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.

Medicare Enrollment Application: Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Suppliers (Form 855S)

Key Information

Abstract

The primary function of the CMS 855S Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) supplier enrollment application is to gather information from a supplier that tells us who it is, whether it meets certain qualifications to be a health care supplier, where it renders its services or supplies, the identity of the owners of the enrolling entity, and information necessary to establish correct claims payment. The goal of this revision of the CMS 855S is to simplify and clarify the current data collection and to remove obsolete and/or redundant questions. Grammar and spelling errors were corrected. Limited informational text has been added within the application form and instructions in conjunction with links to websites when greater detail is needed by the supplier. To clarify current data collection differentiations and to be in sync with accreditation coding, Section 3D (“Products and Services Furnished by This Supplier”) has been updated. This revision does not offer any new material data collection.

Applications are only accepted during a 2-month period each year (August 1 - September 30), and the revised allocations for each participating lobster permit resulting from the transfers become effective at the start of the following Federal lobster fishing year, on May 1. This information allows NMFS to process and track transfers of traps through the Trap Transfer Program, and better enables the monitoring and management of the American lobster fishery as a whole.

Abstract

In March 2018, the Administration of President Trump launched the President’s Management Agenda (PMA) and established new Cross-Agency Priority (CAP) Goals. Excellent service was established as a core component of the mission, service, stewardship model that frames the entire PMA, embedding a customer-focused approach in all of the PMA’s initiatives. This model was also included in the 2018 update of the Federal Performance Framework in Circular A-11, ensuring ‘excellent service’ as a focus in future agency strategic planning efforts. The PMA included a CAP Goal on Improving Customer Experience with Federal Services, with a primary strategy to drive improvements within 25 of the nation’s highest impact programs. This effort is supported by an interagency team and guidance in Circular A-11 requiring the collection of customer feedback data and increasing the use of industry best practices to conduct customer research.

Swap Dealer and Major Swap Participant Conflicts of Interest and Business Conduct Standards with Counterparties

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission has adopted Subpart H of Part 23 of its regulations (EBCS Rules) and Commission regulation 23.605, requiring swap dealers and major swap participants to follow specified procedures and provide specified disclosures in their dealings with counter-parties, to adopt and implement conflicts of interest procedures and disclosures, and to maintain specified records related to those requirements. In addition, the Commission recently finalized certain exceptions from the EBCS Rules for certain foreign swaps in § 23.23(e). To the extent a swap dealer or major swap participant avails itself of one or more of these exceptions, when effective, § 23.23(h)(1) imposes information collection requirements in lieu of such requirements in the EBCS Rules. The information collection obligations imposed by the regulations are essential to ensuring that swap dealers and major swap participants develop and maintain procedures and disclosures required by the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and Commission regulations.

Abstract

The purpose of the information collection is to accomplish the mandate in § 40104 to “provide technical assistance on any other aspect of aviation safety that the Administrator determines is likely to enhance international aviation safety.” The information also informs the FAA’s International Strategy, which is the agency’s mechanism for fulfilling its international role. The information collection directly supports the FAA’s International Strategy by enabling the FAA to reshape and further strengthen its longstanding international contributions. Foreign affairs specialists assigned to the FAA Office of International Affairs will collect voluntary information from respondents (foreign counterparts, ICAO and its subsidiary organizations, other international organizations and fora, or from private foreign entities) verbally, in-person or telephonically, or in writing via letter, email, or other electronic means.This collection will occur as needed on an ongoing basis and is considered “reporting.” The information that would be reported to the FAA by respondents is a foreign state, region, or organization’s aviation system information. For example, when considering a request or proposal for technical assistance, the FAA Office of International Affairs may collect information from a foreign civil aviation authority that discloses their air traffic management policies, procedures, and training. The FAA Office of International Affairs would use this information to evaluate the merits of the technical assistance request or proposal. The information collected would enable a more data-informed decision about how to best address the core matter in the most efficient and effective way, be it through training, supply support, other advisory services, referral to other non-U.S.-government resources, or denying the request or proposal. Although the information collected may be not expected to be disseminated directly to the public, results may be used in management, technical or general informational publications.
