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.

Request for Payment of Monetary Allowance for Outer Burial Receptacles

Key Information

Abstract

Section 2306(e) of title 38, United States Code (U.S.C.), authorizes VA to provide an outer burial receptacle for each new grave used for casketed remains in an open VA national cemetery. Section 2203 of Public Law 116-315, the “Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020 amended section 2306(e) to expand VA’s authority to provide outer burial receptacles to include burials in cemeteries that are the subject of a grant to a State or Tribal Organization under 38 U.S.C. 2408. VA proposes to implement this authority in three ways: 1) by reimbursing States and Tribal Organizations for the cost of outer burial receptacles that are pre-placed as part of a new construction or expansion cemetery grant project, 2) by paying a monetary allowance to States and Tribal Organizations for the cost of outer burial receptacles that are placed at the time of interment, and 3) by paying an allowance to individuals who privately purchase an outer burial receptacle. VA already has the information required to provide reimbursement for OBRs that are placed as part of construction, so no information collection is required to issue payment. However, to issue payment of the monetary allowance to a State or Tribal Organization for OBRs placed at the time of interment, or to an individual for a privately purchased OBR VA needs information regarding the number of burials where such graveliners were used, and proof of purchase for privately purchased outer burial receptacles. The new form will provide the necessary information to issue payment and serves as a control tool allowing VA to ensure compliance with regulations.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Nomination Process for National Marine Sanctuaries.

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for revision and extension of an existing information collection. There are no changes to the sanctuary nomination process. However, NOAA added an additional information collection to cover the burden imposed by requesting additional information from submitting parties. This added two additional responses, 16 hours, and $48 in miscellaneous costs. National marine sanctuary regulations provide that the public can submit areas of the marine and Great Lakes environments for consideration by NOAA as a national marine sanctuary through the sanctuary nomination process (15 CFR part 922). Persons wanting to submit nominations for consideration should submit information on the qualifying criteria and management considerations for the site to be nominated. The Office of National Marine Sanctuaries reviews the submissions, which could result in the nomination being added to an inventory of areas that NOAA may consider for sanctuary designation at some point in the future. Sanctuary designation is a separate public process that would be conducted pursuant to the requirements of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act, and all other applicable laws. This proposed information collection is for national marine sanctuary nominations received pursuant to NOAA regulations that provide that the public may nominate special places of the marine environment through the sanctuary nomination process (15 CFR part 922).

Revision of a currently approved collection
Northwest Region Federal Fisheries Permits

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a revision and extension of a current information collection. The revision, pursuant to final rule 0648-BN08, will add a new permit application for directed groundfish open access fishing; no other revisions are requested. This collection of information is required by National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), West Coast Region – Seattle (WCR-SEATTLE). This supporting statement addresses data collections authorized by the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP), developed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC or Council) under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, U.S.C. 1801 et seq. (Magnuson-Stevens Act or MSA). The FMP governs the groundfish fishery off Washington, Oregon, and California (WOC). Section 303(b)(1) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act specifically recognized the need for permit issuance. Almost every international, federal, state, and local fishery management authority recognizes the value of and uses permits as an integral part of their management systems. Identification of the participants, their gear types, descriptions of their vessels, and expected activity levels are needed to measure the consequences of management controls, and is an effective tool in the enforcement of other fishery regulations. Experience has shown that fines for violations of specific fishery regulations are not as effective as the threat of a permit revocation that would exclude the vessel from the fishery altogether. Management of and regulations for Pacific halibut in the Pacific are developed on the international, Federal, and state levels by the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC), the Council, the NMFS West Coast Region, and the states of Washington, Oregon, and California. The IPHC and NMFS manage fishing for Pacific halibut through regulations established under authority of the Convention between the United States Halibut Fishery of the Northern Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea (Convention), the Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982, 16 U.S.C. 773c (Halibut Act), and Section 303(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Regulations for the guided sport fishery for Pacific halibut (recreational charter halibut fishery) on the West Coast are determined annually by the Council and the IPHC. NMFS publishes these regulations each year as part of the IPHC annual management measures. Regulations for the Pacific halibut fisheries are at 50 CFR 300 subpart E. Responses to the items in the supporting statement are broken out by the various type of permit function: 1) application and reporting requirements for an exempted (experimental) fishing permits (EFPs) including Letters of Acknowledgement (LOAs) for EFPs and Exempted Educational Activity Authorizations (EEAAs); 2) transfer and renewal of Pacific Coast Groundfish limited entry permits (LEPs), including other information collections necessary for the sablefish permit stacking program; (3) application and renewal of a permit for Pacific halibut commercial and recreational charter halibut fisheries in IPHC Regulatory Area 2A off of WOC; (4) application and renewal of a permit for the directed groundfish open access fishery off of WOC. For each section of the information collection, we have presented the total number of burden hours and cost burden. Currently, there are 395 LEPs, of which 164 permits have a sablefish endorsement. The number of EFPs varies from year to year depending upon the number of applications submitted to and approved by PFMC and NMFS. The number of Pacific halibut permits is 550 permits each year. The number of directed open access groundfish (DOAG) fishery permits per year is 400.

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection will be used to evaluate the Pediatric Mental Health Care Access (PMHCA) Program and the Screening and Treatment for Maternal Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders (MMHSUD) Program. The evaluation will be used to study the efforts of PMHCA and MMHSUD programs to achieve key outcomes (e.g., increase in access to behavioral health services; HPs trained; identification of community-based resources, including counselors or family service providers) and to measure whether and to what extent awardee programs are associated with changes in these outcomes. The evaluation will examine changes over time within and/or across PMHCA and MMHSUD programs, regarding PMHCA- and MMHSUD-enrolled/participating HPs’ and practices’ (1) capacity to address patients’ behavioral health and access to behavioral health care, through screening, assessment, treatment, and referral for behavioral health conditions, and (2) use of program services (i.e., consultation, care coordination, training).

Subpart D-Private Contracts and Supporting Regulations (CMS-R-234)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 4507 of BBA 1997 amended section 1802 of the Social Security Act to permit certain physicians and practitioners to opt-out of Medicare and to provide through private contracts services that would otherwise be covered by Medicare. Under such contracts the mandatory claims submission and limiting charge rules of section 1848(g) of the Act would not apply. Subpart D and the Supporting Regulations contained in 42 CFR 405.410, 405.430, 405.435, 405.440, 405.445, and 405.455, counters the effect of certain provisions of Medicare law that, absent section 4507 of BBA 1997, preclude physicians and practitioners from contracting privately with Medicare beneficiaries to pay without regard to Medicare limits.

The natural gas companies file the necessary information with the Commission so that Commission staff can determine from the data if the transaction qualifies for exemption. There are three elements to the collection: • A report within forty-eight hours of the commencement of the transportation, sale, or exchange; • A request to extend the sixty-day term of the emergency transportation, if needed; and • A termination report. The data required to be filed for the 48-hour report and the termination report consist of: • The dates the transaction commenced and terminated; • The nature of the emergency; • The total amount and average daily amount of emergency natural gas to be or that was purchased, exchanged or transported; • The purchase price of the gas; • The transportation rate; • The identity of all the participants.

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection pertains to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. 201, et seq., special employment provisions. These provisions relate to restrictions on industrial homework and to the use of special certificates that allow for the employment of categories of workers who may be paid less than the general Federal statutory minimum wage to the extent necessary to prevent curtailment of their employment opportunities. For this revision request specifically, the Department proposes to revise forms WH-226 (Application for Authority to Employ Workers with Disabilities at Special Minimum Wages), WH-226A (Supplemental Data Sheet for Application for Authority to Employ Workers with Disabilities at Special Minimum Wages), and the Department’s webpage with instructions for section 14(c) certificate applications. The proposed changes are nonsubstantive and clarify instructions for completing the WH-226 and/or WH-226A forms via paper or electronic format.

USAID Implementing Partners Employee Record Collection to support State Departments SIV COM Approval

Key Information

Abstract

The Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program is intended for Afghan nationals who were employed by or on the behalf of the U.S. government (such as an employee of a contract awarded by the USG) for a period of at least one year and is managed by the Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs. The State Department directed USAID to help facilitate the Chief of Mission (COM) approval step of this process by providing employment information for eligible former employees of USAID contractors in Afghanistan to help reduce their backlog. Among other considerations, COM approval requires confirmation of the Afghan applicant’s qualifying employment by or on behalf of the U.S. government (such as an employee of a contract awarded by the USG) and demonstration of faithful and valuable service in Afghanistan. USAID’s collection will assist State with expediting the pre-COM approval process in light of the dire circumstances many former U.S.-associated individuals face in Afghanistan under the current Taliban regime.

This system's primary purpose is to provide a central system to monitor and manage the Public Housing Agency (PHAs) use of vouchers and expenditure of program funds, and is the base for budget formulation and budget implementation. The VMS collects PHAs' actual cost data that enables HUD to perform and control cash management activities; the costs reported are the based for quarterly HAP and Fee obligations and advance disbursements in a timely manner, and reconciliations for overages and shortages on a quarterly basis.

Next Generation Volcano Hazards Assessment

Key Information

Abstract

The NGVHA project, currently funded within the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Volcano Hazards Program (VHP), aims to produce the next generation of comprehensive volcanic hazard assessments (VHAs) for high-priority U.S. volcanoes. The NGVHA is a framework for creating up-to-date, actionable volcano-hazards assessments for high-priority U.S. volcanoes. These assessments are based on multidisciplinary research and modeling and incorporate the best practices of user-centered design. Because the usefulness and usability of USGS VHAs depend on input from the audiences for which they are produced, it is necessary to incorporate user-needs elicitation into the hazard-assessment creation process. The systematic collection of this information through open-ended ethnographic data-collection methods (e.g., semi-structured interviews, workshops, surveys) will result in a significant improvement to both the volcano-hazard products and associated services provided by the VHP. Most of these methods can be completed in part or fully remotely (via phone or video calls or online meetings). In addition, broader stakeholder- and community surveys can be conducted via virtual methods (online surveys, social media) in order to reduce the paperwork burden and more efficiently analyze data. The USGS VHP already has a strong presence on social media and the web, which enables us to reach a wide audience without placing an undue burden on any particular group.

Coverage of Certain Preventive Services under the Affordable Care Act—Private Sector

Key Information

Abstract

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, (the Affordable Care Act) was enacted on March 23, 2010 and amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, Public Law 111-152 on March 30, 2010. The Affordable Care Act added section 2713 to the Public Health Service (PHS) Act and incorporated this provision into ERISA and the Code. The Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury first published interim final rules on July 19, 2010, which implements the requirements of PHS Act section 2713, including the requirement that non-grandfathered group health insurance coverage to provide benefits for certain preventive services without cost sharing, including benefits for certain women's preventive health services as provided for in comprehensive guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration. The Departments subsequently published regulations establishing an exemption for certain religious objectors with respect to the requirement to cover contraception pursuant to comprehensive guidelines supported by HRSA. In 2013, the Department issued final rules, which clarified the definition of religious employer for purposes of the religious employer exemption and also provided accommodations for health coverage established or maintained or arranged by certain nonprofit religious organizations with religious objections to contraceptive services (eligible organizations). The 2018 final rules expanded the exemption to include additional entities (any kind of employer) and persons that object based on religious beliefs or moral convictions objecting to contraceptive or sterilization coverage, and by making the accommodation compliance process optional for eligible organizations instead of mandatory. The regulations contain the following collections of information. First, each organization seeking to be treated as an eligible organization for the optional accommodation process offered under the regulation must either notify an issuer or third-party administrator using the EBSA Form 700 method of self-certification or provide notice to HHS of its religious or moral objection to coverage of all or a subset of contraceptive services. Second, a health insurance issuer or third-party administrator providing or arranging separate payments for contraceptive services for participants and beneficiaries in insured plans (or student enrollees and covered dependents in student health insurance coverage) of eligible organizations is required to provide a written notice to plan participants and beneficiaries (or student enrollees and covered dependents) informing them of the availability of such payments. The notice must be separate from but, contemporaneous with (to the extent possible) any application materials distributed in connection with enrollment (or re-enrollment) in group or student coverage of the eligible organization in any plan year to which the accommodation is to apply and will be provided annually. To satisfy the notice requirement, issuers may, but are not required to, use the model language set forth in the 2018 final rules or substantially similar language. Third, an eligible organization may also revoke its use of the accommodation process and must provide participants and beneficiaries written notice of such revocation as soon as possible.
