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.

STOP Formula Grant Program Match Documentation Worksheet

Key Information

Abstract

The STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program was authorized through the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 and reauthorized and amended by the Violence Against Women Act of 2000, the Violence Against Women Act of 2005 and the Violence Against Women Act of 2013. The purpose of the STOP Formula Grant Program is to promote a coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to improving the criminal justice system’s response to violence against women. It envisions a partnership among law enforcement, prosecution, courts, and victim advocacy organizations to enhance victim safety and hold offenders accountable for their crimes of violence against women. The Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) administers the STOP Formula Grant Program funds which are awarded to states and territories to enhance the capacity of local communities to develop and strengthen effective law enforcement and prosecution strategies to combat violent crimes against women and to develop and strengthen victim services in cases involving violent crimes against women. Each state and territory must allocate 25 percent for law enforcement, 25 percent for prosecutors, 30 percent for victim services (of which at least 10 percent must be distributed to culturally specific community-based organizations), 5 percent to state and local courts, and 15 percent for discretionary distribution. VAWA provides for a 25 percent match requirement imposed on grant funds under the STOP Formula Grant Program. Thus, a grant made under this program may not cover more than 75 percent of the total costs of the project being funded. Under VAWA 2005, the state cannot require matching funds for a grant or subgrant for any tribe, territory, or victim service provider, regardless of funding allocation category. The state is exempted from matching the portion of the state award that goes to a victim service provider for victim services or that goes to tribes. Territories are also exempted in full. States can receive additional waiver of match based on a petition to OVW and a demonstration of financial need. OVW will look at the time of closeout at the entities and purposes of funds and base the required match on that. The purpose of this information collection is to provide a worksheet for documenting the amount of matching funds required at the closeout of a specific fiscal year award under the STOP Formula Grant Program. The type of questions on the worksheet will include award number, award amount, amount of funds sub-awarded to victim service providers for victim services or to tribes.

Human Space Flight Requirements for Crew and Space Flight Participants

Human Space Flight Requirements for Crew and Space Flight Participants

Key Information

Abstract

The information for this collection is mandatory. By statute, a license or permit is required for any person to launch a launch vehicle from or to reenter a reentry vehicle into the United States, and for a citizen of the United States to launch a launch vehicle or reenter a reentry vehicle outside the United States. In order to obtain and maintain a license or permit, a launch or reentry operator carrying crew or space flight participants must provide the information requested. The collection includes disclosure and reporting. The frequency of the collection is on occasion and depends on whether the information collection pertains to obtaining a license or permit, an individual launch or reentry, or hiring or contracting for a crewmember. The FAA would receive information on crew qualifications and training, operating training of crew, a verification program, and crew and space flight participant waiver of claims. The crew would receive information about how the United States government has not certified the launch vehicle as safe, and space flight participants would receive information about the risks of space flight. The information is used by the FAA, a licensee or permittee, a space flight participant, or a crew member. The FAA uses the information to ensure that a launch or reentry operation with a human being on board will meet the risk criteria and requirements to ensure public safety. For example, the FAA assesses crew qualifications and training, especially those of a pilot, to ensure that the pilot has the proper experience and skills to operate a launch or reentry vehicle without jeopardizing public safety. A space flight participant and crew member uses information provided by a licensee or permittee to ensure that he or she understands the risks of the launch and reentry. A licensee or permittee must inform each crew member and space flight participant in writing that the U.S. Government has not certified the launch vehicle as safe for carrying flight crew or space flight participants. In addition, a licensee or permittee must inform any space flight participant of the risks associated with launch and reentry activities. In turn, a space flight participant must provide written, informed consent as a way of showing that he or she understands the risks associated with participating in space launch or reentry activities, and that his or her presence on board the vehicle is voluntary. A licensee or permittee is responsible for ensuring that written, informed consent is received from a space flight participant before allowing a space flight participant to be on board a launch or reentry vehicle. The 2004 CSLAA mandates that flight crew and space flight participants execute a reciprocal waiver of claims with the FAA. As noted earlier, the 2015 CSLCA mandates that space flight participants also execute a reciprocal waiver of claims with a licensee. Prior to a mission, the FAA ensures these reciprocal waiver of claims are executed.

Sections 731 and 764 of the DFA require the registration and regulation of certain “swap entities”. For certain types of swap entities that are prudentially regulated by one of the Agencies ("covered swap entities"), sections 731 and 764 of the DFA require the Agencies to jointly adopt rules for swap entities under their respective jurisdictions imposing capital requirements and initial and variation margin requirements on all non-cleared swaps. The swaps-related provisions are intended to reduce risk, increase transparency, promote market integrity within the financial system, and, in particular, address a number of weaknesses in the regulation and structure of the swaps markets that were revealed during the financial crisis. The opacity of swap transactions among dealers and between dealers and their counterparties created uncertainty about whether market participants were significantly exposed to the risk of a default by a swap counterparty. The OCC, Board, FDIC, FCA, and FHFA (the Agencies) issued an interim final rule (Brexit Interim Final Rule) that addresses a potential impact of the scenario in which the United Kingdom (U.K.) exits from the European Union (E.U.) without a negotiated withdrawal agreement allowing financial services firms located in the U.K. to continue providing full-scope financial services in the E.U. The Brexit Interim Final Rule includes a new information collection requirement for transfers initiated by a covered swap entity’s counterparty. For those transfers, the counterparty must make a representation to the covered swap entity that the counterparty performed the transfer in compliance with the requirements of the rule.

Sea Lamprey Control Program

Key Information

Abstract

Service staff at the Marquette and Ludington biological stations fulfill U.S. obligations under the 1954 Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries between the United States and Canada and the Great Lakes Fishery Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 931). The Service works with State, Tribal, and other Federal agencies to monitor progress towards fish community objectives for sea lampreys in each of the Great Lakes, and also to develop and implement actions to achieve these objectives. Activities are closely coordinated with State, Tribal, and other Federal and provincial management agencies, nongovernmental organizations, private landowners, and the public. Our primary goal is to conduct ecologically sound and publicly acceptable integrated sea lamprey control. The Sea Lamprey Control Program is administered and funded by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) and implemented by two control agents, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, who often partner on larger projects. The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), a parasitic fish species native to the Atlantic Ocean, parasitizes other fish species by sucking their blood and other bodily fluids. Having survived through at least four major extinction events, the species has remained largely unchanged for more than 340 million years. The sea lamprey differs from many other fishes, in that it does not have jaws or other bony structures, but instead has a skeleton made of cartilage. Sea lampreys prey on most species of large Great Lakes fish such as lake trout, salmon, lake sturgeon, whitefish, burbot, walleye, and catfish.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service CITES Master’s Course

Key Information

Abstract

Wildlife trafficking ranks as the second greatest threat to species survival after habitat destruction. The United States (U.S.) recognizes wildlife trafficking as a serious transnational crime that threatens thousands of plant and animal species and undermines U.S. priorities, including national security, human health, and economic growth. The Service employs a science-based approach to counter wildlife trafficking, including through the implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). CITES is the sole global treaty dedicated to preventing the unsustainable trade in plants and animals and is an essential component to counter illegal wildlife trade as it provides mechanisms and incentives to effectively manage natural resources. The U.S. has been a Party to the Convention since 1973. Under the Endangered Species Act, the Service has been designated to carry out the provision of CITES for the U.S. To help develop the technical expertise necessary to effectively implement CITES, the International University of Andalucía (UNIA) has offered a unique master’s degree program entitled “The Management and Conservation of Species in Trade: The International Framework” (also known as the “CITES Master’s Course”). The program, which was established in 1997, provides high-quality training focusing on the scientific foundations, techniques and mechanisms of CITES implementation. Approximately 400 students have graduated from the program, many becoming leaders in CITES and global policy. Recognizing the important potential offered through UNIA’s CITES Master’s Course, the Service provides scholarships to support wildlife professionals interested in furthering their CITES expertise by partaking in the CITES Master’s Course, with a focus on countries most vulnerable to illegal and unsustainable wildlife trade. The competitive scholarships cover costs for tuition, lodging, and supplies, provide an opportunity for the scholars to participate in the CITES Conference of the Parties, and offer technical and financial research support.
