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.

Confidential Close Call Transit Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Confidential Close Call Transit Program is a collaboration between the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), to improve safety practices in transportation on Bus and Rails. Close call events are potentially unsafe conditions that pose the risk of a more serious consequence. By studying close calls, preventative safety actions can be developed to prevent hazardous risks. The Close Call Reporting program with WMATA is a part of Close Call Data Program (CCDP) that has been designed to help adapt a confidential reporting system to the needs of the U.S. transportation industry. WMATA employees are often unwilling to report events that could result in adverse safety outcomes, because disclosure may result in discipline for the employee or fellow employees. Safety reporting programs like CCDP, address these concerns by collecting information securely and protecting the identity of the reporting employee. When individual close call events are analyzed collectively, the agency can identify safety hazards and develop solutions to these threats. Analysis/hazard identification from close call reports will also provide important overarching safety information to the transit industry as a whole while fostering a culture of safety.

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission has approved multiple versions of the CIP Reliability Standards submitted by NERC, partly to address the evolving nature of cyber-related threats to the Bulk-Power System. High impact systems include large control centers. Medium impact systems include smaller control centers, ultra-high voltage transmission, and large substations and generating facilities. The remainder of the BES Cyber Systems are categorized as low impact systems. Most requirements in the CIP Reliability Standards apply to high and medium impact systems; however, a technical controls requirement in Reliability standard CIP-003, described below, applies only to low impact systems. The Commission is currently revising CIP-003 on this submission of Docket No. RD23-3-000 to update CIP-003-8 to CIP-003-9.

JSC Form 1830 – Report of Medical Examination

Key Information

Abstract

Since the mid-1960s, neutral buoyancy has been an invaluable tool for testing procedures, developing hardware, and training astronauts. Neutrally buoyant conditions sufficiently simulate reduced gravity conditions, comparable to the environmental challenges of space. The Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) at NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) provides opportunities for astronauts to practice future on-orbit procedures, such as extravehicular activities (EVA), and to work through simulation exercises to solve problems encountered on-orbit. Per CX12-UWI0001, Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory Guest Diving Application Procedure, NASA allows non-NASA guest divers, typically non-federal photographers representing the media, opportunities to engage in the NBL diving experience. To participate, guest divers must present a dive physical, completed within one year of the targeted diving opportunity, for review by the NASA NBL Dive Physician. If the non-NASA guest diver does not have a current U.S. Navy, Association of Diving Contractors (ADC), or current Medical Examination of Divers (MA1) British standard for commercial diving physical, they are required to complete a medical examination, performed by a certified Diving Medical Examiner. The results of the physical will be documented on the JSC Form 1830/ Report of Medical Examination and presented to the NBL Dive Physician for review prior to participating in diving activities conducted at the JSC NBL.

Abstract

The Navy Chief of Information (CHINFO) is required to provide public affairs advice to the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations. In order to provide informed advice, it is critical that CHINFO be able to assess the current communication environment, including current public opinion of the U.S. Navy and its operations, the popular media or social influencers of that environment, and recent trends that have changed that environment. CHINFO collects quantitative primary research data quarterly using an existing online panel of at least 1,000 randomly sampled American adults. Information collected includes extent and type of media exposure to the U.S. Navy; knowledge of, favorability toward, and likelihood to recommend the Navy; knowledge of and confidence in the roles the U.S. Navy; opinions on ideal size of and budget allocation to the Navy; opinions of Navy's capabilities; and opinions of threats facing the Navy and other military services. Quantitative research is also conducted at Navy events to determine the events’ impact on Americans' perception of their Navy. The research will assist the Navy in understanding the impact the events have in influencing participants' perceptions of the U.S. Navy.

30 CFR 582, Operations in the OCS for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulfur

Key Information

Abstract

The OCSLA (43 U.S.C. 1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)(1)) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to issue regulations to grant to qualified persons who offer the highest cash bonus on a basis of competitive bidding, leases of any mineral other than oil, gas, and sulfur in any area of the OCS not then under lease for such mineral upon such royalty, rental, and other terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe at the time of offering the area for lease. Regulations at 30 CFR part 582 carry out these statutory requirements by regulating mining operations within the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, and sulfur and establishing a comprehensive regulatory program for such minerals. There has been no competitive leasing activity in the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, and sulfur for many years. Accordingly, BOEM has not generally collected information under this Part of its regulations. However, since these are regulatory requirements, the potential exists for information to be collected. Therefore, we are renewing OMB approval for this information collection. BOEM will use the information required by 30 CFR part 582 to determine if lessees are complying with the regulations for mining minerals other than oil, gas, sulfur. BOEM will also use the information to ensure that such operations are conducted in a manner that will result in orderly resource recovery and development, and the protection of the human, marine, and coastal environments and for technical and environmental evaluations which provide a basis for BOEM to make informed decisions to approve, disapprove, or require modification of the proposed activities.

3.7 GHz Band Relocation Payment Clearinghouse; 3.7 GHz Band Relocation Coordinator; 3.7 GHz Band Space Station Operators

Key Information

Abstract

Under this new information collection, the Commission will collect information that will be used to ensure that 3.7-4.2 GHz band stakeholders adopt practices and standards in their operations to ensure an effective, efficient, and streamlined transition. Status reports and other information required in this collection will be used to ensure that the process of clearing the lower portion of the band is efficient and timely, so that the spectrum can be auctioned for flexible-use service licenses and deployed for next-generation wireless services, including 5G, as quickly as possible. The collection is also necessary for the Commission to satisfy its oversight responsibilities and/or agency specific/government-wide reporting obligations. On February 28, 2020, in furtherance of the goal of releasing more mid-band spectrum into the market to support and enabling next-generation wireless networks, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, FCC 20-22, (3.7 GHz Report and Order), in which it reformed the use of the 3.7-4.2 GHz band, also known as the C-band. Currently, the 3.7-4.2 GHz band is allocated in the United States exclusively for non-Federal use on a primary basis for Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) and Fixed Service. Domestically, space station operators use the 3.7-4.2 GHz band to provide downlink signals of various bandwidths to licensed transmit-receive, registered receive-only, and unregistered receive-only earth stations throughout the United States.
