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.

Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) published a Notice of Final Rulemaking for the Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance (Title IX NFR) to finalize amendments to the Departments implementing regulations for Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The Departments final regulations would require a recipient to maintain various documents regarding its Title IX activities for a period of at least seven years. These requirements are specified in 34 CFR 106.8(f). Recipients impacted by the proposed regulations include local educational agencies, institutes of higher education and other entities that receive Federal grant funds from the Department. The information collected will allow recipients and the Department to assess on a longitudinal basis whether a recipient is complying with the Departments Title IX regulations when it is has information about sex discrimination, the prevalence of sex discrimination affecting access to a recipients education program or activity, and whether additional or different training is necessary for the recipient to fulfill its obligations under Title IX. The rule relates to the 1870-0506 ICR, ICR Reference No: 202207-1870-001. The RIN # is 1870-AA16 which published 4/29/2024 (Vol 89 page 33474). Docket ID ED–2021–OCR–0166

Key Information

Abstract

The Office for Civil Rights Section 1557 final rule contains information collection requirements that are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (“PRA”). Under the PRA, agencies are required to submit to OMB for review and approval any reporting or record-keeping requirements inherent in a proposed or final rule and are required to publish such proposed requirements for public comment. The PRA requires agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register and solicit public comment on a proposed collection of information before it is submitted to OMB for review and approval. Under Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the Department solicited comment on the following issues: 1. Whether the information collection is necessary and useful to carry out the proper functions of the agency; 2. The accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the information collection burden; 3. The quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. Recommendations to minimize the information collection burden on the affected public, including automated collection techniques.

Applications and Reports for Registration as a Tanner or Agent

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for extension of an approved information collection. The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) mandates the protection and conservation of marine mammals and makes the taking, killing or serious injury of marine mammals, except under permit or exemption, a violation of the Act. An exemption is provided for Alaskan natives to take marine mammals if the taking is for subsistence or for creating and selling authentic native articles of handicraft and clothing. Possession of marine mammals and marine mammal parts by other than Alaskan natives is therefore prohibited (exception, 50 CFR 216.26: beach found non-Endangered Species Act (ESA) teeth or bones that have been registered with NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)). As native handicrafts are allowed by the MMPA to enter interstate commerce, an exemption is also needed to allow non-natives to handle the skins or other marine mammal produce, whether to tan the pinniped hide or to act as an agent for the native to sell his handicraft products. The information is necessary for law enforcement purposes to ensure that only Alaska Indians, Aleuts, or Eskimos are submitting marine mammal hides or parts for tanning.

10 CFR 73, Physical Protection of Plants and Materials

Key Information

Abstract

The NRC regulations in 10 CFR part 73 prescribe requirements to establish and maintain a physical protection system and security organization with capabilities for protection of: (1) Special nuclear material (SNM) at fixed sites, (2) SNM in transit, and (3) plants in which SNM is used. 10 CFR part 73 contains reporting and recordkeeping requirements which are necessary to help ensure that an adequate level of protection is provided for nuclear facilities and nuclear material, such as: Development and maintenance of security documents including a physical security plan, a training and qualification plan, a safeguards contingency plan, a cyber security plan, and security implementing procedures; notifications to the NRC regarding safeguards and cyber security events; notifications to state governors and tribes of shipments of irradiated reactor fuel; and requirements for conducting criminal history records checks of individuals granted unescorted access to a nuclear power facility, a non-power reactor, or access to Safeguards Information. The objective is to ensure that activities involving special nuclear material are consistent with interests of common defense and security and that these activities do not constitute an unreasonable risk to public health and safety. The information in the reports and records submitted by licensees is used by the NRC staff to ensure that the health and safety of the public and the environment are protected, and licensee possession and use of special nuclear material is in compliance with license and regulatory requirements.

Sections 1.1411, 1.1412, 1.1415 and 1.1416 and Pole Attachment Access Requirements and Dispute Resolution Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission adopted a comprehensive regulatory scheme to ensure just and reasonable rates, terms, and conditions of access to utility infrastructure (usually called “poles or “pole attachments”), with a robust dispute resolution process when the parties are not able to agree on terms. The Commission also adopted requirements for providing communications providers with information about the status of the utility poles they plan to use as they map out their broadband builds. Access to poles involves requests, responses, notices, and coordination among utility pole owners, requesting attachers, and parties with existing facilities attached to the poles. The regulations in 47 CFR sections 1.1411, 1.1412, 1.1415, and 1.1416 include pole complaint and other dispute resolution processes, pole access timelines for one-touch, make-ready (OTMR) and non-OTMR attachments, and use by new attachers of utility-approved contract workers. In addition, the rules require utilities to allow attachers to “overlash” existing wires and they eliminate outdated disparities between the pole attachment rates that incumbent carriers must pay compared to other similarly-situated cable and telecommunications attachers.

Key Information

Abstract

This clearance covers the information that offerors and contractors must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements: FAR 52.222-50, Combating Trafficking in Persons. ● Notification. Paragraph (d) of this clause requires contractors to notify the contracting officer and the agency Inspector General of— ○ Any credible information they receive from any source that alleges a contractor employee, subcontractor, or subcontractor employee, or their agent has engaged in conduct that violates the policy in paragraph (b) of the clause 52.222-50; and ○ Any actions taken against a contractor employee, subcontractor, subcontractor employee, or their agent pursuant to this clause. ● Compliance Plan and Annual Certification. Paragraph (h) of the clause contains an additional requirement for contracts for supplies (other than commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) items) to be acquired outside the United States and contracts for services to be performed outside the United States, with an estimated value exceeding $550,000, where the contractor is to maintain a compliance plan during the performance of the contract. This compliance plan must include an awareness program, a process for employees to report activity inconsistent with the zero-tolerance policy, a recruitment and wage plan, a housing plan, and procedures to prevent subcontractors from engaging in trafficking in persons. ○ Contractors are required to provide the compliance plan to the contracting officer upon request. ○ Contractors are required to submit a certification to the contracting officer annually after receiving an award, asserting that they have the required compliance plan in place and that there have been no abuses, or that appropriate actions have been taken if abuses have been found. ○ For those subcontractors required to submit a certification (see next bullet on flow down), contractors shall require that submission prior to award of the subcontract and annually thereafter. ● Portions of this clause flows down to all subcontractors. The requirements related to the compliance plan only flow down to subcontracts exceeding $550,000 for supplies (other than COTS items) acquired and services performed outside the United States. ● This clause applies to commercial acquisitions, except the portions related to the compliance plan do not apply to acquisitions of COTS items.

Section 76.59, Definition of Markets for Purposes of the Cable Television Mandatory Television Broadcast Signal Carriage Rules

Key Information

Abstract

On September 2, 2015, the Commission released a Report and Order (Order), FCC 15-111, in MB Docket No. 15-71, adopting satellite television market modification rules ‎to implement Section 102 of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act (STELA) Reauthorization Act of 2014 (STELAR). The STELAR amended the Communications Act and the Copyright Act to give the Commission authority to modify a commercial television broadcast station’s local television market – defined by The Nielsen Company’s Designated Market Area (DMA) in which it is located – to include additional communities or exclude communities for purposes of better effectuating satellite carriage rights. ‎The Commission previously had the authority to modify a station’s market only in the cable carriage context. With Section 102 of the STELAR, Congress provides regulatory parity in this regard and intends to promote consumer access to in-state and other relevant television programming. Section 102 of the STELAR, and the Commission’s actions in the Report and Order, establish a market modification process for the satellite carriage context and, to the extent possible, seek to address satellite subscribers’ inability to receive in-state programming in certain areas, sometimes called “orphan counties.” In the Report and Order, consistent with Congress’ intent that the Commission model the satellite market modification process on the current cable market modification process, the Commission implements Section 102 of the STELAR by revising the current cable market modification rule, Section 76.59, to apply also to satellite carriage, while adding provisions to the rules to address the unique nature of satellite television service.

Abstract

This is a request for a revision of the 1810-0684 High School Equivalency Program (HEP) Annual Performance Report collection. These revisions include language replacements, removals, and additions that are intended to ensure compliance with EDGAR 34 CFR 75.110 and OMB Circular A-110, improve the clarity of instructions and data collection, and remove duplicative language. Substantive changes include the addition of a data element related to mode of instruction. For a complete list of revisions, please see the attached summary, which will be shared with the public and OMB as a supplemental document. The Office of Migrant Education (OME) is collecting information for the High School Equivalency Program (HEP) which is authorized under Title IV, Section 418A of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by Section 408 of the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA)(20 U.S.C. 1070d-2) (special programs for students whose families are engaged in migrant and seasonal farm work) and 2 CFR 200.328 which requires that recipients of discretionary grants submit an Annual Performance Report (APR) to best inform improvements in program outcomes and productivity. Although the Education Department continues to use the generic 524B, OME is requesting to continue the use of a customized APR that goes beyond the generic 524B APR to facilitate the collection of more standardized and comprehensive data to inform performance indicators, to improve the overall quality of data collected, and to increase the quality of data that can be used to inform policy decisions. Although the Education Department continues to use the generic 524B, OME is requesting to continue the use of a customized APR that goes beyond the generic 524B APR to facilitate the collection of more standardized and comprehensive data to inform Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) indicators, to improve the overall quality of data collected, and to increase the quality of data that can be used to inform policy decisions.
