Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker

ICR Definition

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.

Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify, or discontinue 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.

ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.

Abstract

Section 604 of the Social Security Act (the “Act”), as added by section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. No. 117-2 (Mar. 11, 2021) authorized the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (“CPF”). The CPF provides $10 billion in funding for the Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) to provide grant payments to States (defined to include the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), seven territories and freely associated states (including the United States Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau), and Tribal governments to carry out critical capital projects directly enabling work, education, and health monitoring, including remote options, in response to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)”. Section 604(b) of the Act prescribes that the $10 billion be allocated to eligible grant recipients according to a formula provided in the statute. Treasury has used this formula to calculate the CPF grant fund allocations for each eligible recipient and has posted these allocations on its website . In general, each state (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) will receive between approximately $107 million and $500 million, each of the seven named territories and freely associated states will receive approximately $14 million, and each Tribal government will receive approximately $167,000.

Abstract

NHTSA seeks approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of an extension of a currently approved collection of information (OMB Control Number: 2127-0039) for petitions from any interested person requesting a hearing to decide whether a manufacturer has reasonably met requirements for notification and remedy of safety defects or noncompliance with a Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS). The submission of a petition is voluntary, and 49 CFR Part 557 establishes procedures for the submission and disposition of petitions for hearings on the issues of whether the manufacturer has reasonably met its obligation to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a safety-related defect or noncompliance, or to remedy such defect or noncompliance free of charge. NHTSA’s estimate of the annual hour burden for this information collection remains at 1 hour. NHTSA’s estimate of the annual burden has changed from $0 to $7.95 to account for postage costs.

Abstract

This ICR estimates the burden commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers and motor carriers incur to comply with the mandatory reporting and recordkeeping tasks required for motor carriers to maintain driver qualification (DQ) files. FMCSA’s authority to require carriers to maintain DQ files is in 49 U.S.C. 504, 31133, 31136, and 31502; 49 CFR 391.51; and 49 CFR 1.87. A motor carrier is required to maintain specified information in a DQ file for each CMV driver it employs. The purpose of the information is to document the driver’s qualifications to operate a CMV. DQ files assist the motor carrier in assessing the safety risk of hiring an individual to drive a CMV. The DQ file documents that a driver: (1) is physically qualified to operate a CMV, (2) has the experience and training to safely operate the type of CMV he or she is assigned to drive, (3) has the appropriate driver’s license, (4) has not been disqualified from operating a CMV, and (5) has a history of avoiding high-risk behavior. The annual burden associated with this information collection consists of the Driver Hiring Process (IC-1), the Annual Review of Driver Qualifications (IC-2), the Limited Exemptions from Driver Qualification Documentation (IC-3), and the Driver Review and Rebuttal of Safety Performance History (IC-4). The DQ file assists Federal and State safety investigators in determining that motor carriers are weighing these factors in deciding who may drive CMVs on their behalf. Motor carriers collect and maintain part 391 information, and FMCSA does not require that information to be submitted to the Agency. A motor carrier must make the part 391 information available when an FMCSA or State investigator conducts an on-site review at the motor carrier’s place of business or terminal. The ICR is a revision due to the final rule titled Record of Violations and for the renewal of the ICR due to updated information relating to the driver population, turnover rates, and wage rate. FMCSA proposes to eliminate the requirement that drivers operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce prepare and submit a list of their convictions for traffic violations to their employers annually. This requirement is largely duplicative of a separate provision that requires each motor carrier to make an annual inquiry to obtain the motor vehicle record (MVR) for each driver it employs from every State in which the driver holds or has held a CMV operator’s license or permit in the past year. To ensure motor carriers are aware of traffic violations for a driver who is licensed by a foreign authority rather than by a State, that provision would be amended to provide that motor carriers must make an annual inquiry to each driver’s licensing authority where a driver holds or has held a CMV operator’s license or permit. This change would require motor carriers to request the MVR equivalent from Canadian and Mexican driver’s licensing authorities. FMCSA expects that removing the requirement for drivers to provide a list of their convictions for traffic violations to their employers annually would reduce the paperwork burden on drivers and motor carriers without adversely affecting CMV safety. IC-2.1, “Driver submits list of violations” and IC-2.2, “Motor carrier files list of violations in DQ file” are removed from the ICR in this revision, and the driver population has been updated.

Abstract

Section 60105 of 49 U.S.C. sets forth specific requirements a state must meet to qualify for certification status to assume regulatory and enforcement responsibility for intrastate pipelines, i.e., state adoption of minimum federal safety standards, state inspection of pipeline operators to determine compliance with the standards, and state provision for enforcement sanctions substantially the same as those authorized by Chapter 601, 49 U.S.C. A state must submit an annual certification to assume responsibility for regulating intrastate pipelines, and states who receive Federal grant funding must have adequate damage prevention plans and associated records in place. PHMSA uses this information to evaluate a state's eligibility for Federal grants and to enforce regulatory compliance. This information collection request requires a participating state to annually submit a Gas Pipeline Safety Program Certification and/or a Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Program Certification to PHMSA's Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) signifying compliance with the terms of the certification and to maintain records detailing a damage prevention plan for PHMSA inspectors whenever requested. The purpose of the collection is to exercise oversight of the grant program and to ensure that states are compliant with federal pipeline safety regulations. The requested revision updates the annual certification tool to streamline data fields and to update the civil penalty amount to current DOT levels.

Abstract

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148, enacted on March 23, 2010) as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-152, enacted on March 30, 2010) are collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act expands access to insurance affordability programs through improvements in Medicaid eligibility, enrollment simplification, the establishment of Affordable Insurance Exchanges ("Exchanges"), and coordination between Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Exchanges. Relevant to this Statement, the Affordable Care Act promotes a high level of coordination, simplification, and data sharing among State and Federal agencies for the purpose of a seamless and streamlined eligibility system. The Affordable Care Act allows for significant use of Web-based technology to provide information to the public and facilitate application and renewal functions. It creates a "no wrong door" approach to insurance affordability programs so that individuals will not have to apply to multiple programs. Nor will they have to repeat the application process if they initially apply to a program for which they are not ultimately determined eligible. It also provides a simplified process for maintaining coverage through a streamlined renewal process. The provisions of the Affordable Care Act relevant to this Statement are effective January 1, 2014. The proposed requirements for the collection and reporting of information and recordkeeping (collectively known as information collections) generally relate to ensuring data sharing and coordination among State and Federal agencies, recordkeeping efforts among State agencies, and the development of Web-based systems and notices in support of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Abstract

The OCC is revising and requesting a new OMB control number for its form titled “Qualifying Activities Confirmation Request Form,” which is currently approved under OMB Control No. 1557-0160. The form was created to address the need for a qualifying activities confirmation process that allows banks and interested parties to ascertain whether an activity qualifies under CRA. The process was well received and strongly supported among commenters on the OCC ANPR and NPR that resulted in the 2020 final rule. We believe that there remains widespread support for such a system. Based on these considerations, the OCC determined that it was important to implement a better designed system that more effectively and efficiently allows confirmation of qualified activities. A marked copy is included with the IC reflecting the changes to the form.

Abstract

DD Form 2875 documents the data elements necessary for validating the trustworthiness of individuals requesting access to Department of Defense systems and information. Executive Order 10450 “Security Requirements for Government Employment” establishes the security requirements for government employment. The requestor’s security requirements (background investigation and clearance information) are identified on the DD Form 2875 and validated by the cognizant Security Manager. Collection of the requestor’s security requirements information ensures that any system access granted is consistent with the interests of national security.

Why They Are Important

ICRs play a vital role in ensuring transparency and accountability in federal data collection. When federal agencies collect information from 10 or more "persons" (which includes individuals, businesses, and state, local, and tribal governments), they must submit an ICR to ensure that it fulfills their statutory missions, avoids unnecessary or duplicative requests, and minimizes burden on the American public. Additionally, Federal Register Notices (FRNs) and the opportunity for public comments provide a formal way for the public to be informed of proposed ICRs and participate in the process.

ICRs also serve as a key resource for tracking changes to federal data collections. The availability of detailed documentation, such as data collection instruments and methodologies, allows the general public to identify revisions in a timely manner. These may include revisions prompted by Executive Orders or statistical policies like OMB's Statistical Policy Directive No. 15 (SPD 15), which are often submitted as "nonsubstantive" or "nonmaterial" changes to a currently approved collection.[1] Furthermore, ICRs can help determine if a data collection has expired without renewal or has been intentionally discontinued. By reviewing ICRs, the public can better understand what data is being collected, how it evolves over time, and whether data collections have become inactive–often in response to shifting priorities and updated standards.

How To Use The Tool

The ICR tracking tool offers a user-friendly view of ICRs that have been recently submitted, reviewed, or are nearing expiration. By aggregating key data from individual ICRs, the tool allows users to view the current status of each request, including submission, conclusion, and expiration dates, details on whether any changes were made, authorizing statutes, and more. Users can search for specific information and filter results based on various criteria. If seeking additional information, various text fields are hyperlinked to the full ICR on RegInfo.gov and associated resources. The tool is updated on a daily basis to reflect the most current information available. Column descriptions are available below the table.
