Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 23 / Thursday, February 3, 2022 / Notices 6175 

percent is carried by Canadian flagged 

vessels? Please specify the metrics used 

to quantify the answer. 

B. The impact of the final Canadian 

regulation. The Commission believes 

that the phased implementation of the 

Canadian rule could delay, and possibly 

eliminate, the impacts of the rule on a 

portion of U.S. flagged vessels. The 

Commission seeks specific information 

about the types of impacts and the 

timing of those impacts relative to the 

2024 and 2030 implementation dates. 

The Commission also seeks information 

about the overall impact, if any, of final 

Canadian regulation on the 

Commission’s consideration of the 

Petition: 

Contractual Impacts: Will the final 

Canadian regulation affect the ability of 

U.S. flag vessels to negotiate contracts 

for the U.S./Canada trade? What are the 

specific or estimated economic impacts? 

When will any economic impacts first 

be realized? 

Repair/Design Impacts: At what date 

will affected U.S. flag vessels be 

impacted by vessel repair/design 

considerations in order to achieve 

compliance with the Canadian 

regulations? What are the estimated 

costs of compliance under the final 

Canadian regulation? 

Business Model: Will the final 

Canadian rule drive any changes in 

business models for U.S. flagged 

vessels? 

For any impacts identified above, 

please be specific as to when an 

economic impact will present and upon 

what data the impact is based. Please 

identify any distinctions in impacts 

based on type of cargo, vessel, 

expiration date of contract, 

implementation date of proposed 

contract or type of carriage agreement. 

C. Other considerations. The 

Commission’s role in this investigation 

is solely to determine if there exist 

‘‘conditions unfavorable to shipping in 

foreign trade’’ under 46 U.S.C. 41201. In 

making this determination there are 

other matters that may be outside the 

control or the authority of the 

Commission but nevertheless should be 

considered during the Commission’s 

investigation and recommendations. 

EPA Rule: How should the 

Commission consider the status of the 

EPA’s proposed rule? 

International Convention: Is the 2004 

Ballast Water Management Convention 

(International Convention for the 

Control and Management of Ships’ 

Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004) 

relevant to this Petition? Is the Canadian 

rule required or optional under the 

Convention? Have other parties to the 

Convention enacted a similar provision? 

Developments: What industry or 

scientific developments have an impact 

on this Petition? Have there been any 

relevant developments since the 

Commission’s initial request for 

comments in June 2020? 

Changes: Have any of the analyses or 

projections provided to the Commission 

by the Petitioner changed? If so, provide 

the Commission with any data that has 

changed since the filing of the Petition 

and that has not been captured through 

answers to the questions above. 

D. Commission’s future actions. The 

Commission’s investigation is ongoing 

and will consider all relevant 

information and potential actions, 

including: 

Other Information: Do other sources 

of relevant information or data exist that 

should be considered? Where is that 

information/data located? 

Fee: The original petition requested 

that the Commission issue a regulation 

that would assess a fee of 300,000.00 

U.S. dollars each time a Canadian vessel 

enters any U.S. port. Is this request still 

valid and are there other corrective 

actions that should be considered, 

including requests to other agencies 

under 46 U.S.C. 42102(a)? 

Comments in response to the 

questions above, or other feedback, 

should include objectively quantifiable 

data to back up any numerical or 

statistical information provided rather 

than generalized information/arguments 

for or against the petition. 

By the Commission. 

Issued: January 28, 2022.

6176 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 23 / Thursday, February 3, 2022 / Notices 

CMS–10036—IRF–PAI for the 

Collection of Data Pertaining to the 

Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility 

Prospective Payment System and 

Quality Reporting Program 

Under the 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 

requires federal agencies to publish a 

60-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. 

Information Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: IRF–PAI for the 

Collection of Data Pertaining to the 

Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility 

Prospective Payment System and 

Quality Reporting Program; Use: We are 

requesting an extension of the Inpatient 

Rehabilitation Facility-Patient 

Assessment Instrument (IRF–PAI) 

Version 4.0 that will be effective on 

October 1, 2022. On November 2, 2021, 

we issued a final rule (86 FR 62240) 

which finalized proposed modifications 

to the effective date for the reporting of 

measures and certain standardized 

patient assessment data in the Inpatient 

Rehabilitation Facility Quality 

Reporting Program (IRF QRP). Per the 

final rule CMS will require IRFs to start 

collecting assessment data using IRF– 

PAI Version 4.0 beginning October 1, 

2022. 

The information collection request for 

IRF PAI 4.0 was re-approved on 

December 15, 2021 with an October 1, 

2022 implementation date. CMS is 

asking for an extension of the approved 

IRF–PAI Version 4.0, which expires on 

December 31, 2022. The burden 

associated with this requirement is staff 

time required to complete and encode 

the data from the IRF–PAI. The burden 

associated with collecting and 

transmitting the data is unaffected by 

the proposed extension to the 

assessment instrument. 

The IRF–PAI is required by the CMS 

as part of the Inpatient Rehabilitation 

Facility Prospective Payment System 

(IRF PPS). CMS uses the data to 

determine the payment for each 

Medicare Part A fee-for-service patient 

and Medicare Part C (Medicare 

Advantage) admitted to an inpatient 

rehabilitation unit or hospital. The IRF– 

PAI is also used to gather data for the 

IRF Quality Reporting Program (IRF 

QRP). Form Number: CMS–10036 (OMB 

control number: 0938–0842); Frequency: 

Annually; Affected Public: Private 

Sector: Business and for-profit and Notfor-profit, State, Local or Tribal 

Government and Federal Government; 

Number of Respondents: 1,122; Total 

Annual Responses: 411,622; Total 

Annual Hours: 704,747. For policy 

questions regarding this collection,

Administration for Children and 

Families 

Submission for OMB Review; ACF 

Uniform Project Description (UPD) 

AGENCY: Office of Administration, Office 

of Grants Policy, Administration for 

Children and Families, HHS. 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) is 

requesting a 3-year extension of the ACF 

Uniform Project Description (UPD) 

(OMB #0970–0139, expiration 2/28/ 

2022). There are no changes requested 

to the form. ACF expects to submit a 

request for revisions in 2022, which will 

include standard comment periods. 

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of 

publication. OMB must make a decision 

about the collection of information 

between 30 and 60 days after 

publication of this document in the 

Federal Register. Therefore, a comment 

is best assured of having its full effect 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to 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. You can also request 

copies of the proposed collection of 

information by emailing infocollection@

acf.hhs.gov. Identify all requests by the 

title of the information collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: The proposed 

information collection would renew the 

ACF UPD. The UPD provides a uniform 

format for applicants to submit project 

information in response to ACF 

discretionary Notices of Funding 

Opportunities. The UPD requires 

applicants to describe how program 

objectives will be achieved and provide 

a rationale for the project’s budgeted 

costs. All ACF discretionary grant 

programs are required to use the UPD. 

ACF uses this information, along with 

other OMB-approved information 

collections (Standard Forms), to 

evaluate and rank applications. Use of 

the UPD protects the integrity of the 

ACF award selection process. 

Respondents: Applicants responding 

to ACF Discretionary Notices of 

Funding Opportunities.
