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.

Trademark Petitions

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) administers the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., which provides for the registration of trademarks, service marks, collective trademarks and collective 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 trademark related communications to the USPTO, including letters of protest, requests to make special, responses to petition inquiry letters, petitions to make special, requests to restore a filing date, and requests for reinstatement. The information is used by the public for a variety of private business purposes related to establishing and enforcing trademark rights. Information relating to the registration of a trademark is made available to the public by the USPTO. However, the release of information in a letter of protest is controlled and may be available only upon request. A letter of protest is a procedure whereby third parties who object to the registration of a mark in a pending application may bring to the attention of the USPTO evidence bearing on the registrability of the mark. A letter of protest must identify the application being protested and the proposed grounds for refusing registration and include relevant evidence to support the protest. A request to make special may be submitted where an applicant requests that initial examination of an application be advanced out of its regular order because the mark in the application was the subject of an inadvertently cancelled or expired previous registration. A response to a petition inquiry letter is submitted by a petitioner who is responding to a notice of deficiency that the USPTO issued after receiving an incomplete petition to the Director. A petition may be considered incomplete if, for example, it does not include the fee required by 37 CFR 2.6 or if it includes an unverified assertion that is not supported by evidence. The USPTO generally examines applications in the order in which they are received. A petition to make special is a request by the applicant to advance the initial examination of an application out of its regular order. A request to restore a filing date is submitted by an applicant who previously filed an application that was denied a filing date. The request must include evidence showing that the applicant is entitled to the earlier filing date. If an applicant has proof that an application was abandoned due to a USPTO error, an applicant may file a request to reinstate the application instead of a petition to revive. To support such a request, the applicant must include evidence of the USPTO error.

Requirements for Insurance - Interest Rate Risk Policy

Key Information

Abstract

Section 741.3(b)(5) of NCUA’s rules and regulations requires federally-insured credit unions with assets of more than $50 million to develop, as a prerequisites for insurability of its member deposits, a written interest rate risk management policy and a program to effectively implement the policy. The need for FICU to have a written policy to establish responsibilities and procedures for identifying, measuring, monitoring, controlling, and reporting, and establishing risk limits are essential components of safe and sound credit union operations and to ensure the security of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).

Report of Financial and Operation Statistics for Large Certified Air Carriers

Key Information

Abstract

This is a mandatory collection from large certificated air carriers on their financial condition. It consists of balance sheet and income/expense information. The collection is on a monthly, quarterly, semi annual & annual basis depending on the size of the air carrier and the data being reported. The Department of Transportation uses this data to determine continuing air carrier fitness, safety analysis, international route negotiations. The Department of Commerce uses this data to prepare its benchmark estimates of the gross domestic product. The Department of Justice uses this data to conduct antitrust analysis. The Department of Energy uses this data to monitor industry fuel consumption for emergency preparedness. This is a revision to a current collection in that we are asking for additional burden hours to collect segregated fees charged by the air carriers. Air carriers already report this data but not in a separate identifiable form. The burden hours affected pertain only to the P-2 Notes and consist of an additional two hours to prepare, per report, per respondent.

Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

In August 2022, Congress passed, and President Biden signed, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) into law. Section 60113 of the IRA amended the Clean Air Act (CAA) by adding section 136, Methane Emissions and Waste Reduction Incentive Program for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems. CAA section 136(c) directs the Administrator of the EPA to impose and collect a Waste Emissions Charge (hereafter referred to as WEC or charge) on methane emissions that exceed statutorily specified waste emissions thresholds from an owner or operator of an applicable facility. CAA section 136(g) directs the EPA to begin imposition and collection of charge with respect to emissions reported for calendar year 2024 and for each year thereafter. The waste emissions threshold is a methane intensity metric, therefore facilities that have methane emissions per unit of throughput below the threshold would not be required to pay the charge. The Waste Emissions Charge applies to facilities that report more than 25,000 metric tons (mt) carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted per year pursuant to the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rules (GHGRP) requirements for the petroleum and natural gas systems source category (codified as 40 CFR part 98, subpart W). An applicable facility, as defined in CAA section 136(d), is a facility within the following segments (as the following industry segments are defined in part 98, subpart W): onshore petroleum and natural gas production, offshore petroleum and natural gas production, onshore natural gas processing, onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting, onshore gas transmission compression, onshore natural gas transmission pipeline, underground natural gas storage, liquefied natural gas import and export equipment, and liquefied natural gas storage. Congress structured the charge so that it focuses on large oil and gas facilities (i.e., those with emissions greater than 25,000 mt CO2e of GHG emitted per year). CAA section 136(f)(4) allows for the netting of charge obligation for applicable facilities under common ownership or control. CAA section 136(f)(5), (f)(6), and (f)(7) provide for certain exemptions from charge for applicable facilities, or portions of methane emissions from applicable facilities, that meet specified requirements. The Waste Emissions Charge applies to facilities that report more than 25,000 metric tons (mt) carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted per year pursuant to the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rules (GHGRP) requirements for the petroleum and natural gas systems source category (codified as 40 CFR part 98, subpart W).

Administration of Psychotropic Medication to Unaccompanied Children

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Children (UC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied 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 because they serve unaccompanied children and Emergency or Influx 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. On June 29, 2018, Plaintiffs filed their federal class action lawsuit in the Central District of California, western division, captioned Lucas R. et al v. Becerra et al (Case No. 2:18-CV-05741 DMG PLA), asserting claims under the Flores consent decree, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, the Due Process clause, and the First Amendment. Plaintiffs alleged the violation of unaccompanied children rights in decisions regarding family reunification, placement in restrictive facilities, services for children with disabilities, administration of psychotropic medication, and access to legal assistance. On May 3, 2024, the Court granted final approval for the settlement agreements of the Plaintiffs’ claims for disabilities, psychotropic medication, and legal assistance. As part of the settlement agreement for the psychotropic medication claim, ORR is required, whenever possible, to obtain informed consent for the administration of psychotropic medication and provide certain information to the authorized consenter. Additionally, ORR is required to provide a written notice and obtain informed assent or agreement from children aged 14 or older before administering psychotropic medication. The psychotropic medication settlement agreement must be fully implemented by August 3, 2026, but data collection must be implemented by February 3, 2025 to ensure compliance with the Agreement. The instruments in this information collection allow ORR to obtain informed consent from authorized consenters and informed assent or agreement from unaccompanied children for the administration of psychotropic medication.

Study of the Impact of English Learner Reclassification Policies

Key Information

Abstract

The data collection described in this submission will assist policymakers in understanding the impact of classification and reclassification policies that govern students’ English learner (EL) status. Specifically, the study examines (1) whether classification and reclassification was implemented more consistently across districts within states after the start of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and (2) whether classification and reclassification at current thresholds helps, harms, or is neutral for ELs’ and former ELs’ instructional opportunities, experiences, achievement, and attainment. This revision request adds district and school surveys to the approved data collection. The surveys will assess how district-level policies, practices, and procedures influence the impacts of reclassification on ELs as well as provide valuable descriptive information from districts and schools on local implementation of policies and practices that may affect outcomes for ELs. It will complement an existing data collection (#1850-0974) of student information from state longitudinal data systems (SLDSs).

Consumer Confidence Report Rule Revisions and Compliance Monitoring Data Collection (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water (OGWDW) in the Office of Water at the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for managing the Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) Program, a national program mandated by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Section 1414 of the SDWA requires each community water system to mail, or provide by electronic means, to each customer of the system at least once annually a report on the level of contaminants in the drinking water purveyed by that system, known as the “consumer confidence report.” SDWA requires the EPA to monitor and enforce National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) to ensure that the nation’s drinking water reliably complies with the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs), maximum residual disinfectant limits (MRDLs), treatment techniques (TT) and other requirements stipulated in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 40 CFR Part 141, Subpart B. Section 1445 of the SDWA states that public water systems (PWS) shall conduct monitoring, maintain records, and provide information as needed for the EPA to implement its monitoring and enforcement responsibilities with respect to the Act. Primacy agencies, the EPA and state governments that have assumed primary enforcement responsibility under SDWA section 1413, ensure that PWSs are complying with these regulatory requirements. As part of the PWSS Program, OGWDW uses the Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) as the database of record for compliance with NPDWR requirements. SDWIS is a database management system that assists the EPA in tracking and interpreting violations data and other program-related data. This ICR provides burden and cost estimates for the final revised Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) rule, including compliance monitoring data (CMD) reporting by primacy agencies. The EPA is finalizing the revised CCR rule to require CWSs serving 10,000 or more people that have violations to include a six month update with their annual report. All other CWSs (without violations) serving 10,000 or more people will be required to reissue their annual report by December 31st. To implement its compliance oversight and enforcement responsibilities under the SDWA, the EPA is finalizing a provision as part of the rulemaking that will require primacy agencies to submit their CMD annually. The ICR estimates costs for future rule implementation.

Rule Concerning Recurring Subscriptions and Other Negative Option Programs ("Negative Option Rule")

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “Commission”) is issuing final amendments to the Commission’s “Rule Concerning Use of Prenotification Negative Option Plans,” retitled the “Rule Concerning Recurring Subscriptions and Other Negative Option Programs” (“Rule,” “final Rule” or “Negative Option Rule”). The final Rule now applies to all negative option programs in any media, and, among other things, (1) prohibits misrepresentations of any material fact made in connection with marketing goods or services with a negative option feature; (2) requires sellers to provide important information prior to obtaining consumers’ billing information and charging consumers; (3) requires sellers to obtain consumers’ unambiguously affirmative consent to the negative option feature prior to charging them; and (4) requires sellers to provide consumers with simple cancellation mechanisms to immediately halt all recurring charges. The final Rule makes changes in the Rule’s recordkeeping and disclosure requirements that will increase the PRA burden as detailed below. Accordingly, the Commission is submitting the final Rule and a Supplemental Supporting Statement to the Office of Management and Budget for review under the PRA.

The rule clarifies the conditions for a safe harbor for securitization or participation and sets forth safe harbor protections for securitizations that do not comply with the new accounting standards for off balance sheet treatment by providing for expedited access to the financial assets that are securitized if they meet the conditions defined in the rule. The conditions contained in the rule will serve to protect the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) and NCUA’s interests as liquidating agent or conservator by aligning the conditions for the safe harbor with better and more sustainable lending practices by insured credit unions (FICUs).

Integrating e-Manifest with HWE and Other Manifest-Related Reports, PCB Manifest Amendments, and Technical Corrections (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

EPA is now proposing certain amendments to the e-Manifest regulations for shipments of hazardous waste that are exported for treatment, storage, and disposal. In addition, EPA proposes regulatory amendments to the three manifest-related, written reports, including: (1) Exception Report, (2) Discrepancy Report, and (3) Unmanifested Waste Report, which address specific issues that arise in the use of the manifest. Because much of the manifest information that is the basis for these separate reports will be available in e-Manifest, EPA is proposing regulatory changes so that these reports can be transmitted electronically and more efficiently in the e Manifest system rather than as separate, written reports. Further, EPA proposes conforming regulatory changes to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) manifest regulations for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) wastes. PCB wastes are not hazardous wastes pursuant to RCRA but are required under TSCA regulations to be tracked under a RCRA hazardous waste manifest when transported from the site of generation to an off-site facility for commercial storage or disposal. Proposed changes to the TSCA manifest regulations are necessary to align with the RCRA manifest regulations and the e-Manifest Program. EPA also proposes regulatory changes to the RCRA hazardous waste export and import shipment international movement document related requirements to more closely link the manifest data with the international movement document data. Finally, the Agency proposes to make technical corrections to fix typographical errors in the e-Manifest and movement document regulations.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program (Non-Substantive Change)

Key Information

Abstract

Two currently approved collections (B)(1) Great Lakes Antidegradation Demonstrations and (B)(2) Great Lakes Regulatory Relief Requests appear in both this WQS Regulation ICR and in the separate NPDES Program ICR, OMB Control Number 2040-0004. The WQS ICR and NPDES ICR each cover 50% of the burden under each said collection. At the suggestion of the Office of Management and Budget to improve administrative efficiency, EPA is now removing the WQS programs shares of the two collections from this WQS ICR and consolidating them with the NPDES programs shares into the NPDES ICR now that is has been renewed. After this transfer, each of the two collections will appear in full in the renewed NPDES ICR and will no longer appear in this WQS ICR.

Application For VA Educational Benefits (VA Forms 22-1990, 22-1990e, 22-1990n)

Key Information

Abstract

Applicants complete and submit the Application for Education Benefits, VA Form 22-1990; National Call to Service (NCS), VA Form 22-1990N, or the Transfer of Entitlement (TOE), VA Form 22-1990E to file their claim for VA education benefits, which all have different eligibility requirements. The information requested on each of these forms helps VA to determine the applicant’s eligibility to education benefits. Veterans to submit their VA Form 22-1990 “Application for Education Benefits” and VA Form 22-1990E, “Application for Family Member to Use Transferred Benefits” to VA. The MEB system is currently only available for Chapter 33 Post-9/11 applicants, but efforts are in place to add the Chapter 30 and 1606 program for claims processing. For now, all other Veterans may continue to use the VA.gov electronic platform to submit application for those programs. When the VA Form 22-1990 application is received, the MEB pre-fills the applicant’s information into the portal based on historical data VA already has. Upon completion of the pre-filled information, e.g., service history, address, date of birth, etc.; it allows the claimant to make changes to the answers (if needed). This automation helps to reduce the burden because if the pre-filled information is correct, and no changes are necessary, the MEB can automatically generate an eligibility determination. The VA Form 22-1990 is currently being substantively revised by removing certain questions such as asking for previous education and training, employment history, previous benefits received, and future education or training plans. VA leadership has determined those questions were not required in order to make an eligibility determination. Individuals unable to use MEB may use the VA.gov electronic platform to submit their VA Forms 22-1990 and 22-1990E. Both platforms have the same required questions and allows applicants to provide answers only to certain questions based on the benefit sought, thus allowing the applicant to skip inapplicable questions: skipping those unrelated questions allows Veterans Claims Examiners to process the application quicker and more efficiently and helps to reduce the burden on the claimant.
