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

This data collection will allow the CDC to determine the training and technical assistance (TA) needs of health departments and community-based organizations funded by CDC to conduct HIV prevention and surveillance activities. The intention of the data collection is to provide the training and TA in a timely and efficient manner by having them submit their needs all at once rather than individually for each training and TA need.

Abstract

The Quarterly Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad—Transactions of U.S. Reporter with Foreign Affiliate (Form BE-577) obtains quarterly data on transactions and positions between U.S.-owned foreign business enterprises and their U.S. parents. The data are essential for the preparation of the U.S. international transactions accounts, the national income and product accounts, the input-output accounts, and the international investment position of the United States. The data are needed to measure the size and economic significance of direct investment abroad, measure changes in such investment, and assess its impact on the U.S. and foreign economies. The survey is authorized by the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act.

Abstract

the Drug Price Negotiation Program established by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a qualifying single source drug that meets the requirements for the exception for small biotech drugs (“Small Biotech Exception”) in section 1192(d)(2) of the Social Security Act (the Act) will be excluded from the definition of “negotiation-eligible drug” with respect to initial price applicability years 2026, 2027, and 2028. Among other requirements for this exception, the statute requires that CMS consider, for Part D drugs, total 2021 Medicare expenditures for the drug under Part D; total expenditures for all covered Part D drugs for such year; and total expenditures under Part D for all covered Part D drugs for which the manufacturer has an agreement under section 1860D-14A during 2021. For the purpose of this information collection request, “controlled group” means all corporations or partnerships, proprietorships and other entities treated as a single employer under 26 U.S. Code section 52(a) or (b). In order to accurately identify, at the request of a manufacturer, whether a given covered Part D drug qualifies for the Small Biotech Exception in accordance with section 1192(d)(2) of the Act, CMS needs to collect information to identify the entity that had a Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program Agreement under section 1860D-14A for the drug as of December 31, 2021,including all other entities that, as of December 31, 2021, were treated as a single employer with that entity under subsection (a) or (b) of section 52 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Abstract

Patent applications that contain nucleotide and/or amino acid sequence disclosures must include a copy of the sequence listing in accordance with the requirements in 37 CFR 1.821-1.825. Applicants submit copies of sequence listings for both U.S. and international biotechnology patent applications. The USPTO uses the sequence listings during the examination process to determine the patentability of the associated patent application. The USPTO also uses the sequence listings to support publication of patent applications and issued patents. Sequence listings are searchable after publication. This information collection covers the submission of the sequence listing information itself. Information pertaining to the filing of the initial U.S. patent application is collected under OMB Control Number 0651-0032, and information pertaining to the filing of the initial international application is collected under OMB Control Number 0651-0021. In particular, this information collection accounts for sequence listings submitted on paper, compact disc (CD), or through EFS-Web, the USPTO’s online filing system. Sequence listings may be submitted via EFS-Web as an ASCII text file or in Portable Document Format (PDF). For U.S. applications, § 1.821(c) permits all modes of submission: paper, CD, or EFS-Web. Sequence listings for international applications may be submitted on paper or through EFS-Web only, though sequence listings that are too large to be filed electronically though EFS-Web may be submitted on CD. This information collection also accounts for the requirement under § 1.821(e) that a copy of the sequence listing required by § 1.821(c) be submitted in computer readable form (CRF) in accordance with the requirements of § 1.824. Under §§ 1.821(e)–(f), applicants who submit their sequence listings on paper, CD, or as a PDF via EFS-Web must submit a copy of the sequence listing in CRF with a statement indicating that the CRF copy of the sequence listing is identical to the paper, CD, or PDF copy provided under § 1.821(c). Applicants may submit the CRF copy of the sequence listing to the USPTO on CD or other acceptable media as provided in § 1.824. If a new application is filed via EFS-Web with an ASCII text file sequence listing that complies with the requirements of §§ 1.824(a)(2)–(6) and (b), and applicant has not filed a sequence listing on paper, CD or as a PDF file, the text file will serve as both the copy required by § 1.821(c) and the CRF required by § 1.821(e). Moreover, the associated statement of identity would not be required. This information collection also covers the mechanism in § 1.821(e) where an applicant may request, in limited circumstances, a transfer of the CRF from the application already on file to the new application, if the CRF sequence listing in a new application is identical to the CRF sequence listing of another application that the applicant already has on file at the USPTO. In such a case, the applicant may submit a letter identifying the application and CRF sequence listing that is already on file and stating that the sequence listing submitted in the new application is identical to the CRF copy already filed with the previous application. The USPTO provides a form, Request for Transfer of a Computer Readable Form Under 37 CFR 1.821(e) (PTO/SB/93), in order to assist customers in submitting this statement.
