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
Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for revision and extension of a current information collection. A minor programmatic change is being requested to add a pre-application requirement to eliminate the overall burden on applicants. Each applicant must submit a pre-application for review through email to NOAA to prevent the expenditure of effort on full applications that are not likely to be successful. All applicants will receive a response to their pre-application via email from NOAA indicating whether or not they are authorized to submit a full application. Only those who receive authorization from NOAA are eligible to submit a full application, which will reduce significantly the overall number of full applications. The Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program provides support for master’s and doctoral degrees in oceanography, marine biology, or maritime archaeology—this can include but is not limited to ocean and/or coastal: engineering, social science, marine education, marine stewardship, resource management disciplines—and particularly encourages women and members of minority groups to apply. The scholarship supports independent graduate level research through financial support of graduate degrees in such fields. NOAA recognizes the student's need to ensure that scholarly research, which is often hypothesis based, addresses critical gaps in knowledge about ecological processes, physiological mechanisms, evolutionary underpinnings, human behaviors, preferences and values, and related areas. The nature of the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries’ research, as well as interactions with sanctuary staff and partners with similar goals, can help students fulfill their degree requirements through work benefiting not only national marine sanctuaries, but marine conservation more broadly and ecosystem science as a whole. In addition to natural resource studies, scholars may investigate socioeconomic, maritime archaeological and maritime heritage resource studies in national marine sanctuaries.

The Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Program: Part C Explanation of Benefits and Supporting Regulations (CMS-10453) - IRA

Key Information

Abstract

Section 11201 of the IRA makes significant changes to the Part D benefit design which require CMS to make corresponding revisions to the Part D EOB model. Beginning in 2024, the IRA revises section 1860D-2(b)(4)(A)(i)(II) of the Act to eliminate enrollee cost sharing after the enrollee has incurred costs equal to the annual out-of-pocket threshold specified in section 1860D-2(b)(4)(B)(i) of the Act. Beginning in 2025, the IRA eliminates the coverage gap benefit phase, sunsets the Coverage Gap Discount Program, and introduces new manufacturer discounts in the initial and catastrophic coverage phases. Medicare Advantage organizations (MAOs) and Medicare Prescription Drug Program (Part D) plan sponsors are required to provide their enrollees with a written explanation of benefits (EOB) when benefits are provided under the plan. Section 1860D-4(a)(4) of the Social Security Act, requires that Part D sponsors distribute to enrollees a notice of benefits used in relation to the Part D initial coverage limit and annual out-of-pocket threshold. CMS codified Part D EOB requirements at 42 CFR § 423.128(e). Section 1852(k)(2)(C)(i) of the Act requires MAOs that offer a private fee-for-service (PFFS) plan to provide enrollees with a written EOB, including a clear statement about the enrollee’s liability, when payment is sought under the plan. CMS regulations specifying that all MAOs provide an EOB when Part C benefits are used are codified at 42 CFR § 422.111(k). Information in this collection is needed to ensure that MA and Part D enrollees receive consistent and timely information about costs associated with their medical claims. Part C and Part D EOBs allow enrollees to track their out-of-pocket expenses and benefit utilization in relation to their plan’s deductible and out-of-pocket threshold.

Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection
Transportation Performance Management Performance Biennial Reports

Key Information

Abstract

The MAP-21 (Pub. L. 112-141) and FAST Act (Pub. L. 114-94) transformed the Federal-aid highway program by establishing new requirements for transportation performance management (TPM) to ensure the most efficient investment of Federal transportation funds. Prior to MAP-21, there were no explicit requirements for State DOTs to demonstrate how their transportation program supported national performance outcomes. State DOTs were not required to measure condition or performance, establish targets, assess progress toward targets, or report on condition or performance in a nationally consistent manner that FHWA could use to assess the entire system. Without States reporting on the above factors, it was difficult for FHWA to examine the effectiveness of the Federal-aid highway program as a means to address surface transportation performance at a national level. The TPM regulations changed this paradigm and require states to measure condition or performance, establish targets, assess progress towards targets, and report on condition or performance biennially (23 USC 150 (e) and 23 CFR 490.107). The required biennial reports contain information such as: transportation condition and performance targets, a discussion of the basis for those targets, progress toward targets, a historic baseline, discussion of coordination efforts, reports on freight bottlenecks, other information applicable or relevant to specific State or region. These biennial reports allow the assessment of progress in a consistent manner nationally and allow FHWA to assess if State DOT’s have achieved significant progress toward meeting their targets, as required by 23 CFR 490.109. The requested revision to the data collection is to account for the addition of the GHG measure to 23 CFR 490 subpart A and subpart E.

Contact Lens Rule

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “Commission”) requests approval for a three-year extension of an existing clearance relating to the disclosure and recordkeeping requirements under the Contact Lens Rule (“Rule”), 16 C.F.R. Part 315. There is no change in the instrument collection. The Rule which was effective in 2004, implemented the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumer Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. 7601-7610). The Act seeks to enable consumers to purchase contact lenses from the seller of their choice. Among other things, the Act requires contact lens prescribers to provide contact lens prescriptions to their patients, and to provide or verify contact lens prescriptions to third parties designated by patients. On June 23, 2020, the Federal Trade Commission announced a Final Rule amendment to enhance and further ensure compliance with the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act's requirement that prescribers automatically provide their patients with a copy of their prescription upon completion of a contact lens fitting. The Final Rule requires prescribers to request that their patients confirm that they have received their prescription, and allows flexibility in the way the prescription and confirmation are provided. Prescribers must maintain proof that they satisfied the confirmation of prescription release requirement for at least three years. Eye doctors were already required by law to provide every patient with a copy of his or her contact lens prescription, allowing patients to comparison shop for lenses. This rule change will help to ensure that eye doctors fulfill their obligations, and will facilitate FTC enforcement of these important requirements. To address concerns about third-party sellers verifying prescriptions by leaving incomplete or incomprehensible automated telephone messages with prescribers, sellers who use automated telephone messages for verification must record the calls and preserve the recordings for three years. This will likely require a minimal amount of capital and other non-labor costs to record the calls and store them electronically.

Demurrage Liability Disclosure Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This collection requires a railroad to give notice to customers that it has a demurrage tariff. Under its tariff, a railroad assesses demurrage on the consignor (the shipper of the goods) for delays in loading cars at origin and on the consignee (the receiver of the goods) for delays in unloading cars and returning them to the rail carrier at destination. Demurrage can also, however, involve warehousemen that accept freight cars for loading and unloading but have no property interest in the freight being transported. Warehousemen are not typically owners of property being shipped (even though, by accepting the cars, they could be in a position to facilitate or impede car supply), but rail carriers may sometimes bill them for demurrage as well. Thus, with multiple participants, it is important to provide clarity and notice for all parties involved and that is what the notice requirement in this information collection does.

Community Reinvestment Act Regulation

Key Information

Abstract

The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) is designed to encourage regulated banks to help meet the credit needs of the local communities in which they are chartered, consistent with safety and soundness. Specifically, Congress found that “(1) regulated financial institutions are required by law to demonstrate that their deposit facilities serve the convenience and needs of the communities in which they are chartered to do business; (2) the convenience and needs of communities include the need for credit as well as deposit services; and (3) regulated financial institutions have continuing and affirmative obligation to help meet the credit needs of the local communities in which they are chartered.” The CRA statute requires the agencies to “assess the institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of such institution.” Upon completing this assessment, the statute requires the agencies to “prepare a written evaluation of the institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.” In addition, the statute requires making portions of these written evaluations, referred to by the agencies as performance evaluations, available to the public. The statute further provides that each agency must consider a bank’s CRA performance “in its evaluation of an application for a deposit facility by such institution.” This ICR is being submitted in connection with an interagency final rule issued by the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to strengthen and modernize their regulations implementing the CRA.

Notice of Claim and Proof of Loss, Working Capital Guarantee

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 Bank), 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 Bank 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 Bank, the insured or guaranteed exporter or lender may seek payment from EXIM Bank 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. Ex-Im Bank offers guarantees of principal and interest on floating or fixed-rate loans by eligible lenders to creditworthy U.S. exporters to enable them to meet their working capital needs and fulfill their export sales contracts. The guarantees cover the repayment risks of the U.S. exporters export working capital line. Ex-Im Bank guarantees that, in the event of a payment default by the borrower, it will repay to the lender the outstanding principal and interest on the loan.

Revision of a currently approved collection
NMFS Observer Programs' Information That Can Be Gathered Only Through Questions

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension and revision to an existing information collection (OMB Control No. 0648-0593): Observer Programs’ Information That Can Be Gathered Only through Questions. This collection will be revised as follows. First is the expansion of observers to include an additional fishery. The Southeast region will begin sending observers out on Southeast reef fish fishery trips and thus needs to add this fishery to this collection. Second, NOAA is combining the Southeast observer efforts into one program. The third change is the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program (WCGOP) would like to start collecting the names of crew members within their observer logbooks. The data will be recorded on paper, scanned in, and stored according to vessel name. This information will only be accessed if there is an enforcement issue. The final change is also within the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program. They have introduced a new phone app that captains are using to declare upcoming fishing trips and NMFS is using to let them know if they have been selected for observer coverage. Other observer programs are also working on converting to smart phone applications, but they have not yet been implemented. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) deploys fishery observers on United States (U.S.) fishing vessels and to fish processing plants in order to collect biological and economic data and to monitor industry regulatory compliance. Under an OMB approved information collection observers collect information from fishing vessel captains/crew or fish processing plant managers/staff prior to deployment. This information is used to assess whether the vessel or plan satisfies applicable safety requirements.

Fast Track Generic Clearance for the Collection of Routine Customer Feedback - HHS Communication

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information is necessary to enable HHS to garner customer and stakeholder feedback. Information will be collected from our customers and stakeholders from the concept phase to the end of the product life cycle. This will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with HHS communications products. The primary objectives are to determine whether HHS communications products: 1) meet the needs of the audience; 2) use effective mediums for delivering messages to audiences; 3) motivate the expected impact or change; 4) require mid-course corrections; and 5) require change in development and dissemination strategies for future communications. HHS Offices plan to use the data collected under this generic clearance to determine if they are reaching their target audience and meeting audience need. Data collected through the surveys will also be used to inform the development of HHS communication products and identify areas for improvement in content or delivery, and impact measures. If needed, revisions would be intended to increase the success rate of communication products, increasing the return on investment. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.
