What is an ICR?

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.

When are they submitted?

Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, 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.

Where to find an ICR?

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.

Alien Claims Activity Report

Key Information

Abstract

The USCIS verification system, commonly called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlement (SAVE) Program, is currently available to and being utilized by the states. To comply with its responsibilities under the SSA, the Department of Labor (Department) must gather information from state agencies concerning alien claimant activities. The Alien Claimant Activity Report is the only source available for collecting this information. The report allows the Department to determine the number of aliens filing for unemployment insurance (UI), the number of benefit issues detected and the denials resulting from the USCIS SAVE system. From these data, the Department can determine the extent to which state agencies use the system, and the overall effectiveness and cost efficiency of the USCIS SAVE verification system.

Federal Acknowledgment as an Indian Tribe, 25 CFR 83

Key Information

Abstract

Submission of this information allows the Office of Federal Acknowledgment (OFA), within the Office of the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs, to review groups’ documented petitions for the Federal acknowledgment as an Indian tribe. The acknowledgment regulations at 25 CFR 83 contain seven criteria that unrecognized groups seeking Federal acknowledgment as Indian tribes must demonstrate that they meet. Information collected from petitioning groups under these regulations provide anthropological, genealogical, and historical data used by the AS-IA to establish whether a petitioning group has the characteristics necessary to be acknowledged as a continuously existing Indian tribe. Federal acknowledgment establishes a government-to-government relationship with the United States. Respondents are not required to retain copies of the information submitted to OFA but will probably maintain copies for their own use; therefore, there is no recordkeeping requirement included in this information collection.

Abstract

The information disclosed by Rule 606 of Regulation NMS will be used by investors to evaluate their brokers' order routing decisions, and by broker-dealers to compete on the basis of order routing services. Respondents will be broker-dealers. The Commission adopted amendments to Rule 606 of Regulation NMS to require disclosure by broker-dealers of (1) a report, upon request of a customer that places with the broker-dealer, directly or indirectly, NMS stock orders of any size that are submitted on a not held basis (subject to two de minimis exceptions), containing certain information on the broker-dealer’s handling of such orders for that customer for the prior six months (“Customer-Specific Disclosure on Handling of Non-Exempt Not Held Orders”); (2) a quarterly aggregated public report on the handling of orders in NMS stocks that are submitted on a held basis and orders in NMS securities that are option contracts with a market value less than $50,000 (“Quarterly Public Disclosure on Routing of Held Orders and Options Contracts”); and (3) a report, upon request of a customer, on the routing of that customer’s orders in NMS stocks that are submitted on a held basis; orders in NMS stocks that are submitted on a not held basis and do not qualify for the two de minimis exceptions; and orders in NMS securities that are option contracts, containing certain information on the broker-dealer’s routing of such orders for that customer for the prior six months. The amendments to Rule 606 would require collections of information.

Pesticide Registration Fees Program (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) covers the paperwork burden hours and costs associated with the information collection activities under the pesticide registration fee programs implemented through the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Pesticide registrants are required by statute to pay an annual registration maintenance fee for all products registered under Section 3 and Section 24(c) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Additionally, Section 33 of FIFRA establishes statutory fees and timeframes for EPAs review of covered applications. PRIA 5 which was enacted December 2022, did many things including that it extended the authority to collect pesticide maintenance fees through FY2027 and the authority to collect pesticide registration service fees through FY2029.This ICR specifically covers the activities related to the collection of the annual registration maintenance fees, the registration service fees, and the burden associated with the submission of requests for fees to be waived.

Standards for Pesticide Containers and Containment (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with the pesticide container design and residue removal requirements and containment structure requirements. With respect to the container design and residue removal requirements, the information collection activities are associated with the requirement that businesses subject to the container regulations (pesticide registrants) and repackaging regulations (pesticide registrants and refillers) maintain records of test data, cleaning procedures, certain data when a container is refilled, and other supporting information. These records are subject to both call-in by EPA and on-site inspection by EPA and its representatives. EPA has not established a regular schedule for the collection of these records, and there is no reporting. With respect to the containment structure requirements, the information collection activities are associated with the requirement that businesses subject to the containment structure regulations maintain records of the: (1) Monthly inspection and maintenance of each containment structure and all stationary bulk containers; (2) Duration over which non-stationary bulk containers holding pesticide and not protected by a secondary containment unit remain at the same location; and (3) Construction date of the containment structure. The businesses subject to the containment structure regulations include agrichemical retailers and refilling establishments, custom blenders and commercial applicators of agricultural pesticides. The records have to be maintained by the owners and operators of such businesses and made available to inspectors to ensure that businesses are in compliance with containment requirements. These inspections are generally conducted by the states, which enforce FIFRA regulations through cooperative agreements with EPA.

Notice of Arrival of Pesticides and Devices under section 17(c) of FIFRA (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the importation of pesticides and pesticide devices into the United States. FIFRAs definition of pesticides is broad and includes any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest (e.g., rodenticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and antimicrobials) and certain other substances such as plant growth regulators and any nitrogen stabilizers; the definition also includes substances imported for pesticide research and development purposes. FIFRAs definition of pesticide devices include any instrument or contrivance (other than a firearm) which is intended for trapping, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest or any other form of plant or animal life. FIFRA section 17(c) governs the importation process for pesticides and pesticide devices into the U.S., while FIFRA 17(e) authorizes the U.S. Department of the Treasury, in consultation with the EPA, to promulgate regulations implementing pesticide and device trade enforcement. This authority was delegated to the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in 2003. CBP regulations, developed in concert with the EPA, give the EPA specific roles in the importation process.

Quick Response for Cooperator-funded Surveys Generic Clearance

Key Information

Abstract

This generic clearance covers a variety of surveys that will provide valuable statistics to sponsoring cooperators. These data are needed by the cooperators in time frames that make individual clearances impractical. This generic clearance will go through the regular clearance process at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) with a 60-day notice and a 30-day notice as part of the 120-day review period. This generic clearance package describes the general scope of the surveys, their quick turnaround time, their length, size of sample, sample design, and some typical topics. Each individual survey will go into the clearance process with an abbreviated clearance package that will justify the particular content of the survey, describe the sample design, the timeline for the survey activities, and the questionnaire. The review period for each individual survey is approximately 45 days, including a 30-day Federal Register notice period. OMB will provide comments as soon after the end of the 30-day notice period as possible. This generic clearance approval is for a three-year period.

FERC-725B, Nonsubstantive submission, Adding Voluntary Requests for Cybersecurity Incentives to Mandatory Reliability Standards for Critical Infrastructure Protection

Key Information

Abstract

Revisions in RD24-3 NERC states that proposed Reliability Standard CIP-012-2 improves upon and expands the protections required by Reliability Standard CIP-012-1 by requiring responsible entities to mitigate the risk posed by loss of availability of communication links and Real-time Assessment and Real-time monitoring data transmitted between Control Centers. Proposed Reliability Standard CIP-012-2 adds two new provisions to Requirement R1 that address availability by requiring (1) protections for the availability of data in transit and (2) protections to initiate recovery of lost (i.e., unavailable) communication links. NERC also requests approval of the associated implementation plan, the associated violation risk factors and violation severity levels, and retirement of Reliability Standard CIP-012-1 immediately prior to the effective date of CIP-012-2. The 24-month implementation period is proposed to afford responsible entities sufficient time to implement the new controls and coordinate with other responsible entities that own or operate Control Centers as required in proposed Reliability Standard CIP-012-2. The information collection in the final rule implements section 219A of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824s-1), which requires the Commission to encourage utilities to: (1) invest in advanced cybersecurity technology, and (2) participate in information sharing regarding cybersecurity threats. The final rule includes information collection activities for voluntary submission of requests for cybersecurity incentives, and annual informational filings that would be mandatory for utilities receiving such incentives. In order to obtain Commission approval, the cybersecurity measures proposed by a utility must materially improve cybersecurity through either an investment in advanced cybersecurity technology or participation in a cybersecurity threat information sharing program(s); and must not be already mandated by Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Reliability Standards, or otherwise mandated by local, state, or Federal law. As previously approved, the information collection at FERC-725B implements CIP Reliability Standards that require entities to comply with specific requirements to safeguard critical cyber assets. Neither the final rule nor the additional burdens in this information collection request would affect the previously approved mandatory CIP Reliability Standards.

Supporting Statement for Agent/Broker Consent Information Collection (CMS-10840)

Key Information

Abstract

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, enacted on March 23, 2010, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, Public Law 111-152, enacted on March 30, 2010 (collectively, “Affordable Care Act”), expanded access to health insurance for individuals and employees of small businesses through the establishment of new Affordable Insurance Exchanges (Exchanges), also called Marketplaces. The Exchanges, which became operational on January 1, 2014, enhance competition in the health insurance market, expand access to affordable health insurance for millions of Americans, and provide consumers with a place to easily compare and shop for health insurance coverage. Section 1312(e) of the Affordable Care Act directs the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish procedures under which a state may permit agents and brokers to enroll qualified individuals and employers into qualified health plans (QHPs) offered through an Exchange and to enable these agents and brokers to assist individuals in applying for advance payments of the premium tax credit and cost-sharing reductions. Authority for collection of this information comes from 45 C.F.R. §155.220(c)(5), which states that “HHS or its designee may periodically monitor and audit an agent, broker, or web-broker under this subpart to assess its compliance with the applicable requirements of this section.” This information collection specifically details what information will be required to be collected and maintained by agents, brokers, and web-brokers were they to receive a request from HHS for consent records. Currently, HHS only plans to collect information from a small percentage of agents, brokers, or web-brokers in conjunction with active investigations of potential fraud. Utilizing §155.220(c)(5) and the information to be collected under newly proposed §§ 155.220(j)(2)(ii)(A)(1-2) and 155.220(j)(2)(iii)(A-C), HHS will be able to verify whether or not an agent, broker, or web-broker has obtained consent from a consumer they are assisting in enrolling in coverage in the individual market, and whether the consumer has reviewed their eligibility information and confirmed its accuracy.

Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery Grant Reporting and National Materials Management Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR) Resource Conservation and Sustainability Division (RCSD) requires the ability to collect consistent and timely information from grant recipients receiving EPA funding originating from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, (also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)). Additionally, in order to carry out the Agency’s obligations under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), RCSD needs broad-based national information on waste streams and materials management practices. This ICR covers two related information collections that are essential for RCSD to properly understand current conditions and promote interventions that can lead to a more sustainable future. One is based on the collection of progress and final reports from Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling (SWIFR) and Recycling Education and Outreach (REO) grant recipients. The reports provide the Agency with necessary administrative information, documentation of grant outputs and outcomes, and for many grantees, data on the volume of materials and types of waste management methods they employ. EPA plans to use a web-based data management system to facilitate the collection and processing of these reports from grantees. The second proposed information collection is a voluntary annual survey to gather detailed information from all U.S. states and territories about their existing waste management programs, capacities, and throughputs. Survey respondents will also be grant recipients and the same electronic data management system can be used to collect and process survey results.

Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with EPAs final rule establishing new, more protective emissions standards for criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHG) for light-duty vehicles and Class 2b and 3 ("medium-duty") vehicles that will phase-in generally over model years 2027 through 2032. In addition, EPA is finalizing GHG program revisions in several areas, including off-cycle and air conditioning credits, the treatment of upstream emissions associated with zero-emission vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in compliance calculations, medium-duty vehicle incentive multipliers, and vehicle certification and compliance. EPA is also establishing new standards to control refueling emissions from incomplete medium-duty vehicles, and battery durability and warranty requirements for light-duty and medium-duty plug-in electric vehicles. EPA is also finalizing minor amendments to update program requirements related to aftermarket fuel conversions, importing vehicles and engines, evaporative emission test procedures, and test fuel specifications for measuring fuel economy. The new emission standards will apply to manufacturers beginning with MY 2027. Data would be submitted annually, consistent with EPAs existing certification program requirements. Information activities associated with the final rule are largely covered by existing emission certification and reporting requirements for EPAs light-duty vehicle (LDV) and medium-duty (MDV) emission control program. To avoid duplication, this information collection statement covers only the incremental burden associated with the final rule, as briefly described in Section 12 below and in more detail in Supplemental Information, Section 8. Concerning other aspects of the rule, manufacturers already submit the data that would be required for certification to the revised standards to EPAs certification system (under programmatic ICRs); there would be a change only to the specific data, not to its reporting. The programmatic information collection request is: EPA ICR 0783.65, OMB Control Number 2060-0104, Motor Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Economy Compliance (Renewal)
