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.

Rule 17a-5, Form X-17A-5 (FOCUS REPORT)

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 17 CFR 240. 17a-5, is a reporting rule for broker-dealers. The Commission recently amended Rule 17a-5 to require annual audited reports and related annual filings to be filed electronically in Inline XBRL through the Commission’s EDGAR system. The filings were previously made either in paper, via email, or voluntarily on the EDGAR system as PDF documents. The Commission is also allowing electronic signatures in Rule 17a-5 filings, which includes the FOCUS Report. The Commission is amending the instructions to Parts II, IIC, and IIA of the FOCUS Report to allow only one named officer’s signature when the signature belongs to the firm’s principal executive officer or principal financial officer (or their comparable officers). Finally, the Commission is making corrective and clarifying amendments to FOCUS Report Part II, technical amendments to FOCUS Report Part IIA and amendments to FOCUS Report Part IIC for consistency with FFIEC Form 031, which FOCUS Report Part IIC is modelled on. None of these amendments are expected to impact the ongoing burden of filing FOCUS Report Parts II, IIA or IIC.

Federal funding for the public housing program is authorized by Section 9 of the Act. A State, or other properly delegated local authority, such as a city, county, or parish, may periodically act to turn the public housing of one PHA over to another PHA or act to combine two or more PHAs into one, multijurisdictional PHA. HUD must be informed in order to (1) perfect its security interest in the public housing, (2) ensure the continued use of the housing as public housing, and (3) guarantee that Federal funding is paid to the proper PHA on behalf of the public housing actually owned by the PHA..

As established by Section 1851 of the Act, and implementing regulations at §§ 422.50 and 422.60, an MA-eligible individual who meets the eligibility requirements for enrollment into an MA plan may enroll during the enrollment periods specified in §422.62, by completing an enrollment form with the MA organization or enrolling through other mechanisms that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) determines are appropriate. In addition, the authority for requiring this data collection for PDP enrollment is section 1860D-1 of the Act, and implementing regulations at §§ 423.30 and 423.32, a Part D-eligible individual who wishes to enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) may enroll during the enrollment periods specified in §423.38, by completing an enrollment form with the PDP, or enrolling through other mechanisms CMS determines are appropriate. We are proposing changes to the current, standard (“long”) model enrollment form which will yield a beneficiary-focused model form to simplify the enrollment process.

Key Information

Abstract

On August 21, 2024, the Federal Communications Commission (“Commission” or “FCC”) adopted a Report and Order, Spectrum Rules and Policies for the Operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems, FCC 24-91, in WT Docket No. 22-323 (Report and Order), establishing rules for Non-networked Access (NNA) in the Uncrewed Aircraft System Services (UASS), to enable uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operators to obtain direct frequency assignments in a portion of the 5030-5091 MHz band for protected wireless communications between UAS operators on the ground and uncrewed aircraft (UA) for flight control and telemetry. Under the new rules, incorporated in a new rule part, part 88, operators' use of the spectrum designated for NNA (the 5040-5060 MHz portion of the 5030-5091 MHz band) will be authorized and coordinated by one or more dynamic frequency management systems (DFMSs). UAS operators must register with a Commission-approved DFMS, and then may request short-term frequency assignments in the NNA spectrum from the DFMS. UAS operators may transmit in the NNA spectrum only using rule-compliant NNA stations and only pursuant to and consistent with the terms of a frequency assignment from a DFMS.

Medical Expenditure Panel Survey - Insurance Component (MEPS-IC)

Key Information

Abstract

In 2021 employer-sponsored health insurance was the source of coverage for 90.5 million current and former workers, plus many of their family members, and is a cornerstone of the U.S. health care system. The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey – Insurance Component (MEPS-IC) measures the extent, cost, and coverage of employer-sponsored health insurance on an annual basis. These statistics are produced at the National, State, and sub-State (metropolitan area) level for private industry. Statistics are also produced for State and Local governments. This research has the following goals: 1) to provide data for Federal policymakers evaluating the effects of National and State health care reforms. 2) to provide descriptive data on the current employer-sponsored health insurance system and data for modeling the differential impacts of proposed health policy initiatives. 3) to supply critical State and National estimates of health insurance spending for the National Health Accounts and Gross Domestic Product.

Madrid Protocol

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information is required by the Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., which provides for the Federal registration of trademarks, service marks, collective trademarks and service marks, collective membership marks, and certification marks. The Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks (Madrid Protocol) is an international treaty that allows a trademark owner to seek registration in any of the participating countries by filing a single international application. The International Bureau (IB) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva, Switzerland, administers the international registration system. The Madrid Protocol Implementation Act of 2002 amended the Trademark Act to provide that: (1) The owner of a U.S. application or registration may seek protection of its mark in any of the participating countries by submitting a single international application through the USPTO and (2) the holder of an international registration may request an extension of protection of the international registration to the United States. The Madrid Protocol came into effect in the United States on November 2, 2003, and is implemented under 15 U.S.C. 1141 et seq. and 37 CFR parts 2 and 7. Individuals and businesses that use or intend to use such marks in commerce may file an application to register the marks with the USPTO. Both the register and the information provided in pending applications for registration can be accessed by the public in order to determine the availability of a mark and lessen the likelihood of initiating the use of a mark previously adopted by another.

Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, and Medicare Fee-For-Service Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Survey (CMS-R-246)

Key Information

Abstract

CMS has fielded the MA (Consumer Assessment of Health Care Providers and Systems) CAHPS Survey annually since 1998, the Medicare FFS CAHPS Survey annually since 2000, and the MA DP and Stand Alone PDP CAHPS survey annually since 2006. The Medicare CAHPS is a national survey of health and prescription drug plans conducted at the contract level for MA, MA PD and Stand Alone PDP plans and at the state level for Medicare fee-for-service. Medicare CAHPS provides data to permit preparation of plan performance measures to assist Medicare beneficiaries in their selection of a health and/or prescription drug plan and help policymakers and others assist the Medicare program and Medicare plans design and monitor patient-centered quality improvement initiatives. The 2009 Call letter for MA and MA PD plans requires these plans to contract with private vendors from a list selected by CMS to conduct the 2011 Medicare CAHPS survey for their plan at the contract level and provide the collected data to CMS for analyses and preparation of CAHPS measures for use in consumer and plan reports and for quality improvement purposes for MA, MA PD, and Stand Alone PDP plans. CMS will continue to collect the Medicare FFS CAHPS data from surveys at the state and some sub-state levels. This revision to a currently approved collection is to add questions focusing on care coordination. The Medicare CAHPS survey has taken the OMB No. 0935-0732.

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Joint Quarterly Narrative Performance Report

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection includes data validation for the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), and a streamlined quarterly narrative report template to support the 1) reporting, 2) recordkeeping, and 3) program evaluation requirements for the following grant programs: National Dislocated Worker Grants (DWG), H-1B grant programs (started July 1, 2016 or later), National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP), Reentry Employment Opportunities (REO) youth and adult grant programs, SCSEP, and YouthBuild (YB). This information collection does not increase the burden on grantees. SCSEP data validation assesses the accuracy of data collected and reported to ETA on program activities and outcomes. The accuracy and reliability of program reports submitted by states and grantees using federal funds are fundamental elements of good public administration, and are necessary tools for maintaining and demonstrating system integrity. The data validation requirement for employment and training programs strengthens the workforce system by ensuring that accurate and reliable information on program activities and outcomes is available. The WIOA Joint Quarterly Narrative Performance Report provides a detailed account of program activities, accomplishments, and progress toward performance outcomes during the quarter. It also provides information on grant challenges and timeline progress, as well as the opportunity to share success stories. Grantees currently provide quarterly narrative reports through ETA-provided, Web-based management systems that already exist and are currently in use by the grantees, or by email to Federal Project Officers where such systems do not exist. Additionally, the use of standardized narrative reports supports Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) implementation and assists in identifying areas of technical assistance need consistently across the discretionary programs that are reporting on WIOA performance indicators. The use of a consistent narrative template furthers the goals of WIOA around system alignment and consistency of reporting, which helps to improve the quality of performance information that is received by ETA.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Use Agreement (DUA) Limited Data Set (LDS) Forms Research Identifiable Files (FIF) Forms (CMS-R-235)

Key Information

Abstract

CMS is permitted to disclose data files for approved research purposes in compliance with 45 45 CFR 164.512(i). Researchers requesting research identifiable files (RIF) must, as part of the request process, complete a research request packet that provides CMS with information pertaining to the research study, including describing how the research results/findings will be disseminated, as well as the data files being requested. Should CMS approve the research request, the data requestor enters into a Data Use Agreement (DUA). This data collection is necessary to ensure that disclosures of data for research purposes comply with federal laws and regulations as well as CMS policy. Researchers requesting RIF files also must complete a Data Management Plan Self-Attestation Questionnaire (DMP SAQ). A DMP SAQ is required each time a DUA is established. Both the DUA and the DMP SAQ forms are valid for one year from the date of approval and are renewable at expiration. If the environment described in a DMP SAQ is the same for multiple DUAs from a single organization, the same DMP SAQ can be used across the DUAs, provided it has not expired. The DMP SAQ is a technical, evidence basedevidence-based questionnaire that DUA users must complete as part of the data request packet. The DMP SAQ will enable CMS to evaluate researcher data systems to ensure that CMS data are adequately secured and appropriately protected, as per the Privacy Act and the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The DMP SAQ also allows CMS to measure compliance through the implementation of security and privacy controls as outlined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53 and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Information Security and Acceptable Risk Safeguards (ARS). The second component of the DMP SAQ is to provide ongoing oversight. All organizations will be subject to routine audits of the environments used to store and process CMS data, as described in their organizational-level DMP SAQ.
