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.

Prevention and Public Health Funds Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Program Information Collection
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing StatutesAbstractThe Administration on Aging (AoA), part of the Administration for Community Living (ACL), these data collection tools to monitor grantees receiving “Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Programs” cooperative agreements.” Grantee agencies through this program represent a variety of organization types, including state agencies, universities, and nonprofit organizations. Grantees are tasked with two primary goals: (1) significantly increase the number of older adults who participate in evidence-based falls prevention programs; and (2) develop a sustainable infrastructure for these proven interventions. ACL Falls Prevention grantees currently collect information at both the workshop and participant level. Specific to the workshop, information on workshop type, site type, location, start/end date, etc. is collected. At the participant level, de-identified demographic and health status information is collected prior to workshop participation. A sample of participants also completes a Post Program Survey to assess whether the program is achieving its intended outcomes, i.e., reducing falls risk factors and/or incidence. AoA funds a National Falls Prevention Resource Center(the “Center”) to provide technical assistance (TA) to ACL grantees as well as the broader network of organizations implementing evidence-based falls prevention programs. The Center developed a database, which grantees and other program sites use to provide data on their workshops. This system allows AoA regular monitoring of grantee performance status, including data analysis, maps, comparative charts, and identification of high- and low-performing grantees in order to identify and target TA needs. AoA uses the information from the PPHF Falls Prevention data collection tools to: 1) Comply with reporting requirements mandated by the authorizing statutes; 2) Collect data for performance measures used in the justification of the budget to Congress and by program, state, and national decision makers; 3) Effectively manage the Falls Prevention program at the federal, state, and local levels; 4) Identify program implementation issues and pinpoint areas for technical assistance activities; 5) Identify best practices in program implementation and building sustainable program delivery systems as well as develop resources to enable current and future grantees to learn from and replicate these practices; and 6) Provide information for reports to Congress, other governmental agencies, stakeholders, and to the public about PPHF Falls Prevention grantee progress. |

Authorizing Statutes42 USC 403 (View Law) AbstractSSDI recipients receive payments based on their inability to engage in SGA because of a physical or mental condition. If the recipients work, SSA must evaluate and determine if they continue to meet the disability requirements of the law. When an individual is unable to provide earnings information, and SSA does not have access to proof of earnings, we use Form SSA-L725 to request monthly earnings information from the applicant or recipient’s employer. SSA employees send the paper Form SSA-L725 to the employer to complete. SSA employees use the earnings data that the employer provides on the form to determine whether the claimant or beneficiary is engaging in SGA, since work above the SGA level can cause a cessation of disability benefits. While it is mandatory for applicants and beneficiaries to provide earnings information, the collection of this information is voluntary for respondents. The respondents are businesses which employ Social Security disability applicants and beneficiaries. |

SmartWay Transport Partnership (Renewal)
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing StatutesPub.L. 109 - 58 756(b) (View Law) AbstractThe EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) developed the SmartWay Transport Partnership (“SmartWay”) under directives outlined in Subtitle D of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 which calls on EPA to assess the energy and air quality impacts of activities within the freight industry. These activities include long-duration truck idling, the development and promotion of strategies for reducing idling, fuel consumption, and negative air quality effects. SmartWay’s objectives also are consistent with the Federal Technology Transfer Act and other laws that support collaborative partnerships between government and industry. SmartWay is open to organizations that own, operate, or contract with fleet operations, including truck and multi-modal carriers, air carriers, logistics companies, and shippers. Organizations that do not operate fleets, but that are working to strengthen the freight industry, such as industry trade associations, state and local transportation agencies and environmental groups, also may join as SmartWay Affiliates. All organizations that join SmartWay are asked to provide EPA with information as part of their SmartWay registration to annually benchmark their transportation-related operations and improve the environmental performance of their freight activities. A company joins SmartWay when it completes and submits a SmartWay Excel-based Partnership tool (“reporting tool”) to EPA. The data outputs from the submitted tool are used by Partners and SmartWay in several ways. First, the data provides confirmation that SmartWay Partners are meeting established objectives as in their Partnership Agreement. The reporting tool outputs enable EPA to assist SmartWay Partners in adjusting their commitments, as appropriate, and to update them with environmental performance and technology information that empower them to improve their efficiency. This information also improves EPA’s knowledge and understanding of the environmental and energy impacts associated with goods movement, and the effectiveness of both proven and emerging strategies to lessen those impacts. In addition to requesting annual transportation-related data, EPA may ask its SmartWay Partners for other kinds of information which could include opinions and test data on the effectiveness of new and emerging technology applications, sales volumes associated with SmartWay-recommended vehicle equipment and technologies, the reach and value of partnering with EPA through the SmartWay Partnership, and awareness of the SmartWay brand. In some instances, EPA might query other freight industry representatives (not just SmartWay Partners), including trade and professional associations, nonprofit environmental groups, energy, and community organizations, and universities, and a small sampling of the general public. |
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.
