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.

Personal Identity Validation for Routine and Intermittent Access to NASA Facilities, Sites, and Information Systems
Key Information
Abstract
Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) established a mandatory requirement for a Government-wide identity verification standard. In compliance with HSPD-12, NIST Federal Information Processing Standard 201, and OMB policy memorandum M-05-24/ Implementation of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12, NASA developed the Identity Management System (IdMAX) to manage identities, credentials, and access. IdMAX is an integrated enterprise environment that enables NASA to collect and process information from members of the public, covered by the Paperwork Reduction Act, who are seeking access to NASA sites, facilities, and systems for a time period greater than 30 days in a calendar year, and for all foreign national visitors regardless of their affiliation time. The information is used to validate identity and issue secure, reliable credentials. |

Building Evidence on Employment Strategies for Low-Income Families (BEES)
Key Information
Abstract
The overall purpose of the Building Evidence on Employment Strategies (BEES) study is to conduct rigorous evaluations of innovative interventions aimed at improving employment outcomes, advances in the labor market, and economic security for low-income individuals and families. Populations of particular interest for BEES include individuals facing substance and opioid use disorders, disability or mental health challenges, and their families; criminal justice-involved populations; or others at increased risk of enrolling in TANF or SSI/SSDI. While the target population and domains may vary, all interventions will include an employment services component. BEES includes impact and/or implementation studies of 20 different programs. ACF requests a non-substantive modification of the BEES survey token of appreciation structure as part of our ongoing efforts to address lower-than-expected response rates and observable non-response bias for the follow-up wave of key respondents. As indicated in the table above, response rates are falling short of the targets in many of the studies, and response rates are substantially lower for control group members than for program group members. In addition, refusal rates are higher than in similar studies at 12 percent, and only about 13 percent have been unlocatable. These response rates raise concern about whether BEES will produce unbiased estimates of the programs being studied. The proposed increase in token of appreciation comes after many other efforts to address these concerns. The included nonsubstantive change memo highlights ACF’s efforts to date to secure the planned number of responses and address emerging non-response bias; describes proposed changes for the final phase of survey fielding; and explains the hypothesized benefits of the proposed approach and terms for assessment of the effort. |

Origin and Destination Survey
Key Information
Abstract
The Origin and Destination Survey (OND) is a mandatory collection according to Section 14, Part 241, Section 19-7, Origin and Destination Survey. The Respondents are Air Carriers that operate aircraft with 61 or greater seats and/or, operate an international route. This collection is considered a reporting collection with survey.

National Ferry Database Survey
Key Information
Abstract
The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA–21) (P.L. 105-178), section 1207(c) [see Attachment I], directed the Secretary of Transportation to conduct a study of ferry transportation in the United States and its possessions. In 2000, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Intermodal and Statewide Planning conducted a survey (OMB Approval Number 2125-0584) of approximately 250 ferry operators to identify: (1) existing ferry operations including the location and routes served; (2) source and amount, if any, of funds derived from Federal, State, or local governments supporting ferry construction or operations; (3) potential domestic ferry routes in the United States and its possessions and to develop information on those routes; and (4) potential for use of high speed ferry services and alternative-fueled ferry services. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act—A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) Public Law 109-59, Section 1801(e) [see Attachment II] requires that the Secretary, acting through the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), shall establish and maintain (biennially) a national ferry database containing current information regarding routes, vessels, passengers and vehicles carried, funding sources and such other information as the Secretary considers useful. Recently enacted FAST Act [Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (P.L. 114-94, Sec. 1112) - see Attachment IV], continues the BTS mandate to conduct the National Census of Ferry Operators (NCFO) and requires that the FHWA use the NCFO data as input to the specific formula for allocating federal ferry funds ($80 million for 62016 through 2020). The funding allocations are based on a percentage of the number of passenger boardings, vehicle boardings, and route miles served. |

Certification of Glazing Materials
Key Information
Abstract
In this final rule, FRA is amending its Safety Glazing Standards for exterior windows on railroad equipment to codify long-standing waivers, add a new testing option to improve consistency of glazing testing, and revise outdated section headings. The changes update and clarify existing requirements to maintain and, in some cases, enhance safety, while reducing unnecessary costs. Codification of the waivers is also consistent with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and will enable FRA to use its inspection resources more efficiently. The collection of information under 49 CFR part 223 is mission critical and allows FRA to promote and enhance rail safety throughout the United States. Specifically, the Safety Glazing Standards regulations contain minimum safety requirements for glazing materials in the windows of locomotives, passenger cars, and cabooses. This collection of information is mandatory, collected as needed, and it involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements. |

Key Information
Abstract
This request is for an extension of the current information collection 1845-0038 that is expiring. This collection pertains to the recordkeeping requirements contained in the regulations related to the administration of the Subpart K - Cash Management section of the Student Assistance General Provisions. The regulatory language has not changed. These program regulations are designed to provide benefits to Title IV, HEA applicants, and protect the taxpayers' interest. The information collection requirements in these regulations are necessary to provide students with required information about their eligibility to receive funding under the federal student financial aid programs and to prevent fraud and abuse of program funds by allowing students to reduce or reject aid being offered as well as being made aware of when such funding can be expected to be available. |

Interagency Guidance on Leveraged Lending
Key Information
Abstract
This guidance outlines for agency-supervised institutions high-level principles related to safe-and-sound leveraged lending activities, including underwriting considerations, assessing and documenting enterprise value, risk management expectations for credits awaiting distribution, stress-testing expectations, pipeline portfolio management, and risk management expectations for exposures held by the institution. This guidance applies to all financial institutions supervised by the OCC, Board, and FDIC that engage in leveraged lending activities. The number of community banks with substantial involvement in leveraged lending is small; therefore, the agencies generally expect community banks to be largely unaffected by this guidance. |
