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.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Certificate of Enforcement of Heavy Vehicle Use Tax

Key Information

Abstract

This information request requires the Governor or a named designee in each State submit a certification each year that the State has received a proof-of-payment of the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) before certain vehicles, those over 55,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), can receive a new registration or renewal of a registration for each vehicle. The administration of the HVUT is primarily the responsibility of the Internal Revenue Service, such as collecting the tax and issuing the proof-of-payment to the vehicle owner, but FHWA is required to perform in-person reviews of the documentation that the State has received, and to receive the annual certifications. The certification is required by all 50 States and the District of Columbia. The document collected by FHWA includes language required in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 23 (Highways), Section 669. The regulation includes required language that will be included in the certification, and directions on how to submit the certification. The certification will cover the previous Federal Fiscal Year (Oct. 1 to Sept. 30) and is due to each of the local FHWA Division Offices by January 1 of the following year. This is a revision required after the expiration of the previous collection notice.

Safe Driver Apprenticeship Pilot Program

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for a 3-year extension of an already approved ICR, which was an emergency request approved by OMB on April 4, 2024, and expires on September 30, 2024. There are no changes in the estimated burden hours or costs for this ICR. The collection of information is associated with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Section 23022 requirement to provide Congress a recommendation regarding whether the level of safety achieved by the SDAP program is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety for equivalent commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers aged 21 years or older. The agency is required to collect (1) data relating to any safety incident involving an apprentice participating in the Apprentice Pilot Program; (2) data relating to any safety incident involving a driver under the age of 21 operating a commercial motor vehicle in intrastate commerce; and (3) such other data relating to the safety of Apprentice Pilot Program participants aged 18 to 20 years operating in interstate commerce as the Secretary determines to be necessary. Information collection tools consist of (1) applications from motor carriers interested in participating in the apprentice pilot program, (2) driver information and consent forms for apprentice drivers, (3) driver information and consent forms for experienced drivers, (4) safety benchmark certifications participating carriers complete for each apprentice, and (5) monthly data submissions from participating motor carriers. The information collection (IC) tools consist of six ICs: IC-1, applications from motor carriers interested in participating in the SDAP program;IC-2, driver information and consent forms for apprentice drivers;IC-3, driver information and consent forms for experienced drivers;IC-4, safety benchmark certifications participating carriers complete for each apprentice; IC-5a, monthly data submissions; and IC-5b, miscellaneous monthly data submissions from participating motor carriers. The data collected will be used to report: 1)The findings and conclusions on the ability of technologies or training provided to apprentices as part of the pilot program to successfully improve safety; 2)An analysis of the safety record of participating apprentices as compared to other CMV drivers; 3)The number of drivers that discontinued participation in the apprenticeship program before completion; 4)A comparison of the safety records of participating drivers before, during, and after each probationary period; and 5)A comparison of each participating driver’s average on-duty time, driving time, and time spent away from home terminal before, during, and after each probationary period. FMCSA will monitor the monthly data being reported by the motor carriers and will identify drivers or carriers that may pose a risk to public safety. It is a necessary feature for FMCSA to comply with 49 CFR 381.505, which requires development of a monitoring plan to ensure adequate safeguards to protect the health and safety of pilot program participants and the general public. Knowing that a driver or carrier was removed from the SDAP program for safety reasons will help FMCSA minimize bias in the final data analysis. The results of the SDAP program will be documented in a technical report that will be delivered to and maintained by FMCSA. This report will be made available to the public on the FMCSA Web site, at www.fmcsa.dot.gov. The estimated annual burden for all respondents is 56,448 hours at a cost of $2,352,675.70.

Extension without change of a currently approved collection
Deep Seabed Mining Regulations for Exploration Licenses

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for the extension of the currently approved information collection. No changes have been made to the collection requirements. NOAA’s regulations at 15 CFR part 970 govern the issuing and monitoring of exploration and production licenses under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act. The NOAA Office for Coastal Management is responsible for approving and administering licenses. Any persons seeking a license must submit certain information that allows NOAA to ensure the applicant meets the standards of the Act. Licensees are required to conduct monitoring and make reports, and they may request revisions, transfers, or extensions of licenses. Information required for the issuance and extension of licenses is provided to fulfill statutory requirements to ensure that license applicants have identified areas of interest for deep seabed hard mineral exploration and production; developed plans for those activities; have the financial resources available to conduct proposed activity; and have considered the effects of the activity on the natural and human environment. This information is used to determine whether licenses should be granted or extended. Exploration licenses and commercial recovery permits under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act are only for activities by U.S. citizens in international waters. No license or permit applications have been received since the early 1980s, and none are expected during this collection period. Two exploration licenses issued in the early 1980s are held by Lockheed Martin Corporation. The licenses are subject to annual reporting requirements and extension requests every five years. No at-sea exploration is authorized under the licenses without further authorization from NOAA.

Online Request to be a Supporter and Declaration of Financial Support

Key Information

Abstract

DHS uses Form I-134A to determine whether a U.S.-based individual has sufficient financial resources and access to those funds to support the beneficiary for the duration of their temporary stay in the United States. Form I-134A is used by a U.S. based individual (the supporter) to request to be considered as a supporter and to agree to provide financial support to the beneficiary named on the form during the beneficiary’s period of stay in the United States. Form I-134A is filed online and is only available for use by specific parole processes. This information collection supports the action being taken by the Secretary of Homeland Security to expand the ability for certain U.S.-based individuals to request to be considered to be a supporter of a beneficiary seeking to be paroled into the United States. Biographic information about the beneficiary provided on Form I-134A will be used for biographic security screening and advance travel authorization from DHS (OMB Control Number 1651-0143) for eligible nationals. Prior to the transmission of this biographic information from USCIS to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for this purpose, the beneficiary will be requested to confirm electronically the accuracy of the biographic information provided on their behalf by the respondent.Emergency Justfication:In this emergency request, USCIS is amending the Form I-134A for potential supporters and co-supporters under the U4U process and the Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to include (1) a requirement to submit biometrics, if necessary, (2) notice of the $30.00 biometric services fee, (3) notice of a requirement for potential co-supporters to complete a Form I-134A, and (4) notice of a requirement for potential supporters to submit a copy of a government-issued photo identity document for themselves and a copy of the beneficiary’s passport biographic data page. USCIS has also made updates to identification elements for organizations by requesting information about the organization’s name, phone number, email address, taxpayer identification number, finances, and confirmation of the organization’s support of the beneficiary. SCIS has monitored trends and will now require submission of biometrics, if necessary, and payment of the biometric services fee from potential supporters, which will be used for additional vetting of potential supporters to provide greater safeguards for beneficiaries. Emergency processing is justified under 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(2)(i) to minimize a possible surge of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans at the southwest land border and ensure adequate support of U4U beneficiaries.

Medication Therapy Management Program - Standardized Format (CMS-10396)

Key Information

Abstract

The MMA of 2003 under title 42 CFR Part 423, Subpart D, established the requirements that Part D sponsors must meet with regard to medication therapy management (MTM) programs. Beginning in 2010, sponsors must offer an interactive, person-to-person comprehensive medication review (CMR) by a pharmacist or other qualified provider at least annually. A CMR is a review of a beneficiary's medications, including prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications, herbal therapies, and dietary supplements, which is intended to aid in assessing medication therapy and optimizing patient outcomes. Sponsors must summarize the CMR and provide an individualized written or printed summary to the beneficiary. The burden associated with the time and effort necessary for Part D sponsors to conduct CMRs with written summaries was estimated previously (RIN 0938-AP77, OCN: 0938-0964).The ACA under Section 10328 specifies that the Secretary, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, develop a standardized format for the action plan and written or printed summary that are given to beneficiaries as a result of their CMRs. The standardized format will replace whatever formats Part D sponsors are using for their written CMR summaries and action plans prior to 2013. Beginning in January, 2013, Part D sponsors will collect information required by the new standardized format, and provide that information to Medicare beneficiaries after their CMRs on forms that comply with the requirements specified by CMS for the standardized format (RIN 0938-AQ00). The use of the standardized format will support a uniform and consistent level of MTMP communications with beneficiaries, improve the ability of beneficiaries to understand and manage their medications safely and effectively, and support improved healthcare outcomes and lower overall healthcare costs. The final standardized format will be posted in the 2013 Call Letter for implementation by Part D sponsors in January 2013.

Survey To Collect Economic Data From Recreational Anglers Along the Atlantic Coast

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a revision and extension to a currently approved information collection. The first data collection effort in 2019 under OMB Control Number 0648–0783 was to assess how changes in saltwater recreational fishing regulations affect angler effort, angler welfare, fishing mortality, and future stock levels. That data collection effort focused on anglers who fished for Atlantic cod and haddock off the Atlantic coast from Maine to Massachusetts (North Atlantic Recreational Fishing Survey I). In 2020, the collection was revised to remove the cod and haddock survey and add a survey focused on anglers who fish for summer flounder, black sea bass, and scup along the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts to North Carolina (North Atlantic Recreational Fishing Survey II). In 2022, the collection was revised again to re-add the original cod and haddock survey back to this control number (North Atlantic Recreational Fishing Survey III). This revision will re-add the survey focused on summer flounder, black sea bass, and scup (North Atlantic Recreational Fishing Survey IV) that was inadvertently removed in the last revision. The objective of these surveys will remain exactly the same as the previous surveys conducted under this control number. That is, to statistically assess how anglers respond to changes in management options and fishing regulations (e.g., bag limits, size limits, dates of open seasons, etc.). The survey data will provide the information fisheries managers need to conduct updated analysis of the socio-economic effects to recreational anglers and to coastal communities of proposed changes in fishing regulations. The recreational fishing community and regional fisheries management councils now rely on species-specific socio-economic studies of recreational fishing for analyses of fisheries policies. These surveys will address the stated need for more species-specific studies.

Key Information

Abstract

This information request requires applicants for the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Highway Use Tax Evasion (HUTE) Grants to use the forms in the grants.gov application. The program is open only to State agencies (50 States and the District of Columbia). The responses are required only when the State agencies are applying for one of the HUTE grants. The applications would be submitted as needed, but no more than once each award cycle (yearly). The applications require several documents that will collect demographic, agency, and budget information, but also must include a detailed project narrative describing the issue(s) to be addressed, and a tentative work plan to address the issue(s). Once submitted through grants.gov, the information would be downloaded by the HUTE program office in the FHWA Office of Highway Policy Information, and analyzed by a panel of subject matter experts who will make recommendations on what projects should be funded. The recommendations are then reviewed by a Senior Review Team and reviewed by several other offices at FHWA. The final approval is made after a review by the Office of the Secretary of Transportation.

Real Estate Lending and Appraisals

Key Information

Abstract

The information collections in parts 7, 34,160, and 190 are required by statute to regulate real estate lending and holding by national banks and savings associations. They are used by the OCC to ensure the safe and sound operation of institutions and institution compliance. This ICR is being filed in connection with final interagency guidance on reconsiderations of value (ROV) of residential real estate valuations. The guidance highlights the risks associated with deficient residential real estate valuations and describes how financial institutions may incorporate ROV processes and controls into established risk management functions. The guidance also provides examples of ROV policies, procedures, and control systems that institutions may choose to implement that identify, address, and mitigate the risk of deficient valuations. The OCC, Board, FDIC, CFPB, and the NCUA are revising their real estate appraisals and evaluations information collections to account for these new policies, procedures, and control systems. Additionally, the banking agencies are updating and aligning their information collections with respect to the burden associated with the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines.

Notice of Claim and Proof of Loss Medium-Term Insurance

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 USC 635, et seq.), the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), facilitates the finance of the export of U.S. goods and services by providing insurance or guarantees to U.S. exporters or lenders financing U.S. exports. By neutralizing the effect of export credit insurance or guarantees offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept, EXIM enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. In the event that a borrower defaults on a transaction insured or guaranteed by EXIM, the insured or guaranteed exporter or lender may seek payment from EXIM by the submission of a claim. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 12 USC 635 (a)(1), to determine if such claim complies with the terms and conditions of the relevant insurance policy or guarantee, as the case may be.

HUD Research, Evaluation, and Demonstration Cooperative Agreements

Key Information

Abstract

HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research is authorized to conduct housing and community development research through its authorizing legislation. The statutory authority for PD&R' s research activities is found in Title V of the 1970 Housing Act, which authorizes programs of "research, studies, testing, and demonstrations relating to the missions and programs of the Department." This authority is codified in the U.S. Code at 12 USC 1701z-1 and is attached as Appendix A. As funding is available, the HUD Research, Evaluation, and Demonstration cooperative agreement program (HUDRD) will be established through the publication of individual NOFOs and will support research that advances the priority research questions outlined in HUD’s Learning Agenda . HUDRD includes HUD’s Research Partnerships program and HUD’s Centers of Excellence initiative. The Learning Agenda draws on input and support from practitioners, advocates, people with lived experience in HUD programs, researchers, and policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels. Through the Department's extensive stakeholder engagement, the Learning Agenda articulates critical, policy-relevant research questions that will inform how HUD invests in evidence building over the next five years.

Contractor's Qualifications and Financial Information; GSA Form 527

Key Information

Abstract

In accordance with Part 9 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Contracting Officers (COs), as good stewards of taxpayers’ dollars, must determine if a prospective contractor is financially responsible through the review and examination of documentation that demonstrates that the prospective contractor’s resources are capable of meeting the needs outlined in the procurement. The information can be obtained by the CO through pre-award surveys, through audit reports, suppliers, subcontractors, customers of the prospective contractor, financial institutions, information available through Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) such as information on the offeror and any immediate owner, predecessor, or subsidiary identified for that offeror in FAPIIS, including information that is linked to FAPIIS such as from System for Award Management (SAM), and Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), as well as any other relevant and other verifiable information. Although there are many systems and methods of collecting the data, there are times when the information collected does not provide sufficient information for the CO to determine if the potential contractor is responsible. In these incidents the COs will request that the prospective contractor complete the GSA Form 527. After the CO has determined that there is a need for the prospective contractor to complete the GSA Form 527, an email request to the prospective contractor requesting the completion of the form is transmitted through the Office of Administrative Services (OAS). The form, once completed by the prospective contractor, is returned to OAS personnel for analysis, in accordance with industry guidelines and the provisions of the proposed contract.

Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection
Tenure, Ownership, and Transition of Agricultural Land (TOTAL)

Key Information

Abstract

This is a reinstatement of two economic surveys last conducted in 2015 for the reference period of 2014. These surveys will be used to obtain data to accurately define the economic status of U.S. farm operations and households. In addition, we will collect data that will show any changes in the ownership of US agricultural lands. Changes from the previous TOTAL survey include collecting data from all 50 States as opposed to excluding Alaska and Hawaii as in previous surveys. Alaska and Hawaii will be included in published landlord statistics for other States and not individually like what will be published for the 15 largest agricultural producing States based on value of sales (core States). The 15 core States for landlord statistics account for a significant amount of the total value of agricultural products produced in the three-year period of 2020–2022.

Stakeholder Measures and Advocate Forms at the National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for OMB to approve the revised information collection Stakeholder Measures and Advocate Forms at NCI for an additional three years. This revision adds one new survey form. The Office of Advocacy Relations (OAR) disseminates cancer-related information to various stakeholders, seeks input and feedback, and facilitates collaboration to advance NCI’s authorized programs. It is beneficial for NCI, through the OAR, to recruit and manage research advocates, which includes collecting demographic information and areas of experience, skill, and interest. Since OAR is responsible for matching advocates to NCI programs and initiatives across the cancer continuum, it is also necessary to measure the satisfaction of both internal and external stakeholders with this collaboration.

Abstract

The Export Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank) pursuant to the Export Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 USC 635, et seq), facilitates the finance of export of U.S. goods and services.

This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 12 USC Sec. 635 (a) (1), to determine eligibility of the applicant for EXIM Bank assistance. This form is used by a financial institution (or broker acting on its behalf) in order to obtain approval for non-honoring coverage of short-term letters of credit. The information received provides Ex-Im Bank staff with the information necessary to make a determination of the eligibility of the applicant and transaction for EXIM Bank assistance under its programs.

Notice of Denial of Medical Coverage (or Payment) (NDMCP) (CMS-10003)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1852(g)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act (SSA) requires Medicare health plans to provide enrollees with a written notice in understandable language that explains the plan's reasons for denying a request for a service or payment for a service the enrollee has already received. The written notice must also include a description of the applicable appeals processes. Regulatory authority for this notice is set forth in Subpart M of Part 422 at 42 CFR 422.568, 422.572, 417.600(b), and 417.840. Section 1932 of the Social Security Act (SSA) sets forth requirements for Medicaid managed care plans, including beneficiary protections related to appealing a denial of coverage or payment. The Medicaid managed care appeals regulations are set forth in Subpart F of Part 438 of Title 42 of the CFR. Rules on the content of the written denial notice can be found at 42 CFR 438.404. This notice combines the existing Notice of Denial of Medicare Coverage with the Notice of Denial of Payment and includes optional language to be used in cases where a Medicare health plan enrollee also receives full Medicaid benefits that are being managed by the Medicare health plan.
