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.

Abstract

The Emergency Mass Notification System (EMNS) is an Air Force enterprise-wide system that employs commercial software to send notices to the AF population through desktop, mobile application, telephone, text messaging alerts, and Giant Voice systems at Main Operating Bases (MOB). This system provides individuals with near-real time notifications sent directly from the AF/MAJCOM/Installation command posts. This single AF enterprise solution will provide lifesaving and mission protective measures within the AF. The system shall have the capability of delivering reliable and secure emergency threat notifications to all personnel at all AF locations on a 24 hour/7 day a week basis. EMNS is designated as a National Security System (NSS). EMNS must be maintained as a high integrity, high availability capability vital to operational readiness. The absence of such a system could result in immediate and sustained loss of mission effectiveness.

Abstract

Section 114 of the FACT Act amended section 615 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to require the Agencies (OCC, FRB, FDIC, NCUA, and FTC) to issue jointly: • Guidelines for financial institutions and creditors regarding identity theft with respect to their account holders and customers (in developing the guidelines, the Agencies are required to identify patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity that indicate the possible existence of identity theft. The guidelines must be updated as often as necessary and cannot be inconsistent with the policies and procedures required under section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, 31 U.S.C. 5318(l).); • Regulations that require each financial institution and each creditor to establish reasonable policies and procedures for implementing the guidelines to identify possible risks to account holders or customers or to the safety and soundness of the institution or creditor; and • Regulations generally requiring credit and debit card issuers to assess the validity of change of address requests under certain circumstances. Section 315 of the FACT Act amended section 605 of the FCRA to require the Agencies to issue regulations providing guidance regarding reasonable policies and procedures that a user of consumer reports must employ when a user receives a notice of address discrepancy from a consumer reporting agency (CRA). These regulations were required to describe reasonable policies and procedures for users of consumer reports to: • Enable a user to form a reasonable belief that it knows the identity of the person for whom it has obtained a consumer report; and • Reconcile the address of the consumer with the CRA, if the user establishes a continuing relationship with the consumer and regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnishes information to the CRA.

Abstract

This request is for extension and revision of this information collection to add a form (Schedule of Tax Basis) to the Certificate Family of Forms. NMFS is proposing to add the Schedule of Tax Basis form, which is required upon completion of a Schedule B project in order to determine the remaining tax basis of the qualified vessel. This request is for a revision and extension of a currently approved information collection. The Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended by Public Law 91–469 and Public Law 99–514, provides for the administration of a Capital Construction Fund (CCF) Program by NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The law requires that applicants enter into formal Agreements with the Secretary of Commerce. The Agreement allows the fishermen to defer taxable income from operation of their fishing vessels if the money is placed into an account to fund the construction, reconstruction, or replacement of a fishing vessel. The program requirements are detailed at 50 CFR part 259. The Agreement is a contract between the Secretary of Commerce and the Agreement holder specifying the obligations of each party. Schedule A specifies the vessel which earned the income which is eligible for deposit in to a CCF account. Schedule B specifies the construction, acquisition, or reconstruction objectives planned under the Agreement. The Certificate of Construction/Reconstruction certifies the total cost at completion of Schedule B objectives.

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is a request for reinstatement without modification of the information collection for NHTSA’s motorcycling labeling requirements. Motorcycle helmets are devices used for protecting motorcyclists from head injury in motor vehicle crashes. Each motorcycle helmet manufacturer is required to label every helmet it produces to indicate compliance with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 218, “Motorcycle helmets.” Manufacturers are also required to label every helmet to provide helmet owners with important safety information including the manufacturer’s name, discrete size of the helmet, month and year of manufacture, and specific instructions. Failure to provide (collect) this information would put motorcyclists at risk because the helmet might not be labeled with the information needed to properly fit the purchaser and with the safety warnings and information specified in the standard. State and local law enforcement agencies could also find it more difficult to enforce State laws requiring the use of a helmet certified to FMVSS No. 218, if helmets were not required to bear a certification label. The labeling requirement in the standard also supports the Department of Transportation’s strategic goal in safety, by ensuring that motorcycle helmets are manufactured and certified to the performance requirements of the standard. NHTSA estimates the total burden of this collection is 9,100 hours and $1,137,500.

Abstract

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) requests clearance to conduct the 2018 Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies (CSLLEA). Historically, the CSLLEA generates an enumeration of all publicly funded state, county, local and tribal law enforcement agencies operating in the United States and provides complete personnel counts for the approximately 20,000 law enforcement agencies operating nationally. For the purposes of the CSLLEA, a “law enforcement agency” is a publicly funded government entity responsible for enforcing laws, maintaining public order, and promoting public safety. To be within scope of the CSLLEA, a law enforcement agency must employ the equivalent of at least one full-time sworn officer with general arrest powers. BJS has conducted the CSLLEA periodically since 1986, making the 2022 administration the eighth wave of data in the statistical series.

Abstract

In October 2020, the Institute for Community Inclusion (ICI), UMass Boston received a five-year cooperative agreement from the Office of Postsecondary Education to serve as the National Coordinating Center (NCC) for colleges and universities implementing inclusive higher education programs for students with intellectual disabilities, including 22 newly-funded model demonstration projects aimed at creating inclusive comprehensive transition and postsecondary programs for students with intellectual disabilities known as Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSIDs). To reduce respondent burden, the NCC has streamlined and simplified the previously approved evaluation system for the TPSID programs. The NCC will enhance the collection and analyses of longitudinal follow-up data from the new 22 TPSID model programs via an already developed and previously OMB approved evaluation system for the TPSID programs. The revised data collection system is part of an evaluation effort. The system will collect program data at the institutions from TPSID program staff via an online, secure data management system.

Abstract

Form 18 is used for the registration of securities of any foreign government or political subdivision to list securities on a U.S. Exchange.

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. Column descriptions are available below the table.
