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.

Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Quality Reporting Program (CMS-10432)

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to section 1886(s)(4)(C) of the Social Security Act as added and amended by sections 3401 and 10322 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and further amended by section 4125(c) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, starting in FY 2014 (that is, October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014) and for subsequent fiscal years, IPFs paid under the IPF PPS shall submit pre-defined quality measures to the CMS. Such data shall be submitted in a form and manner, and at a time specified by the Secretary. Section 1886(s)(4)(A) of the Act provides that IPFs that fail to submit data on the selected quality measures and comply with other administrative requirements will have their IPF prospective payment system (PPS) payment updates reduced by 2.0 percentage points. This is a revision of the currently approved information collection request. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS’) quality reporting programs promote higher quality, more efficient healthcare for Medicare beneficiaries by collecting and reporting on quality-of-care metrics. This information is made available to consumers, both to empower Medicare beneficiaries and inform decision-making, as well as to incentivize healthcare facilities to make continued improvements. Specifically, CMS has implemented quality measure reporting programs for multiple settings, including for the Inpatient Psychiatric Facility (IPF) setting, to achieve its overarching priorities and initiatives, including the National Quality Strategy and the Meaningful Measure 2.0 Framework. In particular, Meaningful Measures 2.0 promotes innovation and modernization of all aspects of quality to better address health care priorities and gaps, emphasize digital quality measurement, and promote patient perspectives by supporting five interrelated goals: (1) empower consumers to make good health care choices through patient-directed quality measures and public transparency, (2) leverage quality measures to promote health equity and close gaps in care, (3) streamline quality measurement, (4) leverage measures to drive outcome improvement through public reporting and payment programs, and (5) improve quality measure efficiency by transitioning to digital measures and using advanced data analytics. The information collection requirements for the FY 2014 through FY 2028 program years (that is, data submitted from CY 2013 through CY 2027) are currently approved under OMB control number 0938-1171 (expiration date January 31, 2027). This request covers updates to the data collection requirements beginning with the FY 2026 payment determination (that is data submitted in CY 2025) and subsequent years.

Complaints Regarding Invention Promoters

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to the Inventors’ Rights Act of 1999, 35 U.S.C. 297, and implementing regulations at 37 CFR, Part 4, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is required to provide a form for the publication of complaints concerning invention promoters. Upon receipt of a complaint, the USPTO will forward it to the invention promoter for a response. The USPTO does not investigate these complaints or participate in any legal proceedings against invention promoters or invention promotion companies. Under the Inventors’ Rights Act, the USPTO is responsible only for publishing complaints and responses on the USPTO website, making them available to the public. A complaint submitted to the USPTO must be clearly marked, or otherwise identified, as a complaint. The complaint must include: (1) the name and address of the complainant; (2) the name and address of the invention promoter; (3) the name of the customer; (4) the invention promotion services offered or performed by the invention promoter; (5) the name of the mass media in which the invention promoter advertised such services; (6) an example of the relationship between the customer and the invention promoter; and (7) a signature of the complainant. Identifying information is necessary so that the USPTO can both forward the complaint to the invention promoters or invention promotion companies as well as notify the complainant that the complaint has been forwarded. Complainants should understand that the complaints will be forwarded to the invention promoter for response and that the complaint and response will be made available to the public as required by the Inventors’ Rights Act. If the USPTO does not receive a response from the invention promoter within 30 days, the complaint will be published without a response. Under this program, the USPTO does not accept complaints that request confidentiality. The USPTO may refer submitted complaints to the USPTO Office of Enrollment and Discipline, as appropriate. This information collection contains one form, PTO/2048A (Complaint Regarding Invention Promotion), which is used by the public to submit a complaint under this program. This form is available for download from the USPTO website. Use of this form is voluntary. Complainants may submit a complaint without the form as long as the complaint includes the necessary information and the submission is clearly marked as a complaint filed under the Inventors’ Rights Act. Invention promotion firms may use any format when responding to a submitted complaint; there is no associated USPTO form. Complaints and responses are posted at https://www.uspto.gov/patents/basics/using-legal-services/scam-prevention/published-complaints/published. Although the USPTO typically receives only a few complaints each year, that number is expected to rise given the recent announcement of new efforts to mitigate threats and protect the integrity of the U.S. patent system: https://www.uspto.gov/patents/fraud.

High Frequency Surveys Program Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (September, October, December)

Key Information

Abstract

The High-Frequency Surveys Program was established as a natural progression from the creation of the Household Pulse Survey. The Census Bureau developed the Household Pulse Survey to produce near real-time data in a time of urgent and acute need to inform federal and state action in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Changes in the measures over time provided insight into individuals’ experiences on social and economic dimensions during the period of the pandemic. It has evolved to include content on other emergent social and economic issues facing households and is designed to supplement the federal statistical system’s traditional benchmark data products with a new data source that provides relevant and timely information based on a high-quality sample frame, data integration, and cooperative expertise. In January 2025, the HPS and CHP will be relaunched as the Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (HTOPS). The HTOPS will continue the strong tradition of the HPS by rapidly providing insight into national events that have social and economic impacts on U.S. households. It will complement more traditional federal surveys by producing data much closer to real time as the events develop and with the new longitudinal design, have the ability to track changes over time. Along with HPS content, the survey will enable the Census Bureau to address research and content development needs for its census and survey programs. The HTOPS will be one more tool among the Census Bureau's data collection efforts to provide the nation with quality, up-to-date information that informs our future.

Abstract

The Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), 2021, was signed into law in December 2020. In this legislation, Congress established a new Medicare provider type: Rural Emergency Hospitals (REHs). Section 125 of Division CC of the CAA, 2021 added section 1861(kkk) to the Social Security Act (the Act). This section defines an REH as a facility that, in relevant part, was as of December 27, 2020: (1) a Critical Access Hospital (CAH) or a subsection (d) hospital with not more than 50 beds located in a county (or equivalent unit of local government) in a rural area (defined in section 1886(d)(2)(D) of the Act); or (2) was a subsection (d) hospital with not more than 50 beds that was treated as being in a rural area pursuant to section 1886(d)(8)(E) of the Act. Under section 1861(kkk)(7) of the Act, as added by section 125 of Division CC of the CAA, 2021, the Secretary is required to establish quality measurement reporting requirements for REHs, which may include the use of a small number of claims-based measures or patient experience surveys. An REH must submit quality measure data to the Secretary, and the Secretary shall establish procedures to make the data available to the public on a CMS website.

Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies

Key Information

Abstract

The information collected serves to identify and develop safety countermeasures that will reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. These Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies -- Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS), Special Crash Investigations (SCI), and Special Studies (SS) -- involve voluntary information collections through which NHTSA collects detailed data on real world motor vehicle crashes. Specifically, these systems collect data on vehicle safety system performance, occupant injury information including their kinematic interaction with interior components and scene geometry, marking and traffic controls. Respondents are police agencies that collect information on police-reported motor vehicle crashes, employees of tow yards where crashed vehicles are stored, people involved in these crashes, and hospitals with medical records for the people injured in the crash. For the standard investigation-based crash data studies acquisition process, once a crash has been selected for investigation, crash technicians or investigators locate, visit, measure, and photograph the crash scene; locate, inspect, and photograph vehicles; conduct a telephone or personal interview with the involved individuals or surrogate (another person who can provide occupant or crash information, such as parents for minor, or a parent or spouse for decreased individual); and obtain and record crash injury information received from various medical data sources. These information collections support NHTSA’s mission to save lives and prevent injuries due to traffic crashes. The data collected from these systems are used to describe and analyze circumstances, mechanisms, and consequences of serious motor vehicle crashes in the United States. Additionally, these data are used by NHTSA to identify the primary factors related to the source of crashes and their injury outcomes, develop and evaluate effective safety countermeasures, the establishment and enforcement of motor vehicle regulations, that reduce the severity of injury and property damage caused by motor vehicle crashes. On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58) (IIJA) was signed into law. The Crash Data section (section 24108) of the IIJA authorizes the Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by delegation) to use funds to enhance the collection of data under CISS by, among other things, including additional data collection sites. As a result of the additional funding provided by the IIJA, in addition to the expansion of data collection from the last modification, NHTSA now plans to phase in 17 additional data collection sites in CISS over the next 3 years. The total data collection sites will incrementally increase from 56 to 73 over the next three years. NHTSA is now accounting for the increases in burden hours for interviewees, police, tow yards and medical facilities for an additional 17 data collection sites. The increase in burden hours and cost for these additional data collection sites are reflected in the Burden to Respondent section of this document. The current approval for Investigation-Based Crash Data Studies collection indicated a total annual 12,063 burden hours; this request increases the total annual burden hours to 17,521. The request for the collection of information is revised due to increasing the number of crashes investigated by Crash Technicians for 2025 and future years for CISS program. The combined impact is an increase of 5,458 total annual burden hours.

Abstract

Section 109(a) of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (TRHCA) (Pub. L. 109-432) amended section 1833(t) of the Social Security Act by adding a new subsection (17) that affects the payment rate update applicable to Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) payments for services furnished by hospitals in outpatient settings on or after January 1, 2009. Section 1833(t)(17)(A) of the Social Security Act, which applies to hospitals as defined under section 1886(d)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act, requires that hospitals that fail to report data required for quality measures selected by the Secretary in the form and manner required by the Secretary under section 1833(t)(17)(B) of the Social Security Act will incur a reduction in their annual payment update (APU) factor to the hospital outpatient department fee schedule by 2.0 percentage points. Hospital OQR Program payment determinations are made based on Hospital OQR Program quality measure data reported and supporting forms submitted by hospitals as specified through rulemaking. To reduce burden, a variety of different data collection mechanisms are employed, with every consideration taken to employ existing data and data collection systems.

Notice of Medical Necessity Criteria under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008

Key Information

Abstract

The Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA) was enacted on October 3, 2008 as sections 511 and 512 of the Tax Extenders and Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008 (Division C of Public Law 110-343). MHPAEA amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code). In 1996, Congress enacted the Mental Health Parity Act of 1996, which required parity in aggregate lifetime and annual dollar limits for mental health benefits and medical and surgical benefits. Those mental health parity provisions were codified in section 712 of ERISA, section 2705 of the PHS Act, and section 9812 of the Code. The changes made by MHPAEA are codified in these same sections and consist of new requirements as well as amendments to several of the existing mental health parity provisions applicable to group health plans and health insurance coverage offered in connection with a group health plan. MHPAEA and the interim final regulations do not apply to small employers who have between two and 50 employees. The changes made by MHPAEA are generally effective for plan years beginning after October 3, 2009. MHPAEA and the final regulations (29 CFR 2590.712(d)) require plan administrators to disclose the criteria for medical necessity determinations with respect to mental health and substance use disorder benefits. These third-party disclosures are information collection requests for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act. In response to provisions of the Cures Act requires the Departments of Labor (DOL), Health and Human Services, and the Treasury (collectively, the Departments), are providing a model form that participants, enrollees, or their authorized representatives could use to request information from their health plan or issuer regarding NQTLs that may affect their MH/SUD benefits, or to obtain documentation after an adverse benefit determination involving MH/SUD benefits to support an appeal.
