Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
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.

| 202507-0607-005 | High Frequency Surveys Program Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (September, October, December) | DOC/CENSUS | 2025-08-20 | Received in OIRA | Revision of a currently approved collection
High Frequency Surveys Program Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (September, October, December)
Key Information
Abstract
The High-Frequency Surveys Program was established as a natural progression from the creation of the Household Pulse Survey. The Census Bureau developed the Household Pulse Survey to produce near real-time data in a time of urgent and acute need to inform federal and state action in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Changes in the measures over time provided insight into individuals’ experiences on social and economic dimensions during the period of the pandemic. It has evolved to include content on other emergent social and economic issues facing households and is designed to supplement the federal statistical system’s traditional benchmark data products with a new data source that provides relevant and timely information based on a high-quality sample frame, data integration, and cooperative expertise. In January 2025, the HPS and CHP will be relaunched as the Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (HTOPS). The HTOPS will continue the strong tradition of the HPS by rapidly providing insight into national events that have social and economic impacts on U.S. households. It will complement more traditional federal surveys by producing data much closer to real time as the events develop and with the new longitudinal design, have the ability to track changes over time. Along with HPS content, the survey will enable the Census Bureau to address research and content development needs for its census and survey programs. The HTOPS will be one more tool among the Census Bureau's data collection efforts to provide the nation with quality, up-to-date information that informs our future. |

Key Information
Abstract
VA Form 21P-601 is used to gather the information necessary to determine a claimant’s entitlement to accrued benefits. Accrued benefits are amounts of VA benefits due, but unpaid, to beneficiary at the time of his or her death. Benefits are paid to eligible survivors based on the priority described in 38 U.S.C. §5121(a). When there are no eligible survivors entitled to accrued benefits based on their relationship to the deceased beneficiary, the person or persons who bore the expenses of the beneficiary’s last illness and burial may claim reimbursement for these expenses from accrued amounts. |

The federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) statute requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to collect data annually from all LIHEAP grant recipients regarding the status of obligated and unobligated funding (42 U.S.C. § 8626). The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), which is the agency in HHS that administers LIHEAP, shall not make payment to a grant recipient for a fiscal year (FY) unless the grant recipient has complied with this reporting requirement with respect to the prior fiscal year. The amount held available from a prior FY may not exceed 10% of the funds awarded for that FY [42 U.S.C. § 826(b)(2)(B)]. Funds exceeding 10% shall be reallotted in the following FY to all LIHEAP grant recipients [42 U.S.C. § 8626(b)(1)(C)]. ACF collects the amounts of unobligated funding from LIHEAP grant recipients on the LIHEAP Carryover and Reallotment Report (CRR). According to HHS block grant regulations at 45 CFR § 96.81, the CRR must contain the following information: (1) The amount of funds that the grant recipient requests to hold available for obligation in the following fiscal year, not to exceed 10% of the funds payable to the grant recipient; (2) a statement of the reasons that this amount to remain available will not be used in the fiscal year for which it was allotted; (3) a description of the types of assistance to be provided with the amount held available; and (4) the amount of funds, if any, to be subject to reallotment. The form as approved includes three lines that cover unobligations from the following sources: (1) regular LIHEAP funds, including those reallotted from the prior year; (2) supplemental funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) [Public Law (Pub. L.) 117-58]; and (3) supplemental funds from other sources. The proposed changes include the addition of three lines covering awards from the same sources and minor updates to numbering and wording. |

Collection of Research Code Non-Disclosure Agreement Information
Key Information
Abstract
This information collection request is an Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) used for domestic and foreign entities to obtain and use the NRC’s nuclear safety analytical computer codes. NRC develops and uses computer codes to independently model and evaluate safety issues associated with the licensed use of radioactive materials. As a global leader in nuclear regulatory research and safety assessment, NRC is frequently approached by domestic and international organizations requesting copies of NRC computer codes. In general, to obtain an NRC code an individual or organization first agrees to not redistribute the code (i.e., non-disclosure) through an NDA. The NDA also imposes terms and conditions for code use, and requires notification to NRC of code errors, code modifications, and updated user information. An officially signed and executed NDA of users agreeing to the terms and conditions is current NRC practice for access to NRC-developed computer codes. Once the NDA has been signed, received, reviewed, and accepted, the requesting individual or organization is given access to the requested code. The information collection enables the NRC to ensure that proper procedures and agreements are in place to guide the distribution and use of these codes according to NRC and U.S. Government policies and international agreements such as import-export restrictions and intellectual property rights. Further information collection on code errors and modifications by code users permits NRC to maintain control and quality of its codes in a timely and efficient manner. |

Part 108 Permitted and Certificated Operators
Key Information
Abstract
The FAA is proposing to establish requirements for conducting UAS operations BVLOS in United States airspace. This collection concerns the reporting, disclosing and recordkeeping requirements placed on operators of UAS operating under part 108. The normalization of BVLOS flight is the FAA’s next step in rulemaking towards the integration of UAS into the NAS, which has been a key priority of the FAA over the last two decades. The BVLOS NPRM proposes an operational framework that enables two different categories of operators: permitted operators and certificated operators. Certificated operators are afforded more privileges; therefore, there is a higher burden to obtain an operating certificate vis-à-vis an operating permit. Together, permitted operators and certificated operators represent the entire universe of respondents for this collection. |

Part 108 MOC and DOC
Key Information
Abstract
The Department of Transportation (DOT) submits this draft Supporting Statement to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in preparation for requesting an approach for information collections to the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled “Normalizing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Beyond Visual Line of Sight Operations (BVLOS)” (the BVLOS NPRM) (RIN 2120-AL82). The BVLOS NPRM proposes an enabling rule. This collection applies only to operators who desire to retain the benefit of being able to fly unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) BVLOS or otherwise under the proposed part 108 and is not imposed on all operators of UAS. DOT requests approval of this information collection that includes information a person submits to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) when seeking acceptance for either a means of compliance (MOC) or declaration of compliance (DOC) used in the manufacture of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to be operated under proposed part 108. The MOC and DOC are critical components of the airworthiness acceptance framework of the proposed rule to ensure UAS meet the performance-based requirements for beyond visual line of sight operations. |

Certification of Airmen for the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
This information collection mandates that applicants who wish to obtain or maintain certification as sport pilots or light sports aircraft flight instructors report information to the FAA on occasion. The Airman certificate and/or Rating Application Form and the required records/logbooks/statements required by the federal regulations are submitted to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) district offices or its representatives to determine qualifications of the applicant for issuance of a pilot or instructor certificate, rating, privilege, or authorization. Since light-sport airman certificates do not expire, these information-reporting and recordkeeping activities are conducted on occasion (i.e., when an individual decides to pursue a light-sport airman certificate, or fails a knowledge or practical test and decides to retake that test). There is no requirement for periodic re-testing or certificate-renewal. Approximately 10,000 pilots and flight instructors have sought certification to date. Applicants for a new certificate for the student pilot, sport pilot, ground, and flight instructor with a sport pilot rating or new category or class privileges are required to submit FAA Form 8710-11, Sport Pilot Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application. |
