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.

ACL Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Research and Assessment

Key Information

Abstract

A generic clearance for purposes of conducting qualitative research to gain a better understanding of emerging issues related to the Administration for Community Living (ACL) at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) grantees, service providers, and programs; develop future intramural and extramural research projects; and to ensure HHS and ACL leadership, programs, and staff can obtain timely and relevant data and information. ACL defines qualitative feedback as information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions but are not statistical surveys that yield results that can be generalized beyond the population of study. This collection of information is necessary to enable ACL to receive feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with our mission to maximize the independence, well-being, and health of older adults, people with disabilities, and their families and caregivers. ACL implements critical disability and aging programs, serves as the advisor to the HHS Secretary on disability and aging programs, works with other HHS agencies, Departments and the White House on disability and aging issues, and engages a range of disability and aging partners to inform program development, improvement, and implementation. Integral to this role, ACL conducts research and evaluation studies to measure the needs, barriers, and facilitators for ACL programs. Qualitative research, evaluation, and assessment are the main objectives of the activities included in this clearance. The goal of developing these activities is to identify emerging issues and research gaps to ensure the successful implementation of ACL programs. The participants may include subject matter experts appropriate to the question of interest; national, state, and/or local representatives; individuals from aging and disability networks; human service, behavioral health, and healthcare providers; individuals from tribal communities; and/or representatives of other organizations appropriate to the question or questions of interest.

Home Visiting Assessment of Implementation Quality Study: Exploring Family Voice and Leadership in Home Visiting

Key Information

Abstract

The Family Voice and Leadership study aims to explore the extent to which and how family voice and leadership (FVL)—which involves including families in decisions related to program implementation—is currently happening in the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program. This will be done through 1) a brief survey of MIECHV awardees and local program staff on FVL practices and strategies, with follow up interview and focus groups with select staff; and 2) a focus group with families who have participated in FVL strategies. Results will inform strategies for MIECHV-funded home visiting programs to effectively engage families in program decisions.

Non-Standardized Plan Option Limit Exception Justification Form (CMS-10878)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1311(c)(1) of the ACA directs the Secretary to establish criteria for the certification of health plans as qualified health plans (QHPs). Section 1321(a)(1)(B) of the ACA directs the Secretary to issue regulations that set standards for meeting the requirements of title I of the ACA for, among other things, the offering of QHPs through such Exchanges. In the HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2024 Final Rule (2024 Payment Notice Final Rule), HHS exercised its authority under Sections 1311(c)(1) and 1321(a)(1)(B) of the ACA to limit the number of non-standardized plan options that issuers of QHPs can offer through Exchanges on the Federal platform, including both through Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs) and State-Based Exchanges on the Federal platform (SBE-FPs), to four non-standardized plan options per product network type (as described in the definition of “product” at 45 C.F.R. 144.103), metal level (excluding catastrophic plans), inclusion of dental and/or vision benefit coverage, and service area for plan year (PY) 2024, and two for PY 2025 and subsequent plan years. This information collection request (ICR) serves as the formal request for a new information collection clearance associated with the HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2025 Proposed Rule (2025 Payment Notice Proposed Rule) regarding the authority to allow HHS to collect the necessary information to enable QHP issuers to seek to be excepted from the non-standardized plan option limit of two per product network type, metal level, inclusion of dental and/or vision benefit coverage, and service area for PY 2025 and subsequent years, if they so choose.

Changes to the Information Collection Tools Associated with the Final Rule, Intermediate Improvement to the Disability Adjudication Process, Including How We Consider Past Work (RIN 0960-AI83)

Key Information

Abstract

The Social Security Act (Act), sections 42 U.S.C. 423(d)(1)(A) and 1382c(a)(3)(A)-(B), define disability as the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity (SGA) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death, or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. The Act in section 42 U.S.C. 1382c(a)(3)(C), also states that, for adults, an individual shall be determined to have a disability only if their physical or mental impairment(s) are of such severity that they are not only unable to do their previous work but cannot, considering their age, education, and work experience, engage in any other kind of substantial gainful work which exists in the national economy, regardless of whether such work exists in the immediate area in which they live, or whether a specific job vacancy exists for them, or whether they will be hired if they apply for work. SSA uses a five-step sequential evaluation process to determine whether an individual is disabled, as explained under sections 20 CFR 404.1520 and 416.920 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Code). We evaluate at each step in the process to determine if the individual is disabled, and then go to the next step of the sequential evaluation process and continue in this way until we either find the individual disabled or find they do not meet our disability requirements. Under our final rule, Changes to the Intermediate Improvement to the Disability Adjudication Process, Including How We Consider Past Work, we are revising sections 20 CFR 404.1560 and 416.960 of the Code to reduce the relevant work period from the current 15 years to 5 years. In many cases, this revision will reduce the number of jobs in an individual’s work history that we will consider at step four of the sequential evaluation process when we determine whether an individual can perform their PRW. We expect that this change will more accurately reflect how an individual’s acquired skills and knowledge may become less relevant over time after they have stopped performing previous work. In addition, as we largely rely on individuals’ self-reporting for information about past work, and we find that self-reported information is often less accurate and complete with the passage of time. In addition, this change will reduce the information collection burden on individuals by reducing, on average, the number of jobs about which they must provide us with information. We anticipate that requesting work history ending at the 5-year mark will be significantly less burdensome than the current longer work history. We use different forms to collect the work history information necessary for the type and level of adjudication of a claim. Therefore, we anticipate a burden reduction for each of these forms when using a 5-year relevant work period. Under the Final Rule for the Intermediate Improvement to the Disability Adjudication Process, Including How we Consider Past Work, we anticipate reducing the amount of PRW needed for the following information collections: 0960-0300, HA-4633, Claimant's Work Background; 0960-0578, SSA-3369, Work History Report; and 0960-0579, SSA-3368, Disability Report – Adult. We anticipate this will result in a reduction in the overall burden for these information collections. Respondents are applicants for, or recipients of, Social Security disability benefits (SSDI); SSI payments; or their representatives.

Abstract

The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), is a community service and work-based training program for older workers. The program provides subsidized, work-experience training for low-income persons 55 or older who are unemployed and have poor employment prospects. SCSEP national grants are awarded through a competitive process; state and territorial grants are awarded through a formula outlined in the OAA-2016 Section 506 (b-c). The dual goals of the program are to promote useful community service employment activities and to move SCSEP participants into unsubsidized employment, so that they can achieve economic self-sufficiency. The Department is required to collect the information in order to comply with the OAA statutory and regulatory requirements. The information is also necessary for grantee performance accountability and program management.

Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard

Key Information

Abstract

MSHA proposes to lower the existing exposure limit (PEL) for respirable crystalline silica from 100 µg/m3 to 50 µg/m3 at mining operations due to the serious health hazard such exposure presents to miners. Exposure at the existing PEL is known to cause silicosis, an irreversible but preventable lung disease; non-malignant respiratory disease (other than silicosis); lung cancer; and renal and autoimmune effects in susceptible individuals. The proposed rule, once implemented, would significantly enhance health protection for metal and nonmetal miners as well as coal miners. MSHA’s proposed respirable silica rule includes provision for lowering the respirable crystalline silica permissible exposure limit; MSHA’s longstanding practice that the hierarchy of controls be used at metal and nonmetal as well as coal mines to lower exposures; prohibiting rotation of miners for compliance with this rule; a written respiratory protection program; medical evaluation and transfer rights for metal and nonmetal as well as coal miners who are medically unable to wear required respiratory protection under this standard; exposure assessment and monitoring, including rights of miners or their representatives to observe monitoring and have access to records; medical evaluation of miners’ health; and recordkeeping. Proposed paperwork requirements would be contained in a written respiratory protection program, involve medical records, copying and posting of sampling results, and the creation and maintenance of records.

Verification Request and Verification Request Supplement

Key Information

Abstract

In the verification process, a participating agency validates an applicant's immigration status by inputting identifying information into the Verification Information System (VIS), which executes immigration status queries against a range of data sources. If VIS returns an immigration status and the benefit-issuing agency does not find a material discrepancy with the response and the documents provided by the applicant, the verification process is complete. Then, the agency may use that immigration status information in determining whether or not to issue the benefit. In some cases, agencies that do not access the automated verification system may query USCIS by filing Form G-845. Although the Form G-845 does not require it, if needed certain agencies may also file the Form G-845 Supplement with the Form G-845, along with copies of immigration documents to receive additional information necessary to make their benefit determinations. These forms were developed to facilitate communication between all benefit-granting agencies and USCIS to ensure that basic information required to assess status verification requests is provided. USCIS is making minor revisions to the Form G-845 and is streamlining the Form G-845 Supplement with additional immigration statuses that are commonly requested by agencies in order to make their benefit determinations.

Pre-Application Communication and Scheduling for Licensing Actions Related to Digital Instrumentation and Controls

Key Information

Abstract

Operating reactors in the U.S. want to more efficiently integrate and implement digital upgrades into plant systems to address obsolescence issues with analog components and improve overall plant reliability. The regulatory focus for digital systems is tailored to the unique nature of the digital technologies and uses proposed by licensees and applicants. Depending on the scope of an analog to digital or a digital-to-digital upgrade, the level-of-effort for a requested licensing actions (e.g., license amendment, exemption) can be significantly higher than the level-of-effort expended on a routine requested licensing action. Additionally, a significant portion of the level-of-effort for a digital instrumentation and controls (I&C) review will require specialized digital I&C and human factors engineering skills. To better plan and ensure availability of resources to perform digital I&C reviews, the NRC is seeking scheduling information for licensing submittals from all respondents. This information will allow the NRC to better allocate its resources to support the activities associated with licensing these technologies while being better able to meet the licensee’s desired timeline.
