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.

Intermittent Survey of Businesses
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
The survey data are used to gather information to enable the Federal Reserve System (System) to carry out its policy and operational responsibilities. Under the guidance of the Board, Reserve Banks survey business contacts as economic developments warrant. Usually, these voluntary surveys are conducted by telephoning or e-mailing purchasing managers, economists, or other knowledgeable individuals at selected, relevant businesses. Reserve Banks may also use online survey tools to collect responses to the survey. The frequency and content of the questions, as well as the entities contacted, vary depending on developments in the economy. These surveys are conducted to provide Board members and Reserve Bank presidents real-time insights into economic conditions. The Board tailors these survey questions to match current concerns and interests, but they are not meant to supplant the more rigorous, existing economic reporting. The Board collects individual responses from the Reserve Banks and then distributes aggregate information to Board members and Reserve Bank presidents. |

FMCSA Complaint Center
Key Information
Abstract
FMCSA is seeking approval of a revision of the “National Consumer Complaint Database (NCCDB)" ICR, also know as the "FMCSA Complaint Center" ICR. FMCSA is modernizing its NCCDB complaint system and expanding the program. The six current collection instruments are being combined in one, central collection that can accommodate a total of 12 complaint categories. FMCSA maintains online information and resources to assist consumers, drivers, and others associated with the motor carrier industry to file complaints regarding household goods carriers, third party intermediaries (brokers and freight forwarders) and their financial responsibility providers, hazardous material (HM) carriers, property carriers, cargo tank facilities, and passenger carriers. The respondents of the collection therefore are the public, consumers, drivers, and the motor carrier industry. The NCCDB allows the public and FMCSA staff to submit complaints using an online form which lists individual violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety, Hazardous Material, and Commercial Regulations. The collection is voluntary and is one of reporting and disclosure. The purpose of the collection is to collect data by this system for FMCSA enforcement staff and state agencies to, among other things: help improve motor carrier safety enforcement; improve consumer protection by ensuring that moving companies use fair business practices; and identify and address passenger carrier discrimination and service issues. There is no determined collection frequency, the information is collected as needed. Complainants may visit the NCCDB online at http://nccdb.fmcsa.dot.gov, where they will be guided through the process of filing a complaint. The information reported and disclosed is information concerning the incident(s) that lead to different types of complaints concerning truck safety, moving companies, brokers, violations of the American Disabilities Act, bus safety, bus service, cargo tank facilities, and/or hazardous materials regulations. The online interface then leads them through the process by soliciting information about the incident giving rise to the complaint, contact information for the complainant (for follow up purposes), and company information. They also have the ability to upload supporting files/documents if any exist. DOT receives the information. At the end of the process, each complaint is submitted to the NCCDB, where it is directed to the proper FMCSA or DOT office for investigation. |

Notice for Health Reimbursement Arrangements Integrated with Individual Health Insurance Coverage
Key Information
Abstract
On June 21, 2018, the Department published the Definition of Employer under Section 3(5) of ERISA—Association Health Plans final rule. On August 3, 2018, the Department of Labor, HHS and the Treasury Department (the Departments) published the Short-Term, Limited-Duration Insurance final rule. These final rules remove the prohibition on integrating health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) with individual health insurance coverage, if certain conditions are met. The final rules also set forth conditions under which certain HRAs are as limited excepted benefits. In addition, the Treasury Department and the IRS finalized rules regarding premium tax credit (PTC) eligibility for individuals offered coverage under an HRA integrated with individual health insurance coverage, and DOL finalized a safe harbor to provide HRA plan sponsors with assurance that the individual health insurance coverage that is integrated with an HRA would not become part of an ERISA plan if the conditions of the safe harbor are met. Finally, HHS finalized rules that provide a special enrollment period in the individual market for individuals who gain access to an HRA that is integrated with individual health insurance coverage or who are provided a qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement (QSEHRA). The following five information Collections are contained in the final rules: (1) Verification of Enrollment in Individual Coverage; (2) HRA Notice to Participants; (3) Notice to Participants that Individual Policy is not Subject to Title I of ERISA; (4) Participant Notification of Individual Coverage HRA of Cancelled or Discontinued Coverage; (5) Notice for Excepted Benefit HRAs. These information collections notify the HRA that participants are enrolled in individual health insurance coverage, help individuals understand the impact of enrolling in an HRA on their eligibility for the PTC, and help individuals understand that coverage is not subject to the rules and consumer protections of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). |

Patent Review and Derivation Proceedings
Key Information
Abstract
The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, which was enacted into law on September 16, 2011, provided for many changes to the procedures of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB” or “Board,” formerly the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences) procedures. These changes included the introduction of inter partes review, post-grant review, derivation proceedings, and the transitional program for covered business method patents. Under these administrative trial proceedings, third parties may file a petition with the PTAB challenging the validity of issued patents, with each proceeding having different requirements regarding timing restrictions, grounds for challenging validity, and who may request review. Inter partes review is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent only on a ground that could be raised under §§ 102 or 103, and only on the basis of prior art consisting of patents or printed publications. Post grant review is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent on any ground that could be raised under § 282(b)(2) or (3). A derivation proceeding is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to determine whether (1) an inventor named in an earlier application derived the claimed invention from an inventor named in the petitioner’s application, and (2) the earlier application claiming such invention was filed without authorization. The transitional program for covered business method patents is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a covered business method patent. The covered business method program expired on September 16, 2020 and the Board no longer accepts new petitions related to this program, but continues to accept papers in previously-instituted proceedings. This information collection covers information submitted by the public to petition the Board to initiate an inter partes review, post-grant review, derivation proceeding, and the transitional program for covered business method patents, as well as any responses to such petitions, and the filing of any motions, replies, oppositions, and other actions, after a review/proceeding has been instituted. |

The rules of origin for each of the following FTAs, Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR), United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement (CTPA), United States-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement (Panama TPA), and United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (Peru TPA), require that textile and apparel goods containing fibers, yarns, and fabrics produced in the FTA region receive preferential tariff treatment. Each Agreement also provides for the establishment of a list of specific fibers, yarns, and fabrics that are not available in commercial quantities in a timely manner from producers in the FTA region. Articles containing these commercially unavailable fibers, yarns, and fabrics may receive preferential duty treatment despite not being produced in the FTA region. The Agreements’ lists of commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns, and fibers may be changed pursuant to the Agreements’ commercial availability provisions and their respective implementation acts. Under the commercial availability provision, interested entities may request that a specific fiber, yarn, or fabric be added to, or removed from, the list of commercially unavailable fibers, yarns, and fabrics. Implementing legislation for each Agreement requires that the President establish procedures for parties to follow when making these requests. The President delegated the responsibility for publishing the procedures and administering commercial availability requests to the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (“CITA”), which issues procedures and acts on requests through the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Office of Textiles and Apparel (“OTEXA”). CITA has implemented procedures to collect information about the technical specifications of certain fibers, yarns, or fabrics and the production capabilities of U.S. and regional textile suppliers to determine whether certain fibers, yarns, or fabrics are available in commercial quantities in a timely manner in the FTA region, in accordance with the Agreements and their respective implementation acts. The procedures’ intent is to foster regional textile and apparel trade by allowing non-originating fibers, yarns, and fabrics to be placed on or removed from a list of items not available in commercial quantities, on a timely basis, and in a manner consistent with normal business practice. To that end, these procedures will facilitate the transmission of requests for commercial availability determinations and offers to supply the specified product(s); have the market indicate the specified products’ availability; make available promptly, to interested entities and parties, information regarding the requests and offers to supply; ensure wide participation by interested entities and parties; provide careful scrutiny of the information provided to substantiate requests and responses with offers to supply; and provide timely public dissemination of information used by CITA in making commercial availability determinations. |

Complaints Regarding Invention Promoters
Key Information
Abstract
Pursuant to the Inventors’ Rights Act of 1999, 35 U.S.C. 297, and implementing regulations at 37 CFR, Part 4, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is required to provide a form for the publication of complaints concerning invention promoters. Upon receipt of a complaint, the USPTO will forward it to the invention promoter for a response. The USPTO does not investigate these complaints or participate in any legal proceedings against invention promoters or invention promotion companies. Under the Inventors’ Rights Act, the USPTO is responsible only for publishing complaints and responses on the USPTO website, making them available to the public. A complaint submitted to the USPTO must be clearly marked, or otherwise identified, as a complaint. The complaint must include: (1) the name and address of the complainant; (2) the name and address of the invention promoter; (3) the name of the customer; (4) the invention promotion services offered or performed by the invention promoter; (5) the name of the mass media in which the invention promoter advertised such services; (6) an example of the relationship between the customer and the invention promoter; and (7) a signature of the complainant. Identifying information is necessary so that the USPTO can both forward the complaint to the invention promoters or invention promotion companies as well as notify the complainant that the complaint has been forwarded. Complainants should understand that the complaints will be forwarded to the invention promoter for response and that the complaint and response will be made available to the public as required by the Inventors’ Rights Act. If the USPTO does not receive a response from the invention promoter within 30 days, the complaint will be published without a response. Under this program, the USPTO does not accept complaints that request confidentiality. The USPTO may refer submitted complaints to the USPTO Office of Enrollment and Discipline, as appropriate. This information collection contains one form, PTO/2048A (Complaint Regarding Invention Promotion), which is used by the public to submit a complaint under this program. This form is available for download from the USPTO website. Use of this form is voluntary. Complainants may submit a complaint without the form as long as the complaint includes the necessary information and the submission is clearly marked as a complaint filed under the Inventors’ Rights Act. Invention promotion firms may use any format when responding to a submitted complaint; there is no associated USPTO form. Complaints and responses are posted at https://www.uspto.gov/patents/basics/using-legal-services/scam-prevention/published-complaints/published. Although the USPTO typically receives only a few complaints each year, that number is expected to rise given the recent announcement of new efforts to mitigate threats and protect the integrity of the U.S. patent system: https://www.uspto.gov/patents/fraud. |
