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.

Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

Abstract

This is a request for clearance for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to conduct a web survey of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and focus groups across three HBCUs selected for case studies. Both data collections will be conducted once as part of a mixed methods study on how HBCUs currently support the arts and arts education as preparatory to careers in the arts and in transdisciplinary fields. The study also will produce recommendations on how HBCUs can strengthen and mobilize their arts assets (i.e., programs and facilities) and partnerships. The web survey is planned for August to October of 2024 and the focus groups are planned for September to November of 2024.

Abstract

To meet the goals and objectives that demonstrate the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPAs) and the Administrations commitment to achieving environmental justice and embedding environmental justice into Agency programs, the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program provides about $600 million in 11 cooperative agreements funding to Grantmakers who will function as pass-through entities for the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Subgrants (2 CFR Parts 200 and 1500). Each Grantmaker will collaborate with EPA to design and build their own processes to receive and evaluate applications to fund the initial development of community-led environmental justice projects.Emergency Justfication:With this Information Collection Request (ICR), EPA seeks emergency clearance by October 31, 2024 for six Grantmakers to solicit applications for their first round of subgrants to be launched in October 2024. EPA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the time between the Grantmakers receipt of their funding awards and the launch of their subaward programs (3 months) does not allow sufficient time to obtain PRA clearance using the standard ICR process (which typically takes 6-9 months). Collection of the information requested under this emergency clearance (i.e., applications) is essential for the Grantmakers to have a mechanism for selecting and distributing subaward grants to fund environmental justice projects in underserved communities, thus fulfilling the central objective of the program. The six-month emergency clearance period will cover the first round of subaward applications that will be solicited by six Grantmakers in October 2024. Subsequent rounds of applications for these six Grantmakers will be authorized via a Standard ICR package for the Grantmaking Program that will be submitted for review via the standard ICR approval process.

Abstract

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Health Systems Bureau, Division of Transplantation (DoT) administers the Hospital Campaign for Organ Donation under the authority of Section 377A(a) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. As part of its responsibility to conduct public education and outreach to increase the number of registered organ donors, HRSA launched the Workplace Partnership for Life Hospital Campaign in 2011, with a challenge to hospitals nationwide to conduct donor education and donor registry enrollment events in their facilities and communities. The purpose of the ‘DoNation’ General Workplace Campaign is to encourage other non-medical U.S. companies to conduct activities to increase organ donor registration. These workplaces’ support of organ donation is vital to HRSA’s efforts to increase donor registrations, as expanding the program outside of medical settings will broaden the pool of potential registered organ, eye, and tissue donors. The overall purpose of collecting this information is to incentivize and reward company, workplace, and Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) participation in the campaign, and to enable HRSA to obtain outcome data. Because participating in this campaign is voluntary, it is essential for HRSA to implement a methodology to engage workplaces, make participation as easy as possible, and recognize workplaces for their efforts and accomplishments. HRSA, together with its donation community partners, developed the Activity Scorecard for the Hospital Campaign that provides suggested outreach activities for hospitals to implement and a way to gather points for achieving recognition. The ‘DoNation’ General Workplace Campaign Activity Scorecard will motivate workplaces in a similar fashion. Without the Activity Scorecard, HRSA would not be able to recognize workplaces for their extra efforts in planning donor registration activities and registering new organ, eye, and tissue donors.

Abstract

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act directs the National Indian Gaming Commission to monitor class II gaming conducted on Indian lands on a continuing basis in order to ensure that the Indian tribe is the primary beneficiary of the gaming operation and to protect such gaming as a means of generating tribal revenue, and to assure that gaming is conducted fairly and honestly by both the operator and players. The Commission has established minimum internal control standards to aid it in monitoring class II gaming on a continuing basis.
