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.

X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Community Response Survey Preparation
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
AbstractSupersonic passenger flight over land is currently restricted in the U.S. and many countries because sonic booms have been known to disturb people on the ground. There is a potential for a change in federal and international regulations if supersonic flight can occur at acceptably low noise levels. NASA is preparing a series of Community Response Surveys coupled with research flights to gather data on the public acceptability of low noise supersonic flight. Prior to the Community Response Surveys, NASA is conducting a check of the overall survey process without accompanying flights (X-59 Community Response Survey Preparation, this ICR). This is necessary to minimize the risk of problems or errors with the actual Community Response Surveys, which will involve coordinating efforts with preparing and scheduling flights of the X-59 aircraft. After the Community Response Survey Preparation, NASA plans to conduct up to five Community Response Surveys (CRSs) in different areas of the contiguous U.S. Each CRS will have a maximum of 113 responses (“activities”) per respondent, spread across a 30-day period. Some responses are collected up to six times per day, while other responses are collected once per day. To reflect the true experience of the intended future surveys, this test survey will ask respondents to follow the same schedule. |

Remote Psychoacoustic Test for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Vehicle Noise Human Response, Phase 1
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
AbstractUAM vehicles are a part of NASA’s vision for Advanced Air Mobility, which seeks to develop new air transportation systems that move people and cargo between places previously not served or underserved by aviation. Representative UAM vehicle concepts involve the use of electrically driven rotors, and the noise from these air vehicles in communities may restrict their operation. The collection is a laboratory psychoacoustic test that seeks test subject annoyance response to sounds of different vehicles. The UAM Vehicle Noise Human Response Study is divided into a feasibility phase (Phase 1) and an implementation phase (Phase 2). In response to the recognition that annoyance response studies benefit from a diversity of test subjects, it was decided that both phases of the UAM Vehicle Noise Human Response Study will remotely administer a psychoacoustic test. The approval sought by this ICR only concerns Phase 1 of the test. |

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.
