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.

Authorizing StatutesAbstractIn cases where claimants request a hearing after denial of their disability claim for Social Security, SSA uses Form HA-4632 to request information from the claimant regarding the medications they use. This information helps the judge overseeing the case to fully investigate: (1) the claimant’s medical treatment and (2) the effects of the medications on the claimant’s medical impairments and functional capacity. The judge makes the completed form a part of the documentary evidence of record, placing it in the official record of the proceedings as an exhibit. The respondents are applicants (or their representatives) for OASDI benefits or SSI payments who request a hearing to contest an agency denial of their claim. |

Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing StatutesPub.L. 101 - 391 3 (View Law) AbstractThe Federal Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Declaration Form, FEMA Form FF-USFA-FY-21-112 (formerly 516-0-1), is used to collect basic information on life-safety systems related directly to fire-safety in hotels, motels, and similar places of accommodation applying for inclusion on the NML. In completing the form, applicants—property owners, lodging managers, or their delegates—provide basic information including identification of the owner(s) of the property, the business’s Employer Identification Number (EIN), and provisions for life-safety from fire. The form requests specific responses from applicants as to the installation of smoke alarms in all guestrooms of properties submitted for listing on the NML. In addition, applicants must indicate if the lodging establishment has an automatic fire sprinkler system where the building is four stories or higher. Once approved for the NML, the database record for each lodging establishment is assigned a unique identification number (FEMA ID). The information is collected and distributed through an on-line, electronic database accessed through the USFA website. Information submitted voluntarily by lodging establishments is reviewed and if the criteria meet the requirements of Public Law 101-391, they are given a FEMA ID number and listed in the NML database. Federal travelers and the public seeking public accommodation with provisions for life-safety from fire access the NML through the on-line database and identify lodging establishments in the area to which they are traveling. |

Certification of Prison Records by Prison Officials
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes42 USC 405 (View Law) 42 USC 902 (View Law) AbstractSSA collects information needed to assign an SSN, as well as issue an original, duplicate, or corrected SSN card. SSA uses the SSN to keep an accurate record of an individual’s earnings, and to accurately pay benefits under the Social Security program. Inmates of Federal, State, or local prisons, either public or private (third party contracted by local, State, or Federal Government agency), may need an SSN card as verification of their SSN for school or work programs, or as proof of employment eligibility upon release from prison. Before SSA can issue a replacement Social Security card, applicants must show SSA proof of their identity. People who are in prison for an extended period typically do not have current identity documents. Therefore, under formal written agreement with the correctional institution, SSA contacts prison officials, and allows them to verify the identity of certain incarcerated U.S. citizens who need replacement Social Security cards. Inmates complete and sign Form SS-5 (OMB No. 0960-0066), Application for a Social Security Card, and a prison official certifies the inmate's identity using information found in the inmate's official file. Information prison officials provide comes from the official prison files sent on correctional facility letterhead; there is no standardized form used for this information collection. SSA uses this information to establish the applicant’s identity in the replacement Social Security card process. The respondents are prison officials who certify the identity of prisoners applying for replacement Social Security cards. |

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND LABELING FOR PLATFORM LIFT SYSTEMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES 49 CFR §§ 571.403 and 571.404
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes49 USC 301 (View Law) AbstractPlatform lifts are vehicle-mounted elevators installed in motor vehicles to aid wheelchair users and other persons of limited mobility to enter and exit vehicles. These platform lifts are installed by new vehicle manufacturers or alterers of motor vehicles, as well as modifiers of used motor vehicles. FMVSS No. 403 sets forth safety requirements for platform lifts on new motor vehicles that manufacturers and alterers must meet to prevent injuries and fatalities to passengers and bystanders during the operation of platform lifts. It also requires information about and instructions for the lift be placed in owner’s manuals, installation instructions, and labels placed on the lifts. FMVSS No. 404 requires new vehicles equipped with platform lifts to have the manufacturer information inserts in the owner’s manuals and lift operating instructions to be affixed to the vehicle near the lift controls. The information is collected when a new design occurs. The printing of inserts and labels occur as part of each manufacturer’s annualized production process. The information is used by platform lift installers to ensure lifts are installed correctly and by operators, both public and private, for awareness of operating capacity and maintenance requirements. The burden hours have changed from the estimates in the previous information collection request (ICR) because the hours for distribution of the information and labels has been considered in this collection adding 1,370 hours to the 192 burden hours in the previous ICR. The estimated printing costs have not changed from the previous ICR. |
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.
