What is an ICR?

An Information Collection Request (ICR) is a federal agency's request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information from the public. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), agencies must justify why the information is needed and how it will be used.

When are they submitted?

Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify an information collection. Each ICR includes a description of the collection, supporting materials and documentation (such as forms, surveys, or scripts), and proof that the agency has met the requirements of the PRA.

The ICR is submitted to the The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within OMB for review and approval. OIRA grants approval for a maximum of three years, after which the collection must be renewed through a new ICR submission.

Where to find an ICR

ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.

Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and September 22, 2026.

West Coast Region Gear Identification Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for revision of the current collection for the West Coast Gear Identification Requirements pursuant to rule 0648-BN00. This rulemaking implements gear marking requirements and entanglement risk reduction measures for portions of the Pacific coast groundfish fishery that operates in the EEZ. This rulemaking will consist of mandatory requirements and voluntary measures. These new requirements and voluntary measures will be established pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The intent of the gear marking requirements is to increase the likelihood of attributing entanglements to a specific fishery and gear type. The intent of the risk reduction measures is to reduce bycatch by decreasing the likelihood of marine animal entanglements with fishing line. This rulemaking, in part, responds to increased rates of entanglement of humpback whales with Pacific coast fishing gear since 2014. The gear marking component of this rulemaking is one facet of a broader, coordinated effort to mark gear in multiple fisheries that occur off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. NMFS requested public comment on these proposed requirements and voluntary measures and received two comments related to estimates of costs and burden hours.

Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA

Key Information

Abstract

USCIS uses the data collected on Form I-864 to determine whether the sponsor has the ability to support the sponsored alien under section 213A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). This form standardizes evaluation of a sponsor’s ability to support the sponsored alien and ensures that basic information required to assess eligibility is provided by petitioners. Form I-864A is a contract between the sponsor and the sponsor’s household members. It is only required if the sponsor used the income of his or her household members to reach the required 125 percent of the Federal poverty guidelines. The contract holds these household members jointly and severally liable for the support of the sponsored immigrant. The information collection required on Form I-864A is necessary for public benefit agencies to enforce the Affidavit of Support in the event the sponsor used income of his or her household members to reach the required income level and the public benefit agencies are requesting reimbursement from the sponsor. USCIS uses Form I-864EZ in exactly the same way as Form I-864; however, less information is collected from the sponsors as less information is needed from those who qualify in order to make a thorough adjudication. USCIS uses Form I-864W to determine whether the intending immigrant meets the criteria for exemption of section 213A requirements. This form collects the immigrant’s basic information, such as name and address, the reason for the exemption, and accompanying documentation in support of the immigrant’s claim that they are not subject to section 213A.

Data System for Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network

Key Information

Abstract

Section 372(a) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide for the establishment and operation of the OPTN. On behalf of HRSA, the OPTN oversees the United States (U.S.) organ procurement and transplantation system. Among its statutory responsibilities, the OPTN maintains the national waiting list of individuals awaiting organ transplantation, operates the computerized system that matches donor organs with transplant candidates, and maintains a 24-hour system to facilitate organ matching and placement. In accordance with Section 372(b)(2)(I) of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. § 274(b)(2)(I)), the OPTN must also collect, analyze, and publish data concerning organ procurement and transplantation. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) seeks OMB approval for revisions to the Data System for the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) information collection and the associated forms listed in Section 12. The proposed revisions include updates to existing data collection forms approved by the OPTN Board of Directors (BOD) to improve organ matching, organ allocation, and compliance with OPTN policies. This request also adds two new forms to the information collection: the Patient Safety Contact Management Form and the Patient Transfer Form (Forms 151 and 152 in the burden table in Section 12). The Patient Safety Contact Management Form enables OPTN members to identify their organization's primary and secondary patient safety contacts. The Patient Transfer Form enables transplant centers to document and facilitate the transfer of patients to another transplant center following transplantation and during the annual post-transplant follow-up period.

Trademark Petitions

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) administers the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., which provides for the registration of trademarks, service marks, collective trademarks and collective service marks, collective membership marks, and certification marks. Individuals and businesses that use or intend to use such marks in commerce may file an application to register their marks with the USPTO. This information collection covers various trademark related communications to the USPTO, including letters of protest, requests to make special, responses to petition inquiry letters, petitions to make special, requests to restore a filing date, and requests for reinstatement. The information is used by the public for a variety of private business purposes related to establishing and enforcing trademark rights. Information relating to the registration of a trademark is made available to the public by the USPTO. However, the release of information in a letter of protest is controlled and may be available only upon request. A letter of protest is a procedure whereby third parties who object to the registration of a mark in a pending application may bring to the attention of the USPTO evidence bearing on the registrability of the mark. A letter of protest must identify the application being protested and the proposed grounds for refusing registration and include relevant evidence to support the protest. A request to make special may be submitted where an applicant requests that initial examination of an application be advanced out of its regular order because the mark in the application was the subject of an inadvertently cancelled or expired previous registration. A response to a petition inquiry letter is submitted by a petitioner who is responding to a notice of deficiency that the USPTO issued after receiving an incomplete petition to the Director. A petition may be considered incomplete if, for example, it does not include the fee required by 37 CFR 2.6 or if it includes an unverified assertion that is not supported by evidence. The USPTO generally examines applications in the order in which they are received. A petition to make special is a request by the applicant to advance the initial examination of an application out of its regular order. A request to restore a filing date is submitted by an applicant who previously filed an application that was denied a filing date. The request must include evidence showing that the applicant is entitled to the earlier filing date. If an applicant has proof that an application was abandoned due to a USPTO error, an applicant may file a request to reinstate the application instead of a petition to revive. To support such a request, the applicant must include evidence of the USPTO error.

Submissions of 1135 Waiver Request Automated Process (CMS-10752)

Key Information

Abstract

Waivers under Section 1135 of the Social Security Act (the Act) and certain flexibilities allow the CMS to relax certain requirements, known as the Conditions of Participation (CoPs) or Conditions of Coverage to promote the health and safety of beneficiaries. Under Section 1135 of the Act, the Secretary may temporarily waive or modify certain Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) requirements to ensure that sufficient health care services are available to meet the needs of individuals enrolled in Social Security Act programs in the emergency area and time periods. These waivers ensure that providers who provide such services in good faith can be reimbursed and exempted from sanctions. During emergencies, such as the current COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), CMS must be able to apply program waivers and flexibilities under section 1135 of the Social Security Act, in a timely manner to respond quickly to unfolding events. In a disaster or emergency, waivers and flexibilities assist health care providers/suppliers in providing timely healthcare and services to people who have been affected and enables states, Federal districts, and U.S. territories to ensure Medicare and/or Medicaid beneficiaries have continued access to care. During disasters and emergencies, it is not uncommon to evacuate Medicare-participating facilities and relocate patients/residents to other provider settings or across state lines, especially, during hurricane and tornado events. CMS must collect relevant information for which a provider is requesting a waiver or flexibility to make proper decisions about approving or denying such requests. Collection of this data aids in the prevention of gaps in access to care and services before, during, and after an emergency. CMS must also respond to inquiries related to a PHE from providers and beneficiaries. CMS is not collecting information from these inquiries; we are merely responding to them.

Applicant Organizational National Provider Identifiers and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Certification Numbers Form

Key Information

Abstract

HRSA is proposing a new form to collect organizational National Provider Identifiers (Type 2 NPIs) and CMS Certification Numbers (CCNs) from organizations that apply for HRSA award funding through Grants.gov. This collection is authorized under section 301 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241), which authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct and support research, investigations, experiments, demonstrations, and studies relating to the causes, diagnosis, treatment, control, and prevention of disease, and to collect and make available information on those activities, including the provision of technical assistance on statistical methods. The authority for this collection is 42 U.S.C. 241. The form will be completed as part of the Grants.gov funding application. This collection is limited to organizational identifiers and will only collect an NPI and/or CCN only from organizations that already have one. An organization is not required to have, or to obtain, an NPI or CCN in order to apply for or receive HRSA funding, and individual applicants (persons) are not asked to provide an individual (Type 1) NPI. The purpose of this proposed collection is to strengthen the evidence HRSA uses to understand how it meets its mission of improving health outcomes through access to quality services, a skilled health workforce, and innovative, high-value programs. The circumstance making this collection necessary is that HRSA currently lacks an identifier that reliably and consistently identifies funded organizations across its many programs and across externally available healthcare delivery system data. All applicants for HRSA funding through Grants.gov must obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov before beginning a funding application. The UEI identifies the legal entity that receives an award, but it is not used in healthcare transactions and does not appear in CMS claims, encounter, certification, or quality datasets. As a result, HRSA cannot use the UEI to connect its award and program data to the external healthcare delivery system. Organizational NPIs and CCNs address this gap because they are already embedded as standard provider-identity keys in widely used, publicly available CMS datasets.
