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.

Online Application Order Form for Products from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP)

Key Information

Abstract

To support AHRQ's mission to improve health care through scientific research, HCUP databases and software tools are disseminated to users outside of the Agency through a mechanism known as the HCUP Central Distributor. The HCUP Central Distributor assists qualified researchers to access uniform research data across multiple states with the use of one application process. The HCUP databases disseminated through the Central distributor are referred to as "restricted access public release files"; that is, they are publicly available, but only under restricted conditions. The HCUP Central Distributor Online Reporting System facilitates the HCUP data users with ordering, purchasing, and re-using HCUP databases, including data applications, requesting complementary databases, submitting data re-use and data sharing requests. The website can be found at: https://cdors.ahrq.gov/ The HCUP Central Distributor User Guide provides detailed instructions on how to purchase, protect, re-use and share the HCUP data. This ICR is for the activities associated with the HCUP database application process not the collection of health care data for HCUP databases. Revisions to this ICR include a redesigned HCUP application form and reducing the number of DUAs to one state and one nationwide version.

Key Information

Abstract

CMS' regulatory authority to require data validation is described in 42 CFR 422.516(g) and 423.514(g). Organizations contracted to offer Medicare Part C and Part D benefits are required to report data to CMS on a variety of measures. In order for the data to be useful for monitoring and performance measurement, the data must be reliable, valid, complete, and comparable among sponsoring organizations. To meet this goal, CMS has developed reporting standards and data validation specifications with respect to the Part C and Part D reporting requirements. These standards provide a review process for Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs), Cost Plans, and Part D sponsors to use to conduct independent data validation checks on their reported Part C and Part D data to determine their reliability, validity, completeness, and comparability in accordance with specifications developed by CMS.

Abstract

Section 1848(q) of the Social Security Act, as amended by section 101 of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, authorizes the establishment of a Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for eligible clinicians. Beginning in CY 2017, eligible clinicians are required to collect and submit data on four performance categories to CMS (quality, cost, advancing care information and improvement activities). This program replaces and consolidates portions of the PQRS, Value-based Modifier, and the Medicare EHR Incentive Program. The Act also establishes a second track, Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs) for clinicians to participate in instead of MIPS.

Data will be used to inform the descriptive epidemiology of SDY, including the incidence, and risk factors. These data will be used to inform prevention strategies as well as best practices for national surveillance of SDY. The changes proposed with this reinstatement include a decrease in burden due to more accurate estimates of time needed to complete modules and better estimates of the number of respondents and the number requiring advanced review. This is an extension of a collection set to expire 9/30/25

Key Information

Abstract

Subject to OMB approval, the Commission intends to consolidate this information collection into revised OMB Control No. 3235-0083 and ultimately discontinue this control number. Under Section 15B(c) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-4(c)), any registered municipal securities dealer may, upon such terms and conditions as the Commission may deem necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors, withdraw from registration by filing a written notice of withdrawal with the Commission. Rule 15Bc3-1 (17 CFR 240.15Bc3-1) provides that bank municipal securities dealers that wish to withdraw from registration must file a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form MSDW (17 CFR 249.1110). Rule 15Bc3-1 further provides that, prior to filing a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form MSDW, a bank municipal securities dealer must amend Form MSD in accordance with Rule 15Ba2-1(b) (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-1(b)) to update any inaccurate information. The Commission uses information obtained from Form MSDW filings to, among other things, determine whether it is in the public interest to permit a bank municipal securities dealer to withdraw its registration. Certain provisions of Rule 15Bc3-1 apply to non-bank municipal securities dealers which make registration filings on the standard forms for brokers and dealers (Form BD instead of Form MSD, and Form BDW instead of Form MSDW). Burden estimates for such non-bank municipal securities dealers are accounted for in the Supporting Statements for Form BD (OMB Control No. 3235-0012) and Form BDW (OMB Control No. 3235-0018) and are not included herein.

Abstract

Subject to OMB approval, the Commission intends to consolidate this information collection into revised OMB Control No. 3235-0083 and ultimately discontinue this control number. Rule 15Ba2-5 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-5) permits a duly appointed (or duly qualified) fiduciary to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of a registered municipal securities dealer’s business. Without the rule, the fiduciary would not be able to assume operation until it registered as a municipal securities dealer. Under the rule, the registration of a municipal securities dealer is deemed to be the registration of any executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, trustee in insolvency or bankruptcy, or other fiduciary, appointed or qualified by order, judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction to continue the business of such municipal securities dealer, provided that such fiduciary files with the Commission, within 30 days after entering upon the performance of his duties, a statement setting forth as to such fiduciary substantially the same information required by Form MSD or Form BD (“Rule 15Ba2-5 Statement”). The Commission uses the information obtained from Rule 15Ba2-5 Statements to, among other things, determine whether the fiduciary meets the standards for registration set forth in the Exchange Act.

The Commission uses the information obtained from Form MSD filings to, among other things, determine whether bank municipal securities dealers and their Rule 15Ba2-4 successors meet the standards for registration set forth in the Exchange Act. Certain provisions of Rule 15Ba2-4 apply to non-bank municipal securities dealers which make registration filings on the standard forms for brokers and dealers (Form BD instead of Form MSD, and Form BDW instead of Form MSDW).

Registration of Municipal Securities Dealers (Form MSD, Form MSDW, and Rule 15Ba2-5 Statements)

Key Information

Abstract

Under Section 15B(a) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-4(a)), municipal securities dealers which are banks, or separately identifiable departments or divisions of banks (collectively, “bank municipal securities dealers”) are required to be registered with the Commission in accordance with such rules as the Commission may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors. Under Section 15B(c) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-4(c)), any registered municipal securities dealer may, upon such terms and conditions as the Commission may deem necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors, withdraw from registration by filing a written notice of withdrawal with the Commission. Rule 15Ba2-1 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-1) provides that an application for registration by a bank municipal securities dealer must be filed on Form MSD (17 CFR 249.1100). Rule 15Ba2-1 further provides that if the information contained in any application for registration on Form MSD, or in any amendment to such application, is or becomes inaccurate for any reason, the applicant must promptly file an amendment on Form MSD correcting such information. Rule 15Ba2-4 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-4) permits the successor to a registered municipal securities dealer to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of the predecessor’s business provided certain requirements are met, including the filing of a successor application on Form MSD. Rule 15Bc3-1 (17 CFR 240.15Bc3-1) provides that bank municipal securities dealers that wish to withdraw from registration must file a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form MSDW (17 CFR 249.1110). Rule 15Bc3-1 further provides that, prior to filing a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form MSDW, a bank municipal securities dealer must amend Form MSD in accordance with Rule 15Ba2-1(b) to update any inaccurate information. Rule 15Ba2-5 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-5) permits a duly appointed (or duly qualified) fiduciary to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of a registered municipal securities dealer’s business. Under the rule, the registration of a municipal securities dealer is deemed to be the registration of any fiduciary, appointed or qualified by order, judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction to continue the business of such municipal securities dealer, provided that such fiduciary files with the Commission, within 30 days after entering upon the performance of his duties, a statement setting forth as to such fiduciary substantially the same information required by Form MSD or Form BD (“Rule 15Ba2-5 Statement”). The Commission uses the information obtained from Form MSD, Form MSDW, and Rule 15Ba2-5 Statement filings to, among other things, determine whether bank municipal securities dealers, their Rule 15Ba2-4 successors, and their Rule 15Ba2-5 fiduciaries meet the standards for registration set forth in the Exchange Act, and whether it is in the public interest to permit a bank municipal securities dealer to withdraw its registration. Certain provisions of Rule 15Ba2-4 and Rule 15Bc3-1 apply to non-bank municipal securities dealers which make registration filings on the standard forms for brokers and dealers (Form BD instead of Form MSD, and Form BDW instead of Form MSDW). Burden estimates for such non-bank municipal securities dealers are accounted for in the Supporting Statements for Form BD (OMB Control No. 3235-0012) and Form BDW (OMB Control No. 3235-0018) and are not included herein.

Recordkeeping Provisions Associated with the Interagency Statement on Complex Structured Finance Activities

Key Information

Abstract

This interagency guidance states that certain financial institutions should establish and maintain written policies and procedures for identifying, evaluating, assessing, documenting, and controlling risks associated with complex structured finance transactions (CSFTs) and should retain certain documents related to elevated risk CSFTs, which are a subcategory of CSFTs. The FR 4022 covers these information collections for financial institutions that are subject to the Statement and that are supervised by the Board, which are state member banks, bank holding companies (other than foreign banking organizations), savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs), and U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks.

Domestic Finance Company Report of Consolidated Assets and Liabilities

Key Information

Abstract

The voluntary FR 2248 is collected monthly as of the last calendar day of the month from a stratified sample of finance companies. Each monthly report collects balance sheet data on major categories of consumer and business credit receivables and on major short-term liabilities. For quarter-end months (March, June, September, and December), additional asset and liability items are collected to provide a full balance sheet. A supplemental section collects data on securitized assets. Board staff may ask either quantitative or qualitative questions through the use of a special addendum section no more than twice per year. The data are used to construct universe estimates of finance company holdings, which are published in the monthly statistical releases Finance Companies (G.20) and Consumer Credit (G.19), and in the quarterly statistical release Financial Accounts of the United States (Z.1).
