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.

Generic Clearance for Improving GSA's Customer Experience (OMB Circular A-11, Section 280 Implementation)
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
AbstractThe Agency will collect, analyze, and interpret information gathered through this generic clearance to identify services’ accessibility, navigation, and use by customers, and make improvements in service delivery based on customer insights gathered through developing an understanding of the user experience interacting with Government. For the purposes of this request, "customers" are individuals, businesses, and organizations that interact with a Federal Government agency or program, either directly or via a Federal contractor. "Service delivery" or "services" refers to the multitude of diverse interactions between a customer and Federal agency such as applying for a benefit or loan, receiving a service such as healthcare or small business counseling, requesting a document such as a passport or social security card, complying with a rule or regulation such as filing taxes or declaring goods, utilizing resources such as a park or historical site, or seeking information such as public health or consumer protection notices. Under this request, three types of activities will be conducted to generate customer insights: Customer Research (E.g., User Persona and Journey Map Development), Customer Feedback (Satisfaction Survey), and User Testing of Services and Digital Products. |

Authorizing Statutes20 USC 7281 (View Law) AbstractThe Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) in the US Department of Education (ED) requests clearance for a new information collection for the discretionary grant application for the Project Prevent program. The Project Prevent grant program provides grants to local educational agencies (LEAs) to increase their capacity to help schools in communities with pervasive violence to better address the needs of affected students and to break the cycle of violence in those communities. This program is authorized under section 4631(a)(1)(B) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) (20 U.S.C. 7281). The first Project Prevent grant competition was held in 2019 and was exempt from rulemaking under Section 437(d)(1) of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA). At this time, the Department is proposing priorities, requirements, and a definition under the Project Prevent grant program. The proposed requirements contain information collection requirements. |

Manufacturer Identification -- 49 CFR Part 566
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes49 USC 30118 (View Law) AbstractThis is to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for reinstatement with modification of a previously approved information collection. The collection is mandatory for all domestic and foreign manufacturers, including importers, of motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment subject to the Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS), except for manufacturers of tires. Respondents are required to submit identifying information to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) within 30 days of beginning manufacturing of motor vehicles or items of motor vehicle equipment subject to the FMVSS or 30 days prior to importing motor vehicles or items of motor vehicle equipment. The identifying information consists of the manufacturer’s name, address, and the type and a description of the vehicles or equipment they manufacture. The information is only submitted once unless the information in the original submission needs to be updated. NHTSA uses this information to contact manufacturers and also makes this information available to the general public on a NHTSA website. The purpose of this information is to collect identification information to ensure that NHTSA is able to identify manufacturers and their products and locate the manufacturer if a safety-related defect or noncompliance is suspected or found to exist in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment. This ensures that NHTSA is able to administer and enforce recall of vehicles that do not comply with the FMVSS or contain safety-related defects. NHTSA submitted a request to modify this information collection to OMB on February 12, 2020, in connection with a notice of proposed rulemaking. NHTSA is now resubmitting the request upon the publication of the final rule. The revision of this information collection includes the addition of a new type of regulated motor vehicle. NHTSA estimates that in each of the next three years, ten new replica manufacturers will submit identification information under part 566. This is a reinstatement and, therefore, increases total burden by 352 hours and $0. This is an increase from 131 to 352 hours from when NHTSA last sought approval and is due to an increase in the number of submissions NHTSA expects to receive annually. Additionally, costs have decreased from $3,3930 to $0 because NHTSA is no longer incorrectly including labor costs associated with the burden hours in response to question 13. |

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.
