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.

Container Certification Statements

Key Information

Abstract

This is to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a three-year renewal for the information collection titled, "Container Certification Statements." This reporting requirement is mandatory for the person responsible for packing or loading a freight container or transport vehicle containing hazardous materials for transportation by manned vessel in ocean or coastwise service. Furthermore, there are additional requirements for persons who ship Class 1 hazardous materials (explosives), other than Division 1.4 in a similar manner. The documentation is required when a package is offered for transportation via vessel. This certification statement is a statement made by the required persons that they ascertain that the package was loaded, marked, and placarded properly. This may be indicated on a shipping paper or another accompanying document. Carriers receive this information to ensure that they are transporting packaging that has been certified as packaged properly.

Cargo Tank Specification Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for an extension without change of OMB Control No. 2137-0014 for reporting and recordkeeping requirements pertaining to the manufacture, certification, inspection, repair, maintenance, and re-qualification of Department of Transportation (DOT) specification cargo tank motor vehicles. Reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in this request have been determined by PHMSA to be essential. The HMR prescribe requirements for the operation, maintenance, repair, and re-qualification of all DOT specification cargo tanks to decrease the probability and number of hazardous material releases due to an accident or tank failure. These requirements are based on ongoing research, petitions for rulemaking, and incident reports on the release of hazardous materials related to cargo tank motor vehicle transportation. Cargo tank manufacturing, registration, and qualification and maintenance requirements are found in Part 178, Subpart J, Part 180, Subpart E, and Part 107, Subpart F, respectively. Manufacturers, assemblers, repairers, requalifiers, motor carriers, and operators of DOT specification cargo motor vehicles are subject to these reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Rulemaking and current regulatory authority is from the Federal hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.).

FERC-546, Certificated Rate Filings: Gas Pipeline Rates (PL24-1-000)

Key Information

Abstract

The following list outlines four circumstances under which the FERC-546 information collection requirements for certificated rates must be met: A company decides to: 1. Construct and operate a new jurisdictional pipeline; 2. Expand its certificated pipeline capacity by constructing a lateral pipeline, adding compression or providing storage at incremental or cost-based rates; 3. Build a new liquefied natural gas facility; or 4. Provide gas storage and negotiate market based rates. Under the circumstances 1-3, the company must file its FERC-546 cost data along with an application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity under the statutory requirements of NGA Section 7(c). For circumstance 4, the company must file its FERC-546 information with an application under NGA Section 4(f). The FERC-546 includes the following: • Supporting information for proposed initial rates (e.g. cost-based, market based, incremental rates); • Pro forma tariffs; • Motions to put proposed initial rates into effect subject to Commission findings on the related certificate; and • Unexecuted precedent agreements. Section 16 of the NGA grants the Commission administrative powers including the ability to define accounting, technical and trade terms, prescribe forms, statements, declarations or reports and to prescribe rules and regulations. Section 403 of the Department of Energy Organization Act authorizes the Commission to establish and review priorities for curtailments under the Natural Gas Act. The Commission reviews the FERC-546 materials in order to approve rates and tariff changes associated with an application for a certificate under NGA Section 7(c). Additionally, the Commission reviews FERC-546 materials in 4(f) storage applications to evaluate market power and decide whether to grant, deny, or condition market based rate authority for the applicant. The Commission also uses the FERC-546 information to monitor jurisdictional transportation, natural gas storage, and unbundled sales activities of interstate natural gas pipelines and Hinshaw pipelines. In addition to fulfilling the Commission’s obligations under the NGA, the FERC-546 enables the Commission to monitor activities, evaluate transactions, ensure competitiveness, and improved efficiency of the gas industry's operations. In summary, the Commission uses the FERC-546 information to: • Ensure adequate customer protections under section 4(f) of the NGA; • Review rate and tariff changes by natural gas companies for the transportation of natural gas and natural gas storage services; • Provide general industry oversight; and • Supplement documentation during its audits process. Failure to collect this information would prevent the Commission from being able to monitor and evaluate transactions and operations of interstate pipelines and perform its regulatory functions.

Train Crew Size Safety Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

FRA proposes regulations establishing safe minimum requirements for the size of train crews depending on the type of operation. A minimum requirement of two crewmembers is proposed for all railroad operations, with exceptions proposed for those operations that do not pose significant safety risks to railroad employees, the public, or the environment. This proposed rule would also establish minimum requirements for the location of crewmembers on a moving train and promote safe and effective teamwork. FRA also proposes a special approval procedure to allow railroads to petition FRA to continue legacy operations with one-person train crews and allow any railroad to petition FRA for approval to initiate a new train operation with fewer than two crewmembers. This collection of information is mandatory, collected as needed, and is associated with FRA's rule 49 CFR part 218, subpart G.

FERC-538, Gas Pipeline Certificates: Section 7(a) Mandatory Initial Service (PL24-1-000)

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of FERC-538 is to implement the information collections pursuant to Sections 7(a), 10(a) and 16 of Natural Gas Act (NGA) , and part 156 of the Commission Regulations. These statutes and regulations upon application by a person or municipality authorized to engage in the local distribution of natural gas, allow for the Commission to order a natural gas company to extend or improve its transportation facilities and sell natural gas to the municipality or person and, for such purpose, to extend its transportation facilities to communities immediately adjacent to such facilities or to territories served by the natural gas pipeline company. The Commission uses the application data in order to be fully informed concerning the applicant, and the service the applicant is requesting. In the final policy statement, PL24-1-000, the Commission is clarifying that the cost data (submitted via the FERC-538) should include project-wide labor wages and include union and non-union wages. The Commission clarified it will look to applicable collective-bargaining agreements or Project Labor Agreements as an appropriate default source of project-area wage standards because collectively bargained wages reflect actual wage and fringe benefit rates paid to the project workforce. Collective-bargaining agreements reflect the actual labor cost that should be included in cost estimate submitted in conjunction with request for a municipality or to person extend its transportation facilities to communities immediately adjacent to such facilities or to territories served a natural gas pipeline company.

Cave Management: Cave Nominations and Requests for Confidential Information (43 CFR Part 37)

Key Information

Abstract

Agencies within the Department of the Interior collect the information in accordance with the Federal Cave Resources Protection Act (FCRPA), which requires the Secretaries of Agriculture and Interior to identify and protect significant caves on Federal lands within their respective jurisdictions. This OMB control number covers Federal lands managed by agencies within the Department of the Interior, but not Federal lands managed by agencies within the Department of Agriculture (e.g., U.S. Forest Service). Agencies within the Department of the Interior use the information in a cave nomination to determine if the nominated cave will be listed as significant in accordance with the FCRPA and the Department's regulations at 43 CFR 37.11(c). The information is thus necessary for full compliance with agencies' responsibilities to identify and protect significant caves and their resources. Agencies within the Department of the Interior use the information in confidential cave information requests to determine whether to grant access to confidential cave data. Agencies need this information in order to comply with their statutory responsibilities to communicate, cooperate, and exchange information about significant caves, within the limits prescribed by FCRPA. This request is for OMB to renew this OMB control number for an additional three (3) years.

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Transportation (Department/DOT) requests the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) approval of information collection instruments in the Department’s Final Rule. These changes update the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Airport Concession DBE (ACDBE) program regulations at 49 CFR Parts 26 and 23, respectively. The changes include new collection instruments as well as updates to existing collection instruments. This Supporting Statement includes the DBE program collection instruments for which OMB renewed approval on March 1, 2022. The Department is including them in this Supporting Statement because the final rule would modify the paperwork burdens associated with those instruments. On March 10, 2022, OMB took under consideration the Department’s request for an OMB Control Number for an additional 18 DBE program information collection instruments that had not previously been submitted for OMB’s approval. On April 27, 2022, OMB took under consideration the Department’s request for an OMB Control Number for an Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) Program information collection that had not previously been submitted for approval (ICR Reference No: 202204-2120-002).

The Federal Maritime Commission (Commission) is seeking public comment on a proposed rule that requires common carriers and marine terminal operators to include specific minimum information on demurrage and detention invoices and outlines certain billing practices relevant to appropriate timeframes for issuing invoices, disputing charges with the billing party, and resolving such disputes. The proposed rule addresses considerations identified in the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022. The proposed rule would (1) adopt minimum information that common carriers must include in a demurrage or detention invoice that is listed in 46 U.S.C. 41104(d)(2); (2) add to this list additional information that must be included in or with a demurrage or detention invoice; (3) further define prohibited practices by clarifying which parties may be appropriately billed for demurrage or detention charges; and (4) establish billing practices that billing parties must follow when invoicing for demurrage or detention charges.

Application To Be a Qualified Entity to Receive Medicare Data for Performance Measurement / Reapplication / Annual Report Worksheet (CMS-10394)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 10332 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires the Secretary to make standardized extracts of Medicare claims data under Parts A, B, and D available to ''qualified entities'' for the evaluation of the performance of providers of services and suppliers. The statute provides the Secretary with discretion to establish criteria to determine whether an entity is qualified to use claims data to evaluate the performance of providers of services and suppliers. We are proposing at section CFR 401.703 to evaluate an organization's eligibility across three areas: organizational and governance capabilities, addition of claims data from other sources (as required in the statute), and data privacy and security. This is the application through which organizations will provide information to CMS to determine whether they will be approved as a qualified entity.

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of this data submission request is to support oversight and program integrity for Part D enrollees who participate in the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan program, which was established under Section 11202 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, Public L. 117-169 (IRA). Under this program, MA Organizations offering Part D coverage and Part D sponsors are required to offer enrollees the option to pay their Part D cost sharing in monthly amounts spread out over the plan year based on the formula described in section 1860D-2(b)(2)(E)(iv) of the Act. To effectively monitor the program, Part D plans will be required to report data elements related to the program at the beneficiary, contract, and Plan Benefit Package (PBP) levels beginning in Contract Year (CY) 2025. CMS proposes to require Part D plans to submit beneficiary-level data elements into the MARx system via a program-specific transaction. Our fundamental goal is to have the least burdensome data submission requirements necessary to acquire the data needed for accurate Medicare Prescription Payment Plan program oversight. CMS believes that collecting beneficiary-level data through MARx is the most effective way for us to oversee implementation of this program. Beneficiary-level data will enable CMS to better understand participation patterns across different populations, address enrollee concerns related to the program in near real-time and inform CMS of changes to potential guidance and program requirements in the future.
