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.

Designation of Agents, Motor Carriers, Brokers and Freight Forwarders

Key Information

Abstract

Motor carriers of property and passengers, property brokers, surface freight forwarders, including exempt for hire and private motor carriers, operating in interstate or foreign commerce must register with the FMCSA. The collection is mandatory reporting. As a condition of registration, these entities must designate process agents for each State in which they operate on the “Designation of Agents for Service of Process” form, Form BOC-3. The form is submitted by registration applicants to FMCSA to meet a statutory requirement and is filed on an “as-needed” basis and cannot be done less frequently. Most forms are filed by blanket companies on behalf of carriers. Currently, information contained on the completed Form BOC-3 identifies a process agent for each State in which the motor carrier, freight forwarder, or broker will operate. These process agents are authorized by the transportation entity to accept, on its behalf, legal process or notice in Agency and court proceedings. Persons considering bringing legal actions against a carrier, broker, or freight forwarder may obtain the name of its process agent in a particular State by contacting FMCSA.

Request for Termination of Medicare Premium Part A, Part B, or Part B Immunosuppressive Drug Coverage (Part B-ID) and Request to Cancel Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) (CMS-1763)

Key Information

Abstract

Sections 1818(c)(5), 1818A(c)(2)(B) and 1838(b)(1) of the Act and corresponding regulations at 42 CFR 406.28(a) and 407.27(c) require that a Medicare enrollee wishing to voluntarily terminate Part B and/or premium Part A coverage file a written request with CMS or SSA. The statute and regulations also specify when coverage ends based upon the date the request for termination is filed. Under sections 1838(b) and (h)(4) of the Act individuals are not required to enroll or remain enrolled in the Part B for immunosuppressive drugs (Part B-ID) benefit program. Individuals enrolled in the Part B-ID benefit can terminate their enrollment by filing notice that they no longer wish to participate in the Part B-ID benefit program. The CMS-1763 and 1763A are the forms used by individuals who wish to terminate their Medicare premium Part A, Part B or Part B-ID or cancel their Medicare Part B. This is necessary due to how SSA defines termination and cancellation. To terminate means that coverage has already begun, to cancel means that coverage has not yet started. Only one version of the form will apply to each case that is processed. Furthermore, it would improve our data by distinguishing between individuals who terminated their Medicare coverage after it began, and those who canceled their coverage before it started, potentially influencing future policy decisions.

Electronic Diversity Visa Entry Form

Key Information

Abstract

The DS-5501 collection is necessary because the Department requires certain information to verify eligibility of aliens who enter the Diversity Visa program. Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) Section 203(c) [8 U.S.C. § 1153(c)], provides for a class of immigrants known as “diversity immigrants” from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States. Pursuant to INA section 204(a)(1)(I) [8 U.S.C. § 1154(a)(1)(I)], all aliens seeking diversity immigrant status must submit a petition (the DS-5501) but may apply for a diversity visa only if randomly selected in the diversity visa lottery and only during the specific fiscal year for which they were selected. The Secretary of State is authorized to establish, through regulations, the information that must be included in the petition and any documentary evidence required to support the petition. Accordingly, 22 CFR § 42.33(b) outlines the specific information that must be included in the petition as well as documentation required to support the petition.Emergency Justfication:Rule Change (NPRM)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection pertains to information that an offeror/contractor must submit to the Department of Defense (DoD) if only one offer was received in response to a competitive solicitation, and the contracting officer must now request certified cost or pricing data because of the revised standard for adequate price competition that is applicable to DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard. This information collection requirement implements Cost or Pricing Data—Truth in negotiations, 10 U.S.C. 2306a, as amended by section 822 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 (Pub. L 114-328). To the extent that 10 U.S.C. 2306a is the same as 41 U.S.C. chapter 35, information collection requirements are covered under OMB clearance 9000-0013. However, section 822 of the NDAA for FY 2017 changes the standard for adequate price competition for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard. This supporting statement addresses only the additional burden for DoD, as implemented in DFARS clause 252.215-7008, Only One Offer, and 252.215-7010, Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2026 Amendment 1

Key Information

Abstract

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in various subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, U.S. history, and civics. The National Assessment of Educational Progress Authorization Act (Pub. L. 107–279, title III, section 303) requires the assessment to collect data on specified student groups and characteristics, including information organized by race/ethnicity, sex, socio-economic status, disability, and limited English proficiency. It requires fair and accurate presentation of achievement data and permits the collection of background, noncognitive, or descriptive information that is related to academic achievement and aids in fair reporting of results. The intent of the law is to provide representative sample data on student achievement for the nation, the states, and subpopulations of students and to monitor progress over time. NAEP consists of two assessment programs: the NAEP long-term trend (LTT) assessment and the main NAEP assessment. The LTT assessments are given at the national level only and are administered to students at ages 9, 13, and 17 in a manner that is very different from that used for the main NAEP assessments. LTT reports mathematics and reading results that present trend data since the 1970s. In addition to the operational assessments, NAEP uses two other kinds of assessment activities: pilot assessments and special studies. Pilot assessments test items and procedures for future administrations of NAEP, while special studies (e.g., the Middle School Transcript Study (MSTS), and the High School Transcript Study (HSTS)) are opportunities for NAEP to investigate particular aspects of the assessment without impacting the reporting of the NAEP results.  This request is an Amendment to the initially approved NAEP 2026 Clearance Package (OMB# 1850-0928 v.36) to conduct NAEP in 2026, specifically: (1) Main NAEP operational assessments will include for grades 4 and 8 (first administration of the new frameworks for reading and mathematics), grade 8 (civics and U.S. history); in Puerto Rico, grades 4 and 8 mathematics will be the only subject assessed and will include the new framework; (2) Pilot testing in grades 4, 8, and 12 (reading and mathematics); in Puerto Rico, grades 4 and 8 mathematics will be the only subject assessed. Some documents in this package will be updated in Amendment #2, which will be posted for a separate 30-day public comment period following the 30-day public comment period for Amendment #1. These packages will contain all final materials to be used for the data collection in early 2026. As of April 2025, NCES’s assurances of confidentiality protections for NAEP 2026 have changed due to recent staffing changes at the Department of Education. NCES has removed the Foundations of Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018, Title III, Part B, Confidential Information Protection (‘‘CIPSEA’’) as a confidentiality assurance. However, confidentiality assurances under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA) remain in effect.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is requesting to revise this control number to reflect changes to the underlying regulations pertaining to renewable energy rents affecting solar and wind energy developments. This proposed rule would update the procedures governing the BLM’s right-of-way programs, focusing on one main topic that would support Unleashing American Energy (EO 14154). This will generally remove impediments and burdensome regulations or other rules that are not required by law. The RIN number for this rulemaking action is 1004-AF45.

Application to Restore Federal Firearms Rights

Key Information

Abstract

The restoration of federal firearms rights is statutorily codified in 18 U.S.C. § 925(c) and protects the Second Amendment right of the people to keep and bear arms. There is, however, currently no workable mechanism for the Attorney General to grant restoration. To determine if such relief should be granted to an individual, the Attorney General, by statute, must determine if “the circumstances regarding the disability, and the applicant’s record and reputation, are such that the applicant will not be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety and that the granting of the relief would not be contrary to the public interest.” The principal purpose for collecting this information is to enable PARDON, on behalf of the Attorney General, to make such a determination by processing applicants’ requests for relief from federal firearm disabilities. The information is necessary to verify applicants’ identities, conduct investigation of the applicants’ backgrounds and criminal records, and ensure proper record in the Federal Register and notification to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement entities in the event of the grant of restoration of firearms rights

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 7d-2 (17 CFR 270.7d-2) provides an exemption from the "public offering" definition under section 7(d) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-7(d)) for certain securities offered to U.S. residents who participate in Canadian tax-deferred retirement savings accounts (such as Registered Retirement Savings Plans or Registered Retirement Income Funds). To qualify for this exemption, foreign investment companies (called "Qualified Companies") must include in any written offering materials delivered to participants or their Canadian retirement accounts a prominent disclosure statement that the securities and the investment company are not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are relying on exemptions from registration. This collection involves a third-party disclosure requirement, with the disclosure provided directly to participants (U.S. investors) and their Canadian retirement accounts as the primary recipients of the information.

Abstract

Respondents participating in the Medicare program use Supplemental to Form CMS-2552-10: Median Payer-Specific Negotiated Charge Data Worksheet to report payer-specific negotiated charge data pursuant to the CY 2026 OPPS Proposed Rule (CMS-1834-P) published July 17, 2025. This supplemental form advances the policy goal of increasing healthcare price transparency and promoting market-based approaches in Medicare FFS payments. The form requires hospitals to report, by MS-DRG, the weighted median of the payer-specific charges negotiated with Medicare Advantage organizations. The information reported on the worksheet enables CMS to calculate new IPPS MS-DRG relative weights beginning in FY 2029 and reinforces the administration's commitment to clear, accurate, and actionable healthcare pricing information.

Transportation and Climate Division (TCD) Grant Program Reporting Templates: Supplemental Project Application Template and Project Reporting Templates for DERA, CSB, CHD, and CP (New)

Key Information

Abstract

"This supporting statement is for an Information Collection Request (ICR) for four mobile source related grant programs administered by the Transportation and Climate Division (TCD), within Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ). These four programs include: Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) Grant Program, Clean School Bus (CSB) Grant Program, Clean Heavy-Duty (CHD) Grant Program, and Clean Ports Grant Program. The DERA Grants Program and the Clean School Bus Grant Program currently collect information under an existing ICR, the General Administrative Requirements for Assistance Programs (Renewal), ICR No. 2030-0020. The EPA currently uses ICR No. 2030-0020 to collect information for most major elements of grants administration, but to ease the burden for applicants, awardees, and Agency staff, as well as enrich data quality across programs, the Agency needs to be able to collect information via new reporting instruments, specifically program-specific, fillable data templates. This ICR for these four programs is requesting clearance to cover fillable data templates for three phases of the grant lifecycle: initial application, quarterly reporting, and final reporting. Notably, for successful grant applicants, the information in data templates collected during the application phase of the grant lifecycle will flow into the data templates for the quarterly and final reporting periods, enabling these templates to capture data efficiently throughout the life of the entire award. TCD uses approved procedures and forms to collect necessary information to operate its grant programs and has been providing grants under DERA since 2008. EPA is preparing to launch the 2024 Clean Port Program in late winter 2024, the 2024 Clean Heavy Duty in early spring 2024, as well as the 2024 DERA grant program in summer 2024, and overseeing the 2023 Clean School Bus Grantees, who are expected to begin reporting in mid-2024. While these programs each have unique statutory requirements, there are key aspects that unite them as mobile source emissions reduction efforts, and by combining them as a cohort of programs under one ICR, EPA aims to enrich data quality across our programs and to ease burden on applicants and awardees considering applying for multiple programs. Additionally, collecting data via program-specific, fillable data templates that supplement the main application document will enhance the Agency's oversight of these projects as directed by Congress. Further, doing so will also provide critical real-world performance data that the Agency would not otherwise be able to procure, which can inform future research and policy decisions related to OTAQs mission to protect human health and the environment by reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from mobile sources and advancing clean fuels and technology."

Fee Remittance Form for Certain F, J and M Nonimmigrants

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is necessary to implement section 641 of IIRIRA, 8 U.S.C. §1372, which directs DHS to collect information relating to academic nonimmigrant students (F-1), vocational nonimmigrant students (M-1), and exchange visitors (J-1), as well as their dependents (F-2, M-2 or J-2) , and provides for the collection of the required fee to defray the costs of this program. Section 641 of IIRIRA requires DHS to collect current information, on an ongoing basis, from schools and exchange visitor program sponsors relating to F, J and M nonimmigrants during the course of their stay in the United States, using electronic reporting technology to the fullest extent practicable. SEVP, an office of the DHS agency U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, implemented SEVIS to carryout out this statutory requirement. SEVP uses the Form I-901, Fee Remittance for Certain F, J and M Nonimmigrants, to provide a receipt to the F, J or M nonimmigrant upon payment and to positively identify that a particular F, J, or M nonimmigrant has paid the fee.
