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.

Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP) Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

The Alzheimer’s and Dementia Program Data Reporting Tool (ADP-DRT) is needed in order to: •Collect data for performance measures used in the justification of the budget to Congress and by program, state and national decision makers. •Effectively manage the ACL’s Alzheimer’s Disease Program at the federal, state and local levels. •Advocate at the federal and state levels for more effective and efficient supports and services for persons with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers. The ADP-DRT collects information about the delivery of supports and services by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) Alzheimer’s Disease Program grantees, including basic demographic information about service recipients and spending on direct services and administrative expenses. The Older American’s Act requires ACL to evaluate “demonstration projects that support the objectives of this Act, including activities to bring effective demonstration projects to scale with a prioritization of projects that address the needs of under served populations, and promote partnerships among aging services, community-based organizations, and Medicare and Medicaid providers, plans, and health (including public health) systems. (Section 201 (42 U.S.C. 3011) Sec. 127. Research and Evaluation). To fulfill the evaluation requirements and allow for optimal federal and state-level management of the program, specific information must be collected from grantees, including the following: A. The number of persons with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia or at high risk of dementia and/or their caregivers served by the program and their respective demographic characteristics. B. The number of professionals trained in dementia education, care and best practices. C. Information about grant funds spent on direct services, program administration costs and general organizational administrative costs. D. The provision of direct services to persons with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia or at high risk of dementia and/or their caregivers. Information from the ADP-DRT will be provided to: federal and state legislators; state agencies on aging; national, state and local organizations with an interest in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia and long-term care issues; current and future ACL Alzheimer’s Disease Program grantees; and private citizens who request it. Information will be posted on ACL’s National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center (NADRC) website.

Title VI Program Performance Report

Key Information

Abstract

A Program Performance Report on activities under Title VI of the Older Americans Act (OAA) is necessary for the Administration of Community Living (ACL) to monitor federal funds effectively and be informed as how programs may change over time. Grantees are required to submit an annual Program Performance Report to allow for efficient federal monitoring. Section 614(a)(3) of the OAA states that an applicant for a grant under Title VI Part A, Indian Program must report performance elements based on the services provided under the OAA. Section 202(a)(16)(A)(i)(ii)(iii) requires the collection and reporting of data in respect to each service or activity, and 45 CFR 75.342(b)(i) requires that grantees must submit reports on a timeline determined by HHS, and as such, ACL requires annual reports from Title VI grantees. ACL estimates an average of three and a half hours preparation time per report. The Program Performance Report provides data for ACL to: (1) monitor program achievement of performance objectives; (2) establish program policy and direction; and (3) prepare responses to Congress, OMB, and public and private agencies as required by the OAA Title II sections 202(a)19 and 207. These data are also used to prepare data for the Federal Interagency Task Force on Older Indians, established pursuant to section 134(d) of the 1987 Amendments to the OAA. If ACL did not collect the program data, it would not be able to monitor and manage total program progress as expected, nor develop program options directed toward assuring the most effective use of limited Title VI funds.

State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) Client Contact Forms

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of this data collection is to collect performance data from grantees, grantee team members and partners. Congress requires this data collection for program monitoring and Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) purposes. This data collection allows ACL and the Center for Innovation and Partnership (CIP) to communicate with Congress and the public on the SHIP, the SMP program, the Medicare Improvements for Patients & Providers Act (MIPPA) program, and the ADRC activities. The SHIP, SMP, MIPPA, and ADRC programs are located in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In order to ensure that grantees report activity accurately and consistently it is imperative that these data collection tools remain active. The respondents for this data collection are grantees, grantee team members, and partners who meet with Medicare beneficiaries and older adults in group settings and in one-on-one sessions to educate them on Medicare enrollment, Medicare benefits and subsidy programs, the importance of being aware of Medicare fraud, error and abuse, and having the knowledge to protect the Medicare system.

Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals From Electric Utilities (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The EPA published a final rule to regulate the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) from electric utilities as solid waste under RCRA Subtitle D (see 80 FR 21302, April 17, 2015). EPA established national minimum criteria for existing and new CCR landfills and CCR surface impoundments and all lateral expansions to include location restrictions, design and operating criteria, groundwater monitoring and corrective action, closure requirements and post-closure care, and recordkeeping, notification, and internet posting requirements. Since the final rule, several court decisions have required accelerated closure timelines for many units and forced closures for many units previously categorized as lined. In 2020, EPA published the Hazardous and Solid Waste Management System: Disposal of CCR; A Holistic Approach to Closure Part B: Alternate Demonstration for Unlined Surface Impoundments Rule which allows for units to receive variances for unlined surface impoundments (see 85 FR 72506, November 12, 2020). This ICR includes the voluntary action that states may take to obtain permit program approval. With this renewal, this ICR also incorporates the burden currently covered by OMB Control No. 2050-0053.

Single-Counterparty Credit Limits

Key Information

Abstract

The FR 2590 was implemented in connection with the Board’s single-counterparty credit limits rule (SCCL rule), codified in the Board’s Regulation YY - Enhanced Prudential Standards (12 CFR Part 252) and the Board’s Regulation LL – Savings and Loan Holding Companies (12 CFR Part 238). The information collected by the FR 2590 reporting form allows the Board to monitor a covered company’s or a covered foreign entity’s compliance with the SCCL rule. A covered company is any U.S. bank holding company (BHC) that is subject to Category I, II, or III standards or any savings and loan holding company (SLHC) that is subject to Category II or III standards. A covered foreign entity is a foreign banking organization (FBO) that is subject to Category II or III standards or that has total global consolidated assets of $250 billion or more, and any U.S. intermediate holding company (IHC) that is subject to Category II or III standards. In addition to the reporting form, the FR 2590 information collection incorporates notice requirements pertaining to requests that may be made by a covered company or covered foreign entity to request temporary relief from specific requirements of the SCCL rule, as well as a requirement that filers of the FR 2590 reporting form retain an exact copy of each completed FR 2590.

Key Information

Abstract

On January 15, 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published in the Federal Register (FR) the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (86 FR 4198). In a subsequent action on June 16, 2021, EPA published the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Lead and Copper Rule Revisions; Delay of Effective and Compliance Dates (86 FR 31939), which set the new effective date for the LCRR as December 16, 2021, and the compliance date as October 16, 2024. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the initial Information Collection Request for Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) on July 25, 2022, and set the renewal date as December 31, 2023. Therefore, this ICR renewal characterizes the incremental impacts of the LCRR in terms of the burden and costs for the three years after December 31, 2023 (January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026). Also, this ICR modifies the extension to the ICR titled, Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts, Chemical, and Radionuclides Rules (80 FR 78224, December 16, 2015, OMB control number 2040-0204), which estimates the burden and costs associated with the previous Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) as well as other rules.

Evaluation of A Toolkit to Support Evidence-Based Writing Instruction in Grades 2 Through 4

Key Information

Abstract

The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) within the U.S. Department of Education (ED) requests clearance for data collection activities to support an evaluation of A Toolkit to Support Evidence-Based Writing Instruction in Grades 2 Through 4. Specifically, this request covers collection of data to conduct an evaluation to assess whether implementing the writing toolkit (1) improves teachers’ attitudes towards writing and helps them align their writing instruction with the evidence-based recommendations in the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Teaching Elementary School Students to Be Effective Writers practice guide and (2) improves students’ writing quality and reading achievement. This randomized controlled trial study will compare teacher and student outcomes in schools that implement the writing toolkit (the treatment group) with the teacher and student outcomes in schools that continue to provide their usual professional development supports (the comparison group). There is a great need for professional learning supports in elementary writing instruction to address low reading and writing proficiency across the country. Teacher preparation programs rarely offer stand-alone writing instruction (Myers et al. 2016; Morgan 2010; Brenner 2013), and surveys show many teachers and teacher educators do not feel confident in writing instruction (Myers et al. 2016; Cutler and Graham 2008). An accessible package of professional learning materials designed to help educators translate evidence-based recommendations for elementary writing instruction into daily instruction could be a game-changer for improving teacher practice and student writing. The elementary writing toolkit aims to offer such an accessible, evidence-based professional learning package by drawing on the WWC Teaching Elementary School Students to Be Effective Writers practice guide. The practice guide helps to fill the professional development gaps for elementary writing instruction by providing clear, actionable recommendations along with specific implementation steps and examples. The toolkit will build on the practice guide to (1) make the recommendations and implementation guidance accessible and engaging for busy educators, (2) create a structure for learning and applying practices throughout a school year, (3) promote collaborative learning and planning among teachers, and (4) offer tools for sustaining practices over time. The toolkit will be a one-stop shop that enables schools and educators to access all supports in one place, complemented by diagnostic tools to assess practices and resources for school leaders to institutionalize practices over time. Incorporating multimedia resources that are easy to navigate will make the toolkit more inviting and will facilitate the reinforcement of concepts that are difficult to learn through text alone. To provide context for the impact findings and inform further development of the toolkit, the evaluation will examine teachers’ experiences and engagement in toolkit activities, the learning modules completed, challenges encountered and suggested solutions, feedback on areas to improve the toolkit and institutional supports, and the extent to which the professional development in writing instruction received by teachers differs between treatment and control schools. Obtaining feedback on improving the toolkit, regardless of whether the impact findings are positive, is critical to ensure that the toolkit is as useful as possible to districts, schools, and teachers when they implement the evidence-based practices.

Use of Lead Free Pipes, Fittings, Fixtures, Solder and Flux for Drinking Water (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act of 2011 (RLDWA, the Act) modified the technical definition of lead free by lowering the maximum lead content of pipes, fittings, and fixtures from 8% to 0.25% and introduced greater complexity to calculating lead free by requiring that level be met based on a weighted average of wetted surfaces. The Act also created exemptions for certain plumbing products from pre-existing lead free requirements. The final rule establishes product certification requirements for products intended for potable use applications in public water systems and residential or non-residential facilities to demonstrate compliance with the lead free requirements. EPA expects that these requirements for lead content in plumbing materials used in new installations and repairs will result in fewer sources of lead in drinking water and, consequently, will reduce adverse health effects associated with exposure to lead in drinking water. Manufacturers with 10 or more employees or importers entering products purchased from or manufactured by manufacturers with 10 or more employees must demonstrate compliance with the lead free definition by obtaining third party certification by an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited, third party certification body. Firms with fewer than 10 employees can use a third party certification body or self-certify that their products conform to the Safe Drinking Water Acts (SDWA) lead free requirements. This self-certification option also extends to custom fabricated products regardless of a manufacturers number of employees. This rule imposes a burden on states to enforce the statutory provisions in SDWA Section 1417(a)(1), which cross references updated statutory definition of lead free within the meaning of SDWA Section 1417(d) according to the 2011 Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act and the 2013 Community Fire Safety Act.
