliminary Results, we made certain changes to the preliminary weighted-average dumping margin calculated for POSCO. For a detailed discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024:

Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in connection with these final results of review to interested parties within five days after public announcement of the final results or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the Federal Register , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), then Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties. 11 Accordingly, because the final weighted-average dumping margin for POSCO is de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by POSCO for which it did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary ( e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate ( i.e., 41.10 percent)  12 if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. 13

Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register . If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired ( i.e., within 90 days of publication).

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for POSCO will be will be the rates established in these final results of the review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rates will be zero; (2) for previously-investigated companies not participating in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the producer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be the all-other rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation ( i.e., 41.10 percent). 14 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commer's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).

Tuesday, April 21, 2026, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., EDT

The meeting will begin with Introductions of Members and Adoption of Agenda, review of March 2025 Meeting Summary and Scope of Work.

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

The MMPA prohibits the “take” of marine mammals, with certain exceptions. Among the exceptions is section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq. ) which directs the Secretary of Commerce (as delegated to NMFS) to allow, upon request, the incidental, but not intentional, taking by harassment of small numbers of marine mammals by U.S. citizens who engage in a specified activity (other than commercial fishing) within a specified geographical region if certain findings are made and the public has an opportunity to comment on the proposed IHA.

Specifically, NMFS will issue an IHA if it finds that the taking will have a negligible impact on the species or stock(s) and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of the species or stock(s) for taking for subsistence uses (where relevant). Further, NMFS must prescribe the permissible methods of taking and other “means of effecting the least [practicable] adverse impact” on the affected species or stocks and their habitat, paying particular attention to rookeries, mating grounds, and areas of similar significance, and on the availability of such species or stocks for taking for certain subsistence uses (referred to here as “mitigation”). NMFS must also prescribe requirements pertaining to the monitoring and reporting of such takings. The definitions of key terms, such as “take,” “harassment,” and “negligible impact,” can be found in the MMPA and the NMFS' implementing regulations (see 16 U.S.C. 1362; 50 CFR 216.103).

On February 27, 2026, a notice of NMFS' proposal to issue an IHA to HRCP for take of marine mammals incidental to the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion Project, Norfolk, Virginia was published in the Federal Register (91 FR 9815). In that notice, NMFS indicated the estimated numbers, type, and methods of incidental take proposed for each species or stock, as well as the mitigation, monitoring, and reporting measures that would be required should the IHA be issued. The Federal Register notice also included analysis to support NMFS' preliminary conclusions and determinations that the IHA, if issued, would satisfy the requirements of section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA for issuance of the IHA. The Federal Register notice included web links to a draft IHA for review, as well as other supporting documents.

No comments were received during the public comment period. There are no changes to the specified activity, the species taken, the proposed numbers, type, or methods of take, or the mitigation, monitoring, or reporting measures in the proposed IHA notice. No new information that would change any of the preliminary analyses, conclusions, or determinations in the proposed IHA notice has become available since that notice was published, and therefore, the preliminary analyses, conclusions, and determinations included in the proposed IHA are considered final.

To comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. ) and NOAA Administrative Order (NAO) 216-6A, NMFS must review our proposed action ( i.e., the issuance of an IHA) with respect to potential impacts on the human environment.

This action is consistent with categories of activities identified in Categorical Exclusion B4 (IHAs with no anticipated serious injury or mortality) of the Companion Manual for NAO 216-6A, which do not individually or cumulatively have the potential for significant impacts on the quality of the human environment and for which we have not identified any extraordinary circumstances that would preclude this categorical exclusion. Accordingly, NMFS has determined that the issuance of the proposed IHA qualifies to be categorically excluded from further NEPA review.

Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. ) requires that each Federal agency ensures that any action it authorizes, funds, or carries out is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any endangered or threatened species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of designated critical habitat. To ensure ESA compliance for the issuance of IHAs, NMFS consults internally whenever we propose to authorize take for endangered or threatened species.

No incidental take of ESA-listed species is proposed for authorization or expected to result from this activity. Therefore, NMFS has determined that formal consultation under section 7 of the ESA is not required for this action.

Accordingly, consistent with the requirements of section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA, NMFS has issued an IHA to HRCP for authorization to take marine mammals incidental to the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion Project, Norfolk, Virginia.

Title: Law School Clinic Certification Program.

OMB Control Number: 0651-0081.

Abstract: Public Law 113-227 (Dec. 16, 2014) requires the USPTO to establish regulations and procedures for application to, and participation in the USPTO Law School Clinic Certification Program. The Program allows students enrolled in a participating law school's clinic to practice patent or trademark law before the USPTO under the direct supervision of an approved faculty clinic supervisor. Each clinic provides legal services on a pro bono basis for clients who qualify for assistance from the law school's clinic. By drafting, filing, and prosecuting patent and trademark applications, students gain valuable experience that would otherwise be unavailable to them while in law school. The program also facilitates the provision of pro bono services to patent and trademark applicants who lack the financial resources necessary for traditional legal representation. Currently, 74 law schools participate in the program.

This information collection covers the applications from law schools that wish to enter the program, faculty advisors who seek to become a faculty clinic supervisor, and students who seek to participate in this program. The collection also includes the required semi-annual reports from participating law school clinics and biennial renewals required by the program. With this renewal, the USPTO is renumbering the items within this information collection to match their current arrangement.

Forms: (LS=Law School)

Type of Review: Extension and revision of a currently approved information collection.

Affected Public: Private sector; Individuals or Households.

Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.

Frequency: On occasion; semiannually; biennially.

Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 951 respondents.

Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,025 responses.

Estimated Time per Response: The USPTO estimates that the responses in this information collection will take the public approximately 30 minutes (0.50 hours) to 30 hours to complete. This includes the time to gather the necessary information, create the document, and submit the completed item to the USPTO.

Estimated Total Annual Respondent Burden Hours: 1,330 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Respondent Non-Hourly Cost Burden: $61. The postage costs have increased since the publication of the 60-day Federal Register notice, from $12.10 to $12.25 for the Priority Mail legal flat rate envelope used for mailed submissions. The estimated postage costs equal $61.

The Department, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format. The Department is soliciting comments on the proposed information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The Department is especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) is this collection necessary to the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of information technology.

Title of Collection: Third Party Servicer Data Collection.

OMB Control Number: 1845-0130.

Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved ICR.

Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; Individuals and Households; State, Local, and Tribal Governments.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 75.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 48.

Abstract: The Department is seeking a reinstatement with change of information collection 1845-0130, covering a Third-Party Servicer Data Inquiry form. This form collects information from third party servicers. The HEA allows institutions of higher education to outsource aspects of their participation in Title IV programs. Any individual or entity that contracts with or performs work on behalf of an institution to administer any aspect of that institution's responsibilities required under the Title IV programs is defined as a third-party servicer. The Title IV regulations authorize the Department to provide oversight of third-party servicers, which are subject to the highest standard of care and diligence in their administration of Title IV programs. (34 CFR 668.2) The information collected through the Third-Party Servicer Data Inquiry form allows the Department to identify institutions of higher education that are failing to report or incorrectly reporting third-party servicer information; to monitor and enforce third-party servicer compliance with annual audit requirements; to identify other persons or organizations that contract with a third-party servicer to assist with any aspect of the administration of a Title IV program on behalf of the third-party servicer or its clients; and to effectively coordinate third-party servicer program review assessments.

The Department is especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) is this collection necessary to the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of information technology. Please note that written comments received in response to this notice will be considered public records.

Title of Collection: National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS).

OMB Control Number: 1845-0035.

Type of Review: Reinstatement without change of a previously approved ICR.

Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector; State, Local, and Tribal Governments.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 16,212.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 33,624.

Abstract: Title IV, Part G of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) as further amended by the 1998 Amendments to the HEA (Pub. L. 105-244) section 485B, requires the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) to establish a National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) that contains information about Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program loans, Federal Perkins loans (including National Direct Student Loans and National Defense Student Loans), William D. Ford Federal Direct Student loans (Direct Loan), Federally Insured Student Loans (FISL) and Federal Grants including Pell Grants, Academic Competitiveness Grants (ACG), Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants (IASG), National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART) and Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants.

NSLDS is operated out of Federal Student Aid (FSA) and is used for research, policy analysis, monitoring student enrollment, identifying loan holders and servicers, calculating default rates, monitoring program participants, and verifying student aid eligibility. This is a request for a reinstatement without change of the current information collection and burden assessed to 1845-0035.

Title: Gas Pipeline Certificates: Section 7(a) Mandatory Initial Service.

OMB Control No.: 1902-0061.

Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-538 information collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting requirements.

Abstract: The purpose of FERC-538 is to implement the information collections pursuant to sections 7(a), 10(a) and 16 of Natural Gas Act  1 , and part 156 of the Commission Regulations. 2 These statutes and regulations allow for the Commission, after receiving an application, to order a natural gas company to extend or improve its transportation facilities and sell natural gas to the municipality or person and, for such purpose, to extend its transportation facilities to communities immediately adjacent to such facilities or to territories served by the natural gas pipeline company. The Commission uses the application data in order to be fully informed concerning the applicant and the service the applicant is requesting.

Type of Respondents: Persons or municipalities authorized to engage in the local distribution of natural gas.

Estimate of Annual Burden:   3 The Commission estimates the annual reporting burden and cost for the information collection as:

Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

The purpose of the meetings is to discuss issues related to the following topics:

Notice is hereby given that a portion of each scheduled meeting may be closed to the public. The Appointments Panel, a chartered subcommittee of FASAB that makes recommendations regarding appointments for non-federal member positions, is expected to meet during each meeting. A portion of each Appointments Panel meeting will be closed to the public. The reason for the closures is that matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6) will be discussed. Any such discussions will involve matters that relate solely to internal personnel rules and practices of the sponsor agencies and the disclosure of information of a personal nature where disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Such discussions will be segregated into separate discussions so that a portion of each meeting will be open to the public. Pursuant to section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. 1009(d), portions of advisory committee meetings may be closed to the public where the head of the agency to which the advisory committee reports determines that such portion of such meeting may be closed to the public in accordance with subsection (c) of section 552b of title 5, United States Code. The determination shall be in writing and shall contain the reasons for the determination. A determination has been made in writing by the GAO, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the Office of Management and Budget, as required by section 10(d) of FACA, that such portions of the meetings may be closed to the public in accordance with subsection (c) of section 552b of title 5, United States Code.

Unless otherwise noted, FASAB meetings begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude before 5 p.m. Meetings are either in-person at the GAO building at 441 G St. NW or virtual. Unless otherwise noted, the February and December meetings are virtual, and the April, June, August, and October meetings are in-person. Regardless of whether the Board meeting is virtual or in-person, you may observe the meeting virtually.

These meetings are held under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq. ) and 41 CFR 102-3.140 and 102-3.150. Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.140d, the committee is not obligated to allow a member of the public to speak or otherwise address the committee during the meeting, and members of the public attending the committee meeting will not be permitted to present questions from the floor or speak to any issue under consideration of the committee.

Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.140 and section 10(a)(3) of FACA, 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3), any member of the public wishing to provide input to the FASAB may submit a written statement. The public or interested organizations may submit written comments or statements to the Board about its mission and/or the topics to be addressed in the open sessions of a public meeting. Written comments or statements should be submitted to fasab@fasab.gov and must be received at least 5 days before the meeting date. All advance submissions will be reviewed by the Designated Federal Officer. If approved, advance submissions shall be circulated to the Board members for review prior to the meeting. Please note that because FASAB operates under FACA, all written comments will be treated as public documents and will be made available for public inspection.

FASAB provides American Sign Language Interpreter Services (ASL) and Communication Access Real-time Translation (CART) services for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. CART is a real-time transcription service. ASL and CART services may be requested by emailing fasab@fasab.gov. To request other types of accommodations, email fasab@fasab.gov. Please request all accommodations at least 5 days prior to the meeting.

Authority: 31 U.S.C. 3511(d); Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. 1001-1014.

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below.

The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:

1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;

4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses; and

5. Assess information collection costs.

Public Health/Public Safety Strategies to Reduce Drug Overdose Data Collection (OMB Control No. 0920-1419, Exp. 10/31/2026)—Revision—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The drug overdose epidemic continues to pose a threat to communities across the country. In 2024, there were 79,384 overdose deaths, which equates to approximately 217 overdose deaths each day. While this indicates a decline in deaths since 2022, overdose remains the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18-44. In December 2025, the declaration of the opioid crisis as a national public health emergency was renewed yet again. Adding to this challenge, drug availability and overdose trends continue to change, shaped most recently by the widespread inclusion of adulterants in the drug supply ( e.g., fentanyl, xylazine, medetomidine) and an increase in the number of overdose deaths with evidence of smoking.

Multisector collaboration is critical to saving lives and reducing the overdose epidemic. Two key sectors in this response, public health and public safety (PH/PS), are both on the front lines and tasked with improving community safety and well-being. CDC demonstrates strong commitment to PH/PS partnerships through implementation of several national programs. In September 2019, CDC launched the first multiyear Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) cooperative agreement that enhanced surveillance and prevention of fatal and nonfatal opioid overdoses in 47 states and 19 localities. In August 2023, CDC awarded new cooperative agreements to 49 states and 40 localities that aimed to apply lessons learned from the previous funding opportunity, continue to enhance surveillance, and close gaps in prevention. The current iteration of the program requires recipients to carry out prevention activities in partnership with public safety or in public safety settings. Since 2017, CDC has supported the Overdose Response Strategy (ORS), a unique collaboration between public health and public safety partners created to help local communities reduce drug overdose and save lives. Finally, CDC leads the Opioid Rapid Response Program, an interagency, coordinated federal effort with the HHS Office of Inspector General, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and other federal agencies, to help mitigate overdose risks among patients who lose access to a prescriber of opioids due to law enforcement actions. As PH/PS strategies for overdose prevention continue to be leveraged, a comprehensive understanding of their design, implementation, and effects is needed to inform these national programs.

The goal of this Revision for this Generic information collection request (ICR) is to continue to collect data to improve overdose prevention efforts that involve PH/PS sectors or address populations at increased risk of overdose in the public safety setting. This requires practical information and experiential knowledge on current implementation of overdose prevention efforts by PH/PS. Based on previous experience, NCIPC has revised this ICR to remove objective C: Identify disparities in access to, or the effectiveness of, strategies, as it is no longer needed.

This Generic ICR will continue to allow for the gathering of information about PH/PS strategies to identify actions to improve responses to the overdose crisis. The assessments conducted and information gathered through this Generic ICR are used to rapidly improve the implementation of programs enacted through these partnerships throughout the lifespan of CDC's national programs. In this context, a routine ICR does not suffice, as not collecting this information in a timely manner impedes CDC from responding to state or local requests for assistance and delays identifying new strategies or modifying existing ones that could lead to reduced overdose morbidity and mortality.

CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 2,500 annual burden hours. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.

Title I of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-347, as amended by Pub. L. 114-113, Pub. L. 116-59, Pub. L. 117-328, Pub. L. 118-31, and Pub. L. 119-75), added Title XXXIII to the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, 1 establishing the WTC Health Program within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The WTC Health Program provides medical monitoring and treatment benefits for health conditions on the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions (List)  2 to eligible firefighters and related personnel, law enforcement officers, and rescue, recovery, and cleanup workers who responded to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania (responders). The Program also provides benefits to eligible persons who were present in the dust or dust cloud on September 11, 2001, or who worked, resided, or attended school, childcare, or adult daycare in the New York City disaster area  3 (survivors).

All references to the Administrator of the WTC Health Program (Administrator) in this document mean the Director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) or his designee.

In accordance with section 3312(a)(6)(B) of the PHS Act, interested parties may petition the Administrator to add a health condition to the List in 42 CFR 88.15. Within 90 days after receipt of a valid petition to add a condition to the List, the Administrator must take one of the following four actions described in section 3312(a)(6)(B) of the PHS Act and § 88.16(a)(2) of the WTC Health Program regulations: (1) Request a recommendation of the WTC Health Program Scientific/Technical Advisory Committee (STAC); (2) publish a proposed rule in the Federal Register to add such health condition; (3) publish in the Federal Register the Administrator's determination not to publish such a proposed rule and the basis for such determination; or (4) publish in the Federal Register a determination that insufficient evidence exists to take action under (1) through (3) above.

More information about the WTC Health Program, including the List and the petition process, is available at www.cdc.gov/wtc/.

In addition to the regulatory provisions, the WTC Health Program has developed policies to guide the review of submissions and petitions, 4 as well as the analysis of evidence supporting the potential addition of a non-cancer health condition to the List. 5

A valid petition must include sufficient medical basis for the association between the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the health condition to be added. In accordance with WTC Health Program Policy and Procedures for Handling Submissions and Petitions to Add a Health Condition to the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions, 6 reference to a peer-reviewed, published, epidemiologic study about the health condition among 9/11-exposed populations or clinical case reports of health conditions in WTC responders or survivors may demonstrate the required medical basis. 7 Studies linking 9/11 agents or hazards  8 to the petitioned health condition may also provide sufficient medical basis for a valid petition. 9 In accordance with 42 CFR 88.16(a)(5), the Administrator is required to consider a new petition for a previously evaluated health condition determined not to qualify for addition to the List only if the new petition presents a new medical basis for the association between 9/11 exposures and the condition to be added. A new medical basis is evidence not previously reviewed by the Administrator.

After the Program has determined that a petition is valid, and in accordance with the Policy and Procedures for Adding Non-Cancer Conditions to the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions ( Policy and Procedures ), the Administrator directs the WTC Health Program Science Team (Science Team) to conduct a review of the scientific literature. The literature review includes a keyword search of relevant scientific databases intended to identify peer-reviewed, published, epidemiologic studies about the health condition among 9/11-exposed populations.

The Science Team evaluates the scientific quality of each peer-reviewed, published, epidemiologic study of the health condition identified in the literature search using validity indicators described in the Policy and Procedures. 10 Studies exhibiting sufficient validity indicators have the potential to provide a basis for deciding whether to propose adding the health condition to the List and are considered “high-quality” studies. The Science Team then evaluates the identified high-quality studies, individually and together, to characterize the evidence of a causal association between 9/11 exposures and the health condition. As part of this evaluation, the Science Team considers the Bradford Hill weight of evidence criteria, 11 study limitations, and whether the studies are representative of the 9/11-exposed population of responders and survivors. After evaluating the totality of the evidence, the Science Team assesses the degree to which the evidence supports a causal association between 9/11 exposures and the health condition and assigns the evidence to one of the following five categories:

The Science Team provides the outcome of its evaluation to the Administrator. A health condition may be added to the List if peer-reviewed, published, epidemiologic studies provide support that there is a substantial likelihood of a causal association between the health condition and 9/11 exposures (Category I). 12 If the evaluation of evidence provided in peer-reviewed, published, epidemiologic studies of the health condition in 9/11 populations shows a high, but not substantial, likelihood of a causal association between the 9/11 exposures and the health condition (Category II), 13 then the Administrator may consider additional highly relevant scientific evidence regarding exposures to 9/11 agents in non-9/11 exposure scenarios. If that additional assessment establishes that there is now sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that a causal association between the 9/11 exposures and the health condition is substantially likely among 9/11-exposed populations (Category I), then the Administrator may propose the addition of the health condition to the List.

On November 12, 2020, the Administrator received a petition (Petition 029) requesting the addition of several conditions, including “hepatotoxic injury—fatty liver disease” to the List. 14 The petition's validity was established by references to one peer-reviewed, published, epidemiologic study that provided a medical basis for the association between 9/11 exposures and hepatotoxic injury—fatty liver disease. The referenced study establishing a medical basis is:

• Elevated Prevalence of Moderate-to-Severe Hepatic Steatosis in World Trade Center General Responder Cohort in a Program of CT Lung Screening, by Chen et al. [2020], 15 a peer-reviewed, published cross-sectional study of WTC responders designed to compare hepatic steatosis in 9/11-exposed WTC responders compared with non-9/11-exposed lung cancer screening participants.

This study suggests a potential association between exposure to 9/11 agents and hepatotoxic injury—fatty liver disease, and thus provided a sufficient medical basis to consider the submission a valid petition.

On August 4, 2021, the Administrator received a petition (Petition 034) requesting the addition of “Hepatic Steatosis (also known as Fatty Liver Disease or Non-Alcoholic Liver Disease)” to the List. 16 The petition's validity was established by reference to two peer-reviewed, published, epidemiologic studies that provided a medical basis for the association between 9/11 exposures and hepatic steatosis. The referenced studies each individually establishing a medical basis were the study by Chen et al. [2020], described above, and:

• Dose-Response Relationship between World Trade Center Dust Exposure and Hepatic Steatosis, by Jirapatnakul et al. [2021], 17 peer-reviewed, published cross-sectional study to evaluate the existence of a dose-response relationship between the intensity of 9/11 exposures and hepatic steatosis prevalence in WTC responders.

These two studies suggest a potential association between exposure to 9/11 agents and hepatic steatosis, and thus provided sufficient medical basis to consider the submission a valid petition.

On November 15, 2021, the Administrator received a petition (Petition 035) requesting the addition of “Hepatic Steatosis/Cirrhosis” to the List. 18 The petition's validity was established by reference to one peer-reviewed, published, epidemiologic study that demonstrates a positive association between 9/11 exposures and hepatic steatosis. The referenced study establishing a medical basis is the study by Jirapatnakul et al. [2021], 19 described above. This study suggests a potential association between exposure to 9/11 agents (specifically WTC dust) and hepatic steatosis, and thus provided a sufficient medical basis to consider the submission a valid petition.

Finally, on May 14, 2025, the Administrator received a petition (Petition 062) requesting the addition of “Hepatic Steatosis (Fatty Liver Disease)” to the List. 20 The petition's validity was also established by reference to Jirapatnakul et al. [2021], 21 described above.

In response to Petitions 029, 034, 035, and 062 and pursuant to the Policy and Procedures, the Administrator of the WTC Health Program directed the Science Team to conduct a systematic search of the scientific literature to identify all peer-reviewed, published, epidemiologic studies of hepatic steatosis among 9/11-exposed populations. Identified studies were assessed for quality; those studies determined to be high-quality were then evaluated to determine if they provide evidence to support a likelihood of a causal association between 9/11 exposure and the health condition under consideration. The Science Team provided the Administrator with a paper describing its findings, Evaluation of Scientific Evidence Supporting the Addition of Hepatic Steatosis to the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions. This paper is available in the docket for this activity  22 and on the Program's website. 23

The literature search conducted by the WTC Health Program identified two peer-reviewed, published, epidemiologic studies of hepatic steatosis in 9/11-exposed populations: Chen et al. [2020] and Jirapatnakul et al. [2021], discussed above. These two studies were determined to have sufficient validity indicators to be considered high-quality studies eligible for further evaluation in accordance with the Program's Policy and Procedures. 24 The Science Team conducted an evaluation, separately and together, of the two studies to determine the likelihood of a causal association between 9/11 exposures and the petitioned health condition. The systematic literature search, the Science Team's evaluation and synthesis of the available literature, and the Science Team's conclusions regarding the association between 9/11 exposure and hepatic steatosis are described in full in the Science Team's Evaluation of Scientific Evidence Supporting the Addition of Hepatic Steatosis to the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions.

In accordance with the Policy and Procedures, 25 the WTC Health Program uses the following Bradford Hill criteria to evaluate studies of 9/11-exposed populations: strength of association, 26 precision of the risk estimate, 27 consistency of associations, 28 temporality, 29 biological gradient, 30 biological plausibility, 31 coherence, 32 and analogy. 33 As discussed in full in the Evaluation of Scientific Evidence Supporting the Addition of Hepatic Steatosis to the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions, the Science Team assessed each criterion as follows:

As summarized above, the Science Team evaluated the studies by Chen et al. [2020] and Jirapatnakul et al. [2021] using the Bradford Hill criteria to determine whether a causal association between 9/11 exposures and hepatic steatosis is supported. The Science Team concluded that the information available in these studies is insufficient to support a claim for causation using these criteria.

Only the study by Jirapatnakul et al. [2021] reported an exposure-response gradient with hepatic steatosis prevalence. However, Jirapatnakul et al. [2021] found no such gradient among those who arrived on 9/11 and had extensive dust cloud exposure versus those who arrived on 9/11 but did not have extensive dust cloud exposure. Even though both studies showed positive associations, the risk estimate in the study by Chen et al. [2020] lacked precision and is subject to potential selection bias. Both studies controlled for some, but not all, important confounders, and misclassification of exposure and outcome is possible. Consequently, chance, bias, and confounding could not be ruled out with reasonable confidence for either study. The known information on mechanisms of action supports an association between certain 9/11 agents and hepatic steatosis. However, given the significant limitations discussed above, the Science Team concluded that the available evidence is inadequate to determine the likelihood of a causal association between 9/11 exposures and hepatic steatosis.

Upon review of the evidence available in high-quality studies regarding hepatic steatosis among 9/11-exposed populations, the Science Team concluded that there is inadequate evidence to determine the likelihood of a causal association between 9/11 exposures and hepatic steatosis (Category V). 34

Pursuant to the PHS Act, sec. 3312(a)(6)(B)(iv) and 42 CFR 88.16(a)(2)(iv), and in accordance with Sec. VIII.B. of the Policy and Procedures, the Administrator has determined that insufficient evidence is available to take further action at this time, including proposing the addition of hepatic steatosis to the List (pursuant to the PHS Act, sec. 3312(a)(6)(B)(ii) and 42 CFR 88.16(a)(2)(ii)) or publishing a determination not to publish a proposed rule in the Federal Register (pursuant to the PHS Act, sec. 3312(a)(6)(B)(iii) and 42 CFR 88.16(a)(2)(iii)). The Administrator has also determined that requesting a recommendation from the STAC (pursuant to the PHS Act, sec. 3312(a)(6)(B)(i) and 42 CFR 88.16(a)(2)(i)) is unwarranted.

For the reasons discussed above, the request in Petitions 029, 034, 035, and 062 to add hepatic steatosis to the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions is denied.

The Secretary, HHS, or his designee, the Director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Administrator, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), authorized the undersigned, the Administrator of the WTC Health Program, to sign and submit the document to the Office of the Federal Register for publication as an official document of the WTC Health Program. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, Ph.D., Senior Official Carrying out the Delegable Duties of the CDC Director, approved this document for publication on April 2, 2026.

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below.

The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:

1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;

4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses; and

5. Assess information collection costs.

National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) (OMB Control No. 0920-0728, Exp. 11/30/2028)—Revision—Office of Public Health Data, Surveillance, and Technology (OPHDST), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The Public Health Services Act (42 U.S.C. 241) authorizes CDC to disseminate nationally notifiable condition information. The National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) is based on data collected at the state, territorial and local levels because of legislation and regulations in those jurisdictions that require health care providers, medical laboratories, and other entities to submit health-related data on reportable conditions to public health departments. These reportable conditions, which include infectious and non-infectious diseases, vary by jurisdiction depending upon each jurisdiction's health priorities and needs. Each year, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), supported by CDC, determines which reportable conditions should be designated nationally notifiable or under standardized surveillance.

CDC requests a three-year approval for a Revision for the NNDSS (OMB Control No. 0920-0728, Expiration Date 11/30/2028). This Revision includes requests for approval to: (1) receive case notification data for two new conditions under standardized surveillance (CSS): flea-borne typhus and soil-transmitted helminth infections; (2) receive new disease-specific data elements for leprosy (Hansen's disease); and (3) receive additional data elements for all conditions.

The NNDSS currently facilitates the submission and aggregation of case notification data voluntarily submitted to CDC from 60 jurisdictions: public health departments in every U.S. state, New York City, Washington DC, five U.S. territories (American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), and three freely associated states (Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau). This information is shared across jurisdictional boundaries and both surveillance and prevention and control activities are coordinated at regional and national levels. Approximately 90% of case notifications are encrypted and submitted to NNDSS electronically from already existing databases by automated electronic messages. When automated transmission is not possible, case notifications are faxed, emailed, uploaded to a secure network or entered into a secure website. All case notifications that are faxed or emailed are done so in the form of an aggregate weekly or annual report, not individual cases. These different mechanisms used to send case notifications to CDC vary by the jurisdiction and the disease or condition. Jurisdictions remove most personally identifiable information (PII) before data are submitted to CDC, but some data elements ( e.g., date of birth, date of diagnosis, county of residence) could potentially be combined with other information to identify individuals. Private information is not disclosed unless otherwise compelled by law. All data are treated in a secure manner consistent with the technical, administrative, and operational controls required by the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) and the 2010 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations. Weekly tables of nationally notifiable diseases are available through CDC WONDER and data.cdc.gov. Annual summaries of finalized nationally notifiable disease data are published on CDC WONDER and data.cdc.gov and disease-specific data are published by individual CDC programs.

The burden estimates include the number of hours that the public health department uses to process and send case notification data from their jurisdiction to CDC. Specifically, the burden estimates include separate burden hours incurred for automated and non-automated transmissions, separate weekly burden hours incurred for modernizing surveillance systems as part of CDC's Data Modernization Initiative (DMI) implementation, separate burden hours incurred for annual data reconciliation and submission, and separate one-time burden hours incurred for the addition of new diseases and data elements. The burden estimates for the one-time burden for reporting jurisdictions are for the addition of case notification data for flea-borne typhus and soil-transmitted helminth infections, new conditions under standardized surveillance; the addition of new disease-specific data elements for leprosy (Hansen's disease); and new data elements for all conditions.

The estimated annual burden for the 257 respondents is 18,354 hours. The estimated annual burden hours remain unchanged from the previous approval because the number of new data elements and conditions added in this revision is comparable to those that were previously approved.

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term “collection of information” is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for public comment.

1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Manufacturer Submission of Average Sales Price (ASP) Data for Medicare Part B Drugs and Biologicals and Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR 414.800-806; Use: Section 1847A of the Social Security Act requires that the Medicare Part B payment amounts for covered drugs and biologicals not paid on a cost or prospective payment basis be based upon manufacturers' average sales price data submitted quarterly to CMS. The reporting requirements are specified in 42 CFR part 414, subpart J. This April 2026 iteration proposes to revise the Bona Fide Service Fee Certification form and revise our active burden estimates. Since some of the changes are substantive, this 30-day collection of information request is a continuation of the 60-day collection of information request that published in the Federal Register on December 30, 2025 (90 FR 61154). Form Number: CMS-10110 (OMB control number: 0938-0921); Frequency: Quarterly; Affected Public: Private Sector; Number of Respondents: 500; Total Annual Responses: 4,500; Total Annual Hours: 49,500. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact: Rebecca Ray at 667-414-0879 or Laura Kennedy at 410-786-3377.)

Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), Federal Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. “Collection of information” is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document.

With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

This information collection supports Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the agency, us or we) regulations found in 21 CFR part 10, 21 CFR parts 12 through 16, and 21 CFR part 19 (21 CFR 10, 12-16, and 19), which implement general provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). The regulations were promulgated in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act and establish administrative practice and procedures to give instructions to those conducting business with FDA. Regulations in part 10 (21 CFR part 10) describe general administrative practices and include content and format instructions on submitting information to the agency, petitions for agency action, and other topics such as the public calendar. Regulations in 21 CFR parts 12 through 16 cover formal evidentiary, public, and regulatory hearings. We also account for burden associated with waiver requests under 21 CFR part 10.19. Unless a waiver, suspension, or modification submitted under § 10.19 (21 CFR 10.19) is granted by the Commissioner of Food and Drugs (the Commissioner), the regulations in 21 CFR part 10 apply to all petitions, hearings, and other administrative proceedings and activities conducted by FDA. Although we have not received requests under § 10.19, to reflect the attendant burden resulting from submitting such a request, we provide an estimate of 1 response and 1 burden hour annually, as reflected in Question-12 of this supporting statement. Also, because most information associated with regulations in parts 12-16 is obtained during the conduct of an official administrative action as described under 5 CFR 1320.4, we only include burden associated with initiating hearings pursuant to the applicable regulations.

The information collection also includes activities and burden associated with general meeting requests and correspondence submitted under section 10.65 (21 CFR 10.65), as well and general submissions associated with section 10.115—which provides for public participation in the development of agency guidance documents through requests to our Dockets Management Staff. Although most submissions and attendant burden associated with recommendations found in FDA guidance documents is accounted for in topic-specific and approved ICRs, here we account for burden associated with general public submissions as described in § 10.115(f)(3).

The information collection also includes burden associated with recommendations discussed in the guidance document entitled, “ Citizen Petitions and Petitions for Stay of Action Subject to Section 505(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. ” The guidance document communicates FDA's interpretation of section 505(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(q)): Petitions and Civil Actions Regarding Approval of Certain Applications. The guidance identifies and discusses submission elements including certification, as well as verification of supplemental information. It also addresses the relationship between the review of petitions and pending ANDAs, 505(b)(2) applications, and 351(k) applications for which a decision on approvability has not yet made.

The information collection also includes burden associated with requests for FDA speakers. FDA receives thousands of requests each year from trade associations and industry-based groups for speakers to participate in external meetings, conferences, and workshops. To facilitate the processing of these requests and determine participation, we have designated contacts throughout the agency and have developed web-based request templates which can be found on our website at https://www.fda.gov/training-and-continuing-education/contacts-requesting-fda-speaker.

We estimate the burden of this collection of information as follows:

Based on submissions to FDA's Division of Dockets Management since our last evaluation of the information collection, we have adjusted burden estimates associated with the individual activities that correspond to the applicable provisions. As a result, the information collection reflects an increase of 3,080 annual burden hours.

FDA is announcing the issuance of a priority review voucher to the sponsor of an approved rare pediatric disease product application. Under section 529 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360ff), FDA will award priority review vouchers to sponsors of approved rare pediatric disease product applications that meet certain criteria. FDA has determined LOARGYS (pegzilarginase-nbln), manufactured by Immedica Pharma AB, meets the criteria for a priority review voucher. LOARGYS (pegzilarginase-nbln) injection is indicated for the treatment of hyperargininemia in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with Arginase 1 Deficiency (ARG1-D), in conjunction with dietary protein restriction.

The proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on February 6, 2026, 91 FR 5513, allowing a 60-day comment period. Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of the following four points:

Written comments and recommendations for this information collection should be submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the following website www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting “Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments” or by using the search function and entering either the title of the information collection or the OMB Control Number [1121-0377]. This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view Department of Justice, information collections currently under review by OMB.

DOJ seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal. The DOJ notes that information collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.

1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently approved collection.

2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Data Security Requirements for Accessing Confidential Data.

3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: There is no form number associated with this information collection. The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), in the Office of Justice Programs.

4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: The Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 mandates that the OMB establish a Standard Application Process (SAP) for requesting access to certain confidential data assets for statistical purposes, including evidence-building The SAP is to be a process through which agencies, the Congressional Budget Office, State, local, and Tribal governments, researchers, and other individuals, as appropriate, may apply to access confidential data assets held by a federal statistical agency or unit for the purposes of developing evidence. With the Interagency Council on Statistical Policy (ICSP) as advisors, the entities upon whom this requirement is levied are working with the SAP Project Management Office (PMO) and with OMB to implement the SAP. The SAP Portal is a single web-based common application for requesting access to confidential data assets from federal statistical agencies and units. On behalf of BJS and the other federal statistical agencies and units, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) submitted the OMB the recertification request to the currently approved Standard Application Portal (3145-0271. OMB approved the action for an additional three years expiring on December 31, 2028. The data security requirements apply to this form ( https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewRCF?ref_nbr=202512-0535-001CF ).

Once an application for confidential data is approved through the SAP Portal, BJS will collect information to meet its data security requirements when providing access to restricted use (confidential) microdata for the purpose of evidence building. This collection will occur outside of the SAP Portal. BJS's data security agreements and other paperwork along with the corresponding security protocols allow the agency to maintain careful controls on confidentiality and privacy, as required by law. If an application requesting access to an BJS-owned confidential data asset is approved, BJS will contact the applicant(s) to initiate the process of collecting the following information to fulfill its data security requirements:

• Restricted data use agreement —This document is an agreement between BJS's official archive (currently the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data [NACJD]), on behalf of BJS, and the user(s) who is approved to access BJS's confidential data assets exclusively for statistical purposes, including evidence-building, in accordance with the terms and conditions stated in the agreement and all applicable federal laws and regulations. An applicant must submit the appropriate data security plan information to describe how they will protect the data from misuse and unauthorized access. The agreement describes the penalties associated with the misuse or unauthorized access of the data. The agreement requires signature from the applicant(s) and any other representative who has the authority to enter into a legal agreement with NACJD, as applicable.

• Privacy Certificate —Office of Justice Programs regulations at 28 CFR part 22 require that a Privacy Certificate be submitted as part of any application for a project in which information identifiable to a private person will be collected, analyzed, or otherwise used for research or statistical purposes. The Privacy Certificate describes the specific technical, administrative, and physical controls and procedures that will be used to protect data confidentiality and safeguard the data from misuse or unauthorized access. The Privacy Certificate is an applicant's certification to comply with BJS's confidentiality requirements. All individuals who will have access to the confidential BJS data are required to sign a Privacy Certificate to affirm their understanding of and agreement to comply with BJS's confidentiality requirements.

• Data security plan —This document describes the data access modality requested (physical enclave, virtual enclave, or secure download) and the specific data security measures and technical, physical, and administrative controls that will be followed to protect data from unauthorized disclosure and misuse.

• Confidentiality pledge —This document describes the applicant's responsibilities related to accessing restricted data and confidentiality protections the applicant(s) must uphold, including adhering to applicable federal laws and regulations. The assurance requires signature from the applicant(s) and certifies their understanding of and agreement to fulfill the terms in the data use agreement and data security plan.

• Institutional Review Board (IRB) documentation —Users of BJS restricted data must comply with Department of Justice regulations at 28 CFR part 46 (Protection of Human Subjects), including ensuring that adequate protections are in place to protect the confidentiality of information identifiable to a private person. Applicants must submit the appropriate documentation to demonstrate that an IRB has approved or exempted the proposed project using BJS restricted data in accordance with the requirements in 28 CFR part 46.

• Certification of training —Users of BJS restricted data will be required to complete relevant data security, confidentiality, and privacy training, as appropriate, and provide written certification of completion.

5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The amount of time to complete the agreements and other paperwork that comprise BJS's security requirements will vary based on the confidential data assets requested. To obtain access to BJS confidential data assets, it is estimated that the average time to complete and submit BJS's data security agreements, IRB application, and other paperwork is 3 hours (180 minutes). This estimate does not include the time needed to complete and submit an application within the SAP Portal or time waiting to receive from an IRB determination after submitting an application. All efforts related to SAP Portal applications occur prior to and separate from BJS's effort to collect information related to data security requirements.

6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: The expected number of applications in the SAP Portal that receive a positive determination from BJS in a given year may vary. Overall, per year, BJS estimates it will collect data security information for 55 application submissions that received a positive determination within the SAP Portal. BJS estimates that the total burden for the collection of information for data security requirements over the course of the three-year OMB clearance will be about 495 hours and, as a result, an average annual burden of 165 hours.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of the Department of Homeland Security will not approve an employer's petition for the admission of H-2A or H-2B nonimmigrant temporary workers in the U.S. unless the petitioner has received an H-2A or H-2B labor certification from DOL. The labor certification provides that: (1) there are not sufficient U.S. workers who are able, willing, and qualified and who will be available at the time and place needed to perform the labor or services involved in the petition; and (2) the employment of the foreign worker(s) in such labor or services will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of workers in the U.S. similarly employed. See 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(ii)(a) and (b), 1184(c)(1), and 1188(a); 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5) and (6); 20 CFR 655.1(a) and 655.100.

H-2A agricultural employers who are employing workers in occupations other than herding or production of livestock on the range must offer and provide workers three meals per day or free and convenient cooking facilities. 1 See 20 CFR 655.122(g). Where the employer provides the meals, the job offer must state the charge, if any, to the worker for such meals. See id. The amount of meal charges is governed by 20 CFR 655.173.

By regulation, DOL has established the methodology for determining the maximum amount that H-2A agricultural employers may charge workers for providing them with three meals per day. See 20 CFR 655.173(a). This methodology allows for annual adjustments of the previous year's maximum allowable charge based on the updated Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for Food (CPI-U for Food), not seasonally adjusted. See id. The maximum amount employers may charge workers for providing meals is adjusted annually by the 12-month percentage change in the CPI-U for Food for the prior year ( i.e., between December of the year just concluded and December of the prior year). See id. The Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) Certifying Officer may also permit an employer to charge workers a higher amount for providing them with three meals a day if the higher amount is justified and sufficiently documented by the employer, as set forth in 20 CFR 655.173(b).

The percentage change in the CPI-U for Food between December 2024 and December 2025 was 3.1 percent. 2 Thus, the annual update to the H-2A allowable meal charge is calculated by multiplying the current allowable meal charge ($16.28) by the 12-month percentage change in the CPI-U for Food between December 2024 and December 2025 ($16.28 × 1.031 = $16.78). 3 Accordingly, the updated maximum allowable charge under 20 CFR 655.122(g) and 655.173 is $16.78 per day, and an employer is not permitted to charge a worker more than $16.78 per day unless the OFLC Certifying Officer approves a higher charge, as authorized under 20 CFR 655.173(b).

H-2B and H-2A employers must pay reasonable travel and subsistence costs, including the costs of meals and lodging, incurred by workers during travel to the place of employment from the place from which the worker has come to work for the employer and from the place of employment to the place from which the worker departed to work for the employer, as well as any such costs incurred by the worker incident to obtaining a visa authorizing entry to the United States for the purpose of H-2A or H-2B employment. See 20 CFR 655.122(h)(1) and (2) and 655.20(j)(1)(i) and (ii).

Specifically, an H-2A employer is responsible for providing, paying in advance, or reimbursing a worker for the reasonable costs incurred by the worker for transportation and daily travel-related subsistence from the place from which the worker has come to work for the employer, if the worker completes 50 percent of the work contract period. 20 CFR 655.122(h)(1). In general, the employer must provide (or pay at the time of departure) the worker's transportation and daily travel-related subsistence from the place of employment to the place from which the worker departed to work for the employer upon the worker completing the contract or being terminated without cause. 20 CFR 655.122(h)(2).

Similarly, an H-2B employer is responsible for providing, paying in advance, or reimbursing a worker for transportation and daily travel-related subsistence from the place from which the worker has come to work for the employer, if the worker completes 50 percent of the job order period. 20 CFR 655.20(j)(1)(i). Upon the worker completing the job order period or being dismissed early (for any reason), the employer is generally responsible for providing (or paying at the time of departure) the worker's cost of return transportation and daily travel-related subsistence from the place of employment to the place from which the worker departed to work for the employer. 20 CFR 655.20(j)(1)(ii).

The amount of the daily subsistence must be at least the amount permitted in 20 CFR 655.173(a) (or the higher amount approved under 20 CFR 655.173(b), if any). The maximum daily amount an employer is required to reimburse workers for travel-related subsistence, as evidenced with receipts, is equal to the standard Continental United States (CONUS) per diem rate, as established by the General Services Administration (GSA) at 41 CFR part 301, formerly published in Appendix A and now found at https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates. See Maximum Per Diem Reimbursement Rates for the Continental United States (CONUS), 90 FR 40365 (Aug. 19, 2025). The standard CONUS meals and incidental expenses rate is $68.00 per day for 2026, and the standard CONUS lodging rate remains $110.00 per day for 2026. See 90 FR 40365, 40366. Workers who qualify for subsistence reimbursement are entitled to reimbursement for meals and lodging up to the standard CONUS rates when they provide receipts. In determining the appropriate amount of reimbursement for meals for less than a full day, the employer may limit the meal expense reimbursement, with receipts, to 75 percent of the maximum reimbursement for meals, or $51.00, based on the GSA per diem schedule. See https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates. If a worker does not provide receipts, the employer is not obligated to reimburse above the minimum stated at 20 CFR 655.173, as specified above.

In addition, the employer is responsible for those costs necessary for the worker to travel to the place of employment if the worker completes 50 percent of the work contract period. The employer also is responsible for the costs of return transportation. The amount an employer must pay for transportation to and from the place of employment must be no less than (and is not required to be more than) the most economical and reasonable costs. These requirements apply equally to instances where the worker is traveling within the U.S. or internationally to the employer's worksite. See 20 CFR 655.122(h)(1) and (2) and 655.20(j)(1)(i) and (ii).

For further information on when the employer is responsible for lodging costs, please see the DOL's Meal Charges and Travel Subsistence, on OFLC's website at https://flag.dol.gov/wage-data/subsistence-rates, and H-2B Frequently Asked Questions on Job Offers and Employer Obligations, on OFLC's website at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/foreign-labor/faqs/print.

Authority: 20 CFR 655.173.

Pursuant to 39 CFR 3041.405, the Commission gives notice that the Postal Service filed request(s) for the Commission to consider matters related to Competitive negotiated service agreement(s). The request(s) may propose the addition of a negotiated service agreement from the Competitive product list or the modification of an existing product currently appearing on the Competitive product list.

The public portions of the Postal Service's request(s) can be accessed via the Commission's website ( http://www.prc.gov ). Non-public portions of the Postal Service's request(s), if any, can be accessed through compliance with the requirements of 39 CFR 3011.301. 1

• Title of Information Collection: Disclosure of Violations of the Arms Export Control Act.

• OMB Control Number: 1405-0179.

• Type of Request: Extension of a Currently Approved Collection.

• Originating Office: T/PM/DDTC.

• Form Number: DS-7787.

• Respondents: Individuals and companies engaged in the business of exporting, temporarily importing, or brokering, defense articles or defense services who have committed an ITAR violation.

• Estimated Number of Respondents: 14,500.

• Estimated Number of Responses: 600.

• Average Time per Response: 10 hours.

• Total Estimated Burden Time: 6,000 hours.

• Frequency: On occasion.

• Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.

We are soliciting public comments to permit the Department to:

• Evaluate whether the proposed information collection is necessary for the proper functions of the Department.

• Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the time and cost burden for this proposed collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used.

• Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected.

• Minimize the reporting burden on those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Please note that comments submitted in response to this Notice are public record. Before including any detailed personal information, you should be aware that your comments as submitted, including your personal information, will be available for public review.

The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), located in the Political-Military Affairs Bureau of the Department of State, encourages voluntary disclosures of violations of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq. ), its implementing regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR 120-130), and any regulation, order, license, or other authorization issued thereunder. The information disclosed is analyzed by DDTC to ultimately determine whether to take administrative action concerning any violation that may have occurred. Voluntary disclosures may be considered a mitigating factor in determining the administrative penalties, if any, that may be imposed. Failure to report a violation may result in circumstances detrimental to the U.S. national security and foreign policy interests and will be an adverse factor in determining the appropriate disposition of such violations. Also, the activity in question might merit referral to the Department of Justice for consideration of whether criminal prosecution is warranted. In such cases, DDTC will notify the Department of Justice of the voluntary nature of the disclosure, but the Department of Justice is not required to give that fact any weight.

ITAR § 127.12 describes the information which should accompany a voluntary disclosure. Historically, respondents to this information collection submitted their disclosures to DDTC in writing via hard copy documentation. However, as part of an IT modernization project designed to streamline the collection and use of information by DDTC, a discrete form has been developed for the submission of voluntary disclosures. This will allow both DDTC and respondents submitting a disclosure to more easily track submissions.

This information will be collected by electronic submission.

External Research records were no longer created after April 1999 when the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA) merged with the Department of State. All remaining records were transferred to NARA per the record schedule and the system was decommissioned on May 31, 1999.

The FAA invites public comment on the request to release 36.03 acres of airport property at the Strother Field Airport-Industrial Park (WLD) under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). This is a Surplus Property Airport. The Strother Field Commission requested a release from the FAA to sell the land to the Kansas Department of Transportation for the Highway 77 Realignment Project. The FAA determined this request to release and sell property at the Strother Field Airport-Industrial Park (WLD) submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural requirements of the FAA and the release and sale of the property does not and will not impact future aviation needs at the airport. The request to release the National Emergency Use Provision (NEUP) on the 36.03 acres is pending approval by the Department of War. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in part, no sooner than thirty days after the publication of this notice.

The following is a brief overview of the request:

The Strother Field Airport-Industrial Park (WLD) is proposing the release and sale of 36.03 acres of airport property. The release of land is necessary to comply with Federal Aviation Administration Grant Assurances that do not allow federally conveyed airport property to be used for non-aviation purposes. The sale of the subject property will result in the land at the Strother Field Airport-Industrial Park (WLD) being changed from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and release the lands from the conditions of the Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement Grant Assurances in order to sell the land. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will receive fair market value for the property, and the proceeds of the sale will be used to retire airport bonds.

Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . In addition, any person may request an appointment to inspect the application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be related to the application in person at the Strother Field Airport.
