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.

Abstract

The Commission adopted final rules governing the exchange of customer account information between local exchange carriers and interexchange carriers. The Commission concluded that mandatory minimum standards are needed in light of record evidence demonstrating that information needed by carriers to execute customer requests and properly bill customers is not being consistently provided by all local exchange carriers and by all interexchange carriers. In December 2007, the Commission declined to adopt mandatory LEC-to-LEC data exchange requirements.

Pub.L. 111 - 203 Title XII (View Law)

Abstract

The Small Dollar Loan Program was authorized by Title XII – Improving Access to Mainstream Financial Institutions Act of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-203), which amended The Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 1994 to include the Small Dollar Loan Program (12 U.S.C. § 4719). Through the Small Dollar Loan Program, the CDFI Fund provides grants for loan loss reserves and technical assistance to enable award recipients to establish and maintain small dollar loan programs to address the issues of expanding consumer access to mainstream financial institutions and providing alternatives to high-cost small dollar loans. The Small Dollar Loan Program is also intended to enable award recipients to help unbanked and underbanked populations build credit, access affordable capital, and allow greater access into the mainstream financial system. In December 2019, the President signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-93), which appropriated $5 million of the CDFI Fund’s total $262 million appropriations. An additional $8.5 million was appropriated for the Small Dollar Loan Program with enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260), which was signed into law December 2020 and provided the CDFI Fund with total appropriations of $270 million. Funds from these two appropriations measures were used to launch and administer the inaugural round of the Small Dollar Loan Program by September 30, 2021.

Abstract

In this final rule, FRA is revising its regulations governing railroad workplace safety to: allow for the use of alternative cybersecurity standards for electronic display systems used to view track authority information for roadway worker safety, and exempt certain remotely operated roadway maintenance machines from existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) requirements for enclosed cabs. FRA uses the information that it collects under 49 CFR part 214 to monitor and enforce requirements relating to the safety of roadway workers and ensure that railroads fulfill their responsibilities to keep roadway workers secure and free from unnecessary and avoidable hazards. This collection of information is mandatory, collected as needed, and it involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Additionally, Form FRA F 6180.119 is used by FRA/State inspectors to cite rule violations of Part 214 and to recommend civil penalties for serious infractions.

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.

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Generic Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards for Acetal Resin; Acrylic and Modacrylic Fiber; Hydrogen Fluoride and Polycarbonate Production were proposed on October 14, 2998; and promulgated on June 29, 1999; and amended on: November 22, 1999; November 2, 2001; June 7, 2002; July 12, 2002; and October 8, 2014. These regulations apply to new and existing facilities of the following four categories: Polycarbonates (PC) Production, Acrylic and Modacrylic Fibers (AMF) Production, Acetal Resins (AR) Production, and Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) Production. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY.

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.

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.

Abstract

The data collection activities described in this Information Collection Request (ICR) will provide a robust dataset that characterizes wastewater generation, treatment, and discharge from MPP facilities. A short questionnaire will be administered as a census of the industry to confirm general information on the type and size (both production and employees) of the facility and gather information on wastewater generation and treatment. To reduce burden on the industry, a statistically representative subset of MPP facilities will complete a detailed survey collecting additional details on processing operations, types and amount of wastewater generated by operation, wastewater treatment details, and economic data. A small number of MPP facilities will also be asked to collect and analyze wastewater samples to characterize raw waste streams, wastewater treatment systems, and treated effluent for pollutants of interest.
