Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
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.
Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify, or discontinue 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.
ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.

Requirements Related to Surprise Billing: Qualifying Payment Amount, Notice and Consent, Disclosure on Patient Protections Against Balance Billing, and State Law Opt-in (CMS-10780)
Key Information
Abstract
On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116-260), which included the No Surprises Act, was signed into law. The No Surprises Act provides federal protections against surprise billing and limits out-of-network cost sharing under many of the circumstances in which surprise medical bills arise most frequently. The 2021 interim final regulations “Requirements Related to Surprise Billing; Part I” (2021 interim final regulations) issued by the Departments of Health and Humans Services, the Department of Labor, the Department of Treasury, and the Office of Personnel Management, implement provisions of the No Surprises Act that apply to group health plans, health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage, and carriers in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program that provide protections against balance billing and out-of-network cost sharing with respect to emergency services, non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at certain participating health care facilities, and air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers of air ambulance services. The 2021 interim final regulations prohibit nonparticipating providers, emergency facilities, and providers of air ambulance services from balance billing participants, beneficiaries, and enrollees in certain situations unless they satisfy certain notice and consent requirements. The No Surprises Act and the 2021 interim final regulations require group health plans and issuers of health insurance coverage to provide information about qualifying payment amounts to nonparticipating providers and facilities and to provide disclosures on patient protections against balance billing to participants, beneficiaries and enrollees. Self-insured plans opting in to State law are required to provide a disclosure to participants. Certain nonparticipating providers and nonparticipating emergency facilities may are provide participants, beneficiaries, and enrollees with notice and obtain their consent to waive balance billing protections, provided certain requirements are met. In addition, certain providers and facilities are required to provide disclosures on patient protections against balance billing to participants, beneficiaries and enrollees. |

| 202112-2127-002 | 49 CFR Part 543, Petitions for Exemption from the Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard | DOT/NHTSA | 2022-03-17 | Active | Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection
49 CFR Part 543, Petitions for Exemption from the Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard
Key Information
Abstract
49 U.S.C. Chapter 331 requires the Secretary of Transportation to promulgate a theft prevention standard to provide for the identification of certain motor vehicles and their major replacement parts (parts-marking) to impede motor vehicle theft. 49 U.S.C. 33106 provides that a manufacturer may petition for an exemption from this identification process for a certain line of motor vehicles equipped with standard original equipment anti-theft devices, which the Secretary determines are likely to be as effective in reducing or deterring theft as parts-marking would be. 49 CFR Part 543 establishes the procedures whereby manufacturers of vehicles subject to the Part 541 parts-marking requirements (Theft Prevention Standard) may petition the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for one exemption per model year, provided the certain motor vehicle line is equipped with an anti-theft device as standard equipment that meets agency criteria and is as effective as identifying marks required under Part 541. There are two processes for obtaining an exemption from the Theft Prevention Standard. The first process, found at 49 CFR 543.6, provides specific content requirements for petition requests. The second process, found at 49 CFR 543.7, requires manufacturers to submit a statement that the entire line of vehicles is equipped with an immobilizer, as standard equipment, that meets one of four performance standards. The specific information required to be included in a petition by a manufacturer requesting an exemption is used by NHTSA in deciding whether to grant the exemption from Part 541 parts-marking. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period for approval of a reinstatement of this previously approved information collection was published on August 20, 2020 (85 FR 51548). The agency received no comments. The number of total burden hours decreased from 2,100 to 2,094. This slight decrease is due to a change in rounding when calculating the number of burden hours. The last collection also estimated the burden as 2,094 hours, but rounded up to 2,100 hours. |

Covered Savings Association Notice
Key Information
Abstract
The Home Owners’ Loan Act (HOLA), as amended by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA), allows a Federal savings association (FSA) with total consolidated assets of $20 billion or less, as of December 31, 2017, to elect to operate as a covered savings association (CSA). This section of HOLA requires the OCC to issue rules that, among other things, establish streamlined standards and procedures for FSA elections to operate as CSAs and clarify the requirements for the treatment of CSAs. A CSA has the same rights and privileges as a national bank and is subject to the same duties and restrictions as a national bank. Twelve CFR part 101 allows FSAs to elect national bank powers and operate as CSAs. An FSA seeking to operate as a CSA is required under 12 CFR 101.3(a) to submit a notice making an election to the OCC that: (1) is signed by a duly authorized officer of the FSA; and (2) identifies and describes any nonconforming subsidiaries, assets, or activities that the FSA operates, holds, or conducts at the time its submits its notice. Under 12 CFR 101.5(a), the OCC may require a CSA to submit a plan to divest, conform, or discontinue a nonconforming subsidiary, asset, or activity. A CSA may submit a notice to terminate its election to operate as a CSA under 12 CFR 101.6 using similar procedures to those for an election. In addition, after a period of five years, an FSA that has terminated its election to operate as a CSA may submit a notice under 12 CFR 101.7 to reelect using the same procedures used for its original election. |

Fishery Products Subject to Trade Restrictions Pursuant to Certification Under the High Seas Driftnet Fishing (HSDF) Moratorium Protection Act
Key Information
Abstract
Extension of this approved collection is requested. Pursuant to the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act (MPA) or the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), certain fish products may be excluded from U.S. markets. If certain fish or fish products of a nation are subject to import prohibitions (e.g., harvest of a particulary fishery), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requires that other fish or fish products from that nation that are not subject to the import prohibitions must be accompanied by certification of admissibility. A duly authorized official/agent of the applicant’s Government must certify that the fish being imported into the U.S. are of a species, or from a fishery, that is not subject to the import restriction. If a nation is identified under the MPA and fails to receive a positive certification decision from the Secretary of Commerce, products from that nation may be prohibited, and other products not subject to the import prohibitions must be accompanied by certification of admissibility. Likewise, if a nation does not receive a comparability finding for a fishery under the MMPA, products from that nation's fishery may be prohibited and products from other fisheries that are not subject to the import prohibitions must be accompanied by the certification of admissibility. |
