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.

Alaska Mariculture Economic Benchmark Survey

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for a new collection of information. Alaska was recently named an Aquaculture Opportunity Area (AOA) under NOAA Fisheries to determine geographic areas that are environmentally, socially, and economically suitable to support commercial aquaculture operations. The purpose of this data collection is to gather economic data from current growers that hold an Aquatic Farming permit under the Alaska Department of Fish & Game to establish a benchmark economic report that presents economic measures (profitability, breakeven price, etc.) and operations (average stocking density, kelp line depth and separation, etc.) spatially. The data collected from this survey will be used by NOAA economists to generate a benchmark report that states spatial economic information, internal reports on the spatial economic suitability of an Alaskan mariculture operation, and external publications on the financial and environmental risks. These reports will be published on NOAA’s website and be publicly accessible for stakeholders, researchers, and other members of the public. Stakeholders (current and prospective growers) are requesting economic information to help secure small business loans to establish new growing operations and expand current production and describe the economics of opening and operating a mariculture farm in Alaska. Additionally, the economic data provided from this collection will help determine the spatial economic suitability requested from the AOA project. NOAA will use the information provided in the survey to generate a bio economic model that can be simulated under various financial and environmental scenarios. Examples of financial and environmental scenarios include the impact to profitability from subsidies for reductions in seed costs, price floors, and reduced transportation costs from a new production facility and impact to growth and mortality rates from increasing surface water temperatures, dissolved oxygen (DO), and other water parameters and other environmental events such as harmful algae blooms (HAB) or severe storms.

Financial Value Transparency and Gainful Employment Reporting Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

The regulations in § 668.408 in Subpart Q – Financial Value Transparency, that were negotiated in 2022 and the Final Rule published in 2023, establish reporting requirements for postsecondary institutions who participate in the title IV programs under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, to report on their students who enroll in, complete, or withdraw from a gainful employment (GE) program or an eligible non-GE program in specified award years. The new regulations also define the timeframes for institutions to report the required information. This is a new collection. We calculate the average annual burden hours as 2,300,810 for the average 284,574 responses by 4,518 respondents over 3 years. We divided the total 3 year burden hours 6,902,430 by the 853,723 responses to obtain these averages.

Furnishing Documents to the Secretary of Labor on Request Under Employee Retirement Income Security Act Section 104(a)(6)

Key Information

Abstract

Prior to the enactment of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105–34, August 5, 1997) (TRA `97), section 104(a) of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) required administrators of employee benefit plans automatically to file the plan's summary plan description (SPD) and any summaries of material modification (SMMs) with the Secretary of the Department of Labor (the Department). TRA `97 eliminated the requirement that these documents be filed automatically with the Department, but added ERISA section 104(a)(6), requiring a plan administrator to furnish documents related to an employee benefit plan to the Department upon request. The requirement that administrators furnish the Department requested plan documents other than SPDs and SMMs was part of section 104(a) prior to enactment of TRA '97; that requirement was moved by TRA '97 to section 104(a)(6) and consolidated with the new furnishing requirement pertaining to SPDs and SMMs. Pursuant to the regulation, the Department requests documents under section 104(a)(6) when a participant or beneficiary has previously requested the documents directly from the plan administrator and the administrator has failed or refused to provide them. The Department therefore uses the requested information to respond to participants' requests to the Department for documents that the participants were unable to obtain from their plan administrators.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) requests that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review and approve modifications to the FERC-725S (Mandatory Reliability Standards: Emergency Preparedness and Operations (EOP) Reliability Standards) under OMB Control No. 1902-0270 for a three-year period. The FERC-725S collection was modified in Docket No. RD23-1-000 (Order Approving Extreme Cold Weather Reliability Standards EOP-011-3 and EOP-012-1 and Directing Modification of Reliability Standard EOP-012-1). EOP-011-1 is the most recently replaced standard with version EOP-011-2 going into effect on April 1, 2023. After the Commission approved EOP-011-2, NERC revised that standard and submitted a revised version, EOP-011-3 and new EOP-012-1 to further update the Emergency Preparedness and Operations Standards. The updates in RD23-1-000 are from NERC’s petition’s submitted Standards (EOP-011-3 and EOP-012-1) that were approved by the Commission February 16, 2023, with their effective dates starting in 2024.

Manufacturer Submission of Average Sales Price (ASP) Data for Medicare Part B Drugs and Biological and Supporting Regulations (CMS-10110) - IRA

Key Information

Abstract

In accordance with Section 1847A of the Social Security Act (the Act), Medicare Part B covered drugs and biologicals not paid on a cost or prospective payment basis are paid based on the manufacturers’ average sales price (ASP) data submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The reporting requirements are specified in 42 CFR Part 414 Subpart J. In the Calendar Year (CY) 2005 IFC, we published information about the ASP reporting requirements for Medicare Part B drugs and biologicals (66 FR 17935) and specified that manufacturers must report the ASP data using our Addendum A template. CMS migrated the submission of ASP data and signatures to an internet-based automated system in July 2020. The data that is being collected has not changed. As part of an ASP modernization effort, the data collection system has been modified and enhanced to improve the design and flow through the use of Human-Centered Design best practices. These modifications include changes to the design and function of the data collection system, the addition of new data fields, and revisions to the product and financial data templates. The field “Marketing Start Date” is being added so that the user can input the marketing date for the drug. The marketing date of the drug is used to determine how the payment will be calculated and to assign the benchmark quarter used to calculate inflation adjusted coinsurance and rebates per IRA 11101.

FERC-576, Report of Service Interruptions or Damage to Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

A natural gas company must obtain Commission authorization to engage in the transportation, sale, or exchange of natural gas in interstate commerce under the Natural Gas Act (NGA). The NGA also empowers the Commission to oversee continuity of service in the transportation of natural gas in interstate commerce. The information collected under FERC-576 notifies the Commission of actual or potential problems, which create the potential for serious delivery problems on the pipeline’s own system or the pipeline grid. These problems include: • damage to jurisdictional natural gas facilities due to natural disaster (e.g., hurricane, earthquake, or other natural disaster) or terrorist activity; and • serious interruptions to service. In cases of emergency and pending the determination of any application on file with the Commission for a certificate of public convenience and necessity pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, application may be made for a temporary certificate authorizing the construction and operation of extensions of existing facilities, interconnections of pipeline systems, or sales of natural gas that may be required to assure maintenance of adequate service, or to service particular customers. The consequence of not collecting or collecting the information of FERC-576 less frequently would be the Commission’s inability to fulfill its statutory mandates under the NGA and its Rules of Practice and Procedure. Further, if the Commission did not collect this information under FERC-576, it would lose a data point that assists in the monitoring of transactions, operations, and reliability of interstate pipelines.
