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.

Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) (CMS-P-0015A)

Key Information

Abstract

The Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) is a continuous, multipurpose survey of a nationally representative sample of aged, disabled, and institutionalized Medicare beneficiaries. MCBS, which is sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), is the only comprehensive source of information on the health status, health care use and expenditures, health insurance coverage, and socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the entire spectrum of Medicare beneficiaries. The purpose of this revision is to seek approval for CMS to add new items on sleep apnea, thyroid disease, and bowel disease, remove content that is no longer relevant to the goals of the survey, and update existing content to better meet the policy needs of CMS and stakeholders. To ensure the sustainability of the survey and to maintain a reasonable level of respondent burden, it is necessary to routinely review MCBS survey content and remove items that are no longer as relevant to the policy landscape or which are no longer performing well. The requested deletions are a result of a content reduction process that CMS developed in 2024 and is currently using to review MCBS survey content in the Community and Facility instruments. The goals of this process are three-fold: 1) to promote efficiency by streamlining the questionnaire and reducing respondent burden; 2) to continuously assess utility of information collected by the MCBS and remove questions that are no longer relevant, and 3) to maintain the production of high-quality data by removing content that is no longer performing well. For this full clearance revision, CMS has used the content reduction process to identify items that a) are low performing due to difficulty of administration or data quality issues, b) are no longer needed at the same frequency of administration, c) require updated question text or response options, or d) no longer match the existing healthcare landscape or require further evaluation.

45 CFR 303.7 - Provision of Services in Intergovernmental IV-D; Federally Approved Forms

Key Information

Abstract

The intergovernmental forms are critically important for the effective and efficient processing of child support cases under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) 2008. Since enactment of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, section 466(f) of the Social Security Act (Act) has required U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as a condition of receiving federal funds, to enact certain amendments to UIFSA. Section 311(b) of UIFSA requires that a petition and accompanying documents conform substantially with the standard intergovernmental forms mandated by federal law, and 45 CFR 303.7(a)(4) requires state child support agencies to use federally approved forms in intergovernmental cases, unless a country has provided alternative forms in an Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) country-specific caseworker’s guide. All policy references are documented in Attachment 1.

Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage (ABN) (CMS-R-131)

Key Information

Abstract

The use of written notices to inform beneficiaries of their liability under specific conditions has been available since Title XVIII of the Social Security Act (the Act), section 1879, Limitation On Liability, was enacted in 1972 (P.L. 92-603). Similar required notification and liability protections are available under other sections of the Act: section 1834(a)(18) refund requirements for certain items when unsolicited telephone contacts are made, section 1834(j)(4) for the same types of items when there is neither a required advance coverage determination nor required supplier number; 1834(a)(15) also for advance determinations for these items and section 1842(l) applicable to physicians not accepting assignment. Implementing regulations are found at 42 CFR 411.404(b) and (c), and 411.408(d)(2) and (f), on written notice requirements. These statutory requirements apply only to Original Medicare, not Medicare Advantage plans. Under section 1879 of the Act, Medicare beneficiaries may be held financially responsible for items or services usually covered under Medicare, but denied in an individual case under specific statutory exclusions, if the beneficiary is informed prior to furnishing the issues or services that Medicare is likely to deny payment. When required, the ABN is delivered by Part B paid physicians, providers (including institutional providers like outpatient hospitals) practitioners (such as chiropractors), and suppliers, as well as hospice providers and Religious Non-medical Health Care Institutions paid under Part A. Other Medicare institutional providers paid under Part A use other approved notice for this purpose.

Patent Cooperation Treaty

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information is required by the provisions of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), which became operational in June 1978 and is administered by the International Bureau (IB) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva, Switzerland. The provisions of the PCT have been implemented by the United States in Part IV of Title 35 of the U.S. Code (Chapters 35-37) and Subpart C of Title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations (37 CFR 1.401-1.499). The purpose of the PCT is to provide a standardized filing format and procedure that allows an applicant to seek protection for an invention in several countries by filing one international application in one location, in one language, and paying one initial set of fees. The information in this collection is used by the public to submit a patent application under the PCT and by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to fulfill its obligation to process, search, and examine the application as directed by the treaty. The filing, search, written opinion, and publication procedures are provided for in Chapter I of the PCT. Additional procedures for a preliminary examination of PCT international applications are provided for in optional PCT Chapter II. Under Chapter I, an applicant can file an international application in the national or home office (Receiving Office (RO)) or the IB. The USPTO acts as the United States Receiving Office (RO/US) for international applications filed by residents and nationals of the United States. These applicants send most of their correspondence directly to the USPTO, but they may also file certain documents directly with the IB. The USPTO serves as an International Searching Authority (ISA) to perform searches and issues an international search report (ISR) and a written opinion on international applications. The USPTO also issues an international preliminary report on patentability (IPRP Chapter II) when acting as an International Preliminary Examining Authority (IPEA). The RO reviews the application and, if it contains all of the necessary information, assigns a filing date to the application. The RO maintains the home copy of the international application and forwards the record copy of the application to the IB and the search copy to the ISA. The IB maintains the record copy of all international applications and publishes them 18 months after the earliest priority date, which is the earliest date for which a benefit is claimed. The ISA performs a search to determine whether there is any prior art relevant to the claims of the international application and will issue an international search report and written opinion as to whether each claim is novel, involves an inventive step, and is industrially applicable. The ISA then forwards the international search report and written opinion to the applicant and the IB. The IB will normally publish the application and search report 18 months after the priority date, unless early publication is requested by the applicant. Until international publication, no third person or national or regional office is allowed access to the international patent application unless so requested or authorized by the applicant. If the applicant wishes to withdraw the application (and does so before international publication), international publication does not take place. Under Chapter II of the Treaty, an applicant who has filed an international application in an RO can demand an international preliminary examination of the application by an IPEA, such as the USPTO. The Demand is made separately from the international application and contains prescribed particulars, language, and form. The International preliminary examination is a second evaluation of the potential patentability of the claimed invention, using the same standards on which the written opinion of the ISA was based. A copy of the examination report is sent to the applicant and to the IB.

Information collections contained in 10 CFR Part 51 for Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Licensing of New Nuclear Reactors Final Rule

Key Information

Abstract

FINAL RULE: GENERIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR LICENSING OF NEW NUCLEAR REACTORS The current submission is a request for a new clearance number, to be discontinued once the burden and associated information collections can be transferred into 3150-0021 (10 CFR Part 51). The final rule amends the regulations that govern the NRC's environmental reviews of new nuclear reactor applications under NEPA. The NRC's regulations in § 51.45, “Environmental report,” require each applicant to prepare and submit an environmental report which includes, among other things, a description of the proposed action, a statement of its purposes, a description of the environment affected, and a discussion of the environmental impacts of the proposed action and alternatives. The rulemaking codifies the generic findings of NUREG-2249, “Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Licensing of New Nuclear Reactors” (NR GEIS), which presents impact analyses for the environmental issues common to many new nuclear reactors that can be addressed generically, thereby eliminating the need to repeatedly reproduce the same analyses each time a licensing application is submitted. The rule reduces burden on an applicant based on potential simplifications in the environmental report that an applicant must submit to the NRC associated with a new nuclear reactor licensing application. The applicant’s environmental report must assess the environmental impacts of constructing and operating a new nuclear reactor and of alternatives that meet the purpose and need. The applicant is not required to assess the environmental impacts of NR GEIS Category 1 issues (i.e., issues for which a generic analysis is possible) if (1) the applicant has demonstrated that its project is bounded by the applicable nuclear power plant parameter envelope and site parameter envelope values and assumptions, and (2) the applicant has not identified any new and significant information that would change the conclusions in the NR GEIS. If a value or assumption is not met or bounded, then the applicant may be able to limit its analysis to just the impact of not meeting the value or assumption. Similarly, if the applicant identifies new and significant information that would change the conclusions in this NR GEIS, then the applicant may be able to limit its analysis to just the impact of the new and significant information.

Medicare Enrollment Application: Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Suppliers (Form 855S)

Key Information

Abstract

The primary function of the CMS 855S Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) supplier enrollment application is to gather information from a supplier that tells us who it is, whether it meets certain qualifications to be a health care supplier, where it renders its services or supplies, the identity of the owners of the enrolling entity, and information necessary to establish correct claims payment. The goal of this revision of the CMS 855S is to simplify and clarify the current data collection and to remove obsolete and/or redundant questions. Grammar and spelling errors were corrected. Limited informational text has been added within the application form and instructions in conjunction with links to websites when greater detail is needed by the supplier. To clarify current data collection differentiations and to be in sync with accreditation coding, Section 3D (“Products and Services Furnished by This Supplier”) has been updated. This revision does not offer any new material data collection.

VA Acquisition Regulation Clause 852.211-72, Technical Industry Standards

Key Information

Abstract

This Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) submission seeks an extension of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval No. 2900-0586 for collection of information for both commercial and non-commercial item, service, and construction solicitations and contracts using VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) clause 852.211-72, Technical Industry Standards, as prescribed in CFR Title 48, Federal Acquisition Regulations System, VAAR 811.204-70, Contract clause. VAAR clause 852.211-72, Technical Industry Standards, requires that items offered for sale to VA under the solicitation conform to certain technical industry standards, such as United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Institutional Meat Purchase Specifications, and that the contractor furnish evidence to VA that the items meet that requirement. The evidence is normally in the form of a tag or seal affixed to the item, such as a label on beef product. In most cases, this requires no additional effort on the part of the contractor, as the items come from the factory with the tags already in place, as part of the manufacturer's standard manufacturing operation. Occasionally, for items not already meeting standards or for items not previously tested, a contractor will have to furnish a certificate from an acceptable laboratory certifying that the items furnished have been tested in accordance with, and conform to, the specified standards. Only firms whose products have not previously been tested to ensure the products meet the industry standards required under the solicitation and contract will be required to submit a separate certificate. The information will be used to ensure that the items being purchased meet minimum safety standards and to protect VA beneficiaries and VA employees. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments this collection of information was published at 90 FR 44904, September 17, 2025.

Voluntary Agencies Matching Grant Program Data Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

The Voluntary Agencies Matching Grant (MG) Program Data Reporting was approved by OMB in February, 2024. Under this data collection, resettlement agencies submit MG Program data to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Upon OMB approval of the collection, the Refugee Arrivals Data System (RADS) team within ORR began building the new reporting module in ORR’s database. The existing Alternative Identifier (Alt ID) process involves grantees creating Alt IDs when Alien Numbers could not be found. This manual process has caused duplications and problems specifically when individuals move from state to state. To address these issues, the process for requesting Alt IDs through the RADS has been updated. The changes in the MG instructions document reflect the updated process for requesting Alt IDs through the RADS, as reflected in DCL 22-24, which is in the final stages of approval and publication.

Special Census Program

Key Information

Abstract

A Special Census is a basic enumeration of population, housing units, group quarters, and units at transitory locations, conducted by the Census Bureau at the request of a Governmental Unit. Title 13, United States Code, section 196 authorizes the Census Bureau to conduct Special Censuses on a cost reimbursable basis for the government of any state, county, city, or other political subdivision. This includes the District of Columbia, American Indian Reservations, Alaska Native villages, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Island Areas, and other Governmental Units that require current population data between decennial censuses. A full Special Census is a basic enumeration of population, housing units, group quarters, and units at transitory locations for an area entirely within the jurisdiction of a local Governmental Unit requesting the Special Census. A partial Special Census is conducted using the same methodologies and procedures as a regular or full Special Census, but it is for a subset of areas within the jurisdiction of the local Governmental Unit. The areas requested in a partial Special Census must contain at least one full tract that is completely within the jurisdiction of the Governmental Unit and can contain additional contiguous tracts or blocks. For example, Governmental Units may choose to conduct a partial Special Census with just those tracts that might have experienced a large population growth or a boundary change.

[OS] Emergency Epidemic Investigation Data Collections

Key Information

Abstract

The EEI Generic ICR is specifically designed to support CDC mission-critical functions by allowing CDC to deploy to the field to conduct Emergency Epidemic Investigations (EEIs) at the request of, and under the public health authority of, external partners seeking support for a rapid response to urgent public health problems. Recent investigation that have benefited from this EEI Generic ICR included the early response to the COVID 19 Pandemic, Monkeypox outbreak, and E-cigarette or Vaping Use-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI), among other high profile acute public health events. In these situations, insufficient information is available to allow for development of data collection instruments before the response team travels to the field. Data collection instruments and methods must be rapidly created and implemented, usually while investigators are in the field, to direct appropriate public health action. Often specific questions will change or new questions will evolve during the course of the investigation as new information is revealed. While most EEIs involve 2 to 3 weeks of data collection, data collections might take longer. Data collection for investigations conducted under this generic will not exceed 90 days. If data collection is required for a longer period of time, a new request will be submitted to OMB explaining the circumstances for the extended data collection and providing the forms that will be used for that collection (by this point, the content and scope of the inquiry should be clearer). This Extension ICR is submitted for renewal of the overarching Generic ICR pacakge for an additional three years. There is no anticipated change to the burden hours.

Cooperator Funded Chemical Use Surveys

Key Information

Abstract

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is submitting a substantive change request to revise the currently approved information collection for the Cooperator Funded Chemical Use Surveys (OMB No. 0535-0273). This change pertains to the upcoming 2026 Minnesota Pesticide and Fertilizer Survey. While the purpose, goals, and overall content theme of the survey remain consistent with the original OMB-approved version, several questionnaire items have been reworded, clarified, or replaced to improve data quality and respondent comprehension. These updates are intended to enhance the accuracy and usability of the reported data without altering the scope or intent of the survey. The sample size and estimated respondent burden remain unchanged from the previous approval. The revised questionnaire will be used for phone enumeration beginning in February 2026, as requested by the client.

FERC-549C, Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines (NOPR in Docket No. RM96-1-044)

Key Information

Abstract

The proposals in the NOPR would, if implemented, revise the information collection activities in FERC-549C. This NOPR seeks to incorporate by reference a modified WGQ Version 4.0. This modification added a new standard, WGQ Standard No. 0.3.30, to the Additional Standards manual, which supports a natural gas transportation service provider in posting scheduled quantity information for power plants directly connected to the pipeline, as part of the newly established Gas Electric Coordination category. This modification establishes a new information posting category, Gas Electric Coordination, for use by a transportation service provider as part of its Informational Postings Web site. The revised WGQ Standard No. 4.3.23 creates a central location on an Informational Postings Web site where a transportation service provider can post publicly available data, including scheduled quantity information, to help RTOs/ISOs and other parties access these data. Further, a new standard was added WGQ Standard No. 5.3.74 under the Capacity Release Related Standards manual, to support the inclusion of geographic information when a natural gas transportation service provider issues a critical notice, such as geographic information of impacted areas, locations, and pipeline facilities.
