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.

Information Collections contained in Modernizing Reactor Licensing, Safety, Oversight, and Siting Practices- Proposed Rule 10 CFR Parts 50, 52, 53, 54, 71, 100, and Section 50.55a

Key Information

Abstract

PROPOSED RULE: Information collections contained in Modernizing Reactor Licensing, Safety, Oversight, and Siting Practices- Proposed Rule 10 CFR Parts 50, 52, 53, 54, 71, 100, and Section 50.55a The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to modernize reactor licensing, safety oversight, and siting practices. The proposed rule introduces voluntary risk-informed and performance-based alternatives, updates EP requirements, streamlines quality assurance criteria through a new appendix T to 10 CFR part 50, and revises siting criteria to incorporate risk insights. These changes affect information collections associated with license applications, license amendment requests, periodic reporting, and recordkeeping. New collections include ECCS evaluation model reporting and monitoring under 10 CFR 50.46a, QMS change approvals under 10 CFR 50.54(a)(5), 50.55(f)(5), and 53.1565, and EP framework transition requests under 10 CFR 50.160. The proposed rule also reduces burden by eliminating duplicative requirements, such as prescriptive EP content in CP applications and ESP renewal provisions, and by simplifying seismic/geologic siting criteria under 10 CFR part 100. Overall, the proposed rule results in a net increase in burden due to additional technical analyses and documentation required for voluntary alternatives, balanced by targeted reductions from modernization and streamlining initiatives. This proposed action includes amendments to several requirements in 10 CFR Section 50.55a and parts 50, 52, 53, 54, 71, and 100. The proposed changes to 10 CFR parts 2 and 51 do not contain any new or amended collections of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This proposed rule is part of the NRC’s rulemaking efforts under EO 14300. Although the rule affects existing information collections, the current submission requests a new, temporary clearance number. After the final rule is published, the associated burden will be transferred to their respective existing clearance numbers and this clearance will be discontinued. NOTE: Because this rule results in a net burden reduction, the data fields in the submission reflect a nominal entry of 1 hour and 1 response. Please refer to the supporting statement and burden tables for the actual burden estimates.

Incidental Take of Marine Mammals During Specified Activities, 50 CFR 18.27 and 50 CFR Part 18, Subpart N

Key Information

Abstract

The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) imposed, with certain exceptions, a moratorium on the taking of marine mammals. Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA directs the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to allow, upon request by citizens of the United States, the taking of small numbers of marine mammals incidental to specified activities (other than commercial fishing) if the Secretary makes certain findings and prescribes specific regulations that, among other things, establish permissible methods of taking. Once the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or we) issue specific regulations, applicants seeking to conduct activities must request a Letter of Authorization (LOA) for the specific activity and submit onsite monitoring reports and a final report of the activity to the Secretary.

Horseshoe Crab and Cooperative Fish Tagging Programs

Key Information

Abstract

Fish tagging programs housed at the Maryland Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (MDFWCO) have been ongoing since 1985, when the office was first established. The main purpose for establishment was to manage the striped bass cooperative tagging program. This was part of a cooperative effort among federal, state and non-governmental agencies to restore and maintain a sustainable striped bass fishery along the Atlantic coast. Today, tagging programs are still needed to provide essential data for stock assessments to maintain ongoing commercial and recreational striped bass fisheries worth millions of dollars. Many other tagging programs are now managed by MDFWCO. All tagging programs are conducted in partnership with state agencies, universities, NGOs and/or private sector partners. The Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon tagging program was started in 1992. Both sturgeon species managed in the tagging program are listed as endangered species and data is used in stock assessments to help determine population status. Horseshoe crab tagging began in 1999 and has provided information on the distribution, migration, and mortality of crabs. Horseshoe crabs are ecologically important for migratory shorebirds, have a vital role within commercial fishing, the biomedical industry, and ecologically. Another tagging program for the northern snakehead, an invasive species, began in 2009. Tagging was done in order to better inform management agencies in charge of controlling snakehead populations. Information gained from tagging has helped state and federal agencies determine movement and growth rates, and abundance of snakehead within certain areas, all of which as increased effectiveness of control efforts.

Grants to States Program “State Reporting System

Key Information

Abstract

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) requests a three-year renewal of the State Program Report (SPR) system for the Grants to States (G2S) Program under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). This information collection supports the agency’s work to monitor its largest grant program, which distributes approximately $180 million every year to State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAAs) using a population-based formula. Under 20 U.S.C. § 9134, each SLAA is required to submit a plan that details library services goals for a five-year period, along with associated certifications. Pursuant to 20 U.S.C. § 9134 (c), each SLAA that receives an IMLS grant under the G2S program is required to evaluate and report on all funded project activities to IMLS, prior to the end of the execution of its five-year plan. Each SLAA receives IMLS funding to support activities for the five-year period through a series of overlapping two-year grant awards. Each SLAA must file interim and final financial reports, and final performance reports for each of these two-year grants through IMLS’s SPR system. The performance reports incorporate performance measures to track participants’ outcomes when attribution claims are defensible based on a combination of the project’s activity mode and beneficiary type. The embedded Site Visit Checklist is an administrative requirement to ensure the program is fulfilling its monitoring and compliance responsibilities for these multi-million-dollar grants. The SPR forms and materials were last approved by OMB on 9/22/2022 and are being submitted with minor updates.

Key Information

Abstract

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) requests approval of a renewal of the three-year clearance for the agency’s information collection requests for the Guidelines for IMLS Grants to States Five-Year Evaluation under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Each State Library Administrative Agency (SLAA) is required, under 20 U.S.C. § 9101 et seq. (in particular 20 U.S.C. § 9134), to submit a plan that details library services goals for a five-year period, along with associated certifications. IMLS authorizing legislation (20 U.S.C. § 9134) directs SLAAs to “independently evaluate, and report to the Director regarding, the activities assisted under this subchapter, prior to the end of the Five-Year Plan.” This evaluation provides SLAAs an opportunity to measure progress toward meeting the goals set forth in their approved Five-Year Plans, along with a framework to synthesize information across all state reports to facilitate telling a national story. These guidelines were last approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 2022 and received a three-year extension of the expiration date to November 30, 2025. We are submitting them for renewal now with minor updates intended to increase efficiencies of the data collection and minimize confusion around reporting requirements. These changes are based on feedback from SLAAs and their independent evaluators received during the most recent evaluation reporting submissions.

Limited Excepted Fertility Benefits

Key Information

Abstract

On February 18, 2025, Executive Order 14216 was issued to ensure reliable access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and provide more affordable treatment options, recognizing both the medical necessity of infertility treatment for affected individuals and the broader importance of supporting American families in achieving their reproductive goals. This proposed rule would implement that approach by recognizing limited fertility benefits as “other similar, limited benefits” specified in regulations. Under the proposal, limited fertility benefits would include benefits substantially all of which are for the diagnosis, mitigation, or treatment of infertility or infertility-related reproductive health conditions by medical professionals authorized to practice under applicable law, including evidence-based items or services targeted to address such conditions. In the group market, such benefits would be excepted only if they are provided under a separate policy, certificate, or contract of insurance or are otherwise not an integral part of the plan, satisfy a lifetime dollar limit of $120,000 as adjusted for medical inflation, and are accompanied by a written notice to participants and beneficiaries. The notice would describe the coverage, including benefits and limitations, explain how to identify and use network providers if applicable, and explain how to submit claims for reimbursement. The Department of Health and Human Services also proposes to amend the individual market excepted benefits regulations to recognize limited fertility benefits as limited excepted benefits in the individual market if they are offered under a separate policy, certificate, or contract of insurance and satisfy the scope, lifetime dollar limit, and notice requirements. The proposed rule is intended to provide employers and issuers with additional flexibility to offer standalone fertility-related coverage, including coverage for services such as diagnostic testing, infertility treatment, and IVF, while reducing regulatory burden and promoting access to fertility benefits.

Notice Requirements for Fertility Excepted Benefits (CMS-10947)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 2791(c)(2) of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), section 733(c)(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and section 9832(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) establishing four statutory categories of "excepted benefits" that are generally exempt from the health reform requirements added to those laws by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the No Surprises Act, and certain other federal laws specifically related to group health plans and group and individual health insurance coverage. On February 18, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14216, "Expanding Access to In Vitro Fertilization," which instructs the Departments to provide support, awareness, and access to affordable fertility treatments, including reliable access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, by easing unnecessary statutory or regulatory burdens to make IVF treatment drastically more affordable. In the proposed rule "Excepted Fertility Benefits" (the proposed rule), the Departments propose to add new paragraph (c)(3)(ix) of 26 CFR 54.9831-1 and 29 CFR 2590.732, and new paragraph (b)(3)(ix) of 45 CFR 146.145 to establish fertility benefits as a new category of limited excepted benefits. The proposed rule would require that plans or issuers offering excepted fertility benefits provide written notice to plan participants and beneficiaries that includes a description of the coverage, including a summary of benefits and limitations of the coverage, including the lifetime dollar limit established by the plan or issuer that complies with the maximum lifetime dollar limit described in proposed paragraph (c)(3)(ix)(B) (or paragraph (b)(3)(ix)(B), as applicable),information on how to identify and utilize a network provider, if applicable, and how to submit a claim for reimbursement, including whether the benefit utilizes the same claims procedure as for the sponsor’s other group health plans. This notice requirement ensures that participants and beneficiaries are fully informed about the availability and requirements of their excepted fertility benefits coverage.

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and implementing regulations at 42 CFR, Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations and Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) sponsors are required to submit annual medical loss ratio (MLR) reports (at the contract level) to the Secretary of HHS concerning the amount spent on claims, quality improvement expenses, non-claims costs, Federal and State taxes, licensing and regulatory fees, and revenue. Plan sponsors must provide a remittance to the Secretary if the amount spent in a reporting year on certain costs compared to its revenue (excluding Federal and States taxes and licensing and regulatory fees) is below a certain ratio, referred to as the medical loss ratio (MLR). MA organizations and Part D sponsors are required to report their MLR to CMS, and are subject to financial and other penalties for a failure to meet a statutory requirement that they have an MLR of at least 85 percent. The Affordable Care Act requires several levels of sanctions for failure to meet the 85 percent minimum MLR requirement, including remittance of funds to CMS, a prohibition on enrolling new members, and ultimately contract termination. Plan sponsors will use the MLR Reporting Tool to provide contract-level MLR information to CMS. The information provided in this MLR Report is the basis for computing the contract's MLR percentage and remittance amount, if any, for a contract year.

CMS Meeting Request Public Portal (CMS-10943)

Key Information

Abstract

The information will be collected solely from organizations and third-party requestors, such as law firms or other entities acting on behalf of organizations, that seek a meeting with the Administrator. The implementation of an online portal will facilitate the ease and efficiency of submitting requests. Requestors will have the capability to securely enter their requests electronically through this portal. Information collection is voluntary, whether or not it is provided through the portal or via a letter, but no matter how it is submitted to CMS, failure to provide the requested information will result in CMS’s inability to review, process, and/or act on the request. The data collected via the portal will be used by CMS to adjudicate meeting requests. The uses for this data are limited to the following administrative purposes: disposition of meeting (deciding whether or not to accept, delegate, or decline the meeting request), managing meeting logistics and scheduling coordination; gathering basic organizational information for preparation; conducting conflict of interest and ethics screening when necessary; and performing follow-up activities for accountability. CMS does not require organizations to submit information beyond what is essential. All data collected are subject to privacy and confidentiality requirements and serve legitimate governmental purposes. Requestors will be assigned a confirmation number for their request when they submit it. They will also receive an acknowledgement email corresponding to their request that confirms that CMS received their submission.
