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.

Electronic Fund Transfer Act (Regulation E)
Key Information
Abstract
The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA), 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq., requires accurate disclosure of the costs, terms, and rights relating to electronic fund transfer (EFT) services and remittance transfer services to consumers. Entities offering EFT services must provide consumers with full and accurate information regarding consumers' rights and responsibilities in connection with EFT services. These disclosures are intended to protect the rights of consumers using EFT services, such as automated teller machine (ATM) transfers, telephone bill-payment services, point-of-sale transfers at retail establishments, electronic check conversion, payroll cards, and preauthorized transfers from or to a consumer's account. EFTA also establishes error resolution procedures and limits consumer liability for unauthorized transfers in connection with EFT services. EFTA and Regulation E impose disclosure and other requirements on issuers and sellers of gift cards, gift certificates, and general-use prepaid cards. Further, EFTA and Regulation E provide protections for consumers in the United States who send remittance transfers to persons in a foreign country. On November 22, 2016, the Bureau published a final rule that amends Regulations E, Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act, and the official interpretations to the regulations, to provide comprehensive protections for consumers who use “prepaid accounts.” In addition, it modifies general Regulation E requirements to create tailored provisions governing disclosures, limited liability and error resolution, and periodic statements, and adds new requirements regarding the posting of account agreements. Additionally, the final rule amends Regulations E and Z to regulate overdraft credit features offered in connection with prepaid accounts. Federal agencies and private litigants use the records to ascertain whether accurate and complete disclosures of EFT services and other services covered under Regulation E have been provided and other required actions (for example, error resolution and limitation of consumer liability for unauthorized transfers) have been taken. This information will provide the primary evidence of law violations in EFTA enforcement actions brought by the CFPB and other Federal agencies. Without recordkeeping requirements of Regulation E, the Federal agencies' ability to enforce the EFTA would be significantly impaired. Consumers rely on the disclosures required by EFTA and Regulation E to facilitate informed EFT, gift card, and remittance transfer decision making. Without this information, consumers would be severely hindered in their ability to assess the true costs and terms of the transactions offered. Also, without the special error resolution and limitation of consumer liability provisions, consumers would be unable to detect and correct unauthorized transfers and errors in their EFT and remittance transfer transactions. These disclosures and provisions are also necessary for the agencies to enforce EFTA and Regulation E. |

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. |

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. |

Pub.L. 111 - 148 2711 (View Law) Pub.L. 111 - 148 2712 86 FR 36872 (View Law) Pub.L. 111 - 148 2719A (View Law) Abstract
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. |

This generic clearance will go through the regular clearance process at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) with a 60-day notice and a 30-day notice as part of the 120-day review period. This generic clearance package describes the general scope of the surveys, their quick turnaround time, their length, size of sample, sample design, and some typical topics. Each individual survey will go into the clearance process with an abbreviated clearance package that will justify the particular content of the survey, describe the sample design, the timeline for the survey activities, and the questionnaire. The review period for each individual survey is approximately 45 days, including a 30-day Federal Register notice period. OMB will provide comments as soon after the end of the 30-day notice period as possible. This approval is for a three year period. |
