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.
Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify, or discontinue 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.
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.

Form I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record) and Form I-94W (Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Arrival/Departure) are used to document a traveler's admission into the United States. These forms include date of arrival, visa classification and the date the authorized stay expires. The forms are also used by business employers and other organizations to confirm legal status in the United States. The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) applies to aliens traveling to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and requires that VWP travelers provide information electronically to CBP before embarking on travel to the United States.Emergency Justfication:CBP is implementing a new capability within the CBP GO mobile application, or any successor mobile application, to allow aliens who are subject to I-94 requirements, and who are departing the United States, to voluntarily provide biographic data, facial images, and geolocation to provide evidence of that departure. This collection is a part of CBP’s critical efforts in fulfilling DHS’s statutory mandate to collect biometric information from departing aliens and CBP’s plans to fully automate I-94 information collection.2 This capability will close the information gap on alien entries and exits by making it easier for aliens subject to I-94 requirements to report their exit to CBP after their departures from the United States. It will also create a biometrically confirmed, and geolocation confirmed, and thereby more accurate, exit record for such aliens leaving the United States. Aliens subject to I-94 requirements may use the application to voluntarily submit their biographic information from their passports, or other travel documents after they have exited the United States. |

The enhanced Leads and Applications System (eLAS) and iAppointment
Key Information
Abstract
SSA offers both Internet and telephone appointment options for individuals who wish to request an appointment when they are unable to complete one of SSA’s online or automated telephone applications because they failed the initial verification checks, or because they state their reading language preference is other than English. iAppointment: iAppointment is an online process that allows members of the public an easy-to-use method to schedule an appointment with the servicing office of their choice. Since the application date can affect when a claimant’s benefit begins, iAppointment establishes a protective filing date and provides respondents information related to the date by which they must file their actual application. The iAppointment application propagates information the applicant already entered onto any of SSA’s Internet applications for SSN, name, date of birth, and gender. Applicants must provide minimal additional information: mailing address; telephone number; language preference; type of appointment (Disability, Retirement, Medicare); and whether they prefer a telephone interview or in-office appointment. iAppointment is a customer-centric application. If the available appointment times do not meet the customer’s needs, iAppointment allows the user to enter a different zip code to identify another field office, which may offer different appointment times. At this time, SSA only allows domestic first party applicants to use iAppointment. If users indicate they are filing as third parties, iAppointment provides a message directing them to call the National 800 Number for assistance. If a foreign first party user is unable to complete iClaim, iAppointment directs them to contact a Social Security representative, and provides a link to SSA’s Service Around the World website. Enhanced Leads and Appointment System (eLAS): eLAS is an Intranet-based version of the iAppointment screens for use by SSA technicians in both the field offices and call centers. eLAS interacts with iAppointment to ensure we always record the same information whether an individual requests an appointment through our Internet screens or via telephone. eLAS is a non-public facing system that allows SSA employees in the field offices, workload support units, and teleservice centers to use an telephone interview process to schedule appointments and document an individual’s intent to file using a script and asking the same questions to each individual. We use eLAS with individuals who use our automated telephone system or who prefer not to use iAppointment to set up their appointment. The respondents are individuals who are unable to use our Internet or automated telephone systems because they failed the initial verification checks; or because they state their reading language preference is other than English. We are making a non-substantive change to replace the term “gender” with “sex”. |
