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, or 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.
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.

Child Relationship Statement
Key Information
Abstract
To help determine a child’s entitlement to Social Security benefits, SSA uses criteria under section 216(h)(3) of the Social Security Act, deemed child provision. SSA may deem a child to an insured individual if: (1) the insured individual presents SSA with satisfactory evidence of parenthood, and was living with or contributing to the child’s support at certain specified times; or (2) the insured individual (a) acknowledged the child in writing; (b) was court decreed as the child’s parent; or (c) was court ordered to support the child. To obtain this information, SSA uses Form SSA-2519, Child Relationship Statement. Respondents are people with knowledge of the relationship between certain individuals filing for Social Security benefits and their alleged biological children. |

Patents External Quality Survey
Key Information
Abstract
This United States Patent and Trademark Office Quality Survey is an instrument designed to measure opinions about the services that USPTO provides its patent application customers. The results from this voluntary survey will assist us in guiding improvements and enhancements in the future. The USPTO conducts the Patents External Quality Survey as part of its quality improvement efforts under E.O. 14058, Transforming Federal Customer Experience and Service Delivery to Rebuild Trust in Government (Dec. 13, 2021). This survey narrows the focus of customer satisfaction to examination quality and uses a longitudinal, rotating panel design to assess changes in customer perceptions and to identify key areas for examiner training and opportunities for improvement. The USPTO surveys patent agents, attorneys, and other individuals from large domestic corporations (including those with 500+ employees), small and medium-size businesses, and universities and other non-profit research organizations. This survey does not include foreign entities. The USPTO random sample used in this survey is drawn from the Patent Application and Location Management (PALM) database. The sample population is drawn from the top filing firms and entities that have filed more than 5 patent applications in a 12-month period. This ongoing survey is generally conducted twice a year. USPTO uses a rotating panel design where participants will take the survey twice in back-to-back survey periods. Half the participants in each survey period are new, completing the survey for the first time, and half are returning to complete the survey for a second time. This design allows a precise measurement of changes in customer experience over time. The Patents External Quality Survey is primarily a web-based survey, although respondents can also complete the survey via paper and mail if they prefer. The content of both versions is identical. Potential respondents are sent either an email or mailed pre-survey letter, depending on noted preferences for contact. At the beginning of each survey period, respondents are provided instructions for accessing and completing the survey electronically. After a specified response period, a survey packet containing the questionnaire, a separate cover letter prepared by the Deputy Commissioner for Patents, and a postage-paid, pre-addressed return envelope are mailed to all sample members that have not yet submitted a response. Sampled members receiving a paper survey can still complete the survey electronically if they prefer. Reminder/thank you postcards and telephone calls are used to encourage response from sample members. |

Appointment of Representative
Key Information
Abstract
Recipients use Form SSA-1696 to appoint a representative to handle their claim before SSA. Recipients’ representatives use the Form SSA-1696 to indicate whether they will charge a fee, and, if so, specify their eligibility for direct fee payment. The representatives also use Form SSA 1696 to indicate their disbarment or suspension from a court or bar in which they previously admitted to practice, or their disqualification from participating in or appearing before a Federal program or agency. SSA recognizes the recipient’s representative as the individual named in a notice of appointment (or written statement), which the recipient signed and filed at an SSA office. The SSA 1696 (or written statement) documents the appointment of a representative. We also use this form to collect the business affiliation and EIN of the representatives. Our regulations also require that if the representative is a non attorney, they must sign the form or equivalent written statement. In addition, respondents use the SSA 1696-SUP1 to revoke their appointment of a representative, and representatives use the SSA 1696-SUP2 to withdraw their acceptance of the appointment. SSA uses this information to document the revocation and withdrawal of a representative. Respondents are applicants for, or recipients of, Social Security disability benefits (SSDI); SSI payments; or anyone pursuing a benefit or invoking a right under SSA programs, who are notifying SSA they have appointed a person to represent them in their dealings with SSA, and their non attorney representatives who need to sign the form. |
