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.

Report of Whaling Operations

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for extension of a current information collection. In order to respond to obligations under the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, the IWC, and the Whaling Convention Act, anyone retrieving a dead whale is also required to report. Captains must place a distinctive permanent identification mark on any harpoon, lance, or explosive dart used, as well as provide information on the mark and self-identification information. The relevant and/or affect whaling organization receives the reports, compiles them, and submits the information to the National Marine Fisheries Service, Office of International Affairs, Trade, and Commerce. The information is used to monitor the hunt and to ensure that quotas are not exceeded. The information is also provided to the IWC, which uses it to monitor compliance with its requirements. Information to be submitted under this collection is needed to comply with U.S. obligations under the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling. Reports from Native American whaling captains engaging in aboriginal subsistence whaling managed by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) help ensure that quotas are not exceeded and contribute information to monitoring of harvested species, like bowhead whales.

Farm Arrangement Questionnaire

Key Information

Abstract

When self-employed workers submit earnings data to SSA, they cannot count rental income from a farm they own unless they demonstrate "material participation" in that farm's operation. A material participation arrangement means the farm owners who are seeking to have earnings counted by SSA must perform a combination of physical duties, management decisions, and capital investment in the farm they are renting out. In such cases SSA uses form SSA-7157, the Farm Arrangement Questionnaire, to document material participation. The respondents are workers who are renting farmland to other people but who are involved in the operation of the farm and want to claim countable income from their work there. We are submitting this non-substantive change request to remove the signature requirement and are replacing the Penalty of Perjury Statement with a Penalty of Perjury Warning Statement. We are also revising the Privacy Act Statement and the Paperwork Reduction Act Statement.

Medicaid Program; Medicare Savings Program Application and Eligibility Determinations (CMS-10891)

Key Information

Abstract

States use information collected by SSA on LIS applications, transmitted to states with the consent of an individual completing an application, to determine eligibility for the MSPs. The state Medicaid agency accepts and verifies the information provided on the LIS application (to the extent allowable under the MSP final rule); communicates with the applicant or the authorized representative about any additional information needed to make an MSP determination; makes the MSP eligibility determination; enrolls the individual in an MSP, if eligible; and informs the individual about the rights and responsibilities for applying for full Medicaid eligibility. Applicants include anyone who chooses to apply for LIS and provides consent for their application to be considered for MSPs. Information collected by state Medicaid agencies on an MSP-only application will be used to determine eligibility for MSPs. Applicants are anyone who wants to apply for MSPs. Information collected by the CMS model application for MSPs can be used to determine eligibility for MSPs if a state accepts the model application form. Applicants are anyone who wants to apply for MSPs and lives in a state that accepts the model application. Life insurance information collected by state Medicaid agencies such as the name of the insurance company and policy number is used to help individuals obtain the cash surrender value of life insurance policies in order to determine eligibility for MSPs. Affected individuals are those who apply for MSPs and need to provide documentation for states to evaluate whole life insurance policies. Individuals may refuse to provide consent. The information collection requirements will assist the public to understand information about the MSPs and will assist CMS in ensuring a simplified system of MSP application, eligibility determination, and enrollment.

NESHAP for Beryllium (40 CFR part 61, subpart C) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Beryllium (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart C)apply to all extraction plants, ceramic plants, foundries, incinerators, and propellant plants which process beryllium ore, beryllium, beryllium oxides, beryllium alloys, or beryllium-containing waste. All sources known to have either caused, or to have the potential to cause, dangerous levels of beryllium in the ambient air are covered by this standard. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart C. In general, all NESHAP 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 NESHAP.

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Gold Mine Ore Processing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEEEEE) were proposed on April 28, 2010; and promulgated on February 17, 2011. These regulations apply to both existing and new gold mine ore processing and production facilities that are area sources and use ore pretreatment, carbon processes with mercury retorts, carbon processes without mercury retorts, and non-carbon concentrate processes. The regulation sets mercury emission limits for each of the affected processes at both new and existing facilities. New facilities include those that either commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEEEEE. In general, all NESHAP 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.

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 3a68-2 creates a process for interested persons to request a joint interpretation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission regarding whether a particular instrument (or class of instruments) is a swap, a security-based swap, or both (i.e., a mixed swap). Rule 3a68-4(c) establishes a process for persons to request that the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission issue a joint order permitting such persons (and any other person or persons that subsequently lists, trades, or clears that class of mixed swap) to comply, as to parallel provisions only, with specified parallel provisions of either the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), and related rules and regulations, instead of being required to comply with parallel provisions of both the CEA and the Exchange Act. For purposes of Rule 3a68-4(c) under the Exchange Act, "parallel provisions" means comparable provisions of the CEA and the Exchange Act that were added or amended by Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act with respect to security-based swaps and swaps, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Outbound Investment Notifications

Key Information

Abstract

On August 9, 2023, the President issued Executive Order 14105, “Addressing United States Investments in Certain National Security Technologies and Products in Countries of Concern,” 88 FR 54867 (the Outbound Order), pursuant to his authority under the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code. In the Outbound Order, the President declared a national emergency to address the threat to the United States posed by countries of concern, which seek to develop and exploit sensitive technologies or products critical for military, intelligence, surveillance, or cyber-enabled capabilities. The Outbound Order directs the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations to prohibit or require notification of certain types of transactions by a U.S. person involving a person of a country of concern that is engaged in certain activities involving specific categories of advanced technologies and products. The Outbound Order also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to exempt from applicable prohibitions or notification requirements any transaction or transactions determined to be in the national interest of the United States and to investigate and make requests for information relative to notifiable or prohibited transactions. The Outbound Order identifies three categories of national security technologies and products: semiconductors and microelectronics, quantum information technologies, and artificial intelligence. In an Annex to the Outbound Order, the President identified the People’s Republic of China, along with the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, as a country of concern. The Outbound Order directs the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations that identify categories of notifiable transactions that involve the national security technologies and products that the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce and, as appropriate, the heads of other relevant agencies, determines may contribute to the threat to the national security of the United States identified in the Outbound Order. U.S. persons are required to notify the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) of each such transaction and include relevant information about the transaction in each notification. On November 15, 2024, Treasury published a final rule (Final Rule), 89 FR 90398, to implement the Outbound Order. As relevant to this Supporting Statement, the Final Rule requires U.S. persons to submit a notification with respect to (i) any “notifiable transaction”, as defined in the Final Rule; (ii) any transaction by a controlled foreign entity that would be a notifiable transaction if engaged in by a U.S. person; and (iii) any transaction for which a U.S. person acquires actual knowledge after the completion date of the transaction that the transaction would have been a prohibited or notifiable transaction if such knowledge had been possessed by the relevant U.S. person at the time of the transaction. Such notification will include relevant details on the U.S. person involved in the transaction as well as information about the transaction and the covered foreign person involved. The Final Rule requires any U.S. person that has filed a notification to respond to any questions or document requests from Treasury related to the transaction or compliance with the Final Rule; maintain a copy of the notification filed and supporting documentation for a period of ten years from the date of the filing; and notify Treasury in writing of any material omission or inaccuracy in a previous submission.

Background Checks for Contractor Employees (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) applies to background checks for specified contractor employees working in sensitive locations or sensitive projects who are not otherwise covered by a background check in accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12). The EPA uses contractors to perform services throughout the nation with regard to environmental emergencies involving the release, or threatened release, of oil, radioactive materials or hazardous chemicals that may potentially affect communities and the surrounding environment. Releases may be accidental, deliberate, or may be caused by natural disasters. The information is collected for each employee who will be working at sensitive sites or in sensitive positions which could involve law enforcement activities, indoor cleanups (including occupied household residences), drug lab cleanups, and emergency response actions at geographically sensitive locations such as military installations and Government buildings.

Trademark Post Registration

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) administers the Trademark Act (Act), 15 U.S.C. 1501 et seq., which provides for the federal registration of trademarks, service marks, collective trademarks and service marks, collective membership marks, and certification marks. Individuals and businesses that use or intend to use such marks in commerce may file an application to register their marks with the USPTO. This information collection covers various communications submitted by individuals and businesses to the USPTO after the registration of a trademark. One type of communication is a request to amend a registration to delete goods or services that are no longer being used by the owner. Registered marks remain on the register for 10 years and can be renewed, but will be cancelled unless the owner files with the USPTO a declaration attesting to the continued use (or excusable non-use) of the mark in commerce, and a renewal application, with specific deadlines. Owners may also request to amend or divide a registration, respond to a post-registration office action, and surrender a registration. The regulations implementing the Act are set forth in 37 CFR part 2. These regulations mandate that each register entry include the mark, the goods and/or services in connection with which the mark is used, ownership information, dates of use, and certain other information. The information in this information collection is used to maintain the quality of the trademark register. The register may be accessed by an individual or by businesses to determine the availability of a mark. By keeping the register current and accurate, parties may reduce the possibility of initiating use of a mark previously adopted by another.

Premarket Tobacco Product Applications and Recordkeeping Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection supports Food and Drug Administration requirements for the content and format of Premarket Tobacco Applications (PMTA) Reports which are utilized for the premarket review of new tobacco products. Section 910 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 387(j)), established requirements for premarket review of new tobacco products and the implementing regulations per the PMTA final rule (86 FR 55300, October 5, 2021) that are found in 21 CFR 1114. This information collection supports requirements for the content and format of Premarket Tobacco Applications (PMTA) Reports which are utilized for the premarket review of new tobacco products. The information collection contains requirements related to the basic content and format of premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs), the procedure by which FDA would review PMTAs, and the maintenance of records regarding the legal marketing of certain tobacco products without PMTAs. The information collection also contains requirements related to the procedures of retention of records related to the PMTA, confidentiality of application information, electronic submission of the PMTA and amendments, and postmarket reporting requirements. There are three FDA forms required for use under sections 1114.7(b) and 1114.9(a) when submitting PMTA information to the Agency. Forms FDA 4057 and 4057b are required when submitting PMTA single and bundled submissions. Form FDA 4057a is for use when firms are submitting amendments and other general correspondence. Form FDA 4057b assists industry and FDA in identifying the products that are the subject of a submission. The new CTP Portal NG application will provide web forms for PMTA applications and amendments, respectively, which will improve the submission preparation process for the tobacco industry.
