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.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Application for the National Resource Centers (NRC) Program (1894-0001)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is a revision of the previously approved information collection (application). This revision would divide 1840-0807 into two separate applications: one for NRC and one for FLAS, which is how the applications appear in Grants.gov. Previously, both applications were combined into one information collection: the Application for the NRC and FLAS Fellowships Programs. The NRC application will maintain the OMB control number of 1840-0807, while the FLAS application will get a new OMB control (1840-0867). The primary purpose of the revision is to make changes to the NRC application to be consistent with the Final Rule to amend the regulations of the NRC and FLAS programs. The NRC application and technical review forms would be affected by the changes to the NRC selection criteria (CFR §§ 656.21, 656.22, and 656.23), which clarify interpretations of statutory language and redesign the selection criteria. The regulations remove ambiguity and redundancy in the selection criteria and definitions of key terms, improve the application process, and align the administration of the NRC program with the developments in modern foreign languages and area studies education.

Application for the Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship Program (1894-0001)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection (OMB 1840-0867) includes application instructions and forms for the Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship Program (ALN Number 84.015B), authorized under Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. Section 1122). The FLAS Fellowship Program awards allocations of fellowships, through institutions of higher education and consortia of institutions of higher education, to meritorious students enrolled in programs that offer performance-based instruction in world languages in combination with area studies, international studies, or the international aspects of professional studies. With the National Resource Centers (NRC) program, the FLAS program responds to the ongoing national need for individuals with expertise and competence in world languages and area or international studies; advance national security by developing a pipeline of highly proficient linguists and experts in critical world regions; and contribute to developing a globally competent workforce able to engage with a multilingual/multicultural clientele at home and abroad. This new collection is the result of the division of 1840-0807 into two separate applications: one for NRC and one for FLAS, which is how the applications appear in Grants.gov. Previously, both applications were combined into one information collection: the Application for the NRC and FLAS Fellowships Programs. The NRC application will maintain the OMB control number of 1840-0807, while the FLAS application will get a new OMB control (1840-0867). This new collection is related to a Final Rule to amend the regulations of the NRC and FLAS programs. The FLAS application and technical review forms will include the changes to the FLAS selection criteria (CFR §§ 657.21), which clarify interpretations of statutory language and redesign the selection criteria. The regulations remove ambiguity and redundancy in the selection criteria and definitions of key terms, improve the application process, and align the administration of the FLAS program with the developments in modern foreign languages and area studies education.

Sovereignty in Indian Education Grant Program

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of the Interior and Department of Education developed an American Indian Education Study Group (Study Group) to diagnose the causes of too common academic failure in BIE-funded schools, which are some of the lowest performing schools in the country. The Study Group, which encompasses a combination of management, legal, education, and tribal expertise, was charged with developing and implementing recommendations to transform the BIE. Based on the recommendations from the Study Group released on June 13, 2014 ("Blueprint for Reform"), BIE developed the Sovereignty in Indian Education Grant which awards competitive grants to tribes and their Tribal Education Departments (TEDs) to promote tribal control and operation of BIE-funded schools on their reservations. The purpose of the grant is to support the TEDs capacity to manage and operate tribally-controlled schools as defined in the Tribally Controlled Schools Act of 1988 (25 U.S.C 2501, P.L. 100-297). These funds will support the development of an implementation plan for the TEDs to review their infrastructure and determine the most efficient course of action to promote full operation of BIE-funded schools through a single grant, and begin the process of implementation of the tribally approved course of action.

Key Information

Abstract

In order to implement section 6003 of the Affordable Care Act, CMS has proposed to amend 42 C.F.R. 411.355(b). Section 6003 establishes a new disclosure requirement for physicians who refer magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and positron emission tomography (MRI, CT and PET) under the in-office ancillary services exception to the prohibition on physician self-referral (section 1877 of the Social Security Act). Under this new requirement physicians must inform patients in writing, at the time of the referral, that the patient may receive the imaging service from another supplier. The physician must also provide the patient with a list of other suppliers that from whom the patient may obtain the services. The proposed rule provides detail regarding what criteria must be included in the disclosure notifcation and supplier list in order to satisfy this new requirement.

GI Bill School Feedback Tool (Formerly Principles of Excellence Complaint Feedback Tool)

Key Information

Abstract

Executive Order 13607, Establishing Principles of Excellence, which is now identified as the GI Bill School Feedback Tool is used for Educational Institutions serving service members, Veterans, spouses, and other family members, requires the establishment of a centralized complaint system for students receiving federal military and Veteran educational benefits. The purpose of the complaint system is to provide a standardized method to submit a complaint against an educational institution alleging fraudulent and unduly aggressive recruiting techniques, misrepresentation, payment of incentive compensation, failure to meet state authorization requirements, or failure to adhere to the Principles of Excellence as outlined in the Executive Order. The VA’s Principles of Excellence GI Bill® School Feedback Tool leverages the Salesforce platform to collect and manage complaints. The complainants access the complaint system through the GI Bill website and eBenefits portal. Veterans, family members, or other members of the public are able to open links at the VA website location and enter the requested information. Complainants are offered the opportunity to review the information in their complaint prior to clicking on the submit button. Once a complaint is submitted, the complainant receives an email verifying that the complaint was received. At this point, the complaint is stored in the complaint system and is available to select VA employees for review. VA reviews the complaint, and on behalf of the complainant, shares the complaint with the institution which is subject of the complaint. VA requests the institution to formally respond to the complaint within 90 days. If an institution fails to respond within 90 days, VA will contact the institution and request a status update. Once VA receives a response from the institution, VA will forward the response to the complainant. At this point, VA will close the case. Valid complaints received are transmitted to the central repository at FTC Consumer Sentinel. The information in the central repository is the same information provided by the complainant. Authorized law enforcement officials who have been granted access to the FTC Consumer Sentinel database have access to view all complaints. The respondent submits a complaint about an educational institution online through either the GI Bill website or the eBenefit portal. The information gathered can only be obtained from the individual respondents. Valid complaints will be accepted from third parties. The Feedback Tool process for VA’s complaint system data elements include: o Institution/Employer: There are over 36,000 educational institutions that are approved for VA education benefits o Anonymous Complaints: The Feedback Tool Complaint System allows for a user to file anonymous complaints. Based on working group discussions with CFPB and FTC, VA believes that allowing anonymous complaints will garner more ground truth on what is happening with Veterans using their education benefits at different schools. o Required fields: As a result of allowing anonymous complaints, many of the fields will not be required by VA.

Accelerating Wireline Broadband Deployment by Removing Barriers to Infrastructure Investment, GN Docket No. 17-84

Key Information

Abstract

In April 1996, the Commission issued a notice of proposed rulemaking concerning certain provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (“1996 Act”), including section 251. Section 251 is designed to accelerate private sector development and deployment of telecommunications technologies and services by spurring competition. The Commission has adopted rules and regulations designed to implement certain provisions of section 251, and to eliminate operational barriers to competition in the telecommunications services market. In November 2017, the Commission adopted new rules concerning certain information collection requirements implemented under section 251(c)(5) of the Act, pertaining to network change disclosures. Most of the changes to those rules applied specifically to a certain subset of network change disclosures, namely notices of planned copper retirements. In addition, the changes removed a rule that prohibits incumbent LECs from engaging in useful advanced coordination with entities affected by network changes. one of rules pertaining to network change disclosures to include appropriate titles for public notices of copper retirement. In June 2018, the Commission revised its network change disclosure rules to (1) revise the types of network changes that trigger an incumbent LEC’s public notice obligation, and (2) extend the force majeure provisions applicable to copper retirements to all types of network changes.
