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.

Migrant Student Information Exchange User Application Form

Key Information

Abstract

Regulations for the Migrant Information Exchange (MSIX), effective on June 9, 2016, were issued by the U.S. Department of Education (the Department). The MSIX, a nationwide, electronic records exchange mechanism mandated under Title I, Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended. As a condition of receiving a grant of funds under the Migrant Education Program (MEP), each State educational agency (SEA) is required to collect, maintain, and submit minimum health and education-related data to MSIX within established timeframes. MSIX is designed to facilitate timely school enrollment, grade and course placement, accrual of secondary course credits and participation in the MEP for migratory children. Additionally, the regulations help the Department to determine accurate migratory child counts and meet other MEP reporting requirements. The MEP is authorized under sections 1301-1309 in Title I, Part C of the ESEA, as amended. MSIX and the minimum data elements (MDEs) are authorized specifically under section 1308(b) of the ESEA, as amended. The Department is requesting approval to extend the 1810-0686 information collection that supports statutory requirements for data collection under Title I, Part C - MEP. The purpose of the MSIX User Application Form is to collect user directory data to verify the identity of users in order to grant access to the MSIX system for the purpose of transferring migratory student data. The application collects information on an MSIX users’ identity, title/position, work address, work telephone, email, and role in MSIX.

Investment Advice to Participants and Beneficiaries

Key Information

Abstract

Under ERISA, providing “investment advice” is a fiduciary act. A fiduciary who advises participants about plan investment opportunities that pay the adviser fees or commissions may be subject to liability under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) prohibited transaction rules. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–280) amended the ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code (Code) to include a statutory exemption for providing investment advice to participants and beneficiaries in self-directed defined contribution individual account ERISA-covered plans (Plans) and beneficiaries of individual retirement accounts, individual retirement annuities, Archer MSAs, health savings accounts and Coverdell education savings accounts (collectively IRAs) described in the Code. The statutory exemption provides relief from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, and the parallel provisions of the Code. The information collections that are conditions of the regulation include, third-party disclosures, recordkeeping, and audit requirements. With one exception, the regulation does not require any reporting or filing with the Federal government, but the designated records must be made available upon request. The exception is the requirement that the fiduciary adviser is required under certain circumstances to forward the audit report which is also a required disclosure under the regulation to the Department.

Office of State Support Progress Check Quarterly Protocol

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of School Support and Accountability (SSA) administers Title I, Sections 1001-1004 (School Improvement); Title I, Part A (Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies); Title I, Part B Grants for State Assessments and Related Activities; Title II, Part A (Supporting Effective Instruction); Title I, Part D (Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk); Title IV, Part B (21st Century Community Learning Centers); and McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program. Quarterly progress checks, phone or in-person conversations every three months of a fiscal year with State directors and coordinators, help ensure that State Educational Agencies (SEAs) are making progress toward increasing student achievement and improving the quality of instruction for all students through regular conversations about the quality of SEA implementation of SSA administered programs. The information shared with SSA helps inform the selection and delivery of technical assistance to SEAs and aligns structures, processes, and routines so SSA can regularly monitor the connection between grant administration and intended outcomes. Progress checks also allow SSA to proactively engage with SEAs to identify any issues ahead of formal monitoring visits, decreasing the need for enforcement actions and minimizing burden for SEAs. This is a request for a renewal without change of this collection.

Alternative Method of Compliance for Certain Simplified Employee Pensions

Key Information

Abstract

Section 110 of ERISA relieves sponsors of certain Simplified Employee Pensions (SEPs) from ERISA's Title I reporting and disclosure requirements by prescribing an alternative method of compliance. These SEPs are, for purposes of this information collection, referred to as “non-model SEPs” because they exclude those SEPs which are created through use of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 5305–SEP, and those SEPs in which the employer influences the employees as to their choice of IRAs to which employer contributions will be made, and that also prohibit withdrawals by participants. This information collection requirement generally requires timely written disclosure to employees eligible to participate in non-model SEPs, including specific information concerning: participation requirements; allocation formulas for employer contributions; designated contact persons for further information; and, for employer recommended IRAs, specific terms of the IRAs such as rates of return and any restrictions on withdrawals. Moreover, general information is required that provides a clear explanation of: the operation of the non-model SEP; participation requirements and any withdrawal restrictions; and the tax treatment of the SEP-related IRA. Furthermore, statements must be provided that inform participants of: any other IRAs under the non-model SEP other than that to which employer contributions are made; any options regarding rollovers and contributions to other IRAs; descriptions of IRS disclosure requirements to participants and information regarding social security integration (if applicable); and timely notification of any amendments to the terms of the non-model SEP.

Abstract

Restored Entitlement Program for Survivors (REPS) benefits are payable to certain surviving spouses and children of veterans who died in service prior to August 13, 1981 or who died as a result of a service-connected disability incurred or aggravated prior to August 13, 1981. Child beneficiaries over age 18 and under age 23 must be enrolled full-time in an approved post-secondary school. VBA uses VA Form 21P-8926 to verify that a beneficiary who is receiving REPS benefits based on schoolchild status is enrolled full-time in an approved school and is otherwise eligible for continued benefits. VBA has used the information collected to make such benefit eligibility determinations and ensure REPS payments are issued properly.

Evaluation of the Computer Science for All: Reseach-Partnership Practice Program

Abstract

NSF’s Computer Science for All (CS4All): Research-Practice Partnerships (RPPS) program was designed to foster research and development to provide all U.S. students the opportunity to participate in computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) education in schools at the preK-12 level. The program awarded grants aimed at providing high school teachers with the preparation, PD and ongoing supports to teach rigorous CS courses; preK-8 teachers with instructional materials and preparation they need to integrate CS and CT into their teaching; and schools and districts the resources needed to define and evaluate multi-grade pathways in CS and CT. NSF provides an annual report to Congress on the success of the program as measured by short-, mid- and long-term metrics that NSF identifies. FY 2023 marks the first year in which longer-term metrics (those measured beyond the 5-year mark) are to be included. This will require collecting data from grantees to document the longer-term metrics, given that many of these grants will have ended.

Understanding the Human Response to Water Hazards: A Social Network Analysis

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for a new collection of information. Under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the National Weather Service’s Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science (SBES) Program was provided funding to better understand the human responses to water hazard services and products. This project seeks to understand and mitigate flooding outcomes for riverine communities, especially those that rank high on the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC’s) Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), by conducting a Social Network Analysis (SNA) to study how stakeholders within 2 selected communities, Roanoke, Virginia, and Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Based on interviews with local government leaders and community-based organizations (CBOs) along with a survey of residents, the resulting SNA will map how messages are created and distributed, how they are accessed and understood, and how the information affects the decisions of emergency and water resource managers, first responders, community partners, and the general public as they prepare for, respond to, and recover from flooding events. While the NWS possesses some anecdotal knowledge of the dissemination and use of flood forecasts, a more complete accounting and formal analysis of the individuals and groups within these networks are needed. Ideally, the findings from the SNA in relation to the water hazard products and services will not only improve the NWS’s understanding of who the stakeholders are, but also how they use the information provided and what they believe are the benefits for their constituents.

Dispensing Records of Individual Practitioners

Key Information

Abstract

In accordance with the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), every DEA registrant must make a biennial inventory and maintain, on a current basis, a complete and accurate record of each controlled substance manufactured, received, sold, delivered, or otherwise disposed of. 21 U.S.C. 827 and 958. These records must be maintained separately from all other records of the registrant or, alternatively, in the case of non-narcotic controlled substances, be in such a form that required information is readily retrievable from the ordinary business records of the registrant. 21 U.S.C. 827(b)(2). The records maintained by registrants must be kept and be available for at least two years for inspection and copying by officers or employees of the United States as authorized by the Attorney General. 21 U.S.C. 827(b)(3). The DEA may promulgate regulations that specify the information that registrants must maintain in the required records. 21 U.S.C. 827(b)(1). Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 827(c), practitioners who regularly dispense or administer controlled substances to patients and charge them for the substances and those practitioners who administer controlled substances in the course of maintenance or detoxification treatment shall keep records of such activities, and accordingly must comply with the regulations on recordkeeping. Paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of 21 CFR 1304.03 identify when individual practitioners are required to maintain records of controlled substances. The recordkeeping requirements for these practitioners are contained in 1304.04(g), 1304.11, 1304.22, and 1304.24.

On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, Pub. L. 111-152, collectively referred to as “The Affordable Care Act.” The Affordable Care Act expands access to health insurance for individuals and employees of small businesses through the establishment of new Affordable Insurance Exchanges (Exchanges), including the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP). The Health Benefits Exchanges established by the Affordable Care Act facilitate the enrollment of qualified individuals into Qualified Health Plans (QHPs). Section 1501(b) of the Affordable Care Act added section 5000A of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) to a new chapter 48 of subtitle of the Code effective for months beginning after December 31, 2013. Section 5000A of the Code requires that nonexempt individuals either maintain minimum essential coverage or make a shared responsibility payment, includes standards for the calculation of the shared responsibility payment, describes categories of individuals who may qualify for an exemption from the shared responsibility payment, and provides the definition of minimum essential coverage. Section 1311(d)(4)(H) of the Affordable Care Act specifies that the Exchange will, subject to section 1411 of the Affordable Care Act, grant certifications of exemption from the shared responsibility payment specified in section 5000A of the Code. Section 1411(a)(4) of the Affordable Care Act provides that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) will establish a program for determining whether a certification of exemption from the shared responsibility requirement and penalty will be issued by an Exchange under section 1311(d)(4)(H). Section 1321 of the Affordable Care Act discusses state flexibility in the operation and enforcement of Exchanges and related requirements. Section 1321(a) provides broad authority for the Secretary to establish standards and regulations to implement the statutory requirements related to Exchanges and other components of title I of the Affordable Care Act as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. CMS is publishing the criteria needed to determine eligibility for certifications of exemption and updated applications for exemptions as processed by the Marketplace. CMS developed this PRA package as part of an effort to solicit feedback from key stakeholders.

Enterprise Scheduling System (ESS)

Key Information

Abstract

The Enterprise Scheduling System (ESS) will provide a better respondent and employee experience. The first ESS release is specific to allowing self-scheduling for enumeration services. ESS subsequent releases will expand services for other appointment needs. Through ESS respondent self scheduling and technician scheduling, SSA will collect specific information about respondents (e.g., respondent: name, address, zip code, telephone number, and email address). In addition, we ask the respondent to consent to receive optional electronic messaging or opt out; electronic message preference (email/text), if respondents provide consent; language preferences (English/Spanish); respondent’s preferred office to receive service; and appointment (day and time preference) to schedule an in-office appointment to process a request for an original SSN or replacement Social Security card. In addition, we will ask respondents scheduling their initial appointment through a technician to create a one-time passcode to securely allow online updates to their appointment. The technician will document the one-time passcode with the respondent's other appointment preferences. Respondents will use ESS to complete required screens and fields to select a date and time for an appointment at an SSA field office (FO) to provide the proofs necessary to obtain a replacement or original SSN card. Respondents can complete the online collection themselves. If respondents encounter issues with ESS, they may contact SSA by phone to complete scheduling the appointment through a technician. We will integrate ESS with VIPr Mobile check-in functions, so ESS respondents will have the option to check-in for their appointment using Mobile check-in on their personal device, instead of checking in at the kiosk. Using VIPr, SSA employees can request walk in visitors and individuals with appointments to come into the office. The respondents are individuals looking to schedule their own SSA visit using ESS. This is an IT Mod non-substantive Change Request to enhance the technician's use when setting up customer's appointments. We do not anticipate these changes will affect the current burden for ESS.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Positive Train Control and Other Signal Systems

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is mandatory, and is a revision to the last approval. Specifically, on November 15, 2021, President Joseph R. Biden signed into law the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Section 22414 of the IIJA impacts FRA’s existing Form FRA F 6180.152, the Biannual Report of PTC System Performance. Section 22414 establishes the same reporting requirement as FRA’s existing regulations, using the same FRA form number and content requirements. However, the statutory reporting requirement is quarterly, not biannual like FRA’s regulations. The reporting and recordkeeping information collected is used by FRA to ensure new or novel signal and train control technologies meet proposed performance standards and work as intended in the US rail environment. Under 49 U.S.C. m §20157, as amended by the PCEI Act. To effectively monitor the industry’s implementation of PTC systems, FRA requires each subject railroad to submit this form as well as other information collection required under Part 236. Information collected is also on an occasional basis as well as monthly, quarterly, and annually.

Science & Data for Water Hazards Response

Key Information

Abstract

The United States is facing growing challenges related to water availability and quality due to shifting demographics, aging water-delivery infrastructure, the impacts of climate change, and increasing hazards risk, like floods and drought. Working with incomplete knowledge, managers must consider the needs of various demographic groups and economic sectors when making management decisions and responding to emergencies. To improve delivery of effective science to support decision-making, the USGS must adapt to meet the evolving needs of stakeholders in the water-hazard space. We will collect information regarding the decision-making process, data, and data-format needs to support daily, long-term, and emergency management decision-making. Information will also be sought on gaps in data delivery and coverage. A lack of decision-support data within water institutions can lead to poor decision-making and outcomes that may increase the risk to life, property, and environmental health resulting from a hazard event. This information will support the delivery of appropriate data, in appropriate formats, at the right time for decision-making and emergency management. The information will guide USGS support of water-resource institutions, enhancing resilience in the face of the Nation’s many water-resources challenges.
