impacts, in the short- and long-term?
Would utilization of OTC preventive
products significantly replace
utilization of non-OTC preventive
products among participants,
beneficiaries, and enrollees? Would
there be an impact on the cost of nonOTC preventive products? What are the
estimated initial and ongoing time and
cost burdens on (or savings for) plans,
issuers, plan sponsors, third-party
administrators, PBMs, and retailers if
plans and issuers were required to cover
OTC preventive products without cost
sharing and without a prescription by a
health care provider?
• How would a requirement for plans
and issuers to cover OTC preventive
products without cost sharing and
without a prescription by a health care
provider affect price negotiations,
pricing decisions, market power,
discount or rebate programs, and
marketing practices for these products?
Would the costs to plans, issuers, thirdparty administrators, PBMs, and
providers vary for small versus large
entities? If so, what are the impacts for
small entities as compared to large
entities? What would the net impact of
these changes be on prices for and the
availability of OTC preventive products?
• To what degree would any potential
increases in costs or premiums
associated with a requirement for plans
and issuers to cover OTC preventive
products without cost sharing and
without a prescription by a health care
provider be offset by greater access to
OTC preventive products (for example,
due to improved health outcomes from
greater uptake of recommended
preventive products, or fewer office
visits as a result of participants,
beneficiaries, and enrollees no longer
requiring an office visit to obtain a
prescription for OTC preventive
products)?
• Identify and provide estimates
related to the potential societal and
economic impacts (for example,
benefits, costs, and transfers) on
individuals and families, as well as on
health care providers, if OTC preventive
products were required to be covered
without cost sharing and without a
prescription by a health care provider.
Would these impacts vary based on
region, state, socioeconomic status, race,
sex, age, insured status, or other factors?
For example, would there be potential
reductions in unintended pregnancies
or maternal deaths due to participants,
beneficiaries, and enrollees no longer
requiring a prescription for OTC oral
contraceptives? As another example,
would there be increases in the length
of time that children are breastfed if
OTC preventive products such as

breastfeeding supplies were required to
be covered without cost sharing and
without a prescription by a health care
provider? Would smoking cessation
rates improve with increased access to
OTC tobacco cessation products?
• Identify and provide any
information regarding the potential
impact on health outcomes and quality
of life of participants, beneficiaries, and
enrollees if plans and issuers were
required to cover OTC preventive
products without cost sharing and
without a prescription by a health care
provider.
• Identify and provide estimates
related to the potential economic
impacts (short- and long-term) on health
care providers, retailers, and
pharmacists if OTC preventive products
were required to be covered without
cost sharing and without a prescription
by a health care provider. How would
the claim processing burden for health
care providers, retailers, and
pharmacists change? How would the
number of visits to health care
providers, retailers, and pharmacists
change?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Explanation of
Provisions
Interim final regulations in the Rules
and Regulations section of this issue of
the Federal Register amend regulations
under 26 CFR part 300 setting a user fee
for individuals who apply for or renew
a PTIN. The Independent Offices
Appropriation Act of 1952 (IOAA),
which is codified at 31 U.S.C. 9701,
authorizes agencies to prescribe
regulations that establish user fees for
services provided by the agency. The
IOAA provides that regulations
implementing user fees are subject to
policies prescribed by the President;
these policies are set forth in the Office
of Management and Budget Circular A–
25, 58 FR 38142 (July 15, 1993). The text
of the interim final regulations also
serves as the text of these proposed
regulations. The preamble to the interim
final regulations explains the interim
final regulations and these proposed
regulations.
Special Analyses
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
I. Regulatory Planning and Review
The OMB’s Office of Information and
Regulatory Analysis has determined that
this regulation is not significant and
subject to review under section 6(b) of
Executive Order 12866.
II. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6), it is hereby
certified that these proposed regulations
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The proposed regulations affect
individuals who prepare or assist in
preparing all or substantially all of a tax
return or claim for refund for
compensation. Only individuals, not
businesses, can have a PTIN. Thus, the
economic impact of these regulations on
any small entity generally will be a
result of an individual tax return
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:06 Oct 03, 2023
Jkt 262001
preparer who is required to have a PTIN
owning a small business or a small
business otherwise employing an
individual tax return preparer who is
required to have a PTIN. The Treasury
Department and the IRS estimate that
approximately 847,555 individuals will
apply annually for an initial or renewal
PTIN. Although the interim final
regulations will likely affect a
substantial number of small entities, the
economic impact on those entities is not
significant. The interim final regulations
will establish an $11 fee per application
or renewal (plus $8.75 payable directly
to the contractor), which is a reduction
from the previously established fee and
will not have a significant economic
impact on a small entity. Accordingly,
the Secretary certifies that the rule will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small
entities, and a regulatory flexibility
analysis is not required.
III. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Section 202 of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA)
requires that agencies assess anticipated
costs and benefits and take certain other
actions before issuing a final rule that
includes any Federal mandate that may
result in expenditures in any one year
by a State, local, or Tribal government,
in the aggregate, or by the private sector,
of $100 million in 1995 dollars, updated
annually for inflation. This rule does
not include any Federal mandate that
may result in expenditures by State,
local, or Tribal governments, or by the
private sector in excess of that
threshold.
IV. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132 (Federalism)
prohibits an agency from publishing any
rule that has federalism implications if
the rule either imposes substantial,
direct compliance costs on State and
local governments, and is not required
by statute, or preempts State law, unless
the agency meets the consultation and
funding requirements of section 6 of the
Executive order. These proposed
regulations do not have federalism
implications and do not impose
substantial direct compliance costs on
State and local governments or preempt
State law within the meaning of the
Executive order.
V. Submission to Small Business
Administration
Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the
Internal Revenue Code, this notice of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Copyright Act provides that the
Copyright Royalty Judges (Judges)
commence a proceeding every fifth year
to determine royalty rates and terms for
the recording of ephemeral copies of
sound recordings pursuant to the
statutory license in 17 U.S.C. 112(e)(1)
to facilitate digital audio transmissions
of those sound recordings to business
establishments pursuant to the
limitation on exclusive rights specified
by 17 U.S.C. 114(d)(1)(C)(iv). See 17
U.S.C. 804(b)(2).
In accordance with section 804(b)(2),
the Judges commenced the proceeding
to set rates and terms for the period
2024–2028 on January 5, 2022 (87 FR
490). In the Federal Register notice, the
Judges requested that interested parties
submit petitions to participate. Petitions

USA Inc. The Judges initiated the threemonth negotiation period and directed
the participants to submit written direct
statements no later than September 19,
2022. See 17 U.S.C. 803(b)(3).
On September 19, 2022, the Judges
received a Motion to Adopt Settlement

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Explanation of Provisions
Interim final regulations in the Rules and Regulations section of
this issue of the Federal Register amend regulations under 26 CFR part
300 setting a user fee for individuals who apply for or renew a PTIN.
The Independent Offices Appropriation Act of 1952 (IOAA), which is
codified at 31 U.S.C. 9701, authorizes agencies to prescribe
regulations that establish user fees for services provided by the
agency. The IOAA provides that regulations implementing user fees are
subject to policies prescribed by the President; these policies are set
forth in the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-25, 58 FR 38142
(July 15, 1993). The text of the interim final regulations also serves
as the text of these proposed regulations. The preamble to the interim
final regulations explains the interim final regulations and these
proposed regulations.
Special Analyses
I. Regulatory Planning and Review
The OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Analysis has
determined that this regulation is not significant and subject to
review under section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866.
II. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6), it
is hereby certified that these proposed regulations will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
The proposed regulations affect individuals who prepare or assist in
preparing all or substantially all of a tax return or claim for refund
for compensation. Only individuals, not businesses, can have a PTIN.
Thus, the economic impact of these regulations on any small entity
generally will be a result of an individual tax return preparer who is
required to have a PTIN owning a small business or a small business
otherwise employing an individual tax return preparer who is required
to have a PTIN. The Treasury Department and the IRS estimate that
approximately 847,555 individuals will apply annually for an initial or
renewal PTIN. Although the interim final regulations will likely affect
a substantial number of small entities, the economic impact on those
entities is not significant. The interim final regulations will
establish an $11 fee per application or renewal (plus $8.75 payable
directly to the contractor), which is a reduction from the previously
established fee and will not have a significant economic impact on a
small entity. Accordingly, the Secretary certifies that the rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities, and a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
III. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA)
requires that agencies assess anticipated costs and benefits and take
certain other actions before issuing a final rule that includes any
Federal mandate that may result in expenditures in any one year by a
State, local, or Tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private
sector, of $100 million in 1995 dollars, updated annually for
inflation. This rule does not include any Federal mandate that may
result in expenditures by State, local, or Tribal governments, or by
the private sector in excess of that threshold.
IV. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132 (Federalism) prohibits an agency from
publishing any rule that has federalism implications if the rule either
imposes substantial, direct compliance costs on State and local
governments, and is not required by statute, or preempts State law,
unless the agency meets the consultation and funding requirements of
section 6 of the Executive order. These proposed regulations do not
have federalism implications and do not impose substantial direct
compliance costs on State and local governments or preempt State law
within the meaning of the Executive order.
V. Submission to Small Business Administration
Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, this
notice of proposed rulemaking has been submitted to the Chief Counsel
of the Office of Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for
comment on its impact on small business.
Comments and Requests for a Public Hearing
Consideration will be given to comments that are submitted timely

The Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on all aspects of
the proposed regulations. Any comments submitted will be made available
at https://www.regulations.gov or upon request.
