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.

[NCHS] National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Rapid Surveys System (RSS)

Key Information

Abstract

The Rapid Surveys System is a series of surveys designed to support three major goals: 1) to provide CDC and other partners with time-sensitive data of known quality about emerging and priority health concerns, 2) to use these data collections to continue NCHS’ learning and evaluation of the quality of public health estimates generated from commercial online panels, and 3) to improve methods to appropriately communicate the fitness for use of public health estimates generated from commercial online panels. representativeness and accuracy. Each survey will be informed by consultation across CDC components and other partners. This Non substantive Change Request seeks approval for Round 7 of the Rapid Survey System (RSS). Content includes barriers to access for lung cancer screening, GLP-1 prescriptions and usage, Lyme disease prevention methods, and complementary and integrative health. Per OMB Terms of Clearance a 30d FRN was published on 6/11/2025. The burden hours requested is already included in the 28,079 approved burden hours for the 0920-1408 package.

OPTN Ventilated Patient Forms

Key Information

Abstract

Section 372 of the Public Health Service Act requires that the Secretary of HHS, by awards, provide for the establishment and operation of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), which, under oversight of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), operates the U.S. organ procurement and transplantation system. The Secretary/HRSA may direct the collection of data in accordance with the regulatory authority in 42 CFR 121.11 of the OPTN Final Rule. HRSA, in alignment with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, submits data elements for collection to OMB for official federal approval. HRSA is submitting this new data collection, separate from OMB No. 0915-0157, since it includes new forms developed in response to an HHS Secretarial Data Directive that are not in use by OPTN. HRSA believes that separating these data collections will minimize confusion, increase clarity among OPTN members and stakeholders, and enable more direct feedback on the new forms. Both data collections include time-sensitive, life-critical data on transplant candidates and potential organ donor patients, the organ matching process, histocompatibility results, organ labeling and packaging, as well as pre- and post-transplantation data on recipients and donors. The OPTN collects these specific data elements from transplant centers.

Key Information

Abstract

In accordance with section 213 of the Federal Power Act and 18 CFR 141.300, FERC requires each transmitting utility that operates integrated transmission system facilities rated above 100 kilovolts (kV) to submit the following information annually: (1) base case power flow data (if the respondent does not participate in the development and use of regional power flow data); (2) transmission system maps and diagrams used by the respondent for transmission planning; (3) a description of the transmission planning reliability criteria used to evaluate system performance for time frames and planning horizons used in regional and corporate planning; (4) a description of the respondent’s transmission planning assessment practices (including, but not limited to, how reliability criteria are applied and the steps taken in performing transmission planning studies); and (5) an evaluation of the respondent’s anticipated system performance as measured against its stated reliability criteria using its stated assessment practices. The information helps the Commission's Office of Electric Reliability to review rates and charges, jurisdictional facilities, consolidations and mergers, adequacy of energy supply, and the reliability of the nation's grid. It also helps the Commission resolve transmission disputes.

FERC-725K, Mandatory Reliability Standards for the SERC Region

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) requests that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review and renew the information collection requirements in FERC-725K under OMB Control No. 1902-0260. Regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-SERC-03 was developed to be consistent with the NERC Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding (UFLS) Reliability Standard PRC-006-3. Regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-SERC-03 was designed to ensure that automatic UFLS protection schemes designed by planning coordinators and implemented by applicable distribution providers and transmission owners in the SERC Region are coordinated to effectively mitigate the consequences of an underfrequency event. The regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-SERC-02 added specificity not contained in the NERC UFLS Reliability Standard for UFLS schemes in the SERC Region. Regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-SERC-02 effectively mitigates (in conjunction with NERC Reliability Standard PRC-006-3) the consequences of an underfrequency event while accommodating differences in system transmission and distribution topology among SERC planning coordinators resulting from historical design criteria, makeup of load demands, and generation resources. Under the regional Reliability Standard, the information is used to ensure compliance with requirements associated with underfrequency load shedding plans. Without this information, it would be difficult to enforce compliance with the regional standard. A lack of compliance with this regional standard may lead to uncontrolled failure of the Interconnection.

Supportive Housing & Individual Placement and Support (SHIPS) Study

Key Information

Abstract

The SHIPS study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to determine whether participation in Individual Placement and Support (IPS) improves the employment, income, health, and self-sufficiency of people who are recently homeless and living in supportive housing. The SHIPS study will mark the first study testing the effectiveness of implementing IPS in a supportive housing program. SSA hypothesizes that combining the two most successful evidence-based practices that separately address homelessness and supported employment will yield a single intervention that effectively addresses both. The intent of the SHIPS study is to measure the effectiveness of evidence-based IPS compared to the services provided by local WorkSource Centers broadly available to jobseekers in the Los Angeles area, The housing case managers will refer PATH clients interested in finding employment and will randomly assign participants to one of two groups: 1. IPS: The Individual Placement and Support (IPS) service team will offer a range of structured services customized to participants’ personal needs, preferences, and challenges related to disabilities and/or mental health conditions. IPS was specifically designed as a supported employment model for individuals with serious mental illness and includes standardized training and fidelity requirements. Components of IPS that differ from those offered by WorkSource Services include integrated treatment that incorporates vocational and mental health services; benefits planning; and focus on rapid job search without extensive training. 2. WorkSource Centers: Under PATH’s current housing model, housing case managers refer PATH clients who express interest in finding employment to local American Job Centers, known as WorkSource Centers in Los Angeles. The WorkSource Centers are operated by the City of Los Angeles Economic and Workforce Development Department, and follow an employment services model that varies by WorkSource Center, is not evidence-based or subject to fidelity monitoring and is not necessarily responsive to the individual needs of jobseekers with disabilities.

Rule 204-3, Delivery of brochures and brochure supplements

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 204-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (17 CFR 275.204-3) requires SEC-registered investment advisers to deliver written disclosure statements ("brochures and brochure supplements") to clients and prospective clients containing specified information about the adviser's background, business practices, services, fees, and key supervised personnel. The SEC needs this information collection to ensure investors receive information necessary to make informed decisions about retaining or continuing to employ investment advisers, while the SEC uses the disclosed information in its enforcement, regulatory, and examination programs to monitor adviser compliance and protect investors. Respondents are SEC-registered investment advisers who must deliver current brochures before or when entering into advisory contracts, provide annual updates when there are material changes, deliver brochure supplements for key supervised personnel, and promptly notify clients of disciplinary information changes. This collection fulfills a disclosure requirement where investment advisers provide the brochures and supplements directly to their clients and prospective clients. The brochure is filed with the SEC electronically on IARD, but the brochure supplements are not. The SEC reviews these disclosure documents during examinations to assess compliance with investor protection requirements.

Key Information

Abstract

The final rule "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Annual Eligibility Redeterminations for Exchange Participation and Insurance Affordability Programs; Health Insurance Issuer Standards Under the Affordable Care Act, Including Standards Related to Exchanges", provides that a Marketplace may choose to conduct the annual redetermination process for a plan year (1) in accordance with the existing procedures described in 45 CFR 155.335; (2) in accordance with procedures described in guidance issued by the Secretary for the coverage year; or (3) using an alternative proposed by the Marketplace and approved by the Secretary. The guidance document "Guidance on Annual Redeterminations for Coverage for 2015" contains the procedures that the Secretary is specifying for the 2015 coverage year, as noted in (2) above. These procedures will be adopted by the Federally-facilitated Marketplace. Under this option, the Marketplace will provide three notices. The final rule also amends the requirements for product renewal and re-enrollment (or nonrenewal) notices to be sent by Qualified Health Plan (QHP) issuers in the Exchanges and specifies content for these notices. The accompanying guidance document "Form and Manner of Notices When Discontinuing or Renewing a Product in the Group or Individual Market" provides standard notices for product discontinuation and renewal to be sent by issuers of QHPs and issuers in the individual market. Issuers in the small group market may use the draft Federal standard small group notices released in the June 26, 2014 bulletin "Draft Standard Notices When Discontinuing or Renewing a Product in the Small Group or Individual Market", or any forms of the notice otherwise permitted by applicable laws and regulations. States that are enforcing the Affordable Care Act may develop their own standard notices, for product discontinuances, renewals, or both, provided the State-developed notices are at least as protective as the Federal standard notices.

Quality Measures and Administrative Procedures for the Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing Program and Quality Reporting Program for the FY 2025 SNF PPS Proposed Rule (CMS-10895)

Key Information

Abstract

Abstract (2000 characters maximum) The Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) Program is authorized by section 1888(h) of the Social Security Act (the Act), and it applies to freestanding SNFs, SNFs affiliated with acute care facilities, and all non-Critical Access Hospital (CAH) swing-bed rural hospitals. Beginning with payment for services furnished on October 1, 2018, section 1888(h) of the Act requires the Secretary to reduce the adjusted Federal per diem rate determined under section 1888(e)(4)(G) of the Act otherwise applicable to a SNF for services furnished during a fiscal year (FY) by 2 percent, and to adjust the resulting rate for a SNF by the value-based incentive payment amount earned by the SNF based on the SNF’s Performance Score for that FY under the SNF VBP Program. Through the SNF VBP Program, incentive payments are awarded to SNFs to encourage improvements in the quality of care provided to Medicare beneficiaries. The Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Reporting Program (SNF QRP) is authorized by section 1888(e)(6) of the Act, and it applies to freestanding SNFs, SNFs affiliated with acute care facilities, and all non-CAH swing-bed rural hospitals. Section 1888(e)(6)(A)(i) of the Act requires the Secretary to reduce by 2 percentage points the otherwise applicable Annual Payment Update (APU) to a SNF for a FY if the SNF does not comply with the requirements of the SNF QRP for that FY. Section 1888(e)(6)(B)(i)(II) of the Act requires that each SNF submit data on quality measures specified under section 1899B(c)(1) of the Act and data on resource use and other measures specified under section 1899B(d)(1) of the Act in a manner and within the timeframes specified by the Secretary. In addition, section 1888(e)(6)(B)(i)(III) of the Act requires, for FYs beginning on or after October 1, 2018, that each SNF submit standardized patient assessment data required under section 1899B(b)(1) of the Act in a manner and within the timeframes specified by the Secretary. Section 1888(h)(12)(A) of the Act (as added by section 111(a)(4) of Division CC of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116–260)), requires the Secretary to apply a process to validate data submitted under the SNF VBP Program and the SNF QRP.

46 CFR Part 531, NVOCC Service Arrangements

Key Information

Abstract

Section 16 of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40103, authorizes the Federal Maritime Commission to exempt by rule “any class of agreements between persons subject to this Act or any specified activity of those persons from any requirement of this Act if it finds that the exemption will not result in substantial reduction in competition or be detrimental to commerce. The Commission may attach conditions to any exemption and may, by order, revoke any exemption.” The Commission added 46 CFR 531 to exempt non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs) from the more stringent tariff rate publication requirements of the Shipping Act of 1984 and related provisions of the Commission’s regulations to permit them to enter into contracts with shippers similar to ocean common carrier service contracts. 69 FR 75850 (Dec. 20, 2004). The exemption was conditioned upon the filing of NVOCC service arrangements (NSAs) with the Commission by the NVOCC offering the service; publication of the essential terms of NSAs; and confidential treatment of NSAs. In addition, NVOCCs were required to maintain NSAs and associated records for five years. In 2018, the Commission provided further relief of regulatory burdens on NVOCC by removing the NSA filing requirements effective August 22, 2018. (83 FR 34780) The filing exemption is conditioned upon the licensed NVOCC including a prominent notice invoking the exemption in its electronically published rules tariff and indicating their intention to the Commission. NVOCCs must continue to maintain original NSAs and associated records for 5 years in a format easily produced to the Commission, and provide those records promptly upon request from the Commission. NVOCCs wishing to invoke the exemption must: Including the terms listed in 46 CFR 531.6(b) in their NSA; Abide by the prohibitions in 46 CFR 531.6(c); Assign a unique NSA number to each agreement (46 CFR531.6(d)); Provide electronic access to its rules tariffs to the public free of charge (46 CFR 531.4(a); Indicate their intention to invoke the exemption by including a prominent notice on its rules tariff (46 CFR 531.4(b); Maintain original NSAs, amendments, and their associated records for five years from the termination of each NSA in a format that is readily available and useable by Commission (46 CFR 531.12(a)); and Provide those records to the agency upon a written request from the Commission (46 CFR 531.12(b)).

Key Information

Abstract

Section 16 of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. § 40103, authorizes the Federal Maritime Commission (“Commission”) to exempt by order or regulation “any class of agreements between persons subject to this [Act] or any specified activity of those persons from any requirement of this [Act] if the Commission finds that the exemption will not result in substantial reduction in competition or be detrimental to commerce. The Commission may attach conditions to any exemption and may, by order, revoke an exemption.” The Commission added 46 CFR 532 to exempt non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs) from the more stringent tariff rate publication requirements of the Shipping Act of 1984 and related provisions of the Commission’s regulations to permit them to enter into negotiated rate arrangements (NRAs) with shippers.76 FR 11351 (March 2, 2011). The Commission subsequently extended the tariff rate publication exemption contained in 46 CFR part 532 to foreign based unlicensed NVOCCs as well. 78 FR 42886 (July 10, 2013). The exemption is conditioned upon the NVOCC including a prominent notice invoking the exemption in its electronically published rules tariff and indicating their intention to the Commission. In addition, NVOCCs must maintain original NRAs and associated records for 5 years in a format easily produced to the Commission and furnish those records promptly upon request from the Commission. An NVOCC invoking the exemption must: Include its rates in a tariff open to public inspection (46 CFR 532.3(a)(1); Comply with 46 USC 40501(d) and (e) (46 CFR 532.3(b) and (c)); Comply with 46 USC 40503 (46 CFR 532.3(d); Adhere to the prohibitions in 46 USC 41104(a)(2)(A) (46 CFR 532.3(e); Include its rates in a tariff open for public inspection in an automated tariff system (46 CFR 532.3(f); Comply with 46 CFR 520.4(a)(4), 520.4(f), 520.6(e), 520.7(c) and (d), 520.8(a), 520.12, and 520.14 (46 CFR 523..3(g); Ensure their NRA meets the requirements of 46 CFR 532.5; Indicate their intention to the Commission and the public to invoke the exemption by a prominent notice in its rules tariff (46 CFR 532.6); Maintain original NRAs in a readily accessible and retrievable manner for 5 years from the completion date of performance of the NRA (46 CFR 532.7; and Promptly respond to requests by the Commission for those records (46 CFR 532.7).

Upload Documents (eSubmit)

Key Information

Abstract

SSA is introducing Upload Documents (eSubmit), a new way individuals can submit evidence and forms to SSA online. In the digital age, individuals expect to complete transactions online, including submission of documents and forms to government agencies. The agency already offers several self-service specific options for individuals to submit forms and other documents online, including the Electronic Protective Filing Tool, ePFT (OMB No. 0960-0826), Internet Social Security Benefits Application, iClaim (OMB No. 0960-0618), and iAppeals (OMB No. 0960 0269 & 0960-0622). Upload Documents (eSubmit) is a secure upload portal which respondents will use to submit documents and forms to SSA. To ensure the success of Upload Documents (eSubmit), we will roll out the new application in several phases. The first phase will allow respondents to provide select documents (evidence that does not need to be certified or evidence which the agency does not require to be an original, also known collectively as ‘‘non original documentation,’’ and first-party forms that do not require a signature) to SSA electronically. Individuals must provide this information themselves since they will have to authenticate with their own information through one of several authentication methods (i.e., Login.gov, ID.me, or SSA’s Public Credentialing and Authentication Process). During this initial release for Upload Documents (eSubmit), we will contact the respondent, via telephone or face-to-face interview with SSA, for a business matter (e.g., filing a claim, performing a redetermination, or updating their personal information). During the interaction, the SSA technician will inform the individual verbally that SSA requires additional information to support their request and will offer the opportunity to provide the information electronically via the Upload Documents (eSubmit) application. After the respondent grants consent to SSA, we will generate a one-time email containing a link to Upload Documents (eSubmit) with instructions on how to access Upload Documents (eSubmit). The system will only make the electronic submission process available within 30 days from the date of the email. Concurrently, the technician will print a paper notice containing more details about the request, including any applicable due process deadline for submission, and will send it through postal mail to the respondent. Once the respondent authenticates and arrives at the Upload Documents (eSubmit) dashboard, the system will present the respondent with information regarding the items SSA requested for submission (examples of the documentation SSA may request include forms or non-standardized evidence to support the request [e.g., pay stubs, bank statements, pension award letters, tax documents, child support payment history, etc.]). From this screen, the individual will be able to upload the corresponding files from an electronic device. Once they finish uploading the documents, the respondents must select the Submit button to complete the action and the system will present them with an indicator of success or failure. The system will notify the technician through the Technician Experience Dashboard (TED) when the document is available for review and consideration. The second release of Upload Documents (eSubmit) will include an electronic signature functionality that will allow respondents to submit some forms requiring signature. To ensure our system is prepared to accept forms electronically signed in this manner, we will complete periodic future releases after the second release to allow Upload Documents (eSubmit) to accept more agency forms in the future. Respondents are first-party individuals who choose to use the Internet to conduct business with SSA.
