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.
Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify, or discontinue 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.
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.

Authorizing Statutes
Pub.L. 104 - 88 109 Stat. 803 (View Law) 49 USC 13902(c) (View Law) Pub.L. 106 - 159 113 Stat. 1748 (View Law) Abstract
This collection of information is used by the FMCSA to register foreign motor carriers to operate across the Mexico- U.S. border into the United States in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 13902(c) and 49 CFR 368. Data contained on the Form OP-2 will provide the FMCSA with evidence to assess the foreign (Mexico-based) motor carrier’s safety program and its ability to comply with U.S. safety standards. It also provides information concerning changes in each carrier’s operating status to ensure actual compliance with safety requirements. This enables the Agency to maintain an accurate census of registered carriers and ensure safety. There is an increase in the number of respondents and in the burden hours calculated for this renewal. The annual burden hour increase of 831 is due primarily to the increase in the number of updated OP-2 forms filed from 2020 through 2022. The average number of entities which filed updated OP-2 forms in the three-year period 2020 and 2022 increased by 95 percent, compared to the number that registered from 2017 through 2019. |

Fatigue Risk Management Programs for Certain Passenger and Freight Railroads
Key Information
Abstract
49 CFR part 270—System Safety Program (SSP) and part 271—Risk Reduction Program (RRP) require railroads subject to those rules to include a fatigue risk management program (FRMP) as one part of their railroad safety risk reduction programs. A railroad must adopt and implement its FRMP through an FRMP plan that the railroad has submitted to FRA for review and approval. These FRMP requirements are found at part 270, subpart E—Fatigue Risk Management Programs and at part 271, subpart G—Fatigue Risk Management Programs. FRA will use the information collected to ensure that railroads are developing and implementing an FRMP that meets regulatory requirements. FRA will also use the collected information to determine whether a railroad’s FRMP is improving railroad safety through the reduction of fatigue experienced by its safety-related railroad employees. This information collection is mandatory, submitted as needed, and there is a requirement for reporting. |

Data System for Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network
Key Information
Abstract
Section 372 of the Public Health Service Act requires that the Secretary of Health and Human Services, by award, provide for the establishment and operation of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), which, under oversight of the HRSA, operates the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation system. Significant changes to the collection include: 1) Adding data collection forms for candidates listed in the OPTN organ transplant waiting list to the existing OMB-approved information collection. These forms allow a transplant center to add, change, or remove candidates from the OPTN waiting list after a transplant center completes the patient evaluation. These forms contain information that the OPTN electronic organ matching system uses to match potential organ recipients with available deceased donor organs. There are 83 new data collection forms: candidate listing registration forms of all organs, candidate status justification forms of all applicable organs, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease or Pediatric End-Stage Liver Disease score exception and extension forms, and other forms. Additional revisions to existing OPTN data collection forms were made based on the OPTN Board of Directors (BOD)-approved changes to improve organ matching, allocation, and OPTN policy compliance; 2) Adding OPTN Board of Directors-approved revisions to existing data collection forms to improve organ matching, allocation, and OPTN policy compliance. |

Railroad Operating Rules
Key Information
Abstract
The collection of information associated with CFR parts 217 and 218, Railroad Operating Rules and Practices, requires railroads to file with FRA copies of their operating rules, timetables, timetable special instructions, and subsequent amendments. The regulations also require railroads to retain copies of these documents at their systems headquarters and make these documents available to FRA upon request. FRA is requiring the installation of inward and outward-facing locomotive image recording devices on all lead locomotives in passenger trains, as required by the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act). In general, this final rule requires that these devices record while a lead locomotive is in motion and retain the data in a crashworthy memory module. This collection of information involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The collection frequency of the required information occurs on an occasional basis as well as annually. |

Inquiry into Blocked Highway-Rail Grade Crossings throughout the United States
Key Information
Abstract
In 2020, FRA created a dedicated website allowing the public and law enforcement personnel to use web-based forms to voluntarily submit information about blocked highway-rail grade crossings to FRA. Under the currently approved information collection request (ICR), users provide information regarding the location, date, time, duration, and immediate impacts of highway-rail grade crossings blocked by slow-moving or stationary trains. FRA uses the data collected to gain a more complete picture of where, when, and for how long blocked crossings occur, and what impacts result from reported blocked crossing those incidents. Additionally, FRA uses the information to respond to congressional inquiries from members of Congress and so that congressional staff can respond to their constituents. Furthermore, FRA also uses the information gathered to facilitate meetings, outreach, and other solutions for stakeholders to reduce or eliminate blocked crossing concerns. This information is voluntary and open to the public. In a July 2022 Memorandum, DOT issued mandated requirements for the implementation of an enhanced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), making the use of a username and password no longer acceptable on public applications. Due to the observed lower usage of the dedicated law enforcement web link and the large burden associated, FRA has determined that the high burden associated with providing all law enforcement and first responders with the required DOT email address to use MFA, FRA determined that maintaining the restricted access, dedicated web link was not administratively practical. FRA has removed the law enforcement web link, and all blocked crossings information are now being submitted using the unrestricted web-based form for the public. This submission reflects information received though the general public web-based form available for use by all members of the public, such as law enforcement, first responders and concerned citizens. There is no requirement for recordkeeping. The frequency will be as needed as determined by the public. |

Fiduciary Bond (38 CFR Part 13)
Key Information
Abstract
Due to Congress authorizing VA to require a prospective fiduciary to obtain a surety bond as a part of the certification process of a prospective fiduciary, VA is requiring fiduciaries to submit proof of adequate bonding with annual accounting to facilitate its oversight responsibility as mandated. RIN 2900-AR11, Fiduciary Bond, does not use a form to collect this information. However, the amended information request is made by VA field fiduciary personnel. They make the request either verbally or by letter that informs the fiduciary to submit the original bond certificate or the contractual agreement between the fiduciary and the bonding company as proof of adequate bonding. This amended collection of information is required to fulfill VA requirements mandated by Congress, for oversight of fiduciaries. The VA Fiduciary Program would not be able to provide adequate oversight of certain fiduciaries appointed to receive VA benefits in excess of $25,000 on behalf of a beneficiary without proof that surety bonds are in place to protect these funds. |

2026 Current Population Survey- Child Support Supplement
Key Information
Abstract
The Current Population Survey-Child Support Supplement (CPS-CSS, Child Support Supplement, (CSS) or Supplement) information collection helps the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) understand the child support landscape and effectiveness of the child support program and helps to inform policy decisions. The CPS-CSS, last conducted in 2023, was added to the CPS in 2006 as part of a data collection series that the federal government started in 1979 in response to a recommendation by the Conference on Issues in Federal Statistical Needs Relating to Women. As in prior years, the Census Bureau, through an interagency agreement with OCSE, collects the information on child support as a supplement to the monthly CPS. The next survey will take place in April 2026. The information collection activities associated with the CPS-CSS are authorized by 13 U.S.C. 182, which allows the Secretary of Commerce to conduct surveys necessary to furnish annual and other interim current data on the subjects covered by the census, and Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, which authorizes OCSE to sponsor the CPS-CSS. This request is for a revision of a currently approved information collection. Revisions were made to the CPS-CSS, as described in Attachment A, and to the burden estimates based on the last round of data collection. |
