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.

Disclosure and Retention of Certain Information Relating to Cleared Swaps Customer Collateral

Key Information

Abstract

7 USC 6d(f) imposes requirements on futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) and derivatives clearing organizations (“DCOs”) regarding the safeguarding and use of collateral provided my customers to serve as margin for cleared swaps transactions. 17 CFR Part 22 contains implementing regulations. Sections 22.2(g), 22.5(a), 22.11, 22.12, and 22.16 impose recordkeeping and third-party disclosure requirements necessary for the effective operation of the statutory and regulatory scheme. Section 22.16 requires that each FCM who has cleared swaps customers disclose to each customer once each year the governing provisions, as established by DCO rules or agreements between collecting and depositing FCMs, relating to use of customer collateral, transfer, neutralization of the risks, or liquidation of cleared swaps in the event of a default by the FCM. The purpose of this reporting requirement is to ensure that cleared swaps customers are informed of the procedures to which accounts containing their swaps collateral may be subject in the event of a default by their FCM.

FERC-583, Annual Kilowatt Generating Report (Annual Charges)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 10(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) authorizes the Commission to collect annual charges from hydropower licensees for, among other things, the cost of administering Part I of the FPA. In addition, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 authorizes the Commission to "assess and collect fees and annual charges in any fiscal year in amounts equal to all of the costs incurred by the Commission in that fiscal year. Part 11 of the Commission's regulations provides the manner in which licensees are charged for such costs. Annual charges are based on the actual costs of the government. This ICR pertains to the annual kilowatt generating report that licensees and holders of license exemptions must submit to the Commission, and to two additional IC activities: (1) Application of State and municipal licensees and holders of license exemptions for total or partial exemption from annual charges; and (2) Appeals and rehearing of billing for annual charges.

Charter Online Management and Performance System (COMPS) Developer Annual Performance Report

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a new OMB approval to collect the Annual Performance Report (APR) data from Charter School Programs (CSP) Developer grantees. The Charter School Programs (CSP) was originally authorized under Title V, Part B, Subpart 1, Sections 5201 through 5211 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as amended by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001. For fiscal year 2017 and thereafter, ESEA has been amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), (20USC 7221-7221i), which reserves funds to improve education by supporting innovation in public education and to: (2) provide financial assistance for the planning, program design, and initial implementation of charter schools; (3) increase the number of high-quality charter schools available to students across the United States; (4) evaluate the impact of charter schools on student achievement, families, and communities, and share best practices between charter schools and other public schools; (5) encourage States to provide support to charter schools for facilities financing in an amount more nearly commensurate to the amount States typically provide for traditional public schools; (6) expand opportunities for children with disabilities, English learners, and other traditionally underserved students to attend charter schools and meet the challenging State academic standards; (7) support efforts to strengthen the charter school authorizing process to improve performance management, including transparency, oversight and monitoring (including financial audits), and evaluation of such schools; and (8) support quality, accountability, and transparency in the operational performance of all authorized public chartering agencies, including State educational agencies, local educational agencies, and other authorizing entities. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is requesting authorization to collect data from CSP grantees within the Developer program through a new online platform. In 2022, ED began development of a new data collection system, the Charter Online Management and Performance System (COMPS), designed specifically to reduce the burden of reporting for users and increase validity of the overall data. This new collection consists of questions responsive to the actions established in the program’s final rule published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2022, as well as the Developer program Notice Inviting Applications (NIA). This collection request is a consolidation of all previously established program data collection efforts and provides a more comprehensive representation of grantee performance.

Information Comparision with Insurance Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Information Comparison with Insurance Data Match (“Insurance Match”) program is a cooperative effort between the federal Office of Child Support Services (OCSS), states, insurers, and third-party administrators or agents. The information collected for the Insurance Match is necessary to help state child support agencies (“CSAs”) collect past-due support from noncustodial parents. To facilitate the Insurance Match, OCSS uses a centralized, efficient, secure, and cost-effective automated process that compares information about individuals who may receive a payment from an insurance claim, settlement, or award (“claim”) with information in the OCSS Debtor File (OMB #0970-0161, Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport Denial) to identify obligors who owe past-due support. State workers’ compensation agencies and the U.S. Department of Labor also provide OCSS with claim information for collecting past-due child support from noncustodial parents. State agency and insurer participation in the Insurance Match program is voluntary; however, 13 states have specific mandates for insurers to report claims. The Insurance Match program assists with meeting these state mandates. The information collection activities associated with the Insurance Match program are authorized by 42 U.S.C. § 652(a)(9) and (m), which authorizes the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS), to conduct comparisons of information concerning individuals with a child support debt with information that insurers (or their agents) maintain concerning insurance claims. This approval request is for a revision of a currently approved information collection. An explanation of changes is provided under item #15 of Supporting Statement A.

Customer Clearing Documentation and Timing of Acceptance for Clearing

Key Information

Abstract

Under the regulations, SDs, MSPs, FCMs, and DCOs are required to develop and maintain written customer clearing documentation and trade processing procedures. Maintenance of contracts, policies, and procedures is prudent business practice. All SDs, MSPs, FCMs, and DCOs maintain documentation consistent with these regulations. The regulations are crucial both for effective risk management and for the efficient operation of trading venues among SDs, MSPs, FCMs, and DCOs. Each of these entities has a general recordkeeping obligation for these requirements under the Commission’s regulations (regulation 39.20 for DCOs; regulation 23.606 for SDs and MSPs; and regulation 1.73 for FCMs). The regulations are an important part of the Commission’s regulatory program for SDs, MSPs, FCMs, and DCOs. The information required to be preserved is used by representatives of the Commission to ensure compliance with the CEA and applicable Commission regulations relating to clearing activities.

Abstract

In 2015, the Wireline Competition Bureau, pursuant to its delegated authority, created a standardized reporting template, as well as instructions to guide providers through the reporting process. The Commission required an officer of each provider certify annually as to the accuracy of the data and other information submitted in the providers' Annual Reports. The Commission also required providers to disclose their rates and ancillary charges to consumers. Providers must also comply with certain requirements to the extent they seek a waiver. The annual reports were revised in 2020 to improve the type and quality of information collected, and again in 2022 to reflect rule changes in the 2021 ICS Order. The collection is currently being revised to reflect changes to the disability access rules, as set forth in a 2022 ICS Order.

Electronic Records Express Third-Party

Key Information

Abstract

Electronic Records Express (ERE) is an online system which enables medical providers and various third party representatives to download and submit disability claimant information electronically to SSA as part of the disability application process. To ensure only authorized people access ERE, SSA requires third parties to complete a unique registration process if they wish to use this system. This information collection request (ICR) includes the third-party registration process; the burden for submitting evidence to SSA is part of other, various ICRs. The respondents are third party representatives of disability applicants or recipients who want to use ERE to electronically access clients’ disability files online and submit information to SSA. The SSA is making non-substantive changes to enhance the ERE Third-Party’s application to allow appointed representatives to access a list of all their cases pending at the initial and reconsideration levels will reduce the number of calls to FOs asking if a written notice of appointment or Form SSA-1696 has been processed, reduce the number of calls to the SSA Helpdesk for unlocking accounts, and greatly improve the customer service SSA provides to the representative community.

Charter Online Management and Performance System (COMPS) SE Grant Profile

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a new OMB approval to collect the Grant Profile data from Charter School Programs (CSP) State Entity (SE) grantees. The Charter School Programs (CSP) was originally authorized under Title V, Part B, Subpart 1, Sections 5201 through 5211 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as amended by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001. For fiscal year 2017 and thereafter, ESEA has been amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), (20USC 7221-7221i), which reserves funds to improve education by supporting innovation in public education and to: (2) provide financial assistance for the planning, program design, and initial implementation of charter schools; (3) increase the number of high-quality charter schools available to students across the United States; (4) evaluate the impact of charter schools on student achievement, families, and communities, and share best practices between charter schools and other public schools; (5) encourage States to provide support to charter schools for facilities financing in an amount more nearly commensurate to the amount States typically provide for traditional public schools; (6) expand opportunities for children with disabilities, English learners, and other traditionally underserved students to attend charter schools and meet the challenging State academic standards; (7) support efforts to strengthen the charter school authorizing process to improve performance management, including transparency, oversight and monitoring (including financial audits), and evaluation of such schools; and (8) support quality, accountability, and transparency in the operational performance of all authorized public chartering agencies, including State educational agencies, local educational agencies, and other authorizing entities. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is requesting authorization to collect data from CSP grantees within the SE program through a new online platform. In 2022, ED began development of a new data collection system, the Charter Online Management and Performance System (COMPS), designed specifically to reduce the burden of reporting for users and increase validity of the overall data. This new collection consists of questions responsive to the actions established in the program’s final rule published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2022, as well as the SE program Notice Inviting Applications (NIA). This collection request is a consolidation of all previously established program data collection efforts and provides a more comprehensive representation of grantee performance.

Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR)

Key Information

Abstract

A growing body of research demonstrates how the increasing severity and frequency of disasters exacerbates existing challenges of housing affordability and stability, especially for renters in disaster-affected states, counties, and cities. While the federal government plays an increasingly central role in recovery, pathways for long-term recovery of renters and affordable rental housing are understudied, leaving policymakers with limited tools for long-term planning. The Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) grants are one of the most prominent sources of federal funding for post disaster recovery, supplementing assistance programs administered by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Small Business Administration (SBA) and other agencies. To date $96 billion dollars have been allocated through CDBG-DR starting from Hurricanes Andrew and Omar in 1992 through Hurricane Ida and other events in 2021. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) CDBG-DR funding is appropriated by Congress following major Presidentially declared disasters when Congress deemed other aid and resources were not enough to meet the needs of the impacted community. State or local CDBG-DR grantees develop action plans and aligned budgets to address unmet need in their communities. According to HUD, “housing assistance is typically the most immediate priority of state and local governments and is often the largest budgeted activity. The intent of housing recovery programs is to ensure those whose homes were impacted by the disaster can return to safe and adequate housing or relocate to suitable housing elsewhere.” To address the gap in understanding recovery outcomes for rental housing and assessing CDBG-DR effectiveness for this population, in summer 2022, HUD issued a NOFO (FR-6600-N-29A) to announce availability of funding for two research projects. The joint goal of the research is to “improve disaster recovery effectiveness for renter households by examining the disaster recovery outcomes of renter households and rental housing stock in places that received Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery grants (CDBG-DR).” Funding for these studies came from the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260, approved December 27, 2020) which provided funding to HUD for research on disaster recovery to support the Department to evaluate the efficacy of its disaster recovery programs. This is aligned with HUD’s FY 2022-2026 Strategic Plan for ensuring everyone has an affordable, healthy place to live. The scope of the research will focus on the disaster recovery outcomes of renter households and rental housing stock in places awarded CDBG-DR grants, the contributing factors and mechanisms driving recovery outcomes for renter households, and opportunities to improve upon them. The findings of the research will provide recommendations to support Congress, HUD, and State and Local governments in mitigating the loss of affordable rental housing following disasters and facilitating faster and better recovery of renter households. Urban Institute was awarded a cooperative agreement to pursue one of the research studies made available through the NOFO. Research questions identified by HUD in the RFQ—and the corresponding data collection strategy proposed by The Urban Institute—are provided in Table A1. This supporting statement requests approval for qualitative research (interviews and focus groups) in three disaster affected communities to provide context and help identify potential additional variables of interest for local quantitative analysis of changes in rental housing changes in renter populations and understand the recovery initiatives and role of CDBG-DR requirements in influencing outcomes. The other data collection strategies are not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act and are therefore not included as part of this request.
