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.

Filing of Dedicated Cars

Key Information

Abstract

The collection of information associated with CFR parts 215, Railroad Freight Car Safety Standards (FCSS) requires that any railroad carrier that has a freight car assigned to dedicated service be stenciled to indicate special service. FRA reviews this information to determine if the equipment is safe to operate and if the operation qualifies for dedicated service. The required information is also used by the railroads to provide identification and control for carriers so that dedicated cars remain in the prescribed service. FRA is amending the FCSS to implement the SAFE TRAINS Act mandate that FRA issue a regulation to monitor and enforce industry's compliance with the standards of the Act. FRA is requiring freight car manufacturers to certify annually by electronic submission that each freight car complies with the Act before it operates on the U.S. general railroad system of transportation. This information collection is mandatory, submitted on an as needed basis, and there is a requirement for record keeping.

New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
Whistleblower Program Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) relates to three new forms necessary for the efficient operation of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) whistleblower program, as established by 49 U.S.C. § 30172 (the Whistleblower Act). The Whistleblower Act authorizes the Secretary of Transportation (the Secretary) to pay an award to eligible whistleblowers who voluntarily provide original information, if the information provided leads to the successful resolution of a covered action. The three forms are the WB-INFO form, the WB-AWARD form, and the WB-RELEASE form. All of the information collections are collected on an as-needed basis. One of the information collections is completely voluntary and the other two are voluntary, but required to receive a benefit. Under the final rule, a potential whistleblower is required to submit a WB-INFO form and to submit a WB-AWARD form in order to qualify for a whistleblower award. A potential whistleblower may choose to voluntarily submit the WB-RELEASE form. Only minor changes, for clarity, were made to the forms in the final rule. The WB-INFO form will be used to permit NHTSA and its staff to collect information from potential whistleblowers about themselves, their legal representatives, and their allegations relating to any potential violation of the Safety Act or regulation thereunder. If a potential whistleblower proceeds anonymously, the individual must have a legal representative. That legal representative will retain their client’s signed WB-INFO form. The WB-AWARD form will permit NHTSA to collect information relating to a claimant’s eligibility for an award. This will allow NHTSA’s Administrator to determine claims for whistleblower awards. The WB-RELEASE form will provide a means for the potential whistleblower to provide consent for NHTSA to disclose information which could reasonably be expected to reveal the identity of the potential whistleblower. Being able to disclose this information may allow NHTSA to open a public investigation or proceed more efficiently with an investigation into the potential whistleblower’s allegations. The likely respondents to the forms (the WB-INFO, the WB-AWARD, and the WB-RELEASE form) are those employees or contractors of motor vehicle manufacturers, part suppliers, and dealerships who wish to provide NHTSA with information relating to any potential motor vehicle defect, potential noncompliance, or any violation or alleged violation of any notification or reporting requirement of the Safety Act or regulation thereunder. The anticipated recipients of the WB-INFO, WB-AWARD and WB-RELEASE forms are those individuals at NHTSA who have a need to know the information. This may include attorneys in NHTSA’s Office of the Chief Counsel and staff in NHTSA’s Office of Enforcement.

This submission is a revision of the previous approved collection. It adds two new information collections (“IC – 55 17Ad-22(e)(6) (Enhanced Margin)” and “IC – 56 17Ad-22(e)(6) (Enhanced Margin RNR)”) to the previously approved collection. This submission makes no other changes to the previous approved collection.

Underground Retorts

Key Information

Abstract

Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. § 813, authorizes MSHA to collect information necessary to carry out its duty in protecting the safety and health of miners. Title 30 CFR 57.22401 sets forth the safety requirements for using a retort to extract oil from shale in underground metal and nonmetal I-A and I-B mines (those that operate in a combustible ore and either liberate methane or have the potential to liberate methane based on the history of the mine or the geological area in which the mine is located). At present, this applies only to underground oil shale mines. The standard requires that prior to ignition of underground retorts; mine operators must submit a written ignition operation plan to the appropriate Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) District Manager which contains site-specific safeguards and safety procedures for the underground areas of the mine which are affected by the retorts.

Survey of Veteran Enrollees' Health and Use of Health Care

Key Information

Abstract

The VA Survey of Veteran Enrollees’ Health and Use of Health Care gathers information from Veterans enrolled in the VA Health Care System about factors that influence their health care utilization choices. The original authority for this information collection is from Public Law 104, Section 262, Veterans’ Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996. Data collected are used to gain insights into Veteran preferences and to provide VA and Veterans Health Administration (VHA) management guidance in preparing for future Veteran needs. In addition to factors influencing health care choices, the data collected include enrollees’ perceived health status and need for assistance, available insurances, self-reported utilization of VA services versus other health care services, reasons for using VA, barriers to seeking care, ability and comfort level with accessing virtual care, as well as general demographics and family characteristics that may influence utilization but cannot be accessed elsewhere. Based upon historical program data, the survey has been revised to remove some questions and add other questions, and certain questions are asked only in alternating years. Further, the target sample of respondents has been decreased to reduce costs and reduce burden on Veterans. while maintaining the integrity of the data. Information provided through the survey supports critical VA policy decisions.

Drug and Alcohol Testing Program for Personnel Engaged in Specified Aviation Activities

Key Information

Abstract

Part 119 certificate holders with the authority to operate under part 121 and 135, air tour operators as defined in 14 CFR § 91.147, non-FAA or Military Air Traffic Control Facilities, contractors, or repair stations under 14 CFR part 145 that conduct drug and alcohol testing programs are mandated to report information to this collection. The FAA uses this information for determining program compliance or non-compliance of regulated aviation employers, oversight planning, determining who must provide a mandatory annual Management Information System (MIS) testing information, and communicating with entities subject to the program regulations. In addition, the information is used to ensure that appropriate action is taken regarding crewmembers and other safety-sensitive employees who have tested positive for drugs or alcohol or have refused to submit to testing. The collection includes reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosure information. Using the information reported on the annual MIS allows the FAA Administrator to determine the random testing rates for the following year, which is published in the Federal Register. The FAA issued a Final Rule, Drug and Alcohol Testing of Certificated Repair Station Employees Located Outside of the United States, which requires certificated part 145 repair stations located outside the territory of the United States, whose employees perform safety-sensitive maintenance functions on part 121 air carrier aircraft, to conduct drug and alcohol testing in accordance with 14 CFR part 120 and 49 CFR part 40. Repair stations meeting the regulations must obtain an Antidrug and Alcohol Misuse Prevention Program Operations Specification (A449 paragraph) in FAA’s Operations Specifications database and must report annual drug and alcohol testing program statistics through the Department of Transportation Drug and Alcohol Management Information System (DAMIS). The final rule alternatively provides a process for a foreign government, on behalf of certificated repair stations within their territories, and individual foreign repair stations subject to the rule to submit and obtain a waiver of recognition to obtain the Administrator’s recognition of a compatible alternative that contains minimum criteria in lieu of compliance with certain components of 14 CFR part 120. Foreign repair stations meeting the regulatory requirements by obtaining a waiver of recognition are not required to obtain an A449 paragraph or report annual drug and alcohol testing program statistics through DAMIS.

NSPS for Sulfuric Acid Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart H) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Sulfuric Acid Plants (40 CFR Part 60 Subpart H) apply to both existing facilities and new facilities. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. A sulfuric acid plant is any facility producing sulfuric acid (H2SO4) by the contact process by burning elemental sulfur, alkylation acid, hydrogen sulfide, organic sulfides and mercaptans, or acid sludge. A sulfuric acid plant does not include facilities where conversion to sulfuric acid is used primarily as a means of preventing emissions to the atmosphere of sulfur dioxide (SO2) or other sulfur compounds. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS.

Matters Related to First Inventor to File

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Patent System uses a ‘first to file’ system, as introduced by the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) which was enacted into law on September 16, 2011. To determine the first inventor to file, information is needed in order to identify the inventorship and ownership, or obligation to assign ownership, of each claimed invention on its effective filing date. Section 3 of the AIA, inter alia, amended 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 consistent with the objectives of the AIA, including the conversion of the United States patent system from a “first to invent” system to a “first inventor to file” system. The changes in section 3 of the AIA went into effect on March 16, 2013, but apply only to certain applications filed on or after March 16, 2013. This information collection covers information required by 37 CFR 1.55(k), 1.78(a)(6), and 1.78(d)(6) to assist the USPTO in determining whether an application is subject to 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 as amended by Section 3 of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA), or 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103, in effect on March 15, 2013.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Triennial Network Adequacy Review for Medicare Advantage Organizations and 1876 Cost Plans (CMS-10636)

Key Information

Abstract

This proposed collection of information is essential to appropriate and timely compliance monitoring by CMS, in order to ensure that all active MAO contracts offering network-based plans maintain an adequate network. Currently, CMS verifies that MAOs are compliant with the current CMS network adequacy criteria by performing a contract-level network review, which occurs when CMS requests that an MAO upload provider and facility Health Service Delivery (HSD) tables for a given contract to the Health Plan Management System (HPMS). If an MAO does not have its contract-level network formally reviewed by CMS after the initial contract application process, then there is no CMS requirement for a network adequacy review unless one of the above listed triggering events occurs. Therefore, CMS is proposing this collection of information in order to improve monitoring of MAOs’ network adequacy. This collection of information requires the uploading of HSD tables to the Network Management Module (NMM) in HPMS for any contract that has not had an entire network review performed by CMS in the previous three years of contract operation. The collection process will occur at the contract level for each MAO that qualifies, and CMS will assess each contract against the current CMS network adequacy criteria. Each time an MAO’s contract undergoes an entire network review during any of the triggering events listed on page one, the three-year anniversary date for that contract will be reset, and CMS will maintain an HPMS report to keep track of this date for every active network-based contract.

NSPS for Glass Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR Part, 60 Subpart CC) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Glass Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CC) were proposed on June 15, 1979, promulgated on October 7, 1980, and amended on both October 19, 1984 and October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to both existing and new glass melting furnaces located at glass manufacturing plants. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart A), as well as the specific requirements at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CC. This includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards.
