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.

Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

Abstract

Pursuant to delegated authority under the Defense Production Act (50 App. U.S.C. §§2061-2170), EO 13603, EO 12656, and 46 CFR 340; MARAD issues pre-emergency, standby Port Planning Orders (PPO) to the DoD-designated strategic commercial seaports (port) for providing port facilities to support military deployments during national emergencies. At DoD request (since the 1980's), MARAD has been collecting a Monthly Readiness Report from each port to validate the port’s ability to provide the PPO delineated facilities to DoD within the PPO delineated time frame. GAO Report GAO-14-184SU, dated February 02, 2014, recommended that MARAD collect additional data from the strategic commercial ports. DoD now requires this enhanced data on a quarterly basis for DoD contingency planning and readiness evaluation purposes. The collected information is required to obtain and/or retain benefits. All data collected from the strategic commercial seaports is maintained by the Office of the Associate Administrator for Strategic Sealift as For Official Use Only (FOUO) and is not intended for release to the public.

Abstract

In the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA)1, Congress directed the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating to require all crewmembers on vessels calling at U.S. ports to carry and present on demand any identification the Secretary decides is necessary. The Act also directed the Secretary to develop forms and processes for the identification and verification of crewmembers. Congress directed the Secretary to consult with the Attorney General and Secretary of State when developing these crewmember identification requirements. The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) delegated this rulemaking authority to the Commandant of the Coast Guard2 and directed the Commandant to develop these requirements in cooperation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). This information collection and the associated regulations fulfills Congress’ mandate to require that crewmembers on vessels calling at U.S. ports must carry and present on demand an identification that allows the identity of crewmembers to be authoritatively validated. The regulations are in 33 CFR Part 160 Subpart D. The statutory authority is 46 U.S. Code 70111.

Abstract

To determine if subsidy applicants or recipients qualify, or continue to qualify, for the subsidy, SSA conducts quality reviews of selected applications under the Medicare Quality Review System (OMB No. 0960-0707). As part of the quality review, SSA verifies claimants’ reported financial accounts as discussed in section 20 CFR 418.3420 of the Code of Federal Regulations. To complete this verification, SSA needs to obtain authorization from claimants to contact their financial institutions (FI) to verify the reported account balances. SSA uses Form SSA-4640 to: (1) obtain the individual’s consent to verify balances of FI accounts; and (2) obtain verification of such balances from the FI. The respondents are subsidy applicants or claimants and their FI.

Abstract

Security vulnerabilities, defined in section 102(17) of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015, are any attribute of hardware, software, process, or procedure that could enable or facilitate the defeat of a security control. Security vulnerability mitigation is a process starting with discovery of the vulnerability leading to applying some solution to resolve the vulnerability. There is constantly a search for security vulnerabilities within information systems, from individuals or nation states wishing to bypass security controls to gain invaluable information, to researchers seeking knowledge in the field of cyber security. Bypassing such security controls in the DHS and other Federal Agencies information systems can cause catastrophic damage including but not limited to loss in Personally Identifiable Information (PII), sensitive information gathering, and data manipulation. Pursuant to section 101 of the Strengthening and Enhancing Cyber-capabilities by Utilizing Risk Exposure Technology Act, (commonly known as the SECURE Technologies Act) individuals, organizations, and/or companies may submit any discovered security vulnerabilities found associated with the information system of any Federal agency. This collection would be used by these individuals, organizations, and/or companies who choose to submit a discovered vulnerability found associated with the information system of any Federal agency. Pub. L. 116-283, Sec. 1705 (which amended 44 U.S.C. § 3553) permits extensive sharing of information regarding cybersecurity and the protection of information and information systems from cybersecurity risks between Federal Agencies covered by the Federal Information Security Modernization Act and the Department of Homeland Security. This unique authority makes DHS well positioned to host the approval of this information collection on behalf of other Federal agencies DHS is requesting pursuant to 44 US Code 3554(a)(1)(B), that the information collection be designated for any Federal agencies ability to utilize the standardized DHS online form to collect their own agency’s vulnerability information and post the information on their own agency websites.

Abstract

This prospective population-based study of potential differential change in health status among deployed and non-deployed US military personnel, is mandated by Congress, recommended by the US Institute of Medicine and authorized in the FY2000 Defense Authorization Act. The study anticipates the potential development of further Gulf-War-Illness-like phenomena that might arise in relation to current and future military deployments. The Millennium Cohort Family Study will assess the interrelated health effects of service on military members and their families.

Abstract

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) prohibits the taking of endangered species. Section 10 of the ESA allows for certain exceptions to this prohibition, such as a taking for scientific research purposes or to enhance the propagation or survival of species listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued regulations to provide for application and reporting for exceptions related to scientific research or to enhance the propagation of threatened or endangered species. The information used to evaluate the proposed activity (permits) and on-going activities (reports) and is necessary for the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to ensure the conservation of the species under the ESA. There is one minor revision requested to the collection itself: NMFS will no longer require “final” permit reports; the reports are still filled out, but they are simply annual reports that are submitted at the end of a permit’s life span.
