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.

RCRA Section 3007 Survey for Drum Reconditioning Facilities (NEW)

Key Information

Abstract

The reconditioning and recycling processes provided by used container reconditioning facilities offer important economic and environmental advantages by requiring less energy and resources to meet the demand for industrial containers than required to create new containers. However, if not done in an environmentally safe manner, these processes can negatively impact the surrounding communities. To gain greater understanding of current industry practices and environmental impacts, EPA is seeking information directly from the container reconditioning industry through an Information Collection Request (ICR.) The EPA will conduct this ICR through an RCRA Section 3007 Survey of Container Reconditioning Facilities. Through this ICR, EPA hopes to better understand the issues and impacts of how these containers are being managed and develop potential solutions that would ensure protection of human health and the environment. These steps could include non-regulatory approaches, like best management practices, or revisions to waste regulations. On August 11, 2023, the EPA published the Used Drum Management and Reconditioning Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM.) The EPA requested information and comments to assist in addressing concerns about used industrial containers that previously held hazardous chemicals or hazardous waste. This effort was initiated in response to the EPAs 2022 Drum Reconditioner Damage Case Report that identified incidents damaging to human health and the environment from used industrial containers, as well as necessary, costly and sometimes dangerous cleanup efforts with unknown chemicals required by EPA or other environmental agencies. On November 1, 2023, EPA continued their efforts to gather information by hosting a virtual meeting to discuss the issues surrounding the management of used industrial containers and the reconditioning of these containers. The survey requests information about standard practices, training, reconditioning methods, safety and security, environmental permitting, wastewater, solid waste, air pollution and pollution control technology. The results of this information collection request will give the EPA a more comprehensive perspective on the regulatory framework governing the container reconditioning industry and help the EPA identify the most effective options to ensure proper management of used industrial containers.

Closed Captioning of Video Programming Delivered Using Internet Protocol, and Apparatus Closed Caption Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

In July 2024, the Commission adopted rules requiring manufacturers of covered apparatus and multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) to make closed captioning display settings readily accessible to individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing. The Commission will determine whether settings are readily accessible to consumers by evaluating the following factors: proximity, discoverability, previewability, and consistency and persistence. The compliance deadline will be after the Office of Management and Budget completes its review of any new or modified information collection requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act or August 17, 2026, whichever is later. The previously approved burden estimates set forth below for requests for a Commission determination of technical feasibility of apparatus closed caption requirements, requests for a Commission determination of achievability of apparatus closed caption requirements, and complaints alleging violations of the apparatus closed caption requirements, all are sufficient to encompass any such filings resulting from the new rule. The 2024 Caption Display Settings Order imposes two new information collection requirements.

Evaluation of the REL West Supporting Early Reading Comprehension through Teacher Study Groups Toolkit

Key Information

Abstract

The current authorization for the Regional Educational Laboratories (REL) program is under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002, Part D, Section 174, (20 U.S.C. 9564), administered by the Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences (IES), National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance (NCEE). The central mission and primary function of the RELs is to support applied research and provide technical assistance to state and local education agencies within their region (ESRA, Part D, section 174[f]). The REL program's goal is to partner with educators and policymakers to conduct work that is change-oriented and supports meaningful local, regional, or state decisions about education policies, programs, and practices to improve outcomes for students. Elementary-grade students in U.S. public schools continue to struggle with reading comprehension, with only 35 percent of 4th-grade students performing at or above proficient on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scores in reading (Hussar et al., 2020). To address this problem in earlier grades, when schools begin reading comprehension instruction, REL West is developing a toolkit to support teachers in implementing evidence-based instructional strategies to improve reading comprehension among students in grades K–3. The toolkit is based on the Improving Reading Comprehension in Kindergarten Through 3rd Grade IES practice guide (Shanahan et al., 2010) and is being developed in collaboration with state and district partners in Arizona. The toolkit contains the following three parts: 1) Initial Diagnostic and On-going Monitoring Instruments, 2) Professional Development Resources, and 3) Steps for Institutionalizing Supports for Evidence-Based Practice. This study is designed to measure the efficacy and implementation of the REL West-developed toolkit designed to improve reading comprehension among students in grades K–3. The toolkit evaluation team plans to conduct an independent evaluation using a school-level, cluster randomized controlled trial design to assess the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the school-based professional development resources included in the toolkit. The evaluation will take place in 70 schools across six districts in Arizona and focus on K–3 reading comprehension for all students. The evaluation will also assess how teachers and facilitators implement the toolkit to provide context for the efficacy findings and guidance to improve the toolkit and its future use. The toolkit evaluation will produce a report for district and school leaders who are considering strategies to improve reading comprehension in kindergarten through 3rd grade. The report will be designed to help district and school leaders decide whether and how to use the toolkit to help them implement the practice guide recommendations.

Recording Assignments

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information is required by 35 U.S.C. §§ 261 and 262 for patents and 15 U.S.C. §§ 1057 and 1060 for trademarks. These statutes authorize the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to record patent and trademark assignment documents, including transfers of properties (i.e., patents and trademarks), liens, licenses, assignments of interest, security interests, mergers, and explanations of transactions or other documents that record the transfer of ownership of a particular patent or trademark property from one party to another. Assignments are recorded for applications, patents, and trademark registrations. In accordance with 37 CFR 3.54, the recording of an assignment document by the USPTO is an administrative action and not a determination of the validity of the document or of the effect that the document has on the title to an application, patent, or trademark. In order to record an assignment document, the respondent must submit an appropriate form along with copies of the assignment document to be recorded. Once the assignment documents are recorded, they are available for public inspection. The public uses these records to conduct ownership and chain-of-title searches. The only exceptions are those documents that are sealed under secrecy orders according to 37 CFR 3.58 or related to unpublished patent applications maintained in confidence under 35 U.S.C. § 122 and 37 CFR 1.14.

Definition and Requirements for a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (29 CFR 1910.7)

Key Information

Abstract

A number of standards issued by the OSHA contain requirements for equipment, products, or materials. These standards often specify that employers use only equipment, products, or material tested or approved by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory. This requirement ensures that employers use safe equipment, products, or materials in complying with the standards. Accordingly, OSHA promulgated the regulation 29 CFR 1910.7, "Definition and Requirements for a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory." The Regulation specifies procedures that organizations must follow to apply for, and to maintain, OSHA's recognition to test and certify equipment, products, or material for this purpose.

HSWMS: Disposal of CCR from Electric Utilities; Federal CCR Permit Program (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR amends the previously approved ICR (EPA ICR Number 1189.28), OMB Control No. 2050-0053, which covers the Identification, Listing and Rulemaking Petitions under the authority of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended, codified under 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 257. This ICR package (EPA ICR Number 2810.01) represents the new information collection requirements imposed by the proposed rule titled Hazardous and Solid Waste Management System: Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals from Electric Utilities; Federal CCR Permit Program; Proposed Rule. The EPA published a final rule to regulate the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) from electric utilities as solid waste under RCRA Subtitle D. See 80 Fed. Reg. 21302 (April 17, 2015). EPA established national minimum criteria for existing and new CCR landfills and CCR surface impoundments and all lateral expansions to include location restrictions, design and operating criteria, groundwater monitoring and corrective action, closure requirements and post-closure care, and recordkeeping, notification, and internet posting requirements. Since the final rule, several court decisions have required accelerated closure timelines for many units. The Part A Proposed Rule incorporates the results of the court decisions and establishes processes for units to receive closure extensions beyond the court-mandated deadlines. In December 2016, Congress passed, and the President signed the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act, amending section 4005 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The WIIN Act, among other things, requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) to implement a federal coal combustion residuals (CCR) permit program in Indian country and, subject to the availability of appropriations specifically provided to carry out a program, to implement a federal CCR permit program in nonparticipating states. The Fiscal Year 2018 and 2019 Omnibus Appropriations Acts provided appropriations to EPA to develop and implement a federal permit program for the regulation of CCR in nonparticipating states. In the action this ICR accompanies, the Agency is proposing to establish a federal CCR permit program in accordance with the requirements of the WIIN Act.

Sheltered Workshop Wage Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

Sheltered workshops are private non-profit organizations or institutions that implement a recognized program of rehabilitation for handicapped workers, or provide such workers with remunerative employment or other occupational rehabilitative activity of an educational or therapeutic nature. Sheltered workshops perform a service for their clients by reporting monthly wages directly to SSA. SSA uses the information these workshops provide to verify and post monthly wages to the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipient's record. Most workshops report monthly wage totals to their local SSA office so we can adjust the client's SSI payment amount in a timely manner and prevent overpayments. Sheltered workshops are motivated to report wages voluntarily as a service to their clients. Respondents are sheltered workshops that report monthly wages for services performed in the workshop.

Requirements for Patent Applications Containing Nucleotide Sequence and/or Amino Acid Sequence Disclosures

Key Information

Abstract

Patent applications that contain nucleotide and/or amino acid sequence disclosures must include a copy of the sequence listing in accordance with the requirements in 37 CFR 1.821-1.825. Applicants submit copies of sequence listings for both U.S. and international biotechnology patent applications. The USPTO uses the sequence listings during the examination process to determine the patentability of the associated patent application. The USPTO also uses the sequence listings to support publication of patent applications and issued patents. Sequence listings are searchable after publication. This information collection covers the submission of the sequence listing information itself. Information pertaining to the filing of the initial U.S. patent application is collected under OMB Control Number 0651-0032, and information pertaining to the filing of the initial international application is collected under OMB Control Number 0651-0021. In particular, this information collection accounts for sequence listings submitted on paper, compact disc (CD), or through EFS-Web, the USPTO’s online filing system. Sequence listings may be submitted via EFS-Web as an ASCII text file or in Portable Document Format (PDF). For U.S. applications, § 1.821(c) permits all modes of submission: paper, CD, or EFS-Web. Sequence listings for international applications may be submitted on paper or through EFS-Web only, though sequence listings that are too large to be filed electronically though EFS-Web may be submitted on CD. This information collection also accounts for the requirement under § 1.821(e) that a copy of the sequence listing required by § 1.821(c) be submitted in computer readable form (CRF) in accordance with the requirements of § 1.824. Under §§ 1.821(e)–(f), applicants who submit their sequence listings on paper, CD, or as a PDF via EFS-Web must submit a copy of the sequence listing in CRF with a statement indicating that the CRF copy of the sequence listing is identical to the paper, CD, or PDF copy provided under § 1.821(c). Applicants may submit the CRF copy of the sequence listing to the USPTO on CD or other acceptable media as provided in § 1.824. If a new application is filed via EFS-Web with an ASCII text file sequence listing that complies with the requirements of §§ 1.824(a)(2)–(6) and (b), and applicant has not filed a sequence listing on paper, CD or as a PDF file, the text file will serve as both the copy required by § 1.821(c) and the CRF required by § 1.821(e). Moreover, the associated statement of identity would not be required. This information collection also covers the mechanism in § 1.821(e) where an applicant may request, in limited circumstances, a transfer of the CRF from the application already on file to the new application, if the CRF sequence listing in a new application is identical to the CRF sequence listing of another application that the applicant already has on file at the USPTO. In such a case, the applicant may submit a letter identifying the application and CRF sequence listing that is already on file and stating that the sequence listing submitted in the new application is identical to the CRF copy already filed with the previous application. The USPTO provides a form, Request for Transfer of a Computer Readable Form Under 37 CFR 1.821(e) (PTO/SB/93), in order to assist customers in submitting this statement.

Abstract

The data is integral to the Commission’s ability to ensure the integrity of the AbilityOne Program, which allows qualified NPAs employing people who are blind or have significant disabilities to collectively deliver $4 billion worth of products and services to the U.S. Government each year. The JWOD Act requires the Commission to monitor and validate several NPA performance outcomes. Additional data is needed to validate the effect and effectiveness of the AbilityOne Program in creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities and providing those individuals with the significant job supports and accommodations necessary for them to be successful.

Patent Petitions Related to Application and Reexamination Processing Fees

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is required by 35 U.S.C. § 131 et seq. to examine an application for patent and, when appropriate, issue a patent. The USPTO also is required to publish patent applications, with certain exceptions, promptly after the expiration of a period of eighteen months from the earliest filing date for which a benefit is sought under Title 35, United States Code. Many actions taken by the USPTO during its examination of an application for patent or for reissue of a patent, or during its reexamination of a patent, are subject to review by an appeal to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB); appeals to PTAB are covered in other OMB approved information collections (0651-0063 and 0651-0069). For other USPTO actions, review is in the form of administrative review obtained via submission of a petition to the USPTO. USPTO petitions practice also provides an opportunity for a patent applicant or owner to supply additional information that may be required in order for the USPTO to further process an application or patent. This information collection covers petitions filed in patent applications and reexamination proceedings that, when submitted to the USPTO, must be accompanied by the fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(f), (g), or (h). This information collection also covers the transmittals for the petitions fees.

Patent Term Extension and Adjustment

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection covers information gathered in patent term extension applications submitted under 35 U.S.C. 156(d). Under this provision, an application for patent term extension must identify the approved product; the patent to be extended; and the claims included in the patent that cover the approved product, a method of using the approved product, or a method of manufacturing the approved product. 35 U.S.C. 156(d) also requires the submission of information that enables the USPTO to determine the eligibility of the patent for extension, and the rights that will be derived from the extension, and information to enable the USPTO and the Secretary of Health and Human Services or the Secretary of Agriculture to determine the period of the extension. Additionally, 35 U.S.C. 156(d) requires the applicant for patent term extension to provide a brief description of the activities undertaken by the applicant during the regulatory review period with respect to the approved product and the significant dates of these activities. This information collection also covers information gathered in requests for interim extensions pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) and 156(e)(2). Under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5), an interim extension may be granted if the applicable regulatory review period that began for a product is reasonably expected to extend beyond the expiration of the patent term in effect. Under 35 U.S.C. 156(e)(2), an interim extension may be granted if the term of an eligible patent for which an application for patent term extension has been submitted would expire before a certificate of extension is issued. In addition, this information collection covers requests for review of final eligibility decisions, and requests to withdraw an application requesting a patent term extension after it is submitted.
