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 StatutesPub.L. 111 - 148 1411 (View Law) Pub.L. 111 - 148 1321 (View Law) AbstractIn its administration of the Medicare Modernization Act, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is a covered entity under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) rules. As a covered entity, CMS is required to verify at a high level of assurance all persons requesting access to CMS' computer systems. Under the Health Care Reform Bill HR 3590, known as the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (PPACA), there are many provisions that require the secure ingress and egress of data from CMS. CMS has created the horizontal enterprise services programs to address those provisions. One of these programs is the Enterprise Identity Management (EIDM) system. Identity management is an important part of protecting the security of CMS' data by ensuring that individuals are who they claim to be. The EIDM solution will provide an enterprise-wide solution that will also support CMS' senior management goal to improve the Provider and Health Information Exchange experience by providing an enterprise-wide set of credentials and single sign-on capability for multiple CMS applications. |

Authorizing Statutes42 USC 612 (View Law) AbstractSection 412(a)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 612(a)(2)), as amended by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 and the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, created a new tribal work activities program – the Native Employment Works (NEW) program. The NEW program began July 1, 1997. The NEW program plan guidance for Tribes that do not include their NEW programs in Public Law 102-477 projects, and the NEW program report document contain requirements for information needed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to evaluate and approve plans for funding and to monitor and measure program performance. Eligible Indian tribes and Alaska Native entities must submit program plans (generally once every three years) in order to receive NEW program grants. The plan describes how the grantee will administer and operate its NEW program. NEW grantees must submit program reports annually, providing information on activities and services provided, characteristics of NEW program clients, and program outcomes achieved. The NEW program final regulations (45 CFR Part 287- Attachment A) contain requirements for program plans and program reports. In these regulations, sections 287.70 through 287.110 apply to NEW plans, and sections 287.150 through 287.170 apply to NEW reports. These requirements are reflected in the program plan guidance documents and program report document. The version of these documents for which we now seek approval replaces previous versions. There are minor changes in both documents: (1) the Annual report includes some clarifications on instructions; (2) the Program Plan Guidance includes a change in the directions for submitting a NEW Plan. |
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.
