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.

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Quarterly Performance and Management Reports

Key Information

Abstract

OCS implemented LIHEAP quarterly reporting helps strengthen the program and improve our ability to highlight the impact LIHEAP is having on households across the program. The quarterly reports help OCS track key information in near real time. Previously, OCS did not receive comprehensive performance and management data until approximately three months after the end of each federal fiscal year. The LIHEAP Quarterly Report assists OCS in receiving data and information about LIHEAP during the federal fiscal year. This almost real time data is particularly important this year as LIHEAP grant recipients both administer historical levels of LIHEAP funding and develop and implement plans to reach the most vulnerable households amidst ongoing energy price increases. These reports are critical in helping us address challenges in a timely manner including unmet T/TA needs, approaching obligation deadlines, and challenges related to outreach and intake such as reaching newly eligible populations. The LIHEAP Carryover and Reallotment Report (CRR) is used for the collection of data about timely obligation of LIHEAP regular block grant, reallotted, and supplemental funds and reporting funds for carryover and reallotment. ACF is working to submit a revision request for the LIHEAP CRR (OMB #0970-0106) but will not be able to submit it before its current expiration date of June 30, 2025. ACF is in the process of getting the first notice published in the Federal Register, once HHS approves publication. The next CRR report is usually due from grant recipients on August 1st. Since the 60-day comment period has not begun, we will not have approval for the reinstatement of the CRR by that date. The August 1st requirement for this data submission is part of the statute and cannot be moved. ACF would like to propose an interim solution for this year that allows us to gather necessary information in a timely way, meet statutory requirements, and reduce burden on grant recipients. The Office of Community Services currently receives the Unobligated Balance for LIHEAP funds based on the Q4 submissions of the LIHEAP Quarterly Report (0970-0589). ACF would like to make an update to the Q3 report to add an element for respondents to provide the Estimated Unobligated Balance of Funds through September 30th. The purpose and use of the information would be in line with the purpose and use of information collected for the Quarterly Reports, which is for the purpose of Training and Technical Assistance.

Management and Protection of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska - Recommendations for Special Reserve Areas (43 CFR 2361.2-2)

Key Information

Abstract

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing to rescind the current regulations for Management and Protection of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska in 43 CFR Part 2360 and return to the status quo under the rule promulgated in 1977 in 43 CFR Part 2360. The proposed rule would revised information collection requirements pertaining to Special Areas (SAs) in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (Reserve). The proposed rule would involve one (1) information collection at 43 CFR 2361.1(d) regarding recommendations for the designation of land as a SA in the Reserve. This information collection requirement slightly revises the existing requirement for SA recommendations. The RIN for this proposed rule is 1004-AF02.

National Eye Institute’s Intramural Research ProgramApplication Form for electronic Individual Development Plan (eIDP)

Key Information

Abstract

This is to request approval for the continued use of an electronic Individual Development Plan (eIDP), with an exit survey. Completing an eIDP is a crucial step in a trainees’ professional development and is a standard in graduate and postdoctoral education. An IDP is an effective tool for trainees to think about their career goals and skills needed to achieve them during their time at the NEI. Trainees work together with their research mentor to organize and describe their research projects, consider career paths, and set training goals and expectations. The information provided by the trainee on their proposed project, for example, helps their mentor judge the merits and feasibility of said project, helping identify problems early on and prevent possible delays. As research training at the NIH is time-limited (for example, postdoctoral fellows can only stay five years without special permission) and the types of research emphasized at the NIH and NEI are high-risk/high-reward projects that typically span much of the trainee’s tenure, the use of the project section in the eIDP assists mentors and mentees in aligning their goals and has ensured that projects are well thought out and planned to avoid delays. Additionally, in case of a dispute on the direction of a project, the mentor and mentee can refer back to what’s proposed within the eIDP.

Key Information

Abstract

The Emerging Infections Programs (EIP) is to 1) detect and monitor emerging pathogens, the diseases they cause, and the factors influencing their emergence, and respond to problems as they are identified, 2) integrate laboratory science and epidemiology to optimize public health practice, 3) strengthen infrastructure to support surveillance and research and to implement prevention and control programs, and to 4) ensure implementation of prevention strategies and communication of public health information about emerging diseases. Surveillance efforts of the core EIP activities generate reliable estimates of the incidence of certain infections and provide the foundation for a variety of epidemiologic studies. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted to make minor modifications to approved instruments including revised formatting, rewording, new answer options, and the addition/subtraction of a limited number of questions. There is no anticipated change to the approved burden hours.

Understanding the Human Response to Water Hazards: A Social Network Analysis

Key Information

Abstract

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration is submitting this non-substantive change request in order to bring the demographic questions in line with the OPM issued memorandum titled, "Initial Guidance Regarding President Trump’s Executive Order Defending Women. The only changes were to the questions regarding an individual’s sex to remove to response options and to update the race/ethnicity question for compliance with SPD-15. In considering the expanded format for collecting race and ethnicity information, which includes minimum categories, multiple detailed checkboxes, and write-in response areas with example group categories, we determined that such specificity is not required for our purposes. The primary goal of this information collection is to obtain feedback to learn more about how people hear about and respond to flooding in their community. By simplifying the Race and Ethnicity Question with Minimum Categories (that is format 3, Race and Ethnicity Question with Minimum Categories Only) we can streamline the data collection process and focus on obtaining valuable insights from individuals who have experienced a severe water hazard. This approach allows us to prioritize the feedback and opinions that will directly contribute to improving public outreach and communication.

Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) National Evaluation Overarching Generic

Key Information

Abstract

This Information Collection Request is for an overarching generic clearance to collect data from programs delivered by Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) grant recipients on behalf of the SRAE National Evaluation. The information collected under this generic clearance is intended to identify innovative implementation strategies and program components used by SRAE grant recipients. There is not extensive evidence on SRAE programming to inform SRAE grant recipients’ implementation and program improvement efforts. To add to this limited body of evidence and support ACF’s administration of the SRAE grant program, the SRAE National Evaluation includes data collection to identify strategies and components that have the potential to improve the delivery and/or quality of SRAE programming. This work is rapid and iterative to allow any learnings to be disseminated to SRAE grant recipients during their grant award periods. As the study team identifies strategies ready for evaluation, rapid, responsive work will be undertaken to allow any learnings to be disseminated back to SRAE grant recipients within their grant award periods. For these reasons, ACF’s Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation is seeking approval for an overarching generic clearance. We have identified one innovative strategy that we would like to learn more about immediately upon approval of this overarching generic clearance, before planning a more in-depth study that would be reflected in a future submission to OMB. This initial GenIC request is included within the request for the new umbrella generic; future GenICs will be submitted individually.

The Controlled Substances Act requires all businesses and individuals who manufacture, distribute, import, export, and conduct research and laboratory analysis with controlled substances to register with the DEA. 21 U.S.C. 822, 21 CFR 1301.11 and 1301.13. Registration is a necessary control measure that prevents diversion by ensuring the closed system of distribution of controlled substances can be monitored by the DEA and that the businesses and individuals handling controlled substances are qualified to do so and are accountable. Any person who is registered may apply to be reregistered no more than 60 days before the expiration date of their registration. 21 CFR 1301.13(b). However, a bulk manufacturer of a schedule I or II controlled substance or an importer of a schedule I or II controlled substance may apply to be reregistered no more than 120 days before the expiration date of their registration. 21 CFR 1301.13(b).

Madrid Protocol

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information is required by the Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., which provides for the Federal registration of trademarks, service marks, collective trademarks and service marks, collective membership marks, and certification marks. The Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks (Madrid Protocol) is an international treaty that allows a trademark owner to seek registration in any of the participating countries by filing a single international application. The International Bureau (IB) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva, Switzerland, administers the international registration system. The Madrid Protocol Implementation Act of 2002 amended the Trademark Act to provide that: (1) The owner of a U.S. application or registration may seek protection of its mark in any of the participating countries by submitting a single international application through the USPTO and (2) the holder of an international registration may request an extension of protection of the international registration to the United States. The Madrid Protocol came into effect in the United States on November 2, 2003, and is implemented under 15 U.S.C. 1141 et seq. and 37 CFR parts 2 and 7. Individuals and businesses that use or intend to use such marks in commerce may file an application to register the marks with the USPTO. Both the register and the information provided in pending applications for registration can be accessed by the public in order to determine the availability of a mark and lessen the likelihood of initiating the use of a mark previously adopted by another.

Electronic Fund Transfer Act (Regulation E)

Key Information

Abstract

The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA), 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq., requires accurate disclosure of the costs, terms, and rights relating to electronic fund transfer (EFT) services and remittance transfer services to consumers. Entities offering EFT services must provide consumers with full and accurate information regarding consumers' rights and responsibilities in connection with EFT services. These disclosures are intended to protect the rights of consumers using EFT services, such as automated teller machine (ATM) transfers, telephone bill-payment services, point-of-sale transfers at retail establishments, electronic check conversion, payroll cards, and preauthorized transfers from or to a consumer's account. EFTA also establishes error resolution procedures and limits consumer liability for unauthorized transfers in connection with EFT services. EFTA and Regulation E impose disclosure and other requirements on issuers and sellers of gift cards, gift certificates, and general-use prepaid cards. Further, EFTA and Regulation E provide protections for consumers in the United States who send remittance transfers to persons in a foreign country. On November 22, 2016, the Bureau published a final rule that amends Regulations E, Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act, and the official interpretations to the regulations, to provide comprehensive protections for consumers who use “prepaid accounts.” In addition, it modifies general Regulation E requirements to create tailored provisions governing disclosures, limited liability and error resolution, and periodic statements, and adds new requirements regarding the posting of account agreements. Additionally, the final rule amends Regulations E and Z to regulate overdraft credit features offered in connection with prepaid accounts. Federal agencies and private litigants use the records to ascertain whether accurate and complete disclosures of EFT services and other services covered under Regulation E have been provided and other required actions (for example, error resolution and limitation of consumer liability for unauthorized transfers) have been taken. This information will provide the primary evidence of law violations in EFTA enforcement actions brought by the CFPB and other Federal agencies. Without recordkeeping requirements of Regulation E, the Federal agencies' ability to enforce the EFTA would be significantly impaired. Consumers rely on the disclosures required by EFTA and Regulation E to facilitate informed EFT, gift card, and remittance transfer decision making. Without this information, consumers would be severely hindered in their ability to assess the true costs and terms of the transactions offered. Also, without the special error resolution and limitation of consumer liability provisions, consumers would be unable to detect and correct unauthorized transfers and errors in their EFT and remittance transfer transactions. These disclosures and provisions are also necessary for the agencies to enforce EFTA and Regulation E.

Refugee Data Submission System for Formula Funds Allocations (ORR–5)

Key Information

Abstract

The Refugee Data Submission System for Formula Funds Allocations and Service Analysis (ORR-5) is designed to satisfy the statutory requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Section 412(a)(3) of the INA (8 U.S.C. § 1522(a)(3)) requires that the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) make a periodic assessment of the needs of refugees for assistance and services and the resources available to meet those needs. In order to satisfy statutory requirements, ORR requires each state and replacement designee (hereinafter referred to as “states”) participating in the program to annually submit disaggregated individual records containing certain data elements for eligible ORR populations. ORR utilizes the data collected to assess the number of clients served in each state, resettlement assistance or services clients received, and to determine the corresponding Refugee Support Services (RSS) allocations. ORR also collects data elements to inform evidence-based policy making and program design. New data elements were added in 2021, including additional demographics, primary goals identified, and referrals made to assist clients work towards self-sufficiency, progress made towards achieving said goals, and employment status of employable clients 12 months post-enrollment. This was done to enable ORR and states to monitor implementation of the requirements put forth in ORR Policy Letter 19-07, which provides guidance on RSS family self-sufficiency plans. Individual level data collection enhances ORR and the states’ ability to make data-informed programmatic and policy decisions to strengthen services and best support refugee populations on their path to self-sufficiency and integration. In January 2025, the current Administration released multiple Executive Orders (EO) and memoranda requiring updates to information collections that request gender and/or gender identity, to only request “Sex” with the options Male/Female. Additionally, presidential actions focused on the removal of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-specific activities. To be responsive to the new administration, ACF is submitting change requests for a number of implicated information collections. This request is specific to updates related to a recent presidential action, as detailed in the accompanying Justification for a NonSubstantive Change Memo.

Annual Survey of Refugees

Key Information

Abstract

The Annual Survey of Refugees (ASR) helps the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) meet its congressional reporting requirements, as specified in The Refugee Act of 1980 (Section 413 of the Immigration and Naturalization Act, [8 U.S.C. 1523]). From the time of their arrival in the United States, refugees are eligible for social services, including means-tested public assistance, according to eligibility criteria established by the locality in which they are resettled. Following an initial 90-day reception period funded by the U.S. Department of State, ACF, through ORR, provides transitional resettlement assistance through a network of national non-profit grantees and their local affiliates. In many cases, these services are expected to end after an 8-month resettlement period. By that time, refugees are expected to be transitioned to mainstream social services or to self-sufficiency. The design of the resettlement program means that ORR has limited administrative information on refugees’ experiences after the 8-month resettlement period. The information collected through the ASR generates national population estimates of refugee labor force participation, public benefits receipt, English language acquisition, and conversion to legal permanent residency to meet Congressional reporting requirements. Given that ORR does not have access to cross-program administrative data on refugees’ participation in state-provided services, a representative survey is the most resource-efficient way to meet ORR’s annual reporting requirements, laid out in the Refugee Act of 1980. In particular, descriptive information from the survey is used to meet the requirement of 413(b)(1): “an updated profile of the employment and labor force statistics for refugees who have entered the United States within the five-fiscal-year period immediately preceding the fiscal year within which the report is to be made.” Descriptive information from the survey is also used alongside quantitative and qualitative data collected during program administration to meet the requirements of 413(b)(5): “the extent to which (A) the services provided under this chapter are assisting refugees in achieving economic self-sufficiency, achieving ability in English, and achieving employment commensurate with their skills and abilities.” This request covers the following administrations of the ASR: ASR 2023 (to be fielded spring 2024), ASR 2024 (to be fielded spring 2025), and ASR 2025 (to be fielded spring 2026). In January 2025, the current Administration released multiple Executive Orders (EO) and memoranda requiring updates to information collections that request gender and/or gender identity, to only request “Sex” with the options Male/Female. Additionally, presidential actions focused on the removal of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-specific activities. To be responsive to the new administration, ACF is submitting change requests for a number of implicated information collections. This request is specific to updates related to a recent presidential action, as detailed in the accompanying Justification for a NonSubstantive Change Memo.

State Plan for Grants to States for Refugee Resettlement

Key Information

Abstract

In order for a State or Replacement Designee (RD) to receive refugee resettlement assistance funds, it must submit a plan that meets the requirements of 8 U.S.C. 1522 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) [Title IV, Sec. 412 of the Act] for each state agency requesting federal funding for refugee resettlement under 8 U.S.C. 524 [Title IV, Sec. 414 of the Act]) and 45 CFR Part 400. The State Plan Template for Grants to States for Refugee Resettlement provides states and RDs with the required components and mandatory sequence of a State Plan. The collection is necessary for the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to ensure that a state or RD administering an ORR-funded refugee assistance program has prepared a plan that meets the requirements of 45 CFR Part 400. In January 2025, the current Administration released multiple Executive Orders (EO) and memoranda requiring updates to information collections that request gender and/or gender identity, to only request “Sex” with the options Male/Female. Additionally, presidential actions focused on the removal of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-specific activities. To be responsive to the new administration, ACF is submitting change requests for a number of implicated information collections. This request is specific to updates related to a recent presidential action, as detailed in the accompanying Justification for a NonSubstantive Change Memo.
