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.
Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

Abstract
SSA uses Form SSA-8001-BK to determine an applicant’s eligibility for SSI and SSI payment amounts. SSA employees also collect this information during interviews with members of the public who wish to file for SSI. SSA uses the information for two purposes: (1) to formally deny SSI for nonmedical reasons when information the applicant provides results in ineligibility; or (2) to establish a disability claim, but defer the complete development of non-medical issues until SSA approves the disability. The respondents are applicants for SSI payments. |

Identity Theft Red Flags and Address Discrepancies under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act)
Key Information
Abstract
Section 114 of the FACT Act amended section 615 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to require the Agencies (OCC, FRB, FDIC, NCUA, and FTC) to issue jointly: • Guidelines for financial institutions and creditors regarding identity theft with respect to their account holders and customers (in developing the guidelines, the Agencies are required to identify patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity that indicate the possible existence of identity theft. The guidelines must be updated as often as necessary and cannot be inconsistent with the policies and procedures required under section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, 31 U.S.C. 5318(l).); • Regulations that require each financial institution and each creditor to establish reasonable policies and procedures for implementing the guidelines to identify possible risks to account holders or customers or to the safety and soundness of the institution or creditor; and • Regulations generally requiring credit and debit card issuers to assess the validity of change of address requests under certain circumstances. Section 315 of the FACT Act amended section 605 of the FCRA to require the Agencies to issue regulations providing guidance regarding reasonable policies and procedures that a user of consumer reports must employ when a user receives a notice of address discrepancy from a consumer reporting agency (CRA). These regulations were required to describe reasonable policies and procedures for users of consumer reports to: • Enable a user to form a reasonable belief that it knows the identity of the person for whom it has obtained a consumer report; and • Reconcile the address of the consumer with the CRA, if the user establishes a continuing relationship with the consumer and regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnishes information to the CRA. |

Key Information
Abstract
This justification supports the revision of OMB Control No. 9000-0069 and combines it with the previously approved information collections under OMB Control No. 9000-0196, with the new title “Indirect Cost Rate Proposals, Payments to Small Business Subcontractors, and Bankruptcy Notifications”. Upon approval of this consolidated information collection, OMB Control No. 9000-0196 will be discontinued. The burden requirements previously approved under the discontinued number will be covered under OMB Control No. 9000-0069. This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements: FAR 52.216-7, Allowable Cost and Payment. This clause requires the contractor to submit an adequate final indirect cost rate proposal to the contracting officer and the auditor within the 6-month period following the expiration of each of its fiscal years. The proposed rates shall be based on the contractor’s actual cost experience for that period. Paragraphs (d)(2)(iii) and (iv) of this clause provide a list of the data required to be submitted. The data is customary business financial information that the contractor can access from its automated business systems. FAR 52.216-15, Predetermined Indirect Cost Rates. This clause repeats the requirement in the FAR clause at 52.216-7, paragraph (d), for the contractor to submit an adequate final indirect cost rate proposal, however it does not impose any additional reporting requirements. FAR 52.242-4, Certification of Final Indirect Costs. This clause requires the contractor’s final indirect cost rate proposal to be certified to establish or modify the rates used to reimburse the contractor for the costs of performing under the contract. The supporting cost data are the cost accounting information normally prepared by organizations under sound management and accounting practices. This clause is incorporated into all solicitations and contracts that provide for establishment of final indirect cost rates, but the Department of Energy may provide an alternate clause for its Management and Operating contracts. FAR 52.242-5, Payments to Small Business Subcontractors. This clause requires the prime contractor to self-report to the contracting officer when the prime contractor makes late or reduced payments to small business subcontractors. The notice shall include the reason(s) for making the reduced or untimely payment. FAR 52.242-13, Bankruptcy. This clause requires contractors to notify the contracting officer within five days after initiating the proceedings relating to bankruptcy filing. |

Complaints Submission Process under the No Surprises Act (CMS-10779)
Key Information
Abstract
Enacted on December 27, 2020, the No Surprises Act, which was enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code). The No Surprise Act implements provisions that protect individuals from surprise medical bills for emergency services, air ambulance services furnished by nonparticipating providers, and non-emergency services furnished by nonparticipating providers at participating facilities in certain circumstances. Additionally, the No Surprises Act sets forth a complaints processes with respect to potential violations of balance billing requirements set forth in the No Surprises Act. 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” (86 FR 36872, 2021 interim final regulations) issued by the Departments of Health and Humans Services (HHS), Department of Labor (DOL), the Department of Treasury (collectively, the Departments), implement provisions of the No Surprises Act that apply to group health plans, health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage 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 No Surprises Act and the 2021 interim final regulations directs the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Department of Treasury (collectively, “the Departments”) to establish a process to receive complaints regarding violations of the application of qualifying payment amount (QPA) requirements by group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group or individual health coverage. The No Surprises Act also directs HHS to establish a process to receive consumer complaints regarding violations by health care providers, facilities, and providers of air ambulance services regarding balance billing requirements and to respond to such complaints within 60 days. |

Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) Decision Appeal Forms
Key Information
Abstract
The Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-163) established 38 U.S.C. 1720G, which directed the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to establish a Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) and a Program of General Caregiver Support Services (PGCSS). Both programs are managed by VA’s Caregiver Support Program (CSP) Office. Since program inception, Veterans and caregivers who disagree with a PCAFC decision were afforded the right to appeal through the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Clinical Appeals Process. A recent Court ruling has changed the appeal and review options now available to individuals who have received a PCAFC decision and disagree with that decision. On April 19, 2021, in the case of Jeremy Beaudette & Maya Beaudette v. Denis McDonough, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims ruled in favor of petitioners seeking review by the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA or Board) of decisions under the PCAFC. The Court also certified, as a class, claimants who received an adverse benefits decision under PCAFC, exhausted the administrative review process within VHA (the VHA Clinical Appeals Process), and have not been afforded the right to appeal to the Board. As a result of the Court’s ruling, BVA review is now available to individuals who have received a decision under the PCAFC since the program began in May 2011. Consequently, VA has expanded options available to Veterans and caregivers who seek review of or to appeal a PCAFC decision. On February 19, 2019, VA implemented the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017 (AMA), which significantly changed the VA benefits appeals process. Under AMA, claimants have the choice of three decision review options: Supplemental Claim; Higher-Level Review; and Board Appeal. The Supplemental Claim option allows a claimant to submit new and relevant evidence for review in support of their claim. The Higher-Level Review option allows a claimant, without submitting new evidence, to request a new review of the previous decision by an experienced adjudicator. The Board Appeal option allows a claimant to appeal directly to the Board where a Veterans Law Judge will review the decision. AMA appeal and review processes are available for PCAFC decisions issued on or after February 19, 2019. A separate appeals process (legacy) must be used to appeal to the Board regarding PCAFC decisions issued before February 19, 2019. As part of VA’s operational plan to implement the Beaudette decision, including to address appeals of decisions prior to February 19, 2019, VA developed the two forms in this Information Collection (IC). VA’s development of the two forms is explicitly required by a Court-approved joint notice plan in Beaudette, which was finalized by the parties and approved by the Court in August 2021. VA Form 10-306, Request for Information About Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) Decisions, is necessary to provide a means for claimants to request information about any PCAFC decision VA issued to them, regardless of when such decision was made. VA Form 10-307, Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) Notice of Disagreement (NOD), is specific to PCAFC decisions rendered prior to February 19, 2019. |

Abstract
Pursuant to the Administrative Dispute Resolution Acts of 1990 and 1996, 5 U.S.C. §§ 561 et seq. and 571 et seq., and 29 U.S.C. § 173(f), the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service provides conflict prevention, management, and resolution services, including, but not limited to, public policy facilitation and mediation services, to Federal agencies. As part of these services, sometimes FMCS employees need to survey or ask questions to determine the best process and participants to prevent, manage, or resolve the issue, particularly for public policy mediations, public policy or environmental facilitations, or negotiated rulemaking. To do so, FMCS has created a set of questions to ask various stakeholders about issues, concerns, engagement, and appropriate stakeholders relevant to the issues. |
