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, or 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.
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.

ACF Performance Progress Report - Program Indicators
Key Information
Abstract
The Office of Grants Management (OGM), in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proposing the continued collection of program performance data for ACF’s discretionary grantees. In 2016, OGM developed the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B to collect this data based on the basic template of the OMB-approved reporting format of the Program Performance Report. The form was renewed in 2019 with no changes. OGM now seeks to renew the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B for continued use by ACF with minor changes to improve the function of the form and utility to the federal government. This includes the addition of a program indicator to collect information on activities recipients conducted during the reporting period to address or advance equity. Addition of this program indicator supports the Biden-Harris Administration’s equity agenda as outlined in Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. Other minor updates are described in A15 of Supporting Statement A. The requirement for grantees to report on performance is OMB grants policy. Specific citations are contained in: (1) 2 CFR 215 Uniform Administrative Requirements, cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards and (2) 45 CFR 75, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Department of Health and Human Services Awards. The Office of Grants Management (OGM), in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proposing to update the form used for the collection of program performance data for ACF’s discretionary grant recipients. In 2016, OGM developed the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B to collect this data based on the basic template of the OMB-approved reporting format of the Program Performance Report and has renewed approval since implementation. OGM has made updates to the instructions to ensure they are current and clear and revised a program indicator in response to Executive Order 14151, Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferences. This is a request for revisions to reword the submission instructions, change of the term grantee to recipient and remove an equity-related activity program indicator. |

Coronavirus Economic Relief for Transportation Services (CERTS)
Key Information
Abstract
On December 27, 2020, the President signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the “Act”). Division N, Title IV, Subtitle B, Section 421 of the Act provides $2 billion for the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) to provide grants to eligible providers of transportation services (“Recipients”) under the Coronavirus Economic Relief for Transportation Services (“CERTS”) Program. Recipients include motorcoach companies, school bus companies, passenger vessel companies, and pilotage companies. Under Section 421 of the Act, Recipients must demonstrate significant revenue losses as a result of COVID-19, and must use grant funds for payroll costs and for other eligible operating expenses. A Recipient must submit an application to be considered for a CERTS grant. Treasury will review each application submitted by the deadline to validate company identity and eligibility, to assess the accuracy and completeness of information submitted, and to confirm other attributes consistent with the CERTS statute. All applications will be subject to uniform standards of review that will be applied equally. To determine grant amounts, Treasury will review each applicant’s financial information, such as annual revenues and year-over-year lost revenues, and apply a formula that provides each approved applicant with an equitable, proportionate share of the funding appropriated by Congress for the program. |

Standards for Success Reporting
Key Information
Abstract
This request is for the continued clearance of data collection and reporting requirements to enable the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Business Transformation (OBT) to better assess the effectiveness of discretionary-funded programs included in this information collection request (ICR). The discretionary-funded programs included in this ICR are the Multifamily Housing Service Coordinator Grant Program, the Multifamily Housing Budget-Based Service Coordinator Program, and the Resident Opportunity and Self Sufficiency Service Coordinator Grant Program (ROSS). This proposed collection, titled Standards for Success, has three key tenets which vastly improve data collection and reporting for participating programs. First is the standardization of data collection and reporting requirements across programs which increases data comparability and utilization. Second is the ability to report on measurable outcomes and aligning them with higher-level agency objectives. And third is the collection of record-level data, instead of aggregate data. Collecting de-identified data at the level of the service recipient allows for more meaningful analysis, improved management, and the ability to demonstrate the progress and achievements of the funding recipients and the programs. Standards for Success accepts data submission by direct data input through the HUD-funded GrantSolutions online data collection and reporting tool (OLDC) and by data file upload, accommodating file formats in Microsoft Excel or Extensible Markup Language (XML). |

Generic Clearance for the Collection of Formative Research on Agency Service Delivery
Key Information
Abstract
The mission of USDS is to deliver better government services through technology and design. In support of that mission, USDS engages directly with program applicants and beneficiaries, and other people who use or need to use the government systems and services we are helping to improve, and incorporates their feedback into our work and recommendations. By employing human-centered design practices like user research, USDS prioritizes the user’s needs and learns what works as quickly as possible, saving time and money while improving services to the public. USDS deploys small, responsive groups of designers, engineers, product managers, and other specialists to work with and empower civil servants, working with many agencies simultaneously. Under this generic clearance, USDS would engage in a variety of formative data collections with people who use or need to use government systems and services, such as program participants, practitioners, and service providers. The data collections would occur primarily through Discovery Sprints, which are short research projects designed to quickly understand complexities of systems or services in order to identify issues with service delivery, their root causes, and opportunities for improvement. Data collections would also occur during longer projects, as needed. USDS’s research serves to provide further understanding of whether people engaging directly with government services are having an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience. USDS anticipates undertaking a variety of new research projects related to social safety net and general welfare programs, economic recovery efforts, healthcare, and more. Many Federal agencies and field offices find a need to learn more about the public’s perceptions, experiences and expectations; early warnings of issues with service delivery; or areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. USDS envisions using a variety of techniques, including: • Pre-study self-identification questionnaires • Unmoderated comment cards/complaint forms • Unmoderated qualitative user experience surveys (e.g., post-transaction surveys; opt-out web surveys) • Unmoderated information architecture evaluative methods (e.g., card sorts; tree tests) • Unmoderated content evaluative methods • Long-term behavior and experience studies (e.g., diary study) • Focus groups • User research studies (e.g., user interviews; usability tests) • Program assessment questionnaires. Overall, this research will be designed to fulfill the following goals: (1) discover barriers to access that create inequities for users of government systems and services; (2) inform the development of USDS and agency research, (3) discover early warnings of issues with service delivery; and (4) 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 Federal agencies and the public. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. |
