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.

Identification of Explosive Materials

Key Information

Abstract

To protect the public from misuse of explosives, implementing regulations at 27 CFR 555.109 require licensees/permittees to mark certain explosives they manufacture or import, as well as mark immediate containers and outside packaging. The markings must include certain information and be clear and permanent, though they can be done via sticky label, marker, etc. Some types of explosives are too small or too fluid, in a form that cannot be marked, and are excepted.

Disability Report - Child

Key Information

Abstract

Sections 223(d)(5)(A) and 1631(e)(1) of the Act require Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claimants to furnish medical and other evidence to prove they are disabled. SSA uses Form SSA-3820-BK to collect information regarding a child applying for SSI disability payments. The information we collect on the SSA-3820-BK then provides the State Disability Determination Services (DDS) adjudicators a detailed explanation of a child’s medical history that is essential to the disability determination. SSA uses Form SSA-3820-BK to collect contact and biographic information about a child. It also includes details pertaining to the child’s condition including medical treating sources, medications being taken, medical tests, educational background, and work history if relevant. The State (DDS) evaluators use the information from Form SSA-3820-BK, including its electronic versions, to request and develop medical and school evidence, and to assess the alleged disability. The information collected on the form, together with medical evidence and other sources of non-medical evidence, provides the evidentiary basis upon which SSA makes its initial disability evaluation. The respondents are the responsible adult(s) applying on behalf of the child, such as the parents, guardians, and other caretakers who petition SSI childhood disability for initial and reconsideration decisions.

[NCEH] NCEH DLS Laboratory Quality Assurance Programs

Key Information

Abstract

Accuracy and reliability of laboratory tests is important to identify and to monitor exposures and health biomarkers, which in turn improves diagnosis and treatment. Laboratories that conduct biomonitoring or test for certain environmental or nutritional chemicals participate in quality assurance (QA) activities for many reasons: to assess internal test performance, calibrate methods to standards among other laboratories, receive certification of proficiency to comply with certain regulations, or simply improve quality. Participation may help a laboratory to verify the accuracy of their methods and results or ensure accurate and consistent test results across multiple laboratories. This Revision involves adjustments to the respondents and burden and other minor edits to documents.

Pacific Cod Trawl Cooperative Program

Key Information

Abstract

This is a renewal and revision of a previously approved collection for the Pacific Cod Trawl Cooperative Program (PCTC Program). This collection contains ongoing information collection requirements submitted by participating harvesters and processors for the following forms: (1) Application for PCTC Program Cooperative Quota (CQ), (2) Application for Inter-Cooperative Transfer of CQ, (3) Application for Transfer of PCTC Program Quota Share (QS) for Processors, and (4) Notification of Intent to Process PCTC Program Pacific Cod. As part of this revision, NMFS is removing the following forms which are no longer needed: (1) Application for PCTC Program Quota Share (QS) and (2) Ninety-Day Transfer Window for Non-Exempt American Fisheries Act (AFA) License Limitation Program (LLP) holders. This revision also removes the formal appeal process for CQ allocations, as this was only used during implementation of the program. The PCTC Program is a limited access privilege program for the harvest of Pacific cod in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands trawl catcher vessel sector. This program is necessary to increase the value of fishery, minimize bycatch to the extent practicable, provide for the sustained participation of fishery-dependent communities, ensure the sustainability and viability of the resource, and promote safety and stability in the harvesting and processing sectors. This information collection contains the collection instruments necessary for NMFS to implement the PCTC Program and manage cooperative quota and quota share in this fishery.

National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for Perchlorate (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to regulate perchlorate in drinking water distributed by public water systems (PWSs). The paperwork burden associated with this proposed rule consists of the burden imposed on systems to read and understand the perchlorate rule as well as the burden associated with certain new collections of information. Specifically, PWSs will have to assign personnel and devote resources to implement the rule, including collecting or compiling initial water samples and submitting this monitoring data to the State. In addition, PWSs will need to attend training sessions and receive technical assistance from their State during implementation of the perchlorate rule. Likewise, the paperwork burden for States include reading and understanding the perchlorate rule. States will have to adopt the NPDWR and develop programs to implement the rule. This may result in States modifying or updating their data systems while implementing the perchlorate rule. States will also have to provide staff with training and technical assistance as well as provide water systems with training and technical assistance for implementation of the perchlorate rule. The information collected under this ICR is critical to States and other authorized entities that have been granted primacy (i.e., primary enforcement authority) for the perchlorate rule. These authorized entities are responsible for overseeing the perchlorate rule implementation by certain PWSs within their jurisdiction. States would utilize these data to determine compliance. The collected information is also necessary for PWSs. PWSs would use these data to demonstrate compliance, communicate water quality information to consumers served by the water system and, if needed, assess treatment options, and operate and maintain installed treatment equipment. States would also be required to report a subset of these data to the EPA. The EPA would utilize the information to protect public health by ensuring compliance with the perchlorate rule, measuring progress toward meeting the perchlorate rule’s goals, and evaluating the appropriateness of State implementation activities.

Toxic Chemical Release Reporting (Non-substantive Change)

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), certain facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use specified toxic chemicals in amounts above reporting threshold levels as provided in 40 CFR 372.25 must submit annually to EPA and to their designated state or Indian country officials toxic chemical release forms containing information specified by EPA; (see 42 U.S.C. 11023). In addition, pursuant to section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA), facilities reporting under section 313 of EPCRA must also report pollution prevention and waste management data, including recycling information, for such chemicals; (see 42 U.S.C. 13106). EPA compiles and stores these reports in a publicly accessible database known as the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). Regulations at 40 CFR part 372, subpart B, require facilities that meet the above criteria to report annually. This ICR consolidates the following final rule ICRs titled Rule-Related ICR Amendment; Changes to Reporting Requirements for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances; Community Right-to-Know Toxic Chemical Release Reporting, Final Rule (RIN 2070-AK97) (OMB Control No. 2070-0225; EPA ICR No. 2724.02), Addition of Natural Gas Processing Facilities to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) (Final Rule) (OMB Control No. 2070-0206; EPA ICR No. 2560.02); and Parent Company Definition for TRI Reporting (Final Rule) (OMB Control No. 2070-0216; EPA ICR No. 2597.02) into this renewal ICR. Upon OMB approval of this ICR, EPA intends to discontinue OMB Control Nos. 2070-0225, 2070-0206, and 2070-0216.

Information Program on Clinical Trials: Maintaining a Registry and Results Databank (NLM)

Key Information

Abstract

This is a revision of a previously approved submission. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) operates the ClinicalTrials.gov website under the authority of the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). ClinicalTrials.gov supports the collection of Clinical Trial Registration and Results Information necessary to implement statutory requirements of Section 801 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA 801) and regulatory requirements at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 11. Information collection at ClinicalTrials.gov also serves as a means of enhancing enrollment or complying with policies of federal agencies and other organizations. Information is collected via electronic submission to the ClinicalTrials.gov Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS). The information in the databank is publicly available. It is intended to provide current and reliable information on the broadest possible scale to members of the public, including patients, physicians, and researchers, about the existence, nature, enrollment status, location, eligibility criteria, sponsorship, progress, and outcomes of clinical trials.

Data To Support Social and Behavioral Research as Used by the Food and Drug Administration

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is intended to support research conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we). Understanding patients, consumers, and health care professionals' perceptions and behaviors regarding various issues and patient reported outcomes associated with the safety and administration of drug products plays an important role in improving FDA’s regulatory decisionmaking processes and communications. We are revising this collection to add the development and validation of novel instruments (i.e., interview and focus group guides, questionnaires) and approaches to gathering data on emerging safety issues To better understand patients, consumers, and health care professionals' perceptions and behaviors regarding various issues and patient reported outcomes associated with the safety and administration of drug products overseen by the agency, FDA is requesting approval of this generic information collection request for the purpose of conducting studies in these areas.

Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied Alien Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities

Revision of a currently approved collection
Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied Alien Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection was originally approved under emergency approval for six months, as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13, because it is essential to the mission of the agency; the use of normal clearance procedures was reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information; and public harm was reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures were followed. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to license them and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to place unaccompanied alien children referred to ORR by federal agencies into care provider facilities and to transfer children within the ORR care provider network. This request is to continue data collection for all forms under this OMB number, including those approved under emergency approval. Minor revisions are proposed to a subset of the currently approved forms. Supporting Statement A sections A1, A2, A12 and A14 have been updated accordingly, and the proposed changes are described in section A15. ORR requests approval for a period of one year, during which time a more extensive revision request—with proposed revisions for all forms in this collection—will be finalized and submitted under normal Paperwork Reduction Act procedures.

Abstract

FINAL RULE: Risk-Informed, Technology-Inclusive Regulatory Framework for Advanced Reactors The NRC is amending its regulations by adding a risk-informed, performance-based, and technology-inclusive regulatory framework for commercial nuclear plants in response to the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act (NEIMA). The current application and licensing requirements were primarily developed to address license requests concerning light water-cooled reactors and operational requirements for those types of reactors. This final rule responds to NEIMA by creating an alternative, technology-inclusive regulatory framework to accommodate licensing of future commercial nuclear plants, including advanced reactor designs that may not employ light-water technology. The information collections associated with the final rule have been submitted under the following clearance numbers: 3150-0146 Burden for 10 CFR Part 26 (revision) 3150-0274 Burden for 10 CFR Part 53 (new clearance number for a new CFR Part) 3150-0272 NRC Forms 893 and 894 (new clearance number for a new form) 3150-0002: 10 CFR Part 73 (revision) 3150-0104: NRC Form 366 (revision) 3150-0271 Burden for 10 CFR Part 50 (temporary clearance number, 3150-0011 is currently unavailable for submissions due to the Alternatives to the Use of Credit Ratings final rule) 3150-XXXX: Burden for NRC Form 361 (temporary clearance number, 3150-0238 will soon be unavailable due to the upcoming renewal of this form) 3150-XXXX: Burden for NRC Form 396 (temporary clearance number, 3150-0027 is currently unavailable for submissions due to renewal) 3150-XXXX: Burden for NRC Form 398 (temporary clearance number, 3150-0090 is currently unavailable for submissions due to the renewal)
