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.

Key Information

Abstract

This submission is being made for proposed non-substantive changes to the existing information collection 3060-0819 pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507.

Incarcerated People’s Communications Services (IPCS) Provider Annual Reporting, Certification, and Other Requirements, WC Docket Nos. 23-62, 12-375

Key Information

Abstract

In 2015, the Wireline Competition Bureau, pursuant to its delegated authority, created a standardized reporting template, as well as instructions to guide providers through the reporting process. The Commission required an officer of each provider to certify annually as to the accuracy of the data and other information submitted in the providers' Annual Reports. In 2023, the President signed into law the Martha Wright-Reed Act, significantly expanding the Commission’s jurisdiction over incarcerated people’s communications services (IPCS) and directing the Commission to “establish a compensation plan to . . . ensure just and reasonable charges for telephone and advanced communications services in correctional and detention facilities.” In the 2024 IPCS Order, the Commission, among other things, modified the scope and content of the requirements for the annual reports and certifications to reflect the Martha Wright-Reed Act’s expansion of Commission authority over other communications services in carceral facilities to include video IPCS and certain other advanced communications services, as well as intrastate IPCS, and the providers that offer these services. The Commission also adopted new rules concerning disability access, inactive accounts, and alternate pricing plans. Further, the Commission revised and strengthened existing consumer disclosure and waiver process requirements.

Medicare Transaction Facilitator for 2026 and 2027 under Sections 11001 and 11002 of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) (CMS-10912)

Key Information

Abstract

Under the authority in sections 11001 and 11002 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-169), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is implementing the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program (“the Negotiation Program”), codified in sections 1191 through 1198 of the Social Security Act (“the Act”). The Act establishes the Negotiation Program to negotiate a maximum fair price (“MFP”), defined at section 1191(c)(3) of the Act, for certain high expenditure, single source drugs covered under Medicare Part B and Part D (“selected drugs”). In accordance with section 1193(a) of the Act, any Primary Manufacturer of a selected drug that continues to participate in the Negotiation Program and reaches agreement upon an MFP must provide access to the MFP to MFP-eligible individuals, defined in section 1191(c)(2)(A) of the Act, and to pharmacies, mail order services, other dispensing entities, providers and suppliers with respect to such MFP-eligible individuals who are dispensed that selected drug during a price applicability period. The purpose of this information collection request (ICR) is for CMS to collect information from manufacturers of drugs covered under Part D selected for negotiation under the Inflation Reduction Act for the initial price applicability years 2026 and 2027 and the dispensing entities that dispense the selected drugs to MFP-eligible individuals. To facilitate the effectuation of the MFP, CMS will engage a Medicare Transaction Facilitator (“MTF”). The MTF system will be comprised of two modules: the MTF Data Module (MTF DM), and the MTF Payment Module (MTF PM). Primary Manufacturers participating in the Negotiation Program are required to participate in the MTF DM.

Key Information

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) is entitled Information Collection Activities Associated with SmartWay Transport Partnership, EPA ICR number 2265.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0663. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created the SmartWay Transport Partnership (SmartWay) to help businesses and individuals protect the environment, improve air quality, and maximize the energy efficiency of their transportation and logistics management choices. SmartWay is a voluntary program that focuses on increasing efficiency and lowering emissions generated by goods movement. EPA encourages businesses that transport and move goods to adopt energy-efficient strategies and technologies that reduce fuel use, air pollution, and energy costs. EPA administers a streamlined reporting process for organizations that join SmartWay and has created incentives for improvement such as the SmartWay Excellence Awards Program. EPA also makes reporting tools and other resources available on the Internet to help SmartWay partners evaluate and track their environmental performance and the value of investing in transportation management year-over-year improvements. This ICR examines the information collected under SmartWay from organizations active in the transportation sector. Sections 1 through 5 of this supporting statement describe the collections (in terms of the need and utility of the data collected). These sections also outline respondent and Agency activities. In Section 6, EPA estimates the annual hour and cost burden to respondents and the Agency as a result of the data collections.

Educational Opportunity Centers Program (EOC) Annual Performance Report

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Education (ED) collects Annual Performance Reports (APRs) from Educational Opportunity Centers (EOC) grantees under the authority of Title IV, Part A, Subpart 2, Division 1, Sections 402A and 402B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, the program regulations in 34 CFR 644, and the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), in 34 CFR 74.51, 75.720, and 75.732. The information that grantees submit in their APRs allows ED to annually assess each grantee's progress in meeting their project's approved goals and objectives. The APR data that grantees submit are compared with the projects' approved objectives to determine the projects' accomplishments, to make decisions regarding whether funding should be continued, and to award "prior experience" points. The regulations for this program provide for awarding up to 15 points for prior experience (34 CR 644.22). During a competition for new grant awards, the prior experience points are added to the average of the peer reviewers' scores to arrive at a total score for each application. Funding recommendations and decisions are primarily based on the rank order of applications on the slate; therefore, assessment of prior experience points, based on data in the annual performance report, is a crucial part of the overall application process. Further, this performance report form is the main source of data for the Department's response to the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) for this program. In addition, the Department uses the annual performance reports to produce program level data for annual reporting, budget submissions to OMB, Congressional hearings and inquiries, and responding to inquiries from higher education interest groups and the general public. EOC APRs are prepared and submitted by EOC grant projects. For each EOC grant project, the grant project director of record completes, or supervises the completion of the data submission process. The grant project director supervises the administration of an EOC grant. An EOC grant provides counseling and information on college admissions to qualified adults who want to enter or continue a program of postsecondary education. The program also provides services to improve the financial and economic literacy of participants. An important objective of the program is to counsel participants on financial aid options, including basic financial planning skills, and to assist in the application process. The goal of the EOC program is to increase the number of adult participants who enroll in postsecondary education institutions. The proposed revision to the APR entails replacement of Competitive Preference Priority (CPP) questions with new CPP questions of equal response time. In addition, the annual number of responses and total annual burden hours have been adjusted to reflect an increase in the size of the reporting universe.

Business Trends and Outlook Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS) will be a new experimental survey with bi-weekly data collection and publication. This continuous near real time data publication will provide a baseline of the U.S. economy and will measure change as a result of current and future economic shocks. The ongoing nature of the BTOS is in response to stakeholder feedback on the Small Business Pulse Survey (SBPS), which was that economic baseline or ‘norms’ data would have been helpful to have in comparison to the SBPS data on pandemic impact.

Offer in Compromise of Liability Incurred under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act

Key Information

Abstract

To regulate interstate and foreign commerce in distilled spirits, wine, and malt beverages, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act; 27 U.S.C. 201 et seq.) requires certain alcohol beverage industry members to obtain a permit from the Secretary of the Treasury, and it prohibits unfair trade practices, deceptive advertising and labeling of alcohol beverages, and interlocking directorates. Under the FAA Act at 27 U.S.C. 207, violations of the Act are subject to civil and criminal penalties, but the Secretary is authorized to accept monetary compromise for such alleged violations. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations allow a proponent or their agent to submit a monetary offer in compromise to resolve alleged FAA Act violations using form TTB F 5640.2. The form identifies the proponent, the alleged FAA Act violation(s), the amount of the compromise offer, and the reason(s) why TTB should accept the offer. TTB uses the collected information to evaluate the adequacy of the compromise offer in relation to the alleged violation(s) of the FAA Act and to determine if it should accept the offer or pursue civil penalties or criminal prosecution against the alleged violator.

Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) Program Annual Performance Report

Key Information

Abstract

All Veterans Upward Bound projects must provide instruction in mathematics through pre-calculus, laboratory science, foreign language, composition, and literature. Projects may also provide short-term remedial or refresher courses for veterans who are high school graduates but have delayed pursuing postsecondary education. Projects are also expected to assist veterans in securing support services from other locally available resources such as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, veterans- associations, and other state and local agencies that serve veterans. The Department-s annual performance report (APR) for VUB collects each current grantee-s data at the participant level on services and performance over the course of a year. The Department uses the information conveyed in the performance report to assess a grantee-s progress in meeting its approved goals and objectives and to evaluate a grantee-s prior experience in accordance with the program regulations in 34 CFR 645.32. Grantees- annual performance reports also provide information on the outcomes of projects- work and of the VUB program as a whole. In addition, APR data allows the Department to respond to the reporting requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act. The APR has been updated to include questions related to the Competitive Preference Priorities used in the most recent competition. These questions are not expected to affect the total burden hours per response.

Offer in Compromise of Liability Incurred under the Provisions of Title 26 U.S.C. Enforced and Administered by TTB; Collection Information Statements for Individuals and Businesses

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 7122 provides that the Secretary of the Treasury may compromise any civil or criminal case arising under the IRC, including tax liabilities, in lieu of civil or criminal action. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations require persons who wish to make an offer in compromise for violations of the IRC provisions administered by TTB to use form TTB F 5640.1 to identify themselves, the alleged liability and its statutory or regulatory source, the reasons for making the offer in compromise, the amount of the offer, and any proposed payment plan. Also, if a respondent bases an offer in compromise on their inability to pay the alleged liability in full, TTB may require individuals and businesses to submit financial information documenting that inability using TTB F 5600.17 or TTB F 5600.18, respectively. The information required under this collection is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to determine the adequacy of the offer in compromise in relation to the alleged violations of the statutory provisions of the IRC and to develop a payment plan if the individual or business is unable to immediately pay an accepted offer in compromise in full.
