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.

EPA's Light-Duty In-Use Vehicle Testing Program (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

EPA's light-duty in-use vehicle testing program provides a spot-check audit of manufacturers' compliance with the provision of the Clean Air Act. The ICR covers the solicitation of owners for participation, the responses of those who are interested in participating, and the additional information collected from those who do participate. Vehicle owners who volunteer to participate are required to provide information regarding their vehicle before it is eligible to be accepted for testing. The information includes identification of the vehicle, optional scheduled maintenance records where available, problems with the vehicle, etc. This allows the Agency to procure properly maintained and used vehicles for testing. This ICR renews only the light-duty portion of EPA's in-use testing programs; the heavy-duty and off-road portions will be renewed separately.

Land-Based Wind Energy Guidelines

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, working with the Wind Turbine Guidelines Advisory Committee, developed the Land-Based Wind Energy Guidelines (Guidelines). These voluntary Guidelines provide a structured, scientific process for addressing wildlife conservation concerns at all stages of land-based wind energy development. They describe a process for wind project developers to use to gather information to identify sites with low risk to wildlife, and to assess, mitigate, and monitor the potential adverse effects of wind energy projects on wildlife and their habitats. They also promote effective communication among wind energy developers and Federal, State, and local conservation agencies and tribes. These Guidelines are intended to: * Promote compliance with relevant wildlife laws and regulations; * Encourage scientifically rigorous survey, monitoring, assessment, and research designs proportionate to the risk to species of concern; * Produce potentially comparable data across the Nation; * Mitigate, including avoid, minimize, and compensate for potential adverse effects on species of concern and their habitats; and, * Improve the ability to predict and resolve effects locally, regionally, and nationally. Although the Guidelines are voluntary, they are designed to minimize impacts to wildlife, including species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C 703-712), Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668d), and Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531-1544), as well as species not afforded protection under these Acts, but which are potentially significantly impacted by wind energy development (e.g., sage grouse). The Guidelines are also consistent with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-667e) and Executive Order 13186, "Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds" (January 10, 2001). When used in concert with appropriate regulatory tools, the Guidelines form the best practical approach for conserving species of concern.
