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.

National Teacher and Principal Survey of 2023-2024 (NTPS 2023-24) Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

The National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS), conducted every three years by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a system of related questionnaires that provides descriptive data on the context of elementary and secondary education. Redesigned from the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) with a focus on flexibility, timeliness, and integration with other ED data, the NTPS system allows for school, principal, and teacher characteristics to be analyzed in relation to one another. NTPS is an in-depth, nationally representative survey of first through twelfth grade public and private school teachers, principals, and schools. Kindergarten teachers in schools with at least a first grade are also surveyed. NTPS utilizes core content and a series of rotating modules to allow timely collection of important education trends as well as trend analysis. Topics covered include characteristics of teachers, principals, schools, teacher training opportunities, retention, retirement, hiring, and shortages. The NTPS serves as the base year for two follow-up collections: The Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS) contacts principals who responded to the previous year’s NTPS collection to determine whether, one year later, they are working as a principal at the same school as the previous year (“stayers”), have moved to a different school (“movers”), or have left the profession (“leavers”). The Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) contacts a sample of teachers who responded to the previous year’s NTPS collection in order to determine whether they are stayers, movers, or leavers, as well as additional questions about their career paths and employment experiences. (TFS and PFS are cleared as part of a separate package under OMB# 1850-0617. The package for TFS/PFS 2024-25 will be cleared in 2024.) For the 2021-22 and earlier TFS collections, our primary source of information on whether a teacher was a stayer, mover, or leaver (before we sampled and directly contacted those teachers) came from the school at which they worked during the previous year. However, not all schools report that information and, among those that do, they may not know the job status of the prior year’s teachers. In order to determine whether that information can be collected more accurate and efficiently, we plan to ask NTPS teachers, at the end of the 2023-24 school year, whether they believe they will return to the same school in the 2024-25 school year. If their responses align with the information we later collect from schools and/or teachers who complete the TFS, we may be able to use this information to sample teachers for future administrations of the TFS. For NTPS teachers who complete the NTPS Teacher Questionnaire web survey, on or after April 15, 2024, we will ask this question as the final item in the survey. For NTPS teachers who complete the survey before April 15, 2024 or who complete a paper questionnaire, we will send them an e-mail invitation asking them to answer this additional question and, if needed, update their contact information. Teachers will only be asked this question once, but we have provided sample questions that reflect the two different ways in which the question may be asked. We estimate that this question will add 1 additional minute of burden for teachers from whom it is part of NTPS Teacher Questionnaire web survey, and 3 minutes for teachers who answer this item through a standalone web survey. As part of this change, we have updated the estimated burden for teachers to complete the NTPS with the addition of this question in Part A. We have added the text of this question, shown here and in Appendix B, and the accompanying e-mail for teachers who are sent a separate e-mail invitation here and in Appendix A.

Water Quality Standards Regulatory Revisions to Protect Tribal Reserved Rights (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Clean Water Act (CWA), states and authorized Tribes (i.e., Tribes with authority to administer a CWA water quality standards program in the same manner as states) establish water quality standards (WQS) for waters of the United States under their jurisdiction. Many federally recognized Tribes hold rights to CWA-protected aquatic and aquatic-dependent resources through treaties, statutes, or executive orders, in waters of the U.S. subject to state WQS. This rule establishes a framework for how Tribal reserved rights, as defined in this final rule, must be considered in establishing WQS. This rule requires that if a right holder asserts a Tribal reserved right in writing to a state and the EPA for consideration in establishment of WQS, the state must, to the extent supported by available data and information: 1) take into consideration the use and value of its waters for protecting the Tribal reserved right in adopting or revising designated uses; 2) take into consideration the anticipated future exercise of the Tribal reserved right unsuppressed by water quality in establishing relevant WQS; and 3) establish water quality criteria to protect the Tribal reserved right where the state has adopted designated uses that either expressly incorporate protection of or encompass the right. The current WQS regulation at 40 CFR Part 131 requires states and authorized Tribes to include supporting information to accompany WQS submissions to help the EPA determine whether the submitted new and revised WQS are consistent with the CWA. The rule adds two new requirements to 40 CFR Part 131: 1) the rule adds a condition that right holders must assert their rights in writing before their rights can be considered for protection by the rule; and 2) where applicable, state and authorized Tribal WQS submissions must provide any information provided by right holders about relevant Tribal reserved rights and documentation of how that information was considered; and data and methods used to develop the water quality standards. This ICR provides estimates of burden and cost to all federally recognized Tribes asserting reserved rights and to states and authorized Tribes with WQS to implement new collection requirements in the rule.

VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program

Key Information

Abstract

Public Law 109-461 provided permanent authority for VA’s Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program for homeless Veterans. Funds appropriated to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for this program are expected to be significantly less than the total amount requested by applicants. Information must be collected to determine which applicants are eligible, and to prioritize applications for determining who will be awarded funds. VA does not require applicants to use a VA Form to respond to the collection of information. Rather, VA requires applicants to respond to the collection of information as published in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) in standard business format. VA provides the outline for the collection in the NOFO and uses the standard business format collections to evaluate applicants for all the grant programs authorized under the statutory authority for VA to make homeless grants. The categories of grants include per diem for non-capital grants, special needs grants, and case management grants. The program will not be awarding capital grants in the coming years. This factor, along with historical program data on the actual number of applications received, has resulted in a decrease in the anticipated number of annual grant applications and associated annual burden hours. There are no changes to the information being collected. Respondents may apply for grants using the Federal-wide Standard Forms from the SF-424 family of forms.

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery

Key Information

Abstract

In order to work continuously to ensure that our programs are effective and meet our customers’ needs, and consistent to the extent applicable with Executive Order 12862 and other Executive Order(s), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) (hereafter “the Agency”) seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect qualitative feedback on our service delivery. By “qualitative feedback,” we mean information that provides useful insights into perceptions and opinions but not statistical surveys yielding quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This collection of information is necessary to enable the Agency to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with our commitment to improving service delivery. The information collected from our customers and stakeholders will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with the Agency’s programs. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences, and expectations; provide an early warning of issues with service; and/or focus attention on areas where communication, training, or changes in operations might improve delivery of services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and stakeholders. They will also enable feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.

Abstract

SSA requires payees to submit a written report accounting for the use of money paid to Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients, and to establish and maintain a dedicated account for these payments. SSA uses Form SSA-6233-BK to: (1) Ensure the payee uses the payments for the recipient’s current maintenance and personal needs; and (2) confirm the expenditures of funds from the dedicated account remain in compliance with the law. Although we mail a paper Form SSA-6233-BK to the payee, the report can also be completed through telephone contact and then be mailed to the payee for signature, or during a face-to-face interview. The respondents are payees for SSI and Social Security recipients. We are making non-substantive changes to revise language on Form SSA-6233-BK, we are also reducing the Average Burden Per Response (minutes) from 20 minutes to 15 minutes, and we are revising the Privacy Act Statement.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2025 Long-Term Trend (LTT) Revision

Key Information

Abstract

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in various subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, U.S. history, civics, geography, economics, technology and engineering literacy (TEL), and the arts. The National Assessment of Educational Progress Authorization Act (Public Law 107-279 Title III, section 303) requires the assessment to collect data on specified student groups and characteristics, including information organized by race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, disability, and limited English proficiency. It requires fair and accurate presentation of achievement data and permits the collection of background, noncognitive, or descriptive information that is related to academic achievement and aids in fair reporting of results. The intent of the law is to provide representative sample data on student achievement for the nation, the states, and subpopulations of students and to monitor progress over time. NAEP consists of two assessment programs: the NAEP long-term trend (LTT) assessment and the main NAEP assessment. The LTT assessments are given at the national level only and are administered to students at ages 9, 13, and 17 in a manner that is very different from that used for the main NAEP assessments. LTT reports mathematics and reading results that present trend data since the 1970s. In addition to the operational assessments, NAEP uses two other kinds of assessment activities: pilot assessments and special studies. Pilot assessments test items and procedures for future administrations of NAEP, while special studies (including the National Indian Education Study (NIES), the Middle School Transcript Study (MSTS), and the High School Transcript Study (HSTS)) are opportunities for NAEP to investigate particular aspects of the assessment without impacting the reporting of the NAEP results. This Amendment to the NAEP 2025 Long-Term Trend Clearance package updates several documents since the approval of the primary package for NAEP 2025 LTT (OMB# 1850-0928 v.32) in April 2024: 1) updated committee members in Appendix A, 2) updated sampling design memo in Appendix C, 3) final communication materials in Appendix D, 4) updated Assessment Management Screens (AMS) in Appendix F1, and 5) small updates to Parts A and B. These changes required no changes to approved respondent burden, but does require a small increase in the cost to the Federal Government.

FERC-725F, Mandatory Reliability Standard for Nuclear Plant Interface Coordination

Key Information

Abstract

Reliability Standard NUC-001-4 requires nuclear plant generator operators and entities that provide generation, transmission and distribution services relating to off-site power (entities defined as "transmission entities") to enter into interface agreements with nuclear plant generator operators that will govern certain communication, training, operational and planning elements for use in addressing generation and transmission system limits and nuclear licensing requirements. The Commission understands that most entities subject to this Reliability Standard already have such agreements in place. The responsible entities are also required to retain evidence that they executed such an agreement and incorporated its terms into systems planning and operations. Further, each nuclear plant generator operator and transmission entity must self-certify its compliance to the compliance monitor once every three years. The NUC-001 Reliability Standard requires the Nuclear Plant Generator Operators and Transmission Entities to which they interconnect to execute and implement interface agreements for coordinating operations to meet nuclear licensing requirements. These agreements must include NPIRs that incorporate NPIRs into their operating analyses of the BES and operate the Transmission system to comply with the NPIRs. The lack of these agreements or compliance to these agreements can bring about lack of coordination of operations between a nuclear plant and its transmission entities. This lack of communication between entities can lead to an unanticipated separation from the Bulk Power System (BPS) placing the BPS at risk and defeating the goal of the Commission as mandated by Title XII, Subtitle A, of EPACT 2005. Reliability Standard NUC-001-4 does not require responsible entities to file information with the Commission. Nor, with the exception of a three year self-certification of compliance, does the Reliability Standard require responsible entities to file information with the ERO or Regional Entities. However, the Reliability Standard does require responsible entities to develop and maintain certain information for a specified period of time, subject to inspection by the ERO or Regional Entities.

Advance Designation of Representative Payee

Key Information

Abstract

On April 13, 2018, the President signed into law The Strengthening Protections for Social Security Beneficiaries Act of 2018, also known as Pub.L.115-165. Section 201 of the law allows SSA beneficiaries and applicants under Title II, Title VIII and Title XVI, of the Act to designate individuals to serve as a representative payee should the need arise in the future. Section 201(j)(2) of the Act provides the requirements for selecting a qualified representative payee. SSA only offers the option to advance designate to capable adults and emancipated minors. Beneficiaries who have an assigned representative payee, or have a representative application in process, cannot advance designate. Form SSA-4547, Advance Designation of Representative Payee, allows beneficiaries or applicants the option to designate individuals in order of priority, to serve as a representative. Beneficiaries or applicants can update or change the advance designee order of priority at any time. SSA uses the information on Form SSA-4547 to select a qualified representative payee in order of priority. If the selected representative payee is unable or unwilling to serve, or meet SSA requirements. SSA will select another representative payee to serve in the beneficiaries and applicants best interest. SSA will notify beneficiaries annually of the individuals they chose in advance to be their representative payee. The respondents are SSA beneficiaries and claimants who want to choose an advance designate representative. We are making minor revisions to the SSA-4547 and the Advance Designation of Representative Payee Internet (MySSA) screens to revise the Privacy Act Statement.

Authorization Request Form and Certification /Letter of Medical Necessity for Compounded Drugs (OWCP-26)

Key Information

Abstract

OWCP will require the claimant’s treating physician to complete a Form OWCP-26 online before payment will be made for a compounded drug. The physician will be required to specify the ingredients in the compounded drug, indicate whether the compounded drug and each of its ingredients are medically necessary, and explain why the claimant cannot use an FDA-approved drug instead of the compounded drug being prescribed. The form will permit the OWCP to more easily track the volume, type, and characteristics of compounded drugs prescribed for claimants. It will allow additional oversight of the pharmacy benefit—improving patient safety, decreasing cost for stakeholders, and decreasing the risk for fraud, waste, and abuse. Completed forms will be reviewed by a clinical pharmacist or physician before being reviewed for decision by the individual program staff.
