Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
ICR Definition
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.

West Coast Groundfish Trawl Logbook
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing StatutesPub.L. 94 - 265 303 (View Law) AbstractThis request is for extension of a currently approved collection. The success of fisheries management programs depends significantly on the availability of fishery data. Currently, the states of Washington, Oregon, and California administer a trawl logbook on behalf of the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) and NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The log used is a standard format developed by the Council to collect information necessary to effectively manage the fishery on a coast-wide basis. The trawl logbook collects haul-level effort data including tow time, tow location, depth of catch, net type, target strategy, and estimated pounds of fish retained per tow. Each trawl log represents a single fishing trip. The state of California repealed their requirement, effective April 1, 2019, therefore, NMFS created a federal requirement in order to not lose logbook coverage from trawl vessels in California. This federal requirement duplicates the logbook structure and process that the state of California was using in order to minimize disruption or confusion for fishery participants. Under this rule, NMFS contracts with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) to distribute and collect the same logbook these fishermen were using previously. These data are used regularly by NMFS, the Pacific Fishery Management Council, the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program, NMFS Office of Law Enforcement, and the Coast Guard for fisheries management and enforcement. |

Substances Generally Recognized as Safe: Best Practices for Convening a GRAS Panel
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes21 USC 321(s) (View Law) AbstractFDA seeks OMB approval for the final guidance document entitled, “Best Practices for Convening a Generally Recognized as Safe Panel,” which, once finalized, would assist persons who choose to convene a panel of experts in support of a conclusion that the use of a substance in food is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). To support a GRAS conclusion, a proponent may convene a panel of qualified experts to provide evidence that generally available safety data and information about the intended use of the substance in food are generally accepted among experts, which is one of the criteria for eligibility for GRAS status. The information collection recommendations (establishment of a written GRAS panel policy, solicitation of information from prospective GRAS panel members about potential conflicts of interest and other sources of bias, and documentation of the application of the GRAS panel policy to each GRAS panel member) would help the respondent to identify GRAS panel members who have appropriate and balanced expertise and reduce the risk that bias (or the appearance of bias) will affect the credibility of the GRAS panel’s output. |

Authorizing Statutes44 USC 3583 (View Law) AbstractThe Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (44 U.S.C. 3583) mandates that the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) establish a standard application process (SAP) for requesting access to certain confidential data assets. While the adoption of the SAP is required for statistical agencies and units designated under the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2018 (CIPSEA), it is recognized that other agencies and organizational units within the Executive Branch may benefit from the adoption of the SAP to accept applications for access to confidential data assets. The SAP is to be a process through which agencies, the Congressional Budget Office, State, local, and Tribal governments, researchers, and other individuals, as appropriate, may apply to access confidential data assets held by a federal statistical agency or unit for the purposes of developing evidence. With the Interagency Council on Statistical Policy (ICSP) as advisors, the entities upon whom this requirement is levied are working with the SAP Project Management Office (PMO) and with OMB to implement the SAP. The SAP Portal is to be a single web-based common application designed to collect information from individuals requesting access to confidential data assets from federal statistical agencies and units. Specifically, the recognized statistical agencies and units are required to implement a common application process which includes an application form, the criteria for determining whether to grant an applicant access to a confidential data asset, timeframes for prompt determinations, an appeals process for adverse determinations, and reporting requirements for full transparency of the process. |
