Change Requests

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.

Section 80.103, Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Operating Procedures; Maritime Mobile Services Identity (MMSI)

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission requires owners of marine VHF radios with Digital Selective Calling (DSC) capability to register information such as name, address, and type of vessel with a private entity issuing marine mobile service identities (MMSIs) through the ship station licensing process, however those ship stations operating domestically are not required to obtain an individual license and are licensed by rule. The Commission developed procedures to privatize the issuance of MMSIs by providing blocks of MMSI numbers to qualified entities for distribution to ship vessel operators that are not required by law to carry a radio and do not make international voyages or communications. The Commission has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Coast Guard and the private entities to collect the data that is on Attachment A (see information collection instrument section of ROCIS). The information collection is necessary to register data with a private entity that will be used by U.S. Coast Guard search and rescue personnel to identify vessels in distress and to select the proper rescue units and search methods.

Abstract

This ICR covers 2 information collections, one for childhood blood lead surveillance by NCEH and another for adult blood lead surveillance by NIOSH. This joint ICR includes 2 data collection systems that provide a coordinated, comprehensive, and systematic public health approach to the surveillance and monitoring of blood lead levels (BLLs) for children < 16 years old and for occupationally exposed adults ≥ 16 years old in the U.S. The goal of the NCEH CLPPP is to promote primary prevention of exposure to lead in children, and, as a secondary prevention strategy, to promote blood lead testing and surveillance of BLLs in children to ensure that there is a comprehensive system in place for the identification, referral, case management, and follow-up evaluation of lead-exposed children. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted to remove "NIOSH" from the ICR title, as the collection is led by NCEH. There is no change to the burden or data collection instruments.

Survey of Staff Recruitment, Training, and Professional Development in Early Head Start

Key Information

Abstract

On March 26th, 2024, OMB approved the information collection request to: (1) collect survey data from up to 600 Early Head Start programs representative of the population of Early Head Start programs in the continental United States; and (2) recruit Early Head Start program directors, or another program staff to answer the survey about (a) their program’s staff recruitment, training, and professional development strategies; (b) their programs’ successes and challenges with those strategies for hiring and maintaining staff with the qualifications and competencies to serve infants, toddlers, and pregnant women. The study team started collecting data in April of 2024 and preliminary analysis of our data showed that there was a survey logic error that made 43 of respondents skip over a subset of follow-up questions from instruments 1, 2, and 3. It is important that our team collects complete information from most participants to ensure representativeness of the Early Head Start program population. Finding this error highlighted a need for our team to be able to follow-up with certain participants about this specific question and other issues that might arise as we perform quality assurance checks of the data.

Underpinning this effort will be a renewed focus on enhancing organizational capacity, which translates into having a skilled workforce and supporting systems that are optimally positioned and equipped to deliver the FHWA's mission. This collection is voluntary and will conducted annually.

Abstract

This is a request for a new collection of information. Wildfires represent a clear and escalating threat to life and property in the United States. Since 1991, wildfires have accounted for an annual average of $14 billion in damages, 2,800 homes destroyed, and 30 fatalities. With an interdependency on weather, vegetative fuels, topography, and human behavior, wildland fire is a non-deterministic natural phenomenon. Yet today, National Weather Service (NWS) fire weather forecasts and warnings remain highly deterministic in how they convey hazard information. With an estimated 46 million residences at risk from wildfire across the nation, it is essential for the NWS to become better equipped to deploy fire weather (including smoke) predictive tools and technologies, products, services and information that range timescales of minutes, to hours, to months prior to dangerous wildfires. With the assistance of appropriate National Wildfire Coordination Group (NWCG) Committees and Subcommittees, this requirement employs social, behavioral, and economic science (SBES) support to engage with forecasters, incident meteorologists (IMETs), and stakeholders in the co-development of a framework for warning services, data collection, archival, analysis and visualization of probabilistic fire risk communications. Developing these capabilities will enable the NWS to better provide a more comprehensive suite of information for enhanced decision-making for the public and fire/land/emergency management communities.
