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.

Use Agreement (DUA) Limited Data Set (LDS) Forms Research Identifiable Files (FIF) Forms (CMS-R-235)

Key Information

Abstract

CMS is permitted to disclose data files for approved research purposes in compliance with 45 45 CFR 164.512(i). Researchers requesting research identifiable files (RIF) must, as part of the request process, complete a research request packet that provides CMS with information pertaining to the research study, including describing how the research results/findings will be disseminated, as well as the data files being requested. Should CMS approve the research request, the data requestor enters into a Data Use Agreement (DUA). This data collection is necessary to ensure that disclosures of data for research purposes comply with federal laws and regulations as well as CMS policy. Researchers requesting RIF files also must complete a Data Management Plan Self-Attestation Questionnaire (DMP SAQ). A DMP SAQ is required each time a DUA is established. Both the DUA and the DMP SAQ forms are valid for one year from the date of approval and are renewable at expiration. If the environment described in a DMP SAQ is the same for multiple DUAs from a single organization, the same DMP SAQ can be used across the DUAs, provided it has not expired. The DMP SAQ is a technical, evidence basedevidence-based questionnaire that DUA users must complete as part of the data request packet. The DMP SAQ will enable CMS to evaluate researcher data systems to ensure that CMS data are adequately secured and appropriately protected, as per the Privacy Act and the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The DMP SAQ also allows CMS to measure compliance through the implementation of security and privacy controls as outlined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53 and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Information Security and Acceptable Risk Safeguards (ARS). The second component of the DMP SAQ is to provide ongoing oversight. All organizations will be subject to routine audits of the environments used to store and process CMS data, as described in their organizational-level DMP SAQ.

Key Information

Abstract

On August 21, 2024, the Federal Communications Commission (“Commission” or “FCC”) adopted a Report and Order, Spectrum Rules and Policies for the Operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems, FCC 24-91, in WT Docket No. 22-323 (Report and Order), establishing rules for Non-networked Access (NNA) in the Uncrewed Aircraft System Services (UASS), to enable uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operators to obtain direct frequency assignments in a portion of the 5030-5091 MHz band for protected wireless communications between UAS operators on the ground and uncrewed aircraft (UA) for flight control and telemetry. Under the new rules, incorporated in a new rule part, part 88, operators' use of the spectrum designated for NNA (the 5040-5060 MHz portion of the 5030-5091 MHz band) will be authorized and coordinated by one or more dynamic frequency management systems (DFMSs). UAS operators must register with a Commission-approved DFMS, and then may request short-term frequency assignments in the NNA spectrum from the DFMS. UAS operators may transmit in the NNA spectrum only using rule-compliant NNA stations and only pursuant to and consistent with the terms of a frequency assignment from a DFMS.

Grantee Reporting Requirements for the Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) Program

Key Information

Abstract

The NSF Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) program provides significant support ($0.5-0.6 million / year) for research, education, and infrastructure with a renewable term of 5 years, for a total investment of $2.5-3.0M. Because of the duration and size of these awards, it is necessary for the NSF to ensure that its substantial investment is spent appropriately, that each of the PREMs meets the goals stated in its strategic plan, and that each PREM's activities satisfy the goals and objectives of the PREM program. The PREM program currently funds a total of 32 active awards, For effective oversight of these substantial investments, the NSF requires that each currently funded PREM submit an annual progress report that describes all its activities. Each PREM is expected to submit a final report at the end of the award. Data contained in these reports are also submitted to a website managed by a contractor for NSF. Electronic submission will facilitate program-wide data analysis.

Key Information

Abstract

The Rural Health Network Development (RHND) program is authorized under section 330A(f) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254c(f)). The purpose of this program is to support integrated health care networks that collaborate to achieve efficiencies; expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of basic health care services and associated health outcomes; and strengthen the rural health care system as a whole. The program supports networks as they address gaps in service, enhance systems of care, and expand capacity of the local health care system. HRSA currently collects information about RHND awards using an OMB-approved set of performance measures and seeks to revise that approved collection. The proposed revisions are being implemented to better gather award recipient data in response to previously accumulated award recipient feedback, peer-reviewed research, and information gathered from the previously approved RHND measures.

Scientific Research, Exempted Fishing, and Exempted Educational Activity Submissions

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension of a currently approved information collection. Under section 318 (d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery and Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) [16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.], as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act [Pub. L. 104–297], the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) is required to promulgate regulations that create an expedited, uniform, and regionally-based process to promote issuance, where practicable, of experimental fishing permits. Regulations under 50 CFR 648.12 and 50 CFR 600.745 establish processes for scientific research plans as well as exempted fishing and exempted educational activities that are exempted from applicable fishing regulations. Fishing regulations do not generally affect scientific research activities conducted by a scientific research vessel. Persons planning to conduct such research are encouraged to submit a scientific research plan to ensure that the activities are considered research and not fishing. The researchers are requested to submit reports of their scientific research activity after its completion. Eligible researchers on board federally permitted fishing vessels that plan to temporarily possess fish in a manner not compliant with applicable fishing regulations for the purpose of collecting scientific data on catch may submit a request for a temporary possession letter of authorization. The researchers are requested to submit reports of their scientific research activity after its completion. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) may also grant exemptions from fishery regulations for educational or other activities (e.g., using non-regulation gear). The applications for these exemptions must be submitted, as well as reports on activities.

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) is requesting a revision of the currently approved collection for the OMB No. 0990-0278, Federalwide Assurance (FWA) Form. The form is currently approved through October 31, 2026. The purpose of the FWA form is to provide a simplified procedure for institutions engaged in research conducted or supported by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to satisfy the assurance requirements of (1) Section 491(a) of the Public Health Service Act (the PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 289); and (2) HHS regulations for the protection of human subjects at 45 CFR 46.103. The respondents for this information collection are institutions engaged in HHS-conducted or –supported research involving human subjects. With this revision, OHRP is seeking to remove information from the FWA form to adopt the changes at 45 CFR 46.103 of the 2018 Requirements and reduce burden on respondents. The proposed changes to the FWA form include: 1) removing the Pre-2018 Common Rule requirement that institutions provide a statement of ethical principles; 2) removing the Pre-2018 Common Rule requirement that an institution designate one or more IRBs to review the research to which the FWA applies; 3) removing “check the box”, or the option for U.S. institutions to voluntarily apply the Common Rule, or the Common Rule and subparts B, C, and D of the HHS regulations at 45 CFR part 46, to all of an institution’s nonexempt human subjects research regardless of the source of support; and 4) eliminating the requirement for institutions outside the U.S. to provide procedural standards they apply for human subjects research when assuring compliance with the Terms of the Federalwide Assurance. Updates to the software applications OHRP uses to manage the FWA application process will be deployed to enable such changes.

This clause repeats the requirement in the clause at FAR 52.216-7, paragraph (d), for the contractor to submit an adequate final indirect cost rate proposal, however it does not impose any additional reporting requirements. c. FAR 52.242-4, Certification of Final Indirect Costs. This clause requires the contractor’s final indirect cost rate proposal to be certified to establish or modify the rates used to reimburse the contractor for the costs of performing under the contract. The supporting cost data are the cost accounting information normally prepared by organizations under sound management and accounting practices. This clause is incorporated into all solicitations and contracts that provide for establishment of final indirect cost rates, but the Department of Energy may provide an alternate clause for its Management and Operating contracts. d. FAR 52.242-5, Payments to Small Business Subcontractors. This clause requires the prime contractor to self-report to the contracting officer when the prime contractor makes late or reduced payments to small business subcontractors. The notice shall include the reason(s) for making the reduced or untimely payment. e. FAR 52.242-13, Bankruptcy. This clause requires contractors to notify the contracting officer within five days after initiating the proceedings relating to bankruptcy filing.

Abstract

PBGC’s regulation on Rules for Administrative Review of Agency Decisions (29 CFR part 4003) prescribes rules governing the issuance of initial determinations by PBGC and the procedures for requesting and obtaining administrative review of initial determinations. Certain types of initial determinations are subject to administrative appeals, which are covered in subpart D of the regulation. Subpart D prescribes rules on who may file appeals, when and where to file appeals, contents of appeals, and other matters relating to appeals. Under § 4003.54, an appeal must: (1) be in writing; (2) be clearly designated as an appeal; (3) specifically explain why PBGC’s determination is wrong and the result the appellant is seeking; (4) describe the relevant information the appellant believes is known by PBGC, and summarize any other information the appellant believes is relevant; (5) state whether the appellant desires to appear in person or through a representative before the Appeals Board; and (6) state whether the appellant desires to present witnesses to testify before the Appeals Board, and if so, state why the presence of witnesses will further the decision-making process. Under the regulation, where the appellant believes that another person may be aggrieved if PBGC grants the relief sought, the appeal must include the name(s) and address(es) (if known) of such other person(s).
