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.

Service Difficulty Report
Key Information
Abstract
FAA Form 8070-1, Service Difficulty Report (SDR), may be used by the air carrier industry and repair stations to submit mandated reporting of occurrences or detection of failures, malfunctions, or defects. As described in 14 CFR 121.703(e), these submitters may use another method that is suitable to their management system, provided that system is acceptable to the Administrator and contains mandated information. Service difficulty information may also be submitted in an electronic format. Repair stations certificated under Part 145 and Air taxi operators certificated under Part 135 are required to submit Malfunction or Defect Reports, or Service Difficulty Reports. FAA Form 8010-4, Malfunction and Defect Report may be used by the general aviation public to submit voluntary reporting of occurrences or detection of failure, malfunctions, or defects. General Aviation is the largest user of the Form 8010-4. Report information is collected, collated by the FAA, and used to determine service performance of aeronautical products. When defects are reported which are likely to exist on other products of the same or similar design, the FAA may disseminate safety information to a particular section of the aviation community. The FAA also may adopt new regulations or issue Airworthiness Directives (AD’s) to address a specific problem. AD’s are mandatory repair or modifications essential for the prevention of accidents The regulations enhance air carrier safety by collecting additional and timelier data pertinent to critical aircraft components. This data identifies mechanical failures, malfunctions, and defects that may be a hazard to the operation of an aircraft. The FAA uses this data to identify trends that may facilitate the early detection of airworthiness problems. Reports are submitted on occasion. |

Application for Benefits Under a U.S. International Social Security Agreement
Key Information
Abstract
When SSA enters into international Social Security agreements between the United States and foreign countries, applicants can file for benefits from one country, and that application can constitute an application for benefits from the other country, provided the applicants express the intent to claim benefits from the other country at the time of the initial application. SSA refers to these agreements as Totalization agreements. Under these agreements, we may base benefits on combined periods of coverage from the two agreement countries. SSA uses the information from the SSA-2490-BK to determine entitlement to Social Security benefits from the United States or from a country that has entered into a Social Security agreement with the United States. The respondents are individuals who are applying for old-age, survivors or disability benefits from the U.S. or from a Totalization agreement country. |

SSI Notice of Interim Assistance Reimbursement (IAR)
Key Information
Abstract
Section 1631(g) of the Social Security Act authorizes SSA to reimburse an IAR agency from an individual’s retroactive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment for assistance the IAR agency gave the individual for meeting basic needs while an SSI claim was pending or SSI payments were suspended or terminated. The State or local agency needs an IAR agreement with SSA to participate in the IAR program. The individual receiving the IAR payment signs an authorization form with an IAR agency to allow SSA to repay the IAR agency for funds paid in advance prior to SSA’s determination on the individual’s claim. The authorization represents the individual’s intent to file for SSI, if they did not file an application prior to SSA receiving the authorization. Agencies who wish to enter into an IAR agreement with SSA needs to meet the following requirements: • Reporting Requirements - Each IAR agency agrees to: (a) notify SSA of receipt of an authorization for initial claims or cases they are appealing, and (b) submit a copy of that authorization either through a manual or electronic process; (c) inform SSA of the amount of reimbursement; (d) submit a written request for dispute resolution on a determination; (e) notify SSA of interim assistance paid (using the SSA–8125 or the SSA– L8125–F6); (f) inform SSA of any deceased claimants who participate in the IAR program and ; (g) review and sign an agreement with SSA. • Recordkeeping Requirements (h & i) – the IAR agencies agree to retain all notices, agreement, authorizations, and accounting forms for the period defined in the IAR agreement for the purposes of SSA verifying transactions covered under the agreement. • Third Party Disclosure Requirements (j): Each participating IAR agency agrees to send written notices from the IAR agency to the recipient regarding payment amounts and appeal rights. • Periodic Review of Agency Accounting Process (k-m) – the IAR agency makes the IAR accounting records of paid cases available for SSA review and verification. SSA conducts reviews either onsite or through the mail of the authorization forms, notices to the claimant and accounting forms. Upon completion of the review, SSA provides a written report of findings to the IAR agency director. The respondents are State IAR officers. |

Medicare Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount - Life-Changing Event
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
Per the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, selected Medicare insurance recipients pay an income-related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA). The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) transmits income tax return data to SSA for SSA to determine the amount of IRMAA. SSA uses Form SSA-44 to determine if a recipient qualifies for a reduction in IRMMA. If affected Medicare recipients believe SSA should use more recent tax data because a life-changing event occurred that significantly reduces their income, they can report these changes to SSA and ask for a new initial determination of their IRMAA. |
