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

The Stakeholder Scheduling capability is a mobile application within the “CBP OneTM” app that will standardize and automate the manual process of brokers and travelers making and updating appointments with CBP for various services. Currently, Customs and Border Protection Officers (CBPOs) and CBP Agriculture Specialists (CBPAS) spend significant time exchanging phone calls, faxes, and emails from stakeholders to schedule inspection services. This includes inspections of perishable cargo, non-perishable cargo that have been identified as mandatory examinations, and commercial vessel and commercial or private air arrivals. Based on security vetting, CBP notifies stakeholders that certain cargo requires a scan by CBP Non-Intrusive Inspection technology prior to release. Stakeholders then schedule with CBP a time and location for the scans to be conducted. Pilots and other stakeholders contact CBP to schedule a time and location for the inspections of commercial and private carriers (including occupants) or commercial vessels upon arrival from foreign countries. Additionally, travelers who carry-on sensitive agriculture via air carrier are required to be inspected by CBP and they must notify CBP prior to their arrival into the United States. The following legal authorities permit CBP’s collection of border crossing information: Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), Pub. L. 108-458, 118 Stat. 3638; Immigration and Nationality Act, as codified at 8 U.S.C. 1185 and 1354; Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001 (ATSA); Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act of 2002; and Tariff Act of 1930 as amended, 19 U.S.C. 66, 1433, 1459, 1485, 1624, and 2071.

Abstract

FMCSA is seeking approval of a revision of the ICR due to 3 new information collection instruments, the new Electronic Log Device (ELD), Substance Abuse Practitioner (SAP), and Medical Review Officer (MRO) complaint forms and an increase in estimates of annual responses, respondents, annual burden hours, and respondent burden cost due to the year-over-year expected complaint increase. FMCSA maintains online information and resources to assist consumers, drivers, and others associated with the motor carrier industry to file complaints regarding household goods carriers, third party intermediaries (brokers and freight forwarders) and their financial responsibility providers, hazardous material (HM) carriers, property carriers, cargo tank facilities, and passenger carriers. The respondents of the collection therefore are the public, consumers, drivers, and the motor carrier industry. The NCCDB allows the public and FMCSA staff to submit complaints using an online form which lists individual violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety, Hazardous Material, and Commercial Regulations. The collection is voluntary and is one of reporting and disclosure. The purpose of the collection is to collect data by this system for FMCSA enforcement staff and state agencies to, among other things: help improve motor carrier safety enforcement; improve consumer protection by ensuring that moving companies use fair business practices; and identify and address passenger carrier discrimination and service issues. There is no determined collection frequency, the information is collected as needed. Complainants may visit the NCCDB online at http://nccdb.fmcsa.dot.gov, where they will be guided through the process of filing a complaint. The information reported and disclosed is information concerning the incident(s) that lead to different types of complaints concerning truck safety, moving companies, brokers, violations of the American Disabilities Act, bus safety, bus service, cargo tank facilities, and/or hazardous materials regulations. The online interface then leads them through the process by soliciting information about the incident giving rise to the complaint, contact information for the complainant (for follow up purposes), and company information. They also have the ability to upload supporting files/documents if any exist. DOT receives the information. At the end of the process, each complaint is submitted to the NCCDB, where it is directed to the proper FMCSA or DOT office for investigation.

Abstract

This collection is used by business firms which bring merchandise into a foreign trade zone, to register the admission of such merchandise to zones and to apply for the appropriate zone status. Foreign trade zones (FTZs) are geographical enclaves located within the geographical limits of the United States but for tariff purposes are considered to be outside the United States. Imported merchandise may be brought into FTZs for storage, manipulation, manufacture, or other processing and subsequent removal for exportation, consumption in the United States, or destruction. A company bringing goods into an FTZ has a choice of zone status (privileged/non-privileged foreign, domestic, or zone-restricted), which affects the way such goods are treated by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and treated for tariff purposes upon entry into the customs territory of the United States.

Abstract

FERC-556 in general. The data required under 18 CFR Section 131.80 and 18 CFR Part 292 are used by the Commission to determine whether a proposed certification for QF status meets the criteria for a qualifying small power production facility or a qualifying cogeneration facility under its regulations and is eligible to receive the benefits available to it under PURPA. In order to obtain QF status and obtain PURPA benefits, an owner or operator of a small power production or cogeneration facility must follow the process indicated in FERC Form 556 and select, at its option, either the procedure set forth in 18 CFR Section 292.207(a), which requires the submission to FERC of a self-certification or self-recertification, or the procedure set forth in 18 CFR Section 292.207(b), which requires the submission to FERC of an application for Commission certification or recertification. The information requirements for these two processes are largely the same (i.e., the submittal of a completed FERC Form 556 provides the information necessary to demonstrate compliance with FERC’s regulations). If FERC did not collect the FERC Form 556 information, there would be no basis for the Commission to determine whether a facility satisfies the requirements of QF status. Since revocation of the qualifying status of a small power production or cogeneration facility may occur if the facility fails to comply with any of the 18 CFR Part 292 criteria, private financial lenders to small power production and cogeneration power facilities occasionally require small power producers and cogenerators to follow 18 CFR Section 292.207(b) procedures (certification by FERC as opposed to self-certification) in order to reduce the risk of status revocation.

Abstract

The information the Commission collects with the FERC Form 561 (Annual Report of Interlocking Positions) responds to the FPA requirements for annual reporting of similar types of positions public utility officers and directors hold with financial institution, insurance companies, utility equipment and fuel providers, and with any of an electric utility's 20 largest purchasers of electric energy (i.e. the 20 entities with high expenditures of electricity). The FPA specifically defines most of the information elements in the Form 561 including the information that must be filed, the required filers, the directive to make the information available to the public, and the filing deadline. The Commission uses the information collected by the Form 561 to implement the FPA requirement that those who are authorized to hold interlocked directorates annually disclose all the interlocked positions held within the prior year. The Form 561 data identifies persons holding interlocking positions between public utilities and other entities, allows the Commission to review these interlocking positions, and allows identification of possible conflicts of interest.

Abstract

This proposed data collection for the Process Evaluation of the Aging Network and its Return on Investment is intended to provide timely information on, (1) how agencies in the Aging Network collaborate to serve older adults and family caregivers, and (2) how agencies measure the effectiveness of their efforts with the goal of strengthening their reach and impact. Through this data collection ACL will investigate how states differ in their network structure, how agencies work together, and potential strategies for evaluating return on investments (ROI) of ACL programs. The Process Evaluation of the Aging Network and its Return on Investment will include: (1) a census of agencies in the Aging Network, and (2) key informant interviews with agencies that are evaluating ROI. The survey seeks to collect data from all State Units on Aging (SUAs), Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) (including some Aging and Disability Resource Centers), and Older Americans Act Title VI Native American tribal organizations. Surveying these organizations will help ACL understand how and with whom agencies in the network collaborate to address the needs of older adults and family caregivers, partnerships that have formed or expanded because of COVID-19, and how agencies measure the effectiveness and ROI of their various programs. The study will also include key informant interviews with a subset of 10 agencies that responded to the survey whose responses indicate that their agency is evaluating ROI. The data collection team will ask in-depth questions about the costs and benefits included in ROI calculations, successes and challenges to evaluating ROI, and lessons learned that could benefit other agencies seeking to conduct their own assessment of ROI.

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.

OMB Control Numbers are formatted NNNN-XXXX, where the NNNN is the agency/subagency code, and the XXXX is a sequential number uniquely identifying the Collection within the agency/subagency’s ICRs.
