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, or 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.
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.

Notice Requirements of the Health Care Continuation Coverage Provisions
Key Information
Abstract
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) provides that under certain circumstances participants and beneficiaries of group health plans that satisfy the definition of qualified beneficiaries under COBRA may elect to continue group health coverage temporarily following events known as qualifying events that would otherwise result in loss of coverage. COBRA provides that the Secretary of Labor (the Secretary) has the authority under section 608 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to carry out the provisions of Part 6 of title I of ERISA. The Conference Report that accompanied COBRA authorized the Secretary to issue regulations implementing the notice and disclosure requirements of COBRA. Under the regulatory guidelines, plan administrators are required to distribute notices as follows: a general notice to be distributed to all participants in group health plans subject to COBRA; an employer notice that must be completed by the employer upon the occurrence of a qualifying event; a notice and election form to be sent to a participant upon the occurrence of a qualifying event that might cause the participant to lose group health coverage; an employee notice that may be completed by a qualified beneficiary upon the occurrence of certain qualifying events such as divorce or disability; and, two other notices, one of early termination and the other a notice of unavailability. Also included in the ICR are two model notices that the Department believes will help reduce costs for service providers in preparing and delivering notices to comply with the regulations. |

FERC-549B, Gas Pipeline Rates: Capacity Reports and Index of Customers
Key Information
Abstract
The FERC-549B covers the various aspects of releasing and acquiring natural gas pipeline capacity that are needed for regulatory oversight and efficient business transactions to occur easily. There are three distinct reporting requirements under the FERC-549B information collection: (1) capacity reports related to firm, released and interruptible transportation service; (2) peak day annual capacity reports; and (3) Index of Customers. The Commission uses the information collected in the FERC-549B to analyze capacity held on pipelines and to ensure that rates for gas capacity are just and reasonable. The FERC-549B allows the Commission to monitor marketplace behavior as well as to detect and remedy anti-competitive behavior. Shippers of natural gas need to use all FERC-549B information about the capacity in pipeline corridors, especially the data related to the value of capacity. Shippers use this information to determine where capacity is available and when as well as to make informed decisions about the capacity they may want to purchase. |
