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.

Disability Report - Child

Key Information

Abstract

SSA uses Form SSA-3820-BK to collect information about a child’s condition from treating sources or other medical sources of evidence. The State Disability Determination Services (DDS) evaluators use the information from Form SSA-3820-BK to develop medical and school evidence, and to assess the alleged disability. The information, together with medical evidence, forms the evidentiary basis upon which SSA makes its initial disability evaluation. The respondents are claimants seeking SSI childhood disability payments. Applicants can complete and print Form SSA-3820-BK and mail to SSA, or take the notification page (generated after completing the i3820) to their local Social Security field office (FO). The notification page serves as a back-up alert to the FOs that an applicant transmitted an internet disability report. When claimants do not complete an i3820, FO employees use the Electronic Disability Collect System (EDCS) internal collection process to key information provided by claimants onto EDCS screens to establish a database for the DDS adjudicators. We are submitting a Change Request to append the Disability Determination Ready Claim (DDRC) Certification Statement to this information collection in anticipation of respondents using it for the DDRC pilot.

Key Information

Abstract

The National Provider Identifier (NPI) Application and Update Form is used by health care providers to apply for NPIs and furnish updates to the information they supplied on their initial applications. The form is also used to deactivate their NPIs if necessary. The form is available on paper or can be completed via a web-based process. An NPI is expected to last for the "life" of the health care provider (i.e., until the death of an individual or until the dissolution of an organization); therefore, a health care provider applies for an NPI only one time. A health care provider must furnish updates to the required information given in the application whenever changes occur to those data. Updates can be mailed or submitted electronically.

2020/25 Beginning Postsecondary Students (BPS:20/25) Full-Scale Study

Key Information

Abstract

The 2020/25 Beginning Postsecondary Students Full-Scale Study (BPS:20/25) is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, part of the Institute of Education Sciences, within the Department of Education, and is part of the Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study data collection program at https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/bps/. BPS is designed to follow a cohort of students who enroll in postsecondary education for the first time during the same academic year, irrespective of the date of high school completion. The study collects data on students' persistence in and completion of postsecondary education programs; their transition to employment; demographic characteristics; and changes over time in their goals, marital status, income, and debt, among other indicators. Data from BPS are used to help researchers and policymakers better understand how financial aid influences persistence and completion, what percentages of students complete various degree programs, what are the early employment and wage outcomes for certificate and degree attainers, and why students leave school. The BPS:20/25 field test was completed during the 2023-24 academic year and was designed to test items and procedures for the upcoming full-scale study (see Appendix D of this submission with results of the two experiments embedded in the field test). BPS:20/25 will be a nationally-representative sample of approximately 28,650 students who were first-time beginning students during the 2019-20 academic year. These students will be asked to complete a survey and administrative data will also be collected for them. BPS:20/25 and other NCES postsecondary studies include data linkages with many existing sources of valuable data, listed in appendix B, including the Department of Education’s FAFSA Processing System (FPS), National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), and National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). These NCES studies also obtain data from postsecondary institution student records, information on military service records from Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), and admissions test scores from ACT and The College Board. Linkages to additional data providers, such as Experian and the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH), may be explored for BPS:20/25. As part of the clearance process for the previously submitted and approved Field Test package (OMB# 1850-0631 v.20), NCES published a notice in the Federal Register allowing first a 60- and then a 30-day public comment period. That submission was designed to adequately justify the need for and overall practical utility of the full study, presenting the overarching plan for all phases of the data collection and providing as much detail about the measures to be used as is available at the time of that submission. The materials for the BPS:20/25 full-scale study are based upon the field test materials. In order to clear the final materials for the BPS:20/25 full-scale study, NCES is publishing a notice in the Federal Register allowing an additional 30-day public comment period on the final details and materials of the BPS:20/25 full-scale study.

Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard Solicitation for Revisions

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for renewal of an approved information collection. NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management (OCM) is proposing a renewal for information collection that allows interested parties to submit requests for revisions to update the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS). CMECS was approved by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) in August 2012 and provides a national standard for consistent descriptions of coastal and marine ecological features. The FGDC requires periodic reviews and maintenance of federal standards. Collection of information from users is critical to this process. The primary uses of CMECS are in mapping and classifying the geological, physical, biological, and chemical components of the environment. Among other applications, the CMECS framework can be used to integrate data from disparate sources, facilitate comparisons among sites, and organize data for regional assessment. Since its publication in 2012, the CMECS has been used to characterize habitats ranging from coastal wetlands and estuaries to the deep ocean and at local to global scales. Benefits of CMECS include: data collected by different sensors and methods can be integrated into a single database; all the physical, biological, and chemical-forcing functions that collectively determine a habitat type can be captured; and the system has the flexibility to accommodate new units as additional information becomes available. The CMECS was developed as a dynamic standard to allow periodic revisions to continue to meet the needs of the user community and as such, the CMECS can be updated to accommodate the requirements of evolving scientific practices, technology, and coastal and marine resource management. The review process allows the CMECS to retain its consistency, credibility, and rigor through periodic reviews and an orderly, authoritative, and transparent updating process as required by the Federal Geographic Data Committee. Anyone can propose changes, which can include minor edits, such as grammatical or typographical corrections, clarifications of definitions and meaning, or more substantial changes to the hierarchy within components. We are soliciting recommendations for revisions to the CMECS through a form to be posted on the CMECS website. All recommendations collected will be reviewed and revisions will be made to the CMECS to reflect those recommendations found to be valuable for implementation of the CMECS and supportive of the user community needs. Information is compiled quarterly by the CMECS Implementation Working Group, an interagency group of CMECS technical experts. This information is used to assess needs for revisions to the CMECS. Information is not disseminated to the public.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Application Form for Membership on a National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for revision and extension of this information collection. ONMS is proposing minor revisions to the 0648-0397 forms to better understand applicant motivations and to ensure consistency in applications by providing recommended lengths for responses. This information collection will remain unchanged, with the exception of the revisions noted below. 25% of the respondents may fax and mail their materials which makes the total annual cost to the public to $450. Revisions: Apart from minor, non-substantive textual changes to update the application (e.g., changing order of sentences and reordering of questions) the following changes have been made. ● Updated instructions for completing both applications (youth and general) to include a recommended length for each question response to reduce the time burden associated with completing the application and to ensure consistency in answers. ● Moved previous question one, “How did you hear about the opportunity to apply for this sanctuary advisory council seat?” to the end of the question section. ● Moved previous question four (question two in youth application), “Will you commit to participate in sanctuary advisory council activities (e.g., meetings, constituent outreach, retreats, chairing or participating on a subcommittee or working group, and reviewing written materials)?” to the second to last question. ● Removed previous question eight (question seven in youth application), “Describe how you will work to ensure that diverse perspectives and underrepresented communities are represented through the Sanctuary Advisory Council.” ● Added the Privacy Act Statement. ● Modified the following questions and descriptions in the youth and general application: ○ Will you commit to participate in sanctuary advisory council activities (e.g., meetings, constituent outreach, retreats, chairing or participating on a subcommittee or working group, and reviewing written materials)? ○ One of the key roles of a sanctuary advisory council member is to serve as a liaison between the sanctuary and its community. Explain how you will coordinate with, consult with, and inform the members of the constituency you will represent (ex: a Research seat), if appointed to that seat (ex: for a Research seat, members of the sanctuary’s research constituency). If you are applying for more than one seat, please provide responses for each constituency and be clear on which constituency you are referring to. Section 315 of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) (16 U.S.C. § 1445a) allows the Secretary of Commerce to establish one or more advisory councils (councils) to advise and make recommendations to the Secretary regarding the designation and management of national marine sanctuaries. Executive Order 13178 similarly established a Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve Council pursuant to the NMSA for the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve. Councils are individually chartered for each site, or for the sanctuary system, to meet its specific needs. Once a council has been chartered, a sanctuary superintendent starts a process to recruit members for that council by providing notice to the public and requesting interested parties to apply for the available seat(s) (e.g., Research, Education) and position(s) (i.e., member or alternate). The information obtained through this application process will be used to determine the qualifications of the applicant for membership on the council.
