Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker

ICR Definition

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.

Abstract

The forms in this collection are used to obtain pertinent information to provide financial assistance, and if necessary, direct assistance to eligible individuals and households who, as a direct result of a disaster or emergency, have uninsured or under-insured, necessary or serious expenses they are unable to meet. This revision of a currently approved information collection will improve the applicant’s experience with the disaster assistance registration process by providing a simpler, more intuitive interface and limiting required responses to those needed based on their needs. These changes will help rebuild trust in the Federal Government by promoting transparency of FEMA’s Disaster Assistance application process.

Abstract

The information being collected is required by General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) clause 552.238-82, Modifications (Federal Supply Schedule). The clause requires contractors who have a MAS contract to request a contract modification by submitting information to the contracting officer. At a minimum, each contract modification request covered by this clause is to include an explanation for the request and supporting information. The clause has an Alternate I and Alternate II as well. The basic clause applies to MAS contracts that are not subject to transactional data reporting and covers the following types of requests for contract modification: additional items/additional SINs, deletions, and price reductions. Alternate I is pretty much the same as the basic clause with exception to paragraph (e) being revised to reflect a MAS contractor accepting eMod. Alternate II applies to MAS contracts subject to transactional data reporting and covers the following types of requests for contract modification: additional items/additional SINs and deletions.

Abstract

Rule 12d3-1 (17 CFR 270.12d3-1) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) creates exemptions that allow registered investment companies ("funds") to acquire securities issued by persons engaged in securities-related businesses, which would otherwise be prohibited under Section 12(d)(3) of the Act. The rule permits funds to invest in companies that derive 15 percent or less of their gross revenues from securities activities without ownership limits, and allows investments in companies deriving more than 15 percent from securities activities subject to specific ownership caps (no more than 5 percent of any equity class, 10 percent of debt securities, and 5 percent of the fund's total assets in any single issuer), while prohibiting investments in securities issued by the fund's promoters, underwriters, investment advisers, or their affiliates, except for subadviser securities under strict conditions requiring advisory contract provisions that prevent consultation between subadvisers and limit their advisory responsibilities to discrete portfolio portions. The SEC needs this information to monitor compliance with these investment restrictions and ensure proper fund governance, using the collected data for regulatory oversight, examination, and enforcement purposes. This regulation primarily imposes recordkeeping requirements and internal governance obligations on investment companies, with information maintained for internal compliance purposes and made available to the SEC during examinations, while fund shareholders and the public benefit from the enhanced investor protections these restrictions provide.

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) seeks the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) approval on the reinstatement of a currently approved information collection (OMB Control Number: 2127-0629) to obtain vehicle information for the general public in support of the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The information collection requests responses from major motor vehicle manufacturers about the crashworthiness, crash avoidance, and other capabilities of their vehicle models. The collection is voluntary and conducted annually. The information is primarily used to provide information to consumers. It is also used to address consumer inquiries as well as for internal agency analyses. This reinstatement of a currently approved information collection request includes the statutory addition of information about advanced crash avoidance technologies and vulnerable road user safety and the corresponding increase associated with the total annual burden hours. This reinstatement increases the total annual burden hours by 7,005 hours from when this Information Collection Request was last approved (from 1,995 hours to 9,000 hours).

Abstract

Under the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA), a plan or issuer may request (but not require) a genetic test in connection with certain research activities so long as such activities comply with specific requirements, including: (i) the research complies with 45 CFR part 46 or equivalent federal regulations and applicable State or local law or regulations for the protection of human subjects in research;, (ii) the request for the participant or beneficiary (or in the case of a minor child, the legal guardian of such beneficiary) is made in writing and clearly indicates that compliance with the request is voluntary and that non-compliance will have no effect on eligibility for benefits or premium or contribution amounts; and (iii) no genetic information collected or acquired will be used for underwriting purposes. The Secretary of Labor or the Secretary of Health and Human Services is required to be notified if a group health plan or health insurance issuer intends to claim the research exception permitted under Title I of GINA. Nonfederal governmental group health plans and issuers solely in the individual health insurance market or Medigap market will be required to file with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The Notice of Research Exception under the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act is a model notice that can be completed by group health plans and health insurance issuers and filed with either the Department of Labor or CMS to comply with the notification requirement.

Abstract

Section 1251 of the ACA provides that certain plans and health insurance coverage in existence as of March 23, 2010, known as grandfathered health plans, are not required to comply with certain statutory provisions in the Act.To maintain its status as a grandfathered health plan, the interim final rule (75 FR 34538, June 17, 2010) require the plan to maintain records documenting the terms of the plan in effect on March 23, 2010, and any other documents that are necessary to verify, explain or clarify status as a grandfathered health plan.The plan must make such records available for examination upon request by participants,beneficiaries, individual policy subscribers, or a State or Federal agency official. A grandfathered health plan is also required to include a statement in any plan material provided to participants or beneficiaries describing the benefits provided under the plan or health insurance coverage, the plan or coverage believes it is a grandfathered health plan within the meaning of section 1251 of the ACA, that being a grandfathered health plan means that the plan does not include certain consumer protections of the ACA, and providing contact information for participants to direct questions regarding which protections apply and which protections do not apply to a grandfathered health plan and what might cause a plan to change from grandfathered health plan status and to file complaints. The amendment to the interim final rule (75 FR 70114, November 17, 2010) requires a grandfathered group health plan that is changing health insurance issuers to provide the succeeding health insurance issuer (and the succeeding health insurance issuer must require) documentation of plan terms (including benefits, cost sharing, employer contributions, and annual limits) under the prior health insurance coverage sufficient to make a determination whether the standards of paragraph (g)(1) of the interim final regulations are exceeded.

Abstract

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) went into effect. Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act amended the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) to create a regulatory framework for swaps. Section 723 of Title VII amended Section 2 of the CEA to provide that rules adopted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“Commission” or “CFTC”) to implement Section 2 shall provide for the reporting of data relating to both: (i) swaps entered into before the date of enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, the terms of which have not expired as of the date of enactment of that Act (“pre-enactment swaps”) and (ii) swaps entered into on or after the date of enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act and prior to the compliance date specified in Commission swap data reporting rules implementing Section 2(h)(5)(B) (“transition swaps”). On June 12, 2012, the Commission adopted regulation 46, which imposes recordkeeping and reporting requirements relating to pre-enactment and transition swaps (collectively, “historical swaps”). This renewal concerns the existing collections of information required by 17 CFR Part 46. CFTC regulation 46 imposes recordkeeping and reporting requirements, relating to historical swaps, on the following entities: swap dealers (“SDs”), major swap participants (“MSPs”), and counterparties to swaps who are neither SDs nor MSPs (“non-SD/MSP counterparties”). Section 46.2 requires affected entities to keep certain records relating to historical swaps; Section 46.3 requires affected entities to make an initial data report regarding historical swaps to a swap data repository (“SDR”) and make on-going reports to a SDR for certain historical swaps throughout the existence of the swaps; Section 46.11 requires affected entities to report errors and omissions in data previously reported regarding historical swaps to a SDR.

Abstract

Section 3505(a)(2) of the PRA of 1995 provides the OMB Director authority to approve the streamlined clearance process proposed in this information collection request. This information collection request was originally approved by OMB in January of 1997. This information collection streamlines the clearance process for all discretionary grant information collections which do not fit the generic application process. The streamlined clearance process continues to reduce the clearance time for the U.S. Department of Education's (ED's) discretionary grant information collections by two months or 60 days. This is desirable for two major reasons: it would allow ED to provide better customer service to grant applicants and help meet ED's goal for timely awards of discretionary grants. §3474.20(d) adds the requirement for grantees to develop a dissemination plan for copyrighted work under open licensing. Information contained in the narrative of an application will be captured in the Evidence of Effectiveness Form.

Why They Are Important

ICRs play a vital role in ensuring transparency and accountability in federal data collection. When federal agencies collect information from 10 or more "persons" (which includes individuals, businesses, and state, local, and tribal governments), they must submit an ICR to ensure that it fulfills their statutory missions, avoids unnecessary or duplicative requests, and minimizes burden on the American public. Additionally, Federal Register Notices (FRNs) and the opportunity for public comments provide a formal way for the public to be informed of proposed ICRs and participate in the process.

ICRs also serve as a key resource for tracking changes to federal data collections. The availability of detailed documentation, such as data collection instruments and methodologies, allows the general public to identify revisions in a timely manner. These may include revisions prompted by Executive Orders or statistical policies like OMB's Statistical Policy Directive No. 15 (SPD 15), which are often submitted as "nonsubstantive" or "nonmaterial" changes to a currently approved collection.[1] Furthermore, ICRs can help determine if a data collection has expired without renewal or has been intentionally discontinued. By reviewing ICRs, the public can better understand what data is being collected, how it evolves over time, and whether data collections have become inactive–often in response to shifting priorities and updated standards.

How To Use The Tool

The ICR tracking tool offers a user-friendly view of ICRs that have been recently submitted, reviewed, or are nearing expiration. By aggregating key data from individual ICRs, the tool allows users to view the current status of each request, including submission, conclusion, and expiration dates, details on whether any changes were made, authorizing statutes, and more. Users can search for specific information and filter results based on various criteria. If seeking additional information, various text fields are hyperlinked to the full ICR on RegInfo.gov and associated resources. The tool is updated on a daily basis to reflect the most current information available. Column descriptions are available below the table.
