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.

Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality Reporting Program (CMS-10530)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 109(a) of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (TRHCA) (Pub. L. 109-432) amended section 1833(t) of the Social Security Act by adding a new subsection (17) that affects the payment rate update applicable to Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) payments for services furnished by hospitals in outpatient settings on or after January 1, 2009. Section 1833(t)(17)(A) of the Social Security Act, which applies to hospitals as defined under section 1886(d)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act, requires that hospitals that fail to report data required for quality measures selected by the Secretary in the form and manner required by the Secretary under section 1833(t)(17)(B) of the Social Security Act will incur a reduction in their annual payment update (APU) factor to the hospital outpatient department fee schedule by 2.0 percentage points. Hospital OQR Program payment determinations are made based on Hospital OQR Program quality measure data reported and supporting forms submitted by hospitals as specified through rulemaking. To reduce burden, a variety of different data collection mechanisms are employed, with every consideration taken to employ existing data and data collection systems.

Rural Emergency Hospital Quality Reporting (REHQR) (CMS-10870)

Key Information

Abstract

The Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), 2021, was signed into law in December 2020. In this legislation, Congress established a new Medicare provider type: Rural Emergency Hospitals (REHs). Section 125 of Division CC of the CAA, 2021 added section 1861(kkk) to the Social Security Act (the Act). This section defines an REH as a facility that, in relevant part, was as of December 27, 2020: (1) a Critical Access Hospital (CAH) or a subsection (d) hospital with not more than 50 beds located in a county (or equivalent unit of local government) in a rural area (defined in section 1886(d)(2)(D) of the Act); or (2) was a subsection (d) hospital with not more than 50 beds that was treated as being in a rural area pursuant to section 1886(d)(8)(E) of the Act. Under section 1861(kkk)(7) of the Act, as added by section 125 of Division CC of the CAA, 2021, the Secretary is required to establish quality measurement reporting requirements for REHs, which may include the use of a small number of claims-based measures or patient experience surveys. An REH must submit quality measure data to the Secretary, and the Secretary shall establish procedures to make the data available to the public on a CMS website.

Medical Qualification Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This request for renewal provides an increase from the previously approved annual burden hours as a result of updated driver and motor carrier population information, program statistics, National Registry statistics, and wage data. The information collection requirements are mandatory and apply to drivers, motor carriers, MEs, ME applicant testing organizations, and TCs. IC-1: Physical Qualification Standards; MEs must provide driver medical exam information for drivers they examine on medical forms and in the National Registry. The ME can determine if the driver is medically qualified. The ME must complete and furnish the original paper MEC to the driver. The driver must complete driver health history portion of the MER Form at least every 2 years. The motor carrier must file a MEC in DQ record. IC-2: Resolution of Medical Conflict; The medical conflict application provision provides a mechanism for drivers and motor carriers to request FMCSA to make a final decision to resolve conflicting medical evaluations when either party does not accept the decision of a medical specialist. FMCSA uses the information to determine if the driver should or should not be qualified. Motor carriers are required to submit an application to FMCSA for resolution (up to 3 cases a year) and attend a hearing (1 per year) if FMCSA deems necessary. IC-3: Medical Exemptions; FMCSA may grant a vision, hearing, or seizure exemption from a physical qualification standard. The driver is to complete an application for new exemption and exemption renewal every 2 years and the motor carrier is to copy and file the exemption in the DQ file. IC4: Skill Performance Evaluation Certificate; The SPE Certificate program requires drivers to complete an application for the new SPE certificate, complete an application for SPE certificate renewal every 2 years, provide a copy of the MER Form and MEC to FMCSA, and for motor carriers to copy and file the SPE Certificate in the DQ record. IC-5: National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners; MEs are required to provide contact and employment data when registering to become a certified ME. This data is used to provide the public with contact information for those medical professionals who are certified by FMCSA to conduct interstate CMV driver medical exams. MEs are required to submit the results of each CMV driver medical exam they complete daily, copies of MER forms, and MECs via the National Registry. IC-6: Medical Examiner’s Certification Integration Final Rule; Beginning on June 23, 2025, MEs will no longer be required to complete and furnish the original written MEC to qualified drivers when the driver is a CDL/CLP holder. This information will be electronically transmitted to the SDLA. Employers will no longer need to request a copy of the handwritten MEC for CDL/CLP holders. In addition, employers will no longer be required to verify the ME’s National Registry number for MECs issued to CDL/CLP holders because only MEs listed on the National Registry will be able to forward MEC information to the National Registry. IC-7: Qualifications of Drivers; Diabetes Standard; An individual with ITDM is able to obtain an MEC from an ME for up to a maximum of 12 months if the TC, the healthcare professional who manages, and prescribes insulin for the treatment of the individual’s diabetes, attests to the ME the individual maintains a stable insulin regimen and proper control of diabetes, and the ME determines the individual meets FMCSA’s physical qualification standards. The information provided by the TC enables the ME to make a qualification determination based on whether the driver meets all the physical qualification requirements.

H-2 Petitioner's Employment Related or Fee Related Notification

Key Information

Abstract

USCIS requires H-2 petitioners to notify USCIS when (1) a worker fails to report to work within 5 workdays of the employment start date listed on the petition; (2) the labor or services for which H-2 workers were hired is completed more than 30 days early; (3) a worker leaves the worksite without notice; or (4) a worker is terminated prior to the completion of the labor or services for which the worker was hired. The notification requirement is necessary to ensure that H-2 workers maintain their nonimmigrant status and helps prevent H-2 workers from engaging in unauthorized employment. The information collected in employment-related notification submitted by H-2 petitioners is used by USCIS, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). USCIS may forward relevant information to both ICE and CBP. ICE uses the information for future adjudicative purposes and CBP uses it to collect all liquidated damage payments from H-2 petitioners. Establishing compliance with this notification requirement is also a condition of H-2A petitioners being able to request substitutions for H-2A workers who have been admitted to the U.S according to 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5)(ix).

Implementation of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013

Key Information

Abstract

The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (“VAWA”) protects qualified tenants, participants, applicants, and affiliated individuals in all HUD-covered housing programs, who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. On November 16, 2016, HUD published a final rule (VAWA Rule) at 81 FR 80724, implementing VAWA’s provisions in its housing programs. The VAWA Rule includes the following Appendices, which entail certain reporting and recordkeeping burdens: (A) Notice of Occupancy Rights Under the Violence Against Women Act; (B) Model Emergency Transfer Plan for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking; (C) Certification of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking, and Alternate Documentation; and (D) Emergency Transfer Request for Certain Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking. Under the VAWA Rule, PHAs, owners, and managers (collectively “Covered Housing Providers” or “CHPs”) Under the VAWA Rule, each CHP must make use of Appendix A and Appendix C, by providing copies of the Notice of Occupancy Rights and the Certification form. Each CHP presented with a claim for continued or initial tenancy or assistance, based on the victim’s status as a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, may request that the victim document or provide written evidence to demonstrate that the violence occurred, and Certification form is one such way of documenting the violence. Each CHP must also establish an emergency transfer plan, although it need not be modeled on Appendix B. CHPs’ use of an Emergency Transfer Request form, like the model in Appendix D, is also discretionary. CHPs must track and report annually to HUD if they have any Emergency Transfer Requests and outcomes. Finally, under the VAWA Rule, CHPs may opt to provide a lease bifurcation to VAWA-covered individuals.

Disability Report - Adult

Key Information

Abstract

State Disability Determination Services (DDS) use Form SSA-3368, Disability Report – Adult, and its electronic versions, to determine if an adult disability applicant’s impairment(s) is severe and, if so, how the impairment(s) affects the applicant’s ability to work. This determination dictates whether the DDS and SSA will find the applicant disabled. The information we collect on the SSA 3368 is used by the State Disability Determination Services (DDS) to obtain evidence and evaluate whether or not an individual is found disabled. The collection is mandatory for applicants filing to obtain Title II disability benefits or Title XVI Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. We collect this information from the individual one time. We collect the information via several modalities: the SSA-3368-BK PDF paper form, the EDCS SSA-3368 Intranet application, and the i3368 Internet application. The respondents complete the SSA-3368 by themselves with self help information available, or another may complete the paper form or electronic application on their behalf. The respondents generally do not need information from someone else to complete the application. The respondents are disability applicants or third parties assisting the applicants applying for Title II disability benefits or Title XVI SSI payments. We are submitting a non-substantive Change Request to revise the informational langauge on the save and exit screens for the Internet modallity, i3368.

Sections 74.1203(a)(3), Interference, and 74.1204(f), Protection of FM broadcast, FM Translator and LP100 stations

Key Information

Abstract

On May 9, 2019, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, Amendment of Part 74 of the Commission’s Rules Regarding FM Translator Interference, FCC 19-40, MB Docket No. 18-119, adopting proposals to streamline the rules relating to interference caused by FM translators and to expedite the translator interference complaint resolution process. These measures are designed to limit or avoid protracted and contentious interference disputes, provide translator licensees additional investment certainty and flexibility to remediate interference, and provide affected stations earlier and expedited resolution of interference complaints. Under this new information collection, the following information collection requirements require OMB approval. Specifically, the FM Translator Interference Report and Order pertains to this new Information Collection as it codifies the translator interference listener complaint requirements under section 74.1201(k) and sections 74.1203(a)(3) (actual interference) and 74.1204(f) (predicted interference) of the rules. The Commission defines the requirements for a listener complaint submitted with a translator interference claim in section 74.1201(k) as a complaint that is signed and dated by the listener and contains the following information: (1) the complainant’s full name, address, and phone number; (2) a clear, concise, and accurate description of the location where the interference is alleged or predicted to occur; (3) a statement that the complainant listens to the desired station using an over-the-air signal at least twice a month, to demonstrate the complainant is a regular listener; and (4) a statement that the complainant has no legal, employment, financial, or familial affiliation or relationship with the desired station, to demonstrate the complainant is disinterested. Electronic signatures are acceptable for this purpose. The FM Translator Interference Report and Order establishes a minimum number of listener complaints, ranging from 6 to 25, depending on the population served within the protected contour of the complaining station. The Commission explains that a proportionate approach, which was supported by multiple commenters, would be fairer and more effective than a single minimum number for all complaining stations. In addition to the required minimum number of valid listener complaints, a station submitting a translator interference claim package pursuant to either section 74.1203(a)(3) or 74.1204(f) must include: (1) a map plotting the specific locations of the alleged interference in relation to the 45 dBu contour of the complaining station; (2) a statement that the complaining station is operating within its licensed parameters; (3) a statement that the complaining station licensee has used commercially reasonable efforts to inform the relevant translator licensee of the claimed interference and attempted private resolution; and (4) U/D data demonstrating that at each listener location the ratio of undesired to desired signal strength exceeds -20 dB for co-channel situations, -6 dB for first-adjacent channel situations or 40 dB for second- or third-adjacent channel situations, calculated using the Commission’s standard contour prediction methodology set out in section 73.313. In the FM Translator Interference Report and Order, the Commission outlines two paths for resolving interference if the translator decides to continue operation on its original channel. First, a translator operator may resolve each listener complaint by working with a willing listener to resolve reception issues. The translator operator must then document and certify that the desired station can now be heard on the listener’s receiver, i.e., that the adjustment to or replacement of the listener’s receiving equipment actually resolved the interference.

Summary Plan Description Requirements Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as Amended

Key Information

Abstract

The Department has promulgated regulations governing the content and furnishing of SPDs, SMMs, and SMRs at 29 CFR 102-2 (Style and Format of Summary Plan Descriptions); 29 CFR 2520.102-3 (Contents of Summary Plan Descriptions); 29 CFR 2520.102-4 (Option for Different Summary Plan Descriptions); 29 CFR 2520.2520.104b-1 (Disclosure); 29 CFR 2520.104b-2 (Summary Plan Descriptions); 29 CFR 104b-3 (Summary of Material Modifications to the Plan and Changes in the Information Required to be Included in the Summary Plan Description); and 29 CFR 104(b)-(4) (Alternative Methods of Compliance for Furnishing the Summary Plan Description and Summaries of Material Modifications of a Pension Plan to a Retired Participant, a Separated Participant, and a Beneficiary Receiving Benefits). These regulations set standards for the content of these disclosure documents, the methods of furnishing that will satisfy the statutory disclosure requirements, and alternative methods of compliance. In particular, regulations at 29 CFR 2520.104b-1(c) specifically describe the circumstances under which the administrator of an employee benefit plan may furnish required disclosure documents, including the SPD/SMM/SMR, through electronic media. The Department's regulations contain information collections that constitute mandatory third-party disclosure requirements applicable to the majority of Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)-covered pension and welfare benefit plans. The Department has determined that these information collections are necessary in order to ensure the participants and beneficiaries in employee benefit plans covered under ERISA receive adequate information about the benefits due to them and their rights under the plans.

Consolidated Vehicle Owner's Manual Requirements for Motor Vehicles and Motor Vehicle Equipment

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is for fifteen mandatory and voluntary disclosure requirements for manufacturers of motor vehicles and items of motor vehicle equipment. NHTSA has authority to require manufacturers to provide information to first purchasers of motor vehicles or items of motor vehicle equipment related to performance and safety in printed materials that are attached to or accompany the motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment. NHTSA has exercised this authority to require manufacturers to provide certain specified safety information to be readily available to consumers and purchasers of motor vehicles and items of motor vehicle equipment. Some of these requirements are contained in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) that set performance requirements for motor vehicles and items of motor vehicle equipment. The other requirements are contained in separate regulations. This ICR is a request for reinstatement with modification of a previously approved collection of information pertaining to the requirement to provide certain information to consumers in vehicles’ owner’s manuals that are required to be provided with new motor vehicles. Manufacturers must comply with these requirements whenever they manufacture a vehicle or equipment item that is subject to the requirements. The purpose of the required disclosures is to provide important safety information to vehicle owners. NHTSA is requesting a revision of this collection to include owner’s manual requirements that were established as part of the Seat Belt Reminder System final rule. The revisions to this ICR include the new owner’s manual requirements in 49 CFR Part 571.208. Since NHTSA last requested approval for this ICR, the estimated burden hours have increased by 1,544 hours (8,628 hours to 10,172 hours) and printing costs have increased by $755,040 ($7,971,461 to $8,726,501). The change in burden reflects changes as a result of the rulemaking requiring the development and publication of new information for the owner’s manual. Printing costs have increased due to accounting for the estimated number of vehicles that will be equipped with seat belt reminder systems and will therefore need to comply with the requirements to provide system information and operating instructions.
