What is an ICR?

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.

When are they submitted?

Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify 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.

Where to find an ICR?

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.

Obtaining Information to Understand and Challenges and Opportunities Encountered by Compounding Outsourcing Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

FDA seeks to engage in research to analyze and better understand perspectives on challenges and opportunities faced by outsourcing facilities as they attempt to supply safe, high-quality drug products needed by patients. The Agency currently lacks this information and cannot obtain it from other sources. An electronic survey will be administered to approximately 80 outsourcing facilities to gather information regarding the challenges an opportunities these entities face. The results of this research will be used by FDA to develop a comprehensive understanding of the outsourcing facility sector, its challenges, and opportunities for advancement. The information will be essential to help identify knowledge and information gaps, operational barriers, and views on interactions with FDA. The research results will inform FDA's future approaches to communication, education, training, and other engagement with outsourcing facilities to address challenges and support advancement of the industry in its ability to produce high-quality drug products that are safe for patients.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Work Requirements and Screening

Key Information

Abstract

Section 824 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) establishes a time limit for the receipt of SNAP benefits for able-bodied adults without dependents. In order to obtain and evaluate waivers for this provision, State agencies must submit sufficient supporting information so that the Secretary of Agriculture can make the required determination as to an area's unemployment rate or its insufficient number of jobs. The FRA gradually increases the upper age limit of the age-based exception three times over the next year and created three new exceptions from the time limit for individuals experiencing homelessness, veterans, and individuals aging out of foster care. The FRA also provided that these changes sunset on October 1, 2030. The Department proposed to update regulations to incorporate the final age increase, add the three new exceptions and definitions for each, and codify that the changes to exceptions sunset on October 1, 2030. The burden related to these provisions is covered in this information collection. In addition to the provisions of the FRA, the Department also proposed requirements for State agencies to screen for exemptions from the general work requirements and exceptions from the ABAWD time limit. The rule requires State agencies to screen individuals at initial application, recertification application, and when a change occurs during the certification period and prohibits State agencies from applying the time limit and assigning countable months unless they have screened the individual and determined they do not meet an exception from the time limit. Additionally, because individuals are not subject to the ABAWD time limit if they are exempt from the general work requirements, this rule also requires screening for exemptions from the general work requirements.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): Mobile Payment Pilots (MPPs)

Key Information

Abstract

FNS must evaluate the data and observations collected and determine whether it is feasible to implement this technology nation-wide, whether further study is required before doing so, or if implementation is not in the best interest of the program, and submit report to report to Congress with the basis of its findings. This information collection is necessary because Congress has specifically mandated that approval and subsequent evaluation of MPPs by State agencies must occur before FNS can fulfill its broader statutory obligations to allow mobile payment technology in SNAP nation-wide. Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) plans to authorize the use of mobile payment technology for accessing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits through smart phones, tablets, and other personal mobile devices in place of Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards. However, in order to implement this statutory requirement, FNS must approve up to 5 proposals from SNAP State agencies (State agencies) to conduct Mobile Payment Pilots (MPPs) that test the use of mobile payment technology in SNAP and meet several sets of requirements outlined in the Code, such as providing protections to participants that is similar to existing EBT technology, providing price parity between foods purchased with mobile payment technology and those purchased by other methods, ensuring adequate documentation and security measures to deter fraud, and other criteria as determined by FNS.

In addition, the authority for requiring this data collection for PDP enrollment is section 1860D-1 of the Act, and implementing regulations at §§ 423.30 and 423.32, a Part D-eligible individual who wishes to enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) may enroll during the enrollment periods specified in §423.38, by completing an enrollment form with the PDP, or enrolling through other mechanisms CMS determines are appropriate. We are proposing changes to the current, standard (“long”) model enrollment form which will yield a beneficiary-focused model form to simplify the enrollment process.

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Joint Quarterly Narrative Performance Report

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection includes data validation for the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), and a streamlined quarterly narrative report template to support the 1) reporting, 2) recordkeeping, and 3) program evaluation requirements for the following grant programs: National Dislocated Worker Grants (DWG), H-1B grant programs (started July 1, 2016 or later), National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP), Reentry Employment Opportunities (REO) youth and adult grant programs, SCSEP, and YouthBuild (YB). This information collection does not increase the burden on grantees. SCSEP data validation assesses the accuracy of data collected and reported to ETA on program activities and outcomes. The accuracy and reliability of program reports submitted by states and grantees using federal funds are fundamental elements of good public administration, and are necessary tools for maintaining and demonstrating system integrity. The data validation requirement for employment and training programs strengthens the workforce system by ensuring that accurate and reliable information on program activities and outcomes is available. The WIOA Joint Quarterly Narrative Performance Report provides a detailed account of program activities, accomplishments, and progress toward performance outcomes during the quarter. It also provides information on grant challenges and timeline progress, as well as the opportunity to share success stories. Grantees currently provide quarterly narrative reports through ETA-provided, Web-based management systems that already exist and are currently in use by the grantees, or by email to Federal Project Officers where such systems do not exist. Additionally, the use of standardized narrative reports supports Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) implementation and assists in identifying areas of technical assistance need consistently across the discretionary programs that are reporting on WIOA performance indicators. The use of a consistent narrative template furthers the goals of WIOA around system alignment and consistency of reporting, which helps to improve the quality of performance information that is received by ETA.

Medical Expenditure Panel Survey - Insurance Component (MEPS-IC)

Key Information

Abstract

In 2021 employer-sponsored health insurance was the source of coverage for 90.5 million current and former workers, plus many of their family members, and is a cornerstone of the U.S. health care system. The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey – Insurance Component (MEPS-IC) measures the extent, cost, and coverage of employer-sponsored health insurance on an annual basis. These statistics are produced at the National, State, and sub-State (metropolitan area) level for private industry. Statistics are also produced for State and Local governments. This research has the following goals: 1) to provide data for Federal policymakers evaluating the effects of National and State health care reforms. 2) to provide descriptive data on the current employer-sponsored health insurance system and data for modeling the differential impacts of proposed health policy initiatives. 3) to supply critical State and National estimates of health insurance spending for the National Health Accounts and Gross Domestic Product.

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information is required by the Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., which provides for the Federal registration of trademarks, service marks, collective trademarks and service marks, collective membership marks, and certification marks. The Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks (Madrid Protocol) is an international treaty that allows a trademark owner to seek registration in any of the participating countries by filing a single international application. The International Bureau (IB) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva, Switzerland, administers the international registration system. The Madrid Protocol Implementation Act of 2002 amended the Trademark Act to provide that: (1) The owner of a U.S. application or registration may seek protection of its mark in any of the participating countries by submitting a single international application through the USPTO and (2) the holder of an international registration may request an extension of protection of the international registration to the United States. The Madrid Protocol came into effect in the United States on November 2, 2003, and is implemented under 15 U.S.C. 1141 et seq. and 37 CFR parts 2 and 7. Individuals and businesses that use or intend to use such marks in commerce may file an application to register the marks with the USPTO. Both the register and the information provided in pending applications for registration can be accessed by the public in order to determine the availability of a mark and lessen the likelihood of initiating the use of a mark previously adopted by another.

The Medicare CAHPS is a national survey of health and prescription drug plans conducted at the contract level for MA, MA PD and Stand Alone PDP plans and at the state level for Medicare fee-for-service. Medicare CAHPS provides data to permit preparation of plan performance measures to assist Medicare beneficiaries in their selection of a health and/or prescription drug plan and help policymakers and others assist the Medicare program and Medicare plans design and monitor patient-centered quality improvement initiatives. The 2009 Call letter for MA and MA PD plans requires these plans to contract with private vendors from a list selected by CMS to conduct the 2011 Medicare CAHPS survey for their plan at the contract level and provide the collected data to CMS for analyses and preparation of CAHPS measures for use in consumer and plan reports and for quality improvement purposes for MA, MA PD, and Stand Alone PDP plans. CMS will continue to collect the Medicare FFS CAHPS data from surveys at the state and some sub-state levels. This revision to a currently approved collection is to add questions focusing on care coordination. The Medicare CAHPS survey has taken the OMB No. 0935-0732.

Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households Program (IHP)

Key Information

Abstract

The forms in this collection are used to obtain pertinent information to provide financial assistance, and if necessary, direct assistance to eligible individuals and households who, as a direct result of a disaster or emergency, have uninsured or under-insured, necessary or serious expenses they are unable to meet. This revision of a currently approved information collection will improve the applicant’s experience with the disaster assistance registration process by providing a simpler, more intuitive interface and limiting required responses to those needed based on their needs. These changes will rebuild trust in the Federal Government by promoting transparency of FEMA’s Disaster Assistance application process.
