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.

Abstract

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration is submitting this non-substantive change request in order to bring the demographic questions in line with the OPM issued memorandum titled, "Initial Guidance Regarding President Trump’s Executive Order Defending Women. The only change was to question 10.8 to reflect that NOAA is collecting ‘sex’ information and to remove two response options. This change is minimal and does not change the public burden.

Automobile Parts Tariff Offset

Key Information

Abstract

On March 26, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10908 (90 FR 14705), “Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States,” (Proclamation 10908) finding that imports of automobiles and certain automobile parts continue to threaten to impair the national security of the United States and imposing specified tariffs to adjust imports of automobiles and certain automobile parts so that such imports will not threaten to impair national security pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (“Section 232”). Section 232 authorizes the President to adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives that are being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States so that such imports will not threaten to impair national security. Proclamation 10908 imposed a 25 percent tariff on certain imports of automobiles, effective April 3, 2025, and certain imports of automobile parts, effective May 3, 2025. On April 29, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10925 (90 FR 18899), which allowed for automobile manufactures assembling automobiles in the United States to apply for an import adjustment offset amount, which would offset certain tariff liability under Proclamation 10908 on imports of automobile parts. Proclamation 10925 required that within 30 days of the date of the order the Secretary of the Department of Commerce (Commerce) shall establish a process by which automobile manufacturers could submit documentation supporting eligibility and a claim for an import adjustment offset amount. A prepared notice announces procedures for administration of the import adjustment offset amount program, including application, documentation, and certification requirements, eligibility conditions, and coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This notice establishes procedures for submission and review of such documentation by the Department of Commerce (Department), and the establishment of this notice has resulted in this new IC request.Emergency Justfication:The collection of information is needed to meet requirements described in Proclamation 10925 (90 FR 18899), issued by the President on April 29, 2025, which allowed for automobile manufactures assembling automobiles in the United States to apply for an import adjustment offset amount, which would offset certain tariff liability under Proclamation 10908 on imports of automobile parts.

Formative Data Collections for ACF Research

Key Information

Abstract

ACF programs promote the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities. OPRE studies ACF programs, and the populations they serve, through rigorous research and evaluation projects. These include evaluations of existing programs, evaluations of innovative approaches to helping low income children and families, research syntheses, and descriptive and exploratory studies. OPRE’s research offers further understanding of current programs and service populations, explores options for program improvement, and assesses alternative policy and program designs. OPRE anticipates undertaking a variety of new research projects related to welfare, employment and self-sufficiency, Head Start, child care, healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood, family and youth services, home visiting, child welfare, trafficking, community services, and other areas of interest to ACF. Some ACF program offices conduct their own research and evaluation projects. Under this generic clearance, ACF engages in a variety of formative data collections with researchers, practitioners, TA providers, service providers and potential participants throughout the field to fulfill the following goals: (1) inform the development of ACF research, (2) maintain a research agenda that is rigorous and relevant, (3) ensure that research products are as current as possible and (4) inform the provision of technical assistance and supports around research and evaluation. ACF envisions using a variety of techniques including semi-structured discussions, focus groups, surveys, and telephone or in-person interviews, in order to reach these goals. Under this request, ACF seeks continued approval to collect information from more than 9 respondents that can inform and support future and current research but that are not highly systematic or intended to be statistically representative or otherwise generalizable. This request is for a revision. Specifically, we request to extend approval of the umbrella generic with no changes to the overall terms or scope. We have updated the request to reflect burden for the next three years (no changes from estimates for the previous three years), include ongoing generic information collections (GenIC) that have been approved and are still in process, and to update one previously approved GenIC that was originally approved prior to the last extension request in 2021. The updates to the one GenIC are to ensure the information provided is still accurate.

Generic Performance Progress Reports

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is to extend data collection under the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Generic Program-Specific Performance Progress Report (PPR) (0970-0490). This overarching generic has allowed ACF program offices to collect performance and progress data from recipients who receive funding from ACF under a discretionary award. This information is required under 45 CFR 75.342, monitoring and reporting program performance; 45 CFR 75.301, performance measurement; and the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub.L. 111-352, Sec 12). This current request is for an extension for the overarching generic and ongoing generic information collections under the umbrella. The request also expands the overarching generic to include the collection of performance and progress data from recipients who receive funding from ACF under a non-discretionary award.

Incident Reporting for the Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau

Key Information

Abstract

The ORR Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau (UACB) provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State- licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to ensure that serious issues are elevated to ORR and that all incidents, and responses to such incidents, are documented and resolved in a way that protects the interests of unaccompanied alien children. ORR is in the process of reorganizing its information collections to better manage its large portfolio of forms. As part of that reorganization effort, ORR is submitting this request to transfer six existing forms (with revisions) currently approved under OMB# 0970-0547 under a new OMB control number.

National Medical Support Notice - Part A

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) developed the National Medical Support Notice (NMSN) Part A as a standard, required form for child support agencies to use to ensure dependent children are enrolled in available employer-sponsored medical coverage, if required by a support order. The NMSN Part A was most recently approved on 11/22/2022 and the current expiration date is11/30/2025. Currently, child support agencies download the paper NMSN form from the OCSS website, complete the form manually, and exchange NMSNs with employer partners by U.S. mail. Some states (e.g. TX) allow employers to retrieve the NMSN from their employer portal but there are not many states that do so. Currently, states send the completed NMSN to employers via U.S. mail, the employer responds to the state child support agencies by U.S. mail, and employers send the NMSN to their plan administrators, also by U.S. mail. OCSS developed an electronic option for child support agencies to exchange NMSNs with employer partners. To exchange that information, OCSS created the e-NMSN record specifications to accompany the currently approved NMSN Part A. With the electronic e-NMSN process, states, employers, and plan administrators may exchange the documents electronically without using the U.S. mail, thereby saving time and mailing costs. Note that use of the e-NMSN electronic reporting process will not change any of the data elements collected under the currently approved NMSN Part A. Adding the newly developed e-NMSN record specifications to the NMSN Part A allows states and tribes to program their systems to send the notice electronically to employers participating in e-NMSN. The electronic process reduces the time for states and tribes to send and employers to receive and process medical support orders allowing coverage for children to begin much sooner. This e-NMSN process is voluntary for all states, tribes, and employers. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

NHTTAC Consultant and Evaluation Package

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) serves as the lead U.S. Department of Health and Human Services agency to combat trafficking and modern forms of slavery by administering anti-trafficking programs through grants and contracts and collaborating with federal, tribal, state, and local governmental and nongovernmental organizations. The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP), a federal agency within ACF, provides leadership over anti-trafficking programs and services under the purview of ACF, including implementation of authorities under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, as amended; Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113‒183); Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114‒22); and the Stop, Observe, Ask, and Respond (SOAR) to Health and Wellness Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–398). In 2016, OTIP, with authority from the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106‒386), Section 106(b), as amended at 22 U.S. Code § 7104 and 22 U.S. Code § 7105(c)(4), established the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC) to build the capacity of health and human services professionals and help prevent, identify, and respond to trafficking. This is an existing collection that allows NHTTAC to assess the ongoing training and technical assistance (T/TA) needs of health and human services professionals in preventing, identifying, and responding to trafficking, and to determine the level of satisfaction with services provided by NHTTAC. This package includes eight instruments to assist with a comprehensive evaluation of NHTTAC’s T/TA events and associated efforts. This collection of information is necessary to enable NHTTAC to collect recipient and partner feedback in an efficient, timely manner and in accordance with OTIP’s commitment to improving service delivery. The information collected from recipients and partners will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with NHTTAC’s T/TA services. This feedback provides insights into recipient or partner perceptions, expectations, and experiences; provides an early warning of issues with T/TA; and focuses attention on areas where communication, training, or changes in operations might improve the delivery of T/TA or the responsiveness of NHTTAC. These collections allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between NHTTAC and its recipients and partners. It also allows feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Abstract

The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) helps state child support agencies (CSA) develop, manage, and operate their programs effectively according to federal law. OCSE operates the Federal Collections Enforcement (FCE) program, which provides limited enforcement services that facilitate collecting past-due child and spousal support. This information collection ensures continued compliance with federal law that requires and governs the Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport Denial programs. The Federal Tax Refund Offset and Administrative Offset programs are conducted by OCSE and the Department of the Treasury’s (U.S. Treasury) Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS). The Passport Denial Program is conducted by OCSE and the U.S. Department of State (DOS). The information collection activities are authorized as follows: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulation requires state CSAs to notify OCSE of any deletion of or change in the debt submitted for federal tax refund offset. U.S. Treasury regulations also require states to notify OCSE of any decrease in or elimination of an amount referred for collection by federal income tax refund offset and by administrative offset within timeframes established by OCSE. 45 CFR 303.72(d)(2); 31 CFR 285.1(g); and 31 CFR 285.3(c)(5). The Federal Tax Refund Offset Program requires state CSAs to submit past-due support case information that meets specific criteria to offset a federal tax refund of a noncustodial parent owing past-due support. 42 U.S.C. §§ 652(b) and 664; 26 U.S.C. § 6402(c); 45 CFR 302.60 and 303.72. The Administrative Offset Program requires state CSAs to submit past-due support case information that meets specific criteria to withhold federal payments, other than federal tax refunds, to a noncustodial parent who owes past-due support. State participation in the Administrative Offset Program is optional, but states opting to participate must comply with federal requirements, including submitting the information required for the proposed collection. 31 U.S.C. § 3716(h); the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-134, April 26, 1996); 31 CFR 285.1 and 285.3. The Passport Denial Program requires state CSAs to submit to DOS past-due support case information that meets specific criteria for the denial, revocation, restriction, or limitation of a passport held by a noncustodial parent who owes past-due support. 42 U.S.C. §§ 654(31) and 652(k); 22 CFR 51.60. State CSAs must submit the Annual Certification Letter to certify that each case submitted to OCSE for the Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, and Passport Denial programs meets federal requirements. 42 U.S.C. § 664; 31 CFR 285.1 and 285.3; 42 U.S.C. § 654(31). OCSE made minor formatting enhancements to the FCE Portal screens and removed the option to select gender. These program changes do not impact the burden.

45 CFR 303.7 - Provision of Services in Intergovernmental IV-D; Federally Approved Forms

Key Information

Abstract

The federally-approved intergovernmental forms are used to facilitate interstate child support case processing when more than one state child support agency is involved, estimated to be in about 15-25% of child support cases. Use of these federal forms is required by 45 CFR 303.7(a)(4) and Section 311(b) of the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (state law that states must adopt as a condition of receiving federal funding for child support). This information collection was first approved in 1988 and has evolved over time. The current set of forms will expire in February 2026. Currently, there are 13 intergovernmental forms each addressing different case processing actions that may be needed in a case. Some of the forms are for agency use only, while some may be completed by private individuals or entities involved in the case. For a list of the forms, see the OCSS website: Intergovernmental Child Support Enforcement Forms | The Administration for Children and Families (hhs.gov). Many families receiving child support services may be English-language learners for whom forms in English are a barrier to receiving effective services. Over the years, states have asked OCSS for translated versions of the forms, especially to serve the large numbers of Spanish-speaking families in many states. According to 2019 Census data, as many as 41 million people speak Spanish in their homes in the U.S. Better serving these families with translated forms aligns with Secretary Becerra’s commitment to improve and provide language access services to English-language learners (i.e., individuals with Limited English Proficiency) under Executive Orders 13166, 13985, and 14031. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

State Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP)

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration on Children, Youth and Families' (ACYF) Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) administers the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), which funds states and territories to implement personal responsibility education programs that educate adolescents on both abstinence and contraception for the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS. PREP projects must also implement at least three adulthood preparation subjects and replicate evidence-based effective programs or substantially incorporate elements of effective programs that have been proven on the basis of scientific research to change behavior. This means delaying sexual activity, increasing condom or contraceptive use for sexually active youth, or reducing pregnancy among youth. States and territories are required to submit plans for the implementation of personal responsibility education. The plans provide information about how the state or territory plans to use their state allotment for the development and implementation of education programs aimed to reduce the pregnancy rates and birth rates for youth populations, especially youth populations that are the most high-risk or vulnerable for pregnancies or otherwise have special circumstances, including youth in foster care, homeless youth, youth with HIV/AIDS, pregnant youth who are under 21 years of age, mothers who are under 21 years of age, and youth residing in areas with high birth rates for youth. No changes are proposed to the state plan. States and territories must also submit a performance progress report (PPR) on a semi-annual basis that informs the monitoring of their program design, program evaluation, management improvement, service quality, and compliance with agreed upon goals. The PPRs provide FYSB with information to assure effective service delivery for youth participants, report outcomes and efficiencies, and provide valuable information to policy makers and key stakeholders in the development of program and research efforts. FYSB proposes updates to the PPR to include a request for information related to equity activities and strategies to mitigate challenges. The inclusion of information on equity activities will support the FYSB Equity Action Plan objectives and identify opportunities to inform the development of T&TA resources, as needed. The inclusion of strategies to mitigate challenges will allow grant recipients to demonstrate how they overcome challenges which can inform peer to peer sharing. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Center for Substance Abuse Prevention Online Reporting Tool (CORT)

Key Information

Abstract

The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) Online Reporting Tool (CORT) instruments will be used to monitor CSAP discretionary grant programs through administration of a suite of data collection instruments for grant compliance and programmatic performance monitoring. This request for data collection will replace OMB No. 0930-0354: Division of State Programs – Management Reporting Tool. Data collected through the CORT will provide critical information to SAMHSA’s Government Project Officers related to grant oversight, including barriers and facilitators that the grantees have experienced, and an understanding of the technical assistance needed to help grantees implement their programs. The information also provides a mechanism to ensure grantees are meeting the requirements of the grant funding announcement as outlined in their notice of grant award. In addition, the tool reflects CSAP’s desire to elicit pertinent program level data that can be used not only to guide future programs and practices, but also to respond to stakeholder, congressional and agency inquiries

Unaccompanied Alien Children Assessments for Children and Sponsors

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain lawful immigration status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State-licensed, except those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary emergency or influx care facilities and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. In order to adequately provide for the safety and wellbeing of children in ORR care, ORR conducts assessments of the child upon admission and at routine intervals while in ORR custody. Concurrently, ORR must identify and assess the suitability of potential sponsors and household members to ensure safe and timely release of the child to vetted and adult, qualified to provide for the child’s physical and emotional wellbeing. ORR uses several instruments to carry out its responsibilities with respect to UAC. These instruments are used, for example, to evaluate the child’s physical and mental health status, capture important biographic data, determine risk of sexual abuse or victimization, and enable ORR to track high-level milestones in the child’s case up through release. ORR has also developed an instrument to identify and screen potential sponsors. The instruments in this proposed information collection allow ORR to document the findings of these assessments as required by the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 279); the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232); the Foundational Rule, 45 C.F.R. Part 410; and the Prevention of Sexual Abuse Interim Final Rule, 45 C.F.R. Part 411. Forms transferred from the Services information collection (OMB # 0970-0553) were last approved by OMB on August 22, 2024 and expire on April 30, 2025. Once approved, the Assessments information collection will contain a total of 9 unique, revised forms.
