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 Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) provides that those on active duty military service are entitled to have an interest rate in excess of 6% be capped at 6% for the duration of their qualifying military service. The Department is requesting an extension of the currently approved information collection. These Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program and Direct Loan Program regulations have not changed. The regulations require a loan holder to match its database against the Department of Defense's Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) and automatically apply the interest rate limitation, as appropriate, to borrowers under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. The form in this collection would only be used in limited cases where the borrower is not found in the Defense Manpower Data Center, or does not have a copy of military orders, but still wishes to receive benefits under the SCRA.

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart JJ) apply to both existing and new wood furniture manufacturing operations that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). A major source is a stationary source or group of stationary sources that emit or have the potential to emit 10 tons per year (tpy) or more of a HAP or 25 tpy or more of a combination of HAPs. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. These standards also apply to existing and new incidental sources and to area sources. These sources are only required to maintain purchase or usage records demonstrating that they meet the definition for incidental or area sources. Incidental and area sources are not subject to any other provisions of these standards. An incidental source, as defined in these standards, is a major source that is primarily engaged in the manufacture of products other than wood furniture or wood furniture components, and that uses no more than 100 gallons per month of finishing material or adhesives in the manufacture of wood furniture or wood furniture components. An area source is any stationary source that is not a major source. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart JJ.

Abstract

The United States and Colombia negotiated the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement ("the Agreement"), which was implemented into U.S. law pursuant to the United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement Implementation Act ("the Act"). The Agreement entered into force on May 15, 2012. Under the provisions of the Act, textile and apparel goods must contain fibers, yarns, and fabrics produced in Colombia or the United States to receive duty-free tariff treatment. The Agreement also provides for the establishment of a list of specific fibers, yarns, and fabrics that are not available in commercial quantities in a timely manner from producers in the United States or Colombia. Articles containing these commercially unavailable fibers, yarns, and fabrics are also entitled to duty-free or preferential duty treatment despite not being produced in the United States or Colombia. The list of commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns, and fibers may be changed pursuant to the commercial availability provision of the Agreement and the Act. Under Section 203(o) of the Act ("the commercial availability provision"), interested entities from Colombia or the United States have the right to request that a specific fiber, yarn, or fabric be added to, or removed from, the list of commercially unavailable fibers, yarns, and fabrics. Section 203(o) of the Act requires that the President establish procedures for parties to follow when exercising the right to make these requests. The President delegated the responsibility for publishing the procedures and administering commercial availability requests to the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements ("CITA"), which issues procedures and acts on requests through the Office of Textiles and Apparel ("OTEXA"). In accordance with the commercial availability provision, CITA has implemented procedures to collect certain information about the technical specifications of certain fibers, yarns, or fabrics and the production capabilities of U.S. textile suppliers to determine whether certain fibers, yarns, or fabrics are available in commercial quantities in a timely manner in the United States. The intent of these procedures is to foster trade in U.S. and Colombian textile and apparel articles by allowing non-originating fibers, yarns, and fabrics to be placed on or removed from a list of items not available in commercial quantities, on a timely basis, and in a manner that is consistent with normal business practice. To this end, these procedures are intended to facilitate the transmission, on a timely basis, of requests for commercial availability determinations and offers to supply the products that are the subject of the requests; have the market indicate the availability of the supply of the subject products; make available promptly, to interested entities and parties, information received regarding the requests for products and offers to supply; ensure wide participation by interested entities and parties; provide careful scrutiny of information provided to substantiate order requests and responses with offers to supply; and provide timely public dissemination of information used by CITA in making commercial availability determinations. CITA must collect certain information about fabric, yarn, or fiber technical specifications and the production capabilities of Colombian and U.S. textile producers to determine whether certain fabrics, yarns, or fibers are available in commercial quantities in a timely manner in the United States or Colombia, subject to Section 203(o) of the Act.

Abstract

The ESRD Network Peer Mentoring Program is voluntary program designed to provide patient peer support to people with kidney disease. In part, the peer support is beneficial because patients can give each other something most practitioners do not have, lived experience with kidney disease. The support and perspective of someone who has “been there” can help people cope better with their circumstances. Peer mentors and mentees will complete an online application form via JIRA/Confluence. Information collection will be stored in an ATO approved location on the HICQS server. The collection includes: First and Last Name, City, State, Email address, Phone Number, best time of day to be contacted, age range (not specific age), length of time range (not specific years) as an ESRD patient, current treatment modality, facility name, city, state, zip code, prefer to be a mentor or mentee, peer gender preference, topics of interest (new to dialysis, ESRD overview, home modalities, transplant), hobbies, skills, vocation, preferred language, internet access, and disposition towards meeting and conversations with new people. The information collected on the ESRD Network Program Peer Mentoring Peer Application will be used solely for the purpose of matching mentors and mentees based on the information collected.

Abstract

Part 54 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), establishes license renewal requirements for commercial nuclear power plants and describes the information that licensees must submit to the NRC when applying for a license renewal. The application must contain information on how the licensee will manage the detrimental effects of age-related degradation on certain plant systems, structures, and components so as to continue the plant's safe operation during the renewal term. The NRC needs this information to determine whether the licensee's actions will be effective in assuring the plants' continued safe operation during the period of extended operation. Holders of renewed licenses must retain in an auditable and retrievable form, for the term of the renewed operating license, all information and documentation required to document compliance with 10 CFR Part 54. The NRC needs access to this information for continuing effective regulatory oversight.

Abstract

The National Land Remote Sensing Education, Outreach and Research Activity (NLRSEORA) promotes the uses of space-based land remote sensing data and technologies through education and outreach at the State and local level and through university based and collaborative research projects. Nonprofit organizations, Public and Private colleges and universities may apply for financial support by completing forms SF 424, SF 424a and SF 424b (the paperwork burden for these forms have been previously approved). After acceptance, progress reports covering each year's activities and one final report at the end of the grant period must be submitted as described in the award terms and conditions.

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.
