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.

Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices

Key Information

Abstract

A senior loan officer at each respondent bank completes this voluntary survey through an electronic submission, up to six times a year. Consistent with the Senior Financial Officer Survey (FR 2023; OMB No. 7100-0223), senior staff at the Reserve Banks with knowledge of bank lending practices serve as the main contacts for Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices (SLOOS) respondents in their district and help administer the survey. The current reporting panel consists of up to 80 large domestically chartered commercial banks and up to 24 large U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks. The purpose of the survey is to provide qualitative and limited quantitative information on credit availability and demand, as well as on evolving developments and lending practices in the U.S. loan markets. A portion of each survey typically covers special topics of timely interest. Although the Board has the authority to conduct the survey up to six times a year, the survey has typically been conducted only four times a year since 1992. Consistent with the FR 2023, other types of respondents, such as other depository institutions, bank holding companies, or other financial entities, may be surveyed, if appropriate. The respondents’ answers provide information that is critical to the Federal Reserve System’s monitoring of bank lending practices and credit markets. The Federal Reserve relies on the regular opportunity to solicit information from banks within the framework of the survey. Aggregated survey results from 1997 to present are available to the public on the Board’s website.

Data Security Executive Order

Key Information

Abstract

On February 28, 2024, the President issued Executive Order 14117 (Preventing Access to Americans’ Bulk Sensitive Personal Data and United States Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern) (the Order) pursuant to his authority under the Constitution and laws of the United States, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)

Registration of Municipal Securities Dealers (Form MSD, Form MSDW, and Rule 15Ba2-5 Statements)

Key Information

Abstract

Under Section 15B(a) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-4(a)), municipal securities dealers which are banks, or separately identifiable departments or divisions of banks (collectively, “bank municipal securities dealers”) are required to be registered with the Commission in accordance with such rules as the Commission may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors. Under Section 15B(c) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-4(c)), any registered municipal securities dealer may, upon such terms and conditions as the Commission may deem necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors, withdraw from registration by filing a written notice of withdrawal with the Commission. Rule 15Ba2-1 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-1) provides that an application for registration by a bank municipal securities dealer must be filed on Form MSD (17 CFR 249.1100). Rule 15Ba2-1 further provides that if the information contained in any application for registration on Form MSD, or in any amendment to such application, is or becomes inaccurate for any reason, the applicant must promptly file an amendment on Form MSD correcting such information. Rule 15Ba2-4 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-4) permits the successor to a registered municipal securities dealer to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of the predecessor’s business provided certain requirements are met, including the filing of a successor application on Form MSD. Rule 15Bc3-1 (17 CFR 240.15Bc3-1) provides that bank municipal securities dealers that wish to withdraw from registration must file a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form MSDW (17 CFR 249.1110). Rule 15Bc3-1 further provides that, prior to filing a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form MSDW, a bank municipal securities dealer must amend Form MSD in accordance with Rule 15Ba2-1(b) to update any inaccurate information. Rule 15Ba2-5 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-5) permits a duly appointed (or duly qualified) fiduciary to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of a registered municipal securities dealer’s business. Under the rule, the registration of a municipal securities dealer is deemed to be the registration of any fiduciary, appointed or qualified by order, judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction to continue the business of such municipal securities dealer, provided that such fiduciary files with the Commission, within 30 days after entering upon the performance of his duties, a statement setting forth as to such fiduciary substantially the same information required by Form MSD or Form BD (“Rule 15Ba2-5 Statement”). The Commission uses the information obtained from Form MSD, Form MSDW, and Rule 15Ba2-5 Statement filings to, among other things, determine whether bank municipal securities dealers, their Rule 15Ba2-4 successors, and their Rule 15Ba2-5 fiduciaries meet the standards for registration set forth in the Exchange Act, and whether it is in the public interest to permit a bank municipal securities dealer to withdraw its registration. Certain provisions of Rule 15Ba2-4 and Rule 15Bc3-1 apply to non-bank municipal securities dealers which make registration filings on the standard forms for brokers and dealers (Form BD instead of Form MSD, and Form BDW instead of Form MSDW). Burden estimates for such non-bank municipal securities dealers are accounted for in the Supporting Statements for Form BD (OMB Control No. 3235-0012) and Form BDW (OMB Control No. 3235-0018) and are not included herein.

Rail Carrier and Tank Car Tanks Requirements, Rail Tank Car Tanks - Transportation of Hazardous Materials by Rail

Key Information

Abstract

This is to request the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) three-year renewal with change of the information collection titled, “Rail Carrier and Tank Car Tanks Requirements, Rail Tank Car Tanks – Transportation of Hazardous Materials by Rail” under OMB Control No. 2137-0559, which is currently due to expire on November 30, 2026. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has collected information related to transportation by rail car since the creation of the DOT in 1967. This OMB control number was first approved on March 7, 1984, and was initiated as a result of an information collection for the approval of tank cars for Hyrdocyancic Acid Service. This OMB Control Number was broadened on January 17, 1986, to include rail carrier and tank car requirements that contained information collections. The requested change stems from a final rule published on June 24, 2024, titled “Hazardous Materials: FAST Act Requirements for Real-Time Train Consist Information” [HM-263; 89 FR 52956], which require all railroads to generate in electronic form, maintain, and provide to first responders, emergency response officials, and law enforcement personnel, certain information regarding hazardous materials in rail transportation to enhance emergency response and investigative efforts.

Notice of Proposed Stock Redemption

Key Information

Abstract

The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act) and Board’s Regulation Y - Bank Holding Companies and Change in Bank Control (12 CFR 225) require a bank holding company (BHC) to seek the prior approval of the Board before purchasing or redeeming its equity securities in certain circumstances. Due to the limited information that a BHC must provide in connection with any such request, there is no required reporting form, and each request for prior approval is generally filed 30 days before the proposed stock purchase or redemption as a notification with the Reserve Bank that has direct supervisory responsibility for the requesting BHC. The Federal Reserve uses the information provided in the redemption notice to supervise BHCs.

Domestic Finance Company Report of Consolidated Assets and Liabilities

Key Information

Abstract

The voluntary FR 2248 is collected monthly as of the last calendar day of the month from a stratified sample of finance companies. Each monthly report collects balance sheet data on major categories of consumer and business credit receivables and on major short-term liabilities. For quarter-end months (March, June, September, and December), additional asset and liability items are collected to provide a full balance sheet. A supplemental section collects data on securitized assets. Board staff may ask either quantitative or qualitative questions through the use of a special addendum section no more than twice per year. The data are used to construct universe estimates of finance company holdings, which are published in the monthly statistical releases Finance Companies (G.20) and Consumer Credit (G.19), and in the quarterly statistical release Financial Accounts of the United States (Z.1).

Subject to OMB approval, the Commission intends to consolidate this information collection into revised OMB Control No. 3235-0083 and ultimately discontinue this control number. Rule 15Ba2-5 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-5) permits a duly appointed (or duly qualified) fiduciary to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of a registered municipal securities dealer’s business. Without the rule, the fiduciary would not be able to assume operation until it registered as a municipal securities dealer. Under the rule, the registration of a municipal securities dealer is deemed to be the registration of any executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, trustee in insolvency or bankruptcy, or other fiduciary, appointed or qualified by order, judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction to continue the business of such municipal securities dealer, provided that such fiduciary files with the Commission, within 30 days after entering upon the performance of his duties, a statement setting forth as to such fiduciary substantially the same information required by Form MSD or Form BD (“Rule 15Ba2-5 Statement”). The Commission uses the information obtained from Rule 15Ba2-5 Statements to, among other things, determine whether the fiduciary meets the standards for registration set forth in the Exchange Act.

Rule 14f-1 - Change in Majority of Directors

Key Information

Abstract

Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) relates to the replacement of a majority of the directors of an issuer in connection with an acquisition subject to Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of such Act. Section 14(f) requires the issuer to provide all holders of record of securities of the issuer who would be entitled to vote at a meeting for election of directors and the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission, information concerning the replacement of directors that is substantially equivalent to that information which would be required by Section 14(a) or Section 14(c) if such persons were nominees for election as directors at a meeting of security holders. In order to facilitate compliance with Section 14(f), the Commission adopted Rule 14f-1 (17 CFR 240.14f-1), pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(e) as well as Sections 14(d) and 14(f). The rule requires that, not less than 10 days prior to the time the persons elected or designated as directors of the issuer take office, or such shorter period as the Commission may authorize, the issuer shall file with the Commission and transmit to all holders of record of securities of the issuer, information required by certain items of the Commission’s proxy rules. The rule is needed by the Commission to fulfill its statutory responsibility to prescribe the necessary rules and regulations for the protection of investors by requiring an issuer to apprise its security holders of record and the Commission of a prospective change in the majority of the board of directors of the company where such change is to be effected other than at a meeting of security holders and of information about the issuer’s prospective new directors. The information filed with the Commission assures the public availability and dissemination of such information. Private contractors reproduce much of the filed information and provide it to private parties. Many other persons obtain information directly from the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system, through which filings under the rule are made. This information is needed by security holders, investors, brokers, dealers, investment banking firms, professional securities analysts, and others in evaluating securities and making investment and voting decisions. If the information were not collected, the information the Commission deems necessary for the protection of investors regarding a prospective change in directors would not be available to the investing public prior to the time the change was actually effected.

Abstract

FINAL RULE - Alternatives to the Use of Credit Ratings The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations for approved financial assurance mechanisms for decommissioning, specifically for parent-company and self-guarantees that previously required bond ratings issued by credit rating agencies and now is replaced with a demonstration of a creditworthiness criterion. This final rule implements the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 that directed agencies to amend their regulations to remove any reference to or requirement of reliance on credit ratings. This final rule affects applicants and licensees who are required to provide decommissioning financial assurance. The information collections associated with the final rule have been submitted under the following clearance numbers: 3150-XXXX Burden for 10 CFR Part 30, Rules of General Applicability to Domestic Licensing of Byproduct Material (this is a temporary clearance number, 3150-0017 is currently unavailable for submissions due to the Regulatory Framework for Fusion Machines proposed rule) 3150-0011 - 10 CFR Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities 3150-0009 - 10 CFR Part 70, Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material 3150-0029 - 10 CFR Part 40, Domestic Licensing of Source Material

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), along with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) (collectively, the Agencies) in 2015 adopted joint regulations to implement statutory requirements to be applied by States in the registration and supervision of appraisal management companies (AMCs). An AMC is an entity that serves as an intermediary for, and provides certain services to, appraisers and lenders. The regulations also implement the statutory requirement that States report to the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC) of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) the information required by the ASC to administer a national registry of AMCs (AMC National Registry or Registry). FHFA, the OCC, the Board, and the FDIC have agreed to share responsibility for the PRA clearance of the collections of the information under the joint regulations. OMB has assigned FHFA’s portion of the information collection OMB Control Number 2590-0013.

Abstract

Sections 641, 641A (codified at 45 CFR 1301 to 1305), 642 to 645A, 648A, 653 to 657A of the Head Start Act (the Act) prescribes requirements eligible entities must meet in order to receive funding under the Act. Applicants are required to demonstrate that they are or will meet Head Start requirements when submitting applications for funding under the Act. To receive Head Start funding, Head Start grant recipients must apply for such funds. The Head Start Grant Application is used by the Office of Head Start to gather the necessary information from eligible entities applying for Head Start funding. This collection targets current Head Start grantees submitting non-competitive applications, including those applying for baseline funding (first year of a new grant period) and continuation funding (subsequent years in a project period). ACF requested changes to reduce the burden of these requirements related to documentation while still meeting the requirements under the Act. See Supporting Statement A for additional information. This request was approved but the final version of the Supporting Statement A was not included with the documents for approval. This nonsubstantive change updates to include the correct version.

Rule 701-Exemption for offers and sales of securities pursuant to certain compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation

Key Information

Abstract

Absent an available exemption, the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) requires that a registration statement be filed with the Commission disclosing prescribed categories of information before securities may be offered for sale. Where a registration statement is required, securities may not be sold to the public until the registration statement becomes effective. Congress recognized that in some situations there may not be a need for registration in connection with offers and sales of securities; it provided a number of exemptions from Securities Act registration and provided the Commission with authority to adopt exemptions from Securities Act registration. Rule 701 (17 CFR 230.701) provides an exemption from Securities Act registration for an issuer that is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“non-reporting issuer”) for offers and sales of securities under a written compensatory benefit plan or written compensation contract established by the issuer (or its parents, its majority-owned subsidiaries, or majority-owned subsidiaries of the issuer’s parent) for the participation of their employees, directors, general partners, trustees, officers, or consultants and advisors, and their family members who acquire such securities from such persons through gifts or domestic relations orders. The total sales price or maximum amount of securities that may be sold under Rule 701 during any consecutive 12-month period must not exceed the greatest of: (1) $1 million, (2) 15% of the total assets of the issuer (or its parent company if the issuer is a wholly-owned subsidiary, subject to certain conditions), or (3) 15% of the outstanding amount of the class of securities being offered and sold in reliance on Rule 701. All issuers relying on Rule 701 must deliver to investors a copy of the compensatory benefit plan or contract. In addition, if the total sales price or amount of securities sold during any consecutive 12-month period exceeds $10 million, the issuer must deliver the following additional disclosure to investors a reasonable period before the date of sale (or, for derivative securities, including options, the date of exercise or conversion, or, for deferred compensation or similar plans, the date the irrevocable election to defer is made): (1) a copy of the summary plan description required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) or, if the plan is not subject to ERISA, a summary of the material terms of the plan, (2) information about risks associated with investment in the securities, (3) the financial statements required to be furnished by Part F/S of Form 1-A under Regulation A, and (4) parent financial statements (where the issuer uses its parent’s total assets to determine the amount of securities that may be sold). The purpose of Rule 701 is to enable non-reporting issuers to compensate employees and others without registering an offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act, while requiring issuers, as a condition of reliance on the rule, to provide investors with certain information that is important to investment decision making.

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 17a-25(a)(1) requires broker-dealers registered with the Commission to electronically submit securities transaction information, including identifiers for prime brokerage arrangements, average price accounts, and depository institutions, in a standardized format when requested by the Commission staff. In addition, Rule 17a-25(c) requires broker-dealers to submit, and keep current, contact person information for electronic blue sheets requests. The Commission uses the information for enforcement inquiries or investigations and trading reconstructions, as well as for inspections and examinations. Therefore, Rule 17a-25 (17 CFR 240.17a-25) is a reporting requirement.

Stepped and Tiered Rent Demonstration Evaluation

Key Information

Abstract

Section 239 of the Fiscal Year 2016 Appropriations Act, P.L. 114-113 (2016 MTW Expansion Statute), authorizes HUD to expand the Moving to Work (MTW) demonstration program from the current size of 39 Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to an additional 100 agencies over a period of 7 years. The Statute directs HUD to add new MTW PHAs in cohorts, with each cohort testing a specific policy change so that HUD can conduct a rigorous evaluation of that policy’s effects. A copy of the relevant section of law authorizing the Department to undertake “such programs of research, studies, testing, and demonstration relating to the mission and programs of the Department” (12 USC 1701z-1 et seq.) is included as Appendix H. The second cohort of MTW Expansion PHAs will test alternative ways of setting rents in the public housing and housing choice voucher programs. The traditional rent policy (the Brooke rent) typically sets each household’s rent at 30 percent of their adjusted monthly income. This rent policy is administratively complex and burdensome for PHAs and assisted households. The Brooke rent is hypothesized to be a disincentive for households to increase their earnings, as $100 dollars of increased income would result in $30 of increased rent. In this project—the Stepped and Tiered Rent Demonstration (STRD)—PHAs will implement alternative rents that might be easier to administer and might incentivize assisted households to increase their earnings. Five PHAs will implement a stepped rent, under which a household’s rent will increase modestly each year regardless of their income. Five PHAs will implement a tiered rent, under which households are assigned to income-based tiers and rents are set based on the tier. Both policies will enable households to increase their income without causing an immediate rent increase. Both policies include hardship provisions to prevent high rent burdens. And both policies include less frequent income reexaminations, to reduce the amount of PHA staff time required to administer the program. The STRD will be implemented as a randomized controlled trial (RCT); eligible households (limited to non-elderly, non-disabled households) will be randomly assigned to the new rent policy, or to remain on the traditional rent policy. This design is the gold standard for program evaluation and will enable HUD to conclude whether the new rent policies caused any differences observed between the two groups over time. HUD’s evaluation is expected to last 6 years. HUD has contracted with MDRC to carry out the first phase of HUD’s evaluation, to launch the STRD and lay the foundation for a long-term evaluation. HUD has also allocated resources to support software modifications required by the PHAs to implement the STRD Demonstration. This new information collection has the following components in this collection, all of which are necessary for the evaluation to succeed.
