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.

Payment of Premiums (29 CFR part 4007)

Key Information

Abstract

Administrators of PBGC-insured pension plans file with PBGC premium information and premium payments required under 29 USC 1307 and 29 CFR Part 4007, which also requires retention and production of records necessary to support premium filings. The information identifies payers and lets PBGC verify premium computations and perform premium audits. It also helps PBGC project premium income, improve financial projections, estimate its exposure if plans terminate, track movement of participants and assets, determine whether new plans are being created, and update its insured-plan inventory. The retained records facilitate audits.

DOL-Only Performance Accountability, Information, and Reporting System

Key Information

Abstract

This request fulfills Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act reporting requirements regarding the collection of performance indicators described in Sec. 116(b)(2)(A). Requirements for state level collection of this data for the programs contained in this collection are based on WIOA requirements. As part of this ICR, the Department of Labor’s (DOL) Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has made changes to the Participant Individual Record Layout (ETA-9172), (Program) Performance Report (ETA-9173-APPSHP) to facilitate State and grantee performance reporting. In particular, as part of DOL’s effort to streamline program performance reporting for ETA grants with significant apprenticeship components as a primary goal of the program (Apprenticeship grants), DOL is adding the performance information collection requirements for Apprenticeship grants. DOL also is adding a new information collection requirement to this ICR: the Apprenticeship Outreach: Organization/Employer Record Layout.

American Time Use Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The American Time Use Survey (ATUS) is the Nation’s only federally administered, continuous survey on time use in the United States. It measures, for example, time spent with children, working, providing eldercare, sleeping or doing leisure activities. In the United States, several existing Federal surveys collect income and wage data for individuals and families, and analysts often use such measures of material prosperity as proxies for quality of life. Time-use data substantially augment these quality-of-life measures. The data also can be used in conjunction with wage data to evaluate the contribution of non-market work to national economies. This enables comparisons of production between nations that have different mixes of market and non-market activities. The ATUS supports the mission of the Bureau of Labor Statistics by providing data on when, where, and how much employed Americans work. Individuals aged 15 and up are selected from a nationally representative sample of households each month for the ATUS.

Online Submission Form for Supplemental Evidence and Data for Systematic Reviews for the Evidence-based Practice Center Program

Key Information

Abstract

This is an ongoing activity of AHRQ’s Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) Program. AHRQ’s EPC Program develops evidence reports on topics relevant to clinical and other health care organization and delivery issues—specifically those that are common, expensive, and/or significant for the Medicare and Medicaid populations. For example recent reviews have focused on clinical conditions, such as “Cervical Degenerative Disease Treatment: A Systematic Review” ; health delivery topics such as “Postpartum Care up to 1 Year After Pregnancy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” ; and specific technologies such as “Blood-Based Tests for Multiple Cancer Screening: A Systematic Review.” These evidence reports include systematic reviews, technical briefs, and rapid reviews; and provide an essential foundation from which to understand what we know from existing research and what critical research gaps remain. These reports and reviews are based on rigorous, comprehensive syntheses and analyses of the scientific literature on topics. EPC reports and assessments emphasize explicit and detailed documentation of methods, rationale, and assumptions. EPC reports are conducted in accordance with an established policy on financial and nonfinancial interests. These scientific syntheses may include meta-analyses. The EPC Program supports AHRQ’s mission by synthesizing and disseminating the available research as a “science partner” with private and public organizations in their efforts to improve the quality, effectiveness, and appropriateness of health care. The EPC Program is a trusted source of rigorous, comprehensive, and unbiased evidence reviews for stakeholders. The resulting evidence reports are used by Federal and State agencies, private-sector professional societies, health delivery systems, providers, payers, and others committed to evidence-based health care. These end-users may use EPC Program evidence reports to inform policy decisions, clinical practice guidelines, and other healthcare decisions. This activity, Online Submission Form for Supplemental Evidence and Data for Systematic Reviews for the Evidence-based Practice Center Program, seeks to answer the following research question: 1. Are there research studies or other information that can promote the comprehensiveness of AHRQ Evidence-based Practice Center Program evidence reviews? This research has the following goals: 1. Use research methods to gather knowledge on the effectiveness and harms of certain treatments and healthcare delivery processes and models for medical conditions, both published and unpublished, to evaluate the quality of research studies and the evidence from these studies. 2. Promote the use of evidence in healthcare decision making to improve healthcare and health 3. Identify research gaps to inform future research investments

DoD-wide Data Collection and Analysis for the Department of Defense Qualitative and Quantitative Data Collection in Support of the Independent Review Commission on Sexual Assault Recommendations

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of the Undersecretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness; OUSD(P&R)) within the Department of Defense (DoD) is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance for DoD-wide quantitative and qualitative data collection in support of the implementation and evaluation of the Secretary of Defense-approved Independent Review Commission on Sexual Assault in the Military’s (IRC) 82 recommendations. These recommendations are detailed in the Secretary of Defense Memo “Commencing DoD Actions and Implementation to Address Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment in the Military." These information collections will be conducted by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) components, Military Departments, Military Services, and/or National Guard Bureau (NGB) (hereafter referred to as DoD). DoD will collect quantitative and qualitative data through in-person and computer/web-based surveys and assessments, focus groups, interviews, site visits, panel discussions, user-experience testing, and message development and testing. Information collection efforts will align to the four IRC Lines of Effort (LOE) that guided the development of the IRC’s recommendations: LOE 1 – Accountability; LOE 2 – Prevention; LOE 3 – Climate and Culture; and LOE 4 – Victim Care and Support. Although research studies may also address risk factors outside of sexual assault, DoD will primarily use this research to inform improvements to or the development of sexual assault prevention and response programs, methods, and policies.

Collection of Information for AHRQ's Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture Comparative Database

Key Information

Abstract

The SOPS Hospital Survey is designed to enable hospitals to assess provider and staff perspectives about patient safety issues, medical error, and error reporting. In 2004, Version 1.0 of the survey, which includes 42 items that measure 12 composites of patient safety culture, was released on the AHRQ website. AHRQ made the survey publicly available along with a Survey User’s Guide and other toolkit materials. In 2019, an updated version of the survey, Version 2.0, was released on the AHRQ website (OMB 0935-0230, approved 01/21/2016). This version includes a total of 40 items: 32 items across 10 composite measures, 2 single-item measures, and 6 background questions. The AHRQ SOPS Hospital Database consists of data from the AHRQ SOPS Hospital Survey 2.0 and may include reportable, non-required supplemental items . Hospitals in the U.S. can voluntarily submit data from the survey to AHRQ, through its contractor, Westat. The SOPS Hospital Database (OMB NO. 0935-0162, last approved on October 18, 2022) was developed by AHRQ in 2006 in response to requests from hospitals interested in tracking their own survey results. Organizations submitting data receive a feedback report, as well as a report of the aggregated, de-identified findings of the other hospitals submitting data. These reports are used to assist hospital staff in their efforts to improve patient safety culture in their organizations. Rationale for the information collection. The SOPS Hospital Survey and the SOPS Hospital Database support AHRQ’s goals of promoting improvements in the quality and safety of healthcare in hospitals. The survey, toolkit materials, and database results are all made publicly available on AHRQ’s website. Technical assistance is provided by AHRQ through its contractor at no charge to hospitals, to facilitate the use of these materials for hospital patient safety and quality improvement. The SOPS Hospital Database seeks to answer the following research questions: 1. What is the current state of patient safety culture in hospitals? 2. Has there been a change in patient safety culture scores since the previous database? 3. Are there differences in scores based on staff position and unit/work area? The goals of the SOPS Hospital Database are: 1. Produce aggregated results from hospitals that voluntarily submit their data; and 2. Provide feedback reports to hospitals that voluntarily submit their data to help them identify their strengths and areas for improvement in patient safety culture.

Hazardous Conditions Complaints

Key Information

Abstract

Under Section 103(g) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as amended (Mine Act), a representative of miners, or any individual miner where there is no representative of miners, may submit a written or oral notification of alleged violation or imminent danger of the Mine Act or a mandatory standard or of an imminent danger. The notifier has the right to obtain an immediate inspection by MSHA. A copy of the notice must be provided to the operator, with individual miner names redacted. MSHA regulations at 30 C.F.R. part 43 implement section 103(g) of the Mine Act. These regulations provide the procedures for submitting notification of the alleged violation and the actions that MSHA must take after receiving the notice. Although the regulations contain a review procedure (required by section 103(g)(2) of the Mine Act) whereby a miner or a representative of miners may in writing request a review if no citation or order is issued as a result of the original notice, the option is so rarely used that it was not considered in the burden estimates.

Abstract

SSA regularly reviews individuals’ claims for SVB to determine their continued eligibility and the correct payment amounts. Individuals living outside of the United States who receive SVB must report to SSA any changes that may affect their benefits. We initiate this collection request by sending yearly notice with instructions (SSA 2010-F6 Cover Letter), which includes an SSA 2010 F6. Since we cannot rely on self-reporting, SSA uses Form SSA-2010-F6 to collect this required information from beneficiaries living outside the United States (U.S.) who are collecting SVB. All SVB beneficiaries have interviews with the Federal Benefits Unit (FBU) every year, who assist them in completing this form. Respondents are SVB beneficiaries living outside the U.S.

Complaint Involving Employment Discrimination by a Federal Contractor or Subcontractor

Key Information

Abstract

On January 21, 2025, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity (E.O. 14173), which revoked E.O. 11246. Therefore, applicants and employees of Federal contractors and subcontractors, authorized representatives, or third parties may file complaints of employment discrimination with OFCCP pursuant to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, but may no longer file complaints with OFCCP pursuant to E.O. 11246. OFCCP is requesting approval to revise questions on its complaint and pre-complaint inquiry forms to align with E.O. 14173. Following the revocation of E.O. 11246, OFCCP sought emergency approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to remove the items related to E.O. 11246 from the forms. OMB approved OFCCP’s request on July 2, 2025. On July 7, 2025, OFCCP also published a 60-day Federal Register notice seeking comments from the public on the updated forms and information collection request. OFCCP is now issuing the 30-day notice and supporting statement, which responds to the public comments.

Certification and Compliance Requirements for Nonroad Spark-ignition Engines (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is requested under the authority of Title II of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.) Under this Title, EPA is charged with issuing certificates of conformity for those engines which comply with applicable emission standards. Such a certificate must be issued before engines may be legally introduced into commerce. To apply for a certificate of conformity, manufacturers are required to submit descriptions of their planned production line, including detailed descriptions of the emission control system, and test data. This information is organized by engine family groups expected to have similar emission characteristics. The emission values achieved during certification testing may also be used in the Averaging, Banking, and Trading (ABT) Program. The program allows manufacturers to bank credits for engine families that emit below the standard and use the credits for families that emit above the standard. They may also trade banked credits with other manufacturers. Participation in the ABT program is voluntary. Different categories of spark-ignition engines may also be required to comply with production-line testing (PLT) and in-use testing. There are also recordkeeping and labeling requirements. This information is collected electronically by the Gasoline Engine Compliance Branch (GECB), Implementation, Analysis and Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ), Office of Air and Radiation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. GECC uses this information to ensure that manufacturers comply with applicable regulations and the Clean Air Act (CAA). It may also be used by the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) and the Department of Justice for enforcement purposes. Non-CBI may be disclosed on OTAQ's Web site or upon request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to trade associations, environmental groups, and the public. Any information submitted for which a claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR 2.201 et seq.

NSPS for Kraft Pulp Mills (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart BB) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the regulations published at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart BB were proposed on September 24, 1976, promulgated on February 23, 1978, and amended on April 4, 2014. These regulations apply to the following facilities at existing kraft pulp mills that commenced construction, reconstruction, or modification after September 24, 1976 and on or before May 23, 2013: recovery furnaces, smelt dissolving tanks, lime kilns, digester systems, brown stock washer systems, black liquor oxidation systems, multiple effect evaporator systems and condensate stripper systems. In pulp mills where kraft pulping is combined with neutral sulfite semi-chemical pulping, the provisions of this Subpart are applicable when any portion of the material charged to an affected facility is produced by the kraft pulping operation. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart BB. New facilities that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after May 23, 2013 are subject to regulation under 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart BBa. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS.

Pesticides Data Call In Program (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR covers the information collection (IC) activities associated with the issuance of data-call-ins (DCIs) under section 3(c)(2)(B) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). EPA regulates the use of pesticides under the authority of two federal statutes: FIFRA and the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) , both as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996. In general, before manufacturers can sell pesticides in the United States, EPA must evaluate the pesticides thoroughly to ensure that they meet federal safety standards to protect human health and the environment. EPA grants a "registration" or license that permits a pesticide's distribution, sale, and use only after the company meets the scientific and regulatory requirements. FIFRA also requires EPA to assess whether the continued registration of a pesticide causes unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment and to decide whether to pursue appropriate regulatory measures. EPA uses the DCIs issued under this ICR to acquire the data necessary to support registration review. In evaluating a pesticide registration application, EPA assesses a wide variety of potential human health and environmental effects associated with the use of the product. Applicants, or potential registrants, must generate or provide the scientific data necessary to address concerns pertaining to the identity, composition, potential adverse effects, and environmental fate of each pesticide. The data allow EPA to evaluate whether a pesticide has the potential to cause harmful effects to human health and the environment, including effects to non-target organisms, federally threatened and endangered (listed) species, and to surface water or ground water. Through a rigorous scientific and public process, EPA specifies the kinds of data and information necessary to make regulatory judgments about the risks and benefits of pesticide products under FIFRA section 3, 4 and 5, as well as the data and information needed to determine the safety of pesticide chemical residues under FFDCA section 408. The regulations in 40 CFR part 158 describe the minimum data and information EPA typically requires to support an application for pesticide registration or amendment; support the reregistration of a pesticide product; support the maintenance of a pesticide registration by means of the data call-in process (e.g., as used in the registration review program); or establish or maintain a tolerance or exemption from the requirements of a tolerance for a pesticide chemical residue. As described in 40 CFR 158.30, however, FIFRA provides EPA with flexibility to require, or not require, data and information for the purposes of making regulatory judgments for individual pesticide products, thereby allowing for the data required to be modified on an individual basis to fully characterize the use and properties, characteristics, or effects of specific pesticide products under review. EPA may, therefore, require the submission of additional data or information beyond that specified in the regulations if such data or information are needed to evaluate a pesticide product as required by FIFRA and FFDCA. This ICR describes how DCIs are issued and presents the Agency’s estimates of the information collection burden and costs associated with issuing DCIs.

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Secondary Aluminum Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart RRR) were promulgated on March 23, 2000; and amended on the following dates: December 30, 2002 (67 FR 79808); September 3, 2004 (69 FR 53980); October 3, 2005 (70 FR 57513); December 19, 2005 (70 FR 75320); September 18, 2015 (80 FR 56700); and June 13, 2016 (81 FR 38085). These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that are secondary aluminum production facilities and major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) either commencing construction, or reconstruction, after the date of proposal. This includes facilities that operate aluminum scrap shredders, thermal chip dryers, scrap dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating kilns, group 1 furnaces, group 2 furnaces, sweat furnaces, dross only furnaces, rotary dross coolers, and secondary aluminum processing units (SAPUs). The SAPUs include group 1 furnaces and in-line fluxers. The regulations also apply to secondary aluminum production facilities that are area sources of HAP only with respect to emissions of dioxins/furans (D/F) from thermal chip dryers, scrap dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating kilns, group 1 furnaces, sweat furnaces, and SAPUs. New facilities include those that commenced either construction, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart RRR.
