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.

Drivers’ Use of Camera-Based Rear Visibility Systems Versus Traditional Mirrors

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed to perform research involving the collection of information from the public as part of a multi-year effort to learn about drivers’ use of camera-based rear visibility systems as compared to their use of traditional vehicle outside mirrors. This research will support NHTSA in evaluating whether to pursue a regulation modification that would permit technologies other than mirrors, such as camera-based visibility systems (sometimes referred to as camera monitor systems (CMS)), for compliance with FMVSS No. 111. The data collections will be performed once to obtain the target number of valid test participants. Study participants will be members of the general public and participation will be voluntary. Participants will include licensed car and/or commercial truck drivers aged 25 to 65, who are healthy and able to drive without assistive devices. Participants will be recruited using print and online newspaper advertisements. Study participation will be voluntary and monetary compensation will be provided. The research will be conducted in two parts. Data collection will begin upon receipt of PRA clearance and will first involve light vehicles, and a second, subsequent part will involve heavy trucks. Participants will drive a production vehicle equipped with a commercially available or prototype camera-based visibility system in place of outside mirrors and a vehicle equipped with an original equipment mirror system. The research will involve track-based and on-road, semi-naturalistic driving experimentation. Vehicles used in testing will be equipped with instrumentation for recording driver eye-glance behavior, as well as vehicle speed, position, steering angle, and turn signal status. Sensors will also be used to determine and record the distances between the test vehicle and surrounding vehicles during testing. Information will be collected over the course of the research through participant recruitment screening questions, observation of driving behaviors, and post-drive questionnaires. Questions addressed to individuals will serve to assess individuals’ suitability for study participation, to obtain feedback regarding participants’ use of the CMS, and to gauge individuals’ level of comfort with and confidence in the CMS performance and safety.

Nuclear Material Events Database (NMED) for the Collection of Event Report, Response, Analyses, and Follow-up Data on Events Involving the Use of Atomic Energy Act Radioactive Byproduct Material

Key Information

Abstract

NRC regulations require NRC licensees to report incidents and over exposures, leaking or contaminated sealed source(s), release of excessive contamination of radioactive material, lost or stolen radioactive material, equipment failures, abandoned well logging sources and medical events. Agreement State licenses are also required to report these events to their individual Agreement State regulatory authorities under compatible Agreement State regulations. The NRC is requesting that the Agreement States provide information to NRC on the initial notification, response actions, and follow-up investigations on events involving the use (including suspected theft or terrorist activities) of nuclear materials regulated pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act. The event information should be provided in a uniform electronic format, for assessment and identification of any facilities/site specific or generic safety concerns that could have the potential to impact public health and safety. The identification and review of safety concerns may result in lessons learned, and may also identify generic issues for further study which could result in proposals for changes or revisions to technical or regulatory designs, processes, standards, guidance or requirements.

Stem Cell Therapeutic Outcomes Database

Key Information

Abstract

The Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-129, December 20, 2005) as amended and codified in Section 379A of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247l), provides for the collection and maintenance of human blood stem cells for the treatment of patients and research. The Public Health Service Act requires the Secretary of HHS to contract for the establishment and maintenance of information related to patients who have received stem cell therapeutic products and to do so using an electronic format. HRSA has established the Stem Cell Therapeutic Outcomes Database (SCTOD), a component of the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program (Program), which necessitates certain electronic record-keeping and reporting requirements to perform functions related to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) under contract to HHS. Data are collected from transplant centers by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. They are used for ongoing analysis of transplant outcomes to improve treatment and survival for patients who may benefit from cellular therapies.

Tobacco Products, User Fees, Requirements for the Submission of Data Needed to Calculate User Fees for Domestic Manufacturers and Importers of Tobacco Products

Key Information

Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule that requires domestic manufacturers and importers of cigars and pipe tobacco to submit information needed to calculate the amount of user fees assessed under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act). FDA recently expanded its authority by issuing a final rule, “Deeming Tobacco Products To Be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act; Restrictions on the Sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products and Required Warning Statements for Tobacco Products” (Deeming rule), deeming all products that meet the statutory definition of “tobacco product,” except accessories of the newly deemed tobacco products, to be subject to the FD&C Act. The Deeming rule, among other things, subjected domestic manufacturers and importers of cigars and pipe tobacco to the FD&C Act’s user fee requirements. Consistent with the Deeming rule and the requirements of the FD&C Act, this final rule requires the submission of the information needed to calculate user fee assessments for each manufacturer and importer of cigars and pipe tobacco to FDA.

2026-2027 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 483 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), mandates that the Secretary of Education “…shall produce, distribute, and process free of charge common financial reporting forms as described in this subsection to be used for application and reapplication to determine the need and eligibility of a student for financial assistance...”. The determination of need and eligibility are for the following Title IV, HEA, federal student financial assistance programs: the Federal Pell Grant Program; the Campus-Based programs (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) and Federal Work-Study (FWS)); the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program; the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant; and the Children of Fallen Heroes Scholarship. Federal Student Aid (FSA), an office of the U.S. Department of Education (the Department), subsequently developed an application process to collect and process the data necessary to determine a student’s eligibility to receive Title IV, HEA program assistance. The application process involves an applicant’s submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). After submission and processing of the FAFSA form, an applicant receives a FAFSA Submission Summary, which is a summary of the processed data they submitted on the FAFSA form. The applicant reviews the summary, and, if necessary, will make corrections or updates to their submitted FAFSA data. Institutions of higher education listed by the applicant on the FAFSA form also receive a summary of processed data submitted on the FAFSA form, which is called the Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR). The specific questions that applicants are asked to answer in the application process are described separately in the Data Elements and Justification document. The document identifies the data elements associated with each FAFSA question and provides the justification for including each question on the FAFSA form. In addition to the calculation of financial need for the various Title IV programs, the FAFSA form also collects data that allows for a determination of an applicant’s eligibility for state and institutional financial aid programs. If these data elements were not collected, the Department and institutions of higher education would be unable to make a determination of financial need and subsequently would be unable to award any Title IV, HEA program assistance, as mandated by the HEA. Many states would also be greatly hindered in their calculation of state aid to applicants. This is a request for revisions of a current information collection, and important changes to the FAFSA form are described separately in the 2026-27 Summary of Enhancements document.Emergency Justfication:The OBBBA was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The Act made changes to the FAFSA for the 2026-27 award year. The Department would not have been able to make these changes prior to the enactment of the OBBBA. Because of this, obtaining full OMB clearance to use the most accurate version of the FAFSA prior to FAFSA beta testing and FAFSA launch would not be possible. The FAFSA form is scheduled to be launched by October 1,2025 for the 2026-2027 award year. Without emergency review of an updated FAFSA form, beta testing and the launch of the FAFSA would be delayed. This means that students would not be able to complete a FAFSA form to determine eligibility for federal student aid. Institutions of higher education would not be able to package aid for their students until their students’ FAFSA forms have been processed. These delays would cause the FAFSA form to not be available to the public on time. Applicants and schools rely on the on-time launch of the FAFSA form each year. Delays could impact institutional enrollment projections, student enrollment, and student decisions to apply for federal student aid.

The Hours of Service (HOS) rules apply to both property and passenger motor carriers. The HOS rules set limits on the on-duty time and driving time of CMV drivers, and mandate the amount and frequency of the time off-duty that such drivers must receive. Two types of information are collected under this IC: (1) drivers’ daily record of duty status (RODS) (electronic records or, in some cases, paper logbooks), and (2) supporting documents, such as fuel and toll receipts, that may be used by motor carriers to verify the accuracy of the RODS and to document expense deductions taken in the determination of taxable income. The information is collected on an annual basis. The purpose of the collection of the RODS and supporting documents of the HOS rules is to provide the Agency with its most effective tool in combating driver fatigue. Enforcement officials at roadside employ the RODS and supporting documents to determine the amount of time a driver has spent off duty prior to the driver’s current duty day. They also determine the amount of time the driver has been on duty that duty day, and the amount of time the driver has been behind the wheel driving during the duty day. Enforcement officials examine the RODS for seven of the immediately preceding days to determine compliance with the HOS rules. The RODS are an invaluable tool used to detect inaccurate and falsified logs that facilitates removing fatigued, unsafe drivers off the road. Enforcement officials employ the RODS and supporting documents retained by the motor carrier when conducting on-site investigative reviews of motor carriers. The safety assessments that result from such reviews are public information, and many shippers routinely examine the assessments, as well as crash and regulatory compliance records, when selecting a motor carrier. The Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) requires States, as a condition of receiving grant funding, to adopt and enforce State CMV safety laws and regulations that are compatible with the FMCSRs and these include the HOS rules. States embrace the Federal enforcement scheme for regulating safety in the operation of CMVs, and work closely with Federal investigators in enforcing the HOS rules. Motor carriers also help FMCSA detect fatigued drivers. It is in their interest to be proactive in detecting inaccuracy or falsification of RODS by their CMV drivers to avoid the penalties resulting from such infractions. Replacing paper RODS with electronic RODS enhances the accuracy and minimizes the falsification of RODS. Motor carriers will continue to examine the supporting documents, such as fuel receipts, toll receipts, bills of lading, repair invoices, and compare them to the entries on the RODS. Comparing supporting documents to the RODS helps the motor carrier verify the accuracy of the HOS reported by their CMV drivers. Motor carrier use of the RODS and driver-supplied supporting documents enhances driver adherence to the HOS rules, keeps fatigued drivers off the road, and helps FMCSA protect the public. This ICR supports the Department of Transportation’s Strategic Goal of Safety because the information helps the Agency improve the safety of drivers operating CMVs on our Nation’s highways.

Business Trends and Outlook Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS) will be a new experimental survey with bi-weekly data collection and publication. This continuous near real time data publication will provide a baseline of the U.S. economy and will measure change as a result of current and future economic shocks. The ongoing nature of the BTOS is in response to stakeholder feedback on the Small Business Pulse Survey (SBPS), which was that economic baseline or ‘norms’ data would have been helpful to have in comparison to the SBPS data on pandemic impact.

Part C and Part D Medicare Prescription Payment Plan Model Documents (CMS-10882) - IRA

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of this information collection request for the approval of model documents for the Medicare Prescription Drug Program (Part D) is to meet the requirements of Section 11202 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, Public L. 117-169 (IRA), which established the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan Program. Under this program, MA Organizations offering Part D coverage and Part D sponsors are required to offer enrollees the option to pay their Part D cost sharing in monthly amounts spread out over the plan year based on the formula described in section 1860D-2(b)(2)(E)(iv) of the Act. There are several education and outreach requirements for plan sponsors related to implementation of this program. The proposed documents in this information collection are designed to assist Part D plan sponsors and MA organizations in complying with Sections 1860D-2(b)(2)(E)(v)(II) – (IV) of the Social Security Act (the Act), which set forth the education and outreach responsibilities for Part D sponsors and MA organizations for this program. CMS has developed the six materials in the attached package as model notices to provide standardized and consistent language for potential and active program participants, regardless of which Part D plan they may be enrolled in. CMS will require Part D plans to disseminate these notices, as appropriate, to Part D enrollees to fulfill the requirements of the Sections 1860D-2(b)(2)(E)(v)(II) – (IV) of the Act. The six model notices and their related burden are accounted for in this PRA package. By providing these model notices, CMS is providing standardized messaging for all Part D beneficiaries and reducing administrative burden on Part D sponsors and MA organizations.

Contractor Information Worksheet; GSA Form 850

Key Information

Abstract

Information collected through the Contractor Information Worksheet is necessary to meet: ● The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Guidance M-05-24 for Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12 which authorizes Federal departments and agencies to ensure that contractors/their employees have limited/controlled access to facilities and information systems, and ● GSA Directive CIO P 2181.1 Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 Personal Identity Verification and Credentialing which states that GSA contractors/their employees must undergo a minimum of a FBI National Criminal Information Check (NCIC) to receive unescorted physical access. GSA requires the collection of the information in the Contractor Information Worksheet to authorize and initiate background check requests for GSA contractor employees and for them to obtain a GSA access card. The background checks are carried out by the Office of Personnel Management, Facilities, Security & Contracting-Personnel Security (OPM FSC) and the credentialing process is carried out by the GSA’s Managed Service Office (MSO) in accordance with the terms and conditions of separate Memoranda of Agreement (MOAs). 2. Use of the Information. The GSA requesting official, referred to as “Sponsor,” collects and inputs the Contractor Information Worksheet data into the GSA Credential and Identity Management System (GCIMS). GSA Office of Mission Assurance (OMA) Identity, Credential and Access Management (ICAM) Division then uploads the relevant contractor data from GCIMS to the OPM e-QIP system for initiation of the contractor background investigation process. GCIMS automatically sends relevant data to the MSO for enrollment, including digital fingerprints for investigation and GSA access card, if needed. The OPM FSC performs the required background checks for GSA contractor employees once the applicant completes the e-QIP and fingerprinting process. The requesting official is responsible for requesting the investigation and/or GSA access card. Often the GSA requesting official is the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for the contract, but this role may be fulfilled by a project manager, Public Buildings Service (PBS) building manager, or local Access Card Point of Contact (POC) as appropriate. If the applicant has a prior background check, OPM FSC uses the information in e-QIP to verify the prior determination. When OPM FSC makes an access determination, they notify the OMA ICAM Division. The OMA ICAM Division will input the results into GCIMS and notify the applicant, GSA sponsor, GSA POCs, and contractor’s point of contact.
