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.

Abstract

The No Surprises Act adds a new Part E of title XXVII of the PHS Act establishing requirements applicable to health care providers, and facilities. Specifically, the No Surprises Act adds provisions at new PHS Act sections 2799B-6 and 2799B-7, which require providers and facilities to provide a good faith estimate of the total expected charges to uninsured individuals, under certain circumstances, upon their request, for scheduled items and services, and allow uninsured individuals to avail themselves to a patient-provider dispute resolution process if their billed charges after receiving such items or services is substantially in excess of the expected charges listed in the good faith estimate furnished by the provider ot facility. PHS Act section 2799B-6 (2)(A) requires a health care provider or facility to provide a notification of the good faith estimate of expected charges to a plan or issuer in the case the individual is enrolled in such a plan or coverage and is seeking to have a claim for such item or services submitted to such plan or coverage. The good faith estimate of expected charges from the health care provider or facility will inform the advanced explanation of benefits that must be provided by the plan or issuer, as required by PHS Act section 2799A-1(f), in the case the individual is enrolled in such a plan or coverage and is seeking to have a claim for such item or services submitted to such plan or coverage.

Abstract

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing Feature of Interest Survey for Banknote Equipment Manufacturers (BEMs) is voluntarily completed by BEM companies to inform BEP's efforts to develop features to be included in future Federal Reserve Note (FRN) redesigns. The survey gives BEM companies the opportunity to comment whether proposed features and/or FRN redesigns (a.k.a. Features of Interest) can be detected, validated, transported, and stored by their products. Banknote Equipment Manufacturers (BEMs) are companies that produce any type of equipment that handles banknotes for commercial purposes involving accept/reject decisions for FRNs.

Abstract

The National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) is an annual collection of state-level finance data that has been included in the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Common Core of Data (CCD) since FY 1982 (school year 1981-82). NPEFS provides function expenditures by salaries, benefits, purchased services, and supplies, and includes federal, state, and local revenues by source. The NPEFS collection includes data on all state-run schools from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. NPEFS data are used for a wide variety of purposes, including to calculate federal program allocations such as states’ “average per-pupil expenditure” (SPPE) for elementary and secondary education, certain formula grant programs (e.g. Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) as amended, Impact Aid, and Indian Education programs). Furthermore, in addition to using the SPPE data as general information on the financing of elementary and secondary education, the U.S. Department of Education Secretary uses these data directly in calculating allocations for certain formula grant programs, including, but not limited to, title I, part A, of the ESEA, Impact Aid, and Indian Education programs. Other programs, such as the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program under title VII of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants under title IV, part A of the ESEA make use of SPPE data indirectly because their formulas are based, in whole or in part, on State title I, part A, allocations. NCES’s request to conduct the annual collection of state-level finance data for FY 2019-2021 was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in August 2019 (OMB# 1850-0067 v.17), and subsequent submissions (OMB# 1850-0067 v.18-22) addressed changes driven by the global coronavirus pandemic as well as normal changes to include updated contact materials and Federal Register Notices. In this package NCES requests approval of the collection of National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) data covering fiscal years 2022 through 2024 (corresponding to school years 2021/22 through 2023/24), that will be carried out in 2023 through 2025. This NPEFS FY 2022-2024 request involves changes to the last approved NPEFS data collection instrument (Appendix B.1) to: (1) add new items to gather data on expenditures for specific sources of coronavirus (COVID-19) federal assistance funds; (2) remove items from the survey which ask for Title V, Part A expenditures; and (3) update headers to make the formatting more consistent for use in the NPEFS web application. This request also includes minor revisions to the Fiscal Data Plan (Appendix B.2) to provide definitions and clarify the questions related to the impact of COVID-19 on average daily attendance. Furthermore, we have updated the NPEFS reporting instructions (Appendix B.3) to add definitions for the new data items in Section 8 and remove the data items for Title V, Part A.
