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.

Post Government Employment Advice Opinion Request
Key Information
Abstract
The information collection is necessary to obtain minimal information on which to base an opinion about post Government employment of select former and departing Department of Defense (DoD) employees seeking to work for Defense Contractors within two years after leaving DoD. The departing or former DoD employee uses the opinion request form to organize and provide employment-related information to an ethics official who will use the information to render an advisory opinion to the employee requesting the opinion. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2008, Public Law 110-181, section 847, requires that select DoD officials and former DoD officials who, within two years after leaving DoD, expect to receive compensation from a DoD contractor, shall, before accepting such compensation, request a written opinion regarding the applicability of post-employment restrictions to activities that the official or former official may undertake on behalf of a contractor. |

National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
42 USC Section 295k(a)-(b) (View Law) 13 USC Section 8b (View Law) 42 USC Section 294n(b)(2)(A) (View Law) Abstract
The NSSRN is collected to help fulfill the congressional mandates of the Public Health Service Act, Title 42, U.S.C. Section 294n(b)(2)(A) and Section 295k(a)-(b). These mandates ensure the development of information describing and analyzing the health care workforce and workforce-related issues. Through means of collecting, compiling, and analyzing data on healthcare professionals, this survey provides required information for decision-making regarding future directions in health professions and nursing programs in response to societal and professional needs. Such data have become particularly important to better understand workforce issues given the recent dynamic changes in the RN population and the transformation of the healthcare system. Previous improvements to the NSSRN were made based on changes in healthcare policy, best practices in survey methodology, and a section on nurse practitioners (NPs) was added. Previously, NP data were collected in a separate survey called the National Sample Survey of Nurse Practitioners (NSSNP). The updated survey, which incorporates questions from both previous surveys, retains the name “The National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses.” The intent behind combining these two surveys was to reduce redundancy in the collection of data, which results in lower costs and burden on respondents that accompanied the administration of two separate surveys. The 2022 NSSRN had some changes to content from 2018, but it did not undergo a major redesign. |

Art in Architecture Program Center for Fine Arts; GSA 7437
Key Information
Abstract
This is a revision to an existing collection. In accordance with Executive Orders 14148 and 14168, the form GSA 7437, Art in Architecture Program National Artist Registry, will be updated to eliminate the optional demographic information, which is no longer being collected. The Art in Architecture (AiA) program is the result of a policy decision made in January 1963 by the U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Administrator Bernard L. Boudin, who served on the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal Office Space in 1961-62. The Committee’s report to President Kennedy included the “Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture,” which detailed a new quality conscious Federal attitude toward architecture. One point, which was omitted from the report because Administrator Boudin implemented it prior to the policy’s publication, was: A modest portion of the cost of each new Federal office building, not to exceed one percent of the total expense, shall be allocated for the purchase of fine arts to be incorporated in the general design. Emphasis should be placed on the work of living American artists, representing all trends of contemporary art, but this practice should not preclude the purchase of works of earlier periods where this would be appropriate. In commissioning the work of living artists, competitions should be encouraged. Administrator Boudin approved a policy of commissioning works of art for public buildings under GSA’s jurisdiction, custody, and control in an amount not to exceed one half of one percent of the construction cost. The requirement to commission artworks for federal buildings can be found in part 102-77 of the Federal Management Regulation (41 C.F.R. part 102-77). The program has been modified over the years, most recently in 2022, to align with Executive Order (E.O.)14029 issued on May 14, 2021 “Revocation of Certain Presidential Actions and Technical Amendment,” and to support E.O. 13985 issued January 2021, titled “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. E.O. 14029 revoked E.O. 13934 issued July 3, 2020, Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes. E.O. 14189 of January 29, 2025 “Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday, revoked E.O.14129 and reinstates E.O. 13934. As mandated by E.O. 13934, the AiA program must prioritize the commissioning of artworks that portray historically significant Americans or events of American historical significance, or that illustrate the ideals upon which the Nation was founded. Priority is to be given to public-facing monuments to former Presidents of the United States, and to individuals and events relating to the discovery of America, the founding of the United States, and the abolition of slavery. Such works of art are to be designed to be appreciated by the public and by those who use and interact with Federal buildings. When an artwork commissioned by GSA is meant to depict a historically significant American, the artwork is required to be a lifelike or realistic representation of that person, not an abstract or modernist representation. With the implementation of the 2025 policy, the AiA program seeks to commission works from American artists that “portray historically significant Americans or events of American historical significance or illustrate the ideals upon which our nation was founded.” Since 1972, GSA has awarded over 500 commissions to artists with established careers and artists of local and regional prominence. In support of the AiA program’s goal to commission the most talented contemporary American artists to create works for the nation’s important new civic buildings, it is necessary to identify those artists. The GSA National Artist Registry (Registry) offers the opportunity for artists across the country to participate and to be considered for commissions. |

Incident Reporting for the Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau
Key Information
Abstract
The ORR Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau (UACB) 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 consider them for licensure 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 ensure that serious issues are elevated to ORR and that all incidents, and responses to such incidents, are documented and resolved in a way that protects the interests of unaccompanied alien children. ORR is in the process of reorganizing its information collections to better manage its large portfolio of forms. As part of that reorganization effort, ORR is submitting this request to transfer six existing forms (with revisions) currently approved under OMB# 0970-0547 under a new OMB control number. |
