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.

Consent-Based Social Security Number Verification Service (CBSV)

Key Information

Abstract

SSA is requesting to make revisions to the CBSV User Agreement. This collection instrument defines the conditions, terms, and safeguards under which SSA provides participating businesses with the verification of Social Security numbers. This action does not affect the public reporting burden. SSA developed CBSV in response to multiple requests from the business community. CBSV is a fee-for-service process which allows SSA to process high volumes of SSN verifications that companies need for business purposes. Since this is not required by law but is being provided as a service, businesses incur the costs of CBSV. The respondents are companies requesting SSN verifications from SSA as part of their business process.

Application for Approval to Participate in Federal Student Aid Programs

Key Information

Abstract

Section 487(c) of the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as amended, requires that the Secretary of Education prescribe regulations to ensure that any funds postsecondary institutions receive under the HEA are used solely for the purposes specified in and in accordance with the provision of the applicable programs. Part H, Subpart 3, Section 498 of the HEA of 1965, as amended, gives the Secretary the responsibility for determining qualifications of institutions of higher education to participate in programs under the HEA. To comply with this requirement Section 498(b) of the HEA specified that the Secretary prepare and prescribe a single application form. The Department of Education (the Department) developed the Application for Approval to Participate in the Federal Student Financial Aid Programs to comply with the statutory requirements of collecting necessary information under the HEA. An institution must use this Application to apply for approval to be determined to be eligible and if the institution wishes, to participate; to expand its eligibility; or to continue to participate in the Title IV programs. An institution must also use the Application to report certain required data as part of its recordkeeping requirements contained in the regulations under 34 C.F.R. Part 600 (Institutional Eligibility under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended). The Department uses the information reported on the Application in its determination of whether an institution meets the statutory and regulatory requirements. This request is for a revision of the current information collection.

Changes in Permissible Stage 2 Airplane Operations

Key Information

Abstract

The information collected is used by the FAA, Noise Division of the Office of Environment and Energy, to issue special flight authorizations for nonrevenue operations of transports and non-transport jet, Stage 2 airplanes at U.S. airports. The operators of such noisier airplanes that seek specific operations into U.S. airports must fill out an SFA form to request FAA approval. The collection of this information is mandatory and must be reported by operators when they need a special flight authorization after 12/31/2015. Minimal data is requested to identify the affected parties and determine whether the purpose for the flight is one of the ones enumerated in the law. The collection of information is on occasion and follows the circumstances enumerated in the law. The submitted data, about requested flight departure and arrival airports that match the purpose of flight, is used to attest to such authorized flight operations in the case of audit by FAA enforcement personnel. The FAA maintains in records the original request information. FAA form 1050-8 exists to minimize operator and FAA workload; intended to get all the information at one time in most cases (avoid repeated contacts to issue one special flight authorization).

Abstract

DOL uses the information collected in ETA 9128 and ETA 9129 1) to evaluate state performance in terms of service delivery; and 2) to report on the RESAs, including the number of scheduled in-person reemployment and eligibility assessments, the number of individuals who failed to appear for scheduled assessments, actions taken as a result of individuals not appearing for an assessment (e.g., benefits terminated), results of assessments (e.g., referred to reemployment services, found in compliance with program requirements), estimated savings resulting from cessation of benefits, and estimated savings as a result of accelerated reemployment. The population served includes claimants who have been determined to be most likely to exhaust their benefits and veterans receiving Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers (UCX). It is proposed that the population of claimants who are most likely to exhaust their benefits be reported on the ETA 9128 and the ETA 9129 and separate reports with the same data elements be provided for UCX claimants. These reports will be the ETA 9128 X and the ETA 9129 X.

West Coast Region Groundfish Trawl Fishery Electronic Monitoring Program

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for the renewal of an approved information collection. Under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the Pacific coast groundfish fishery is managed under the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) by the National Marine Fisheries Service West Coast Region. One sector of the groundfish fishery has limited entry permits endorsed for trawl gear and is managed under a catch share program. The catch share program implemented requirements for 100- percent observer coverage at-sea and dockside to ensure full accountability for catch of allocated species and a level playing field for all participants. To provide a cost-effective alternative to human observer coverage, vessels may choose to use electronic monitoring (EM). EM uses video cameras and integrated sensors (e.g., GPS, motion sensor, hydraulic pressure sensor) to passively monitor fishing activity at-sea. The video and sensor data can be reviewed after the trip by an analyst onshore to collect information about location and amount of catch and fishing effort. EM has the potential to reduce monitoring costs because it does not require deploying a person on the vessel and the logistical and travel expenses that generates. This information collection includes a permit application and associated documents for EM service provider companies, a permit application and associated documents for vessels participating in EM, and a logbook and video hard drive submissions for participating vessels. The information is used to allow vessels to utilize EM in lieu of the 100% human observer requirement and for fishery catch accounting to occur according to regulations in place at 50 CFR 660 subpart J.

Request for Designation as an Eligible Institution Under Section 312 of the HEA and Waivers of the Non-Federal Cost Share Reimbursement (1894-0001)

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information is necessary in order for the Secretary of Education to designate an institution of higher education eligible to apply for funding under Section 312 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. An institution must apply to the Secretary to be designated as an eligible institution. This collection of information is gathered electronically by the Department for the purpose of determining an institution’s eligibility to participate in grant programs under Section 312 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 based on its enrollment of needy students and low average Core Expenses per full-time equivalent student. This collection also allows an institution to request a waiver of certain non-Federal cost-share requirements under the Federal Work-Study Program, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, and Student Support Services Program. The collection is paired with a computational exercise that results in the simultaneous publication of an Eligibility Matrix, a listing of postsecondary institutions potentially eligible to apply for grants in Institutional Service. Criteria derived from applicable legislation and regulations are applied to enrollment and financial data from Department sources to determine the eligibility of each institution for each program. Only those institutions that either do not meet the financial criteria or do not appear in the Eligibility Matrix need to go through the application process. The results of the application process are a determination of eligibility for grant application and waiver, and updated information on institutional eligibility which is added to the Eligibility Matrix.

Occupant Anthropometry and Seating

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval for this new information collection request (ICR) to collect detailed information on current body size and shape, posture, and motion of vehicle occupants. This research will support NHTSA in the development of tools used for occupant protection during crashes, will add to the body of knowledge, and will inform future agency activities; however, it is not associated with immediate regulatory activities. The designs of anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs, commonly known as crash test dummies) are based on measurements of volunteers sitting in vehicle and laboratory seats. The current generation of ATDs is based on data gathered at University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) in the 1980s. Since that time, the U.S. population has change substantially, most notably due to the large increase in body mass. Measurement technologies have also improved dramatically with the development of fast three-dimensional surface measurement systems. Seating configurations have also expanded from the traditional seat posture collected in the 1980s with increased recline angles in modern vehicles. This combination of a population size shift and more variable seat configurations presents a clear need for updated seated anthropometry to be collected with new advanced anthropometry measurement capabilities. The individual data collections, approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Michigan, will each be performed once. Study participants will be male and female licensed adult drivers from the general public, and participation will be voluntary with compensation. For an in-lab study, information collections include (1) an online screening questionnaire; (2) an eligibility phone call to confirm eligibility, interest, and to schedule a time in the lab; and (3) informed consent for the in-lab study and anthropometric measurement. A subset of the in-lab participants will be asked to participate in an in-vehicle study to include (1) a pre-drive questionnaire for the in-vehicle study; (2) informed consent for the in-vehicle study and anthropometric measurements; and (3) a post-drive questionnaire for the in-vehicle study. This research study will gather a new database of information on adult body size, shape, posture, and motion to support advancement in these safety applications. This study will add to the body of the knowledge on motor vehicle anthropometry and will support crash safety and occupant protection through the development of human body models (HBMs) and anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs). A technical report on the project and outcomes will be prepared and published. The annual burden hours for the new collection are estimated to be 341 with an estimated $11,379 in opportunity costs.

Factors That Influence Effectiveness of Hazard Anticipation and Attention Maintenance Training

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking approval for a one-time voluntary information collection from 168 participants ages 18 and 19 who do not yet have driver’s licenses for a research study on novice driver training. Specifically, this collection involves developing and testing a novice driver training program on a smartphone-like platform and determining whether the effectiveness of the training differs for participants of different sexes, socio-economic status (SES) strata, and trait levels of sensation seeking and aggressiveness. The information collection will proceed in two phases. First, the research team expects to provide screening questionnaires to 1,002 potential participants to determine their eligibility for the study; screening questionnaires will be provided to those who respond to recruitment information about the study posted on social media platforms or provided to contacts in local communities (e.g., teen centers, community college faculty in the area, high school principals, local driving schools) and to those who participated in past studies at the research center and agreed to be contacted about future opportunities. To be eligible, participants must be 18 or 19 years old, must not have an unrestricted driver’s license or an intermediate/provisional license that allows driving independently, and must be interested in obtaining an unrestricted or intermediate/provisional license in the next 12 months. Participants may have a learner’s permit. Completing the screening questionnaire is estimated to have a burden of 5 minutes per respondent (an annual burden of 28 hours for 334 annual respondents, averaged over the three-year approval period). Second, of the estimated 1,002 potential participants who are provided a screening questionnaire, an estimated 180 respondents are expected to complete the screening questionnaire and be eligible, interested, and willing to travel to the research center to undergo the informed consent process, with an estimated burden of 70 minutes per respondent, including travel time (an annual burden of 70 hours for 60 annual respondents). Finally, of the estimated 180 respondents who undergo the informed consent process, an estimated 168 respondents are expected to consent and enroll in the study. These participants will complete the enrollment process and a pre-study questionnaire, with an estimated burden of 10 minutes per respondent (an annual burden of 9 hours for 56 annual respondents). Then, participants will complete the novice driver training protocol, which involves a pre-training test, the hazard anticipation and attention maintenance training program (or a placebo training program), a post-training test (all administered on a computer), a rest break, a test on a computerized driving simulator, and a post-study questionnaire. The training protocol has an estimated burden of 230 minutes per respondent (an annual burden of 215 hours for 56 annual respondents). The total annual burden for this information collection is 322 hours and $13,069. Prior to conducting the study, the research team will obtain review and approval of this data collection from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) that meets all Federal requirements in 45 CFR 46, is registered with the Office for Human Research Protections, and has a Federal wide Assurance. NHTSA will use the results of this study to produce a technical report containing summary descriptive and inferential statistics. No identifying information or individual responses will be reported. The technical report will be shared with State highway safety offices, local governments, policymakers, researchers, educators, advocates, and others who may wish to use the data from this survey to support their work on novice and teen driver safety.
