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.

Form 8857 - Request for Innocent Spouse Relief, Form 8857(SP)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 6103(e) of the Internal revenue code allows taxpayers to request, and IRS to grant, "innocent spouse" relief when: taxpayer filed a joint return with tax substantially understated; taxpayer establishes no knowledge of or benefit from, the understatement; and it would be inequitable to hold the taxpayer liable. GAO Report GAO/GGD-97-34 recommended that IRS develop a form to make relief easier for the public to request.

CAHPS Home Health Care Survey (CMS-10275)

Key Information

Abstract

As part of the DHHS Transparency Initiative on Quality Reporting, CMS plans to implement a process to measure and publicly report patients' experiences with home health care they receive from Medicare-certified home health agencies through the data collection effort described in this request: the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Home Health Care Survey. The Home Health Care CAHPS Survey, which was developed and tested by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and is part of the family of CAHPS surveys, is a standardized survey for home health patients to assess their home health care providers and the quality of the home health care they receive. Prior to the Home Health Care CAHPS survey, there was no national standard for collecting data about home health care patients' experience with their home health care. This is a revision to the original PRA package which covered the voluntary implementation of the survey among Medicare-certified agencies and a randomized mode experiment to test the impact of different modes of data collection on survey responses. This is a revised PRA package because it now includes the burden to the home health agencies (HHAs) to contract with an approved HHCAHPS survey vendor to administer the HHCAHPS survey on their behalf.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Evaluations of Coastal Zone Management Act Programs: State Coastal Management Programs and National Estuarine Research Reserves

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for a revision of an approved information collection. As part of this submission, a few questions will be modified to clarify the information that should be provided as part of the information requests and questionnaires sent to the coastal program and reserve managers. One new question about efforts in racial equity and engagement with underserved communities will be included for coastal management program and reserve managers. A few questions will be revised to clarify and improve the usefulness of responses for the partners and stakeholders’ survey. Given the addition of a designated research reserve since the last renewal of this information collection, the anticipated designation of additional reserves in the coming years, and an increase in Office for Coastal Management staff capacity to conduct evaluations, the number of CZMA programs to be evaluated, on average, in the next three years will increase from 11 to 12 programs per year. This increase in the number of programs to be evaluated will also increase the number of partner and stakeholder respondents to this information collection. The Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended (CZMA; 16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq.) requires that state coastal management programs and national estuarine research reserves developed pursuant to the CZMA and approved by the Secretary of Commerce be evaluated periodically. This request is to collect information to accomplish those evaluations. NOAA's Office for Coastal Management conducts periodic evaluations of the 34 coastal management programs and 30 research reserves and produces written findings for each evaluation. The Office for Coastal Management has access to some documentation regarding each program. However, additional information from each coastal management program and research reserve, as well as information from the program and reserve partners and stakeholders with whom each works, is necessary to evaluate against statutory and regulatory requirements. Different information collection subsets are necessary for 1) coastal management programs, 2) their partners and stakeholders, 3) research reserves, and 4) their partners and stakeholders.

Distilled Spirits Plants - Transaction and Supporting Records (TTB REC 5110/05)

Key Information

Abstract

In general, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5001 imposes Federal alcohol excise tax on distilled spirits produced or imported into the United States. To protect that revenue, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5207 requires distilled spirits plant (DSP) proprietors to maintain records and provide reports related to their production, storage, denaturing, and processing activities as the Secretary prescribes by regulation. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 19, 26, 27, and 28 require DSP proprietors to keep certain usual and customary transaction and supporting records that are common to their distilled spirits production, storage, denaturing, and processing activities. Proprietors use the common transaction and supporting records required under this information collection approval, along with records that are unique to each DSP activity, which are required under other information collection approvals, to document the data provided on their monthly DSP production, storage, denaturing, and processing operations reports. TTB personnel may examine the DSP transaction and supporting records required under this collection to verify the data provided by DSP proprietors in those operations reports and to determine the Federal excise tax liabilities of those proprietors. As such, this information collection is necessary to protect the revenue.

Drawback on Wines Exported

Key Information

Abstract

In general, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5041 imposes Federal excise tax on wine produced or imported into the United States, while section 5362(c) allows domestic wine to be exported, transferred to a foreign trade zone, or used on certain vessels and aircraft without payment of that tax. In the case of taxpaid domestic wine that is subsequently exported, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5062(b) provides that exporters of such wine may claim drawback (refund) of the excise tax paid or determined on the exported wine. Under the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR Part 28, Exportation of Alcohol, exporters of taxpaid domestic wine use form TTB F 5120.24 to document the wine’s exportation and to submit drawback claims for the excise taxes paid on the exported wine. TTB uses the provided information to determine if the exported wine is eligible for drawback and to verify the amount of drawback claimed by the exporter. As such, the collected information collection is necessary to protect the revenue.

FERC Form 73, Oil Pipeline Service Life Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission has authority over interstate oil pipelines as stated in the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 USC 60502, et. al. As part of the information necessary for the subsequent investigation and review of an oil pipeline company's proposed deprecation rates, the pipeline companies are required to provide service life data as part of their data submissions if the proposed depreciation rates are based on the remaining physical life calculations. The information collected is used by the Commission to establish oil pipeline depreciation rates based on the physical properties of a pipeline's equipment. Depreciation rates are a factor in a pipeline's transportation cost of service. As such, companies are required to submit FERC Form No. 73 when requesting Commission approval of: (1) the establishment of depreciation rates for new pipeline equipment or (2) revision of previously approved depreciation rates, when the depreciation is based on the physical properties of the pipeline company's assets. The Commission may also request an oil pipeline company to submit a FERC Form No. 73 filing during a depreciation rate investigation.

Green Chill Advanced Refrigeration Partnership (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

GreenChill is a voluntary partnership program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that encourages food retail, chemical producing, and refrigeration systems manufacturing companies to adopt cost effective technologies and practices that reduce refrigerant emissions and improve operational efficiency. Refrigerants used in food retail locations are often ozone-depleting substances and potent greenhouse gases. The GreenChill Program works with these industries to lower barriers that inhibit the implementation of technologies and practices that reduce refrigerant emissions. The Program promotes the adoption of emission reduction practices and technologies. The GreenChill Program collects four types of information from participants: 1. One-time Agreement Form. Participation in the GreenChill Partnership begins with the completion and submittal of a two-page Partnership Agreement that outlines responsibilities of the GreenChill Partner company and EPA. For food retailer partners, a worksheet accompanies this form for prospective Partners to self-identify as a small format food retailer or a large format food retailer for the purpose of GreenChill data analysis and recognition. This voluntary agreement can be terminated by the GreenChill Partner or EPA with no notice or penalties or further obligation. 2. Annual Reporting. Annual reporting is a key part of the Partnership. Upon acceptance, food retail Partners agree to submit an Annual Report documenting the previous years refrigerant stocks and emissions from commercial refrigeration systems. Thereafter, food retail Partners report refrigerant emission reduction activities on an annual basis. Partners may voluntarily submit annual information to further characterize the refrigerant stocks and emissions including refrigerant from heating, ventilation, and air conditioning; and refrigerated space (e.g., square footage). Systems manufacturing Partners also submit annual reports for commercial refrigeration system sales for a coarse grouping of common technologies. 3. Annual Refrigerant Management Plan. In addition to annual stocks and emissions reporting, each year food retail Partners agree to submit a Refrigerant Management Plan. In their management plans, Partners are encouraged to communicate their refrigerant emission management efforts to EPA. 4. Individual Store Certification and Annual Re-certification. The GreenChill Program offers food retailers the opportunity for any individual store to be GreenChill-certified at one of multiple tiered certification levels when it meets a set of criteria. Stores may demonstrate that the amount of refrigerant used is below a specified limit, based on the stores cooling load, measured in million British Thermal Units per hour (MBTU/hr), that the refrigerant emitted from the store in the prior 12 months is below the specified percentage for the GreenChill Store Certification level. Certifications are valid for one year; food retail locations must re-apply and meet the Program criteria if they wish to remain certified. Food retailers do not need to be a Partner to participate in this part of the Program. It is not necessary to have a signed a Partnership Agreement.

Emissions Certification and Compliance Requirements for Nonroad Compression-Ignition Engines and On-Highway Heavy Duty Engines (Revision)

Key Information

Abstract

Title II of the Clean Air Act, (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; CAA), charges the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with issuing certificates of conformity for those engines and vehicles that comply with applicable emission requirements. The emission values achieved during certification testing may also be used in the Averaging, Banking, and Trading (ABT) Program. The program allows engine manufacturers to bank credits for engine families that emit below the standard and use the credits to certify engine families that emit above the standard. They may also trade banked credits with other manufacturers. Participation in the ABT program is voluntary. The CAA also mandates EPA to verify that manufacturers have successfully translated their certified prototypes into mass-produced engines; and that these engines comply with emission standards throughout their useful lives. EPA verifies this through ‘Compliance Programs’ which include Production Line Testing (PLT), In-use Testing and Selective Enforcement Audits, (SEAs). In-use testing allows manufacturers and EPA to verify compliance with emission standards throughout an engine family’s useful life. Through SEAs, EPA verifies that test data submitted by engine manufacturers is reliable and testing is performed according to EPA regulations. Under the Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers (TPEM), NRCI equipment manufacturers were able to delay compliance with Tier 4 standards for up to seven years as long as they comply with certain limitations. The program, has ended for all power categories. This includes hardship relief. All TPEM forms, except the reporting templates and the bond worksheet are being retired in this action. Participants are required to keep records “for at least five full years after the final year in which allowances are available for each power category” (40 CFR 1039.625(h). The information requested is collected by the Compliance Division (CD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation, EPA. CD uses this information to issue certificates of conformity and ensure that manufacturers comply with applicable regulations and the CAA. Some HD data is also used by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to implement their programs under 49 USC 32902. EPA’s and NHTSA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance and the Department of Justice may use the information for enforcement purposes. Manufacturers may assert a claim of confidentiality over information provided to EPA. Confidentiality is granted in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act and EPA regulations at 40 CFR Part 2.

Uniform Procedures for State Highway Safety Grant Programs

Key Information

Abstract

This is to request approval of a new information collection request (ICR) titled “Uniform Procedures for State Highway Safety Grant Programs”. The purpose of the information collection is to collect information necessary for NHTSA to issue grants to States. This ICR is being submitted as part of a rulemaking to establish new uniform procedures for States to apply for and manage grants under Chapter 4 of Title 23, U.S.C., including State highway safety program grants, the National Priority Safety Program grants, and racial profiling data collection grants. On September 15, 2022, NHTSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in accordance with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA, also referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, or BIL). Rulemaking has been completed and became effective June 5, 2023 (See https://www.regulations.gov/document/NHTSA-2022-0036-0090) This ICR now replaces NHTSA’s existing ICR with OMB Control Number 2127-0730, for which we seek discontinuance. This ICR covers 5 information collections. These include: (1) the submission of a triennial Highway Safety Plan (HSP); (2) the submission of an annual application; (3) the submission of an annual report; (4) responses provided by States who wish to apply for 405b funds using the occupant protection assessment criterion; and (5) responses provided by States who wish to apply for 405d funds using the impaired driving assessment criterion. To receive grants, a State must submit a triennial Highway Safety Plan (HSP) that supports its qualifications for receiving grant funds. Specifically, the triennial HSP consists of information on the highway safety planning process, performance plan, highway safety countermeasure strategies for programming funds, a performance report, and certifications and assurances. Separately, an annual application is required to provide the project level detail in support of the triennial HSP and application materials that cover Section 405 and 1906 grants. States must also submit an annual report evaluating their progress in achieving performance targets and providing information about activities implemented during the grant year within 120 days after the fiscal year end. Responding to the information collection would be required for respondents to receive grants. Respondents to the collection include 57 State respondents (the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Secretary of the Interior). The triennial HSP is submitted once every three years, and the grant application is submitted annually. States must also submit an annual report. In addition, as part of the statutory criteria for Section 405 grants covering the areas of occupant protection and impaired driving countermeasures, some States may choose to, or be required to, receive an assessment of their State programs every five years in order to receive a grant. The assessments involve State and subject matter expert respondents. The assessment involves States providing certain information and responding to questions that are then provided to the subject matter experts. The subject matter experts in turn evaluate performance and provide recommendations for the purpose of improving programs in the covered areas. NHTSA estimates that, on average, 65 subject matter experts will conduct State assessments each year, and those responses will be coordinated by 13 administrative assistants. The subject matter experts are either recruited by NHTSA or the States volunteer to become assessors and are provided payment for their time. As explained in more detail below, the estimated annual burden hours averaged over the triennial cycle for all State respondents is 36,736 hours and a total cost of $1,896,739.68.

Teacher Cancellation Low Income Directory

Key Information

Abstract

The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) allows for up to a one hundred percent cancellation of a Federal Perkins Loan and loan forgiveness of a Federal Family Education Loan and Direct Loan program loan if the graduate teaches full-time in an elementary or secondary school serving low-income students. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, (HEA) allows for up to a one hundred percent cancellation of a Federal Perkins Loan and loan forgiveness of a Federal Family Education Loan and Direct Loan program loan if the graduate teaches full-time in an elementary or secondary school serving low-income students. The data collected for the development of the Teacher Cancellation Low Income Directory provides web-based access to a list of all elementary and secondary schools, and educational service agencies that serve a total enrollment of more than 30 percent low income students (as defined under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended). The Directory allows post-secondary institutions to determine whether or not a teacher, who received a Federal Perkins Loan, Direct Loan, or Federal Family Education Loan at their school, is eligible to receive loan cancellation or forgiveness or that a teacher who received a Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant is meeting the service obligation. This revision request updates the collection with an optional school type data element.

Depredation and Control Orders Under 50 CFR 21, Subpart D

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is associated with regulations implementing the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.). The MBTA implements four treaties concerning migratory birds that the United States has signed with Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Russia. Under the treaties, we must preserve most species of birds in the United States, and activities involving migratory birds are prohibited except as authorized by regulation. We collect information concerning depredation actions taken under 50 CFR 21.43 (authorizes the take of blackbirds, cowbirds, crows, grackles, and magpies under certain circumstances) and 50 CFR 21.46 (authorizes the take of scrub jays and Steller’s jays in Washington and Oregon under certain circumstances). We collect the information to determine how many birds of each species are taken each year and whether the control actions are likely to affect the populations of those species. 50 CFR 21.43(f )(6) requires that when an injured or debilitated bird of a nontarget species is federally listed as an endangered, threatened, or candidate species, you must deliver it to a rehabilitator and report the take to the nearest U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Field Office or Special Agent.

Key Information

Abstract

FCC Form 2100, Schedule B (formerly FCC Form 302-DTV) is used by licensees and permittees of full power broadcast stations to obtain a new or modified station license and/or to notify the Commission of certain changes in the licensed facilities of those stations. It may be used: (1) To cover an authorized construction permit (or auxiliary antenna), provided that the facilities have been constructed in compliance with the provisions and conditions specified on the construction permit; or (2) To implement modifications to existing licenses as permitted by 47 C.F.R. Sections 73.1675(c) or 73.1690(c). On March 23, 2017, the Commission adopted the Report and Order, Channel Sharing by Full Power and Class A Stations Outside the Broadcast Television Spectrum Incentive Auction Context, GN Docket No. 12-268, MB Docket No. 03-185, MB Docket No. 15-137, FCC 17-29 (“Report and Order”). This document approved channel sharing outside of the incentive auction context between full power, Class A, Low Power Television (LPTV) and TV translator stations. Although there are no changes to the FCC Form 2100, Schedule B itself, there are changes to the substance, burden hours, and costs as described herein. 47 C.F.R. section 73.3800 allows full power television stations to channel share with other full power stations, Class A, LPTV and TV translator stations outside of the incentive auction context. Full power stations file FCC Form 2100, Schedule B in order to complete the licensing of their shared channel.

Abstract

On April 20, 2017, the Commission adopted a Report and Order in MB Docket No. 12-106, FCC 17-41, In the Matter of Noncommercial Educational Station Fundraising for Third-Party Non-Profit Organizations. Under the Commission’s existing rules, a noncommercial educational (NCE) broadcast station may not conduct fundraising activities to benefit any entity besides the station itself if the activities would substantially alter or suspend regular programming. The Report and Order relaxes the rules to allow NCE stations to spend up to one percent of their total annual airtime conducting on-air fundraising activities that interrupt regular programming for the benefit of third-party non-profit organizations.
