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.

EIA Data Security Requirements for Accessing Confidential Data

Key Information

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) outlines the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) process for collecting information to fulfill its internal security requirements, enabling approved individuals to access confidential data assets of the EIA for evidence building. This collection directly supports the objectives of Title III of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (Evidence Act), which mandates the establishment of a Standard Application Process (SAP) by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to facilitate secure access to confidential federal statistical data. While the broader SAP Portal (OMB Control Number 3145-0271) manages initial applications for data access across federal statistical agencies, this specific EIA ICR addresses the necessary post-approval collection of information to establish and maintain stringent data security and privacy controls, as legally required for the provision of confidential microdata.

Privacy of Consumer Financial Information

Key Information

Abstract

The CFTC requests the extension without change of the OMB clearance for the information collections associated with Part 160 of the Commission's regulations (Privacy of Consumer Financial Information). The passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010), broadened the Commission's regulatory authority under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLB Act") to cover two new entities: Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants, in addition to Futures Commission Merchants, Commodity Trading Advisors, Commodity Pool Operators, and Introducing Brokers, Specifically, amendments to the GLB Act found in section 1093 of the Dodd-Frank Act, reaffirmed the Commission's authority to promulgate regulations to require entities that are subject to the Commission's jurisdiction to provide certain privacy protections for consumer financial information. These regulations were later extended to Retail Foreign Exchange Dealers. Section 124 of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 (“CFMA”) amended the Commodity Exchange Act (the “Act”) and added a new Section 5g to the Act to (i) add that futures commission merchants, commodity trading advisors, commodity pool operators, and introducing brokers that are subject to CFTC jurisdiction with respect to any financial activity shall be treated as a financial institution for purposes of Title V, Subtitle A of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLB Act”), (ii) treat the Commission as a Federal functional regulator for purposes of applying the provisions of the GLB Act, and (iii) direct the Commission to prescribe regulations under Title V of the GLB Act. The Commission adopted regulations for these entities under part 160 and later extended them to retail foreign exchange dealers, swap dealers, and major swap participants. Part 160 requires those subject to the regulations, among other things, to provide privacy and opt out notices to customers and to adopt appropriate policies and procedures to safeguard customer records and information.

Abstract

Agencies are able to utilize this uniform format for reporting performance progress on Federally funded research projects. The Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) directly benefits award recipients by making it easier for them to administer Federal grant and cooperative agreement programs through standardization of the types of information required in interim performance reports, thereby reducing their administrative effort and costs. The RPPR also makes it easier to compare the outputs, outcomes, etc. of research programs across the government.

Post Allowance and Reissue

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is required by 35 U.S.C. 131 and 151 to examine applications and, when appropriate, allow applications and issue them as patents. When an application for a patent is allowed by the USPTO, the USPTO issues a notice of allowance and the applicant must pay the specified issue fee (including the publication fee, if applicable) within three months to avoid abandonment of the application. This collection of information also encompasses several actions that may be taken after issuance of a patent, pursuant to Chapter 25 of Title 35 U.S.C. A certificate of correction may be requested to correct an error or errors in the patent. For an original patent that is believed to be wholly or partly inoperative or invalid, the assignee(s) or inventor(s) may apply for reissue of the patent, which entails several formal requirements, including provision of an oath or declaration specifically identifying at least one error being relied upon as the basis for reissue and stating the reason for the belief that the original patent is wholly or partly inoperative or invalid (e.g., a defective specification or drawing, or claiming more or less than the patentee had the right to claim in the patent). The public uses this information collection to request corrections of errors in issued patents, to submit applications for reissue patents, and to submit issue fee payments.

Mining and Mining Claims and Non-Federal Oil and Gas Rights, 36 CFR 9, Subparts A and B

Key Information

Abstract

The Organic Act of 1916 (NPS Organic Act) (54 U.S.C. §100101 et seq.) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to develop regulations for national park units under the Department's jurisdiction. The Mining in the Parks Act (54 U.S.C. §100731 et seq.) directs the Secretary of the Interior to regulate all operations in park units in connection with the exercise of mineral rights on patented and unpatented mining claims. The National Park Service (NPS, we) regulations at 36 CFR Part 9, Subparts A and B, ensure that mining and non-Federal oil and gas activities on units of the National Park System are conducted in a manner consistent with preserving each unit for the benefit of present and future generations. Operators must submit specific information describing their future development plans, including steps to mitigate the impacts, and must not conduct any operations until they have NPS approval.

Patent Term Extension and Adjustment

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection covers information gathered in patent term extension applications submitted under 35 U.S.C. 156(d). Under this provision, an application for patent term extension must identify the approved product; the patent to be extended; and the claims included in the patent that cover the approved product, a method of using the approved product, or a method of manufacturing the approved product. 35 U.S.C. 156(d) also requires the submission of information that enables the USPTO to determine the eligibility of the patent for extension, and the rights that will be derived from the extension, and information to enable the USPTO and the Secretary of Health and Human Services or the Secretary of Agriculture to determine the period of the extension. Additionally, 35 U.S.C. 156(d) requires the applicant for patent term extension to provide a brief description of the activities undertaken by the applicant during the regulatory review period with respect to the approved product and the significant dates of these activities. This information collection also covers information gathered in requests for interim extensions pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) and 156(e)(2). Under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5), an interim extension may be granted if the applicable regulatory review period that began for a product is reasonably expected to extend beyond the expiration of the patent term in effect. Under 35 U.S.C. 156(e)(2), an interim extension may be granted if the term of an eligible patent for which an application for patent term extension has been submitted would expire before a certificate of extension is issued. In addition, this information collection covers requests for review of final eligibility decisions, and requests to withdraw an application requesting a patent term extension after it is submitted.

Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery

Key Information

Abstract

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Office of Customer Education and Outreach (OCEO) seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect qualitative and quantitative feedback. By feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistically significant surveys that yield results that can be generalized to the population of study. This collection of information is necessary to enable the OCEO to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient and timely manner in accordance with our commitment to improving service delivery. The information collected from our customers and stakeholders will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with OCEO programs. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable communications between the OCEO and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.

The Report and Order modernized the Commission’s rules regarding certain information that cable operators currently are required to provide to their subscribers on paper. The Report and Order permits these notices, including the information operators must provide pursuant to 47 CFR Section 76.1614, to instead be provided electronically via verified e-mail, so long as the cable operator complies with certain consumer safeguards. Specifically, the item permits certain written responses by the cable operator to be delivered by e-mail if the consumer used e-mail to make the request or complaint directly to the cable operator, or if the consumer specifies e-mail as the preferred delivery method in the request or complaint. On January 31, 2017, the Commission adopted a Report and Order (Public Inspection File R&O) in MB Docket No. 16-161, FCC 17-3, In the Matter of Revisions to Public Inspection File Requirements – Broadcaster Correspondence File and Cable Principal Headend Location which eliminated the requirement in former 47 CFR Section 76.1708 that cable operators maintain for public inspection the designation and location of the cable system’s principal headend. The Public Inspection File R&O removed and reserved 47 CFR. Section 76.1708.

Key Information

Abstract

PROPOSED RULE- Modernizing NRC Regulations NRC Regulations for Byproduct Material Use The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations for the licensing of byproduct material, some source material, and some special nuclear material. The NRC’s goal in amending these regulations is to modernize the safe, effective, and efficient use of licensed material. This action will reduce the licensing burden and the need for exemptions from existing regulations; address other deregulatory issues deemed relevant by the NRC; and support the NRC’s Principles of Good Regulation, including openness, clarity, and reliability. This effort is consistent with, and implements direction in, the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy Act of 2024 (ADVANCE Act), and recently issued Executive Order (EO) 14300, “Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.” This information collection includes burden reduction associated with revised information collection in Part 30, 31, 32, 34, 39, 40, and Forms 241, 483, and 313. It also includes burden associated with new information collections in proposed Part 31 and proposed NRC Form 1003.

Under the Commission’s existing rules, a noncommercial educational (NCE) broadcast station may not conduct fundraising activities to benefit any entity besides the station itself if the activities would substantially alter or suspend regular programming. The Report and Order relaxes the rules to allow NCE stations to spend up to one percent of their total annual airtime conducting on-air fundraising activities that interrupt regular programming for the benefit of third-party non-profit organizations.

Abstract

The Commission's rules require that broadcast auction participants submit exhibits disclosing ownership, bidding agreements, bidding credit eligibility and engineering data. This data is used by Commission staff to ensure that applicants are qualified to participate in Commission auctions and to ensure that license winners are entitled to receive the new entrant bidding credit, if applicable. Exhibits regarding joint bidding agreement are designed to prevent collusion. Submission of engineering exhibits for non-table services enables the Commission to determine which applications are mutually exclusive.

Pension Benefit Statement

Key Information

Abstract

Section 105(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) requires administrators of defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans to provide periodic pension benefit statements to participants and certain beneficiaries. If a defined contribution plan permits participants and beneficiaries to direct their own investments, benefit statements must be provided at least once each quarter. If the defined contribution plan does not permit participants and beneficiaries to direct their own investments, benefit statements must be provided at least once each year. In the case of defined benefit plans, benefit statements generally must be provided at least once every three years. Section 105(a)(2)(A)(i)(I) requires a benefit statement to indicate the participant's or beneficiary's “total benefits accrued.” On December 20, 2019, ERISA section 105 was amended by section 203 of the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 (SECURE Act). As amended, ERISA section 105 requires, in relevant part, that “a lifetime income disclosure . . . be included in only one pension benefit statement provided to participants of defined contribution plans during any one 12-month period.” A lifetime income disclosure “shall set forth the lifetime income stream equivalent of the total benefits accrued with respect to the participant or beneficiary.” A lifetime income stream equivalent means the amount of monthly payments the participant or beneficiary would receive if the total accrued benefits of such participant or beneficiary were used to provide a single life annuity and a qualified joint and survivor annuity.
