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.

Administration and Oversight of the Unaccompanied Children Program

Key Information

Abstract

The “Administration and Oversight of the Unaccompanied Children Program” information collection contains 12 instruments that allow the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to facilitate stakeholder visits to care provider facilities; obtain consent from unaccompanied children to share their case file information; improve service delivery to unaccompanied children; and ensure that serious issues are elevated to ORR and that all incidents and the response to such incidents are documented and resolved in a way that protects the best interests of unaccompanied children. The collection was last approved by OMB on May 18, 2022 and the current expiration date is May 31, 2025. ORR is proposing changes to one form in this collection, the Notification of Concern (Form A-7). Form A-7 is currently formatted as a fillable PDF. ORR plans to digitize and incorporate the form into its new interactive, web-based application for Post-Release Services (PRS). As part of this process, ORR solicited feedback and completed testing activities, as approved under the “Feedback for Post-Release Service (PRS) Solution Development and Iteration” information collection (0970-0401), and has identified minor revisions to improve clarity, usability, and functionality of the digital form.

Medicaid State Plan Base Plan Pages (CMS-179)

Key Information

Abstract

The Medicaid State base plan pages and attachments are documents utilized by State and territorial agencies which have the responsibility for administering the Medicaid program. The Medicaid State plan is comprised of "pages" and organized by subject matter which include Medicaid eligibility (Section 2), services (Section 3), payment for services (Section 4), and general, financial and personnel administration (Sections 1, 5, 6, 7). When States or territories seek to change selected pages of their State plans, the page(s) are transmitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for review and approval by the CMS Central and Regional Offices prior to amending its State plan. Associated with the "CMS-179", a one page cover page that is included in every State plan amendment, the base State plan pages contain approximately 150 documents, and the Attachments and Supplements contain approximately 500 documents that correspond to implementing regulations in the CFR and statutes in the Social Security Act. The base and plan page documents have the same OMB approval number as the CMS-179. The present revision of the current collection is to revise and update selected pages to comply with Federal laws and regulations.

Rules 13n-1 to 13n-11 and Form SDR

Key Information

Abstract

Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act authorizes the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) to regulate security-based swaps and to take steps to encourage accountability and transparency in this market. In an effort to enhance such transparency, section 763(i) of the Act establishes centralized recordkeeping facilities, known as security-based swap data repositories (SDRs), to retain complete records of security-based swap transactions, maintain the integrity of those records, and provide effective access to those records to relevant authorities. Pursuant to sections 763(i) and 766(a) of the Act, transactions in securities-based swaps must be reported to an SDR or the Commission. Rules 13n-1 to 13n-11 (“Rules”), as well as Form SDR, create a structure to register SDRs in accordance with this statutory mandate. Under the Rules, an SDR are required to register by filing a Form SDR. SDRs are also required to abide by certain minimum standards set out in the Rules, including a requirement to update Form SDR, abide by certain duties and core principles, maintain data in accordance with the Rules, keep their systems in accordance with the Rules, keep records, provide reports to the Commission, maintain privacy, make certain disclosures, and designate a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”).

Generic Clearance for Decision Science Data Collections

Key Information

Abstract

The core mission of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. NIST’s operating units increasingly recognize that the built environment is meant to serve social and economic functions. With this in mind, NIST proposes to conduct a number of data collection efforts directly related to decision-making across individuals, institutions, and communities relevant to key research areas of the agency. The use of decision and information science is critical to further the mission of NIST to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness. NIST proposes to conduct a number of data collection efforts in decision and information science to include: decision analysis, risk analysis, cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis, constrained optimization, simulation modeling, and application of perception, information processing, and decision models and theories; and drawing on parts of operations research, microeconomics, statistical inference, management control, cognitive and social psychology, and computer science. By focusing on decisions as the unit of analysis, decision science provides a unique framework for understanding interactions across technologies, socio-economic networks, organizations (e.g., institutions, firms), elements of the built environment, and a range of ecological problems and perceptions that influence these decisions. Data may be collected through a variety of modes, including but not limited to electronic or social media, direct or indirect observation (i.e., in-person, video and audio collections), interviews, structured questionnaires, observational study designs, and focus groups.

Reduction of Truck Emissions at Port Facilities (RTEPF) Grant Program

Key Information

Abstract

The information collection request for the Reduction of Truck Emissions at Port Facilities (RTEPF) Grant Program is necessary for DOT to receive applications for grant funds, monitor project financial conditions and project progress, evaluate the effectiveness of grant-funded projects, and share best practices, pursuant to the Department’s RTEPF Grant Program. Applications are submitted on an annual basis. Applicants include port authorities, port terminal operators, truck carriers, State Departments of Transportation (DOT) or group of State DOTs, metropolitan planning organizations, municipal governments or groups of municipal governments, Federal land management agencies that apply jointly with a State or group of States, and Federally recognized tribal governments or a consortium of tribal governments. The purpose of this program is to provide competitive grants to test, evaluate, and deploy projects that reduce port-related emissions from idling trucks, including through the advancement of port electrification and improvements in efficiency, focusing on port operations, including heavy-duty commercial vehicles, and other related projects, and provide financial assistance that leverages non-Federal contributions. If their projects are selected to receive funding, grantees will provide progress reports to DOT discussing the projects’ overall status, activities, and schedules on a quarterly or annual basis, depending on the type of report.

Retirement Savings Lost and Found

Key Information

Abstract

Section 523(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires the Department of Labor (Department), in consultation with the U.S. Treasury Department, to establish an online searchable database called the Retirement Savings Lost and Found (Lost and Found) no later than December 29, 2024. The Department has the sole responsibility for establishing and maintaining the Lost and Found. The Lost and Found online searchable database will enable individuals to locate benefits they are owed by providing them with contact information for their plan administrator, the designated trustee or issuer described in section 401(a)(31)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Code), or the issuer of an annuity described in section 523(e)(3)(C) of ERISA. Plan administrators have reported much of the information needed for the establishment of the Lost and Found to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on Form 8955-SSA (Annual Registration Statement Identifying Separated Participants With Deferred Vested Benefits) and its predecessor Schedule SSA to the Form 5500. However, citing concerns under section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code), IRS has determined it will not authorize the release of this data to the Department for the purpose of communicating either directly with participants and beneficiaries about retirement plans that may still owe them retirement benefits or indirectly through the Lost & Found online searchable database. Accordingly, the Department is proposing to request plan administrators to voluntarily furnish the information specified below directly to the Department.
