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.

| 202006-0960-002 | Application for Benefits Under a U.S. International Social Security Agreement | SSA | 2020-10-06 | 2024-07-24 | Approved with change | Active | Revision of a currently approved collection
Application for Benefits Under a U.S. International Social Security Agreement
Key Information
Abstract
When SSA enters into international Social Security agreements between the United States and foreign countries, applicants can file for benefits from one country, and that application can constitute an application for benefits from the other country, provided the applicants express the intent to claim benefits from the other country at the time of the initial application. SSA refers to these agreements as Totalization agreements. Under these agreements, we may base benefits on combined periods of coverage from the two agreement countries. SSA uses the information from the SSA-2490-BK to determine entitlement to Social Security benefits from the United States or from a country that has entered into a Social Security agreement with the United States. The respondents are individuals who are applying for old-age, survivors or disability benefits from the U.S. or from a Totalization agreement country. |

| 202007-0960-004 | SSI Notice of Interim Assistance Reimbursement (IAR) | SSA | 2020-10-06 | 2024-05-15 | Approved with change | Active | Revision of a currently approved collection
SSI Notice of Interim Assistance Reimbursement (IAR)
Key Information
Abstract
Section 1631(g) of the Social Security Act authorizes SSA to reimburse an IAR agency from an individual’s retroactive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment for assistance the IAR agency gave the individual for meeting basic needs while an SSI claim was pending or SSI payments were suspended or terminated. The State or local agency needs an IAR agreement with SSA to participate in the IAR program. The individual receiving the IAR payment signs an authorization form with an IAR agency to allow SSA to repay the IAR agency for funds paid in advance prior to SSA’s determination on the individual’s claim. The authorization represents the individual’s intent to file for SSI, if they did not file an application prior to SSA receiving the authorization. Agencies who wish to enter into an IAR agreement with SSA needs to meet the following requirements: • Reporting Requirements - Each IAR agency agrees to: (a) notify SSA of receipt of an authorization for initial claims or cases they are appealing, and (b) submit a copy of that authorization either through a manual or electronic process; (c) inform SSA of the amount of reimbursement; (d) submit a written request for dispute resolution on a determination; (e) notify SSA of interim assistance paid (using the SSA–8125 or the SSA– L8125–F6); (f) inform SSA of any deceased claimants who participate in the IAR program and ; (g) review and sign an agreement with SSA. • Recordkeeping Requirements (h & i) – the IAR agencies agree to retain all notices, agreement, authorizations, and accounting forms for the period defined in the IAR agreement for the purposes of SSA verifying transactions covered under the agreement. • Third Party Disclosure Requirements (j): Each participating IAR agency agrees to send written notices from the IAR agency to the recipient regarding payment amounts and appeal rights. • Periodic Review of Agency Accounting Process (k-m) – the IAR agency makes the IAR accounting records of paid cases available for SSA review and verification. SSA conducts reviews either onsite or through the mail of the authorization forms, notices to the claimant and accounting forms. Upon completion of the review, SSA provides a written report of findings to the IAR agency director. The respondents are State IAR officers. |

| 202010-0960-002 | Medicare Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount - Life-Changing Event | SSA | 2020-10-02 | 2024-07-25 | Approved with change | Active | Revision of a currently approved collection
Medicare Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount - Life-Changing Event
Key Information
Abstract
Per the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, selected Medicare insurance recipients pay an income-related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA). The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) transmits income tax return data to SSA for SSA to determine the amount of IRMAA. SSA uses Form SSA-44 to determine if a recipient qualifies for a reduction in IRMMA. If affected Medicare recipients believe SSA should use more recent tax data because a life-changing event occurred that significantly reduces their income, they can report these changes to SSA and ask for a new initial determination of their IRMAA. |

Waiver from Tier 4 Emission Standards for Marine Diesel Engines (Final Rule)
Key Information
Abstract
EPA is amending its regulations at 40 CFR part 1042 to allow qualified boat builders to install engines that meet EPAs Tier 3 emission standards instead of the Tier 4 emission standards. EPA adopted the Tier 4 standards June 30, 2008 under the authority of the Clean Air Act (73 FR 37096). The relevant standards took effect January 1, 2017 for engines above 1,000 kW, and October 1, 2017 for 600-1,000 kW engines. The final rule specifies that boat builders must submit information describing their need for regulatory relief and demonstrate that they meet the qualifying conditions. |

Pesticide Registration Fees Program
Key Information
Abstract
This Information Collection Requests (ICR) covers the paperwork burden hours and costs associated with the information collection activities under the pesticide registration fee programs implemented through the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Pesticide registrants are required by statute to pay an annual registration maintenance fee for all products registrated under Section 3 and Section 24(c) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). In addition the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA) amended FIFRA in 2004 to create a registration service fee for applications for specific pesticide registration, amended registration, and associated tolerance actions (Section 33). This ICR specifically covers the activities related to the collection of the annual registration maintenance fees, the registration fees and the burden associated with the submission of requests for fees to be waived. |

Standards for Pesticide Containers and Containment (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with the pesticide container design and residue removal requirements and containment structure requirements. With respect to the container design and residue removal requirements, the information collection activities are associated with the requirement that businesses subject to the container regulations (pesticide registrants) and repackaging regulations (pesticide registrants and refillers) maintain records of test data, cleaning procedures, certain data when a container is refilled, and other supporting information. These records are subject to both call-in by EPA and on-site inspection by EPA and its representatives. EPA has not established a regular schedule for the collection of these records, and there is no reporting. With respect to the containment structure requirements, the information collection activities are associated with the requirement that businesses subject to the containment structure regulations maintain records of the: (1) Monthly inspection and maintenance of each containment structure and all stationary bulk containers; (2) Duration over which non-stationary bulk containers holding pesticide and not protected by a secondary containment unit remain at the same location; and (3) Construction date of the containment structure. The businesses subject to the containment structure regulations include agrichemical retailers and refilling establishments, custom blenders and commercial applicators of agricultural pesticides. The records have to be maintained by the owners and operators of such businesses, and made available to inspectors to ensure that businesses are in compliance with containment requirements. These inspections are generally conducted by the states, which enforce FIFRA regulations through cooperative agreements with EPA. |
