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.

Organization Designation Authorization-Part 183, Subpart D

Key Information

Abstract

Organizations who wish to begin or continue performing certification functions on behalf of the FAA are mandated to submit information to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on occasion. The FAA reviews submitted application forms to determine whether the applicant meets the qualification requirements necessary to be authorized as a representative of the Administrator. Organizations submit Procedures manuals for approval by the FAA to ensure the organizations utilize the correct processes when performing functions on behalf of the FAA. The management of such activity is provided for in 49 USC 44702(d). Reporting and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to manage the various approvals issued by the organization. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements are necessary to document approvals issued and must be maintained in order to address future safety issues which may arise.

Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport Denial

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) helps state child support agencies (CSA) develop, manage, and operate their programs effectively according to federal law. OCSE operates the Federal Collections Enforcement (FCE) program, which provides limited enforcement services that facilitate collecting past-due child and spousal support. This information collection ensures continued compliance with federal law that requires and governs the Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport Denial programs. The Federal Tax Refund Offset and Administrative Offset programs are conducted by OCSE and the Department of the Treasury’s (U.S. Treasury) Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS). The Passport Denial Program is conducted by OCSE and the U.S. Department of State (DOS). The information collection activities are authorized as follows: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulation requires state CSAs to notify OCSE of any deletion of or change in the debt submitted for federal tax refund offset. U.S. Treasury regulations also require states to notify OCSE of any decrease in or elimination of an amount referred for collection by federal income tax refund offset and by administrative offset within timeframes established by OCSE. 45 CFR 303.72(d)(2); 31 CFR 285.1(g); and 31 CFR 285.3(c)(5). The Federal Tax Refund Offset Program requires state CSAs to submit past-due support case information that meets specific criteria to offset a federal tax refund of a noncustodial parent owing past-due support. 42 U.S.C. §§ 652(b) and 664; 26 U.S.C. § 6402(c); 45 CFR 302.60 and 303.72. The Administrative Offset Program requires state CSAs to submit past-due support case information that meets specific criteria to withhold federal payments, other than federal tax refunds, to a noncustodial parent who owes past-due support. State participation in the Administrative Offset Program is optional, but states opting to participate must comply with federal requirements, including submitting the information required for the proposed collection. 31 U.S.C. § 3716(h); the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-134, April 26, 1996); 31 CFR 285.1 and 285.3. The Passport Denial Program requires state CSAs to submit to DOS past-due support case information that meets specific criteria for the denial, revocation, restriction, or limitation of a passport held by a noncustodial parent who owes past-due support. 42 U.S.C. §§ 654(31) and 652(k); 22 CFR 51.60. State CSAs must submit the Annual Certification Letter to certify that each case submitted to OCSE for the Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport Denial programs meets federal requirements. 42 U.S.C. § 664; 31 CFR 285.1 and 285.3; 42 U.S.C. § 654(31). OCSE made minor formatting enhancements to the FCE Portal screens and removed the option to select gender. These program changes do not impact the burden.

Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau Administrative Activities

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to perform UAC Bureau-related administrative activities, such as facilitating stakeholder visits to care provider facilities; obtaining consent from children to share their case file information; and processing requests and waivers for the hiring of key and non-key personnel at care provider facilities. This request is for revisions to five existing forms in this collection and to remove seven forms, which will be transferred under new Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control numbers (separate requests will be submitted for the new control numbers). Details about the changes are described in section A15 of Supporting Statement A.

Prevention Services Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

Section 471(e) of the Social Security Act (the Act) (42 U.S.C. 671) as amended by Public Law 115-123 allows state and tribal child welfare agencies to receive reimbursement for some of the costs of providing prevention services to certain children and their parents or kin caregivers. The Act requires state and tribal child welfare agencies that provide such services to collect and report to the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) information on children receiving the prevention and family services and programs. States and tribes must report : • The specific services or programs provided, • The total expenditures for each of the services or programs provided, • The duration of the services or programs provided, and • If the child was identified in a prevention plan as a candidate for foster care: o the child's placement status at the beginning, and at the end, of the 12-month period that begins on the date the child was identified as a candidate for foster care in a prevention plan; and o whether the child entered foster care during the initial 12-month period and during the subsequent 12-month period; and • Basic demographic information (e.g., age, sex, race/Hispanic Latino ethnicity). During the first information collection period the Children’s Bureau (CB) had 48 state and tribal jurisdictions opt into the voluntary Title IV-E Prevention Services Program which included opting in to Prevention Services data collection effort. These states and tribes are in various stages of preparing for data collection and submitting data to the CB. Data submission for these states will continue into future reporting periods. During the next reporting period, CB anticipates that approximately five more states and tribes will opt into the voluntary Title IV-E Prevention Services Program, and as a result, will opt into this information collection effort. These states will then begin preparing for and submitting data to the CB. However, since this program is voluntary, this number could fluctuate depending on the individual priorities of child welfare jurisdictions.

OCSE-75 Tribal Child Support Enforcement Program Annual Data Report

Key Information

Abstract

The federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) oversees the administration of 63 comprehensive tribes or tribal organizations that currently operate child support programs. The federal government sets program standards and policy, evaluates tribal program performance, and offers technical assistance and training to the tribes. In its oversight role, the federal government receives data from the tribes through the OCSE-75 Tribal Child Support Enforcement (CSE) Annual Data Report. OCSE then compiles and evaluates this data for presentation in the Annual Report to Congress. The requirements to collect and report information requested on this form are in Sections 452(a)(10) and 455(f) of the Social Security Act and 45 CFR Section 309.170(b). Currently, there are thirteen reporting lines on the OCSE-75 Tribal CSE Data Report form. The form allows tribes and tribal organizations to report program status and accomplishments.

Alternative Reporting Methods for Apprenticeship and Training Plans and Top Hat Plans

Key Information

Abstract

Section 2520.104-22 provides an exemption to the reporting and provision of part 1 of title I of ERISA for employee welfare benefit plans that provide exclusively apprenticeship and training benefits if the plan administrator meets the following requirements: (1) Files a notice with the Secretary that provides the name of the plan, the plan sponsor's Employer Identification Number, the plan administrator's name, and the name and location of an office or person from whom interested individuals can obtain certain info about courses offered by the plan; and (2) takes steps reasonably designed to ensure that the information required to be contained in the notice is disclosed to employees of employers contribution to the plan who may be eligible to enroll in any course of study sponsored or establish by the plan; (3) and makes the notice available to employees upon request. Under 2520.14-23, the Department provides an alternative method of compliance with the reporting and disclosure of Title I of ERISA for unfunded or insured plan established for a select group of management of highly compensated employees (i.e., top hat plans). In order to satisfy the alternative method of compliance, the plan administrator must file a statement with the Secretary of Labor that includes the name and address of the employer, the employer EIN, a declaration that the employer maintains a plan or plans primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, and a statement of the number of such plans and the employees covered by each. Plan documents must be made available to the Secretary upon request, and only one statement needs to be filed for each employer maintaining one or more of the plans. The 2019 final rule requires electronic filing with the Secretary through EBSA's website in accordance with instructions published by the Department.

SSA's Public Credentialing and Authentication Process

Key Information

Abstract

The Social Security Administration's citizen authentication process enables a new user experience and access to more electronic services. Authentication is the foundation for secure, online transactions. Identity authentication is the process of determining, with confidence, that someone is who he or she claims to be during a remote, automated session. It comprises three distinct factors: something you know, something you have, and something you are. Single-factor authentication uses one of the factors, and multi-factor authentication uses two or more of the factors. Social Security's process features credential issuance, account management, and single- and multi-factor authentication. We allow our users to maintain one User ID, which consists of a self-selected Username and Password, to access multiple Social Security electronic services. This process provides the means for authenticating users of Social Security's sensitive electronic services and streamlines access to those services. The respondents are individuals who choose to use the Internet or Automated Telephone Response System to conduct business with SSA. This is an IT Mod Change Request to finally remove the eAccess option for credentialing from the SSA website. As per our previous change, requiring all new users to register a credential with Login.gov or ID.me, and our more recent approved request to remind current eAccess credential holders that we also need them to register through Login.gov or ID.me, we are finally in the last phase - the removal of the eAccess credential option. All respondents will be able to register or request access to their mySocial Security accounts through either Login.gov or ID.me.

Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity and Required Data Elements for the Paternity Establishment Affidavit

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension of an approved information collection: Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity and Required Data Elements for the Paternity Establishment Affidavit (OMB #0970-0171). The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proposing minor changes to the burden estimate as last updated in 2020. Section 466(a)(5)(C) of the Social Security Act requires States to enact laws ensuring a simple civil process for voluntarily acknowledging paternity via an affidavit. The State must provide that, before a mother and putative father can sign a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity, the mother and putative father must be given notice, orally and in writing of the alternatives to, the legal consequences of, and the rights (including any rights, if one parent is a minor, due to minority status) and responsibilities of acknowledging paternity. One affidavit needs to be filled out for each paternity established and the information cannot be provided any less frequently than once to each mother and putative father. The development and use of an affidavit for the voluntary acknowledgment of paternity would include the minimum requirements specified by the Secretary and to give full faith and credit to such an affidavit signed in any other State according to its procedures. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Title IV-E Foster Care Eligibility Reviews, Child and Family Services Reviews

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1123A [42 U.S.C. 1320a-1a] of the Social Security Act (the Act) and regulations at 45 CFR 1355.33(b), 45 CFR 1355.33(c) and 45 CFR 1355.35(a) govern the Child and Family Services Reviews (CFSR). The CFSR looks at both the outcomes related to safety, permanency and well-being of children served by the child welfare system and the assessment of seven systemic factors. The systemic factors refer to systems within a state that, if well-functioning, will support the outcomes. This regulated monitoring process allows ACF to determine whether states are complying with federal child welfare requirements; determine what is happening to children and families; and assist states to enhance their capacity to help children and families achieve positive outcomes. Ultimately, the goal of the CFSR is to help states improve child welfare services by identifying their strengths and areas needing improvement. Three activities are associated with the CFSR collection: a statewide assessment, which is the state’s evaluation of its performance on CFSR outcomes and systemic factors and is used to guide the focus of the onsite review; an on-site review, which involves case record reviews and a joint federal-state team interviewing stakeholders in the state to inform the Children’s Bureau’s (CB) determination of the state’s functioning on the seven systemic factors; and a program improvement plan, which addresses areas in which states are found to be out of conformity with any one of the seven outcomes or seven systemic factors under review. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Generic Performance Progress Reports

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is to extend data collection under the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Generic Program-Specific Performance Progress Report (PPR) (0970-0490). This overarching generic has allowed ACF program offices to collect performance and progress data from recipients who receive funding from ACF under a discretionary award. This information is required under 45 CFR 75.342, monitoring and reporting program performance; 45 CFR 75.301, performance measurement; and the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub.L. 111-352, Sec 12). This current request is for an extension for the overarching generic and ongoing generic information collections under the umbrella. The request also expands the overarching generic to include the collection of performance and progress data from recipients who receive funding from ACF under a non-discretionary award.

Information Comparison with Insurance Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Information Comparison with Insurance Data Match (“Insurance Match”) program is a cooperative effort between the federal Office of Child Support Services (OCSS), states, insurers, and third-party administrators or agents. The information collected for the Insurance Match is necessary to help state child support agencies (“CSAs”) collect past-due support from noncustodial parents. To facilitate the Insurance Match, OCSS uses a centralized, efficient, secure, and cost-effective automated process that compares information about individuals who may receive a payment from an insurance claim, settlement, or award (“claim”) with information in the OCSS Debtor File (OMB #0970-0161, Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport Denial) to identify obligors who owe past-due support. State workers’ compensation agencies and the U.S. Department of Labor also provide OCSS with claim information for collecting past-due child support from noncustodial parents. State agency and insurer participation in the Insurance Match program is voluntary; however, 13 states have specific mandates for insurers to report claims. The Insurance Match program assists with meeting these state mandates. The information collection activities associated with the Insurance Match program are authorized by 42 U.S.C. § 652(a)(9) and (m), which authorizes the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS), to conduct comparisons of information concerning individuals with a child support debt with information that insurers (or their agents) maintain concerning insurance claims. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

As part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328). Section 511 of Title V of the Social Security Act authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to award grants to Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations to conduct an early childhood home visiting program. The legislation sets aside 6 percent of the total Maternal, Infant, Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) appropriation for grants to tribal entities and requires that the tribal grants, to the greatest extent practicable, be consistent with the requirements of the MIECHV grants to states and territories and include conducting a needs assessment and establishing benchmarks. The goals of the Tribal MIECHV program are to support healthy, happy, successful American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children and families through a coordinated, high-quality, evidence-based home visiting program, and to continue to build the evidence base for home visiting in tribal communities. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the agencies collaborating to implement the MIECHV program within HHS, also intend for the program to result in a coordinated system of early childhood home visiting in tribal communities that has the capacity to provide infrastructure and supports to assure high-quality, evidence-based practice. The Tribal Home Visiting discretionary grants support cooperative agreements to conduct community needs assessments; plan for and implement high-quality, evidence-based home visiting programs in at-risk tribal communities; establish, measure, and report on progress toward meeting performance measures in six legislatively mandated benchmark areas; and participate in rigorous evaluation activities to build the knowledge base on home visiting among AI/AN populations. The ACF Office of Early Childhood Development (ECD) developed the Tribal MIECHV Implementation Plan (IP) Guidance and the Community Needs Readiness Assessment (CNRA) guidance to assist grant recipients in developing their home visiting programs and meet the requirements of their cooperative agreements. This request includes proposed revisions that were identified to streamline the reporting process, eliminate unnecessary items, and clarify the requests.

NHTTAC Consultant and Evaluation Package

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) serves as the lead U.S. Department of Health and Human Services agency to combat trafficking and modern forms of slavery by administering anti-trafficking programs through grants and contracts and collaborating with federal, tribal, state, and local governmental and nongovernmental organizations. The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP), a federal agency within ACF, provides leadership over anti-trafficking programs and services under the purview of ACF, including implementation of authorities under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, as amended; Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113‒183); Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114‒22); and the Stop, Observe, Ask, and Respond (SOAR) to Health and Wellness Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–398). In 2016, OTIP, with authority from the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106‒386), Section 106(b), as amended at 22 U.S. Code § 7104 and 22 U.S. Code § 7105(c)(4), established the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC) to build the capacity of health and human services professionals and help prevent, identify, and respond to trafficking. This is an existing collection that allows NHTTAC to assess the ongoing training and technical assistance (T/TA) needs of health and human services professionals in preventing, identifying, and responding to trafficking, and to determine the level of satisfaction with services provided by NHTTAC. This package includes eight instruments to assist with a comprehensive evaluation of NHTTAC’s T/TA events and associated efforts. This collection of information is necessary to enable NHTTAC to collect recipient and partner feedback in an efficient, timely manner and in accordance with OTIP’s commitment to improving service delivery. The information collected from recipients and partners will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with NHTTAC’s T/TA services. This feedback provides insights into recipient or partner perceptions, expectations, and experiences; provides an early warning of issues with T/TA; and focuses attention on areas where communication, training, or changes in operations might improve the delivery of T/TA or the responsiveness of NHTTAC. These collections allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between NHTTAC and its recipients and partners. It also allows feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Home Study and Post-Release Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain lawful immigration status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody while also working to identify and evaluate potential sponsors to take custody of the children post-release. In order to adequately evaluate the suitability of a sponsor and the standard of care they are likely to provide in cases where a child is deemed to be particularly vulnerable due to their age, a medical diagnosis, disability status, trafficking victim status, or other safety concern, ORR will conduct a home-study with the sponsor. An ORR home study includes interviews with the potential sponsor and other household members, as well as an investigation of the living conditions in which the unaccompanied alien child would be placed and occurs prior to the child's physical release. Upon release to the sponsor, and subject to available appropriations, ORR offers post-release services to all cases that have undergone a home study. Post-release services connect sponsors and children with community-based supports to address needs related to education, employment, medical and mental health services, legal services, family stabilization, substance abuse, guardianship, and gang intervention. ORR uses several instruments to facilitate the home study and post-release services referral process, as well as to document the outcomes of these assessments as required by the Homeland Security Act (6 U.S.C. 279), the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232), Foundational Rule, 45 C.F.R. §§410.1204, .1210. Forms transferred from the Administration and Oversight (OMB# 0970-0547) collection were last approved May 18, 2022, and expire on May 31, 2025; forms transferred from Release (OMB# 0970-0552) collection were last approved, and expire April 30, 2027, and forms transferred from the Services (OMB# 0970-0553) collection were last approved by OMB on August 22, 2024 and expire on April 30, 2025. Once approved, the Assessments information collection will contain a total of six (6) unique forms with associated appendices and addendums. An overview of proposed revisions is provided in Section A.15 of Supporting Statement A.

Part 25 of the Federal Communications Commission's Rules Governing the Licensing of, and Spectrum Usage By, Commercial Earth Stations and Space Stations

Key Information

Abstract

On April 21, 2023, the Commission released a Report and Order, FCC 23-29, IB Docket No. 21-456, titled “Revising Spectrum Sharing Rules for Non-Geostationary Orbit, Fixed-Satellite Service Systems.” In this Report and Order, the Commission revised its rules governing spectrum sharing among a new generation of broadband satellite constellations to promote market entry, regulatory certainty, and spectrum efficiency through good-faith coordination. As relevant to this information collection, the Commission adopted rules clarifying protection obligations between non-geostationary satellite orbit, fixed-satellite service (NGSO FSS) systems authorized through different processing rounds by using a degraded throughput methodology. Specifically, the Commission required that, prior to commencing operations, an NGSO FSS licensee or market access recipient must either certify that it has completed a coordination agreement with any operational NGSO FSS system licensed or granted U.S. market access in an earlier processing round, or submit for Commission approval a compatibility showing which demonstrates by use of a degraded throughput methodology that it will not cause harmful interference to any such system with which coordination has not been completed. If an earlier-round system becomes operational after a later-round system has commenced operations, the later-round licensee or market access recipient must submit a certification of coordination or a compatibility showing with respect to the earlier-round system no later than 60 days after the earlier-round system commences operations. The relevant rule revision for purposes of this information collection is the addition of paragraph (d) in 47 C.F.R. § 25.261.

Understanding and Expanding the Reach of Home Visiting (HV-REACH) Project

Key Information

Abstract

The Understanding and Expanding the Reach of Home Visiting (HV-REACH) Project is being conducted by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation in the Administration for Children and Families in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services Administration. As part of this project, this request is for a onetime set of qualitative case studies to describe centralized intake systems, used by seven purposively selected sites that refer families to Early Childhood Home Visiting programs. The research team will conduct virtual or in-person site visits, with semi-structured interviews and document collection, to understand different features of these systems and family and staff experiences with outreach, screening, referrals, and enrollment processes. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Abstract

This is a renewal request. Air carriers, operators that are members of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF), or direct contractors to DoD supporting the President's initiatives are required to respond to this collection and in return receive the benefit of insurance. The FAA uses information submitted by applicants for chapter 443 insurance to identify the eligibility of parties to be insured, the amount of coverage required, and insurance premiums. The information is a voluntary submission but is necessary for an operator or air carrier to obtain FAA insurance coverage. The data is collected on an as-needed basis for each carrier requesting insurance. The information collected is as follows: -Air Carrier POC -Name -Signature -Title -Air Carrier -Name -Business address -Business phone number -Business fax -Business email address -DoD contract number -Insurance policy and certification information: -Type and amount of coverage -Aircraft type -Tail number -Aircraft registration number -Serial number The information is used to issue war risk insurance to air carriers because they cannot obtain insurance through the commercial market. All information is maintained for records to issue policies and in the event of an accident involving one of the air carrier’s aircraft. The collected information is not publicly disseminated.

Electronic Data Exchange (EDE)

Key Information

Abstract

The federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) developed the Electronic Document Exchange (EDE) to give authorized state child support agencies (CSAs) a way to electronically exchange child support case documents to improve the efficiency of child support case processing. The EDE is an application, accessible through the OCSE Child Support Portal (Portal) , that collects, maintains, and disseminates certain child and spousal support case information to help state CSAs administer their child support programs. The activities associated with the EDE application are authorized by 1) 42 U.S.C. § 652(a)(7), which requires OCSE to provide technical assistance to the states to help them establish effective systems for collecting child and spousal support; 2) 42 U.S.C. § 666(c)(1), which requires state CSAs to have expedited procedures to obtain and promptly share information with other state CSAs; and, 3) 45 CFR 303.7(a)(5), which requires states to transmit requests for child support case information and provide requested information electronically to the greatest extent possible. This request is for a revision of a currently approved collection. Based on actual participation, the number of EDE users and the number of documents exchanged increased since the previous approval. This constitutes a program change that required adjustments to both the burden hour and cost estimates. OCSE made minor enhancements to the EDE Portal screens. These changes do not impact the burden.

Access to Multiemployer Plan Information

Key Information

Abstract

Section 101(k)(1) of ERISA requires multiemployer plan administrators to furnish certain documents to any plan participant, beneficiary, employee representative, or any employer that has an obligation to contribute to the plan upon written request. The Department issued a final rule that implements the disclosure requirements of ERISA section 101(k) on March 2, 2010 (75 FR 9334). The documents that may be requested are: (1) A copy of any periodic actuarial report (including sensitivity testing) received by the plan for any plan year which has been in the plan's possession for at least 30 days; (2) a copy of any quarterly, semi-annual, or annual financial report prepared for the plan by any plan investment manager or advisor or other fiduciary that has been in the plan's possession for at least 30 days; and (3) a copy of any application filed with the Secretary of the Treasury requesting an extension under section 304 of ERISA (or section 431(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) and the determination of such Secretary pursuant to such application. The information collection provisions of this final regulation are found in 29 CFR 2520.101-6(a), which requires multiemployer defined benefit and defined contribution pension plan administrators to furnish copies of certain actuarial and financial documents to plan participants, beneficiaries, employee representatives, and contributing employers upon request. This information constitutes a third-party disclosure from the administrator to participants, beneficiaries, employee representatives, and contributing employers for purposes of the PRA. Pursuant to §  2520.101-6(d)(5), the documents required to be disclosed shall not contain any information that the plan administrator reasonably determines to be either: (i) Individually identifiable information regarding any plan participant, beneficiary, employee, fiduciary, or contributing employer, except that such limitation shall not apply to an investment manager or adviser, or with respect to any other person (other than an employee of the plan) preparing a financial report described in paragraph §  2520.101-6(c)(2); or (ii) proprietary information regarding the plan, any contributing employer, or entity providing services to the plan. The plan administrator must inform the requester if any such information is withheld.

Formative Data Collections for ACF Research

Key Information

Abstract

ACF programs promote the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities. OPRE studies ACF programs, and the populations they serve, through rigorous research and evaluation projects. These include evaluations of existing programs, evaluations of innovative approaches to helping low income children and families, research syntheses, and descriptive and exploratory studies. OPRE’s research offers further understanding of current programs and service populations, explores options for program improvement, and assesses alternative policy and program designs. OPRE anticipates undertaking a variety of new research projects related to welfare, employment and self-sufficiency, Head Start, child care, healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood, family and youth services, home visiting, child welfare, trafficking, community services, and other areas of interest to ACF. Some ACF program offices conduct their own research and evaluation projects. Under this generic clearance, ACF engages in a variety of formative data collections with researchers, practitioners, TA providers, service providers and potential participants throughout the field to fulfill the following goals: (1) inform the development of ACF research, (2) maintain a research agenda that is rigorous and relevant, (3) ensure that research products are as current as possible and (4) inform the provision of technical assistance and supports around research and evaluation. ACF envisions using a variety of techniques including semi-structured discussions, focus groups, surveys, and telephone or in-person interviews, in order to reach these goals. Under this request, ACF seeks continued approval to collect information from more than 9 respondents that can inform and support future and current research but that are not highly systematic or intended to be statistically representative or otherwise generalizable. This request is for a revision. Specifically, we request to extend approval of the umbrella generic with no changes to the overall terms or scope. We have updated the request to reflect burden for the next three years (no changes from estimates for the previous three years), include ongoing generic information collections (GenIC) that have been approved and are still in process, and to update one previously approved GenIC that was originally approved prior to the last extension request in 2021. The updates to the one GenIC are to ensure the information provided is still accurate.

Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to expand benefits and services to victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons in the United States (U.S.), without regard to their immigration status. The TVPA also authorizes HHS to establish and strengthen programs to assist United States citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced sex trafficking or severe forms of trafficking in persons (22 U.S.C. § 7105(f)(1)). Acting under a delegation of authority from the Secretary of HHS, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) awards cooperative agreements to organizations to establish a program to assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced human trafficking through the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program. The central purpose of the DVHT Program is to connect survivors with the services they need to improve their well-being and health outcomes. Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking Program Data (OMB #0970-0542) is an active and approved collection of client-level data on those served through the DVHT Program. The information collected allows ACF to evaluate service delivery efforts, inform prevention programming, and monitor program outcomes. In addition to client-level data, information on the type and cost of services provided through the program is collected to enable ACF to respond to congressional inquiries related to program spending and to provide technical assistance to grant recipients on managing available funding for individuals and households enrolled in the program. DVHT currently inclusive of two distinct award programs: the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking and Services Outreach Program (DVHT-SO) and the Demonstration Grants to Strengthen the Response to Victims of Human Trafficking in Native Communities (VHT-NC) Program. The performance indicators and data collection instruments under OMB #0970-0542 apply to both DVHT programs. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

ACF’s Generic Clearance for Reviewer Recruitment Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This request by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is to extend approval of the generic clearance for Reviewer Recruitment Forms with no changes (note that burden estimates have been updated to reflect ongoing collections and estimated future burden, but the purpose and use of this generic have not changed). ACF may recruit reviewers for a variety of different activities and each program office within ACF has a slightly different needs for information about reviewer applicants for different activities. This overarching generic clearance allows ACF to request slightly different information from potential reviewers, yet the individual forms serve the same general function. The abbreviated clearance process of the generic clearance allows program offices to gather a suitable pool of candidates within the varied time periods available for reviewer recruitment. The forms submitted under this umbrella generic are and will be voluntary, low-burden and uncontroversial. Information will be collected electronically unless specified otherwise in an individual generic information collection (GenIC) request.
