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.

Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection
Procedures for Requests from Tribal Lead Agencies to use Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Funds for Construction or Major Renovation of Child Care Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting to reinstate this information collection with proposed revisions to the previously approved information collection. The proposed changes to the form are minor and include updates to improve clarity for respondents and to ensure all information is up to date. Applications for construction and major renovation have not been collected or approved since October 31, 2022. Tribal Lead Agencies must submit an application to use CCDF funds for construction or major renovation prior to July 1 of the year funds are awarded. Therefore, ACF needs approval prior to July 1, 2023. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L.104-193) added a provision at 42 U.S.C. 9858m(c) (6) of the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act that allows Tribal Lead Agencies to use Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) grant awards for construction and major renovation of child care facilities. Final regulations governing this provision were issued July 24, 1998 at 45 CFR 98.84. Under the law, a Tribal Lead Agency must first request and receive approval from the Secretary of Health and Human Services before using CCDF funds for construction or major renovation. The law also requires the Secretary to develop and implement uniform procedures for the solicitation and consideration of requests. This information collection contains the statutorily-mandated uniform procedures. Respondents will be Tribal Child Care Lead Agencies applying to use CCDF funds for construction and major renovation. Under the procedures, responsibility for review and approval of applications is delegated to the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). This collection updates the information collection that was originally approved in August 1997 and was last revised in May 2020. The changes to the new, updated information collection are described in the Supporting Statement.

Continuing Disability Review Report

Key Information

Abstract

Sections 221(i), 1614(a)(3)(H)(ii)(I) and 1633(c)(1) of the Social Security Act (Act) require SSA to periodically review the cases of individuals who receive benefits under Title II or Title XVI based on disability to determine if their disability continues. SSA considers adults eligible for disability payments if they continue to be unable to do substantial gainful activity because of their impairments, and we consider Title XVI children eligible for disability payment if they have marked and severe functional limitations because of their impairments. To assess claimants’ ongoing disability payment eligibility, SSA uses the information gathered through the Continuing Disability Review Report to complete a mandatory review for the continue disability review (CDR). SSA also uses the Continuing Disability Review Report to obtain information on sources of medical treatment; participation in vocational rehabilitation programs (if any); attempts to work (if any); and recipients’ assessments when they believe their conditions improved. Title II or Title XVI disability recipients can complete the Continuing Disability Review Report using one of three modalities: (1) a paper application or fillable PDF (using Form SSA 454 BK); (2) a field office interview, during which SSA employees enter claimant’s data directly into the Electronic Disability Collection System (EDCS); or (3) using an online system (i454). This new web-based modality will provide recipients a new platform for submitting information to increase accessibility and enhance automation. When SSA initiates a medical CDR, we send a mailed notice to the individual with a disability informing that individual that SSA requires a CDR. The mailed notice provides instructions to the recipient on how to assist the agency with initiating the CDR and gives the individual the option to complete a paper SSA-454 or an i454 for adult only disabled individuals. When an individual requires a CDR, a claims specialist (CS) mails the paper Form SSA-454-BK, and the respondent completes the form, and sends or brings it back to SSA; or the CS interviews the respondent and enters the information into the appropriate EDCS screens; or adult disabled individuals complete the SSA 454 BK electronically using the i454 Internet application. Regardless of the modality the respondent uses to complete the information (paper, EDCS, or Internet versions), SSA electronically stores the information provided in EDCS. The respondents complete the SSA-454-BK by themselves with self-help information available, or a representative may complete the paper form or electronic application on their behalf. The respondents are Title II or Title XVI disability recipients or their representatives. As per the Terms of Clearance on this ICR, we are submitting this Change Request prior to May 31, 2023, to show the agreed-upon revisions we are making to the paper form and screens, as per our previous conversations with OMB, and based on public comments.

Abstract

This final rule implements provisions of the Social Security Act (the Act) establishing and regulating the Medicare Advantage (MA) program. The MA program was enacted in Title II of The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) on December 8, 2003. The MA program replaces the Medicare+Choice (M+C) program established under Part C of the title XVIII of the Act, while retaining most key features of the M+C program. The MA program attempts to broadly reform and expand the availability of private health plan options to Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations and Prescription Drug Plan Sponsors use the information to comply with the eligibility requirements and the MA and Part D contract requirements. CMS will use this information to ensure that correct information is disclosed to Medicare beneficiaries, both potential enrollees and enrollees.

State Review Framework (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The State Review Framework (Framework) is an oversight tool designed to assess state performance in enforcement and compliance assurance. The Frameworks goal is to evaluate state performance by examining data to provide a consistent level of oversight and develop a uniform mechanism by which EPA Regions, working collaboratively with their states, ensure state environmental agencies consistently implement the national compliance and enforcement program to meet agreed-upon goals and standards. Furthermore, the Framework is designed to foster dialogue on enforcement and compliance performance between the states to enhance relationships and increase feedback, which leads to consistent program management and improved environmental results. Specifically, the Framework is a structured process to provide critical information on a states (or Regions, for states with EPA-implemented programs) core enforcement and compliance assurance performance by employing data in EPAs national databases and presented in management reports for each state. No new data collection is required for the national databases. Data from national databases is complimented by data obtained through file reviews of a state environmental agencys compliance and enforcement files. No new data is required in these files; however, they are reviewed to ensure proper and adequate documentation. The Framework process asks regions, states, and local governments to examine the existing data described above in four core programs: Clean Air Act (CAA), Stationary Sources; Clean Water Act (CWA), National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES); and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Subtitle C and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The EPA evaluates five (5) elements using data and file review metrics that require no new reporting burden. A new collection covered by this ICR relates to state criminal enforcement activity related to CAA, CWA and RCRA; however, the additional burden is minimal, given that the data is expected to be preexisting. The utility of the Frameworks metrics and the Implementation Guide are a direct result of the collaboration between states, EPA Regions, and EPA Headquarters. The five (5) elements are 1) Data (completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of MDR entry into national data systems); 2) Inspections (coverage, report completeness and timeliness); 3) Violations (accuracy of compliance and SNC/HPV determinations); 4) Enforcement (timeliness, appropriateness, return to compliance and criminal); and 5) Penalties (documentation of gravity, economic benefit, reduction in amount, and collection). In the interest of accuracy and efficiency, the Framework also includes a five-step protocol for managing the process: (1) pre-review; (2) offsite review; (3) onsite review; (4) drafting of the report; and (5) composing the final report and follow-up. After reviewing the level of performance based on the metrics developed under the five required performance elements, and other information collected in the review process, EPA will determine if a state or Region meets minimum performance levels. This ICR also covers the Drinking Water Enforcement Review Pilot (DW ER Pilot), which wasnt covered in the previous ICR. Due to its similar structure and goals to the SRF, this ICR is an appropriate forum to meet OMB requirements. Goals of the DW ER Pilot include: (1) Provide a nationally consistent approach for periodic, retrospective oversight of drinking water enforcement primacy programs; (2) Establish clear expectations and a level playing field for Primacy Agencies; (3) Encourage EPA-Primacy agency collaboration to identify and address program challenges; and (4) Evaluate whether the primacy agency take timely and appropriate actions to address violations, properly escalate enforcement, and ensures return to compliance.

Chromium Finishing Industry Data Collection (New)

Key Information

Abstract

As mentioned in Effluent Guidelines Program Plan 15, published in January 2023, EPA plans to conduct a rulemaking to address Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) discharges from a subset of facilities in the Metal Finishing and Electroplating point source categories. Specifically, facilities performing certain chromium operations that employ hexavalent chromium (hereafter referred to as chrome finishing facilities), including chromium plating, chromium anodizing, chromic acid etching, and chromate conversion coating that use or have used PFAS to control hexavalent chromium emissions. These facilities are expected to be the predominant sources of PFAS discharges in the Metal Finishing and Electroplating point source categories. Publicly available data on such facilities, including whether they perform chrome finishing operations and use and discharge of PFAS at the national scale, are limited. EPA reviewed the 2017 National Emissions Inventory (NEI), Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI), Environmental Compliance History Online (ECHO), and Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS), as well as data collected by several state environmental agencies. However, none of these data sources provide a complete population of chromium finishing facilities in the United States nor do they provide the detailed information on specific facility operations (including use of hexavalent chromium or PFAS), generation and management of wastewater, or wastewater characteristics necessary for the complex technical and economic analyses required for the review and development of ELGs. Therefore, this questionnaire and wastewater sampling program are necessary for EPA to determine if the current regulations remain appropriate and to develop new regulations if they are deemed to be warranted. EPA has identified and compiled mailing addresses for approximately 1,815 potential chromium finishing facilities in the United States. All active metal finishing and electroplating facilities that conduct or have conducted one or more of the specified chromium finishing operations will be required to complete the questionnaire.

BEACH Act Grant Program (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health (BEACH) Act authorizes the EPA to award BEACH Act Program grants to coastal and Great Lakes states, tribes, and territories for their beach monitoring and notification programs. The grants assist those jurisdictions to develop and implement a consistent approach to monitor recreational water quality; assess, manage, and communicate health risks from waterborne microbial contamination; notify the public of pollution occurrences; and post beach advisories and closures to prevent public exposure to microbial pathogens. To qualify for a BEACH Act grant, a jurisdiction must submit information to the EPA documenting that its beach monitoring and notification program is consistent with performance criteria outlined in the National Beach Guidance and Required Performance Criteria for Grants, 2014 Edition.

New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program Allocation and Qualified Equity Tracking (AQEI) System

Key Information

Abstract

The New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTC Program) was established by Congress in 2000 to spur new or increased investments into operating businesses and real estate projects located in low-income communities. The NMTC Program attracts investment capital to low-income communities by permitting individual and corporate investors to receive a tax credit against their Federal income tax return in exchange for making equity investments in specialized financial institutions called Community Development Entities (CDEs). Via a competitive process, the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) awards NMTC allocation awards to select CDEs, based upon information submitted in their NMTC Allocation Application. Entities receiving a NMTC allocation must enter into an allocation agreement with the CDFI Fund. The allocation agreement contains the terms and conditions, including all reporting requirements, associated with the receipt of a NMTC allocation. The CDFI Fund required each Allocatee to use an electronic data collection and submission system, known as the Allocation Tracking System (ATS), to report on the information related to its receipt of a Qualified Equity Investment (QEI). As of May 2018, the ATS function was renamed as the NMTC Allocation and Qualified Equity Investment Tracking System (AQEI) and moved to the CDFI Fund’s Awards Management Information System (AMIS), a business system that supports all CDFI Fund programs through each phase of the programs’ life cycle.

Testing Experience and Functional Tools: Functional Assessment Standardized Items (FASI) Based on the CARE Tool (CMS-10243)

Key Information

Abstract

In 2012, the Disabled & Elderly Health Programs Group (DEHPG), within the Center for Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program Services (CMCS) of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), funded a project entitled, Technical Assistance to States for Testing Experience and Functional Tools (TEFT) Grants. One component of this demonstration is to amend and test the reliability of a setting-agnostic, interoperable set of data elements, called “items,” that can support standardized assessment of individuals across the continuum of care. Items that were created for use in post-acute care settings using the Continuity Assessment Record and Evaluation (CARE) tool have been adopted, modified, or supplemented for use in community-based long-term services and supports (CB-LTSS) programs. This project will test the reliability and validity of the function-related assessment items, now referred to as Functional Assessment Standardized Items (FASI), when applied in community settings, and in various populations: elders (65 years and older); younger adults (18-64) with physical disabilities; and adults of any age with intellectual or developmental disabilities, with severe mental illness, or with traumatic brain injury. Data will be collected through interviews with individuals, conducted in their homes or another setting of their choosing. Assessment interviews will be conducted by trained assessors who already work with these clients to conduct assessments for the Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) coverage. Data will be collected using a modification of their current form in an electronic PDF format and uploaded to Truven Health Analytics through a secure electronic transfer file (ETF) application.
