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.

84.421F Disability Innovation Fund (DIF) Evidence Building Support (EBS)

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Education’s Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) requests clearance for a new data collection activity to support the 84.421F Disability Innovation Fund (DIF) Evidence-Building Support (EBS) project. The purpose of the DIF, as provided by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117-328), is to support innovative activities aimed at increasing competitive integrated employment (CIE) as defined in section 7 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehabilitation Act) (29 U.S.C. 705(5)) for children, youth, and other individuals with disabilities. RSA is investing a total of $251,934,086 in grant funding to the 27 State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR), other State agencies, Public, Private and Nonprofit Entities, including Indian Tribes and Institutions of Higher Education through the 84.421F DIF program. This request covers the following single primary data collection for the EBS: • Annual interviews with 84.421F DIF project directors In September 2024, RSA awarded five-year cooperative agreements to 27 State VR, other State agencies, Public, Private and Nonprofit Entities, including Indian Tribes and Institutions of Higher Education to implement model demonstration projects. The projects vary across the 27 grants but they share the same purpose, which is to develop, implement, refine, assess, and disseminate innovative or substantially improved strategies or programs geared toward increasing CIE for individuals with disabilities. RSA is conducting evaluation and technical assistance (TA) activities and will report on implementation and evaluation progress across all grantees in Annual Evidence Reports. This report will also document findings that RSA can use to coordinate ongoing activities and communicate with outside agencies and congressional staff. To supplement the existing data sources, RSA will conduct one annual semi-structured interviews with the individual grantee project directors in grant Years 2, 3, 4 and 5 (Calendar Year (CY) 2025 - CY 2029). These interviews will provide valuable qualitative insights into overall project goals, implementation progress, and the barriers and facilitators encountered—information that is not captured through administrative data reporting alone. This richer understanding will help fill critical gaps and will support the development of the Annual Evidence Report, inform evaluations, coordination, and evaluation technical assistance efforts.

Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied [Alien] Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien 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 license them and temporary influx care 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. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to place unaccompanied alien children referred to ORR by federal agencies into care provider facilities and to transfer children within the ORR care provider network. On September 26, 2025, the Office of Management and Budget approved revised versions of forms P-4 and P-7 through emergency approval, as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13. ORR is proposing revisions to one form in this collection, the Authorization for Medical, Dental, and Mental Health Care (Form P-2). The purpose of the Authorization for Medical, Dental and Mental Health Care (Form P-2) is to inform the treating healthcare provider that the care provider program has the authority, on behalf of ORR, to provide consent for certain healthcare services for unaccompanied alien children and to collect the child’s health records for these services. In addition, the form explains the reimbursement procedure for the submission of healthcare claims. The approved version of the Authorization for Medical, Dental and Mental Health Care (Form P-2) is not consistent with ORR’s current consent policies, guidance on required healthcare services, and reimbursement processes. The lack of alignment has caused confusion in the healthcare community and a delay in reimbursement of services.Emergency Justfication:ACF is requesting emergency review and approval by OMB to update two forms approved under the Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities information collection (OMB #0970-0554), as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13.  ACF is requesting approval as soon as possible due to secure beds becoming available on September 15, 2025 and requests 180 days of approval, during which time a full revision request will be submitted under normal procedures under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The information collection is essential to the mission of the agency, the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information, and public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed. For additional information see Attachment A.

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of this information collection is to determine the acceptability and feasibility of NATs that are used at the point-of-care (POC NAT) implementation in clinical and community settings. POC NATs have the potential to help address some of the remaining challenges to ending the HIV epidemic in the United States by assisting with early detection of acute HIV infection and by providing a more efficient viral load monitoring tool for people living with HIV. This study is the first of its kind in the US and is critical to understanding the utility of rapid point-of-care (POC) nucleic acid tests (NAT) and provider and patient perspectives on its use in the US.

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.

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.

Key Information

Abstract

TThe DOT is obligated by statue to collect and disseminate the data collected in the Origin and Destination data collection. The collection is mandatory and is required to obtain benefit of the data. All US certificated air carriers that sell airline passenger tickets are required to report. The data collection being collected is considered reporting. The collection frequency is monthly. The data collected are itineraries of passenger’s air travel. Data reported includes passenger’s origin, destination, year and month traveled, fare paid, total taxes paid, via point(s), dwell time, air carrier that sold the ticket to the passenger, and air carrier that is scheduled to transport the passenger. The users of the data are, including, but not limited to, the DOT, Federal Aviation Administration, Government Accountability Office, Department of Commerce, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Airport Commissions, Aircraft Manufacturers, Air Carriers, and Educational Institutions. The DOT is obligated by statute to collect and disseminate this information. There are many private and public stakeholders that depend on these data to make decisions on aviation business and policy. For example, these data are used by the aviation industry to plan air services, develop commercial aviation infrastructure, measure the economic impact of passenger flows, and create business plans for start-up airlines. The Origin and Destination data are also a primary source of information used to quantify and evaluate the effectiveness of Federal Aviation policy and programs as well as develop and implement new policies and infrastructure initiatives. Data from the O&D data set are used by the Department to fulfill its aviation mission as described in Part A of the Justification. This is not a revision.

On February 4, 2009, President Obama signed the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA, Pub. L. 111-3). Under ERISA section 701(f)(3)(B)(i)(I), Public Health Service Act (PHS) section 2701(f)(3)(B)(i)(I), and section 9801(f)(3)(B)(i)(I) of the Internal Revenue Code, as added by Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA), an employer that maintains a group health plan in a State that provides medical assistance under a State Medicaid plan under title XIX of the Social Security Act (SSA), or child health assistance under a State child health plan under title XXI of the SSA, in the form of premium assistance for the purchase of coverage under a group health plan, is required to make certain disclosures. Specifically, the employer is required to notify each employee of potential opportunities currently available in the State in which the employee resides for premium assistance under Medicaid and CHIP for health coverage of the employee or the employee's dependents. These notices are referred to as “Employer CHIP Notices.” ERISA section 701(f)(3)(B)(i)(II) requires the Department of Labor to provide employers with model language for the Employer CHIP Notices to enable them to timely comply with this requirement, which is referred to as the “Model Employer CHIP Notice.” The model language is required to include information on how an employee may contact the State in which the employee resides for additional information regarding potential opportunities for premium assistance, including how to apply for such assistance.

Statutory Exemption for Cross-Trading of Securities

Key Information

Abstract

The Statutory Exemption for Cross-Trading of Securities regulation (29 CFR 2550.408b-19) implements the content requirements for the written cross-trading policies and procedures required under section 408(b)(19)(H) of ERISA, as added by section 611(g) of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, Public Law 109-280 (the PPA). Section 611(g)(1) of the PPA created a statutory exemption, added to section 408(b) of ERISA as subsection 408(b)(19), that exempts from the prohibitions of sections 406(a)(1)(A) and 406(b)(2) of ERISA those cross-trading transactions involving the purchase and sale of a security between an account holding assets of a pension plan and any other account managed by the same investment manager, provided that certain conditions are satisfied. On October 7, 2008, the Department issued final regulations regarding cross-trading policies and procedures (73 FR 58450). The regulation provides that the policies and procedures for cross-trading under the statutory exemption must meet certain content requirements. The statutory exemption requires, as a condition to exemptive relief, that an investment manager's policies and procedures regarding cross-trading be provided in advance to the fiduciary of any plan that is considering agreeing to allow its assets to be managed under the investment manager's cross-trading program. The investment manager is also required, under the statutory exemption, to designate a compliance officer responsible for periodically reviewing the investment manager's cross-trading program to ensure compliance with the investment manager's cross-trading written policies and procedures. The statutory exemption requires the compliance officer to issue an annual report to each plan fiduciary describing the steps performed during the course of the review, the level of compliance, and any specific instances of noncompliance. The exemption does not require any reporting or filing with the Federal government.

Notice Requirements of the Health Care Continuation Coverage Provisions

Key Information

Abstract

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) provides that under certain circumstances participants and beneficiaries of group health plans that satisfy the definition of “qualified beneficiaries” under COBRA may elect to continue group health coverage temporarily following events known as “qualifying events” that would otherwise result in loss of coverage. Under the regulatory guidelines, plan administrators are required to distribute notices: a general notice to be distributed to all participants in group health plans subject to COBRA; an employer notice that must be completed by the employer upon the occurrence of a qualifying event; a notice and election form to be sent to a participant upon the occurrence of a qualifying event that might cause the participant to lose group health coverage; an employee notice that may be completed by a qualified beneficiary upon the occurrence of certain qualifying events such as divorce or disability; and, two other notices, one of early termination and the other a notice of unavailability. Also included in the ICR are two model notices that the Department believes will help reduce costs for service providers in preparing and delivering notices to comply with the regulations.

Petition for Finding under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act Section 3(40)

Key Information

Abstract

The term “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (MEWA) is defined in Section 3(40) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) as an employee welfare benefit plan or any other arrangement which is established or maintained for the purpose of offering or providing [welfare plan benefits] to the employees of two or more employers, (including one or more self-employed individuals), or their beneficiaries, except that such term does not include any such plan or other arrangement which is established or maintained under or pursuant to one or more agreements which the Secretary of Labor (the Secretary) finds to be collective bargaining agreements. Under Section 514(b)(6) of ERISA, an employee welfare benefit plan that is a MEWA is generally subject to state insurance law. The Department's regulation at 29 CFR 2510.3-40 sets forth criteria for determining when an employee welfare benefit plan is established or maintained under or pursuant to collective bargaining agreements for purposes of section 3(40) of ERISA. The Department's regulations at 29 CFR part 2570, subpart H set forth procedures for administrative hearings to obtain a determination by the Secretary as to whether a particular entity is an employee welfare benefit plan established or maintained under or pursuant to one or more collective bargaining agreements for purposes of section 3(40) of ERISA. To initiate adjudicatory proceedings, an entity is required to file a petition for a determination under Section 3(40) of ERISA with an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). The petition must identify the parties, describe the basis on which the petition is being filed and the entity in question, provide evidence that the entity satisfies the criteria to be an employee welfare benefit plan, and include affidavits as to both the competency of the affiant to testify and the facts that allegedly establish the entity as a plan established under or pursuant to agreements that the Secretary finds to be a collective bargaining agreement.
