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.

Key Information
Abstract
NIST Associates (NA) will include guest researchers, research associates, contractors, and other non-NIST employees that require access to the NIST campuses or NIST resources. The NIST Associates Information System (NAIS) information collection instrument(s) are completed by incoming NAs. The NAs will be requested to provide personal identifying data including home address, date and place of birth, employer name and address, and basic security information. The data provided by the collection instruments will be input into NAIS, which automatically populates the appropriate forms, and is routed through the approval process. NIST's Office of Security receives security forms through the NAIS process and is able to allow preliminary access to NAs to the NIST campuses or resources. The data collected will also be the basis for further security investigations as necessary. |

Continuation of Supplemental Security Income Payments for the Temporarily Institutionalized – Certification of Period and Need to Maintain Home
Key Information
Abstract
SSA collects this information to determine if institutionalized SSI recipients will only be in the institution or medical facility for three months maximum, and if they still need SSI payments. To do this, the recipient, the recipient’s representative payee, or if the recipient does not have a representative payee, someone on their behalf typically calls SSA to provide the statement of need, and a signed physician’s certification is sent via mail. In addition, SSA employees upon finding out about a recipient entering an institution can contact the recipient or recipient’s representative payee to obtain the statement of need and a physician's certification. SSA accepts a certification or copy of a certification signed by the recipient’s physician, attesting to the period of confinement. SSA accepts a signed statement or a verbal confirmation from the recipient, or from the representative payee, acting on behalf of the recipient, about the need to maintain a home. In addition, SSA created an official form, the SSA-186, Temporary Institutionalization Statement to Maintain Household and Physician Certification, that collects the signature of the SSI recipient, provides the statement of need, and the physician’s signature providing the physician’s certification with the time period of confinement. The form asks the same questions that are on the SSI Claims System screens. The respondents are medical providers, and SSI recipients or their representative payees. |

Abstract
SSA uses the information gathered by each benefit application to determine eligibility for Social Security benefits and the amount of the benefits. This information collection is voluntary.

The public can apply for this benefit using one of two modalities: (1) a paper application (Form SSA-7-F6); or (2) a field office interview (in person or by telephone), during which SSA employees enter applicant data directly into the Modernized Claims System (MCS). The respondents are applicants filing for Parent’s Insurance Benefits. |

SSA Health IT Partner Assessment - Participating Facilities and Available Content Form, SSA-680
Key Information
Abstract
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act promotes the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology (IT), particularly in the context of working with government agencies. Similarly, section 3004 of the Public Health Service Act requires health care providers or health insurance issuers with government contracts to implement, acquire, or upgrade their health IT systems and products to meet adopted standards and implementation specifications. To support expansion of SSA's health IT initiative as defined under HITECH, SSA developed Form SSA-680, the Health IT Partner Program Assessment – Participating Facilities and Available Content Form. The SSA 680 allows healthcare providers to provide the information SSA needs to determine their ability to exchange health information with us electronically. We evaluate potential partners (i.e., healthcare providers and organizations) on (1) the accessibility of health information they possess, and (2) the content value of their electronic health records' systems for our disability adjudication processes. SSA reviews the completeness of organizations' SSA-680 responses as one part of our careful analysis of their readiness to enter into a health IT partnership with us. The respondents are healthcare entities, healthcare providers, and HIEs who wish to engage in a Health IT partnership with SSA. |

| 202109-2060-008 | National Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings (40 CFR part 59, subpart E) (Renewal) | EPA/OAR | 2021-09-30 | Historical Active | Revision of a currently approved collection
National Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings (40 CFR part 59, subpart E) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) to regulate volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the use of consumer and commercial products. Pursuant to CAA section 183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products and a schedule for their regulation (60 FR 15264). Aerosol coatings are included on the list, and the standards for such coatings are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart E. The reports required under the standards enable EPA to identify coating formulations manufactured, imported or distributed in the United States, and to determine the product-weighted reactivity. The ICR addresses the burden for activities conducted in 3-year increments after promulgation of the national VOC emission standards for aerosol coatings. Regulated entities read instructions to determine how they are affected by the rule. They are required to submit initial notifications when an aerosol coating is manufactured and notification of changes in the initial report, to report formulation data and exemptions claimed, and to maintain records. In addition, regulated entities are required to submit triennial reports that include formulation data and VOC usage. |

Authorization for the Social Security Administration to Obtain Personal Information
Key Information
Abstract
SSA uses Form SSA-8510 to contact a public or private custodian of records on behalf of an applicant or recipient of an SSA program to request evidence information, which may support a benefit application or payment continuation. We ask for evidence information such as the following: • Age requirements (e.g. birth certificate, court documents) • Insured status (e.g. earnings, employer verification) • Marriage or divorce information • Pension offsets • Wages verification • Annuities • Property information • Benefit verification from a State agency or third party • Immigration status (rare instances) • Income verification from public agencies or private individuals • Unemployment benefits • Insurance policies If the custodian requires a signed authorization from the individual(s) whose information SSA requests, SSA may provide the custodian with a copy of the SSA-8510. Once the respondent completes the SSA-8510, either using the paper form, or using the Personal Information Authorization Intranet version, SSA uses the form as the authorization to obtain personal information regarding the respondent from third parties until the authorizing person (respondent) revokes the permission of its usage. The collection is voluntary; however, failure to verify the individuals’ eligibility can prevent SSA from making an accurate and timely decision for their benefits. The respondents are individuals who may file for, or currently receive, Social Security benefits, SSI payments, or Medicare Part D subsidies. |
