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.

Implementation of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013

Key Information

Abstract

The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (“VAWA”) protects qualified tenants, participants, applicants, and affiliated individuals in all HUD-covered housing programs, who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. On November 16, 2016, HUD published a final rule (VAWA Rule) at 81 FR 80724, implementing VAWA’s provisions in its housing programs. The VAWA Rule includes the following Appendices, which entail certain reporting and recordkeeping burdens: (A) Notice of Occupancy Rights Under the Violence Against Women Act; (B) Model Emergency Transfer Plan for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking; (C) Certification of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking, and Alternate Documentation; and (D) Emergency Transfer Request for Certain Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking. Under the VAWA Rule, PHAs, owners, and managers (collectively “Covered Housing Providers” or “CHPs”) Under the VAWA Rule, each CHP must make use of Appendix A and Appendix C, by providing copies of the Notice of Occupancy Rights and the Certification form. Each CHP presented with a claim for continued or initial tenancy or assistance, based on the victim’s status as a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, may request that the victim document or provide written evidence to demonstrate that the violence occurred, and Certification form is one such way of documenting the violence. Each CHP must also establish an emergency transfer plan, although it need not be modeled on Appendix B. CHPs’ use of an Emergency Transfer Request form, like the model in Appendix D, is also discretionary. CHPs must track and report annually to HUD if they have any Emergency Transfer Requests and outcomes. Finally, under the VAWA Rule, CHPs may opt to provide a lease bifurcation to VAWA-covered individuals.

Unfair or Deceptive Fees

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “Commission”) is promulgating a trade regulation rule titled Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees under the authority of section 18 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, (“FTC Act”), 15 U.S.C. 57a(b)(2), which grants the FTC the authority to promulgate, modify, or repeal trade regulation rules that define with specificity acts or practices that are unfair or deceptive in or affecting commerce within the meaning of section 5(a)(1) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 45(a)(1). The final rule includes disclosure obligations that, under certain circumstances, may constitute a collection of information for the purpose of the PRA. Specifically, final § 464.2(a) provides it is an unfair and deceptive practice for a business to offer, display, or advertise any price of a covered good or service—defined to consist of live-event tickets and short-term lodging—without clearly and conspicuously disclosing the total price, which is defined in final § 464.1 to permit the exclusion of government charges, shipping charges, and fees or charges for any optional ancillary good or service. While businesses may exclude these charges from total price in offers, displays, and advertisements, final § 464.2(c)(1) provides that, before a consumer consents to pay, a business must disclose clearly and conspicuously (i) the nature, purpose, and amount of any fee or charge imposed on the transaction that has been excluded from total price and the identity of the good or service for which the fee or charge is imposed and (ii) the final amount of payment for the transaction. Final § 464.2(b) relatedly provides that total price must be disclosed more prominently than any other pricing information; however, where the final amount of payment for the transaction is displayed, it must be more prominent than, or as prominent as, total price.

Submissions of 1135 Waiver Request Automated Process (CMS-10752)

Key Information

Abstract

Waivers under Section 1135 of the Social Security Act (the Act) and certain flexibilities allow the CMS to relax certain requirements, known as the Conditions of Participation (CoPs) or Conditions of Coverage to promote the health and safety of beneficiaries. Under Section 1135 of the Act, the Secretary may temporarily waive or modify certain Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) requirements to ensure that sufficient health care services are available to meet the needs of individuals enrolled in Social Security Act programs in the emergency area and time periods. These waivers ensure that providers who provide such services in good faith can be reimbursed and exempted from sanctions. During emergencies, such as the current COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), CMS must be able to apply program waivers and flexibilities under section 1135 of the Social Security Act, in a timely manner to respond quickly to unfolding events. In a disaster or emergency, waivers and flexibilities assist health care providers/suppliers in providing timely healthcare and services to people who have been affected and enables states, Federal districts, and U.S. territories to ensure Medicare and/or Medicaid beneficiaries have continued access to care. During disasters and emergencies, it is not uncommon to evacuate Medicare-participating facilities and relocate patients/residents to other provider settings or across state lines, especially, during hurricane and tornado events. CMS must collect relevant information for which a provider is requesting a waiver or flexibility to make proper decisions about approving or denying such requests. Collection of this data aids in the prevention of gaps in access to care and services before, during, and after an emergency. CMS must also respond to inquiries related to a PHE from providers and beneficiaries. CMS is not collecting information from these inquiries; we are merely responding to them.

TSCA Section 8(b) Reporting Requirements for TSCA Inventory Notifications (renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) addresses the reporting and recordkeeping requirements under section 8(b) of the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) that are associated with the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory), as codified in 40 CFR Part 710. TSCA section 8(b) specifically requires that EPA compile and keep current a list of chemical substances manufactured or processed for commercial purposes in the United States. That mandate was amended in 2016 and TSCA section 8(b)(4) requires EPA to designate chemical substances on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory as either active or inactive in U.S. commerce. The first TSCA Inventory with all chemical substances designated as active or inactive published in February 2019. Starting August 5, 2019, manufacturers and processors are required to notify EPA before reintroducing inactive substances into U.S. commerce. The implementing regulations allow manufacturers and processors to notify EPA that it must change the commercial activity designation of the subject chemical substance from inactive to active on the TSCA Inventory. In March 2020, EPA amended 40 CFR part 710 to revise the requirements for companies to substantiate their confidential business information (CBI) claims for the specific chemical identities of substances on the TSCA inventory. The burden and activities in that amendment are covered by a rule related addendum to this ICR identified under OMB Control No. 2070-0210 (EPA ICR No. 2594.03). At this time, the information collection activities covered in the existing ICR related to the time-limited one time reporting (EPA Form No. 9600-05; Notice of Activity Form A), and the retrospective substantiation of CBI imposed by the 2020 amendment that is covered by the ICR addendum identified under OMB Control No. 2070-0210 (EPA ICR No. 2594.03) are now complete and are not included in this ICR.

Section 109(a) of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (TRHCA) (Pub. L. 109-432) amended section 1833(t) of the Social Security Act by adding a new subsection (17) that affects the payment rate update applicable to Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) payments for services furnished by hospitals in outpatient settings on or after January 1, 2009. Section 1833(t)(17)(A) of the Social Security Act, which applies to hospitals as defined under section 1886(d)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act, requires that hospitals that fail to report data required for quality measures selected by the Secretary in the form and manner required by the Secretary under section 1833(t)(17)(B) of the Social Security Act will incur a reduction in their annual payment update (APU) factor to the hospital outpatient department fee schedule by 2.0 percentage points. Hospital OQR Program payment determinations are made based on Hospital OQR Program quality measure data reported and supporting forms submitted by hospitals as specified through rulemaking. To reduce burden, a variety of different data collection mechanisms are employed, with every consideration taken to employ existing data and data collection systems.

Rural Emergency Hospital Quality Reporting (REHQR) (CMS-10870)

Key Information

Abstract

The Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), 2021, was signed into law in December 2020. In this legislation, Congress established a new Medicare provider type: Rural Emergency Hospitals (REHs). Section 125 of Division CC of the CAA, 2021 added section 1861(kkk) to the Social Security Act (the Act). This section defines an REH as a facility that, in relevant part, was as of December 27, 2020: (1) a Critical Access Hospital (CAH) or a subsection (d) hospital with not more than 50 beds located in a county (or equivalent unit of local government) in a rural area (defined in section 1886(d)(2)(D) of the Act); or (2) was a subsection (d) hospital with not more than 50 beds that was treated as being in a rural area pursuant to section 1886(d)(8)(E) of the Act. Under section 1861(kkk)(7) of the Act, as added by section 125 of Division CC of the CAA, 2021, the Secretary is required to establish quality measurement reporting requirements for REHs, which may include the use of a small number of claims-based measures or patient experience surveys. An REH must submit quality measure data to the Secretary, and the Secretary shall establish procedures to make the data available to the public on a CMS website.

Office of Hearings and Appeals Procedural Regulations (43 CFR Part 4)

Key Information

Abstract

OHA exercises the delegated authority of the Secretary of the Interior to conduct hearings and decide appeals from decisions of the bureaus and offices of the Department of the Interior (Department, DOI, Interior). OHA’s hearings and appeals provide administrative process to outside litigants by providing an impartial forum and independent review of bureau and office decisions. OHA review ensures that the Department has an opportunity to correct its own administrative errors, final agency decisions are consistent with law, and, if Department decisions are challenged in federal court, those courts receive fully developed administrative records on which to base judicial review of agency actions.Emergency Justfication:In this interim final rule, OHA will make comprehensive procedural revisions throughout 43 CFR part 4, including additional changes to establish the regulatory framework for electronic filing (including where some appeals are filed), retitling subparts for greater consistency and clarity, consolidating subparts, creating two new subparts, and making the organization of the regulations more logical and concise. Some of the changes will supersede those made in March 2023. While OHA has made language consistent across part 4 where possible, we placed greater emphasis on making the procedures more useable and understandable to those appearing before a particular OHA Unit in a particular type of proceeding.

Key Information

Abstract

On January 18, 2023, the Commission adopted the 4.9 GHz Seventh Report and Order (FCC 23-3) where it concluded that collecting additional technical data on public safety operations in the 4.94-4.99 GHz band (4.9 GHz band) will improve interference protection and give public safety licensees more confidence in the band without adding a significant burden on licensees or applicants. The Commission also established a Band Manager to coordinate operations in the 4.9 GHz band. The Band Manager will use the more granular technical data collected on public safety operations in ULS via the FCC Form 601 to perform frequency coordination and will be empowered to work with public safety licensees to ensure efficient use of this spectrum and enable new, non-commercial operations on a secondary, preemptable basis. On July 18, 2022, the Commission released a Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Partitioning, Disaggregation, and Leasing of Spectrum, WT Docket No. 19-38, FCC 22-53, in which the Commission established the Enhanced Competition Incentive Program (ECIP) to establish incentives for wireless radio service licensees to make underutilized spectrum available to small carriers, Tribal Nations, and entities serving rural areas (ECIP Report and Order in WT Docket No. 19-38, FCC 22-53). In the Report and Order, the Commission adopted a program under which any covered geographic area licensee may offer spectrum to an unaffiliated eligible entity through a partition and/or disaggregation, and any covered geographic area licensee eligible to lease in an included service may offer spectrum to an unaffiliated eligible entity through a long-term leasing arrangement. If the FCC finds that approval of an ECIP eligible assignment or lease is in the public interest, the agency will consent to the transaction and confer benefits, including five-year license term extensions, one year construction extensions, and substituted alternative construction requirements for rural-focused transactions. The Commission also established rules to permit reaggregation of geographic licenses. Please see the non-substantive change request justification for the reason behind this change request submission to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval.

H-2 Petitioner's Employment Related or Fee Related Notification

Key Information

Abstract

USCIS requires H-2 petitioners to notify USCIS when (1) a worker fails to report to work within 5 workdays of the employment start date listed on the petition; (2) the labor or services for which H-2 workers were hired is completed more than 30 days early; (3) a worker leaves the worksite without notice; or (4) a worker is terminated prior to the completion of the labor or services for which the worker was hired. The notification requirement is necessary to ensure that H-2 workers maintain their nonimmigrant status and helps prevent H-2 workers from engaging in unauthorized employment. The information collected in employment-related notification submitted by H-2 petitioners is used by USCIS, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). USCIS may forward relevant information to both ICE and CBP. ICE uses the information for future adjudicative purposes and CBP uses it to collect all liquidated damage payments from H-2 petitioners. Establishing compliance with this notification requirement is also a condition of H-2A petitioners being able to request substitutions for H-2A workers who have been admitted to the U.S according to 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5)(ix).

Implementation of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013

Key Information

Abstract

The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (“VAWA”) protects qualified tenants, participants, applicants, and affiliated individuals in all HUD-covered housing programs, who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. On November 16, 2016, HUD published a final rule (VAWA Rule) at 81 FR 80724, implementing VAWA’s provisions in its housing programs. The VAWA Rule includes the following Appendices, which entail certain reporting and recordkeeping burdens: (A) Notice of Occupancy Rights Under the Violence Against Women Act; (B) Model Emergency Transfer Plan for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking; (C) Certification of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking, and Alternate Documentation; and (D) Emergency Transfer Request for Certain Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking. Under the VAWA Rule, PHAs, owners, and managers (collectively “Covered Housing Providers” or “CHPs”) Under the VAWA Rule, each CHP must make use of Appendix A and Appendix C, by providing copies of the Notice of Occupancy Rights and the Certification form. Each CHP presented with a claim for continued or initial tenancy or assistance, based on the victim’s status as a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, may request that the victim document or provide written evidence to demonstrate that the violence occurred, and Certification form is one such way of documenting the violence. Each CHP must also establish an emergency transfer plan, although it need not be modeled on Appendix B. CHPs’ use of an Emergency Transfer Request form, like the model in Appendix D, is also discretionary. CHPs must track and report annually to HUD if they have any Emergency Transfer Requests and outcomes. Finally, under the VAWA Rule, CHPs may opt to provide a lease bifurcation to VAWA-covered individuals.

Disability Report - Adult

Key Information

Abstract

State Disability Determination Services (DDS) use Form SSA-3368, Disability Report – Adult, and its electronic versions, to determine if an adult disability applicant’s impairment(s) is severe and, if so, how the impairment(s) affects the applicant’s ability to work. This determination dictates whether the DDS and SSA will find the applicant disabled. The information we collect on the SSA 3368 is used by the State Disability Determination Services (DDS) to obtain evidence and evaluate whether or not an individual is found disabled. The collection is mandatory for applicants filing to obtain Title II disability benefits or Title XVI Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. We collect this information from the individual one time. We collect the information via several modalities: the SSA-3368-BK PDF paper form, the EDCS SSA-3368 Intranet application, and the i3368 Internet application. The respondents complete the SSA-3368 by themselves with self help information available, or another may complete the paper form or electronic application on their behalf. The respondents generally do not need information from someone else to complete the application. The respondents are disability applicants or third parties assisting the applicants applying for Title II disability benefits or Title XVI SSI payments. We are submitting a non-substantive Change Request to revise the informational langauge on the save and exit screens for the Internet modallity, i3368.

Sections 74.1203(a)(3), Interference, and 74.1204(f), Protection of FM broadcast, FM Translator and LP100 stations

Key Information

Abstract

On May 9, 2019, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, Amendment of Part 74 of the Commission’s Rules Regarding FM Translator Interference, FCC 19-40, MB Docket No. 18-119, adopting proposals to streamline the rules relating to interference caused by FM translators and to expedite the translator interference complaint resolution process. These measures are designed to limit or avoid protracted and contentious interference disputes, provide translator licensees additional investment certainty and flexibility to remediate interference, and provide affected stations earlier and expedited resolution of interference complaints. Under this new information collection, the following information collection requirements require OMB approval. Specifically, the FM Translator Interference Report and Order pertains to this new Information Collection as it codifies the translator interference listener complaint requirements under section 74.1201(k) and sections 74.1203(a)(3) (actual interference) and 74.1204(f) (predicted interference) of the rules. The Commission defines the requirements for a listener complaint submitted with a translator interference claim in section 74.1201(k) as a complaint that is signed and dated by the listener and contains the following information: (1) the complainant’s full name, address, and phone number; (2) a clear, concise, and accurate description of the location where the interference is alleged or predicted to occur; (3) a statement that the complainant listens to the desired station using an over-the-air signal at least twice a month, to demonstrate the complainant is a regular listener; and (4) a statement that the complainant has no legal, employment, financial, or familial affiliation or relationship with the desired station, to demonstrate the complainant is disinterested. Electronic signatures are acceptable for this purpose. The FM Translator Interference Report and Order establishes a minimum number of listener complaints, ranging from 6 to 25, depending on the population served within the protected contour of the complaining station. The Commission explains that a proportionate approach, which was supported by multiple commenters, would be fairer and more effective than a single minimum number for all complaining stations. In addition to the required minimum number of valid listener complaints, a station submitting a translator interference claim package pursuant to either section 74.1203(a)(3) or 74.1204(f) must include: (1) a map plotting the specific locations of the alleged interference in relation to the 45 dBu contour of the complaining station; (2) a statement that the complaining station is operating within its licensed parameters; (3) a statement that the complaining station licensee has used commercially reasonable efforts to inform the relevant translator licensee of the claimed interference and attempted private resolution; and (4) U/D data demonstrating that at each listener location the ratio of undesired to desired signal strength exceeds -20 dB for co-channel situations, -6 dB for first-adjacent channel situations or 40 dB for second- or third-adjacent channel situations, calculated using the Commission’s standard contour prediction methodology set out in section 73.313. In the FM Translator Interference Report and Order, the Commission outlines two paths for resolving interference if the translator decides to continue operation on its original channel. First, a translator operator may resolve each listener complaint by working with a willing listener to resolve reception issues. The translator operator must then document and certify that the desired station can now be heard on the listener’s receiver, i.e., that the adjustment to or replacement of the listener’s receiving equipment actually resolved the interference.
