Change Requests

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.

Facility Access Media (FAM) Request, formerly Identification Card Request

Key Information

Abstract

The information collection is needed to issue a building pass to NARA volunteers and employees of NARA contractors so that they can enter NARA facilities to perform their duties. NARA uses the information to ensure that only authorized persons have access. All individuals requiring recurring access to non-public areas of NARA’s facilities and IT network must obtain NARA Facility Access Media (FAM). To obtain FAM, they must complete and submit the Facility Access Media (FAM) Request, NA Form 6006 (formerly called Identification Card Request, but changed in this renewal to comply with Government-wide terminology changes). Such individuals include NARA employees, contractors, volunteers, NARA-related foundation employees, foundation volunteers, interns, and other non-NARA Federal employees, such as Federal agency reviewers. People requesting FAM are referred to as “applicants.” If we approve the request, the applicant receives a FAM, which provides access to the non-public areas of NARA’s facilities and IT network. FAM can take different forms, including keys, access codes, and identification cards, among others.

Premarket Notification Submission 510(k), Subpart E

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR collects information from persons who intend to market a medical device. Based on the information provided in the premarket notification (510(k)) submission, FDA determines whether a new device provides reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed device and whether the device can, therefore, be allowed to enter the U.S. market. Because the review of 510(k) submissions confirms that the new device is as safe and as effective as legally marketed predicate devices, potentially unsafe and/or ineffective devices, including those with fraudulent claims, are prevented from entering the U.S. market.

Application for Grants under the Upward Bound Program (1894-0001)

Key Information

Abstract

The Department is requesting an extension of the application used to make new grants under the Upward Bound (UB) Program. This application will be used to conduct the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 competition for new awards and collect data under the UB Program. The UB Program provides grants to institutions of higher education, public and private agencies and organizations, community-based organizations with experience in serving disadvantaged youth, combinations of such institutions, agencies and organizations, and secondary schools. Upward Bound provides fundamental support to participants in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their precollege performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits. Upward Bound serves: high school students from low-income families; and high school students from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor's degree. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education. This discretionary grant falls under the streamlined grant process, 1894-0001, which waives the 60-day comment period (P.L. 104-13, Section 3505(a)(2)).

Quality Bonus Payment Appeals (CMS-10346)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1853(o) of the Social Security Act requires us to make Quality Bonus Payments (QBPs) to Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations that achieve performance rating scores of at least 4 stars under a five star rating system. Beginning in 2012, the star ratings we assign for purposes of QBPs under section 1858(o) of the Act will directly affect the monthly payment amount MA organizations receive from us under their contracts. In effect, this information collection request addresses a review process through which MA organizations may seek review of determinations governing their star rating ("QBP status") when the MA organization's rating is less than 4 stars. Regarding the appeals process, MA organizations have 5 calendar days from the date of CMS' release of its QBP determinations to request a technical report from CMS explaining the development of their QBP status. The technical report will be provided in writing by electronic mail to the MA organization and CMS within 30 days of CMS' receipt of the organization's request for the report by the technical report contractor. If, after reviewing the technical report, the MA organization believes that CMS was incorrect in its QBP determination, within 7 calendar days, the MA organization may request an appeal to be conducted by a hearing officer designated by CMS. The hearing officer's decision would be final and binding on both the MA organization and CMS. The hearing officer will be required to issue his/her decision on or before May 15 of the year preceding the year in which the plans for which the QBP is to be applied will be offered.

Abstract

CMS designed the ICH CAHPS survey and measures to enable dialysis patients to make more informed decisions when choosing a dialysis facility, to aid facilities in their quality improvement efforts, and to help CMS monitor the performance of dialysis facilities. CMS publicly reports clinical quality measures and patient experience of care survey results for kidney dialysis centers on Care Compare on Medicare.gov. Public reporting of ICH CAHPS data is refreshed in April and October, with each refresh including a rolling average of the two most recent survey periods available. Both clinical and patient experience of care quality measures enable patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) to make informed decisions when choosing a dialysis facility. The ICH CAHPS survey fulfills a requirement of the ESRD Quality Incentive Program (QIP).

Key Information

Abstract

This supporting statement is being filed in connection with a final rule that issues regulations to implement the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (12 U.S.C. 5901 et seq.) (GENIUS Act or the Act) regarding the issuance of payment stablecoins and certain related activities by entities subject to the OCC’s jurisdiction. The GENIUS Act was enacted on July 18, 2025. The Act establishes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoin activities. The Act generally prohibits any person other than a permitted payment stablecoin issuer from issuing a payment stablecoin in the United States. It further prohibits digital asset service providers from offering or selling a payment stablecoin to a person in the United States unless the issuer is a permitted payment stablecoin issuer or the issuer is a foreign payment stablecoin issuer that meets certain requirements. The Act sets forth various regulatory and licensing requirements for permitted payment stablecoin issuers and foreign payment stablecoin issuers.

AM Measurement Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) is revising this Information Collection to reflect the FCC’s September 22, 2017, adoption of the Third Report and Order in MB Docket No. 13-249, FCC 17-119, In the Matter of Revitalization of AM Radio Service (AMR Third R&O). In the 2015 AM revitalization proceeding, the FCC proposed streamlining certain technical requirements to assist AM broadcasters in providing radio service to consumers. For example, many AM stations must directionalize their signals during some or all of the broadcast day in order to avoid interference with other AM stations. Maintaining a directional signal pattern can be technically complex, time-consuming, and expensive. Such stations are subject to a variety of rules requiring signal strength measurements and other engineering analyses to ensure compliance with their authorizations. In the AMR Third R&O, the FCC eliminated, clarified, or eased several of the rules governing AM stations using directional antenna arrays, which comprise almost 40 percent of all AM stations. First, the FCC relaxed the rule for partial proofs of performance of certain directional AM antenna systems, by reducing the number of field strength measurements required. Second, the FCC modified several rules pertaining to AM stations that use Method of Moments (MoM) models of directional array performance. MoM modeling allows broadcasters to verify antenna system performance through computer modeling, as opposed to sending engineers in the field to take field strength measurements. Thus, a proof using a MoM model is less expensive than taking field strength measurements of an AM station’s directional pattern.

Abstract

On December 13, 2011, the FCC released a Report & Order ("R&O"), FCC 11-182, adopting rules to implement the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation ("CALM") Act. Among other things, the CALM Act directs the Commission to incorporate into its rules by reference and make mandatory a technical standard developed by an industry standard-setting body that is designed to prevent television commercial advertisements from being transmitted at louder volumes than the program material they accompany. Specifically, the CALM Act requires the Commission to incorporate by reference the Advanced Television Systems Committee ("ATSC") A/85 Recommended Practice ("ATSC A/85 RP") and make it mandatory "insofar as such recommended practice concerns the transmission of commercial advertisements by a television broadcast station, cable operator, or other multichannel video programming distributor." As mandated by the statute, the rules will apply to TV broadcasters, cable operators and other multichannel video programming distributors ("MVPDs").

Manufacturers' Shipments, Inventories, and Orders Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Census Bureau is requesting an extension of the currently approved collection for the Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories, and Orders (M3) survey. The M3 survey is sent each month to a panel of manufacturing companies with establishments located in the U.S. and classified in the manufacturing sector as defined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The survey began in 1957 as a monthly survey for activity taking place during the previous month. The M3 survey was developed in response to requests by government, business, and other users to provide an early indication of current manufacturing activity in the U.S. The M3 survey is designed to measure current industrial activity and to provide an indication of future production commitments. Shipments, new and unfilled orders, and inventories data provide a current statistical measurement of the domestic manufacturing sector in the U.S. economy. The value of shipments measures the value of goods delivered during the month by domestic manufacturers. Estimates of new orders serve as an indicator of future production commitments and represent the current sales value of new orders received during the month, net of cancellations. Substantial accumulation or depletion of unfilled orders measures excess (or deficient) demand for manufactured products. The level of inventory, especially in relation to shipments, is frequently used to monitor the business cycle. Manufacturing is a vital sector to the U.S. economy contributing to job creation, innovation, and national security.

Transparency in Pricing Information (CMS-10715)

Key Information

Abstract

The information collection requirements contained in the proposed rule titled “Transparency in Coverage,” published November 27, 2019 (84 FR 65464), would require group health plans and health insurance issuers offering coverage in the individual and group markets to disclose to a participant, beneficiary, or enrollee (or an authorized representative on behalf of such individual), the estimated cost-sharing liability for covered items or services from a particular provider or providers, thereby allowing a participant, beneficiary, or enrollee to obtain an accurate estimate and understanding of their potential out-of-pocket expenses and to effectively shop for covered items and services. Group health plans and health insurance issuers would be required to make such information available through a self-service tool on an internet website. The self-service tool must provide the information through real-time responses and allow users to search for cost-sharing information for covered items and services. The self-service tool must also allow users to input information necessary to learn the out-of-network allowed amount for a covered item or service and have the capability to refine and reorder results. Group health plans and health insurance issuers would also be required to make this information available as a disclosure in written form. Both the self-service tool and the paper disclosure would be required to include several disclaimer statements relevant to information provided through the disclosure and could be provided by using a model notice developed by the Departments. Additionally, group health plans and health insurance issuers would be subject requirements to disclose in-network provider negotiated rates and historical payment data for allowed amounts for covered items and services furnished by out-of-network providers through two digital files in a machine-readable format to be specified by the Departments. The Negotiated Rate file and the Allowed Amount file must be posted publicly on an internet website.

Unaccompanied Alien Children Sponsor Application Packet

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) requests emergency review and approval of this information collection by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13. The proposed revisions to the Authorization for Release of Information (Form SAP-2) and Sponsor Application (Form SAP-3) align the PDF and digital sponsor applications used by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Under the October 30, 2026, court order in Angelica S. v. HHS, ORR must make the OMB-approved PDF application available as the exclusive sponsorship application if OMB has not approved the online application by November 30, 2026. The information collected is essential to the mission of the agency. Children’s safety and well-being are central to the sponsorship process. ORR must obtain sufficient information to evaluate prospective sponsors, assess household conditions, identify potential safety concerns, and support safe and timely placement decisions. The revised forms organize this information and related conditional follow-up questions to support consistent collection and review throughout the sponsorship process. The use of normal PRA clearance procedures is reasonably likely to delay approval beyond November 30, 2026, and disrupt information collection by requiring ORR to transition to exclusive use of the approved PDF application. This transition will likely substantially increase manual processing of sponsor applications by Federal staff, draw out the sponsorship process by requiring Federal staff to read out and have sponsors respond to lengthy interviews through Sponsor Assessment questions, increase records management burden, and could compromise the security of significant sensitive information of sponsors, their households, and unaccompanied alien children. Operationally, such a transition would result in a significant delay for sponsor assessments and release and unification of unaccompanied alien children with their vetted family member. ACF therefore requests emergency approval by November 3, 2026, to support continued use of the online application, avoid processing delays, and maintain essential safeguards for children throughout the sponsorship and release process.Emergency Justfication:ACF requests OMB’s emergency review and approval of the digital sponsor application and corresponding revisions to the Authorization for Release of Information (Form SAP-2) and Sponsor Application (Form SAP-3), under OMB Control No. 0970-0278, as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13. ACF requests approval as soon as possible and before November 30 to avoid substantial disruption to ORR’s sponsor intake and assessment process while meeting the court’s minute order in Angelica S. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (Case No. 1:25-cv-01405). On October 30, 2026, the court ordered that, if the online sponsorship application is not approved by OMB by November 30, 2026, the OMB-approved PDF version must be made available as the exclusive sponsorship application. Emergency approval would permit ORR to maintain its current online intake process while implementing aligned, OMB-approved digital and PDF instruments. This information collection is essential to ACF’s and ORR’s responsibilities to protect the care, safety, and well-being of unaccompanied alien children and support their safe placement with suitable sponsors. Given the court’s November 30, 2026, requirement, the use of normal clearance procedures under the Paperwork Reduction Act is reasonably likely to necessitate a transition to universal PDF intake, increasing government costs for manual processing, document handling, and records management. Diverting staff from substantive sponsor assessments would necessarily delay safe placement decisions, prolong the time unaccompanied alien children remain in ORR custody in congregate care settings, and increase federal expenditures for their continued care. Prolonged stays in Federal custody and congregate care settings present significant child welfare concerns and litigation risk for ORR. Requiring universal PDF intake would substantially change ORR’s current operations, increase handling of sensitive personal information outside the secure application system, and expand manual processing and records management work beyond available staffing resources. Essential to Mission This collection is essential to the agency’s mission (as described in 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(1)(ii)) because Forms SAP-2 and SAP-3 are necessary for ACF and ORR to carry out their responsibilities for the care, safety, and well-being of children. These forms collect and document information ORR needs to assess prospective sponsors and determine whether a child can be safely released from federal custody. They support required sponsor suitability assessments while helping ORR avoid unnecessary delays in placing children with suitable sponsors. The forms enable ORR to carry out its responsibilities under the Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. Section 279, which assigns ORR responsibility for the care and placement of unaccompanied alien children and requires consideration of children’s interests in decisions concerning their care and custody.

Abstract

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is requesting review and approval of a revision to an existing data collection related to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-169) (the Act). Sections 1193 and 1194 of the Act requires drug manufacturers to submit data to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, in a form and manner specified by the Secretary; information on the non-Federal average manufacturer price; and information that the Secretary requires to carry out the negotiation or renegotiation process. The Act establishes a Drug Price Negotiation Program for certain selected drugs covered under Medicare Part B and Part D. The Secretary is required to negotiate maximum fair prices (MFPs) with drug manufacturers for 15 Part B and Part D drugs in 2028, 20 Part B and Part D drugs for 2029 and each following year. The Secretary is required to renegotiate MFPs with drug manufacturers of selected drugs that are eligible and selected for renegotiation for 2028 and each following year. Additionally, this information collection request describes the information collection that may occur if the Primary Manufacturer chooses to develop and submit a written counteroffer to CMS’ written initial offer for initial negotiation or renegotiation of the MFP, as applicable to a selected drug, during initial price applicability year 2028 under the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program (under the authority in sections 11001 and 11002 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-169), codified in sections 1191 through 1198 of the Social Security Act

Higher Education Act (HEA) Title II Report Cards on State Teacher Credentialing and Preparation

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension without change of the State Report Card and Institution and Program Report Card required by the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended in 2008 by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA). States must report annually on criteria and assessments required for initial teacher credentials using a State Report Card (SRC), and institutions of higher education (IHEs) with teacher preparation programs (TPP), and TPPs outside of IHEs, must report on key program elements on an Institution and Program Report Card (IPRC). IHEs and TPPs outside of IHEs report annually to their states on program elements, including program numbers, type, enrollment figures, demographics, completion rates, goals and assurances to the state. States, in turn, must report on TPP elements to the Secretary of Education in addition to information on assessment pass rates, state standards, initial credential types and requirements, numbers of credentials issued, TPP classification as at-risk or low-performing. The information from states, institutions, and programs is published annually in The Secretary's Report to Congress on Teacher Quality.
