Change Requests

What is an ICR?

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.

When are they submitted?

Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, 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.

Where to find an ICR?

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.

Understanding Economic Risk for Families with Low Incomes: Economic Security, Program Benefits, and Decisions About Work

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request is for a new project. The research team is requesting two years of approval. The purpose of this project is to understand the role of economic risk in public benefit recipients’ decision making about whether to increase earnings. This study will investigate the factors that influence the decisions made by people with low incomes to increase earnings (or not) by presenting beneficiaries with vignettes about other people with the opportunity to increase their earnings and asking them what decision they would make in similar circumstances. The vignettes will vary the risk of an opportunity, the ease of regaining benefits if income later dropped, and the extent of the earnings increase. The job opportunities and associated risks will vary systematically. The choices that study participants recommend will provide insight into the relative importance of these different factors – both alone and in combination. Guided by a better understanding of the role of risk and risk tolerance in families’ decisions about work, the government could design policy levers to reduce risk and thereby support families’ choices to increase earnings and achieve greater economic security.

Optimizing Virtual Care Grant Program Performance Measures

Key Information

Abstract

The Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to electronically collect data for Optimizing Virtual Care (OVC) grant recipient activities and performance measures over an approximately 14-month period. In February 2022, HRSA awarded nearly $55 million to 29 HRSA-funded health centers through the OVC grant program to increase health care access and quality for underserved populations through virtual care such as telehealth, remote patient monitoring, digital patient tools, and health information technology platforms. The goal of the OVC grant program is to continue to support innovation that began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when health centers quickly expanded their use of virtual care to maintain access to essential primary care services for underserved communities. HRSA-funded health centers serve special and vulnerable populations facing barriers to virtual care access, such as low digital literacy, low connectivity capabilities, or limited technology access. The 29 grant recipients will serve as a model for how to increase equitable virtual care, generating and refining strategies that can be adapted and scaled across the Health Center Program. The data on grant recipient activities and performance will help HRSA demonstrate, adapt, assess, and disseminate promising practices, strategies, and novel models of virtual care across the nation’s health centers. The grant recipient activities related to implementation of novel models of virtual care, including aggregate data on patients served and the services they received, will be captured via monthly progress reports. A set of health center performance measures will be captured via a biannual measures report and will provide evidence-informed insight into health equity and virtual care. The Health Center Program and supplemental awards to health centers are authorized by Section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 254b). Notably, HRSA is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 254b(d) to make supplemental awards for health centers to “implement evidence-based models for increasing access to high-quality primary care services, which may include models related to… expanding the use of telehealth and technology-enabled collaborative learning and capacity building models .” As per 45 CFR §75.301, HRSA is obligated to collect performance information on its grants “in a way that will help the HHS awarding agency and other non-Federal entities to improve program outcomes, share lessons learned, and spread the adoption of promising practices.” The original version of the information collection instruments submitted to OMB inadvertently included the April 2022 versions of the data collection instruments developed prior to the 60-day public comment period (Biannual 12-Items Measures Progress Report version 3.1 and OVC Grant Recipient MPR template version 3.5b, dated April 5, 2022). Thus, HRSA is now submitting the revised instruments (OVC Biannual Measures Report Template version 6.0 and OVC Grant Recipient MPR version 4.0, dated December 8, 2022), which include minor revisions made in response to grant recipient and OVC project officer feedback.

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection involves both reporting and recordkeeping by Part 142 training centers in order to issue pilot certificates. Some of the information collected in this collection is recordkeeping by Part 142 training centers for information that they collect to be able to issue pilot certificates. Applicants for Part 142 Training Center are required to report the information when submitting an application to the FAA. Existing Part 142 Training Centers are required to maintain records of the information in order to issue pilot certificates. Both the application process and the recordkeeping process for training that has occurred is accounted for in this collection. The training center is required by regulation to collect information and keep records to show trainees are qualified for training, testing, or checking. The information contained in this collection is mandatory as required by the regulations mentioned in number 1 of this collection. The entities who must respond are Part 142 Training Centers. The requirements of this collection are recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The collection frequency is as required and may differ per regulatory requirement. For example, training records of trainee must be kept each time they engage in training. The information would be retained by the certificate holder for inspection by FAA personnel or in the case of certification requests, be presented to the FAA. The information is maintained by the certificate holder and subject to review by aviation safety inspectors (operations), designated to provide surveillance to training centers to ensure compliance with airman training, testing, and certification requirements specified in other parts of the 14 CFR. Information may be reviewed on a periodic basis, and at times of special events such as accidents, requests for certificate or course amendments, and the like. If the information were not collected, inspectors would not be able to determine if airmen who are clients are being trained, checked, or tested to meet the safety standards established in other parts of 14 CFR. To date, FAA inspectors have used the information collected to determine and assess regulatory compliance during routine program surveillance.

Helicopter Air Ambulance, Commercial Helicopter, and Part 91 Helicopter Operations

Key Information

Abstract

These requirements in part 135 are addressed specifically to helicopter air ambulances, often referred to as emergency medical services (EMS), and to on-demand operations including overwater operations. The National Transportation Safety Board recommended several changes following accident investigations. The FAA aims to improve the safety record of helicopter air ambulances through better oversight of their operations. The FAA will use the information it collects and reviews to ensure compliance and adherence with regulations and, if necessary, to take enforcement action on violators of the regulations. Section 44731 of the Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 required the FAA to collect from part 135 certificate holder providing helicopter air ambulance services a report containing the number of helicopters that the certificate holder uses to provide helicopter air ambulance services, the base locations of the helicopters, the number of flights and hours flown by registration number while providing helicopter air ambulance services, the number of flight requests for a helicopter providing air ambulance services that were accepted or declined by the certificate holder and the type of each such flight request (such as scene response, inter-facility transport, organ transport, or ferry or repositioning flight), the number of accidents, if any, involving helicopters operated by the certificate holder while providing air ambulance services and a description of the accidents, the number of flights and hours flown under instrument flight rules by helicopters operated by the certificate holder while providing air ambulance services, the time of day of each flight flown by helicopters operated by the certificate holder while providing air ambulance services, and the number of incidents, if any, in which a helicopter was not directly dispatched and arrived to transport patients but was not utilized for patient transport. Section 314(d) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 amended these reporting requirements for the report to contain the number of helicopters that the certificate holder uses to provide helicopter air ambulance services and the base locations of the helicopters, the number of hours flown by the helicopters operated by the certificate holder, the number of patients transported and the number of patient transport requests for a helicopter providing air ambulance services that were accepted or declined by the certificate holder and the type of each such flight request (such as scene response, inter-facility transport or organ transport), the number of accidents, if any, involving helicopters operated by the certificate holder while providing air ambulance services and a description of the accidents, the number of hours flown under instrument flight rules by helicopters operated by the certificate holder, the number of hours flown at night by helicopters operated by the certificate holder, the number of incidents, if any, in which a helicopter was not directly dispatched and arrived to transport patients but was not utilized for patient transport. Essentially, this relieved the requirement for reporting of flight time by individual aircraft and by time of day and now only requires the reporting of the total flight hours, in aggregate, flown by the certificate holder and the number of hours flown at night. The amendment added the requirement to report the number of patients flown by the certificate holder. The requirement for reporting is placed upon the certificate holders via Operations Specification paragraph A021, Air Ambulance Operations—Helicopter. A reporting template is provided to the certificate holders by the Air Transportation Division, Operations Group, 135 Air Carrier Operations Section, AFS-220.

Joint Standards for Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices of Regulated Entities by the Agencies

Key Information

Abstract

Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Act) required the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and other Federal financial regulators (together, Agencies and separately, Agency) each to establish an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) to be responsible for all Agency matters relating to diversity in management, employment, and business activities. The Act also instructed each Agency’s OMWI Director to develop standards for assessing the diversity policies and practices of entities regulated by that Agency. The Agencies worked together to develop joint standards (Joint Standards) and on June 10, 2015, they jointly published the “Final Interagency Policy Statement Establishing Joint Standards for Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices of Entities Regulated by the Agencies” (Policy Statement). See 80 Fed. Reg. 33016. The Joint Standards contain information collections that fall within the scope of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). First, the Joint Standards include “Practices to Promote Transparency of Organizational Diversity and Inclusion,” which contemplate that a regulated entity makes certain information available to the public annually on its Web sites or through other appropriate communications methods, in a manner reflective of the entity’s size and other characteristics. The specific information referenced in these standards is (a) the entity’s diversity and inclusion strategic plan; (b) its policy on its commitment to diversity and inclusion; (c) its progress toward achieving diversity and inclusion in its workforce and procurement activities; and (d) opportunities available at the entity that promote diversity. Second, the Joint Standards address “Entities’ Self-Assessments,” which contemplate that a regulated entity, in a manner reflective of its size and other characteristics, (a) conducts an annual, voluntary self-assessment of its diversity policies and practices; (b) monitors and evaluates its performance under its diversity policies and practices on an ongoing basis; (c) provides information pertaining to its self-assessment to the OMWI Director of its primary federal financial regulator; and (d) publishes information pertaining to its efforts with respect to the Joint Standards.

Application for Child's Insurance Benefits

Key Information

Abstract

Title II of the Social Security Act (Act) provides for the payment of monthly benefits to children of an insured retired, disabled, or deceased worker. Section 202(d) of the Act discloses the conditions and requirements the applicant must meet when filing an application. An unmarried child who has a parent who is retired or has a disability and is entitled to Social Security benefits, or who has a parent who died after having worked long enough in a job where they paid Social Security taxes, is entitled to receive benefits. An unmarried child can receive benefits if they meet one of the following criteria: (1) the child is younger than 18; (2) the child is a full-time student at an elementary or secondary school (grade 12 or below); (3) the child is age 18 to 19 and attending elementary or secondary school full-time; or (4) the child is age 18 or older with a disability that began before age 22. Under certain circumstances, SSA can also pay benefits to a stepchild, grandchild, step-grandchild, or adopted child. Respondents can download and complete Form SSA 4 BK at www.ssa.gov and mail it back to SSA, or they can call SSA to schedule an appointment at the field office, where an SSA employee can interview respondents and enter information into our Modernized Claims Systems (MCS). When applying for benefits for a child, the respondent needs to provide SSA with the following information: (1) the child’s birth certificate or other proof of birth or adoption; and (2) the parent’s and child’s Social Security numbers. Depending on the type of benefit involved, SSA may require other documents for example: if applying for survivors benefits for the child, SSA requires proof of the parent’s death; and if applying for benefits for a child with a disability, SSA requires medical evidence to prove the child’s disability. The SSA representative helping the respondent with their application tells them what other documents they may need, or the respondent can find the information on SSA’s website. SSA uses the information on Form SSA-4-BK to determine entitlement for children of living and deceased workers to monthly Social Security payments. The respondents are guardians completing the form on behalf of the children of living or deceased workers, or the children of living or deceased workers.

Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction (Form 7205)

Key Information

Abstract

Form 7205 (December 2022) is being created to allow taxpayers who own or lease a commercial building to claim under section 179D a deduction for a portion of the cost of installing energy-efficient commercial building property. Form 7205 consolidates deductions from other IRS forms and schedules; and provides information to support the deduction claimed. This form helps taxpayers understand how to calculate the deduction and increase taxpayer compliance. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (P.L. 116-260), section 102(a), made the IRC section 179D deduction permanent. Notice 2008-40 clarifies and amplifies Notice 2006–52, 2006–1 C.B. 1175. Notice 2006–52 provides a process that allows a taxpayer who owns a commercial building and installs property as part of the commercial building’s interior lighting systems, heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water systems, or building envelope to obtain a certification that the property satisfies the energy efficiency requirements of § 179D(c)(1) and (d) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Notice 2006–52 also provides for a public list of software programs that may be used in calculating energy and power consumption for purposes of § 179D, and allows software developers to be added to the list. Taxpayers are required by section 179D (statute) to certify each project for which they claim the 179D deduction. The IRS has not added to that burden in Notice 2008-40 but simply provided guidance on how to complete the certification process required by the statute.
