SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Summary of Benefits and Coverage and
Uniform Glossary Required Under the
Affordable Care Act information
collection. Section 2715 of the PHS Act
directs the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), the Department
of Labor (DOL), and the Department of
the Treasury (collectively, the
Departments), in consultation with the
National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC) and a working
group comprised of stakeholders, to
‘‘develop standards for use by a group
health plan and a health insurance
issuer in compiling and providing to
applicants, enrollees, and policyholders
and certificate holders a summary of
benefits and coverage explanation that
accurately describes the benefits and
coverage under the applicable plan or
coverage.’’ To implement these
disclosure requirements, collection of
information requests relate to the
provision of the following: Summary of
benefits and coverage, which includes
coverage examples; a uniform glossary
of health coverage and medical terms,
and a notice of modifications. Public
Law 111–148 Section 2714 (Affordable
Care Act) authorizes this information
collection. See 29 CFR 2520.104b–10.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:16 Apr 12, 2019
Jkt 247001
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1210–0147.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
04/30/2019. The DOL seeks to extend
PRA authorization for this information
collection for three (3) more years,
without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on 10/
23/2018 (83 FR 53500).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1210–0147. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• 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;
• 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;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• 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 submission of
responses.

ACTION: Notice of information
collection—renewal.
AGENCY:
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing information collections.
DATES: All comments should be
submitted within 60 calendar days from
the date of this publication.
ADDRESSES: All comments should be
addressed to Gatrie Johnson, National
Aeronautics and Space Administration,

Requests for additional information or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This is a request to renew OMB
control number 2700–0092. This
collection is required to ensure proper
accounting of Federal funds and
property provided under financial
assistance awards (grants and
cooperative agreements). Reporting and
recordkeeping are prescribed at 2 CFR
part 1800 for awards issued to
nonprofits, institutions of higher
educations, government, and
commercial firms when cost sharing is
not required and 14 CFR part 1274 for
awards issued to commercial firms
when cost sharing is required.
II. Methods of Collection
Proposals are submitted through the
NASA Solicitation and Proposal
E:\FR\FM\15APN1.SGM
15APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 72 / Monday, April 15, 2019 / Notices
Integrated Review and Evaluation
System (NSPIRES) or Grants.gov. The
use of these systems reduces the need
for proposers to submit multiple copies
to the agency. It allows proposers to
submit multiple proposals to different
funding announcements without
registering each time. Electronic funds
transfer is used for payment under
Treasury guidance, for commercial firms
and through the HHS Payment
Management System (PMS) for other
recipients. In addition, NASA
encourages the use of computer
technology and is participating in
Federal efforts to extend the use of
information technology to more
Government processes.
Basis of Estimate.
Approximately 6,100 NASA financial
assistance awards are open at any one
time. It is estimated that out of the 7,100
proposals received each year, NASA
awards approximately 1,600 new
awards. The period of performance for
each financial assistance award is
usually three to five years. NASA had
approximately 120 awards with
commercial firms. Commercial firms
submit quarterly payment requests
directly to NASA, while other recipients
submit the Federal Financial Reports
(SF 425) on a quarterly basis to the HHS
PMS. Performance, Property, and Patent
Reports are filed annually. Historical
records indicate that, on average, 1,625
changes are submitted annually. The
total number of respondents is based on
the average number of proposals that are
received each year and the average
number of active grants that are
managed each year. The total number of
hours spent on each task was estimated
through historical records and
experience of former recipients. Using
past calculations, the total cost was
estimated using the average salary
(wages and benefits) for a GS–12 step 5.

IV. Request for Comments
I. Abstract
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of NASA, including
whether the information collected has
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
NASA’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (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 automated
collection techniques or the use of other
forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection.
They will also become a matter of
public record.
To ensure accurate reporting of
Government-owned, contractor-held
property on the financial statements and
to provide information necessary for
effective property management in
accordance with FAR Part 45, NASA
obtains summary data annually from the
official Government property records
maintained by its contractors. The
information is submitted via the NASA
Form 1018, at the end of each fiscal
year.
