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.

Key Information

Abstract

Section 114 of the FACT Act amended section 615 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to require the Agencies (OCC, FRB, FDIC, NCUA, and FTC) to issue jointly: • Guidelines for financial institutions and creditors regarding identity theft with respect to their account holders and customers (in developing the guidelines, the Agencies are required to identify patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity that indicate the possible existence of identity theft. The guidelines must be updated as often as necessary and cannot be inconsistent with the policies and procedures required under section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, 31 U.S.C. 5318(l).); • Regulations that require each financial institution and each creditor to establish reasonable policies and procedures for implementing the guidelines to identify possible risks to account holders or customers or to the safety and soundness of the institution or creditor; and • Regulations generally requiring credit and debit card issuers to assess the validity of change of address requests under certain circumstances. Section 315 of the FACT Act amended section 605 of the FCRA to require the Agencies to issue regulations providing guidance regarding reasonable policies and procedures that a user of consumer reports must employ when a user receives a notice of address discrepancy from a consumer reporting agency (CRA). These regulations were required to describe reasonable policies and procedures for users of consumer reports to: • Enable a user to form a reasonable belief that it knows the identity of the person for whom it has obtained a consumer report; and • Reconcile the address of the consumer with the CRA, if the user establishes a continuing relationship with the consumer and regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnishes information to the CRA.

Implementation of Medicare Programs; - Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program (CMS-10552)

Key Information

Abstract

Abstract (2000 characters maximum) The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5) was enacted on February 17, 2009, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure and improve affordable health care. Expanded use of health information technology (HIT) and certified electronic health record (EHR) technology will improve the quality and value of America's health care. Title IV of Division B of the Recovery Act amends Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act (the Act) by establishing incentive payments to eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs), and Medicare Advantage organizations participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs that adopt and successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology (CEHRT). These Recovery Act provisions, together with Title XIII of Division A of the Recovery Act, may be cited as the “Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act” or the “HITECH Act”. In 2019, the EHR Incentives Program for eligible hospitals and CAHs was subsequently renamed the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program. We are collecting information from participants in this program on objectives and measures focused on the meaningful use of CEHRT in order to incentivize the advanced use of CEHRT to support health information exchange, interoperability, advanced quality measurement, and maximizing clinical effectiveness and efficiency. In the FY 2026 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we proposed to adopt a new optional bonus measure under the Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange objective for health information exchange with a public health agency (PHA) that occurs using TEFCA, and where the eligible hospital or CAH meets certain additional requirements, beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026. We also proposed to modify two measures: (1) the SAFER Guides measure, which we proposed to modify by requiring eligible hospitals and CAHs to attest “yes” to completing an annual self-assessment using the SAFER Guides published in January 2025 beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026; and (2) the Security Risk Analysis measure, which we proposed to modify to require eligible hospitals and CAHs to attest “yes” to having conducted security risk management as required under the HIPAA Security Rule beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026. We also proposed to define the EHR reporting period in CY 2026 and subsequent years as a minimum of any continuous 180-day period within that CY for eligible hospitals and CAHs participating in the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Deep Seabed Mining Regulations

Key Information

Abstract

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Ocean Service (NOS) requests extension and revision of this currently approved information collection that contains requirements under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act (DSHMRA). This collection is being revised pursuant to a proposed rule (RIN 0648-BN96) which would, if finalized, revise the DSHMRA regulations for exploration license and commercial recovery permits to add a new, alternative procedure whereby interested and qualified U.S. citizens may submit a consolidated application to concurrently apply for a license and permit under DSHMRA. Further, the information collection is being revised due to the likely future need to begin collecting permit applications, as well as annual reports related to permit compliance. This information collection is for the purpose of the receipt and maintenance of exploration licenses and commercial recovery permits required by the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act (DSHMRA) (30 U.S.C. §§ 1401-1473). NOAA’s regulations at 15 CFR Part 970 (exploration licenses) and 15 CFR Part 971 (commercial recovery permits) govern the issuance and maintenance of DSHMRA licenses and permits. The NOAA Administrator approves or denies DSHMRA licenses and permits. The NOAA Administrator has delegated to the NOS Assistant Administrator and the NOS’ Office for Coastal Management responsibility for processing DSHMRA licenses and permits for the NOAA Administrator’s consideration and decisions. License and permit applicants must submit information to ensure that the applicant meets the DSHMRA licensing and permitting standards. Licensees and permittees are required to conduct monitoring and make reports, including annual reports regarding the licensee’s or permittee’s conformance to the schedule of activities and expenditures contained in the license or permit, and may request revisions, transfers, or extensions of licenses and permits. Information required for the issuance, revision, transfer, and extension of licenses and permits ensures that the Administrator is able to make determinations on the findings set forth in 30 U.S.C. 1413(c) and 30 U.S.C. 1415(a) and the factors set forth in the DSHMRA regulations. These findings and factors include that license and permit applicants have identified areas of interest for deep seabed hard mineral exploration and production; developed plans for those activities; have the financial resources available to conduct proposed activities; and have considered the effects of the activities on the natural and human environment. This information is used to determine whether licenses and permits should be issued, revised, transferred, or extended. Exploration licenses and commercial recovery permits under DSHMRA are only for activities by U.S. citizens in waters beyond national jurisdiction. NOAA has received several applications recently and anticipates receiving additional applications. The licenses and permits are subject to annual reporting requirements and may be subject to extension requests (every five years for exploration licenses, or every twenty years for commercial recovery permits).

Key Information

Abstract

Reliability Standard CIP-015-1 is a new cybersecurity-related Reliability Standard requiring Internal Network Security Monitoring (INSM) for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) networked environments for all high impact bulk electric system (BES) Cyber Systems with and without external routable connectivity and medium impact BES Cyber Systems with external routable connectivity. Proposed Reliability Standard CIP-015-1 will not apply to medium impact BES Cyber Systems without external routable connectivity. The new standard, proposed by NERC, in June 2024, requires entities with BES facilities whose assets are designated high impact and medium impact with external routable connectivity to implement INSM for network traffic inside an electronic security perimeter to ensure the identification of anomalous network activity including an ongoing attack. High impact systems include large control centers. Medium impact systems include smaller control centers, ultra-high voltage transmission, and large substations and generating facilities.

Form Custody

Key Information

Abstract

Section 17(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (“Exchange Act”) provides that broker-dealers registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) must make and keep records, furnish copies of the records, and make and disseminate reports as the Commission, by rule, prescribes. Pursuant to this authority, the Commission adopted Rule 17a-5 (17 CFR 240.17a-5), which is one of the primary financial and operational reporting rules for broker-dealers. Paragraph (a)(5) of Rule 17a-5 requires every broker-dealer registered with the Commission to file Form Custody (17 CFR 249.639) with its designated examining authority (“DEA”) within 17 business days after the end of each calendar quarter and within 17 business days after the end of the broker-dealer’s fiscal year if that date is not the end of a calendar quarter. Form Custody is designed to elicit information about whether a broker-dealer maintains custody of customer and non-customer assets, and, if so, how such assets are maintained. The purpose of Form Custody is to provide information about the custodial activities of broker-dealers that can serve as a starting point for Commission and DEA examiners to undertake more in-depth reviews of these activities as they deem appropriate.

Form 2100, Schedule 302-FM –FM Station License Application

Key Information

Abstract

This submission is being made to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the approval of information collection requirements contained in the Commission’s FM Broadcast Directional Antenna Performance Verification Order adopted May 19, 2022, and released on May 19, 2022, FCC 22-38, where the Commission revised its broadcast radio rules and procedures to allow for FM antenna directional pattern verification by computer modeling. This represents an update from the previous requirement that an FM or LPFM directional antenna’s performance be verified by the “measured relative field pattern” and brings our rules for those services into regulatory conformity with our rules governing AM and DTV directional antennas. The Commission expects that this change in how the antenna manufacturer may validate its FM directional antenna studies would provide an FM license applicant with greater flexibility in antenna siting and reduce the overall costs of designing and building an FM directional antenna, and station construction.

Accreditation of Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Suppliers (CMS-10932)

Key Information

Abstract

Since 2006, DMEPOS suppliers have been required to be accredited by a CMS-approved DMEPOS accreditation organization (AO) in order to enroll in Medicare. The accreditation process, which typically centers around the AO’s on-site survey of the DMEPOS supplier, is designed to help confirm that the supplier is compliant with the DMEPOS quality standards. To become and remain a DMEPOS AO – of which there currently are eight -- an organization must comply with the requirements of § 424.58. These requirements include, but are not limited to, submission of: (i) an initial application to CMS to become a DMEPOS AO; (ii) an application to CMS for reapproval as a DMEPOS AO; and (iii) periodic information to CMS about its DMEPOS accreditation program. These AO applications and data submissions do not follow a specific format and are not furnished on uniform OMB-approved forms -- akin to, for example, the Form CMS-855S DMEPOS supplier enrollment application (Medicare Enrollment Application - Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Suppliers; OMB Control Number: 0938-1056). CMS on July 2, 2025, published in the Federal Register a proposed rule titled, “Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Calendar Year 2026 Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) Rate Update; Requirements for the HH Quality Reporting Program and the HH Value-Based Purchasing Expanded Model; Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program Updates; DMEPOS Accreditation Requirements; and Other Medicare and Medicaid Policies” (90 FR 29108) (CMS-1828-P). Among the proposals in this proposed rule were additional requirements that organizations must meet to become or remain a DMEPOS AO. These proposals would: (1) facilitate greater CMS oversight of the DMEPOS accreditation program in general and DMEPOS AOs in particular; and (2) help better ensure that DMEPOS AOs are adequately performing their accreditation and quality standard verification activities. These requirements would be included in revised § 424.58.

Key Information

Abstract

This collection includes rules to govern the future operation and licensing of the 220-222 MHz band (220 MHz service). In establishing this licensing plan, FCC's goal is to establish a flexible regulatory framework that allows for efficient licensing of the 220 MHz service, eliminates unnecessary regulatory burdens, and enhances the competitive potential of the 220 MHz service in the mobile service marketplace. However, as with any licensing and operational plan for a radio service, a certain number of regulatory and information burdens are necessary to verify licensee compliance with FCC rules.

The Interstate Commerce Act (ICA) authorizes the Commission to make investigations, collect, and record data in order to carry out certain necessary and useful provisions. The information collected from oil pipeline companies under the requirements of the FERC Form No. 6-Q provide the Commission the ability to implement the statutory provisions of the ICA including the authority to prescribe rules, regulations concerning accounts, records, memoranda as necessary. The ICA also allows the Commission to prescribe a system of accounts for jurisdictional companies and (after notice) and opportunity for hearing to determine the accounts in which particular outlays and receipts can be entered, charged, or credited. The financial accounting and reporting provides needed information concerning a FERC Form No. 6-Q company’s past performance and its future prospects. Without reliable financial statements (prepared in accordance with the Commission’s Uniform Systems of Accounts), the Commission would be unable to accurately determine the costs that related to a particular time period, service, or line of business. Additionally, it would be more difficult for the Commission to determine if a certain entity was previously provided the opportunity to recover its costs via rates or to compare how the financial performance of one regulated entity relates to another. The FERC Form No. 6-Q assists the Commission in overseeing and policing the regulated oil pipeline markets to assist in enforcing the ICA.

Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection
Electronic Application for NIH Certificates of Confidentiality (CoC E-application System)

Key Information

Abstract

NIH is requesting a reinstatement without change to continue use the online Certificate of Confidentiality (CoC) application system for the next three years. In 2015, NIH launched an online application system for researchers to request a discretionary CoC from NIH. In 2020, NIH launched a new CoC online request system with fewer data fields than the 2015 system, to decrease burden on the requester and NIH staff. Information is collected to allow confirmation of eligibility for a CoC and to issue a Certificate. Eligible requesters receive an electronic Certificate once approved. In 2022, NIH received OMB approval for the revision to the CoC system data fields to add an optional data field that allows the researcher to identify another person to receive CoC system communication and the approved CoC. Since then, there has been several non-substantial change memo requests to make minor updates to the system. For this request, NIH does not request any revisions and requests a reinstatement without change. CoCs protect research participants by prohibiting disclosure of identifying information about participants to persons not connected to the research, with limited exceptions. NIH, through its funding Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs), has issued CoC since 1997 to researchers who request this protection. Since 2016, NIH-funded researchers are deemed issued a Certificate upon award of NIH funding and do not need to request a Certificate through the system. Non-NIH funded researchers may continue to request a CoC through the online system.

Key Information

Abstract

Abstract (2000 characters maximum) This request is for OMB PRA approval of a version update of the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS). The updated version of the OASIS item set is titled OASIS –E2 OASIS is a core standard assessment data set that Home Health Agencies (HHAs) integrate into their own patient-specific, comprehensive assessment to identify each patient’s need for home care that meets the patient’s medical, nursing, rehabilitative, social, and discharge planning needs. Since 1999, the Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoPs) have mandated that HHAs use the OASIS data set when evaluating adult, non-maternity patients receiving skilled services. OASIS data are used for both home health quality measurement and payment adjustment. OASIS-E2 is scheduled for implementation on April 1, 2026, to comply with changes noted in the CY2025 HH Final Rule. The changes for OASIS-E2 include the removal of the A1250 Transportation item which will be replaced by the revised A1255 Transportation item align with an item collected in other CMS programs. Subregulatory changes include CMS adding the B1000 Hearing, B0200 Vision, and A1110 Language items to the resumption of care (ROC) timepoint.A0810 Sex will replace the M0069 Gender item. Lastly, CMS will remove the O0350 Patient's COVID-19 vaccination is up to date item.

Data Security Executive Order

Key Information

Abstract

On February 28, 2024, the President issued Executive Order 14117 (Preventing Access to Americans’ Bulk Sensitive Personal Data and United States Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern) (the Order) pursuant to his authority under the Constitution and laws of the United States, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), and 301 of title 3, United States Code). The Order directs the Attorney General to issue regulations that prohibit or otherwise restrict United States persons from engaging in any acquisition, holding, use, transfer, transportation, or exportation of, or dealing in, any property in which a foreign country or national thereof has any interest (transaction), where the transaction: involves bulk U.S. sensitive personal data (SPD) or U.S. Government related data, as defined by final rules implementing the Order; falls within a class of transactions that has been determined by the Attorney General to pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States because it may enable access by countries of concern or covered persons to Americans’ bulk SPD or U.S. government-related data; and meets other criteria specified by the Order. On March 5, 2025, the Department of Justice (Department or DOJ), through the National Security Division, issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) setting forth contemplated regulations to implement the Order and seeking public comment.

Abstract

On July 10, 2019, the Commission adopted a Report and Order in MB Docket Nos. 18-202 and 17-105, FCC 19-67, Children’s Television Programming Rules; Modernization of Media Regulation Initiative. Under the Children’s Television Act of 1990 (CTA), the Commission is required to consider, in its review of television license renewals, the extent to which the licensee “has served the educational and informational needs of children through the licensee’s overall programming, including programming specifically designed to serve such needs.” The Commission initially adopted rules implementing the CTA in 1991, and revised these rules in 1996, 2004, and 2006. The Report and Order modernizes the children’s television programming rules in light of the changes to the media landscape that have occurred since the children’s television programming rules were first adopted to provide broadcasters additional scheduling flexibility, allow broadcasters to offer more diverse and innovative educational programming, and relieve unnecessary burdens on broadcasters.

Under the Children’s Television Act of 1990 (CTA), the Commission is required to consider, in its review of television license renewals, the extent to which the licensee “has served the educational and informational needs of children through the licensee’s overall programming, including programming specifically designed to serve such needs.” The Commission initially adopted rules implementing the CTA in 1991, and revised these rules in 1996, 2004, and 2006. In the Report and Order, the Commission revises the children’s television programming rules in light of changes to the media landscape that have occurred since the children’s television programming rules were first adopted. 47 CFR Section 76.1703 requires that cable operators airing children’s programming maintain records sufficient to verify compliance with 47 CFR Section 76.225 and make such records available to the public. Such records must be maintained for a period sufficient to cover the limitations period specified in 47 U.S.C. Section 503(b)(6)(B). In the Report and Order, the Commission revises the rules to permit cable television operators to file their certifications of compliance with the commercial limits in children’s programming annually rather than quarterly and to permit the filing of these certifications within 30 days after the end of the calendar year.
