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.

Medicare Coverage of Items and Services in FDA Investigational Device Exemption Clinical Studies--Revision of Medicare Coverage (CMS-10511)
Key Information
Abstract
Section 1862(m) of the Act (established by section 731(b) of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108-173, enacted on December 8, 2003)) allows for payment of the routine costs of care furnished to Medicare beneficiaries in a Category A investigational device exemption (IDE) trial and authorizes the Secretary to establish criteria to ensure that Category A IDE trials conform to appropriate scientific and ethical standards. By providing Medicare coverage of routine costs in Category A trials, the Congress removed a financial barrier that may have discouraged beneficiaries from participating in these trials. It also gives Medicare beneficiaries the opportunity to have earlier access to new medical devices. Based on our rulemaking authority in section 1871 of the Act, we are applying the same Medicare coverage requirements and scientific and ethical standards to Medicare coverage related to Category B IDE studies/trials that would be applicable to Category A IDE studies/trials. CMS (or its designated entity) must review the following to determine if the Medicare coverage IDE study criteria in ?405.212 are met for purposes of coverage of items and services described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section: (1) FDA IDE approval letter. (2) IDE study protocol. (3) IRB approval letter. (4) National Clinical Trials (NCT) number. (5) Supporting materials, as needed. |

Shake Alert
Key Information
Abstract
Abstract The ShakeAlert system was established in compliance with the following authorities • 42 USC 68 Disaster Relief Act §5132. Disaster warnings • 42 USC 7701 Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act 2004.§7701. The collection of information is necessary as its findings has the potential to save lives Readiness of Federal agencies to issue warnings to State and local officials. The President shall insure that all appropriate Federal agencies are prepared to issue warnings of disasters to State and local officials. As the earthquake detection improves, the messages to populations can save lives by providing seconds of warning that strong shaking from an earthquake is coming. These seconds of extra warning can help people take protective actions, like Drop, Cover, and Hold On (DCHO) to reduce their risk of personal injury. Because seconds matter with ShakeAlert, we need to understand more about how the various parts of the alerting system work and what technical latencies or lag times exist. Without these studies, we would not understand how much time it will take for a Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) to arrive on the devices of people. This critical information allows to better understand the channels that will be using ShakeAlerts, to determine how long it will take for people to receive the messages, so we can assist in providing information on the best protective actions in their circumstance. |

| 202210-0648-001 | West Coast Region Groundfish Trawl Fishery Electronic Monitoring Program | DOC/NOAA | 2022-10-03 | 2025-12-31 | Revision of a currently approved collection
West Coast Region Groundfish Trawl Fishery Electronic Monitoring Program
Key Information
Abstract
This request is for revision and extension of a current information collection. As part of its fishery management responsibilities, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) implemented a trawl rationalization (catch share) program for the Pacific coast groundfish fishery's trawl fleet, which requires 100 percent monitoring. Implementing an electronic monitoring (EM) program for catcher vessels in the mothership and shore-based sectors can supplement, and potentially replace, observer coverage. The collection supports the certification and data requirements for EM service providers and vessel owners necessary for program implementation and compliance. The action under RIN 0648-BH70 would change existing collection requirements for OMB 0648-0785 as follows: Adds an electronic monitoring (EM) reporting requirement for vessels using non-whiting midwater trawl and bottom trawl; increases the EM hard drive submission deadlines and handling requirements from 24 hours within beginning of the offload to 72 hours within beginning of the offload; requires submission deadlines for technical assistance reports by EM service providers; and adds a self-enforcing agreement as part of initial and final EM permit application package (will add time burden to completing this form). |

Emergency Relief Program (ERP) Phase 1 and Phase 2
Key Information
Abstract
Division B, Title I, of the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act (Pub. L. 117-43) provides $10 billion for necessary expenses related to losses of crops, trees, bushes, and vines due to weather events occurring in calendar years 2020 and 2021. Eligible disaster events include drought, wildfire, hurricane, floods, derechos, excessive heat, winter storms, freeze (including polar vortex) smoke exposure, and excessive moisture. Losses due to drought are only eligible for assistance if any area of a county was rated by the U.S. Drought Monitor as D2 for eight consecutive weeks or D3 or higher level of drought intensity. Similar to the Emergency Livestock Relief Program, ERP will be implemented under two phases. The first phase will leverage crop insurance and NAP claim data; RMA will calculate the ERP benefit for insured producers based on elevated guarantees using the ERP factors as shown in the below table and provide that information to FSA, and FSA will calculate the ERP benefit similarly for NAP producers and then using the data from both RMA and what FSA calculated for NAP, generate a prefilled application that will be sent to identified producers. The application requires little new information from the producer (e.g. shares if not on file), but is important as a clear certification that the loss was a result of an eligible disaster and that the producer agrees to obtain risk management protection in the subsequent two years. |

Independent Living Services (ILS) Program Performance Report (PPR)
Key Information
Abstract
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (the Act) requires the Independent Living Services (ILS) Program Performance Report (PPR). The ILS PPR is submitted annually by the Designated State Entities (DSEs) and Statewide Independent Living Councils (SILCs) in every state that receives Part B funds. The ILS PPR serves as the main way for DSEs to fulfill their requirement to submit reports regarding financial assistance from the Administration for Community Living (ACL). The ILS PPRs are used by ACL to assess grantees’ compliance with Title VII of the Act, with 45 CFR part 1329 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and with applicable provisions of the HHS Regulations at 45 CFR part 75. Based on the review and analysis of PPRs, ACL provides technical assistance, assesses compliance, and grants and denies continuation of funding. The PPR is also used by ACL to design CIL and SILC training and technical assistance activities authorized by section 721 of the Act. See 29 U.S.C. § 721(b)(1) (which is 29 U.S.C. 796f(b)(1)); see 45 CFR 1329.24. The data is also used to meet the requirements of GPRAMA regarding performance measures. See 31 U.S.C. § 1116. |
