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 Export Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank) pursuant to the Export Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 USC 635, et seq), facilitates the financing of exports of U.S. goods and services. By neutralizing the effect of export credit insurance and guarantees offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept, EXIM Bank enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and produce. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to12 USC Sec. 635 (a) (1), to determine eligibility of the applicant for EXIM Bank assistance. This form is used by an exporter (or broker acting on its behalf) in order to obtain approval for coverage of the repayment risk of export sales. The information received provides EXIM Bank staff with the information necessary to make a determination of the eligibility of the applicant and the creditworthiness of one of the applicant's foreign buyers for EXIM Bank assistance under its programs.

Abstract

The Federal Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Declaration Form, FEMA Form FF-USFA-FY-21-112 (formerly 516-0-1), is used to collect basic information on life-safety systems related directly to fire-safety in hotels, motels, and similar places of accommodation applying for inclusion on the NML. In completing the form, applicants—property owners, lodging managers, or their delegates—provide basic information including identification of the owner(s) of the property, the business’s Employer Identification Number (EIN), and provisions for life-safety from fire. The form requests specific responses from applicants as to the installation of smoke alarms in all guestrooms of properties submitted for listing on the NML. In addition, applicants must indicate if the lodging establishment has an automatic fire sprinkler system where the building is four stories or higher. Once approved for the NML, the database record for each lodging establishment is assigned a unique identification number (FEMA ID). The information is collected and distributed through an on-line, electronic database accessed through the USFA website. Information submitted voluntarily by lodging establishments is reviewed and if the criteria meet the requirements of Public Law 101-391, they are given a FEMA ID number and listed in the NML database. Federal travelers and the public seeking public accommodation with provisions for life-safety from fire access the NML through the on-line database and identify lodging establishments in the area to which they are traveling.

Abstract

FAA Form 8070-1, Service Difficulty Report (SDR), may be used by the air carrier industry and repair stations to submit mandated reporting of occurrences or detection of failures, malfunctions, or defects. As described in 14 CFR 121.703(e), these submitters may use another method that is suitable to their management system, provided that system is acceptable to the Administrator and contains mandated information. Service difficulty information may also be submitted in an electronic format. Repair stations certificated under Part 145 and Air taxi operators certificated under Part 135 are required to submit Malfunction or Defect Reports, or Service Difficulty Reports. FAA Form 8010-4, Malfunction and Defect Report may be used by the general aviation public to submit voluntary reporting of occurrences or detection of failure, malfunctions, or defects. General Aviation is the largest user of the Form 8010-4. Report information is collected, collated by the FAA, and used to determine service performance of aeronautical products. When defects are reported which are likely to exist on other products of the same or similar design, the FAA may disseminate safety information to a particular section of the aviation community. The FAA also may adopt new regulations or issue Airworthiness Directives (AD’s) to address a specific problem. AD’s are mandatory repair or modifications essential for the prevention of accidents The regulations enhance air carrier safety by collecting additional and timelier data pertinent to critical aircraft components. This data identifies mechanical failures, malfunctions, and defects that may be a hazard to the operation of an aircraft. The FAA uses this data to identify trends that may facilitate the early detection of airworthiness problems. Reports are submitted on occasion.

Abstract

All entities wishing to obtain a license to conduct commercial space launch activities are mandated to report information to this collection. The information collected is used by AST to determine and verify the ability and competency of a launch license applicant to conduct a commercial space launch operation in a safe and efficient manner. Information is collected before and after the issuance of either a launch-specific license or a launch operator license. An applicant's license proposal is assessed in terms of significant policy issues affecting the national security, foreign policy interests, or international obligations of the United States. Information collected allows AST to make a preliminary assessment of a launch proposal prior to beginning general licensing application procedures. After favorable review by AST of an applicant’s proposal in terms of policy implications, the applicant must demonstrate that it can safely launch its vehicle with payload. To achieve this end, AST’s safety evaluation process requires an applicant to submit information, including a safety program plan, a launch safety design and operations document, and an accident investigation plan. Part 450 is replacing part 417 for license applications. However, part 417 will continue to be used by operators that had a license at the time part 450 was published. Therefore, no new licenses will be approved under part 417 but renewals and modifications are possible until 2025 under part 417. Further, in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policies Act, 42 U.S.C. § 4321, et. seq., (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA, 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508, and the DOT's Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts, (that is, DOT Order 5610.1C), applicants are required to submit environmental information to AST. This includes information concerning proposed new launch sites and launch vehicles not currently described in the environmental impact statements, as well as payloads that may have significant environmental impacts in the event of a launch accident. A licensee must satisfy pre-launch reporting requirements by providing launch specific information, including flight path data, payload design criteria, and mission specific launch waivers from federal sites or launch sites, not later than 60 days prior to the scheduled launch date. Each licensee is also required to register the name and mission of the payload with AST in accordance with Article IV of the 1975 Convention on Registration of Objects Launched Into Outer Space Treaty.

Abstract

Commercial or non-federal entities who desire to obtain a reusable launch vehicle (RLV) mission license or a reentry license are mandated to report to this information collection. The information to be collected includes data required for performing a safety review, which includes a technical assessment to determine if the applicant launches or reenters an RLV or a reentry vehicle to a designated site without jeopardizing public health and safety and the safety of property. This information collection requirement is intended for incorporating acquired data into the license, which then becomes binding on the launch and/or reentry operator. Under the policy review and approval process, an applicant is required to submit information that enables FAA/AST to summarize the application requirements identifying foreign ownership of the vehicle. FAA/AST determines, before issuing a license, if issuance of an RLV mission license would jeopardize the foreign policy or national security interests of the U.S. In accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policies Act, 42 U.S.C. § 4321, et. seq., (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA, 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508, and the DOT's Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts, DOT Order 5610.1C, applicants are required to submit environmental information concerning proposed RLVs and reentry vehicles that are not currently described in the environmental impact statements, as well as payloads that may have significant environmental impacts in the event of a launch accident.

Abstract

A valid Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp (Duck Stamp) is an annual licensing requirement for all migratory bird hunters. Artwork for the stamp is chosen by a panel of judges during an annual art contest. The Duck Stamp and Junior Duck Stamp contests encourage the public to engage in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s conservation mission. In support of directives in SO 3347, the Duck Stamp and Junior Duck Stamp programs actively engage Americans of all ages to better understand the biological requirements and conservation management of waterfowl and wetlands. Contestants portray their understanding of the anatomy and ecology of waterfowl as well as the importance of wildlife conservation and the waterfowl hunting heritage in order to successfully compete. Contest entry forms are necessary to enable the Service to track contestants’ artwork during the contest judging process, verify age and unique artwork requirements, and return artwork.

Abstract

Under its statutory and delegated authorities, TTB is responsible for the collection of the Federal excise taxes imposed on distilled spirits, wine, beer, tobacco products, and cigarette papers and tubes by chapters 51 and 52 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). As provided at 26 U.S.C. 5061(a) and 26 U.S.C. 5703(b), the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) requires that those taxes be collected on the basis of a return, filed for the periods, at the times, and containing the information the Secretary of the Treasury requires by regulation. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7652(a) also provides that taxes imposed by the IRC on domestic articles, including those on alcohol and tobacco products, apply at the same rates to similar products manufactured in Puerto Rico and brought into the United States, to be paid and collected under such regulations as the Secretary shall issue. In addition, section 7652(a) requires the majority of such taxes to be transferred into the treasury of Puerto Rico. Issued under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 26 (for distilled spirits, wine, and beer) and part 41 (for tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes), prescribe the use of TTB F 5000.25, Excise Tax Return – Alcohol and Tobacco (Puerto Rico) for the collection of the excise taxes imposed by 26 U.S.C. 7652(a).

Abstract

The purpose of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program, as authorized under Title IV, Part B, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) (20 U.S.C. 7171-7176) is to create community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities for children, particularly students who attend high poverty and low-performing schools, to meet State and local student standards in core academic subjects, to offer students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs, and to offer literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children. Present in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and the Bureau of Indian Education, academic enrichment and youth development programs are designed to enhance participants’ well-being and academic success. The Department of Education (ED) is requesting authorization for a revision to collect data for 21st CCLC programs. The core purpose is to collect information on the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) performance indicators associated with the 21st CCLC program to report to Congress annually on the implementation and progress of 21st CCLC projects. All elements collected serve to meet the reporting requirements of the GPRAs. These metrics delivered in the form of an Annual Performance Report (APR) are the primary way the federal government determines the success and progress of the 21st CCLC program based on the statutory requirements.

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.

Column Name

Categories Include

ICRReferenceNumber

The ICR Reference Number uniquely identifies each ICR review. This number is assigned by the OIRA system when the ICR is created.

ICR Reference Numbers are formatted YYYYMM-NNNN-XXX where YYYYMM is the month of origin, NNNN is the agency/subagency code, and XXX is a 3 digit sequential number assigned per creation per month.

N/A

OMBControl

OIRA assigns an OMB Control Number to an Information Collection Request (ICR) upon its first arrival. The same OMB Control Number is used for each review of the ICR.

OMB Control Numbers are formatted NNNN-XXXX, where the NNNN is the agency/subagency code, and the XXXX is a sequential number uniquely identifying the Collection within the agency/subagency’s ICRs.
