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.

Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb) (Proposed Rule for WWWW)

Key Information

Abstract

The Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) were proposed on September 20, 1994; promulgated on December 19, 1995; and amended on both August 25, 1997, and May 10, 2006. The Agency received petitions on various aspects of the standards, however, and the 2006 rule was remanded in 2008. EPA is finalizing a rulemaking to address that remand, which includes a reevaluation of maximum achievable control technology (MACT) floors and the next iteration of the 5-year review of the standards as required by the CAA. The EPA is proposing revised requirements to existing subpart Cb (Emissions Guidelines and Compliance Times for Large Municipal Waste Combustors That are Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994) on January 23, 2024. The EPA is proposing the revised requirements in new subpart 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart WWWW (Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before January 23, 2024). Subpart WWWW applies to existing facilities constructed either on or before January 23, 2024 that own and operate municipal waste combustion (MWC) units with a combustion capacity greater than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste (large MWC units). In general, all EG standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the EG. The final amendments reflect the results from the MACT floor reevaluation and the 5-year review; remove startup, shutdown and malfunction exclusions and exceptions; streamline regulatory language; revise recordkeeping and electronic reporting requirements; and clarify requirements for certain air curtain incinerators. Additionally, the amendments re-establish new source and existing source applicability dates. Large MWC units that are currently subject to the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) of subparts Ea and Eb will become “existing” sources under the amended standards and would be required to meet the revised emission guidelines (EG) under subpart WWWW by the applicable compliance date for the revised guidelines. Burdens associated with the 2006 standards are addressed separately under EPA ICR Number 1847.09 and are not included in this ICR. This ICR applies only to the incremental burden incurred by existing units due to the revisions to these standards. The guidelines do not apply directly to large MWC unit owners and operators, since they are implemented through state plans (SPs). If a state does not develop, adopt, and submit an approved state plan, or if a state’s plan is not approved, the EPA must promulgate a Federal plan to implement the emission guidelines in a state without its own SP. This information is being collected to ensure compliance with the final amendments to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb.

Affordable Care Act Internal Claims and Appeals and External Review Procedures for ERISA Plans

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information request includes the information collection and third party notice and disclosure requirements that a plan must satisfy under final regulations implementing provisions of the Affordable Care Act pertaining to internal claims and appeals, and the external review process. The No Surprises Act of 2020 extends the balance billing protections related to external reviews to grandfathered plans. The definitions of group health plan and health insurance issuer that are cited in section 110 of the No Surprises Act include both grandfathered and non-grandfathered plans and coverage. Accordingly, the practical effect of section 110 of the No Surprises Act is that grandfathered health plans must provide external review for adverse benefit determinations involving benefits subject to these surprise billing protections. Grandfathered and non-grandfathered plans must provide claimants, free of charge, any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon, or generated by the plan or issuer in connection with the claim, and the requirement to comply either with a State external review process or a Federal review process. The disclosure requirements of the Federal external review process require (1) a preliminary review by plans of requests for external appeals; (2) Independent Review Organizations (IROs) to notify claimants of eligibility and acceptance for external review; (3) the plan or issuer to provide IROs with documentation and other information considered in making adverse benefit determination; (4) the IRO to forward to the plan or issuer any information submitted by the claimant; (5) plans to notify the claimant and IRO if it reverses its decision; (6) the IRO to notify the claimant and plan of the result of the final external appeal; 7) the IRO to maintain records for six years.

Application for Approval of an Institution of Higher Learning Facility; Institution of Higher Learning – Program Submission List; Application for Approval of Org Other Than Inst of Higher Learning

Key Information

Abstract

Public Law 117-333 Section 11, enacted January 5, 2023, amends title 38 CFR §3672, “Approval of Courses”. This provision of the law required VA to create and design two new uniform applications for approval of courses of educational programs, and for those forms to be available for use by October 1, 2023. These forms will be completed by educational institutions, training establishments and other organizations, as applicable, seeking approval of one or more of their programs of study for the payment of VA Education benefits to eligible beneficiaries. The institutions will submit the forms to the State Approving Agency (SAA) of jurisdiction for their review. By law, each SAA has the authority to make such approvals in their respective state. VA contracts with a SAA in each state for this work. Prior to the new legislative requirement, each SAA used their own application form making it difficult for training institutions operating in more than one state to readily complete the process as different states required different information. The new law ensures uniformity across all states. These forms will be used by educational institutions interested in applying for initial approval of their programs for payment of VA benefits, for revision of existing program approvals or withdrawal of approval for programs no longer offered. The institutions will complete either the VA Form 22-10287 or the VA Form 22-10288, based on the type of training offered at their institution. Institutions of Higher Learning (IHLs) will use the VA Form 22-10287 exclusively, and all other types of educational training establishments will use the VA Form 22-10288. Each institution will use their associated “program list” for adding, revising or removing any program they offer. Some administrative revision(s) may be required that do not involve program approval related matters, will be submitted on their respective application. In these instances, the associated program list will not be required. Administrative modifications include things such as changes of address, banking information, or ownership when all program offerings remain the same. The VA Forms 22-10287 and 22-10288 and their associated program lists will be submitted by the educational institution to the SAA of jurisdiction for review. The SAA makes an approval decision and notifies the institution accordingly. Immediately following, the SAA sends the approval package to the VA Education Liaison Representative (ELR) of jurisdiction. The approval package includes the application from the training institution, the SAA’s findings and additional related information to support payment of GI Bill benefits, as well as a copy of the notification to the training institution. The ELR reviews the approval package for completeness (or requests additional required information). Once the package is deemed complete, the ELR processes the package by entering the required information into WEAMS. Lastly, the ELR provides a report containing the final information to the training institution, with a copy to the SAA of jurisdiction. The approval data in WEAMS is used by Veterans Claims Examiners.

FERC-549C, Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines (Final Rule in Docket No. RM96-1-043)

Key Information

Abstract

The Final rule in RM96-1-043 would revise FERC-549C by amending 18 CFR 284.12 to incorporate by reference, with certain enumerated exceptions, Version 4.0 of Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines adopted by the Wholesale Gas Quadrant of the North American Energy Standards Board. The Final Rule revises the information collection activities in FERC-549C by: • Adding a new data element, “Cycle Indicator,” to the data set for the Storage Information standard to address technical details for the reporting of storage balances and the activities that affect storage balances; • Revising the data element “Service Requester Contract” contained in the data set for the Flowing Gas Related Allocation standard to identify the applicable contract and to support the communication of the results of processes used to allocate the actual flow of gas quantities to parties involved in a transaction; and • Adding a new sender’s option data element, “Location Indicator Data,” to the Transactional Reporting – Capacity Release standard to improve efficiencies by providing a mechanism for a transportation service provider to communicate the locations at which a discounted rate is offered as well as if the rate is associated with a single location, multiple locations, or all locations. Failure to collect the FERC-549C data would prevent the Commission from monitoring and properly evaluating pipeline transactions and/or meeting statutory obligations under both the NGA and NGPA. The implementation of these standards and regulations has promoted the additional efficiency and reliability of the natural gas industries’ operations thereby helping the Commission to carry out its responsibilities under the NGA. In addition, the Commission’s Office of Enforcement will use the data for general industry oversight. These requirements conform to our plan for efficient information collection, communication, and management within the natural gas pipeline industries.

Questionnaire About Employment or Self-Employment Outside the United States

Key Information

Abstract

When a Social Security beneficiary or claimant reports work outside the United States, SSA uses Form SSA 7163 to determine if foreign work deductions are applicable. Specifically, SSA uses Form SSA-7163 to determine: (1) whether work performed by beneficiaries outside the United States is cause for deductions from their monthly benefits; (2) which of two work tests (foreign or regular test) is applicable; and (3) the number of months, if any, for SSA imposed deductions. As the respondents are beneficiaries living and working outside the United States, SSA must determine whether the annual earnings test applies to all earnings from work covered by the Social Security Act (Act), including earnings from covered work performed outside the United States. However, because of the differences in foreign currency values, it is administratively impractical to apply this test to earnings from non-covered work performed outside the United States and base it on United States dollars. Accordingly, the 45-hour work test provides for deductions from the benefits of employees under full retirement age who engage in non-covered remunerative activity for more than 45 hours in a calendar month. SSA asks beneficiaries working outside the United States to complete this form annually or every other year (depending on the country of residence). Respondents are beneficiaries or claimants for Social Security benefits who are engaged in work outside the United States. We are submitting this non-substantive change request to remove the signature requirement.

Objective Work Plan (OWP) and Objective Progress Report (OPR)

Key Information

Abstract

The Objective Work Plan (OWP) information collection is conducted in accordance with 42 USC of the Native American Programs Act of 1972, as amended. This collection is necessary to evaluate applications for financial assistance and determine the relative merits of the projects for which such assistance is requested, as set forth in Sec. 806 [42 USC 2991d-1](a)(1). The Ongoing Progress Report (OPR) information collection is conducted in accordance with Sec. 811 [42 USC 2992] of the Native American Programs Act and will allow the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Administration for Native American (ANA) to report quantifiable results across all program areas. It also provides grantees with parameters for reporting their progress and helps ANA better monitor and determine the effectiveness of their projects. This request includes revisions to the currently approved OPR and a request for an extension for the OPR and the OWP; there are no changes proposed to the OWP. ANA would like to coordinate the review and approval of the OWP/OPR and the Project Outcomes Assessment Survey (POAS) (OMB #0970-0379) information collection to align expiration dates in the future. ANA is currently revising the POAS in accordance with Executive Order (E.O.) 14112 (Reforming Federal Funding and Support for Tribal Nations To Better Embrace Our Trust Responsibilities and Promote the Next Era of Tribal Self-Determination) so took the opportunity to review and make updates, as needed, to the materials under this OMB number and is now submitting the updated materials in coordination with a revision request for OMB #: 0970-0379.

Medical Source Statement of Ability to Do Work-Related Activities

Key Information

Abstract

When a claimant appeals a denied disability claim, SSA may ask the claimant to have a consultative examination at the agency’s expense, if the claimant’s medical sources cannot, or will not, give the agency sufficient evidence to determine whether the claimant is disabled. The medical providers who perform these consultative examinations provide a statement about the claimant’s state of disability. Specifically, these medical source statements determine the work-related capabilities of these claimants. SSA collects the medical data on the HA-1151 and HA-1152 to assess the work-related physical and mental capabilities of claimants who appeal SSA’s previous determination on their issue of disability. The respondents are medical sources who provide reports based either on existing medical evidence or on consultative examinations. We are submitting this Change Request to include two CFR citations from the rule-related ICR for 0960-0804 under this OMB approval. We will also submit the Discontinuation for 0960-0804 at the same time as we submit this Change Request. The addtion of these CFR ciations will increase the burden for this information collection.

National Survey of Mortgage Originations (NSMO)

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is required to conduct a monthly mortgage market survey under section 1324 of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA). As part of that mandate, FHFA must collect information on the characteristics of individual subprime and nontraditional mortgages, as well as on the characteristics of borrowers on such mortgages, including information on the creditworthiness of those borrowers and information sufficient to determine whether those borrowers would have qualified for prime lending. The National Survey of Mortgage Originations (NSMO) questionnaire is designed to elicit this information directly from borrowers, who are likely to be the most reliable and accessible-and, in some cases, the only-source for this information. In addition, the questionnaire is designed to elicit more complete information on mortgage terms, mortgaged properties, and borrowers' household demographics than can be obtained from the existing sources. FHFA's intention is that the information obtained from the NSMB, in combination with that obtained from the existing sources, will make the National Mortgage Database a high quality, and timely resource for information on developments in the residential mortgage finance market. The NSMB will be especially critical in ensuring that the National Mortgage Database contains uniquely comprehensive information on the range of nontraditional and subprime mortgage products being offered, the methods by which these mortgages are being marketed and the characteristics, and particularly creditworthiness, of borrowers for these types of loans. These data will enable FHFA to fulfill its regulator mandate set out in HERA and support general rulemaking.
