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.

Air Taxi and Commercial Operator Airport Activity Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The data collected serves as the only source of data for charter and nonscheduled( on-demand) passenger data by Part 135 operator (air taxis). FAA request that on-demand operators voluntarily report the number of revenue passengers that boarded their flights annually by airport. FAA and contractor staff review the responses (either signed electronic copy or via paper) to ensure that the operator submitting data is valid and the response is complete. Valid submissions are incorporated into an FAA database which also contains enplanement data collected from certificated, commuters, and foreign air carriers. Enplanement data are consolidated into a report for each airport that lists each air carrier and their annual enplanements. This is used to determine whether an airport is eligible for Airport Improvement Program funds and calculates primary airport sponsor apportionment as specified by title 49 United Stated Code (U.S.C.), section 47114. The data collected serves as the only source of data for charter and nonscheduled passenger data by Part 135 operator (air taxis).

Abstract

The VA Form 28-1902w, Information for Veteran Readiness and Employment Entitlement Determination is used by the Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) with the Veteran during the comprehensive initial evaluation after the VA receives an application for Veteran or Service member Readiness and Employment benefits and has determined the Veteran is eligible to apply for Chapter 31 under Title 38 U.S.C. 3104(a) and 38 CFR § 21.50.

The information is unique to each Veteran and must be collected to assist with making an entitlement determination during the initial evaluation or the counselor would not have enough information to properly evaluate the Veteran’s circumstances. The information is collected only once. Information for Veteran Readiness and Employment Entitlement Determination takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.

Abstract

The Regional Partnership Grants (RPG) program funds regional partnerships to provide, through interagency collaboration and integration of programs, services and activities that are designed to increase the well-being of, improve permanency outcomes for, and enhance the safety of children who are in an out-of-home placement or are at risk of being placed in an out-of-home placement as a result of a parent’s or caretaker’s substance abuse. The partnerships implement a range of activities and interventions, including peer recovery coaching, family-centered and prevention-focused services, parenting and family strengthening programs, specialized services to fathers, and pregnant and postpartum women, medication assisted treatment, in-home parenting and child safety support for families, and related evidence-based practices. Final Reports are required as part of the Administration for Children and Families Children’s Bureau’s (CB) reporting requirements. Each project is to submit Semi Annual Progress Reports to the CB during the project period and then a Final Report at the end of the project period. The Final Report is to be submitted 120 days after the project period ends. The RPG Final Report Outline is intended to assist RPG grant recipients with the development and submission of the Final Report. The RPG program is in its 7th Round of funding. Providing a consistent clear template for the project’s final reports will assist the CB to ensure program monitoring and to build the evidence of effective programing and practice for the RPG sites and other CB efforts to support families impacted by substance use.

Certificate of Waivers under 14 CFR Part 91.903

Key Information

Abstract

Title 14, Part 91 of the Code of Federal Regulations prescribes the rules governing the operation of aircraft within the United States. Included in this is the operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), commonly known as drones, by both civil and public aircraft operators. 14 CFR § 91.903 allows for operators of aircraft to apply for a certificate of waiver authorizing the operator to deviate from the rules listed in § 91.905 if the proposed operation can be conducted safely. The FAA has developed a web portal to allow UAS operators to apply for Part 91 certificate of waivers requests only. Prior to granting a certificate of wavier from any of the regulations listed in § 91.905, the FAA must evaluate the proposed operation and determine if the proposed operation may be conducted safely. The information requested is the minimum information necessary for the FAA to make this decision. Users are also required to fill out an Access Request Form when first signing up to use the web portal. This form asks for contact information, the type of user, and the type of operations that the user will perform. The FAA asks for this information to ensure that only UAS operators who will require use of the site have access to it.

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) maintains a program designed to provide education and technical assistance to participants and beneficiaries as well as to employers, plan sponsors, and service providers related to their health and retirement plan benefits. EBSA assists participants in understanding their rights, responsibilities, and benefits under employee benefit law and intervenes informally on their behalf with the plan sponsor in order to assist them in obtaining the health and retirement benefits to which they may have been inappropriately denied, which can avert the necessity for a formal investigation or a civil action. EBSA maintains a toll-free telephone number through which inquirers can reach Benefits Advisors in ten Regional Offices. EBSA has also made a request for assistance form available on its website for those wishing to obtain assistance in this manner. Contact with EBSA is entirely voluntary. The collection of information is an intake form for assistance requests from the public. This information includes the plan type, broad categories of problem type, contact information for responsible parties, and a mechanism for the inquirer to attach relevant documents. Summary data from the existing intake form has also been used, in accordance with section 513 of ERISA, to respond to requests for information regarding employee benefit plans from members of Congress and governmental oversight entities, and to inform the policy formulation process.

Abstract

As part of a Federal Government-wide effort to streamline the process to seek feedback from the public on service delivery, OGE seeks reapproval of a Generic Information Collection Request for the collection of qualitative feedback on agency service delivery for approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Generic Clearance provides a means to garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the agency’s commitment to improving service delivery. Qualitative feedback means information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but is not a statistical survey that yields quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback provides insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences, and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training, or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between the agency and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.

Individual Fishing Quotas for Pacific Halibut and Sablefish in the Alaska Fisheries

Key Information

Abstract

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office (AKRO), requests extension and revision of this currently approved information. Minor editorial changes were made to the forms to improve clarity and consistency. One was revised to remove an unnecessary checkbox. Four were revised to collect additional information required by regulations, remove the need to submit a copy of the permit, and to no longer require a separate form for each transfer. The revisions do not change the burden hours or costs of these forms. One form that was inadvertently omitted has been added and does not significantly increase the burden or cost for this information collection. This information collection contains the forms used by IFQ Program participants to apply for, renew, or replace permits; transfer or lease IFQ and quota share (QS); determine compliance with IFQ Program requirements; and designate a beneficiary. Some are also used by participants in the Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program. Also included are annual reports and other collections submitted by methods that do not use a form. This information collection is necessary to manage the IFQ Program and is required to manage commercial halibut and sablefish fishing under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the Halibut Act, and regulations at 50 CFR parts 300 and 679. NMFS uses the information to identify and authorize participants in the halibut and sablefish fisheries, to track and transfer quota share, to limit transfers to authorized participants, and to monitor quota share balances and harvest in these fisheries.

Part 63, Accelerating Wireline Broadband Deployment by Removing Barriers to Infrastructure Investment, WC Docket No. 17-84, FCC 18-74

Key Information

Abstract

Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the FCC review the establishment, acquisition, operation, and extension of lines, and the discontinuance of service by interstate common carriers. This OMB collection pertains primarily to section 63.71 and other related sections of the Commission's rules, which govern the application process for receiving authority for discontinuance, impairment or reduction in service. The discontinuance obligations that apply to domestic non-dominant telecommunications carriers have been extended to providers of interconnected VoIP service. In July, 2016, the Commission revised its discontinuance procedures to require that technology transition discontinuance applicants seeking streamlined treatment meet the "adequate replacement test." In June 2018, the Commission further modified the rules applicable to section 214(a) discontinuance applications. First, all carriers, whether dominant or non-dominant, that seek approval to grandfather data services below speeds of 25 Mbps download speed and 3 Mbps upload speed are now subject to a uniform reduced public comment period of 10 days and an automatic grant period of 25 days. Second, all carriers, whether dominant or non-dominant, seeking authorization to discontinue data services below speeds of 25 Mbps download speed and 3 Mbps upload speed that have previously been grandfathered for a period of at least 180 days are subject to a uniform reduced public comment period of 10 days and an automatic grant period of 31 days, provided they submit a statement as part of their discontinuance application that they have received Commission authority to grandfather the services at issue at least 180 days prior to the filing of the discontinuance application. This statement must reference the file number of the prior Commission authorization to grandfather the services the carrier now seeks to permanently discontinue. Third, carriers are no longer required to file an application to discontinue, reduce, or impair any service for which it has had no customers and no request for service for at least a 30-day period immediately preceding the discontinuance. Fourth, all carriers, whether dominant or non-dominant, that seek approval to discontinue legacy voice service can obtain further streamlined processing with a public comment period of 15 days and an automatic grant period of 31 days, provided (1) they offer a stand-alone interconnected VoIP service throughout the service area, and (2) at least one alternative stand-alone, facilities-based voice service is available from an unaffiliated provider throughout the affected service area (the “alternative options test”). Finally, all carriers, whether dominant or non-dominant, that seek approval to grandfather legacy voice service are now subject to a uniform reduced public comment period of 10 days and an automatic grant period of 25 days.

ATUS Leave and Job Flexibilities Module

Key Information

Abstract

The Leave and Job Flexibilities Module includes questions about workers' access to and use of paid and unpaid leave, job flexibility, and their work schedules. Information collected in the supplement will be published as a public use data set to facilitate research on numerous topics, such as: the characteristics of people with paid and unpaid leave; occupations with the greatest and least access to paid leave; reasons workers are able to take leave from their jobs; how many workers have access to job flexibilities such as the ability to work from home or adjust their start and stop times; and the relationship between workers' time use and their access to job flexibilities. Sponsored by the Department of Labor's Women's Bureau, the supplement is asked of eligible respondents immediately upon their completion of the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). The Leave and Job Flexibilities Module supports the mission of the Bureau of Labor Statistics by providing relevant information on economic and social issues and providing a richer description of work. The module surveys eligible wage and salary workers aged 15 and up from a nationally representative sample of households each month.

Request an Individual's Ethics Documents

Key Information

Abstract

The OGE Form 201 collects certain information from, and provides certain information to, persons who seek access to public financial disclosure reports and to other covered records. The form, with the proposed modifications, reflects the requirements of the Ethics in Government Act, including the Representative Louise McIntosh Slaughter Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK Act), as amended in 2013. These requirements relate to information collected about the identity of the requester, as well as any other person on whose behalf a record is sought, and requires that the requester acknowledge his or her awareness of the legal uses of the information contained in public financial disclosure reports and potential civil penalties for persons who obtain or use a public financial disclosure report for a prohibited purpose. The form also alerts requestors that intentional falsification of the information required by the form may result in prosecution under 18 U.S.C. section 1001. Requestors are mostly members of the public, particularly representatives of the news media, public interest groups, and private citizens, with some Federal agencies and employees.
