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.

Records Supporting Drawback Claims on Eligible Articles Brought into the United States from Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands (TTB REC 5530/3)
Key Information
Abstract
Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 7652(g), the provisions of 26 U.S.C. 5111–5114 providing for drawback (refund) of Federal excise taxes paid on distilled spirits used in certain nonbeverage products—medicines, medicinal preparations, food products, flavors, flavoring extracts, and perfumes—also apply to such articles brought into the United States from Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands. In particular, 26 U.S.C. 5112 requires nonbeverage product drawback claimants to keep the records necessary to document the information provided in such claims, subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary. Based on those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations at 27 CFR 26.174 and 26.310 require persons making nonbeverage product drawback claims on eligible articles brought into the United States from Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands to keep certain business, formula, and tax payment records documenting the data regarding the distilled spirits and articles in question provided in such claims. Those persons must maintain the required records at their business premises for at least 3 years, during which time TTB may inspect the records to verify the data provided in their claims. TTB’s verification of such nonbeverage product drawback claims is necessary to protect the revenue and ensure compliance with relevant statutory and regulatory requirements. |

| 202509-0938-001 | Minimum Data Set 3.0 Nursing Home and Swing Bed Prospective Payment System (PPS) for the Collection of Data Related to the Patient Driven Payment Model and the Skilled Nursing Facility QRP (CMS-10387) | HHS/CMS | 2025-09-03 | Active | Revision of a currently approved collection
Minimum Data Set 3.0 Nursing Home and Swing Bed Prospective Payment System (PPS) for the Collection of Data Related to the Patient Driven Payment Model and the Skilled Nursing Facility QRP (CMS-10387)
Key Information
Abstract
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is a uniform instrument used in every Medicare/Medicaid certified nursing home in the United States to assess resident condition. It was developed in response to the Landmark Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report on Nursing Home Quality in 1987 where the MDS was seen as a critical component in efforts to improve the quality of care in nursing homes. The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA 1987) also set forth new provisions for Medicare and Medicaid related to new standards for care in the nursing home setting. From its inception, the MDS was intended to serve several purposes: (1) Collect data to inform care plans (2) To generate quality indicators to evaluate nursing homes and guide improvement interventions (3) To serve as a data source for nursing home payment systems. Pursuant to sections 4204(b) and 4214(d) of OBRA 1987, the current requirements related to the submission and retention of resident assessment data are not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), but it has been determined that requirements for SNF staff performing, encoding and patient assessment data necessary administer the payment rate methodology described in 413.337, are subject to the PRA. The SNF QRP was established in CMS-1622-F (August 4, 2015; 80 FR 46390) and began collecting data from SNFs in fiscal year (FY) 2016 using the MDS. As described in section 1899B (b)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act (the Act), SNFs are required to submit standardized patient assessment data with respect to the following categories: • Functional Status • Cognitive Function • Special Services, Treatments, and Interventions • Medical Conditions and Comorbidities • Impairments • Other categories deemed necessary and appropriate by the Secretary Both the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) in the SNF PPS and the SNF QRP collect data through the MDS 3.0. The PDPM was described and adopted for SNFs and Swing Beds in CMS-1696-F (August 8, 2018; 83 FR 39162). This package is a request for a revision to the current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment instrument for the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF). This package represents a request from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to implement the MDS 3.0 v1.18.11 beginning October 1, 2023 to October 1, 2026 in order to meet the requirements of policies finalized in the Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Prospective Payment System (PPS) final rule (CMS-1718-F, RIN 0938-AT75). A PRA package was submitted at the time of the finalized policies and approved on 11/22/2019, but the compliance date for the finalized policies (10/01/2020) was delayed due to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). Please note, however, the burden was never retracted, and the implementation of the instrument was simply delayed. While there has been no change in assessment-level burden since the approval of the MDS 3.0 v1.17.2, there has been a change in total burden since 2019 when the package was originally approved due to a decrease in the number of MDS assessments completed and a change in the hourly rate for clinicians completing the assessment. |

Fiduciary Bond (38 CFR Part 13)
Key Information
Abstract
Due to Congress authorizing VA to require a prospective fiduciary to obtain a surety bond as a part of the certification process of a prospective fiduciary, VA is requiring fiduciaries to submit proof of adequate bonding with annual accounting to facilitate its oversight responsibility as mandated. RIN 2900-AR11, Fiduciary Bond, does not use a form to collect this information. However, the amended information request is made by VA field fiduciary personnel. They make the request either verbally or by letter that informs the fiduciary to submit the original bond certificate or the contractual agreement between the fiduciary and the bonding company as proof of adequate bonding. This amended collection of information is required to fulfill VA requirements mandated by Congress, for oversight of fiduciaries. The VA Fiduciary Program would not be able to provide adequate oversight of certain fiduciaries appointed to receive VA benefits in excess of $25,000 on behalf of a beneficiary without proof that surety bonds are in place to protect these funds. |

National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997
Key Information
Abstract
The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) includes 8,984 respondents who were born in the years 1980 through 1984 and lived in the United States when the survey began in 1997. The primary objective of the survey is to study the transition from full-time schooling to the establishment of careers and families. The longitudinal focus of the survey requires information to be collected about the same individuals over many years in order to trace their education, training, work experience, fertility, income, and program participation. One of the goals of the Department of Labor is to produce and disseminate timely, accurate, and relevant information about the U.S. labor force. BLS contributes to this goal by gathering information about the labor force and labor market and disseminating it to policymakers and the public so that participants in those markets can make more informed, and thus more efficient, choices. Research based on the NLSY97 contributes to the formation of national policy in the areas of education, training, employment programs, and school-to-work transitions. |

[OPHDST] National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS)
Key Information
Abstract
The National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) is the nation’s public health surveillance system used to monitor the occurrence and spread of nationally notifiable conditions. Respondents are 60 jurisdictions: public health departments in every U.S. state, New York City, Washington DC, 5 U.S. territories (American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), and 3 freely associated states (the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau). NNDSS provides the official source of statistics in the United States for nationally notifiable conditions and CDC is the sole repository for these national, population-based data. Recently the NNDSS platform was modernized and expanded as a low-cost, common portal for collecting information on other conditions. Among the thousands of diseases that affect the health of the population, CDC and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) have prioritized the approximately 120 Nationally Notifiable Conditions as those most important for public health monitoring and response. Changes to NNDSS in this Revision include: 1) Addition of case notification data for non-pestis yersiniosis, injuries related to firearms, and Chagas disease; and 2) Processing a total of 61 new data elements for 2 conditions: Toxoplasmosis and congenital toxoplasmosis The overall burden hours decreased since the last Revision because there were less one-time burdens associated with disease-specific data elements in this Revision |

| 202511-1405-001 | Gold Visa Application | STATE/AFA | 2025-11-20 | Active | New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
Gold Visa Application
Key Information
Abstract
The DS-260G information collection will be used to collect the information necessary for a proper application for an immigrant visa in accordance with the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq., which mandates the application and eligibility requirements for aliens seeking to obtain an immigrant visa and alien registration in the United States. INA section 221(a), 8 U.S.C. § 1201(a), provides that a consular officer may issue an immigrant visa to an alien who has made a proper application.Emergency Justfication:The Department of State (“the Department”) requests immediate emergency approval for a new Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration for “Gold Visa” applicants -the “Gold Visa Application” (DS-260G). On September 19, 2025, President Trump signed EO 14351 announcing the Gold Card visa program. The EO directs the Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security, to establish the “Gold Card” program authorizing an alien who makes a gift to the Department of Commerce under 15 U.S.C. 1522 (or for whom a corporation or similar entity makes such a gift) to establish eligibility for an immigrant visa using an expedited process. The EO states that in adjudicating visa applications, the Secretary of State shall, consistent with applicable law, treat this gift as evidence of eligibility as either an EB-1 alien under INA 203(b)(1)(A), 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(1)(A), of exceptional business ability or an EB-2 alien of national benefit under INA section 203(b)(2)(A), 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(2)(A), and of eligibility for a national-interest waiver under INA section 203(b)(2)(B), 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(2)(B). The Department, the Department of Commerce (Commerce), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have determined a proper application for a Gold Visa shall require a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)-approved I-140G, Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program, and that the alien provide detailed background information for national security vetting purposes in accordance with EO 14161. The Department will use the DS-260G to ensure aliens applying for a Gold Card meet eligibility requirements for an EB-1 or EB-2 immigrant visa. This new form is based upon the currently approved Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, DS-260. However, a new information collection is necessary as the DS-260 does not have the technical capability to process Gold Card applicants, who are required to provide a substantial donation to the U.S. Government of $1 million to $2 million in accordance with EO 14351. EO 14351 requires the Department, Commerce, and DHS to take all necessary and appropriate steps to implement the Gold Card program within 90 days of the order. Utilizing the normal clearance procedures for this collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) would prevent the Department from complying with the EO’s December 18, 2025, deadline. The Department concludes it is necessary to seek emergency review and approval for this information collection in accordance with 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13 and certifies that the requirements of 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13(a) are met because: • The DS-260G is needed prior to the expiration of time periods established under the PRA and its implementing regulations; • The DS-260G is essential to the mission of the Department; and • An unanticipated event has occurred. The unanticipated, adverse event began on October 1, 2025, and continued until November 13, 2025; specifically, the most recent federal government shutdown. Across the nation, this shutdown placed 650,000 federal workers on furlough, while 600,000 more were working without pay. The Federal government shutdown impacted essential partners, including colleagues at DHS, Commerce, and the Office of Management and Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Because of the shutdown, personnel and resources were not available to undertake the PRA’s ordinary public process. The Department completed all feasible measures during the shutdown, but it was not possible to move forward with the process until furloughed colleagues resumed their critical roles in this collaborative federal effort. Therefore, the Department requests OMB formal emergency review and approval of this information collection under 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13. |
