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.
Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

Railroad Operating Rules
Key Information
Abstract
The collection of information associated with CFR parts 217 and 218, Railroad Operating Rules and Practices, requires railroads to file with FRA copies of their operating rules, timetables, timetable special instructions, and subsequent amendments. The regulations also require railroads to retain copies of these documents at their systems headquarters and make these documents available to FRA upon request. FRA is requiring the installation of inward and outward-facing locomotive image recording devices on all lead locomotives in passenger trains, as required by the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act). In general, this final rule requires that these devices record while a lead locomotive is in motion and retain the data in a crashworthy memory module. This collection of information involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The collection frequency of the required information occurs on an occasional basis as well as annually. |

Rupture Mitigation Valve Recordkeeping Requirements
Key Information
Abstract
Pipeline Safety Regulations require operators of natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines to document certain procedures and to maintain records pertaining to various aspects of their rupture-mitigation valve operations. Operators who have experienced a rupture or rupture-mitigation valve shut-off are required to complete a post-incident review. The post-incident summary, all investigation and analysis documents used to prepare it, and records of lessons learned must be kept for the life of the pipeline. PHMSA estimates that it will take operators, on average, 40 hours to comply with this requirement. Operators must also develop written rupture identification procedures to evaluate and identify whether a notification of potential rupture is an actual rupture event or non-rupture event as soon as practicable. These procedures must, at a minimum, specify the sources of information, operational factors, and other criteria that operator personnel use to evaluate a notification of potential rupture. PHMSA estimates that it will take operators 40 hours comply with this requirement. Operators are also required to maintain certain records if they experience certain circumstances involving their rupture-mitigation valve operations. On average, PHMSA expects that it will take operators 8 hours to complete these recordkeeping requirements. PHMSA estimates that 1,812 operators (1,304 natural gas and 508 hazardous liquid) operators will be potentially impacted by these requirements. At minimum, all 1,812 operators will be required to develop written rupture identification procedures. PHMSA estimates 46 (24 gas and 22 hazardous liquid) of these operators will experience a rupture that will require the completion of a post-incident summary. PHMSA expects that 10 percent of the affected community (approximately 181 operators) will be subject to the various other recordkeeping requirements. As a result, PHMSA expects this information collection to result in 2,383 responses and 77,320 burden hours annually. |

Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA
Key Information
Abstract
USCIS uses the data collected on Form I-864 to determine whether the sponsor has the ability to support the sponsored alien under section 213A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). This form standardizes evaluation of a sponsor’s ability to support the sponsored alien and ensures that basic information required to assess eligibility is provided by petitioners. Form I-864A is a contract between the sponsor and the sponsor’s household members. It is only required if the sponsor used the income of his or her household members to reach the required 125 percent of the Federal poverty guidelines. The contract holds these household members jointly and severally liable for the support of the sponsored immigrant. The information collection required on Form I-864A is necessary for public benefit agencies to enforce the Affidavit of Support in the event the sponsor used income of his or her household members to reach the required income level and the public benefit agencies are requesting reimbursement from the sponsor. USCIS uses Form I-864EZ in exactly the same way as Form I-864; however, less information is collected from the sponsors as less information is needed from those who qualify in order to make a thorough adjudication. USCIS uses Form I-864W to determine whether the intending immigrant meets the criteria for exemption of section 213A requirements. This form collects the immigrant’s basic information, such as name and address, the reason for the exemption, and accompanying documentation in support of the immigrant’s claim that they are not subject to section 213A. |
