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.

Declaration for Importation or Exportation of Fish or Wildlife, 50 CFR 14.61-14.64 and 14.94(k)(4)

Key Information

Abstract

With few exceptions, businesses or individuals must file FWS Form 3-177 with the Fish and Wildlife Service prior to importing into or exporting from the United States any fish, wildlife, or wildlife products. The information on FWS Form 3-177 helps us fulfill the statutory requirements of the Endangered Species Act and our obligations under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. This request updates our collection of Form 3-177 through paper and eDecs to reflect 2016 shipment figures. It also breaks down collection by imports and exports rather than total collections as previously reported in order to provide a better correlation to other electronic systems. Primarily, however, we are requesting approval for electronic collection of data through ACE as an alternative electronic option for importers and exporters to eDecs. The Safe Port Act requires the Service to participate in the International Trade Data System and the Executive Order on Streamlining Exports and Imports establishes U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) as the primary means for collection of international trade data by the government. The latter includes the use of Census’s Automated Export System (AES) to collect agency licenses and other permissions for exports. Although importers or exporters are not mandated to use ACE and AES to file Service data at this time, the Service will begin collection of data in ACE as an alternative to eDecs. If importers file in ACE, they will not file in eDecs. We provide estimates of burden and costs for these new electronic systems, although collection in ACE or AES has not yet begun. The burden information in this request lays out three categories of collection. First, we provide collection burdens and costs for collecting Form 3-177 and the accompanying documents in paper, and electronically in eDecs and ACE, broken down by imports and exports which reflect 2016 figures. Second, we provide the burden and cost of collecting the eDecs confirmation number in AES for exports. Third, we provide the burden and cost of collecting a disclaimer of “no wildlife” as part of automation efforts under ACE and AES. This submission also clarifies the submission of forms 3-177 will occur both electronically and via paper submission.

Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery (VBA, VHA, NCA)

Key Information

Abstract

Executive Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to provide service to the public that matches or exceeds the best service available in the private sector. In order to work continuously to ensure that our programs are effective and meet our customers’ needs, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect qualitative feedback on our service delivery for Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA); Veterans Health Administration (VHA); and National Cemetery Administration (NCA). By qualitative feedback, we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. The proposed information collection activity provides a means to garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training, or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between the VA and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.

Federal Student Aid User Experience Design Research Generic Clearance

Key Information

Abstract

Federal Student Aid (FSA) seeks an extension of its OMB Fast Track Process (5-day) generic clearance to continue to collect qualitative feedback for the Next Generation Financial Services Environment (Next Gen) program. The Next Gen initiative is a comprehensive, FSA-branded customer engagement layer that will create an environment where the Department’s customers will receive clear, consistent information and readily accessible self-service options at every stage of the student aid lifecycle. This collection of information is necessary to enable FSA to garner customer and stakeholder qualitative feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with our commitment to improving service and information delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. The insights collected from our customers and stakeholders will help ensure that users have a consistent, efficient, and satisfying experience with FSA’s programs.

Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Program: ORR-3 Placement Report and ORR-4 Outcomes Report

Key Information

Abstract

The Refugee Act of 1980, 8 U.S.C. 1522, amended the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a domestic refugee resettlement program that provides assistance and services to refugees resettling in the United States. With the enactment of this legislation, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) issued a series of regulations at 45 CFR Part 400 to establish comprehensive requirements for a State-administered refugee resettlement program including child welfare services to unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs). Originally, the program provided services for refugee youth arriving from overseas unaccompanied by a parent or adult relative. Over the years Congress passed laws making other special populations already in the United States eligible for the URM program. The URM program currently operates in 14 states and the District of Columbia and provides the same range of child welfare benefits and services available to other foster children in those states and the District as well as services required by ORR regulation. URM benefits and services are provided in accordance with State Title IV-B and IV-E child and family service plans, Federal and State regulations, and ORR policy guidance. Participants in the URM program are placed with licensed providers by the state or local government agencies based on the provider’s licensed capacity and the minor’s specific needs. The Director of ORR is required by the Refugee Act of 1980 to prepare and maintain a list of unaccompanied children who have entered the United States; the names and last known residence of their parents (if living) at the time of arrival; and the children's location, status, and progress. Additionally, the Act requires ORR to submit a report to the Congress each year which summarizes the location and status of unaccompanied refugee children admitted to the United States. ORR regulations at 45 CFR 400.120 describe the specific URM program reporting requirements prescribed by the Director, and these requirements are implemented through the ORR-3 and ORR-4 Reports. This information collection request is for a revision. Specifically, we request to extend approval for the ORR-3 and ORR-4 Report Forms with very minimal changes to the report forms; ORR proposes minor revisions to the form instructions to improve clarity in certain sections and provide additional guidance for providers on how to assess youth functioning.

LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND STATE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM 54 U.S.C. §200301 et seq

Key Information

Abstract

The Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (LWCF Act) (54 USC §200305) was enacted to help preserve, develop, and ensure access for the public to outdoor recreation opportunities. The LWCF Act provides funds for and authorizes Federal assistance to the States for planning, acquisition, and development of needed land and water areas and facilities. In accordance with the LWCF Act, the National Park Service (we, NPS) administers the LWCF State Assistance Program, which provides matching grants to States and through the States to local units of government. As used in this information collection request, the term “States” includes the 50 States; the Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands; the District of Columbia; and the Territories of Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. LWCF grants are provided to States on a matching basis for up to 50 percent of the total project-related allowable costs. Grants to eligible insular areas may be for 100 percent assistance. The LWCF State Assistance Program gives maximum flexibility and responsibility to the States. States establish their own priorities and criteria and allocate their grant money through a competitive selection process based on a Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan. Payments for all projects are made to the State organization that is authorized to accept and administer funds paid for approved projects. Local units of government participate in the program as subgrantees of the State with the State retaining primary grant compliance responsibility.
