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.

Application for Carrier Documentation

Key Information

Abstract

Form I-131A has two uses: 1) A lawful permanent resident, who is traveling overseas and is not in possession of a valid, unexpired Permanent Resident Card or other evidence of lawful permanent resident status, may use this form to apply for Carrier Documentation within one year of his or her last departure from the United States; 2) a non-immigrant who is traveling overseas on an Advance Parole Document (Form I-512 or I-512L) or Employment Authorization Document with travel endorsement (Form I-766), may use this form to apply for Carrier Documentation where his or her document has been lost, stolen, or damaged overseas and that document has not expired. In both of the above circumstances, the applicant must submit the application in person at a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate. The decision on Form I-131A is entirely discretionary and may not be appealed. Furthermore, DHS may revoke or terminate Carrier Documentation at any time. If the Form I-131A is approved, DOS will issue a boarding foil, generally valid for 30 days, which will allow the individual to board a vessel or aircraft, travel to the United States, and present him or herself at a U.S. port-of-entry. Carrier Documentation is not a guarantee of admission or other form of entry into the United States, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will carry out all required inspection procedures upon the alien’s arrival at a U.S. port of entry.

Procedures for Requesting a Chemical Risk Evaluation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR is related to regulatory requirements that implement provisions outlined in the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety of the 21st Century Act which passed in June 2016 and amended the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending the process for conducting risk evaluations under the TSCA to determine whether a chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment under the known, intended, or reasonably foreseen conditions of use, without consideration of costs or other non-risk factors, including unreasonable risk to potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations. EPA is reconsidering provisions of a 2024 amendment to the procedural framework rule for conducting such risk evaluations to determine whether they are consistent with the best reading of TSCA and whether they may impede the timely completion of risk evaluations and unnecessarily impair the effective and efficient protection of human health and the environment. Proposed revisions to the framework rule also include changes to the process by which a manufacture may request that EPA conduct a risk evaluation on a chemical for which they manufacture. This proposal would revise the criteria and information chemical manufacturers must provide for EPA to consider a chemical substance for risk evaluation, as well as the Agency's process and timing to review the request to determine whether to grant or deny. The information collection activities covered by this ICR are those carried out by a chemical manufacturer in requesting a specific chemical risk evaluation under TSCA be conducted by EPA.

Abstract

Information requested of contractors is specific to each contract and is required for Treasury to properly evaluate the progress made and/or management controls used by contractors providing supplies or services to the Government, and to determine contractors' compliance with the contracts, in order to protect the Government's interest.Emergency Justfication:The Department of the Treasury requests emergency processing under 5 CFR 1320.13 for two Information Collection Requests (ICRs) supporting the draft Acquisition Procedures Update (APU) 26-01, Mandatory Staffing Plan for All Small Business Preference Program Awards and Solicitations.
