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.

Rule 13e-1

Key Information

Abstract

Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) makes it unlawful for an issuer to purchase its own equity securities unless the purchase is in compliance with such rules and regulations as set forth by the Commission for protection of public interest or for the protection of the investors. In order to facilitate compliance with Section 13(e), the Commission adopted Rule 13e-1 (17 CFR 240.13e-1). Rule 13e-1 states that an issuer that has received notice that it is the subject of a tender offer made under Section 14(d)(1) of the Act, that has commenced under Rule 14d-2, cannot purchase any of its equity securities during the tender offer unless the issuer first files a statement with the Commission containing the required information under Rule 13e-1. This rule is in keeping with the Commission’s statutory responsibility to prescribe rules and regulations that are necessary for the protection of investors. A principal function of the Federal securities laws’ disclosure provisions is to make information available to the securities markets. The Commission uses very little of the collected information for itself, except on an occasional basis in the enforcement of the securities laws. The information required by the Commission assures the public availability and dissemination of such information.

Request an Individual's Ethics Documents

Key Information

Abstract

The OGE Form 201 collects certain information from, and provides certain information to, persons who seek access to public financial disclosure reports and to other covered records. The form, with the proposed modifications, reflects the requirements of the Ethics in Government Act, including the Representative Louise McIntosh Slaughter Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK Act), as amended in 2013. These requirements relate to information collected about the identity of the requester, as well as any other person on whose behalf a record is sought, and requires that the requester acknowledge his or her awareness of the legal uses of the information contained in public financial disclosure reports and potential civil penalties for persons who obtain or use a public financial disclosure report for a prohibited purpose. The form also alerts requestors that intentional falsification of the information required by the form may result in prosecution under 18 U.S.C. section 1001. Requestors are mostly members of the public, particularly representatives of the news media, public interest groups, and private citizens, with some Federal agencies and employees.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2027

Key Information

Abstract

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in various subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, U.S. history, and civics. NAEP is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education. NCES is responsible for designing and executing the assessment, including designing the assessment procedures and methodology, developing the assessment content, selecting the final assessment content, sampling schools and students, recruiting schools, administering the assessment, scoring student responses, determining the analysis procedures, analyzing the data, and reporting the results. The National Assessment Governing Board (henceforth referred to as the Governing Board or NAGB), appointed by the Secretary of Education but independent of the Department, is a bipartisan group whose members include governors, state legislators, local and state school officials, educators, business representatives, and members of the general public. The Governing Board sets policy for NAEP and is responsible for developing the frameworks and test specifications that serve as the blueprint for the assessments. NAEP consists of two assessment programs: the NAEP Long-term Trend (LTT) assessment and the main NAEP assessment. The LTT assessments are given at the national level only and are administered to students at ages 9, 13, and 17 in a manner that is very different from that used for the main NAEP assessments. LTT reports mathematics and reading results that present trend data since the 1970s. LTT does not provide scores for individual students or schools. The main NAEP assessments report current achievement levels and trends in student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 for the nation and, for certain assessments (e.g., reading and mathematics), states and select urban districts (i.e., Trial Urban District Assessment, or TUDA). The main NAEP assessments provide results on subject-matter achievement, instructional experiences, and school environment for different student populations (e.g., all fourth-graders) and groups within those populations (e.g., sex [male and female students], race/ethnicity groups). NAEP does not provide scores for individual students or schools. The NAEP assessments contain two different types of items: “cognitive” assessment items, which measure what students know and can do in an academic subject, and “survey” or “non-cognitive” items, which gather information such as demographic variables, as well as construct-related information, such as courses taken. The survey portion includes a collection of data from students, teachers, and school administrators. Since NAEP assessments are administered uniformly using the same sets of test forms across the nation, NAEP results serve as a common metric for all states and select urban districts. The assessment stays essentially the same from year to year, with only carefully documented changes. This permits NAEP to provide a clear picture of student academic progress over time. The possible universe of student respondents for NAEP 2027 is estimated to be 12,000 students at grade 8 attending the approximately 308 public and private schools in a variety of states and the District of Columbia and may include Bureau of Indian Education Schools. This request is to conduct NAEP in 2027, specifically for the Grade 8 Science Pilot. NAEP will administer the assessment using school devices and the internet. For schools that cannot meet the minimum specification for the use of school devices, NAEP will provide an alternate delivery model utilizing NAEP Chromebooks. NAEP has transitioned to primarily administer on school devices with a staged approach so that trends can be measured across time. NAEP conducted a School-based Equipment study in 2024 (OMB #1850-0803 v.347)

Protections for Transit Workers under Section 5333(b) Urban Program

Key Information

Abstract

Under 49 U.S.C. 5333(b), when Federal funds are used to acquire, improve, or operate a transit system, the Department must ensure that the recipient of those funds establishes arrangements to protect the rights of affected transit employees. Federal law requires such arrangements to be ``fair and equitable,'' and the Department of Labor (DOL or "the Department") must certify the arrangements before the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) can award certain funds to grantees. These employee protective arrangements must include provisions that may be necessary for the preservation of rights, privileges, and benefits under existing collective bargaining agreements or otherwise; the continuation of collective bargaining rights; the protection of individual employees against a worsening of their positions related to employment; assurances of employment to employees of acquired transportation systems; assurances of priority of reemployment of employees whose employment is ended or who are laid off; and paid training or retraining programs. 49 U.S.C. 5333(b)(2). Pursuant to 29 CFR Part 215, upon receipt of copies of applications for Federal assistance subject to 49 U.S.C. 5333(b) from the FTA, together with a request for the certification of employee protective arrangements from the Department of Labor, DOL will process those applications, which must be in final form. The FTA will provide the Department with the information necessary to enable the Department to process employee protections for certification of the project. This ICR contains the information collected when DOL refers for review the grant application and the proposed terms and conditions to unions representing transit employees in the service area of the project and to the applicant and/or sub-recipient.

Federal-State Unemployment Insurance Program Data Exchange Standardization

Key Information

Abstract

The Department is required by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 to designate eXtensible Markup Language (XML) as a data exchange standard. The data exchange standards help improve the interoperability of these systems that collect and exchange information for UI administrative purposes. Through this regulation, the Department makes use of data exchange standards for ICON and SIDES. To improve UI program operations by states, the Department has been the facilitating entity for development and implementation of automated systems that states may adopt for efficiently processing claims and improving program integrity. These automated systems, which have been developed through a collaborative effort with states and the National Association of Workforce Agencies (NASWA), have replaced manual paper processing with automated exchanges of information between states as well as those between states and employers. The Department provides funding to facilitate the development and implementation of these automated systems, and encourages the use of these systems by states. The Federal requirement to use this standard requires the Department to establish, through regulation, that all such exchanges of electronic information must use XML to comply with the Act.

Key Information

Abstract

Section 19(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 authorizes the Commission to regulate registered investment company (“fund”) distributions of long-term capital gains made more frequently than once every twelve months. Accordingly, rule 19b-1(e) permits a fund to apply to the Commission for permission to distribute long-term capital gains that would otherwise be prohibited by the rule if the fund did not foresee the circumstances that created the need for the distribution. The application must set forth the pertinent facts and explain the circumstances that justify the distribution. An application that meets those requirements is deemed to be granted unless the Commission denies the request within 15 days after the Commission receives the application. Rule 19b-1(e) allows a fund, in unforeseen circumstances, to request timely authorization to make a distribution that would not otherwise be permitted by the rule. The Commission uses the information required by paragraph (e) to determine whether a request should be granted under this paragraph.

Form 4 - Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities

Key Information

Abstract

Form 4 is a statement of changes in beneficial ownership of equity securities required to be filed by officers, directors and ten percent holders of companies with securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.Emergency Justfication:The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) is requesting emergency consideration, pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 3507(j) as implemented at 5 CFR 1320.13, for OMB Control Nos. 3235-0104 (Form 3), 3235-0287 (Form 4), 3235-0362 (Form 5) and 3235-0328 (Form ID) in connection with Release No. 34-104903 (“Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act Disclosure” final rule release). On December 18, 2025, Congress enacted the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act (HFIA Act). The HFIA Act amended Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) to require every person who is a director or an officer of a “foreign private issuer,” as that term is defined in 17 CFR 240.3b-4, with a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (but not 10 percent holders of FPIs) to file Form 3, Form 4, and/or Form 5. Paragraph (b)(2) of the HFIA Act states that the Section 16(a) amendments made by the HFIA Act shall take effect on the date that is 90 days after the date of enactment, or March 18, 2026. Paragraph (d)(1) of the HFIA Act required the Commission to issue final regulations (or amend or rescind, in whole or in part, existing regulations) to carry out the amendments made by the HFIA Act no later than 90 days after the date of enactment. The Commission’s final rules, adopted on February 27, 2026, included amendments to the General Instructions to Form 3 to clarify who needs to file the form under the HFIA Act, as well as some technical amendments to Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5. The amendments conformed these forms to the requirements of the HFIA Act. In order to file disclosures on Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5 on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”) (the Commission’s primary system for companies and individuals to submit documents pursuant to the federal securities laws), directors and officers of FPIs must apply for EDGAR access on Form ID. The final rules will not change Form ID itself, but we anticipate that the number of Form ID filings will increase. In light of the statutory requirement that directors and officers of any FPI whose securities were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g) of the Exchange Act as of the date of enactment of the HFIA Act file their initial reports with the Commission on March 18, 2026, and the related requirement that the Commission amend its rules to reflect the changes made by the HFIA Act by that same date, the Commission believes that the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to disrupt the collection of information mandated by the HFIA Act and cause the Commission to miss its statutory deadline to make conforming changes to its rules. In connection with this request, the Commission has determined: 1.The collections of information are needed prior to the time periods established under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and applicable regulations. 2.The collections are essential to the mission of the agency. 3.As discussed above, the Commission cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to disrupt a collection of information and cause a statutory deadline to be missed. 4.The Commission requests OMB approve or disapprove the collections of information by March 18, 2026.

Form 3 - Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities

Key Information

Abstract

Form 3 is an initial statement of beneficial ownership of equity securities required to be filed by officers, directors and ten percent holders of companies with securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.Emergency Justfication:The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) is requesting emergency consideration, pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 3507(j) as implemented at 5 CFR 1320.13, for OMB Control Nos. 3235-0104 (Form 3), 3235-0287 (Form 4), 3235-0362 (Form 5) and 3235-0328 (Form ID) in connection with Release No. 34-104903 (“Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act Disclosure” final rule release). On December 18, 2025, Congress enacted the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act (HFIA Act). The HFIA Act amended Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) to require every person who is a director or an officer of a “foreign private issuer,” as that term is defined in 17 CFR 240.3b-4, with a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (but not 10 percent holders of FPIs) to file Form 3, Form 4, and/or Form 5. Paragraph (b)(2) of the HFIA Act states that the Section 16(a) amendments made by the HFIA Act shall take effect on the date that is 90 days after the date of enactment, or March 18, 2026. Paragraph (d)(1) of the HFIA Act required the Commission to issue final regulations (or amend or rescind, in whole or in part, existing regulations) to carry out the amendments made by the HFIA Act no later than 90 days after the date of enactment. The Commission’s final rules, adopted on February 27, 2026, included amendments to the General Instructions to Form 3 to clarify who needs to file the form under the HFIA Act, as well as some technical amendments to Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5. The amendments conformed these forms to the requirements of the HFIA Act. In order to file disclosures on Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5 on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”) (the Commission’s primary system for companies and individuals to submit documents pursuant to the federal securities laws), directors and officers of FPIs must apply for EDGAR access on Form ID. The final rules will not change Form ID itself, but we anticipate that the number of Form ID filings will increase. In light of the statutory requirement that directors and officers of any FPI whose securities were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g) of the Exchange Act as of the date of enactment of the HFIA Act file their initial reports with the Commission on March 18, 2026, and the related requirement that the Commission amend its rules to reflect the changes made by the HFIA Act by that same date, the Commission believes that the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to disrupt the collection of information mandated by the HFIA Act and cause the Commission to miss its statutory deadline to make conforming changes to its rules.

Electronic Monitoring and Vessel Monitoring Systems for Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fisheries Temporary Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

This is a new, temporary collection of information pursuant to Amendment 15 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) (Amendment 15) and associated rulemaking, or RIN 0648-BI10. This temporary collection, OMB Control Number 0648-0816, was created due to timing conflicts with OMB Control Number 0648-0372, which came up for renewal before publication of the final rule for Amendment 15. Once 0648-0372 is renewed and the Amendment 15 final rule information collection is approved, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will submit a request to merge this temporary collection into 0648-0372. Amendment 15 will establish two pelagic longline (PLL) monitoring areas, in which PLL vessels that are approved to fish will be required to report interactions with select bycatch species by set via their vessel monitoring system (VMS) units. Several changes were made to this information collection (ICR) from the proposed to the final rule that resulted in changes to the burden and cost estimates for this collection. Previously, NMFS had proposed to make the pelagic longline fleet responsible for covering their EM monitoring costs consistent with the NOAA Cost Allocation Policy (Procedure 04-115-02). Based in part on public comment, NMFS has decided to maintain the status quo, and continue to cover these costs, for now, for vessels fishing outside of the proposed monitoring areas. However, vessel owners would still need to pay for and arrange for video review of sets from trips that occur wholly or in part in monitoring areas. Under the proposed rule, 100 percent of sets for trips that occurred within the monitoring areas were to be reviewed, but under the final rule that sampling rate has been lowered to 50 percent. To mitigate the economic impact of this added cost to the PLL fleet, NMFS is still establishing a vendor certification process to encourage additional EM vendors to enter the market, and decrease costs through competition and by leveraging the existing infrastructure of vendors already providing video services to other fisheries. However, vessel owners would only be allowed to employ these vendors for EM monitoring and video review for trips within the monitoring areas. For trips outside of monitoring areas, where NMFS will still pay for EM monitoring, vessel owners must continue to use the government contracted EM vendor. Additionally, NMFS has increased the effort caps for pelagic longline sets conducted within the monitoring areas, based on public comments expressing concerns that the proposed caps were too low to provide the needed data to evaluate the effectiveness of closed areas. This increase in the monitoring area effort caps will result in higher burden estimates as vessel owners will be required to submit effort and catch reports via their VMS units for each set within the monitoring areas.

Administration for Children and Families Uniform Project Description (UPD)

Key Information

Abstract

The Uniform Project Description (UPD) includes standard language and sections available for use by Administration for Children and Families (ACF) program offices to solicit the required project description and project budget information from applicants for specific funding opportunities. Applications are required for project grants and cooperative agreements as prescribed by HHS regulations 2 CFR 200.204. The UPD provides a selection of text options for the program offices to choose from, which are used to communicate the application requirements for a specific grant or cooperative agreement notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), as required by 2 CFR 200.204, and Appendix I to 2 CFR 200 – Full Text of Notice of Funding Opportunity. The UPD is fundamental to ACF’s competitive award process. It ensures the provision of adequate information to support award decisions. The ability to select the appropriate standard language for a given NOFO reduces the burden of application preparation, by eliminating unnecessary portions of the application for a given announcement. In addition, it provides for consistency and objectivity in the application and review processes required by 2 CFR 200.205. Attachment A includes relevant excerpts from 2 CFR 200. Since 2023, there have been two versions of the UPD: the traditional version and the streamlined version (SimplerNOFOs). ACF began piloting the SimplerNOFOs version of the UPD, as approved under this OMB number. SimplerNOFOs streamline the process for applicants and has been well received by programs and applicants. ACF has expanded use of the simplified version as a result. At this time ACF is requesting to transition completely to the SimplerNOFOs UPD but will retain two sets of instructions for now due to the way NOFOs are currently developed. The distinction is made in the instructions with the labels “SimplerNOFO” v. “Traditional NOFO”. Additionally, the following changes have been made: - Minor revisions for clarification and plain language purposes - Updated burden estimates to only include the SimplerNOFOs UPD. This current request is to extend OMB approval for one year while a larger revision effort is in process. A full revision request and a request for three years of approval will be submitted within the next year, which will be accompanied by two public comment periods.
