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 July 19, 2025.

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission requires Tier 1 LECs to provide expanded opportunities for third-party interconnection with their interstate special access facilities. The LECs are permitted to establish a number of rate zones withtin study areas in which expanded interconnection is operational. In the Fifth Report and Order in CC Docket No. 96-262, the Commission allows price cap LECs to define the scope and number of zones within a study area. These LECs must file and obtain approval of their pricing plans which will be used by FCC staff to ensure that the rates are just, reasonable and nondiscriminatory.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Foreign National Request Form A

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Commerce (DOC) foreign access management program is designed to enable the broadest cooperation and collaboration with international partners while ensuring compliance with all applicable United States (U.S.) laws and regulations through the consistent and effective management of access by Foreign Nationals to DOC facilities, resources, and activities that are not available to the public. The DOC must balance this openness with the necessity to protect classified information, data, or technology; Controlled Unclassified Information; or otherwise controlled, proprietary, or not-for-public release data, information, or technology consistent with U.S. laws and regulations. To facilitate compliance, the Foreign National Request Form A is developed for use by DOC bureaus, staff offices, and operating units to mitigate variance in foreign access management program implementation and information collection needed to achieve risk-based determinations of physical and logical access by Foreign National visitors and guests to DOC facilities and information resources. This form has been revised to ensure that it adequately collects all information mandated by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Fishery Products Subject to Trade Restrictions Pursuant to Certification Under the High Seas Driftnet Fishing (HSDF) Moratorium Protection Act

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension of the current information collection. Pursuant to the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act (Moratorium Protection Act) and the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), certain fish products may be excluded from U.S. markets. For example, if a nation is identified under the Moratorium Protection Act and fails to receive a positive certification decision from the Secretary of Commerce, certain fish or fish products from that nation may be prohibited from import to the United States. Similarly, if a nation does not receive a comparability finding for a fishery under the MMPA, products from that nation's fishery may also be prohibited. In each case, if certain fish or fish products of a nation are subject to import prohibitions (e.g., harvest of a particular fishery), NMFS requires that similar fish or fish products from that nation that are not subject to the import prohibitions be accompanied by Certification of Admissibility (COA) fish harvest record form to be eligible for entry into the United States. The benefit of this data collection is to ensure the continuance of permissible trade where import restrictions would otherwise result in blanket prohibitions on all relevant fish and fish products.

New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
Water Use Data Acquisition

Key Information

Abstract

This notice identifies an information collection activity that the USGS Water Availability and Use Science Program has submitted to OMB for approval to collect information on the use of water resources in the United States. The information is used by USGS scientists to estimate water use in several categories including (but not limited to) public-supply, domestic, irrigation, thermoelectric-cooling, industrial, mining, aquaculture, and livestock applications. USGS national water-use estimates are disseminated to stakeholders and the general public on an on-going basis and fulfill requirements of the SECURE Water Act. The information also supports regional and national water availability studies in the United States. The USGS has produced estimates of annual water use by category aggregated at the county and state level every five years since 1950. Models will be used to produce estimates beginning in year 2020, made at a higher temporal and spatial resolution than previous estimates. Model estimates are dependent on validation using the data collected nationally for specific water-use facilities. USGS Water-Use Specialists will request reported water-use data annually from non-federal agencies. This collection also aims to request data from facilities on an ad-hoc basis to acquire data for categories of use or locations where state-reported data are not sufficient for estimating water use. Respondents can provide relevant data in a variety of electronic formats, usually via websites, file sharing, or email. Information will also be gathered on the water-use data-delivery needs of USGS water-use stakeholders and other end-users.

Administration for Children and Families Generic for Information Collections related to Gatherings

Key Information

Abstract

This request is to establish a new umbrella generic clearance for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to request information from potential participants at ACF gatherings, such as meetings or conferences. This may include large scale conferences, meetings for grantees or contractors, workshops, trainings, poster sessions, and other in-person and virtual gatherings for individuals with interest in ACF programs (clients, researchers, policymakers, etc.), among others. To ensure ACF has adequate information to plan these activities, the Agency must often collect information from potential participants such as basic contact information, preferences for attendance (mode, special requests, etc.), organizational affiliation, feedback about meeting content, etc. Additionally, some activities require ACF to have additional information to have the means to select the most appropriate participants for attendance according to the type or purpose of a given activity, or to group participants into the most appropriate category or activity during an event. This may include information about poster presentations, speaking panels, training courses, professional perspectives or experiences, etc. In addition, attendees may be asked to submit an application or abstract for prescreening to be selected for attendance. The planning for meetings is most often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act would inhibit the ability to collect information to inform these activities. Therefore, an umbrella generic is necessary to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar information collections related to these activities. As part of this generic, ACF requests OMB provide a response on individual generic information collections within 5 business days. If no response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and scope outlined in this document, ACF may move forward with the proposed information collection.

Requirements Related to Surprise Billing: Qualifying Payment Amount, Notice and Consent, Disclosure on Patient Protections Against Balance Billing, and State Law Opt-in (CMS-10780)

Key Information

Abstract

On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116-260), which included the No Surprises Act, was signed into law. The No Surprises Act provides federal protections against surprise billing and limits out-of-network cost sharing under many of the circumstances in which surprise medical bills arise most frequently. The 2021 interim final regulations “Requirements Related to Surprise Billing; Part I” (2021 interim final regulations) issued by the Departments of Health and Humans Services, the Department of Labor, the Department of Treasury, and the Office of Personnel Management, implement provisions of the No Surprises Act that apply to group health plans, health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage, and carriers in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program that provide protections against balance billing and out-of-network cost sharing with respect to emergency services, non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at certain participating health care facilities, and air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers of air ambulance services. The 2021 interim final regulations prohibit nonparticipating providers, emergency facilities, and providers of air ambulance services from balance billing participants, beneficiaries, and enrollees in certain situations unless they satisfy certain notice and consent requirements. The No Surprises Act and the 2021 interim final regulations require group health plans and issuers of health insurance coverage to provide information about qualifying payment amounts to nonparticipating providers and facilities and to provide disclosures on patient protections against balance billing to participants, beneficiaries and enrollees. Self-insured plans opting in to State law are required to provide a disclosure to participants. Certain nonparticipating providers and nonparticipating emergency facilities may are provide participants, beneficiaries, and enrollees with notice and obtain their consent to waive balance billing protections, provided certain requirements are met. In addition, certain providers and facilities are required to provide disclosures on patient protections against balance billing to participants, beneficiaries and enrollees.
