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.

FAA Entry Point Filing Form - International Registry

Key Information

Abstract

Respondents wishing to register an interest in certain U.S. aircraft and eligible aircraft equipment must do so through the International Registry, which is operated by Aviareto, a joint-venture between SITA SC and the Irish Government. However, under the Treaty and FAA’s implementing regulations, the FAA is responsible for reviewing the information provided for completeness and accuracy. The purpose of this information collection is to allow the FAA to authenticate a claim. Once the FAA assesses the form for completeness and accuracy, the FAA provides the respondent with an authorization code that accompanies the transmission of information to the International Registry. Responding to this collection is mandatory in order to obtain an authorization code; however, submitting the information to the International Registry is voluntary. Respondents are typically financial or leasing institutions but could be individuals or companies.

Abstract

Law enforcement agencies (LEAs) at all levels submit requests to ATF to trace guns used in crimes. So that ATF may swiftly and accurately provide responsive information on these crime guns, ATF requests LEAs to submit certain information on Form 3312.1 that will aid ATF in tracing the firearm. ATF reports the resulting information only to the requesting LEA and does not create a registry of firearms in the process.

Revision of a currently approved collection
FERC-549C, Standards for Business Practices of Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines (NOPR in Docket No. RM96-1-044)

Key Information

Abstract

The proposals in the NOPR would, if implemented, revise the information collection activities in FERC-549C. This NOPR seeks to incorporate by reference a modified WGQ Version 4.0. This modification added a new standard, WGQ Standard No. 0.3.30, to the Additional Standards manual, which supports a natural gas transportation service provider in posting scheduled quantity information for power plants directly connected to the pipeline, as part of the newly established Gas Electric Coordination category. This modification establishes a new information posting category, Gas Electric Coordination, for use by a transportation service provider as part of its Informational Postings Web site. The revised WGQ Standard No. 4.3.23 creates a central location on an Informational Postings Web site where a transportation service provider can post publicly available data, including scheduled quantity information, to help RTOs/ISOs and other parties access these data. Further, a new standard was added WGQ Standard No. 5.3.74 under the Capacity Release Related Standards manual, to support the inclusion of geographic information when a natural gas transportation service provider issues a critical notice, such as geographic information of impacted areas, locations, and pipeline facilities.

Revision of a currently approved collection

Key Information

Abstract

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is submitting a substantive change request to revise the currently approved information collection for the Fruit, Nut, and Specialty Crops Surveys (OMB No. 0535-0039). This change reflects a programmatic adjustment to the Florida citrus data collection strategy. Specifically, NASS proposes to discontinue the Florida Citrus Processors Inquiry and incorporate Florida into the Quarterly Citrus Survey. This adjustment will streamline internal data collection operations and align Florida’s citrus data reporting with the methodology used in other citrus-producing states. While this change will not reduce overall respondent burden, it will improve consistency across states and enhance operational efficiency. Florida will adopt the California version of the Quarterly Citrus Survey questionnaire, ensuring uniformity in data collection instruments. No changes are being made to the core survey instruments beyond the inclusion of Florida in the sampling frame and associated scheduling adjustments.

INA section 221(a), 8 U.S.C. § 1201(a), provides that a consular officer may issue an immigrant visa to an alien who has made a proper application.Emergency Justfication:The Department of State (“the Department”) requests immediate emergency approval for a new Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration for “Gold Visa” applicants -the “Gold Visa Application” (DS-260G). On September 19, 2025, President Trump signed EO 14351 announcing the Gold Card visa program. The EO directs the Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security, to establish the “Gold Card” program authorizing an alien who makes a gift to the Department of Commerce under 15 U.S.C. 1522 (or for whom a corporation or similar entity makes such a gift) to establish eligibility for an immigrant visa using an expedited process. The EO states that in adjudicating visa applications, the Secretary of State shall, consistent with applicable law, treat this gift as evidence of eligibility as either an EB-1 alien under INA 203(b)(1)(A), 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(1)(A), of exceptional business ability or an EB-2 alien of national benefit under INA section 203(b)(2)(A), 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(2)(A), and of eligibility for a national-interest waiver under INA section 203(b)(2)(B), 8 U.S.C. 1153(b)(2)(B). The Department, the Department of Commerce (Commerce), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have determined a proper application for a Gold Visa shall require a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)-approved I-140G, Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program, and that the alien provide detailed background information for national security vetting purposes in accordance with EO 14161. The Department will use the DS-260G to ensure aliens applying for a Gold Card meet eligibility requirements for an EB-1 or EB-2 immigrant visa. This new form is based upon the currently approved Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, DS-260. However, a new information collection is necessary as the DS-260 does not have the technical capability to process Gold Card applicants, who are required to provide a substantial donation to the U.S. Government of $1 million to $2 million in accordance with EO 14351. EO 14351 requires the Department, Commerce, and DHS to take all necessary and appropriate steps to implement the Gold Card program within 90 days of the order. Utilizing the normal clearance procedures for this collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) would prevent the Department from complying with the EO’s December 18, 2025, deadline. The Department concludes it is necessary to seek emergency review and approval for this information collection in accordance with 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13 and certifies that the requirements of 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13(a) are met because: • The DS-260G is needed prior to the expiration of time periods established under the PRA and its implementing regulations; • The DS-260G is essential to the mission of the Department; and • An unanticipated event has occurred. The unanticipated, adverse event began on October 1, 2025, and continued until November 13, 2025; specifically, the most recent federal government shutdown. Across the nation, this shutdown placed 650,000 federal workers on furlough, while 600,000 more were working without pay. The Federal government shutdown impacted essential partners, including colleagues at DHS, Commerce, and the Office of Management and Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Because of the shutdown, personnel and resources were not available to undertake the PRA’s ordinary public process. The Department completed all feasible measures during the shutdown, but it was not possible to move forward with the process until furloughed colleagues resumed their critical roles in this collaborative federal effort. Therefore, the Department requests OMB formal emergency review and approval of this information collection under 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13.
