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.

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.

Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program Model Eligibility Review Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The MIECHV program supports voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services during pregnancy and to families with young children up to kindergarten entry living in at-risk communities. One key program requirement is that programs deliver services using models that meet HHS criteria for evidence of effectiveness.1 HRSA and ACF define such service delivery models as “evidence-based.” ACF administers the Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness (HomVEE) review process to identify early childhood home visiting models that demonstrate evidence of effectiveness.2 However, not all evidence-based service delivery models approved through the HomVEE process meet MIECHV statutory requirements such that they may be used to carry out the MIECHV Program in fidelity to applicable program requirements. This ICR to proposes a survey to identify service delivery models that meet both HHS criteria for evidence of effectiveness, as determined by HomVEE review, and applicable MIECHV statutory requirements, and therefore may be used by eligible entities to provide home visiting services through the MIECHV Program.

Key Information

Abstract

The STURDY law (15 U.S.C. 2056f) directs the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) to promulgate rulemaking for clothing storage units (CSUs). A CSU is defined as a “any free-standing furniture item manufactured in the United States or imported for use in the United States that is intended for the storage of clothing, typical of bedroom furniture.” Pursuant to STURDY, CPSC published a final rule in the Federal Register (88 FR 28403, May 4, 2023) that incorporates by reference ASTM F2057. The requirements are codified at 16 CFR part 1261 and include warning labels that contain certain statements and pictograms. These requirements fall within the definition of “collection of information,” as defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3).

Patent Petitions Related to Application and Reexamination Processing Fees

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is required by 35 U.S.C. § 131 et seq. to examine an application for patent and, when appropriate, issue a patent. The USPTO also is required to publish patent applications, with certain exceptions, promptly after the expiration of a period of eighteen months from the earliest filing date for which a benefit is sought under Title 35, United States Code. Many actions taken by the USPTO during its examination of an application for patent or for reissue of a patent, or during its reexamination of a patent, are subject to review by an appeal to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB); appeals to PTAB are covered in other OMB approved information collections (0651-0063 and 0651-0069). For other USPTO actions, review is in the form of administrative review obtained via submission of a petition to the USPTO. USPTO petitions practice also provides an opportunity for a patent applicant or owner to supply additional information that may be required in order for the USPTO to further process an application or patent. This information collection covers petitions filed in patent applications and reexamination proceedings that, when submitted to the USPTO, must be accompanied by the fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(f), (g), or (h). This information collection also covers the transmittals for the petitions fees.

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission is requesting approval for non-substantive changes to the fillable questionnaire associated with the FCC’s Preparation of Annual Reports to Congress for the Collection & Use of Fees for 988 Services by States & Other Jurisdictions Under the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act of 2020 information collection, OMB Control No. 3060-1301.

This information collection enables the Federal Communications Commission to fulfill its continuing obligations under the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act of 2020, Pub. L.
