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.

Examinations and Testing of Electrical Equipment, Including Examination, Testing, and Maintenance of High Voltage Longwalls

Key Information

Abstract

Section 103(h) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 813, authorizes MSHA to collect information necessary to carry out its duty in protecting the safety and health of miners. It has long been known that inadequate maintenance of electric equipment is a major cause of serious electrical accidents in the coal mining industry. MSHA regulations require the mine operator to establish an electrical maintenance program by specifying minimum requirements for the examination, testing, and maintenance of electric equipment. The regulations also contain recordkeeping requirements that help operators in implementing an effective maintenance program. This ICR requires coal mine operators to frequently exam, test, and properly maintain all electrical equipment and high voltage longwall mining systems and to keep records of the examinations and tests.

Hoist Operators' Physical Fitness

Key Information

Abstract

30 CFR 56.19057 and 57.19057 require the annual examination and certification of hoist operators' fitness by a qualified, licensed physician. The information is used by mine operators and MSHA enforcement personnel to verify that persons operating hoisting equipment are physically able to safely perform their functions. . If MSHA cannot verify that hoist operators are capable of performing their assigned tasks, the individuals themselves, and those requiring hoisting into or out of a mine, may be at risk. Hoist operators provide a critical service to all personnel and equipment going into and out of some surface and underground mines, as well as emergency responders on an as-needed basis. Improper hoisting, caused by the inability of a hoist operator to function effectively due to a medical problem, can cause serious injury or death.

Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection
The Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Program: Part C Explanation of Benefits and Supporting Regulations (CMS-10453) - IRA

Key Information

Abstract

Section 11201 of the IRA makes significant changes to the Part D benefit design which require CMS to make corresponding revisions to the Part D EOB model. Beginning in 2024, the IRA revises section 1860D-2(b)(4)(A)(i)(II) of the Act to eliminate enrollee cost sharing after the enrollee has incurred costs equal to the annual out-of-pocket threshold specified in section 1860D-2(b)(4)(B)(i) of the Act. Beginning in 2025, the IRA eliminates the coverage gap benefit phase, sunsets the Coverage Gap Discount Program, and introduces new manufacturer discounts in the initial and catastrophic coverage phases. Medicare Advantage organizations (MAOs) and Medicare Prescription Drug Program (Part D) plan sponsors are required to provide their enrollees with a written explanation of benefits (EOB) when benefits are provided under the plan. Section 1860D-4(a)(4) of the Social Security Act, requires that Part D sponsors distribute to enrollees a notice of benefits used in relation to the Part D initial coverage limit and annual out-of-pocket threshold. CMS codified Part D EOB requirements at 42 CFR § 423.128(e). Section 1852(k)(2)(C)(i) of the Act requires MAOs that offer a private fee-for-service (PFFS) plan to provide enrollees with a written EOB, including a clear statement about the enrollee’s liability, when payment is sought under the plan. CMS regulations specifying that all MAOs provide an EOB when Part C benefits are used are codified at 42 CFR § 422.111(k). Information in this collection is needed to ensure that MA and Part D enrollees receive consistent and timely information about costs associated with their medical claims. Part C and Part D EOBs allow enrollees to track their out-of-pocket expenses and benefit utilization in relation to their plan’s deductible and out-of-pocket threshold.

Certification of Enforcement of Vehicle Size and Weight Laws

Key Information

Abstract

Section 141 of Title 23 U.S.C. requires an annual certification from each State in order to qualify for the next year’s apportionment of Federal-aid funds for highway construction and maintenance. Less frequent collection is, therefore, not appropriate. The information which each State is required to submit to the FHWA includes a signed, certifying statement attesting to the actual resources applied during the prior fiscal year to enforcement operations aimed at assuring compliance with commercial vehicle size and weight provisions. The submission also identifies State vehicle size and weight laws and regulations that recently have been proposed or enacted, and includes a data report on numbers of enforcement actions taken and sanctions imposed. Beginning in the 4th Quarter of FY 2005, FHWA activated its on-line website, allowing electronic submissions, thereby eliminating the compilation and submission of a paper document. All States submit their certification statements electronically. The vehicle size and weight data may be collected electronically by the States at fixed platform scales, or manually at portable and semi-portable scales. Weigh-in-motion (WIM) screening equipment is also employed to screen at speed in the roadway. WIM identifies vehicles potentially operating above allowable weight limits and is typically employed in conjunction with permanent scale operations located immediately down the road from the WIM site. This information is collected by the Federal Highway Administration in their VSW software application.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for revision and extension of a current information collection. A minor programmatic change is being requested to add a pre-application requirement to eliminate the overall burden on applicants. Each applicant must submit a pre-application for review through email to NOAA to prevent the expenditure of effort on full applications that are not likely to be successful. All applicants will receive a response to their pre-application via email from NOAA indicating whether or not they are authorized to submit a full application. Only those who receive authorization from NOAA are eligible to submit a full application, which will reduce significantly the overall number of full applications. The Dr. Nancy Foster Scholarship Program provides support for master’s and doctoral degrees in oceanography, marine biology, or maritime archaeology—this can include but is not limited to ocean and/or coastal: engineering, social science, marine education, marine stewardship, resource management disciplines—and particularly encourages women and members of minority groups to apply. The scholarship supports independent graduate level research through financial support of graduate degrees in such fields. NOAA recognizes the student's need to ensure that scholarly research, which is often hypothesis based, addresses critical gaps in knowledge about ecological processes, physiological mechanisms, evolutionary underpinnings, human behaviors, preferences and values, and related areas. The nature of the NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries’ research, as well as interactions with sanctuary staff and partners with similar goals, can help students fulfill their degree requirements through work benefiting not only national marine sanctuaries, but marine conservation more broadly and ecosystem science as a whole. In addition to natural resource studies, scholars may investigate socioeconomic, maritime archaeological and maritime heritage resource studies in national marine sanctuaries.

Transportation Performance Management Performance Biennial Reports

Key Information

Abstract

The MAP-21 (Pub. L. 112-141) and FAST Act (Pub. L. 114-94) transformed the Federal-aid highway program by establishing new requirements for transportation performance management (TPM) to ensure the most efficient investment of Federal transportation funds. Prior to MAP-21, there were no explicit requirements for State DOTs to demonstrate how their transportation program supported national performance outcomes. State DOTs were not required to measure condition or performance, establish targets, assess progress toward targets, or report on condition or performance in a nationally consistent manner that FHWA could use to assess the entire system. Without States reporting on the above factors, it was difficult for FHWA to examine the effectiveness of the Federal-aid highway program as a means to address surface transportation performance at a national level. The TPM regulations changed this paradigm and require states to measure condition or performance, establish targets, assess progress towards targets, and report on condition or performance biennially (23 USC 150 (e) and 23 CFR 490.107). The required biennial reports contain information such as: transportation condition and performance targets, a discussion of the basis for those targets, progress toward targets, a historic baseline, discussion of coordination efforts, reports on freight bottlenecks, other information applicable or relevant to specific State or region. These biennial reports allow the assessment of progress in a consistent manner nationally and allow FHWA to assess if State DOT’s have achieved significant progress toward meeting their targets, as required by 23 CFR 490.109. The requested revision to the data collection is to account for the addition of the GHG measure to 23 CFR 490 subpart A and subpart E.
