Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker

ICR Definition

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.

Abstract

This is a revision request for the previously approved ICR to continue collecting program monitoring and reporting information from jurisdictions (which include states, Washington, D.C., U.S. Territories, cities, and counties) currently funded under the Overdose Data to Action (CDC-RFA-CE19-1904) notice of funding opportunity (OD2A NOFO). Reporting requirements have been carefully designed to align with and support the specific goals and outcomes outlined in the OD2A NOFO. This revision request is to initiate data collection activities for two new Overdose Data to Action NOFOs, the Overdose Data to Action in States (OD2A-S) will collect program monitoring and reporting information from states and Washington, D.C. The Overdose Data to Action-Limiting Overdose through Collaborative Actions in Localities (OD2A-LOCAL) will collect program monitoring and reporting information from U.S. Territories, cities, and counties. This non substantive change request updates questions used in OMB 0920-1283 Monitoring and Reporting for the Overdose Data to Action Cooperative Agreement to be in accordance with E.O. 14168 & E.O. 14151.

Abstract

U.S. commercial banks, savings associations, Edge or agreement corporations, bank holding companies (BHCs), savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs), and U.S. intermediate holding companies of foreign banking organizations (IHCs) (collectively, U.S. banking organizations) that meet certain criteria set forth in the FFIEC 009 instructions must file the quarterly FFIEC 009 with the Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) (collectively, the agencies) to report information on international claims. The agencies use this information to monitor the degree of country risk and transfer risk in U.S. banking organizations’ portfolios and the potential impact of adverse international developments on the banking organizations. The FFIEC 009a is a supplement to the FFIEC 009 that must be filed by FFIEC 009 filers that have exposure exceeding certain thresholds set forth in the FFIEC 009a instructions. The FFIEC 009a collects quarterly information on material foreign country exposures of U.S. banking organizations. The agencies collect the FFIEC 009 and FFIEC 009a under the auspices of the FFIEC. The Board is responsible for collecting and compiling the data reported on the FFIEC 009 and FFIEC 009a on behalf of all three agencies. Each of the agencies submits a separate supporting statement to the OMB for this collection of information for relevant banking organizations under their supervision. For the Board, these banking organizations are state member banks, Edge or agreement corporations, BHCs, SLHCs, and IHCs.

26 USC 9812 (View Law)

Abstract

The Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA) was enacted on October 3, 2008 as sections 511 and 512 of the Tax Extenders and Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008 (Division C of Public Law 110-343). MHPAEA amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code). In 1996, Congress enacted the Mental Health Parity Act of 1996, which required parity in aggregate lifetime and annual dollar limits for mental health benefits and medical and surgical benefits. Those mental health parity provisions were codified in section 712 of ERISA, section 2705 of the PHS Act, and section 9812 of the Code. The changes made by MHPAEA are codified in these same sections and consist of new requirements as well as amendments to several of the existing mental health parity provisions applicable to group health plans and health insurance coverage offered in connection with a group health plan. MHPAEA and the interim final regulations do not apply to small employers who have between two and 50 employees. The changes made by MHPAEA are generally effective for plan years beginning after October 3, 2009. MHPAEA and the final regulations (29 CFR 2590.712(d)) require plan administrators to disclose the criteria for medical necessity determinations with respect to mental health and substance use disorder benefits. These third-party disclosures are information collection requests for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act. In response to provisions of the Cures Act requires the Departments of Labor (DOL), Health and Human Services, and the Treasury (collectively, the Departments), are providing a model form that participants, enrollees, or their authorized representatives could use to request information from their health plan or issuer regarding NQTLs that may affect their MH/SUD benefits, or to obtain documentation after an adverse benefit determination involving MH/SUD benefits to support an appeal.

Abstract

The Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), 2021, was signed into law in December 2020. In this legislation, Congress established a new Medicare provider type: Rural Emergency Hospitals (REHs). Section 125 of Division CC of the CAA, 2021 added section 1861(kkk) to the Social Security Act (the Act). This section defines an REH as a facility that, in relevant part, was as of December 27, 2020: (1) a Critical Access Hospital (CAH) or a subsection (d) hospital with not more than 50 beds located in a county (or equivalent unit of local government) in a rural area (defined in section 1886(d)(2)(D) of the Act); or (2) was a subsection (d) hospital with not more than 50 beds that was treated as being in a rural area pursuant to section 1886(d)(8)(E) of the Act. Under section 1861(kkk)(7) of the Act, as added by section 125 of Division CC of the CAA, 2021, the Secretary is required to establish quality measurement reporting requirements for REHs, which may include the use of a small number of claims-based measures or patient experience surveys.

Abstract

The High-Frequency Surveys Program was established as a natural progression from the creation of the Household Pulse Survey. The Census Bureau developed the Household Pulse Survey to produce near real-time data in a time of urgent and acute need to inform federal and state action in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Changes in the measures over time provided insight into individuals’ experiences on social and economic dimensions during the period of the pandemic. It has evolved to include content on other emergent social and economic issues facing households and is designed to supplement the federal statistical system’s traditional benchmark data products with a new data source that provides relevant and timely information based on a high-quality sample frame, data integration, and cooperative expertise. In January 2025, the HPS and CHP will be relaunched as the Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (HTOPS). The HTOPS will continue the strong tradition of the HPS by rapidly providing insight into national events that have social and economic impacts on U.S. households. It will complement more traditional federal surveys by producing data much closer to real time as the events develop and with the new longitudinal design, have the ability to track changes over time. Along with HPS content, the survey will enable the Census Bureau to address research and content development needs for its census and survey programs. The HTOPS will be one more tool among the Census Bureau's data collection efforts to provide the nation with quality, up-to-date information that informs our future.

Abstract

The information collected serves to identify and develop safety countermeasures that will reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. These Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies -- Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), Special Crash Investigations (SCI), and Special Studies (SS) -- involve voluntary information collections through which NHTSA collects detailed data on real world motor vehicle crashes. Specifically, these systems collect data on vehicle safety system performance, occupant injury information including their kinematic interaction with interior components and scene geometry, marking and traffic controls. Respondents are police agencies that collect information on police-reported motor vehicle crashes, employees of tow yards where crashed vehicles are stored, people involved in these crashes, and hospitals with medical records for the people injured in the crash. For the standard investigation-based crash data studies acquisition process, once a crash has been selected for investigation, crash technicians or investigators locate, visit, measure, and photograph the crash scene; locate, inspect, and photograph vehicles; conduct a telephone or personal interview with the involved individuals or surrogate (another person who can provide occupant or crash information, such as parents for minor, or a parent or spouse for decreased individual); and obtain and record crash injury information received from various medical data sources. These information collections support NHTSA’s mission to save lives and prevent injuries due to traffic crashes. The data collected from these systems are used to describe and analyze circumstances, mechanisms, and consequences of serious motor vehicle crashes in the United States. Additionally, these data are used by NHTSA to identify the primary factors related to the source of crashes and their injury outcomes, develop and evaluate effective safety countermeasures, the establishment and enforcement of motor vehicle regulations, that reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58) (IIJA) was signed into law. The Crash Data section (section 24108) of the IIJA authorizes the Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by delegation) to use funds to enhance the collection of data under CISS by, among other things, including additional data collection sites. As a result of the additional funding provided by the IIJA, in addition to the expansion of data collection from the last modification, NHTSA now plans to phase in 17 additional data collection sites in CISS over the next 3 years. The total data collection sites will incrementally increase from 56 to 73 over the next three years. NHTSA is now accounting for the increases in burden hours for interviewees, police, tow yards and medical facilities for an additional 17 data collection sites. The increase in burden hours and cost for these additional data collection sites are reflected in the Burden to Respondent section of this document. The current approval for Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies collection indicated a total annual 12,063 burden hours; this request increases the total annual burden hours to 17,521. The request for the collection of information is revised due to increasing the number of crashes investigated by Crash Technicians for 2025 and future years for CISS program. The combined impact is an increase of 5,458 total annual burden hours.
