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.

Veteran/Beneficiary Claim for Reimbursement of Travel Expenses (VA Form 10-3542 and BTSSS)

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 111 and 38 C.F.R. Part 70, Subpart A, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Beneficiary Travel (BT) Program provides payments for authorized travel expenses to help Veterans and other beneficiaries obtain care or services from VHA and VA authorized non-VA providers in the community. VHA must administer payments according to statutory mandates, including the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) (Public Law 116-117). In compliance with the PIIA and other program requirements, VHA must gather certain information to determine whether BT eligibility and other criteria for approval have been met, and the amount of payment or reimbursement that is authorized under the BT program. Claimants may include Veterans and other BT beneficiaries, and entities or individuals who provided or paid for travel. Claimants may apply for BT reimbursement orally or in writing through VA Form 10-3542 or the Beneficiary Travel Self Service System (BTSSS). This standard collection of information is necessary to enable VHA to provide this benefit and appropriately ensure that funds are being paid to the correct claimant.

2024 National Survey of Early Care and Education

Key Information

Abstract

The 2024 National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE) and 2024 NSECE Longitudinal Follow-ups are funded by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation, Administration for Children & Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). These information collection activities are part of ACF’s ongoing effort to better understand the availability and use of ECE across the nation. Data collection for the 2024 NSECE began in November 2023 and baseline data collection is scheduled to run through November 2024. All planned and approved activities are being implemented and are ongoing, with no revisions to the currently approved plan at this time. This request is specific to the addition of two follow-up data collections: one with households and one with workforce respondents who complete interviews in the 2024 NSECE. The 2024 NSECE data will provide consistent and representative data to ACF for better understanding how the ECE landscape has changed since 2012 and the extent to which funding that resulted from legislative responses is associated with changes in the ECE system. Data from the 2024 NSECE Longitudinal Follow-ups will provide consistent and representative data to ACF for more in-depth understanding households’ search and selection of ECE, and for workforce participation in the ECE field over time. The objectives of the 2024 NSECE Longitudinal Follow-ups are to build on the design and implementation of the 2024 NSECE to collect urgently needed information on two topics relevant to ECE policy: 1) how households learn about and make use of financial assistance in seeking and selecting ECE, with additional focus on paid individual care arrangements; and 2) patterns of retention and attrition among individuals in the center-based ECE workforce.

FCC Application or Notification for Spectrum Leasing Arrangement or Private Commons Arrangement: WT and PSHS Bureaus

Key Information

Abstract

FCC Form 608 is a multi-purpose form. It is used to provide notification or request approval for any spectrum leasing arrangement (“Lease”) entered into between an existing licensee in certain Wireless and/or Public Safety Radio Services and a spectrum lessee. This form also is required to notify or request approval for any spectrum subleasing arrangement (“Sublease”). The data collected on the form is used by the FCC to determine whether the public interest would be served by the Lease or Sublease. The form is also used to provide notification for any Private Commons Arrangement entered into between a licensee, lessee, or sublessee and a class of third-party users (as defined in Section 1.9080 of the Commission’s Rules). On March 15, 2024, the Commission released a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in GN Docket No. 23-65 and IB Docket No. 22-271, FCC 24-28, (Report and Order), which adopted a regulatory framework for the provision of supplemental coverage from space (SCS). This proceeding will enable collaborations between satellite service providers and terrestrial service providers to offer ubiquitous connectivity directly to consumer handsets using spectrum that was previously allocated only to terrestrial service. The Commission anticipates that SCS will enable consumers in areas not covered by terrestrial networks to be connected using their existing devices via satellite-based communications. SCS is a crucial component of the Commission’s vision for a “single network future,” in which satellite and terrestrial networks work seamlessly together to provide coverage that neither network can achieve on its own. The Report and Order adopts new part 1 rules that require spectrum lessees to provide certain information in existing FCC Form 608. Namely, under new section 1.9047, such parties must provide: (1) a certification that the parties are entering into the leasing arrangement for the purpose of fulfilling the part 25 entry criteria; (2) a description of which method, single or multiple terrestrial licensee, the parties are utilizing to meet the part 25 entry criteria; and (3) if the parties are utilizing the multiple terrestrial licensee method, the parties should: (a) describe the nature of the leasing arrangement(s); and (b) demonstrate how the entirety of the geographically independent area (GIA) is covered by the lease arrangement(s). This process utilizes the Commission’s current application approval and notification processing procedures, which will remove unnecessary delay by employing the procedures that are already in place. Entities completing FCC Form 608 for the purposes of providing SCS must notify the Commission that the application is related to SCS. To properly comply, entities will indicate that the application is for SCS by so indicating in a new checkbox on Form 608. This process utilizes an existing Commission form, which will remove confusion by employing the procedures that are already in place.

Abstract

Improving USPTO programs requires ongoing assessment. The USPTO will collect, analyze, and interpret information gathered to identify strengths and weaknesses of current services. Based on feedback received, the Agency will identify operational changes needed to improve programs and services. The solicitation of feedback will target areas such as: timeliness, appropriateness, accuracy of information, courtesy, efficiency of service delivery, and resolution of issues with service delivery. The USPTO is committed to hearing feedback from its customers and stakeholders. Responses will be assessed to identify service areas in need of improvement. If this information is not collected, the Agency will miss opportunities to obtain vital feedback from its customers and stakeholders on ways to improve its programs and services.

Notice of Claim & Proof of Loss, Medium Term Guarantee

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 USC 635, et seq.), the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), facilitates the finance of the export of U.S. goods and services by providing insurance or guarantees to U.S. exporters or lenders financing U.S. exports. By neutralizing the effect of export credit insurance or guarantees offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept, Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. In the event that a borrower defaults on a transaction insured or guaranteed by Ex-Im Bank, the insured or guaranteed exporter or lender may seek payment from Ex-Im Bank by the submission of a claim. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 12 USC 635 (a)(1), to determine if such claim complies with the terms and conditions of the relevant insurance policy or guarantee, as the case may be. Ex-Im Bank offers guarantees of principal and interest on floating or fixed-rate loans by eligible lenders to creditworthy buyers of U.S. goods and services in order to help U.S. exporters compete against suppliers in other countries offering officially supported export credits and fill gaps in the availability of private export financing. The guarantees cover the repayment risks on the foreign buyer's debt obligations. Ex-Im Bank guarantees that, in the event of a payment default by the borrower, it will repay to the lender the outstanding principal and interest on the loan. The foreign buyer is required to make at least a 15 percent cash payment. Ex-Im Bank's comprehensive guarantee covers 100 percent of the commercial and political risks. Guarantees covering only specified political risks are also available.

Notice of Claim and Proof of Loss, Export Credit Insurance Policy

Key Information

Abstract

Ex-Im Bank insures receivables for exporters selling to creditworthy buyers of U.S. goods and services in order to help U.S. exporters compete against suppliers in other countries offering officially supported export credits and fill gaps in the availability of private export financing. The insurance policies cover the repayment risks on the foreign buyer's debt obligations. Ex-Im Bank guarantees that, in the event of a payment default by the borrower, it will repay the exporter the outstanding amount, with interest. By neutralizing the effect of export credit support offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept, Ex-Im Bank enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. Under the Working Capital Guarantee Program, Ex-Im Bank provides repayment guarantees to lenders on secured, short-term working capital loans made to qualified exporters. The guarantee may be approved for a single loan or a revolving line of credit. In the event that a buyer defaults on a transaction insured by Ex-Im Bank the insured exporter or lender may seek payment by the submission of a claim.

Fishing Capacity Reduction Program/Buyback Requests

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for extension of a currently approved information collection. NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) established programs to reduce excess fishing capacity by paying fishermen to surrender their vessels/permits. The information collected by NMFS involves the submission of buyback requests by industry, submission of bids, referenda of fishery participants and reporting of collection of fees to repay buyback loans. For buybacks involving State-managed fisheries, the State may be involved in developing the buyback plan and complying with other information requirements. NMFS requests information from participating buyback participants to track repayments of the loans as well as ensure accurate management and monitoring of the loans. The fees for recordkeeping and reporting requirements at 50 CFR parts 600.1013 through 600.1017 form the basis for the collection of information.

Arts Basic Survey

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for clearance to conduct the 2025 Arts Basic Survey (ABS) (formally titled Annual Arts Benchmarking Survey, and Annual Arts Basic Survey). This survey will be conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau as a supplement to the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s Current Population Survey. The ABS will be conducted in February 2025 and serves as a supplement when the National Endowment for the Arts’ (NEA) Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) is not conducted. To date, the ABS was conducted six times from 2013 to 2020. One of the strengths of the ABS is that it will complement and supplement the information collected in the SPPA. The SPPA is the field’s premiere repeated cross-sectional survey of individual attendance and involvement in arts and cultural activities, and is conducted approximately every five years. The ABS is much shorter than the SPPA, consisting of 12 to 14 questions per module that will be used to track arts participation over time. As with the SPPA, the ABS data will be circulated to interested researchers and will be the basis for a range of NEA reports and independent research publications. Reports on these data will be made publicly available on the NEA’s website or NEA-designated websites. The ABS will provide primary knowledge on the extent and nature of participation in the arts in the United States.

Annual Value Engineering Call for Data

Key Information

Abstract

Value Engineering (VE) is defined as a systematic process of review and analysis of a project, during the concept and design phases, by a multidiscipline team of persons not involved in the project, that is conducted to provide recommendations for providing the needed functions safely, reliably, efficiently, and at the lowest overall cost; improving the value and quality of the project; and reducing the time to complete the project. Applicable projects requiring a VE analysis include Projects on the National Highway System (NHS) receiving Federal assistance with an estimated total cost of $50,000,000 or more; Bridge projects on the NHS receiving Federal assistance with an estimated total cost of $40,000,000 or more; any major project, as defined in 23 U.S.C. 106(h), located on or off the NHS, that utilizes Federal-aid highway funding in any contract or phase; and other projects as defined in 23 CFR 627.5. 23 U.S.C. 106(e)(4)(iv) and 23 CFR 627.7(3) require States to monitor, evaluates and annually submit a report that describes the results of the value analyses that are conducted and the recommendations implemented on applicable projects. The FHWA Annually submits a National Call for VE Data in order to monitor and assess the VE Program and meet the requirements of 23 U.S.C. 106(h). Information collected includes the number and cost of studies completed each year, the total cost of all projects studied, the number of proposed and approved recommendations, and the value of approved recommendations. This data is then analyzed to get an average return on investment of the program. The annual call for data is done electronically through a google form. After collection, the data is published on a public facing website https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ve/vereport.cfm.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) launched Project CHALENG (Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and Networking Groups) for Veterans in 1993 in response to Public Law 102-405, which required VA to make an assessment of the needs of homeless Veterans in coordination with other Federal departments, state and local government agencies, and nongovernmental agencies with experience working with homeless persons. Since 1993, VA has administered a needs assessment in accordance with guidance in Public Law 103-446 and Public Law 105-114. This collection of information is necessary to ensure that VA and community partners are developing services that are responsive to the needs of local homeless Veterans, in order to end homelessness and prevent new Veterans from experiencing homelessness. Over the years data from CHALENG has assisted VA in developing new services for Veterans such as the Homeless Veteran Dental Program (HVDP), the expansion of the Department of Housing and Urban Development-VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program, the Veterans Justice Programs and Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF). In addition community organizations use CHALENG data in grant applications to support services for homeless Veterans; grant applications are for VA, other Federal, local government, and community foundation dollars, which maximizes community participation in serving homeless Veterans. This collection will be a renewal of the collection approved in 2021. No revisions have been made to the questions; however, revisions to the burden hours are based upon the number of respondents in the previous year. The collection consists of two survey forms: one for Veterans (VA Form 10-10161) and one for VA staff members, community homeless providers, and interested community members (VA Form 10-10162). The only difference between the two survey forms are the introductory demographic questions; otherwise the survey is the same for both groups.

Brake System Safety Standards for Freight and Other Non-Passenger Trains and Equipment

Key Information

Abstract

FRA is revising its regulations governing brake inspections, tests, and equipment. The changes include the incorporation of relief from various provisions provided in long-standing waivers related to single car air brake tests, end-of-train devices, helper service, and brake maintenance. FRA is also extending the time that freight rail equipment can be “off-air” before requiring a new brake inspection. In addition, FRA is making various modifications to the existing brake-related regulations to improve clarity and remove outdated or unnecessary provisions. The information collected is used by locomotive engineers and train crews to verify that the terminal air brake test has been performed in an adequate manner. This collection of information is mandatory, and affects Class I, Class II, Class III, passenger and commuter railroads in the United States. Information collected is done on a quarterly, annual, and occasional basis. The collection of information involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements. FRA uses the information collected under Part 232 to monitor and enforce railroad compliance with the rule's requirements. In particular, FRA examines required records to ensure railroads perform Class I train brake tests or single car brake tests as required and hat they are done satisfactorily. FRA reviews operating rules and practices to ensure that they require briefings of securement for any activity that will impact or require securement of any unattended equipment in the course of work being performed. FRA reviews required records to ensure that a qualified railroad employee inspects all equipment that an emergency responder has been on, under, or between for proper securement before the rail equipment or train is left unattended.

Documentation of Fish Harvest

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension of a currently approved information collection. The NMFS Southeast Region manages commercial fishing in Federal waters of the South Atlantic under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). South Atlantic Federal waters encompass the area offshore of North Carolina and south through the east coast of Florida. Federally permitted seafood dealers who process or sell federally managed snapper and grouper species during seasonal fishery closures in the South Atlantic for those applicable species must maintain documentation, as specified in 50 CFR part 300 subpart K and 50 CFR 622.192(i), that such fish were harvested from areas other than state or Federal waters in the South Atlantic. The applicable snapper and grouper species are greater amberjack, gag, black grouper, red grouper, scamp, red hind, rock hind, yellow mouth grouper, yellowfin grouper, graysby, and coney. The required documentation includes information about the vessel that harvested the fish, and where and when the fish were offloaded. The required documentation also requires a signed statement by the dealer that attests to the harvest of the applicable species from areas other than the South Atlantic. NMFS requires the information for the enforcement of fishery regulations at 50 CFR 622, subpart I.

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is implementing a second round of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP 2.0) for producers of agricultural commodities marketed in 2020 who face continuing market disruptions, low farm-level prices, and significant marketing costs. These additional significant marketing costs are associated with declines in demand, surplus production, or disruptions to shipping patterns and the orderly marketing of commodities.

Criteria and Non-Criteria Agricultural Clearance Order Forms and H-2A Application for Temporary Employment Certification in States and by Employers Covered by Injunction of the Farmworker Protection.

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) seeks to establish a new information collection to reinstate previous versions of Forms ETA-9142A, ETA-790, ETA-790A, and ETA-790B, only to be used by the plaintiffs who were granted an injunction by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia against the enforcement of the final rule “Improving Protections for Workers in Temporary Agricultural Employment in the United States” (Farmworker Protection Rule) in Kansas, et al. v. U.S. Department of Labor (Kansas).Emergency Justfication:ETA is requesting emergency clearance of an information collection request (ICR) that supports its compliance with a preliminary injunction issued by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia in the case Kansas, et al. vs. U.S. Department of Labor that prohibits the Department of Labor from enforcing the final rule “Improving Protections for Workers in Temporary Agricultural Employment in the United States” (Farmworker Protection Rule) in certain respects. Specifically, the injunction prohibits DOL from enforcing the Farmworker Protection Rule in the states of Georgia, Kansas, South Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia, and against Miles Berry Farm and the Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association. The Department will enforce the final rule in all other states and territories as the Court Order does not impose a nationwide injunction. This emergency request ultimately seeks to establish a new information collection to reinstate Forms ETA-9142A, ETA-790, ETA-790 A, and ETA-790 B, in the OMB approved form which they existed, prior to the effective date of the Farmworker Protection Rule. These forms will only be used in the 17 states of Kansas, Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, as well as by Miles Berry Farm and Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association (“Kansas plaintiffs”). The remainder of the states will continue to use these forms, as established through OMB Control Numbers 1205-0466 and 1205-0134. ETA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under the PRA and ensure the implementation of the regulatory requirements under the H-2A program and agricultural recruitment system. To comply with the court’s order, the Department has requested emergency approval to continue use of the information collection tools in use prior to the Farmworker Protection Rule by employers performing work in a state where the injunction applies or that are one of the entities to whom the injunction applies. Thus, to be able to implement the Farmworker Protection Rule while fully complying with the court’s order, the Department must reinstate Forms ETA-9142A, ETA-790, ETA-790 A, and ETA-790 B. Therefore, ETA requests a 180-day emergency clearance to establish the Criteria and Non-Criteria Agricultural Clearance Order Forms and H-2A Application for Temporary Employment Certification in States and by Employers Covered by Injunction of the Farmworker Protection Final Rule , Forms ETA-9142A, ETA-790, ETA-790 A, and ETA-790 B, (1205-NEW).

Joint Standards and CFPB Standards for Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices

Key Information

Abstract

Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Act) required the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (together, Agencies and separately, Agency) each to establish an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) to be responsible for all matters of the Agency relating to diversity in management, employment, and business activities. The Act also instructed each OMWI Director to develop standards for assessing the diversity policies and practices of entities regulated by the Agency. The Agencies worked together to develop joint standards (Joint Standards) and, on June 10, 2015, they jointly published in the Federal Register the “Final Interagency Policy Statement Establishing Joint Standards for Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices of Entities Regulated by the Agencies” (Policy Statement). The Agencies use the information provided to them to monitor progress and trends in the financial services industry with regard to diversity and inclusion in employment and contracting activities, as well as to identify and highlight those policies and practices that have been successful. The primary federal financial regulator will share information with other agencies, when appropriate, to support coordination of efforts and to avoid duplication. The Agencies may publish information disclosed to them, such as best practices, in any form that does not identify a particular entity or individual or disclose confidential business information.

On-Site Inspection for Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Supplier Location and Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR, Section 424.57 (CMS-R-263)

Key Information

Abstract

CMS is mandated to identify and implement measures to prevent fraud and abuse in the Medicare program. To meet this challenge, CMS has moved forward to improve the quality of the process for enrolling suppliers into the Medicare program by establishing a uniform application for enumerating suppliers of durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS). Implementation of enhanced procedures for verifying the enrollment information has also improved the enrollment process. As part of this process, verification of compliance with supplier standards is necessary. The site investigation form has been used in the past to aid the Medicare contractor (the National Supplier Clearinghouse and/or its subcontractors) in verifying compliance with the required supplier standards found in 42 CFR 424.57(c). The primary function of the site investigation form is to provide a standardized, uniform tool to gather information from a DMEPOS supplier that tells us whether it meets certain qualifications to be a DMEPOS supplier (as found in 42 CFR 424.57(c)) and where it practices or renders its services.
