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.

Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program: Applications for Subawards November Launch
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
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. |

Substances Generally Recognized as Safe: Best Practices for Convening a GRAS Panel
Key Information
Abstract
FDA seeks OMB approval for the final guidance document entitled, “Best Practices for Convening a Generally Recognized as Safe Panel,” which, once finalized, would assist persons who choose to convene a panel of experts in support of a conclusion that the use of a substance in food is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). To support a GRAS conclusion, a proponent may convene a panel of qualified experts to provide evidence that generally available safety data and information about the intended use of the substance in food are generally accepted among experts, which is one of the criteria for eligibility for GRAS status. The information collection recommendations (establishment of a written GRAS panel policy, solicitation of information from prospective GRAS panel members about potential conflicts of interest and other sources of bias, and documentation of the application of the GRAS panel policy to each GRAS panel member) would help the respondent to identify GRAS panel members who have appropriate and balanced expertise and reduce the risk that bias (or the appearance of bias) will affect the credibility of the GRAS panel’s output. |

Interim Procedures for Considering Requests under the Commercial Availability Provision of the United States-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement
Key Information
Abstract
The United States and Panama negotiated the U.S.-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement (”the Agreement”), which was implemented into U.S. law by the United States-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement Implementation Act (“the Act”) [Public Law 112-43]. The Agreement entered into force on October 31, 2012. Under the provisions of the Act, textile and apparel goods must contain fibers, yarns, and fabrics produced in Panama or the United States to receive duty-free tariff treatment. The Agreement also provides for the establishment of a list of specific fibers, yarns, and fabrics that are not available in commercial quantities in a timely manner from producers in the United States or Panama. Articles containing these commercially unavailable fibers, yarns, and fabrics are entitled to duty-free or preferential duty treatment despite containing inputs not produced in the United States or Panama. The list of commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns, and fibers may be changed pursuant to the commercial availability provision of the Agreement and the Act. Under Section 203(o) of the Act (“the commercial availability provision”), interested entities from Panama or the United States have the right to request that a specific fiber, yarn, or fabric be added to, or removed from, the list of commercially unavailable fibers, yarns, and fabrics. Section 203(o) of the Act requires that the President establish procedures for parties to follow when exercising the right to make these requests. The President delegated the responsibility for publishing the procedures and administering commercial availability requests to the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (“CITA”), which issues procedures and acts on requests through the Office of Textiles and Apparel (“OTEXA”). In accordance with the commercial availability provision, CITA has implemented procedures to collect certain information about the technical specifications of certain fibers, yarns, or fabrics and the production capabilities of U.S. textile suppliers to determine whether certain fibers, yarns, or fabrics are available in commercial quantities in a timely manner in the United States. The intent of these procedures is to foster trade in U.S. and Panamanian textile and apparel articles by allowing non-originating fibers, yarns, and fabrics to be placed on or removed from a list of items not available in commercial quantities, in a timely manner, and in a manner that is consistent with normal business practice. To that end, these procedures are intended to facilitate the timely transmission of requests for commercial availability determinations and offers to supply the products that are the subject of the requests; have the market indicate the availability of the supply of the subject products; make available promptly, to interested entities and parties, information received regarding the requests for products and offers to supply; ensure wide participation by interested entities and parties; provide careful scrutiny of information provided to substantiate order requests and responses of offers to supply; and provide timely public dissemination of information used by CITA in making commercial availability determinations. CITA must collect certain information about fabric, yarn, or fiber technical specifications and the production capabilities of Panamanian and U.S. textile producers to determine whether certain fabrics, yarns, or fibers are available in commercial quantities in a timely manner in the United States or Panama, subject to Section 203(o) of the Act. |

HBCU Research Study
Key Information
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. |

510(k) Third-Party Review Program
Key Information
Abstract
This ICR collects information from persons who wish to be accredited by the Agency to review certain premarket notifications. Participation in this third-party review program by accredited persons is entirely voluntary. A third party wishing to participate will submit a request for accreditation to FDA. Accredited third-party reviewers have the ability to review a manufacturer's premarket notification for selected medical devices. After reviewing a submission, the reviewer will forward a copy of the submission, along with the reviewer's documented review and recommendation to FDA. Third-party reviewers also maintain records of their reviews and a copy of the submission. The purpose of the program is: (1) to provide manufacturers of eligible devices with an alternative review process that could yield more rapid marketing clearance decisions and (2) enable FDA to target its scientific review resources at higher-risk devices while maintaining confidence in the review by third parties of low-to-moderate risk devices. |
