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.

Authorizing Statutes38 USC 3702(c) (View Law) 38 USC 3710 (View Law) AbstractVA Form 26-1820 is used for loans closed on the prior approval and automatic basis. It is used by lenders closing VA loans under 38 U.S.C. 3710 and thereby complies with the provisions of 38 U.S.C. 3702(c) which requires lenders to report to the Secretary on loans guaranteed or insured. In this information collection request VA has revised the VA Form 26-1820 to include additional fields and certifications. The fields added are already collected routinely by the lender and do not add an undue burden to the lender. In addition, certifications that are to be provided to the Veteran were added that were included in OMB Control # 2900-0144. |

Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes21 USC 393(d)(2) (View Law) AbstractThis information collection request supports the creation of an information collection for the development of a “Generic Clearance for Quick Turnaround Testing of Communication Effectiveness.” Section 1003(d)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 393(d)(2)) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act authorizes the FDA to conduct food research and educational and public information programs relating to the safety of the nation’s food supply. The generic studies covered by this request will be used to test FDA communications and educational messages related to FDA-regulated food and cosmetic products, dietary supplements, and animal food and feed when there is a need for a quick OMB clearance turnaround during matters requiring urgent public health communications. Collecting information from consumers and other stakeholders during urgent public health matters will help ensure that FDA’s messaging has reached the target audience and has been understood. Data will be collected using self-report web-based surveys, focus groups, and one-on-one in-depth interviews. |

Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing StatutesPub.L. 111 - 203 929W (View Law) AbstractThe purpose of Rule 17Ad-17 is to reduce the number of lost securityholders by requiring transfer agents, brokers, dealers, and paying agents (collectively, "covered entities") to conduct two database searches for correct addresses for the lost securityholders. Rule 17Ad-17 requires a mandatory "collection of information" that requires covered entities to maintain records in order to comply with and to demonstrate compliance with the rule, which includes written procedures that describe the transfer agent's, broker's, dealer's, or paying agent's methodology for complying with the rule. Such records must be maintained for a period of not less than three years with the first year in an easily accessible place. The Commission reviews this information to test for compliance. The collection of information is necessary to enable covered entities, as custodians of records that determine the ownership of securities and the entitlement to corporate distributions, to reduce the number of lost and missing securityholders. The Dodd-Frank Act required certain changes to this rule. |

Authorizing Statutes42 USC 1861 et seq. (View Law) AbstractThe purpose of the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Account Profile is to collect information (contact information, demographic information, and academic/professional information) on Research.gov. This profile will assist the NSF in maintaining a centralized account registration and profile management process for the external research community, persisting across all NSF business applications throughout their research career. The original version of Account Registration and Management Records, NSF-76, was approved for implementation in the Federal Register (FR) [Volume 83, pages 6884-6885, February 15, 2018]. The NSF Account Profile directly benefits researchers by making it easier for them to access and update their information over time, which will be used to pre-populate forms, downstream applications, and databases for users. The NSF Account Profile allows for single sign on (SSO) to downstream NSF business applications and ensures data integrity on the profile, fully managed by the individual researcher. The NSF Account Profile also reduces administrative burden for support professionals by improving efficiencies for internal staff as they review and evaluate NSF programs, facilitate proposal submission, simplify reviewer activities, and provide data for the selection and management of reviewers and related merit review functions. |

Authorizing StatutesPub.L. 108 - 199 3 (View Law) AbstractThe DC Opportunity Scholarship Program, authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004, and reauthorized in 2017 by the Scholarships for Opportunity and Results (SOAR) Reauthorization Act, awarded a grant to Serving Our Children in order to administer scholarships to students who reside in the District of Columbia and come from households whose incomes do not exceed 185% of the poverty line. To assist in the student selection and assignment process, the information collected is used to determine the eligibility of those students who are interested in the available scholarships. Also, since the authorizing statute requires an evaluation, we are proposing to collect certain family demographic information because they are important predictors of school success. Finally, we are asking to collect information about parental participation and satisfaction because these are key topics that the statute requires the evaluation to address. This request makes two small changes to the questions previously approved by OMB. One is to add a question about how the families heard of Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP). The other is to add a check box in section 9 (relating to students with disabilities) pursuant to the competitive grant application instructions. Previously this information collection was approved under OMB #1855-0015. This program and the associated collection were moved to the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education within the Department. As such, it requires a new OMB number that corresponds with the OMB numbers for collections from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. For that reason, we are requesting a new information collection and will discontinue 1855-0015 when this request is approved. |

Authorizing StatutesAbstractIn general, the federal flood insurance statutes and Regulation H - Membership of State Banking Institutions in the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR Part 208) provide that a lender shall not make, increase, extend, or renew a loan secured by a building or mobile home located in a special flood hazard area unless the secured property is covered by flood insurance for the term of the loan. With respect to the recordkeeping and disclosure provisions, the regulation generally requires state member banks to retain certain flood hazard documentation and to notify borrowers and servicers regarding properties in flood hazard areas and requirements related to flood insurance. State member banks also must notify the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) of the identity of, and any change in, the servicer of a loan secured by improved property in a special flood hazard area. The information collection requirements under the flood hazard provisions of Regulation H are triggered by specific events in the lending process. |

Why They Are Important
ICRs play a vital role in ensuring transparency and accountability in federal data collection. When federal agencies collect information from 10 or more "persons" (which includes individuals,
businesses, and state, local, and tribal governments), they must submit an ICR to ensure that it fulfills their statutory missions, avoids unnecessary or duplicative requests, and
minimizes burden on the American public. Additionally, Federal Register Notices (FRNs) and the opportunity for public comments provide a formal way for the public to be informed of
proposed ICRs and participate in the process.
ICRs also serve as a key resource for tracking changes to federal data collections. The availability of detailed documentation, such as data collection instruments and methodologies,
allows the general public to identify revisions in a timely manner. These may include revisions prompted by Executive Orders or statistical policies like
OMB's Statistical Policy Directive No. 15 (SPD 15), which are often submitted as "nonsubstantive" or "nonmaterial" changes to a
currently approved collection.[1] Furthermore, ICRs can help determine if a data collection has expired without renewal or has been intentionally
discontinued. By reviewing ICRs, the public can better understand what data is being collected, how it evolves over time, and whether data collections have become inactive–often in response
to shifting priorities and updated standards.
How To Use The Tool
The ICR tracking tool offers a user-friendly view of ICRs that have been recently submitted, reviewed, or are nearing expiration. By aggregating key data from individual ICRs,
the tool allows users to view the current status of each request, including submission, conclusion, and expiration dates, details on whether any changes were made, authorizing statutes,
and more. Users can search for specific information and filter results based on various criteria. If seeking additional information, various text fields are hyperlinked to the full ICR
on RegInfo.gov and associated resources. The tool is updated on a daily basis to reflect the most current information available.
