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.

An Observer Program for At-Sea Processing Vessels in the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing StatutesPub.L. 94 - 265 303 (View Law) AbstractThis request is for extension of the current collection for the Monitoring Programs for Vessels in the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery. In 2011, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) mandated observer requirements for the West Coast groundfish trawl catch shares program. For all fishery sectors, observers must be obtained through third-party observer provider companies operating under permits issued by NMFS. The regulations at §§ 660.140 (h), 660.150 (j), and 660.160 (g), specify observer coverage requirements for trawl vessels and define the responsibilities for observer providers, including reporting requirements. Regulations at §660.140 (i) specify requirements for catch monitor coverage for first receivers. Data collected by observers are used by NMFS to estimate total landed catch and discards, monitor the attainment of annual groundfish allocations, estimate catch rates of prohibited species, and as a component in stock assessments. These data are necessary to comply with the Magnuson-Stevens Act requirements to prevent overfishing. In addition, observer data is used to assess fishing related mortality of protected and endangered species. |

Key Information
Federal Register Notices
AbstractThe International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) §§ 122.4 and 129.8 require registrants to notify the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls of the Department of State in the event of a change in registration information, in the event a foreign person or entity acquires a registered entity, or if the registrant is a party to a merger, acquisition, or divestiture (MAD) of an entity producing or marketing ITAR-controlled items. Based on certain conditions enunciated in the ITAR, respondents must notify DDTC of these changes at differing intervals – no less than 60 days prior to the event and/or within 5 days of its culmination. This information is necessary for DDTC to ensure registration records are accurate and to determine whether the transaction is in compliance with the regulations (e.g. with respect to ITAR § 126.1); assess the steps that need to be taken with respect to existing authorizations (e.g. transfers of licenses); and to evaluate the implications for US national security and foreign policy. This information collection is estimated to take an average of 2 hours to execute, and DDTC expects to receive approximately 1,700 responses per year; therefore, the total burden for this collection will be 3,400 hours per year. |

Authorizing StatutesPub.L. 94 - 265 303 (View Law) AbstractThe National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS), Alaska Region, is requesting extension of a currently approved information collection for the applications for the Federal Fisheries Permit (FFP), the Federal Processor Permit (FPP), and the Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP). NMFS requires an FFP or FPP for participation in the groundfish fisheries of the exclusive economic zone off Alaska. NMFS issues an EFP to allow groundfish fishing activities that would otherwise be prohibited under regulations for groundfish fishing. EFPs are issued to support projects that could benefit the groundfish fisheries and the environment and result in gathering information not otherwise available through research or commercial fishing operations. The information requested on the applications is used for fisheries management and regulatory compliance by NMFS Sustainable Fisheries Division, NMFS Restricted Access Management Program, NMFS Observer Program, NOAA Office of Law Enforcement, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council. Requiring a permit for marine resource users is one of the regulatory steps taken to carry out conservation and management objectives. Permit issuance is essential in fishery resources management for identification of the participants and expected activity levels and for regulatory compliance. |

Prevention and Public Health Funds Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Program Information Collection
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing StatutesAbstractThe Administration on Aging (AoA), part of the Administration for Community Living (ACL), these data collection tools to monitor grantees receiving “Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Programs” cooperative agreements.” Grantee agencies through this program represent a variety of organization types, including state agencies, universities, and nonprofit organizations. Grantees are tasked with two primary goals: (1) significantly increase the number of older adults who participate in evidence-based falls prevention programs; and (2) develop a sustainable infrastructure for these proven interventions. ACL Falls Prevention grantees currently collect information at both the workshop and participant level. Specific to the workshop, information on workshop type, site type, location, start/end date, etc. is collected. At the participant level, de-identified demographic and health status information is collected prior to workshop participation. A sample of participants also completes a Post Program Survey to assess whether the program is achieving its intended outcomes, i.e., reducing falls risk factors and/or incidence. AoA funds a National Falls Prevention Resource Center(the “Center”) to provide technical assistance (TA) to ACL grantees as well as the broader network of organizations implementing evidence-based falls prevention programs. The Center developed a database, which grantees and other program sites use to provide data on their workshops. This system allows AoA regular monitoring of grantee performance status, including data analysis, maps, comparative charts, and identification of high- and low-performing grantees in order to identify and target TA needs. AoA uses the information from the PPHF Falls Prevention data collection tools to: 1) Comply with reporting requirements mandated by the authorizing statutes; 2) Collect data for performance measures used in the justification of the budget to Congress and by program, state, and national decision makers; 3) Effectively manage the Falls Prevention program at the federal, state, and local levels; 4) Identify program implementation issues and pinpoint areas for technical assistance activities; 5) Identify best practices in program implementation and building sustainable program delivery systems as well as develop resources to enable current and future grantees to learn from and replicate these practices; and 6) Provide information for reports to Congress, other governmental agencies, stakeholders, and to the public about PPHF Falls Prevention grantee progress. |

Authorizing StatutesPub.L. 104 - 208 642 (View Law) Pub.L. 99 - 603 121 (View Law) AbstractIn the verification process, a participating agency validates an applicant's immigration status by inputting identifying information into the Verification Information System (VIS), which executes immigration status queries against a range of data sources. If VIS returns an immigration status and the benefit-issuing agency does not find a material discrepancy with the response and the documents provided by the applicant, the verification process is complete. Then, the agency may use that immigration status information in determining whether or not to issue the benefit. In some cases, agencies that do not access the automated verification system may query USCIS by filing Form G-845. Although the Form G-845 does not require it, if needed certain agencies may also file the Form G-845 Supplement with the Form G-845, along with copies of immigration documents to receive additional information necessary to make their benefit determinations. These forms were developed to facilitate communication between all benefit-granting agencies and USCIS to ensure that basic information required to assess status verification requests is provided. USCIS is making minor revisions to the Form G-845 and is streamlining the Form G-845 Supplement with additional immigration statuses that are commonly requested by agencies in order to make their benefit determinations. |

Authorizing Statutes33 USC 1121 - 1131 (View Law) AbstractThis is a request for revision and extension of a currently approved information collection. Applications are required for the designation of a public or private institution of higher education, institute, laboratory, or State or local agency as a Sea Grant college or Sea Grant institution. Applications are also required in order to be awarded a Sea Grant Fellowship, including the Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowships. Grant monies are available for funding activities that help attain the objectives of the Sea Grant Program. In addition to the SF-424 and other standard grant application requirements, up to three additional forms are required with a grant application. These are the 90-1 Sea Grant Control Form, used to identify the organizations and personnel who would be involved in the grant; the 90-2 Project Summary Form, which collects summary data on projects; and the 90-4 Sea Grant Budget Form, which provides more budget detail than the SF-424A. This request is for extension of the collection and a minor revision of the 90-2 Project Summary Form. The NOAA Form 90–2 is currently collected using an Excel spreadsheet (100% of use cases). The NSGO intends to migrate the Excel spreadsheet to an online webform that is hosted on Sea Grant’s Planning, Implementation and Evaluation Resource (PIER) database. The online webform would provide an additional and alternative method of information collection, but not eliminate the option for an Excel-based collection. During implementation (testing Q2/3-FY21; rollout Q4-FY21), the webform will likely require cosmetic modifications on the form structure, but no additional data fields will be added. Such modifications will be driven by software requirements and improvements to information management and the user interface. This revision would enable synchronization of existing PIER data, so that time of user entry and data quality control is minimized. Both the excel and web versions of the form have slightly updated data fields, however, these updates do not alter the burden. Specifically, “Administrative Priorities” has been added to better track a subset of previous “Classifications”, a “Regional” selection has been added, instead of appearing in a multi-select field (“Multiple Program”), and “Readiness Level” has been eliminated, as the NSGO is better suited to identify this information rather than an applicant. The webform holds one other noticeable difference that cannot be easily replicated on an excel spreadsheet. This is resolution of Partner/Affiliation organizations, which replicates the analog of “Organization”, “Department”, and “Division” that is available for collection in the RESEARCH & RELATED Senior/Key Person Profile Form (OMB 4040-0001). This is being applied for data quality assurance and control and also enables an improved look-up functionality with existing database records. |
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.
