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.

Hart-Scott-Rodino (Premerger Notification) Rules and Report Form

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “Commission”) seeks Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) clearance for revised reporting requirements under its Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act Rules and corresponding Premerger Notification and Report Form for Certain Mergers and Acquisitions. On June 29, 2023, the FTC submitted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPRM”) and an accompanying Supporting Statement to the OMB for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act (“PRA”). On July 7, 2023, OMB directed the Commission to resubmit its request when the proposed rule was finalized. The Final Rule was promulgated on November 12, 2024, and will be effective on February 10, 2025. The Commission is now submitting the Final Rule amendments and a Supplemental Supporting Statement to OMB.

The PACE Organization Application Process in 42 CFR Part 460 (CMS-10631)

Key Information

Abstract

Initial application requirements for the PACE program are currently set forth in 42 CFR 460.12 and in the PACE Manual, Ch. 17. Until recently, the submission of initial and SAE PACE applications and supporting information was in paper format. These applications are often hundreds of pages long, expensive to reproduce and transmit, and administratively inefficient, as staff reviewing different parts of the application are located in different physical locations and must receive hard copies of the material. However, beginning in 2016, initial PACE applications are being submitted via a new automated, electronic submission process. As with initial applications, an application also must be submitted for a PO that seeks to expand its service area and/or add a new service site, and with OMB approval, an automated application process will now also be required of PACE organizations submitting service area expansion applications. In pursuing this new information collection package, we are extracting this component only from the existing OMB approval for the PACE program (CMS-R-244, OMB Control Number 0938-0790).

Study Area Boundary Data Reporting in Esri Shapefile Format, DA 12-1777 and DA 13-282

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission requires all incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) to file shapfile maps of their service territories in a state (study area). State commissions can also submit these data voluntarily for ILECs in their state. Shapefiles are a commonly used, digitized, geographic information system (GIS) format. Accurate and accessible maps are essential to the legitimate distribution of universal service support to rural, high cost carriers. After the shapefiles are uploaded into a web interface provided by the Commission, each ILEC (or state) must certify the accuracy of its study area maps. Filers must also submit updated shapefile maps if their study area boundaries change, and must recertify the accuracy of the map every two years.

Administration for Children and Families Uniform Project Description (UPD)

Key Information

Abstract

The Uniform Project Description (UPD) is standard language and sections available for use by Administration for Children and Families (ACF) program offices to solicit the required project description and project budget information from applicants for specific funding opportunities. Applications are required for project grants and cooperative agreements as prescribed by HHS regulations 45 CFR § 75.203. The UPD provides a selection of text options for the program offices to choose from, which are used to communicate the application requirements for a specific grant or cooperative agreement notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), as required by 45 C.F.R. § 75.203, and Appendix I to Part 75 – Full Text of Notice of Funding Opportunity. The UPD is fundamental to ACF’s competitive award process. It ensures the provision of adequate information to support award decisions. The ability to select the appropriate standard language for a given NOFO reduces the burden of application preparation, by eliminating unnecessary portions of the application for a given announcement. In addition, it provides for consistency and objectivity in the application and review processes required by 45 C.F.R. § 75.204. In March 2023, ACF obtained approval for the current ACF Uniform Project Description (UPD) (OMB expiration date: March 31, 2026). A subsequent nonsubstantive change request was approved in October 2023 to allow for an alternate, simplified version of the UPD to be piloted with 25 NOFOs. The pilot effort, which was part of the HHS SimplerGrants, SimplerNOFOs Initiative, was successful and ACF would like to expand use of the simplified version in 2025.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Part 40, Provisions Common to Registered Entities

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission is revising control number 3038-0093 in connection with final amendments to the Commission’s regulations under Part 40 (including regulations 40.2, 40.3, 40.4, 40.5, 40.6 and 40.10). Part 40 provides procedures for the submission of rules and rule amendments by registered entities, including designated contract markets, swap execution facilities, derivatives clearing organizations, and swap data repositories. It establishes the procedures for submitting the “written certification” required by Section 5c of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) in connection with a product or rule certification. The Commission is amending the Part 40 regulations to clarify, simplify, and enhance their utility for market participants and the Commission. Commission staff has observed a trend that some of the submissions under part 40 tend not to include sufficient information. Accordingly, the Commission is adding language clarifying that the submissions must be “complete.” These amendments are likely to modestly increase the PRA reporting burden for registered entities, although some registered entities are already providing the information required under the final rule. While the amendments are not intended to expand or otherwise alter the scope of the current regulation, the Commission conservatively estimates some reporting entities may expend some additional time cognizable under the PRA to ensure the completeness of their submissions. Regulation 40.10 also contains submission procedures for certain risk-related rules proposed by a systemically important derivatives clearing organization (“SIDCO”). The SIDCO regulations require, among other things, 60-days advance notice of proposed rules or rule amendments that may materially affect the nature or level of risks presented by the SIDCO. The SIDCO reporting burden will not be impacted by the amendments.

Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Amendment 14 Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for renewal of an approved information collection. Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Secretary of Commerce has the responsibility for the conservation and management of marine fishery resources. Much of this responsibility has been delegated to the NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Under this stewardship role, the Secretary was given certain regulatory authorities to ensure the most beneficial uses of these resources. One of the regulatory steps taken to care out the conservation and management objectives is to collect information from users of the resources. This collection requires limited access mackerel and longfin squid/butterfish moratorium permit holders to bring all catch aboard the vessel and make it available for sampling by an observer. If a catch is not made available to an observer before discard, that catch is defined as slippage, and the vessel operator must complete a “Released Catch Affidavit” form within 48 hours of the end of the fishing trip which details why catch was slipped, estimates the quantity and species composition of the slipped catch, and records the time and location of the slipped catch. This collection also requires any vessel with a limited access mackerel permit intending to land over 20,000 lb of mackerel to contact NMFS at least 48 hours in advance of a fishing trip to request an observer. Vessels currently contact NMFS via phone, and selection notices or waivers are issued by NMFS via VMS. If service providers are unable to provide coverage, an owner, operator, or vessel manager may request a waiver by calling the Northeast Fisheries Observer Program. Additionally, if a fishing trip is cancelled, vessels must notify NMFS of the cancelled trip to prevent observers from being deployed to a cancelled trip.

Marine Recreational Fishing Expenditure Survey (MRFE)

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for a revision and extension. The revision consists of updating the demographic questions to adhere to the new OMB approved demographic questions under the Statistical Policy Directive on 3/29/24 and updating sample sizes and burden hours based on recent fishing license data. Marine recreational fishing is a popular pastime across the United States (U.S.) that generates economic activity and benefits to local communities, state economies, and to the nation. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is required to provide economic data and analysis on recreational fishing for use in fisheries management. The purpose of this data collection is to gather information on marine recreational anglers’ expenditures on fishing trips and durable goods related to fishing. These data are used in fisheries management analyses by state fisheries agencies, regional fishery management councils, and NMFS to understand the economic effects of fisheries regulations and policies. The survey will target marine recreational anglers in all coastal states. As the survey is conducted across all coastal states and specifically targets marine recreational fishing, the benefits are that it can provide comparable data across states and at a national level and is easily available to federal and state agencies who need timely economic information on marine recreational fishing. Results of the survey are also used in NMFS economic reports, by other NOAA and Department of Commerce offices, by academic researchers, and a wide variety of other groups and constituents interested in marine recreational fisheries.

Key Information

Abstract

The FAA’s DroneZone platform (https://dronezone.faa.gov) is the public-facing online hub for UAS activities and information reporting, including safety event reporting. The FAA is continually updating DroneZone to add functionality and improve users’ registration experience. The Safety Event Reporting information collected by the FAA through the DroneZone website, Flight Standards District Offices, one of the Regional Operations Centers, or the Washington Operations Center for each sUAS safety event is used to investigate and determine regulatory compliance. In addition, the safety event information goes into the FAA aircraft accident database for safety analysis purposes by the FAA Office of Accident Investigation and Analysis, pursuant to its statutory safety mission. As is currently the case for manned aircraft accidents, sUAS safety event data will be made available to the public and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Submission of accident information is mandatory if a small unmanned aircraft safety event meets certain criteria. The affected population consists of small unmanned aircraft operators.

FERC-725A, Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk-Power System

Key Information

Abstract

The FERC 725A contains the TOP standards that pertain to operation planning for transmission providers. The North American Electric Reliability Organization (NERC) proposed updating the TOP-002-4 standard to TOP-002-5 to ensure that transmission operators and balancing authorities maintain an extreme cold weather operating plan. In Docket No. RD24-1-000, FERC approved the NERC submitted Reliability Standard which triggers the update within the FERC-725A. In this update, the Reliability Standard TOP-002-4 is being replaced with version TOP-002-5 that will supersede requirements in TOP-002-4. The change in this revision pertains to the additional requirement 8 which specifies that transmission operators and balancing authorities maintain evidence that they have an extreme cold weather plan.

Safety Standard for Infant Support Cushions

Key Information

Abstract

The Danny Keysar Child Product Safety Notification Act, section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), requires the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) to promulgate consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. Under this statutory authority, the Commission is issuing a safety standard for infant support cushions. The Commission is also amending CPSC’s consumer registration requirements to identify infant support cushions as durable infant or toddler products and amending CPSC’s list of notices of requirements (NORs) to include infant support cushions. This safety standard contains information collection requirements that are subject to public comment and review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521).
