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.

Prevention Services Data Collection
Key Information
Abstract
Section 471(e) of the Social Security Act (the Act) (42 U.S.C. 671) as amended by Public Law 115-123 allows state and tribal child welfare agencies to receive reimbursement for some of the costs of providing prevention services to certain children and their parents or kin caregivers. The Act requires state and tribal child welfare agencies that provide such services to collect and report to the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) information on children receiving the prevention and family services and programs. States and tribes must report : • The specific services or programs provided, • The total expenditures for each of the services or programs provided, • The duration of the services or programs provided, and • If the child was identified in a prevention plan as a candidate for foster care: o the child's placement status at the beginning, and at the end, of the 12-month period that begins on the date the child was identified as a candidate for foster care in a prevention plan; and o whether the child entered foster care during the initial 12-month period and during the subsequent 12-month period; and • Basic demographic information (e.g., age, sex, race/Hispanic Latino ethnicity). During the first information collection period the Children’s Bureau (CB) had 42 state and tribal jurisdictions opt into the voluntary Title IV-E Prevention Services Program which included opting in to Prevention Services data collection effort. These states and tribes are in various stages of preparing for data collection, and submitting data to the CB. Data submission for these states will continue into future reporting periods. During the next reporting period, CB anticipates that approximately twelve more states and tribes will opt into the voluntary Title IV-E Prevention Services Program, and as a result, will opt into this information collection effort. These states will then begin preparing for and submitting data to the CB. However, since this program is voluntary and therefore this number could fluctuate depending on the individual priorities of child welfare jurisdictions. |

Economic Surveys of Specific US Commercial Fisheries
Key Information
Abstract
NMFS needs economic data to comply with or support a variety of laws, including the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, Executive Orders and NMFS strategies and policies. It will collect the information from owners/operators of active fishing vessels, permit/license holders and other well-defined groups of fishermen. NMFS and the Regional Fishery Management Councils will use this information to monitor, explain and predict changes in the economic performance and impacts of specific commercial fisheries. Among other things, this will enable fisheries managers and the public to more fully consider the economic effects of proposed and existing regulations for federally managed fisheries. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS or NOAA Fisheries) is requesting an extension and revisions to this standard collection of information. The proposed revisions would do the following to the currently approved information collection. 1. Add the an information collection for the Greater Atlantic Region Commercial Fisheries, which was approved under OMB Control Number 0648-0643 and later discontinued; 2. Increase the burden hours to account for that addition information collection; 3. Make minor changes to the survey forms that primarily provide flexibility with respect to when NMFS will conduct each of the 16 information collections; and 4. Extend it for three years. |

Sections 2712 and 2719A of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), as added by the Affordable Care Act, contain rescission notice, and patient protection disclosure requirements that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The No Surprises Act, enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, amended section 2719A of the PHS Act to sunset when the new emergency services protections under the No Surprises Act take effect. The provisions of section 2719A of the PHS Act will no longer apply with respect to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The No Surprises Act re-codified the patient protections related to choice of health care professional under section 2719A of the PHS Act in newly added section 9822 of the Internal Revenue Code, section 722 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and section 2799A-7 of the PHS Act and extended the applicability of these provisions to grandfathered health plans for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The rescission notice will be used by health plans to provide advance notice to certain individuals that their coverage may be rescinded as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of material fact. The patient protection notification will be used by health plans to inform certain individuals of their right to choose a primary care provider or pediatrician and to use obstetrical/gynecological services without prior authorization. The related provisions are finalized in the 2015 final regulations titled “Final Rules under the Affordable Care Act for Grandfathered Plans, Preexisting Condition Exclusions, Lifetime and Annual Limits, Rescissions, Dependent Coverage, Appeals, and Patient Protections” (80 FR 72192, November 18, 2015) and 2021 interim final regulations titled “Requirements Related to Surprise Billing; Part I”. The 2015 final regulations also require that, if State law prohibits balance billing, or a plan or issuer is contractually responsible for any amounts balanced billed by an out-of-network emergency services provider, a plan or issuer must provide a participant, beneficiary or enrollee adequate and prominent notice of their lack of financial responsibility with respect to amounts balanced billed in order to prevent inadvertent payment by the individual. Plans and issuers will not be required to provide this notice for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2022. |

Global Business Identifier (GBI)
Key Information
Abstract
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is launching a Global Business Identifier (GBI) Evaluative Proof of Concept (EPoC) which aims to determine a single identifier solution that will uniquely discern main legal entity and ownership; specific business and global locations; and supply chain roles and functions. EPoC participants are required to obtain and submit three identifiers that provide additional information about trade entities and supply chain locations associated with U.S. imports, to CBP for enrollment into the EPoC and during the Entry process. The three identifiers are: • Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) – owned and managed by the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) • Global Location Number (GLN)– owned and managed by GS1 • Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) – owned and managed by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) EPoC participants will also provide applicant information: company/entity legal name, legal entity headquarters and/or manufacturing site address, business phone number (associated with provided address), company website, Manufacture/Shipper Identification Code (MID), and Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) identification number (optional). Automated Broker Interface (ABI) filers (including brokers and self-filers) may be required to complete a GBI enrollment process, via ABI, prior to submitting the identifiers on an electronic entry (CBP Form 3461). Filers are responsible for the associated costs to obtain all three identifiers and will submit each identifier for the following supply chain roles: • Manufacturer / Producer (required) • Shipper (required) • Seller (required) • Exporter (optional) • Distributer (optional) • Packager (optional) Section 484 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S. Code 1484) and Part 141, Code of Federal Regulations, Title 19 (19 CFR Part 141), pertain to the entry of merchandise and authorize CBP to require information that is necessary for CBP to determine whether merchandise may be released from CBP custody. Provisions of the U.S. Code and CBP regulations, in various parts and related to various types of merchandise, specify information that is required for entry. For reference, Part 163, Code of Federal Regulations, Title 19 (19 CFR Part 163 Appendix A) refers to a wide variety of regulatory provisions for certain information that may be required by CBP. By testing the identifiers CBP will take its first step in determining whether to amend regulations to mandate the GBI solution. Furthermore, CBP will understand the utility of collecting and/or combining the identifiers’ data and can make an informed decision on whether to mandate the use of the GBI solution as an alternative for the Manufacturer/Shipper Identification Code (MID) |
