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.

Office on Violence Against Women Grant Program Notice of Funding Opportunity Template

Key Information

Abstract

OVW developed a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) template and an accompanying Application Guide to assist potential grantees in applying for current OVW programs and related funding opportunities. The NOFO template ensures that all applicants to OVW grant programs and related funding opportunities will be asked to provide uniform information in a consistent manner. OVW developed a NOFO template and an accompanying Application Companion Guide to assist potential applicants with applying to OVW grant programs. The NOFO template ensures that all applicants to OVW grant programs will be asked to provide uniform information in a consistent manner. The information addressed in the NOFO template includes: Application for Federal Assistance; Proposal Abstract; Pre-Award Risk Assessment; Summary Data Sheet; Proposal Narrative; Budget Detail Worksheet and Narrative; Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (if applicable); Disclosure of Process Related to Executive Compensation (if applicable); Memorandum of Understanding; Certification Regarding Compliance with Federal Immigration Law (if applicable); Letter of Nonsupplanting; Confidentiality Notice Form; Disclosure of lobbying Activities (if applicable); Summary of Other Federal Funding (if applicable); Delivery of Legal Assistance Certification (if applicable); and other Program-Specific Items. Each NOFO will then be tailored to address the specific OVW grant program so that identification of eligible applicants, availability of funds, award period, award amount, program scope, other program eligibility requirements; out-of -scope activities, and unallowable costs will be consistent with the statutory requirements and funding amounts authorized for each particular grant program or funding opportunity.

Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Annual Report

Key Information

Abstract

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Act (42 U.S.C. § 9901, et seq.) was established under the Community Opportunities, Accountability, and Training and Educational Services Act of 1998, Public Law 105-285. The Office of Community Services (OCS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) administers CSBG at the federal level. CSBG provides funds to states and other entities to support services and activities that alleviate the causes and conditions of poverty in communities. Section 678E of the CSBG Act requires states, including the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories, to annually prepare and submit a report on the measured performance of the state and the eligible entities in the state. Prior to the participation of the state in the performance measurement system, the state shall include in the report any information collected by the state relating to such performance. Each state shall also include in the report an accounting of the expenditure of funds received by the state through the CSBG program, including an accounting of funds spent on administrative costs by the state and the eligible entities, and funds spent by the eligible entities on the direct delivery of local services, and shall include information on the number of and characteristics of clients served under the subtitle in the state, based on data collected from the eligible entities. The state shall also include in the report a summary describing the training and technical assistance offered by the state. Section 3(b) of the Government Performance and Results (GPRA) Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) requires OCS, as an office under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to collect performance information for the CSBG. In alignment with the Executive Orders, Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions, and Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government the Office of Community Services is requesting a change request to remove language related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and update gender collected data to denote sex as a biological variable in current approved information collection requests to comply with the directives.

Abstract

Section 658K of the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act (42 U.S.C. 9858, as amended by Public Law 113-186) requires that states and territories submit monthly case-level data on the children and families receiving direct services under the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). The implementing regulations for the statutorily required reporting are at 45 CFR 98.70 and 98.71. Case-level reports, submitted quarterly or monthly (at grantee option), include monthly sample or full population case-level data. The data elements to be included in these reports are represented in the ACF-801. The Office of Child Care (OCC), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) uses disaggregate data to determine program and participant characteristics as well as costs and levels of child care services provided. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Data Reports: Demographic and Service Utilization, Grantee Performance Measures and Quarterly Performance Reports

Key Information

Abstract

Section 511 Title V of the Social Security Act created the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program and authorized the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to award grants to Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations. The most recent reauthorization of the MIECHV program set aside 6 percent of the total MIECHV program appropriation for grants to tribal entities and indicates that the Tribal MIECHV grants, to the greatest extent practicable, be consistent with the requirements of the MIECHV grants to states and territories and include conducting a needs assessment and establishing benchmarks. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Assessing the Use of Coaching to Promote Positive Caregiver-Child Interactions in Early Childhood Home Visiting Through Rapid Cycle Learning

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is part of the Assessing and Describing Practice Transitions Among Evidence-Based Home Visiting Programs in Response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Study, which aims to identify and study practices implemented in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency that support evidence-based practice and have the potential to enhance home visiting programming. One of the practices the study identified is the use of coaching to promote caregiver-child interactions and positive caregiving skills. Coaching involves a home visitor providing instructions to the parent or caregiver as they carry out the skill and differs from a common home visiting strategy, modeling, in which home visitors first demonstrate a skill themselves before asking the parent or caregiver to try it. The purpose of this information collection is to better understand, through rapid cycle learning, how MIECHV-funded home visiting programs can implement coaching strategies during home visits.

The forms are effective tools to ensure VITA volunteers consistently collect personal information from each taxpayer to assure the tax returns are prepared accurately and avoid erroneous returns. These forms are critical to continued improvements in the accuracy of volunteer-prepared returns for taxpayers utilizing the VITA program. Form 13614-C is used to assist VITA volunteers in preparing individual tax returns for citizens or residents of the United States. The IRS also provides multiple translations of Form 13614-C. Form 13614-NR is used to assist VITA volunteers in preparing individual tax returns for nonresident aliens.

Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS)

Key Information

Abstract

The FARS is a voluntary information collection of fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes. The FARS is in its forty-sixth year of operation and is a census of all defined crashes involving fatalities in the country. The FARS collects data from all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico under cooperative agreements. State employees extract and transcribe information from existing State files including police crash reports as well as driver license, vehicle registration, highway department, and vital statistics files. NHTSA aggregates the data for research and analysis in support of motor vehicle regulations and highway safety programs. This supports NHTSA’s mission to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes by providing the agency vital information about fatal crashes. The aggregated data comprises a national database that is NHTSA’s and many States’ principal means of tracking trends in fatalities and quantifying problems or potential problems in highway safety. The FARS data are used extensively by all the NHTSA program and research offices, other DOT modes, States, and local jurisdictions. The highway research community uses the FARS data for trend analysis, problem identification, and program evaluation. Congress uses the FARS data for making decisions concerning safety programs. The FARS data are also available upon request to anyone interested in highway safety. The annual burden has been adjusted from 106,244 to 107,209 hours (an increase of 965 hours) costs have decreased from $100,000 to $0 (a decrease of $100,000). The adjustment in burden hours is due to the increase in the complexity of coding the FARS cases and an increase in the number of fatal crashes across most States. The increase also accounts for the time to process the non-traffic fatalities for NTS. Furthermore, while time for manually inputting data has decreased with States implementing systems to electronically transfer police report data that prepopulate NHTSA’s data systems, including FARS, the overall burden increased because, over the past two years, there has been an increase in staff turnover at the State level, adding an increase in administrative hours, training, and coding assistance to continue operations. The decrease in costs is a result of removing labor costs associated with labor hours that were incorrectly included in our last ICR.

Ownership Report for Noncommercial Educational Broadcast Stations, FCC Form 323-E; Section 73.3615, Ownership Reports

Key Information

Abstract

On January 8, 2016, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, Second Report and Order, and Order on Reconsideration, FCC 16-1 (323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order). The 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order adopted changes to the ownership reporting requirements that are intended to further improve the ownership data collection. The 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order adopts a Restricted Use FRN within CORES that individuals may use solely for the purpose of broadcast ownership report filings. In light of the Commission’s adoption of the Restricted Use FRN, the 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order eliminates the availability of the interim Special Use FRN for broadcast station ownership reports, except in very limited circumstances. The 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order prescribes revisions to Form 323-E that conform the reporting requirements for noncommercial educational (NCE) broadcast stations more closely to those for commercial stations, including revisions to collect race, gender, and ethnicity information for attributable interest holders; require that CORES FRNs or Restricted Use FRNs be used; and conform the biennial filing deadline for NCE broadcast ownership reports with the biennial filing deadline for commercial station ownership reports. The 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order also makes a number of other improvements to the forms that are intended to reduce the filing burdens on broadcasters, streamline the filing process, and increase the quality and usability of the data submitted to the Commission. These changes include extending the biennial filing deadline, reducing the number of filings required, improving the reporting of other broadcast interests, and additional improvements. Please se the justification for this non-substantive change request submission to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval.

Abstract

The National Park Service (NPS) is authorized by the System Unit Resource Protection Act (54 U.S.C. 100721) to collect information that can be used to determine the economic value associated with the preservation (avoided loss) of individual members of a wildlife species population. The NPS Environmental Quality Division is requesting approval to conduct a survey to provide estimates of the full value of protecting individual animals from intentional or accidental loss. These value estimates are not currently available to the NPS and are necessary for park management decisions.

Abstract

The Public Lands Corps is a work and education program involving the nation’s land management agencies, conservation and service corps, and environmental organizations that contribute to the rehabilitation, restoration, and repair of public lands resources and infrastructures. Public Lands Corps projects provide opportunities for community and national public service, work experience and training for young people who are unemployed or underemployed persons, students, recent graduates, and others with an interest in natural and cultural resources careers. The Agency has developed a tracking sheet (FS-1800-0026, Workforce Development Participant Tracking Form) to support the effective management of the Public Lands Corps Program. The utilization of the Workforce Development Participant Tracking Form will assist the Agency in ensuring qualified program participants lawfully receive a certificate of non-competitive hiring eligibility,which can be used to apply to Forest Service merit announcements on USAJobs.
