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 September 22, 2026.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Limits on Application of Take Prohibitions

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for revision and extension. This collection is being revised to remove the burden for Limit 14 and all references to Limit 14 in the tables for Questions 12 and 13, as there are only 13 Limits. NOAA reviewed the regulations and reporting requirements and determined this was an administrative error from the previous renewal. A merger of the Southwest and Northwest Regions prompted a comprehensive reassessment of how the 4(d) rules were used. The Northwest Region maintains this collection and did not previously include the Southwest Region in the assessment. Initially, only three ICs were listed: 1) research and other applications, 2) annual reports, and 3) reports of aided/rescued salmon. However, these ICs were not aggregated correctly and excluded the Southwest Region. Consequently, in 2023 the three initial ICs were removed and replaced with more comprehensive ICs, which resulted in the erroneous mentions of Limit 14. Section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq.) requires the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to adopt such regulations as it ‘‘deems necessary and advisable to provide for the conservation of threatened species. Those regulations may include any or all of the prohibitions provided in section 9(a)(1) of the ESA, which specifically prohibits ‘‘take’’ of any endangered species (‘‘take’’ includes actions that harass, harm, pursue, kill, or capture). On July 10, 2000, NMFS adopted rules prohibiting the take of 14 groups of salmon and steelhead listed as threatened under the ESA (65 FR 42422, 50 CFR 223.203). On June 28, 2005, January 5, 2006, February 11, 2008, and September 25, 2008, NMFS issued final listing determinations and protective regulations for 26 threatened and endangered salmon and steelhead species (70 FR 37160, 71 FR 834, 73 FR 7816, 73 FR 55451). The protective regulations extended the 4(d) rule to all 23 threatened salmonid species.

Updates to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NDPES) Definitions and Exclusions (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

This Information Collection Request covers the burden associated with EPA’s proposed rule to update the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) definitions and exclusions. The proposal would revise the regulatory definition of “discharge of a pollutant” to align with the Clean Water Act’s (CWA) definition of “discharge of a pollutant” or “discharge.” The regulatory definition would be updated to reflect the statutory exclusion of vessels and other floating craft that add pollutants in the contiguous zone or the ocean from NPDES program requirements. The proposed rule would also make conforming and clarifying changes to the NPDES regulatory exclusion for vessels and other floating craft. The result of the proposed rule, if finalized, would be that the addition of pollutants by a vessel or other floating craft in the contiguous zone or the ocean that is not secured to the seabed would not be a discharge and would not require NPDES permit authorization.

Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) Program

Key Information

Abstract

The Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) Competitive Grant Program, administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), requires an information collection that is categorized as required to obtain benefit during the application phase and mandatory for recipients to retain their funding. This program provides up to $120 million for Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026 to projects that deploy advanced technologies to improve safety, mobility, and system performance. While responding to the initial collection is voluntary, failing to submit the required application templates and data projections renders a submission incomplete and ineligible for evaluation. Eligible entities, including State or local governments, transit agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, and multijurisdictional groups or research consortiums, must provide specific disclosures during the application process. These disclosures include reporting on lobbying activities via Standard Form LLL, identifying potential conflicts of interest regarding private sector beneficiaries, and detailing any open litigation or environmental controversies that could delay project delivery. Additionally, all applicants must submit comprehensive plans for long-term operations and maintenance, as well as strategies for partnering with the private sector and leveraging existing regional technology investments. For those selected to receive grant funding, the reporting obligations become mandatory and follow a prescribed quarterly and annual frequency. Recipients must submit quarterly progress reports to monitor project status and quarterly Federal Financial Reports (SF-425) to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of federal funds. Furthermore, awardees are required by law to submit a Section 508-compliant Annual Performance Public Report starting no later than one year after the grant award for public posting by the FHWA, which must include the information required by 23 U.S.C. 503(c)(4)(F). Performance measure data must also be collected and analyzed annually to track quantifiable improvements in system efficiency and safety. All awardees are subject to strict recordkeeping requirements under 2 CFR Part 200, which includes maintaining documentation of technical feasibility, financial stability, and audit-ready project records. The Department of Transportation (DOT) and FHWA are the primary recipients of this information, though the general public receives data through the published annual reports. The ultimate purpose of this collection is to enable the DOT to evaluate the merit of applications, monitor the performance of deployed technologies, and fulfill its oversight responsibilities while tracking regional transportation improvements.

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is proposing a new information collection consisting of a single, one-time experimental research study that involves voluntary participation from members of the public. Participants must have experience using either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay with in-vehicle infotainment systems. The collection consists of experimental data reporting and survey responses. Data collected will include eye tracking measurements, vehicle performance metrics, task completion times, error rates, participant demographics, and responses to questionnaires about interface usage and acceptance. The purpose of this research is to evaluate how safely drivers can interact with smartphone integration systems that allow access to smartphone applications through the vehicle's built-in display screen. The research consists of two parts. Part I consists of an evaluation method called an "occlusion study" at Westat facilities in the Washington D.C. area. In this part, 24 participants per system (across up to 3 vehicles, for a total of up to 56 participants) will perform 6-9 standardized tasks while wearing special electronic goggles. These goggles automatically switch between clear and blocked views every 1.5 seconds, simulating how drivers normally shift their gaze between looking at the road and looking at the vehicle's displays. Before testing, participants will receive thorough training on each task. They will then perform each task five times while wearing the goggles per the testing procedures outlined in the NHTSA visual-manual distraction guidelines. Researchers will measure how long participants need to see the display to complete each task (called "Total Shutter Open Time" or TSOT), document any mistakes made during the tasks, record how participants recover from these mistakes, and gather feedback about whether the tasks are reasonable to perform while driving. Participants will be provided a $120 honorarium upon completion of Part I. Part II consists of a closed-course track (CCT) evaluation conducted at Utah Motorsports Campus near Salt Lake City with 72 participants. Due to the cost of missing a study session, participants will be overbooked for each study session, meaning that two participants will be invited to the same study session but only one participant will complete the study. Both will be compensated the same rate ($120). The reason for using the overbooking strategy is because the cost of recruiting more participants is much less expensive than the cost of missing one session on the closed course track. This part will examine a subset of the tasks from Part I in actual driving conditions on a 0.84-mile stretch on a closed course tack (CCT). Participants will drive specially equipped vehicles while performing the interface tasks. Researchers will collect several types of data: where drivers look while driving (using eye tracking equipment), how well they control the vehicle (measuring lane position, speed, and steering movements), how quickly they respond to simple tasks while driving (using a standardized "Detection Response Task" where drivers press a button in response to a signal), how quickly they react to important events, how long it takes to complete tasks, and how many mistakes they make. Each participant will complete multiple drives to test different aspects of the interfaces. For both parts, participants will complete questionnaires about their background, driving experience, and familiarity with these interfaces. The collected data will be analyzed to evaluate whether these interfaces meet NHTSA's guidelines for minimizing driver distraction and to assess their effects on driving safety. The findings will help inform future safety guidelines and policy decisions regarding in-vehicle portable device interfaces.

Abstract

Proposed §156.230(e)(1) would require that QHP issuers make a good faith effort to provide written notice of discontinuation of a provider 30 days prior to the effective date of the change or otherwise as soon as practicable, to enrollees who are patients seen on a regular basis by the provider or who receive primary care from the provider whose contract is discontinuing. This is a third-party disclosure requirement. CMS is not proposing to collect this notice from QHP issuers in FFMs, therefore we are not specifying ways in which we will use the data. The purpose of this notice is to provide consumers information on when their providers will no longer be available in-network in their QHP. In proposed 156.230(f)(2), we require QHP issuers to provide a notice to enrollees of the possibility of out-of-network charges from an out-of-network provider in an in-network setting at least 10 calendar days prior to the service being provided to avoid counting the out-of-network costs against to the annual limitation on cost sharing.

The NPS Office of Public Health (OPH) uses the “Disease Reporting and Surveillance System” (DRSS) to enhance surveillance, estimate the burden of illnesses, and improve knowledge about where these outbreaks were occurring within the park. DRSS documents concessionaire employees’ illnesses as well as illnesses occurring on tour buses through an online, real-time reporting system that allows concession management, the park, and the OPH to detect an increase in illness reports that may suggest the beginning of an outbreak. By identifying and responding early to small increases in illness reports, the park is able to be proactive in preventing larger, more extensive outbreaks.

Key Information

Abstract

To date, there is no single, standalone standard form for requesting TANF contingency funds; instead, ACF has provided a recommended letter of request template within official guidance to outline provisional payment and certification information including the signature of the state’s Governor or authorized designee. The information collection standardizes the mechanism through which the 50 states and the District of Columbia request provisional payments on a monthly basis. Authority to distribute provisional payments based on receipt of state requests for contingency funds is contained in section 403 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 603(b)(3), as amended by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-193, 110 Stat. 2105. When Congress established Grants to States, it codified the “Contingency Fund for State Welfare Programs” at §403(b) of the Social Security Act (the Act), and clarified the prerequisite of state request by stating that that provisional payments shall be paid to “an eligible State [which] submits to the Secretary a request for funds under this paragraph during an eligible month.” 42.

Arts Basic Survey

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for clearance to conduct the 2027 Arts Basic Survey (ABS) (formally titled Annual Arts Benchmarking Survey, and Annual Arts Basic Survey). This survey will be conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau as a supplement to the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s Current Population Survey. The ABS will be conducted in February 2027 and serves as a supplement when the National Endowment for the Arts’ (NEA) Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) is not conducted. To date, the ABS was conducted seven times from 2013 to 2025. One of the strengths of the ABS is that it will complement and supplement the information collected in the SPPA. The SPPA is the field’s premiere repeated cross-sectional survey of individual attendance and involvement in arts and cultural activities, and is conducted approximately every five years. The ABS is much shorter than the SPPA, consisting of 12 to 14 questions per module that will be used to track arts participation over time. As with the SPPA, the ABS data will be circulated to interested researchers and will be the basis for a range of NEA reports and independent research publications. Reports on these data will be made publicly available on the NEA’s website or NEA-designated websites. The ABS will provide primary knowledge on the extent and nature of participation in the arts in the United States.

Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection
Pilot Certification and Qualification Requirements for Air Carrier Operations

Key Information

Abstract

The FAA is requesting a reinstatement of this collection, which regrettably lapsed in December 2025 after an improperly submitted emergency extension request. This collection has since been transferred to the General Aviation and Commercial Division of the Flight Standards Service. Although additional detail is being provided in this submission, there is no change to what reporting and recordkeeping information is being collected or how it is being used by the FAA. There are two distinct collections described here. First, Training providers that want to and are eligible to deliver the Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certification Training Program (CTP) submit a course for approval. This includes curriculum information, training resources, flight simulation training devices and other training aids to be used, instructor training information, and course and testing materials. FAA aviation safety inspectors review all of the information to determine if the program complies with the applicable requirements of 14 CFR 61.156. The programs that comply with the minimum requirements receive approval and are issued an operation specification (OpSpec), training specification (TSpec), or letter of authorization (LOA), as appropriate to the applicant, to begin offering the course for applicants that seek an ATP certificate with a multiengine class rating. The OpSpecs and TSpecs are tracked in the FAA’s Web-Based Operations Safety System (WebOPSS) so principal inspectors can manage what their certificate holder is authorized to train. Principal inspectors of pilot schools also track LOAs issued to their certificate holder. Continuing to allow training providers to seek approval for the ATP CTP is necessary because this specific course of training is required for all pilot applicants seeing a multiengine ATP certificate. This is a one-time submission for initial course approval. Any program revisions are accomplished through the existing course revision processes and do not apply to this collection. Second, institutions of higher education that seek the authority to certify its graduates meet the minimum requirements of 14 CFR 61.160 will submit an application for approval. The collection requires the applicant to provide its pilot school certificate number as well as the pilot school certificate number that is being contracted to perform flight training. The application also requires aviation degree and course information to enable a determination for what meets the requirements of 14 CFR 61.160. The applications are received and reviewed by an FAA aviation safety inspector. If the application meets the requirements, the institutions of higher education receive a LOA for its degree program(s) and are then authorized to place a certifying statement on the transcripts of eligible graduates indicating he or she is eligible for a restricted privileges ATP certificate. This information is collected on occasion. There is a one-time submission for authorization. Additional submissions are only required if there are significant changes in the program or the institution of higher education seeks to add eligible courses or degree programs to its authorization.

Prospective Payments for Hospital Outpatient Services and Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR 413.65 (CMS-R-240)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 413.65(b)(3) states that a provider which is seeking a determination of provider-based status for a facility not located on the provider's campus must submit an attestation of compliance with applicable provider-based requirements and must supply documentation supporting its attestation at the time the attestation is made. Section 413.65(a)(1)(ii) establishes a listing of specific facilities for which determinations for provider-based status for payment purposes are not made. services. . In addition, section 1866(b)(2) of the Act authorizes hospitals and other providers to impose deductible and coinsurance charges for facility services, but does not allow such charges by facilities or organizations which are not provider-based. Implementation of this provision requires that CMS have information from the required reports, so it can determine which facilities are provider-based. Section 6225 of the CAA requires that, as a condition of receiving payment under the OPPS as of January 1, 2028, an off-campus department of a provider obtain and bill under a separate NPI and that the main provider must submit a provider-based status attestation that the off-campus outpatient department is compliant with the requirements for such departments.
