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.

Patents External Quality Survey

Key Information

Abstract

This United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) External Quality Survey is an instrument designed to measure opinions about the services that USPTO provides its patent application customers. The results from this voluntary survey will assist the USPTO in guiding improvements and enhancements in the future. This survey narrows the focus of customer satisfaction to examination quality. It also uses a longitudinal, rotating panel design to assess changes in customer perceptions and to identify key areas for examiner training and opportunities for improvement. The USPTO uses this survey to identify problems with examination quality and works to resolve these issues in a timely manner. The USPTO surveys patent agents, attorneys, and other individuals from large domestic corporations (including those with over 500 employees), small and medium-size businesses, independent inventors, and universities and other non-profit research organizations. This survey does not request responses from foreign entities.

Complaints Submission Process under the No Surprises Act (CMS-10779)

Key Information

Abstract

Enacted on December 27, 2020, the No Surprises Act, which was enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code). The No Surprise Act implements provisions that protect individuals from surprise medical bills for emergency services, air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers, and non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at participating facilities in certain circumstances. Additionally, the No Surprises Act sets forth a complaints processes with respect to potential violations of balance billing requirements set forth in the No Surprises Act. The No Surprises Act provides federal protections against surprise billing and limits out-of-network cost sharing under many of the circumstances in which surprise medical bills arise most frequently. The 2021 interim final regulations “Requirements Related to Surprise Billing; Part I” (86 FR 36872, 2021 interim final regulations) issued by the Departments of Health and Humans Services (HHS), Department of Labor (DOL), the Department of Treasury (collectively, the Departments), implement provisions of the No Surprises Act that apply to group health plans, health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage that provide protections against balance billing and out-of-network cost sharing with respect to emergency services, non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at certain participating health care facilities, and air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers of air ambulance services. The No Surprises Act and the 2021 interim final regulations directs the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Department of Treasury (collectively, “the Departments”) to establish a process to receive complaints regarding violations of the application of qualifying payment amount (QPA) requirements by group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group or individual health coverage. The No Surprises Act also directs HHS to establish a process to receive consumer complaints regarding violations by health care providers, facilities, and providers of air ambulance services regarding balance billing requirements and to respond to such complaints within 60 days.

Form ID - Application for EDGAR Access

Key Information

Abstract

Form ID will be used to determine whether to grant applicants access to EDGAR, and if granted, Form ID will be used to designate specific individuals the applicant authorizes as its account administrator(s) to manage the EDGAR account.Emergency Justfication:The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) is requesting emergency consideration, pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 3507(j) as implemented at 5 CFR 1320.13, for OMB Control Nos. 3235-0104 (Form 3), 3235-0287 (Form 4), 3235-0362 (Form 5) and 3235-0328 (Form ID) in connection with Release No. 34-104903 (“Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act Disclosure” final rule release). On December 18, 2025, Congress enacted the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act (HFIA Act). The HFIA Act amended Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) to require every person who is a director or an officer of a “foreign private issuer,” as that term is defined in 17 CFR 240.3b-4, with a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (but not 10 percent holders of FPIs) to file Form 3, Form 4, and/or Form 5. Paragraph (b)(2) of the HFIA Act states that the Section 16(a) amendments made by the HFIA Act shall take effect on the date that is 90 days after the date of enactment, or March 18, 2026. Paragraph (d)(1) of the HFIA Act required the Commission to issue final regulations (or amend or rescind, in whole or in part, existing regulations) to carry out the amendments made by the HFIA Act no later than 90 days after the date of enactment. The Commission’s final rules, adopted on February 27, 2026, included amendments to the General Instructions to Form 3 to clarify who needs to file the form under the HFIA Act, as well as some technical amendments to Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5. The amendments conformed these forms to the requirements of the HFIA Act. In order to file disclosures on Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5 on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”) (the Commission’s primary system for companies and individuals to submit documents pursuant to the federal securities laws), directors and officers of FPIs must apply for EDGAR access on Form ID. The final rules will not change Form ID itself, but we anticipate that the number of Form ID filings will increase. In light of the statutory requirement that directors and officers of any FPI whose securities were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g) of the Exchange Act as of the date of enactment of the HFIA Act file their initial reports with the Commission on March 18, 2026, and the related requirement that the Commission amend its rules to reflect the changes made by the HFIA Act by that same date, the Commission believes that the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to disrupt the collection of information mandated by the HFIA Act and cause the Commission to miss its statutory deadline to make conforming changes to its rules. In connection with this request, the Commission has determined: 1.The collections of information are needed prior to the time periods established under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and applicable regulations. 2.The collections are essential to the mission of the agency. 3.As discussed above, the Commission cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to disrupt a collection of information and cause a statutory deadline to be missed. 4.The Commission requests OMB approve or disapprove the collections of information by March 18, 2026.

Abstract

Form 4 is a statement of changes in beneficial ownership of equity securities required to be filed by officers, directors and ten percent holders of companies with securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.Emergency Justfication:The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) is requesting emergency consideration, pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 3507(j) as implemented at 5 CFR 1320.13, for OMB Control Nos. 3235-0104 (Form 3), 3235-0287 (Form 4), 3235-0362 (Form 5) and 3235-0328 (Form ID) in connection with Release No. 34-104903 (“Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act Disclosure” final rule release).

Abstract

Form 3 is an initial statement of beneficial ownership of equity securities required to be filed by officers, directors and ten percent holders of companies with securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.Emergency Justfication:The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) is requesting emergency consideration, pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 3507(j) as implemented at 5 CFR 1320.13, for OMB Control Nos. 3235-0104 (Form 3), 3235-0287 (Form 4), 3235-0362 (Form 5) and 3235-0328 (Form ID) in connection with Release No. 34-104903 (“Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act Disclosure” final rule release).

Form F-3 Registration Statement

Key Information

Abstract

The Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) was designed to prevent misrepresentation, deceit and other fraudulent acts and practices in the sale of securities. Section 5 of the Securities Act requires that a registration statement be filed before any security is publicly offered, and that the registration statement be effective before any security is sold. Section 7 of the Securities Act and Schedule A outlines the information that must be contained in a registration statement. Section 7 gives the Commission the authority to vary such disclosure for various classes of issuers and securities. The Commission has used its statutory authority to develop a number of specialized registration statement forms that tailor disclosure requirements based on the type of offering, issuer, or other parameters, thereby eliminating burdensome and unnecessary requirements while maintaining investor protection. Form F-3 (17 CFR 239.33) is a short-form securities registration statement that is available to any foreign private issuer as defined in Securities Act Rule 405 (17 CFR 230.405) that meets certain registrant and transaction eligibility requirements under the form. The purpose of the information collection is to provide disclosure of material financial and other information with which investors may evaluate the merits of securities in order to make investment decisions.

Services Provided to Unaccompanied Alien Children

Key Information

Abstract

The “Services Provided to Unaccompanied Alien Children” information collection contains five instruments that allow the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to provide services to unaccompanied alien children as required by the Homeland Security Act (HSA) (6 U.S.C. 279), the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (TVPRA) (8 U.S.C. 1232), the Unaccompanied Children Program Foundational Rule, (45 C.F.R. part 410), as well as other ORR regulations (i.e., 45 C.F.R. parts 411 and 412), and the provisions of the Flores Settlement Agreement (No. CV85-4544-RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996)) that still apply to the Department of Health and Human Services. The collection was last approved by OMB on June 9, 2025, and the current expiration date is June 30, 2028. ORR is proposing changes to one form in this collection, the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Case Status (Form S-27). Specifically, ORR is proposing changes to the Location of Child appendix. These changes are based on feedback from UAC Portal users and aim to improve the utility of the information collection for ORR and respondents.

New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
Electronic Monitoring and Vessel Monitoring Systems for Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fisheries Temporary Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

This is a new, temporary collection of information pursuant to Amendment 15 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) (Amendment 15) and associated rulemaking, or RIN 0648-BI10. This temporary collection, OMB Control Number 0648-0816, was created due to timing conflicts with OMB Control Number 0648-0372, which came up for renewal before publication of the final rule for Amendment 15. Once 0648-0372 is renewed and the Amendment 15 final rule information collection is approved, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will submit a request to merge this temporary collection into 0648-0372. Amendment 15 will establish two pelagic longline (PLL) monitoring areas, in which PLL vessels that are approved to fish will be required to report interactions with select bycatch species by set via their vessel monitoring system (VMS) units. Several changes were made to this information collection (ICR) from the proposed to the final rule that resulted in changes to the burden and cost estimates for this collection. Previously, NMFS had proposed to make the pelagic longline fleet responsible for covering their EM monitoring costs consistent with the NOAA Cost Allocation Policy (Procedure 04-115-02). Based in part on public comment, NMFS has decided to maintain the status quo, and continue to cover these costs, for now, for vessels fishing outside of the proposed monitoring areas. However, vessel owners would still need to pay for and arrange for video review of sets from trips that occur wholly or in part in monitoring areas. Under the proposed rule, 100 percent of sets for trips that occurred within the monitoring areas were to be reviewed, but under the final rule that sampling rate has been lowered to 50 percent. To mitigate the economic impact of this added cost to the PLL fleet, NMFS is still establishing a vendor certification process to encourage additional EM vendors to enter the market, and decrease costs through competition and by leveraging the existing infrastructure of vendors already providing video services to other fisheries. However, vessel owners would only be allowed to employ these vendors for EM monitoring and video review for trips within the monitoring areas. For trips outside of monitoring areas, where NMFS will still pay for EM monitoring, vessel owners must continue to use the government contracted EM vendor. Additionally, NMFS has increased the effort caps for pelagic longline sets conducted within the monitoring areas, based on public comments expressing concerns that the proposed caps were too low to provide the needed data to evaluate the effectiveness of closed areas. This increase in the monitoring area effort caps will result in higher burden estimates as vessel owners will be required to submit effort and catch reports via their VMS units for each set within the monitoring areas.

Administration for Children and Families Generic for Information Collections related to Gatherings

Key Information

Abstract

This request is to establish a new umbrella generic clearance for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to request information from potential participants at ACF gatherings, such as meetings or conferences. This may include large scale conferences, meetings for grantees or contractors, workshops, trainings, poster sessions, and other in-person and virtual gatherings for individuals with interest in ACF programs (clients, researchers, policymakers, etc.), among others. To ensure ACF has adequate information to plan these activities, the Agency must often collect information from potential participants such as basic contact information, preferences for attendance (mode, special requests, etc.), organizational affiliation, feedback about meeting content, etc. Additionally, some activities require ACF to have additional information to have the means to select the most appropriate participants for attendance according to the type or purpose of a given activity, or to group participants into the most appropriate category or activity during an event. This may include information about poster presentations, speaking panels, training courses, professional perspectives or experiences, etc. In addition, attendees may be asked to submit an application or abstract for prescreening to be selected for attendance. The planning for meetings is most often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act would inhibit the ability to collect information to inform these activities. Therefore, an umbrella generic is necessary to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar information collections related to these activities. As part of this generic, ACF requests OMB provide a response on individual generic information collections within 5 business days. If no response is received and the request meets the purposes, uses and scope outlined in this document, ACF may move forward with the proposed information collection.
