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.

Filing of Dedicated Cars

Key Information

Abstract

The collection of information associated with CFR parts 215, Railroad Freight Car Safety Standards (FCSS) requires that any railroad carrier that has a freight car assigned to dedicated service be stenciled to indicate special service. FRA reviews this information to determine if the equipment is safe to operate and if the operation qualifies for dedicated service. The required information is also used by the railroads to provide identification and control for carriers so that dedicated cars remain in the prescribed service. FRA is amending the FCSS to implement the SAFE TRAINS Act mandate that FRA issue a regulation to monitor and enforce industry's compliance with the standards of the Act. FRA is requiring freight car manufacturers to certify annually by electronic submission that each freight car complies with the Act before it operates on the U.S. general railroad system of transportation. This information collection is mandatory, submitted on an as needed basis, and there is a requirement for record keeping.

Survey of Veteran Enrollees' Health and Use of Health Care

Key Information

Abstract

The VA Survey of Veteran Enrollees’ Health and Use of Health Care gathers information from Veterans enrolled in the VA Health Care System about factors that influence their health care utilization choices. The original authority for this information collection is from Public Law 104, Section 262, Veterans’ Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996. Data collected are used to gain insights into Veteran preferences and to provide VA and Veterans Health Administration (VHA) management guidance in preparing for future Veteran needs. In addition to factors influencing health care choices, the data collected include enrollees’ perceived health status and need for assistance, available insurances, self-reported utilization of VA services versus other health care services, reasons for using VA, barriers to seeking care, ability and comfort level with accessing virtual care, as well as general demographics and family characteristics that may influence utilization but cannot be accessed elsewhere. Based upon historical program data, the survey has been revised to remove some questions and add other questions, and certain questions are asked only in alternating years. Further, the target sample of respondents has been decreased to reduce costs and reduce burden on Veterans. while maintaining the integrity of the data. Information provided through the survey supports critical VA policy decisions.

Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. § 813, authorizes MSHA to collect information necessary to carry out its duty in protecting the safety and health of miners. Title 30 CFR 57.22401 sets forth the safety requirements for using a retort to extract oil from shale in underground metal and nonmetal I-A and I-B mines (those that operate in a combustible ore and either liberate methane or have the potential to liberate methane based on the history of the mine or the geological area in which the mine is located). At present, this applies only to underground oil shale mines. The standard requires that prior to ignition of underground retorts; mine operators must submit a written ignition operation plan to the appropriate Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) District Manager which contains site-specific safeguards and safety procedures for the underground areas of the mine which are affected by the retorts.

Key Information

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Sulfuric Acid Plants (40 CFR Part 60 Subpart H) apply to both existing facilities and new facilities. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. A sulfuric acid plant is any facility producing sulfuric acid (H2SO4) by the contact process by burning elemental sulfur, alkylation acid, hydrogen sulfide, organic sulfides and mercaptans, or acid sludge. A sulfuric acid plant does not include facilities where conversion to sulfuric acid is used primarily as a means of preventing emissions to the atmosphere of sulfur dioxide (SO2) or other sulfur compounds. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS.

Triennial Network Adequacy Review for Medicare Advantage Organizations and 1876 Cost Plans (CMS-10636)

Key Information

Abstract

This proposed collection of information is essential to appropriate and timely compliance monitoring by CMS, in order to ensure that all active MAO contracts offering network-based plans maintain an adequate network. Currently, CMS verifies that MAOs are compliant with the current CMS network adequacy criteria by performing a contract-level network review, which occurs when CMS requests that an MAO upload provider and facility Health Service Delivery (HSD) tables for a given contract to the Health Plan Management System (HPMS). If an MAO does not have its contract-level network formally reviewed by CMS after the initial contract application process, then there is no CMS requirement for a network adequacy review unless one of the above listed triggering events occurs. Therefore, CMS is proposing this collection of information in order to improve monitoring of MAOs’ network adequacy. This collection of information requires the uploading of HSD tables to the Network Management Module (NMM) in HPMS for any contract that has not had an entire network review performed by CMS in the previous three years of contract operation. The collection process will occur at the contract level for each MAO that qualifies, and CMS will assess each contract against the current CMS network adequacy criteria. Each time an MAO’s contract undergoes an entire network review during any of the triggering events listed on page one, the three-year anniversary date for that contract will be reset, and CMS will maintain an HPMS report to keep track of this date for every active network-based contract.

Matters Related to First Inventor to File

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Patent System uses a ‘first to file’ system, as introduced by the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) which was enacted into law on September 16, 2011. To determine the first inventor to file, information is needed in order to identify the inventorship and ownership, or obligation to assign ownership, of each claimed invention on its effective filing date. Section 3 of the AIA, inter alia, amended 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 consistent with the objectives of the AIA, including the conversion of the United States patent system from a “first to invent” system to a “first inventor to file” system. The changes in section 3 of the AIA went into effect on March 16, 2013, but apply only to certain applications filed on or after March 16, 2013. This information collection covers information required by 37 CFR 1.55(k), 1.78(a)(6), and 1.78(d)(6) to assist the USPTO in determining whether an application is subject to 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 as amended by Section 3 of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA), or 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103, in effect on March 15, 2013.

Drug and Alcohol Testing Program for Personnel Engaged in Specified Aviation Activities

Key Information

Abstract

Part 119 certificate holders with the authority to operate under part 121 and 135, air tour operators as defined in 14 CFR § 91.147, non-FAA or Military Air Traffic Control Facilities, contractors, or repair stations under 14 CFR part 145 that conduct drug and alcohol testing programs are mandated to report information to this collection. The FAA uses this information for determining program compliance or non-compliance of regulated aviation employers, oversight planning, determining who must provide a mandatory annual Management Information System (MIS) testing information, and communicating with entities subject to the program regulations. In addition, the information is used to ensure that appropriate action is taken regarding crewmembers and other safety-sensitive employees who have tested positive for drugs or alcohol or have refused to submit to testing. The collection includes reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosure information. Using the information reported on the annual MIS allows the FAA Administrator to determine the random testing rates for the following year, which is published in the Federal Register. The FAA issued a Final Rule, Drug and Alcohol Testing of Certificated Repair Station Employees Located Outside of the United States, which requires certificated part 145 repair stations located outside the territory of the United States, whose employees perform safety-sensitive maintenance functions on part 121 air carrier aircraft, to conduct drug and alcohol testing in accordance with 14 CFR part 120 and 49 CFR part 40. Repair stations meeting the regulations must obtain an Antidrug and Alcohol Misuse Prevention Program Operations Specification (A449 paragraph) in FAA’s Operations Specifications database and must report annual drug and alcohol testing program statistics through the Department of Transportation Drug and Alcohol Management Information System (DAMIS). The final rule alternatively provides a process for a foreign government, on behalf of certificated repair stations within their territories, and individual foreign repair stations subject to the rule to submit and obtain a waiver of recognition to obtain the Administrator’s recognition of a compatible alternative that contains minimum criteria in lieu of compliance with certain components of 14 CFR part 120. Foreign repair stations meeting the regulatory requirements by obtaining a waiver of recognition are not required to obtain an A449 paragraph or report annual drug and alcohol testing program statistics through DAMIS.

Evaluation of the Green and Resilient Retrofit Program

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R), at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is proposing the collection of information to support an evaluation of the Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP). GRRP is a newly funded program through Section 30002 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 titled “Improving Energy Efficiency or Water Efficiency or Climate Resilience of Affordable Housing.” $60 million is appropriated to HUD for “information technology, research and evaluation, and administering and overseeing the implementation” (P.L. 117-169; see full statutory text in Appendix H). In addition, $42.5 million is appropriated to HUD for “energy and water benchmarking of properties eligible to receive grants or loans under this section, regardless of whether they actually received such grants or loans, along with associated data analysis and evaluation at the property and portfolio level, and the development of information technology systems necessary for the collection, evaluation, and analysis of such data” (P.L. 117-169). Eligible properties include all properties under HUD-assisted programs Section 202, Section 811, Section 236, and project-based Section 8. Key research questions to be addressed in the evaluation include: 1. Do property owners want the resources (loans and grants) that are offered through GRRP? Are the funds addressing the right needs? What flexibilities are needed? 2. How can HUD balance reaching owners with properties most in need of upgrading, who may not have the capacity to leverage the funds offered through GRRP, with achieving the energy, carbon, and resilience goals of the program? 3. Once awarded, what challenges do owners face in developing their scope of work, engaging with residents, and completing benchmarking and other program requirements? 4. How did procurement and construction go for GRRP compared to past rehabilitations? How are investments and installed equipment being maintained? 5. How satisfied are owners with the outcomes? 6. Have the intended improvements in energy efficiency been achieved, and at what relationship of benefit to cost? 7. Have the intended improvements in resilience been achieved, and at what relationship of benefit to cost? 8. What information beyond raw energy and water usage data is needed to understand consumption and efficiency trends in HUD-assisted multifamily properties? The Evaluation of Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP Evaluation) will be implemented in phases. Under Phase 1, HUD plans to collect survey and interview data related to the application process, the scoping and design phase of GRRP, and the post-construction period. In addition, benchmarking data for energy and water usage will be collected using a survey. Phase 1 data collection will help address research questions 1-5, and 8 (above). Data collection to address research questions 6-7 (above) will come in the later phase to be accompanied by a separate PRA clearance. Phase 1 data collection is planned to start in March 2024 for benchmarking and June 2024 for the other components. Phase 2 data collection is planned to start no earlier than summer 2026.
