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.

New Animal Drugs for Investigational Use

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request supports FDA's regulations regarding new animal drugs for investigational uses. Respondents to this collection of information are persons who use new animal drugs for investigational purposes, such as drug industry firms, academic institutions, and the government. Investigators may include individuals from these entities, as well as research firms and members of the medical professions. Our regulations require that certain information be submitted to us in a “Notice of Claimed Investigational Exemption for a New Animal Drug” (NCIE) to qualify for the exemption and to control shipment of the new animal drug and prevent potential abuse. Our regulations also require recordkeeping. We use the reported information to determine that investigational animal drugs are distributed only to qualified investigators, adequate drug accountability records are maintained, and edible food products from treated food-producing animals are safe for human consumption. We also use the information collected to monitor the validity of the studies submitted to us to support new animal drug approval.

Section 97.303, Frequency Sharing Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

On March 11, 2010, The Commission adopted and released an Order, WT Docket No. 10-62, FCC 10-38. This proceeding moved transmitter power limit information that applies to stations transmitting a spread spectrum emission from 47 CFR 97.303(s) to 47 CFR 97.313(i), Transmitter Power Standard. No station may transmit with an effective radiated power (ERP) exceeding 50 W PEP on the 60 m band. For the purpose of computing ERP, the transmitter PEP will be multiplied by the antenna gain relative to a dipole or the equivalent calculation in decibels. A half-wave dipole antenna will be presumed to have a gain of 1. Licensees using other antenna must maintain in their station records either the manufacturer data on the antenna gain or calculations of the antenna gain. On May 14, 2003, the FCC released a Report and Order, Amendment of Parts 2 and 97 of the Commission's Rules to Create a Low Frequency Allocation for the Amateur Radio Service. ET Doc. No. 02-98, FCC 03-105. The Report and Order established a recordkeeping requirement that amateur operator licensees using other antennas must maintain in their station records either the manufacturer data on the antenna gain or calculations of the antenna gain. The information will be used to establish a record of amateur operations, so that if interference to critical power line carrier systems occurs, the Commission can respond quickly to locate the source.

Monthly Employment Utilization Report (CC-257)

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review and approval of the Monthly Employment Utilization Report (CC-257). The proposed CC-257 would require covered construction contractors and subcontractors to submit monthly reports on their employee count and work hours by race/ethnicity, gender, and trade in the covered area. OFCCP previously collected the CC-257 under OMB control number 1215-0163 but discontinued the report in 1995. Since that time, DOL restructured OFCCP as a stand-alone agency and OMB transferred OFCCP’s information collections to OMB control numbers that begin with a “1250” agency code. As such, OFCCP is requesting a new “1250” OMB control number for the CC-257 report. This information collection request (ICR) outlines the legal authority, procedures, burden, and costs associated with the collection.

Resolution Plans Required for Insured Depository Institutions With $50 Billion or More in Total Assets

Key Information

Abstract

The Rule requires certain insured depository institutions (IDIs) to submit a Resolution Plan that should enable the FDIC, as receiver, to resolve the institution under Sections 11 and 13 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act), 12 U.S.C. 1821 and 1823, in a manner that ensures that depositors receive access to their insured deposits within one business day of the institution’s failure (two business days if the failure occurs on a day other than Friday), maximizes the net present value return from the sale or disposition of its assets, and minimizes the amount of any loss to be realized by the institution’s creditors. An IDI with $50 billion or more in total assets (i.e., a covered IDI or CIDI) is required to submit periodically to the FDIC a contingent plan for the resolution of such institution in the event of its failure. IDIs with $100 billion or more in total assets would submit full resolution plans, while IDIs with total assets between $50 and $100 billion would submit informational filings.

A construction business with workers who operate or work in the vicinity of cranes and derricks must have, as applicable, the following documents on file and available at the job site: equipment ratings, employee training records, written authorizations from qualified individuals, operator’s certification documents and qualification program audits. In addition, the standard for cranes and derricks in construction provides specific exemptions and clarifications with regard to the application of the standard to cranes and derricks used for railway roadway work. These exemptions and clarifications recognize the unique equipment and circumstances in railway roadway work and reflect the preemption of some OSHA requirements by regulations promulgated by the Federal Railroad Administration.
