Change Requests

What is an ICR?

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.

When are they submitted?

Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, 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.

Where to find an ICR?

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.

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for the revision and extension of OMB Control Number: 0648-0335, sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Office of International Affairs, Trade, and Commerce (IATC). Currently, OMB Control Number 0648-0335 includes one information collection: the Fisheries Certificate of Origin (FCO; also known as the NOAA Form 370). The revision will transfer five (5) information collections included under OMB Control Number 0648-0387, sponsored by NMFS, West Coast Region (WCR), to 0648-0335. The purpose of this transfer is to more accurately reflect how the information is being managed. The five information collections being transferred will be removed from 0648-0387 during its next renewal process and included under 0648-0335 going forward. There are no substantive changes to either the Fisheries Certificate of Origin, or the five information collections being transferred from 0648-0387.

Implementation of Medicare Programs; - Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program (CMS-10552)

Key Information

Abstract

Abstract (2000 characters maximum) The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5) was enacted on February 17, 2009, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure and improve affordable health care. Expanded use of health information technology (HIT) and certified electronic health record (EHR) technology will improve the quality and value of America's health care. Title IV of Division B of the Recovery Act amends Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act (the Act) by establishing incentive payments to eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs), and Medicare Advantage organizations participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs that adopt and successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology (CEHRT). These Recovery Act provisions, together with Title XIII of Division A of the Recovery Act, may be cited as the “Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act” or the “HITECH Act”. In 2019, the EHR Incentives Program for eligible hospitals and CAHs was subsequently renamed the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program. We are collecting information from participants in this program on objectives and measures focused on the meaningful use of CEHRT in order to incentivize the advanced use of CEHRT to support health information exchange, interoperability, advanced quality measurement, and maximizing clinical effectiveness and efficiency. In the FY 2026 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we proposed to adopt a new optional bonus measure under the Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange objective for health information exchange with a public health agency (PHA) that occurs using TEFCA, and where the eligible hospital or CAH meets certain additional requirements, beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026. We also proposed to modify two measures: (1) the SAFER Guides measure, which we proposed to modify by requiring eligible hospitals and CAHs to attest “yes” to completing an annual self-assessment using the SAFER Guides published in January 2025 beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026; and (2) the Security Risk Analysis measure, which we proposed to modify to require eligible hospitals and CAHs to attest “yes” to having conducted security risk management as required under the HIPAA Security Rule beginning with the EHR reporting period in CY 2026. We also proposed to define the EHR reporting period in CY 2026 and subsequent years as a minimum of any continuous 180-day period within that CY for eligible hospitals and CAHs participating in the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Art in Architecture Program Center for Fine Arts; GSA 7437

Key Information

Abstract

This is a revision to an existing collection. In accordance with Executive Orders 14148 and 14168, the form GSA 7437, Art in Architecture Program National Artist Registry, will be updated to eliminate the optional demographic information, which is no longer being collected. The Art in Architecture (AiA) program is the result of a policy decision made in January 1963 by the U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Administrator Bernard L. Boudin, who served on the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal Office Space in 1961-62. The Committee’s report to President Kennedy included the “Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture,” which detailed a new quality conscious Federal attitude toward architecture. One point, which was omitted from the report because Administrator Boudin implemented it prior to the policy’s publication, was: A modest portion of the cost of each new Federal office building, not to exceed one percent of the total expense, shall be allocated for the purchase of fine arts to be incorporated in the general design. Emphasis should be placed on the work of living American artists, representing all trends of contemporary art, but this practice should not preclude the purchase of works of earlier periods where this would be appropriate. In commissioning the work of living artists, competitions should be encouraged. Administrator Boudin approved a policy of commissioning works of art for public buildings under GSA’s jurisdiction, custody, and control in an amount not to exceed one half of one percent of the construction cost. The requirement to commission artworks for federal buildings can be found in part 102-77 of the Federal Management Regulation (41 C.F.R. part 102-77). The program has been modified over the years, most recently in 2022, to align with Executive Order (E.O.)14029 issued on May 14, 2021 “Revocation of Certain Presidential Actions and Technical Amendment,” and to support E.O. 13985 issued January 2021, titled “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. E.O. 14029 revoked E.O. 13934 issued July 3, 2020, Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes. E.O. 14189 of January 29, 2025 “Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday, revoked E.O.14129 and reinstates E.O. 13934. As mandated by E.O. 13934, the AiA program must prioritize the commissioning of artworks that portray historically significant Americans or events of American historical significance, or that illustrate the ideals upon which the Nation was founded. Priority is to be given to public-facing monuments to former Presidents of the United States, and to individuals and events relating to the discovery of America, the founding of the United States, and the abolition of slavery. Such works of art are to be designed to be appreciated by the public and by those who use and interact with Federal buildings. When an artwork commissioned by GSA is meant to depict a historically significant American, the artwork is required to be a lifelike or realistic representation of that person, not an abstract or modernist representation. With the implementation of the 2025 policy, the AiA program seeks to commission works from American artists that “portray historically significant Americans or events of American historical significance or illustrate the ideals upon which our nation was founded.” Since 1972, GSA has awarded over 500 commissions to artists with established careers and artists of local and regional prominence. In support of the AiA program’s goal to commission the most talented contemporary American artists to create works for the nation’s important new civic buildings, it is necessary to identify those artists. The GSA National Artist Registry (Registry) offers the opportunity for artists across the country to participate and to be considered for commissions.

National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses

Key Information

Abstract

The NSSRN is collected to help fulfill the congressional mandates of the Public Health Service Act, Title 42, U.S.C. Section 294n(b)(2)(A) and Section 295k(a)-(b). These mandates ensure the development of information describing and analyzing the health care workforce and workforce-related issues. Through means of collecting, compiling, and analyzing data on healthcare professionals, this survey provides required information for decision-making regarding future directions in health professions and nursing programs in response to societal and professional needs. Such data have become particularly important to better understand workforce issues given the recent dynamic changes in the RN population and the transformation of the healthcare system. Previous improvements to the NSSRN were made based on changes in healthcare policy, best practices in survey methodology, and a section on nurse practitioners (NPs) was added. Previously, NP data were collected in a separate survey called the National Sample Survey of Nurse Practitioners (NSSNP). The updated survey, which incorporates questions from both previous surveys, retains the name “The National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses.” The intent behind combining these two surveys was to reduce redundancy in the collection of data, which results in lower costs and burden on respondents that accompanied the administration of two separate surveys. The 2022 NSSRN had some changes to content from 2018, but it did not undergo a major redesign.

Key Information

Abstract

CDC in collaboration with state and local health departments in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. dependent areas, conducts national surveillance for cases of HIV infection that provides critical data across the spectrum of HIV disease from HIV diagnosis, to AIDS, the end-stage disease caused by infection with HIV, and death. HIV surveillance data are used to monitor the extent and characteristics of the HIV burden in the United States. In addition, this national system provides essential data to estimate HIV incidence and monitor patterns in HIV drug resistance and genetic diversity, detect HIV clusters, and perinatal exposures. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted to revise questions in the National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS) OMB No. 0920-0573 to align with EO 14168. Changes are only made to the Gender/Sex questions in this data collection. Modifications of other demographic questions will be done in a future Revision. There are no anticipated changes to the approved burden associated with this data collection in this Change Request.

Rule 17a-10, Exemption for transactions with certain subadvisory affiliates

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 17a-10 (17 CFR 270.17a-10) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 permits (i) a subadviser of a registered investment company (a “fund”) to enter into transactions with funds the subadviser does not advise but that are affiliated persons of a fund that it does advise (e.g., other funds in the fund complex), and (ii) a subadviser (and its affiliated persons) to enter into transactions and arrangements with funds the subadviser does advise, but only with respect to discrete portions of the subadvised fund for which the subadviser does not provide investment advice. The exemptions under Rule 17a-10 are intended to allow a subadviser to enter into such a transaction provided the subadviser does not influence the fund’s investment decision to engage in the transaction. In order to rely on the exemptions in rule 17a-10, funds must include in their subadvisory contracts the provisions required under rule 17a-10(a)(2) to ensure that the subadviser that engages in the transaction does not influence the fund’s investment decisions to engage in the transaction. Section 31(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules 31a-1 and 31a-2 thereunder, require investment companies to maintain and preserve records related to investment advisory agreements, including those agreements with subadvisors.

Drawback on Wines Exported

Key Information

Abstract

In general, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5041 imposes Federal excise tax on wine produced or imported into the United States, while section 5362(c) allows domestic wine to be exported, transferred to a foreign trade zone, or used on certain vessels and aircraft without payment of that tax. In the case of taxpaid domestic wine that is subsequently exported, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5062(b) provides that exporters of such wine may claim drawback (refund) of the excise tax paid or determined on the exported wine. Under the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR Part 28, Exportation of Alcohol, exporters of taxpaid domestic wine use form TTB F 5120.24 to document the wine’s exportation and to submit drawback claims for the excise taxes paid on the exported wine. TTB uses the provided information to determine if the exported wine is eligible for drawback and to verify the amount of drawback claimed by the exporter. As such, the collected information collection is necessary to protect the revenue.

Missing and Discrepant Wage Reports Letter and Questionnaire

Key Information

Abstract

Each year employers report the wage amounts they paid their employees to IRS for tax purposes, and separately to SSA for retirement and disability coverage purposes. In theory these reported amounts should equal each other; however, each year some of the employer wage reports that SSA receives are less than the wage amounts reported to IRS. SSA attempts to ensure that employees receive full credit for the wages they have earned through the use of the SSA-L 93 (cover letter); SSA-L 94 (cover letter); SSA-95 and SSA-97 (questionnaires). Respondents are employers who reported fewer wage amounts to SSA than they reported to IRS. We are submitting a non-substantive Change Request to revise the informative Note section on the SSA-95-SM and SSA-95-SM2 to comply with the Taxpayer First Act and revisions to the Department of Treasury's Regulation Section 30.6011-2 (regarding the use of electronic and paper modalities for filing Form W-2c).

Claim--Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Taxes

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5008, 5044, 5056, 5064, 5370, 5705, and 5708 authorizes claims for relief of excise taxes on distilled spirits, wine, beer, tobacco products, and cigarette papers and tubes that were condemned, destroyed, lost or made unmarketable due to disaster, theft or vandalism, or that were voluntarily destroyed, returned to bond or withdrawn from the market. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5055, 5062, and 5706 also provides for drawback (refund) of taxes paid on such products subsequently exported outside of the United States. Additionally, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5111–5114, authorizes drawback of a portion of taxes paid on distilled spirits used in the manufacture of certain nonbeverage products, while 26 U.S.C. 5373(b)(3) allows credit for excise taxes on wine spirits removed from a distilled spirits plant and used in the production of wine. Additionally, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 6402–6404, taxpayers may file relief claims for erroneous, excessive, or overpaid excise or special occupational taxes, while 26 U.S.C. 6416 allows for credit or refund of overpaid firearms and ammunition taxes and 26 U.S.C. 6423 sets conditions on claims for erroneously collected alcohol and tobacco excise taxes. Under those various IRC sections, claimants generally must submit their claims within 6 months of the relevant action in the form and manner that the Secretary prescribes by regulation. Under those statutory IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has issued regulations that require taxpayers to file claims for abatement, allowance, credit, refund, or remission of the excise or special occupational taxes paid or determined using form TTB F 5620.8. Using that form and any required supporting documentation, claimants identify themselves, the regulatory section the claim is made under, the type of claim and its basis, the kind and amount of tax claimed, and, if relevant, account information for the deposit of refunded tax. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to determine if the claim legally qualifies for relief.

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5706 provides for the drawback (refund) of Federal excise tax paid on tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes when such articles are subsequently exported from the United States in accordance with the bond and regulatory requirements prescribed by the Secretary. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has issued regulations in 27 CFR part 44 governing such drawback claims. Those regulations allow drawback (refund) of the tax paid on tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes subsequently shipped to a foreign country, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, or a possession of the United States, but only when the person who paid the tax files a claim and otherwise complies with the relevant regulations. Specific to this information collection request, the part 44 regulations require that such drawback claims be filed on form TTB F 5620.7, and that all such claims must be accompanied by a bond filed on form TTB F 5200.17. Under those regulations, claimants also must file evidence with TTB that the articles in question landed at a foreign port or were lost after export. In addition, claimants may file letterhead applications for relief from certain regulatory requirements regarding evidence of export or loss.

Drawback on Distilled Spirits Exported

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5062, persons who export tax-paid or tax-determined distilled spirits may claim drawback (refund) of the Federal alcohol excise tax paid on those spirits, as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 28, distilled spirits exporters use TTB F 5110.30 to submit such claims to TTB. The form collects information regarding the claimant, the identity and amount of the distilled spirits exported, and the amount of drawback claimed. This collection is necessary to protect the revenue as TTB uses the information on TTB F 5110.30 and its attached documents to verify distilled spirits export drawback claims, prevent fraudulent or mistaken drawback payments, and identify unusual activities, errors, or omissions regarding such claims.

Drawback on Beer Exported

Key Information

Abstract

Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5051, all beer produced in or imported into the United States is subject to Federal excise tax, but, under 26 U.S.C. 5053(a), beer exported from the United States is not subject to that tax. As such, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5055, brewers may receive drawback (refund) of the excise tax paid on domestically produced beer when it is subsequently exported or delivered for use as supplies on certain vessels or aircraft if the brewer provides proof of such action as the Secretary requires by regulation. Under the authority of 26 U.S.C. 5055, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow the brewer or their agent to file a claim for drawback (refund) of the excise taxes paid on beer when the beer is exported to a foreign country, delivered to the U.S. Armed Forces for export, delivered for use as supplies on certain vessels or aircraft, or transferred to a foreign trade zone for export. The regulations require such export drawback claims to be made on form TTB F 5130.6. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to verify the accuracy of export drawback claims for beer, which prevents payment of incorrect and fraudulent export drawback claims.

Pattern of Violations

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), as amended, places the ultimate responsibility on mine operators for ensuring the safety and health of miners. The legislative history of the Mine Act emphasizes that Congress included the pattern of violations (POV) provision for mine operators who demonstrated a disregard for the safety and health of miners through a recurring pattern of significant and substantial (S&S) violations. MSHA was to use the POV provision in situations where other enforcement actions had been ineffective at bringing the mines into compliance with safety and health standards. This final rule will simplify the POV criteria, improve consistency in applying the POV criteria, and more adequately achieve the statutory intent. It also will encourage chronic violators to take proactive measures to comply with the Mine Act and MSHA's safety and health standards to bring their mines into compliance. This final rule contains a provision subject to review and approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). MSHA is submitting this information collection package to OMB for review under 44 U.S.C. § 3504, paragraph (h) of the PRA, as amended (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). The existing rule included mitigating circumstances under the initial screening criteria, but does not define mitigating circumstances. MSHA explains its intent in policy. The final rule incorporates the initial screening criteria into the pattern criteria for placing a mine in a POV status. The preamble to the final rule states that MSHA will consider an operator's effective implementation of an MSHA-approved corrective action program as a mitigating circumstance. MSHA expects that most mine operators, who compare their compliance record with the POV criteria on MSHA's Web site and determine that they are approaching a POV level, will submit a written corrective action program to the District Manager for approval and work to bring their mines into compliance to avoid being issued a POV notice, which could result in the temporary closure of the mine or sections of the mine. MSHA believes that an operator who implements a corrective action program is demonstrating a commitment to complying with MSHA's standards and regulations, and to restoring safe and healthful conditions for miners.

Blueprint for Approval of Affordable State-based and State Partnership Insurance Exchanges (CMS-10416)

Key Information

Abstract

CMS is working with States (including the District of Columbia and the territories) to establish Exchanges in every State. The law gives States the opportunity to establish State-based Exchanges, subject to approval that the State-based Exchange meets federal standards and will be ready to offer health care coverage on January 1, 2014. The deadline for Exchange approval is January 1, 2013. In a State that does not achieve Exchange approval by the deadline, the law directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to facilitate the establishment of an Exchange in that State. States will apply for approval or conditional approval of their State Exchange in the Fall of 2012 with decisions made on January 1, 2013.
