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.

Help America Vote Act (HAVA)

Key Information

Abstract

House Rule 3295, the Help America Vote Act of 2002, mandates that States verify the identities of newly registered voters. When newly registered voters do not have driver’s licenses or State-issued ID cards, they must supply the last four digits of their Social Security number to their local State election agencies for verification. The election agencies forward this information to their State Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA), and the State MVA inputs the data into the American Association of MVAs, a central consolidation system that routes the voter data to SSA’s Help America Vote Verification (HAVV) system. Once SSA’s HAVV system confirms the identity of the voter, the information returns along the same route in reverse until it reaches the State election agency. The respondents are the State MVAs seeking to confirm voter identities.

Study of Assessing CDBG–DR and Disaster Recovery Outcomes of Renter Household

Key Information

Abstract

This research is conducted under the authority of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to undertake research and studies related to HUD’s mission and programs (12 USC 1701z-1 et seq.). Findings from various studies illustrate that renters are underprioritized compared to homeowners in terms of recovery program opportunities (Wilson et al., 2021). Renters have fewer disaster assistance options than homeowners (Mickelson et al., 2019) leading to longer-term displacement (Fussell and Harris, 2014). Additionally, disasters disrupting rental housing markets can permanently displace renters (Wilson et al., 2021), increase rents (Dillon-Merrill et al., 2018; GAO, 2010), affect long term availability (Dillon-Merrill et al., 2018; Sheldon and Zhan, 2019), cause post-disaster displacement , particularly for residents relying on housing vouchers (Hamideh and Rongerude, 2018; Vinogradasky, 2009), and result in displaced renters being less likely to return to their original places of residence (Levine et al., 2007; Hori and Schafer, 2010; Fussell and Harris, 2014). This research addresses the HUD issued NOFO (FR-6600-N-29A) to “improve disaster recovery effectiveness for renter households by examining the disaster recovery outcomes of renter households and rental housing stock in places that received Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery grants (CDBG-DR).” . This research objectives aim to (1) better understand CDBG-DR allocations across housing tenure, specifically for renters, (2) identify successful processes with corresponding outcomes for rental housing recovery aid programs, (3) engage with and link disaster recovery strategies and programs to actual and desired outcomes amongst renters from their lived experiences, and (4) translate this research into actionable programmatic recommendations with appropriate timelines, policy making and implementation changes to improve these outcomes. HORNE LLP is managing this research under a cooperative agreement. The purpose of this research is to involve both renters and property owners who have experienced disasters, aiming to capture their firsthand experiences and gain deeper insights into their specific needs and challenges. The overall goal of this study is to collaboratively devise targeted intervention strategies, implemented through CDBG-DR, to comprehensively address the needs of renters whose homes have been damaged or destroyed, thereby enhancing future disaster recovery efforts.

Moving to Work,Asset Building Cohort Evaluation

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) at the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) contracted with MEF Associates, with subcontractor Abt Associates, to develop the Research Design and Data Collection and Analysis Plan for an evaluation of the Moving to Work Expansion Asset Building Cohort. As required under the Paperwork Reduction Act, HUD seeks approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for data collection instruments for the evaluation. Moving to Work (MTW) is a HUD demonstration that encourages selected PHAs to test ways to increase the cost effectiveness of federal housing programs, encourage greater self-sufficiency of households receiving housing assistance, and increase housing choice for low-income families. MTW designation gives PHAs relief from some regulations and laws that apply to Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and public housing programs. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 authorized HUD to award MTW authority to 100 additional PHAs by September 2023, and required that new MTW agencies be selected in cohorts with a specific policy focus. The Asset Building Cohort will test two types of asset building programs for HUD households, rent reporting for credit building and an opt-out savings account program. The ABC has 17 PHAs. Of these 17 PHAs, 9 PHAs will implement an opt-out savings program, six PHAs will implement reporting rent payments to credit agencies, and two PHAs have unique asset building programs. The evaluation of the ABC will include these three components: 1) Program Implementation Study 2) Impact Studies: a. Rent Reporting for Credit Building Study i . Quantitative study of impact on credit scores ii. Qualitative study of family experiences with rent reporting b. Opt-Out Savings Account Study i. Household survey To answer the research questions, the evaluation will collect data from multiple sources, including: • Administrative Data o Credit agency data to measure credit scores o HUD administrative data to describe household income and demographics o PHA data to enable random selection of households for the study samples • Program Data o Program documents to describe program implementation and outreach to households o Program data to describe program implementation, such as how many households participated, how much money was deposited by the PHA into the opt-out savings account, and how much the PHA paid to the partner organizations • Primary Data o Program implementation interviews with PHA staff (n=51) o Program implementation interviews with staff of partner organizations (n=12) o Program implementation interviews with HUD-assisted residents (n = 10) o Baseline information form for Rent Reporting study participants (n= 300) o Informed consent form for Rent Reporting study participants (n= 300) o Interviews for Rent Reporting Qualitative study round 1 (n = 40) o Interview for Rent Reporting Qualitative study round 2 (n=40) The data collection activities covered under this ICR are expected to begin in January 2024 and continue through June 2025; phase two of the data collection is expected to begin in June 2025 and continue through January 2027.

The Health Care Survey of DoD Beneficiaries (HCSDB)

Key Information

Abstract

The Health Care Survey of DoD Beneficiaries (HCSDB) is the only population-based Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Health Plan Survey administered to a statistically representative, world-wide sample of all eligible DoD beneficiaries by the Defense Health Agency (DHA). The HCSDB is a population-based survey. As such, the HCSDB is the only survey able to measure access to care and other metrics for beneficiaries who may not be using the TRICARE health system due to barriers to care they encounter. This information collection, which began in 2008, continues to be of critical importance to DHA and Congress in assessing Military Health System (MHS) and Managed Care Support Contractor performance by allowing for trending by various beneficiary categories over time.

Impact of Driver Detention Time on Safety and Operations

Key Information

Abstract

This is to request the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB’s) review and approval of a new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) ICR titled “Impact of Driver Detention Time on Safety and Operations.” The purpose for obtaining data in this study is to evaluate the impact of driver detention time on safety and CMV operations. This research study will collect data on commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver detention times that are representative of the major segments of the motor carrier industry. The research study will collect 12 months of safety and operational data from up to 80 commercial motor carriers (hereafter referred to as “carriers”) and 2,500 of their CMV drivers. Data collected will include electronic logging device (ELD) records, GPS location information, telematics data, pickup/delivery details, information on tasks completed while at shipping and receiving facilities, crashes, violations, and carrier demographics. Participation by CMV drivers in this study is optional. There are three primary objectives for this study: (i) assess the frequency and severity of driver detention time using data that is representative of the major segments of the motor carrier industry, (ii) assess the utility of existing ITS solutions to measure detention time, and (iii) prepare a final report that summarizes the findings, answers the research questions, and offers strategies to reduce detention time. The carriers will be selected from the approximately 3,000 SpeedGauge clients in the Driven Data Clearinghouse. SpeedGauge is a company that specializes in driving analytics and performance. Data that will be collected includes carrier information, carrier-owned driver data, carrier-owned transportation management systems (TMS) data, carrier-owned telematics and ELD data, SpeedGauge insurance claims data, Federal safety data, and data collected through electronic questionnaires. FMCSA has contracted with VTTI at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VT) to administer this study and analyze its results. Additionally, VTTI subcontracted data collection tasks to Telematic and Video Services (TVS). TVS provides safety and operational services to commercial motor carriers.

Key Information

Abstract

The LIHEAP Quarterly Performance and Management Report Instructions were originally approved by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on October 12, 2022, for use until October 31, 2025. The instructions were created to provide direction to the LIHEAP grant recipients on how to record data and information for the LIHEAP Quarterly Performance and Management Report using a Microsoft Spreadsheet. Beginning in fiscal year (FY) FY24, the LIHEAP Quarterly Performance and Management Report method of data collection was changed from using a Microsoft Spreadsheet to entering the report into the Grant Solutions Online Data Collection (OLDC) system. OLDC allows grant recipients to enter LIHEAP data collection reports and allows LIHEAP to maintain and store data in a data warehouse. Utilizing OLDC for the LIHEAP Quarterly Performance and Management Report will reduce grant recipient burden and improve the quality of the data collection. As a result of this change, OCS updated the LIHEAP Quarterly Performance and Management Report Instructions. The LIHEAP Quarterly Performance and Management Report Instructions were changed from describing how to use the Microsoft Spreadsheet report to how to enter the report into OLDC. Additional changes were made to provide a more complete explanation of the requirements. There are no changes proposed the information requested on the LIHEAP Quarterly Performance and Management Report.

HEDIS Data Collection for Medicare Advantage (CMS-10219)

Key Information

Abstract

CMS has a responsibility to its Medicare beneficiaries to ensure that care provided by Medicare Advantage (MA) contracts to CMS is of high quality and conforms to currently acceptable standards of medical care. CMS accomplishes this through the collection, analysis and dissemination of HEDIS data, the most widely used standardized clinical performance measurement set in managed care. Since January 1997, Medicare managed care contracts have been required to annually report quality of care performance measures from HEDIS. In April 1997, CMS began working with NCQA to implement HEDIS data collection directly into the Medicare managed care program. It is critical to the agency's mission that CMS continues to collect and disseminate information that will help beneficiaries choose among health plans; information that contributes to better health care through the identification of quality improvement opportunities; and provides for proper oversight and management of the Medicare program. These data are used in external CMS information products issued to beneficiaries, and are published on the CMS public website. These data are also made publicly available through public use files (PUFs) posted on the CMS website. CMS relies heavily on HEDIS data for contractor surveillance and assessment activities. It is critical to the agency's mission that CMS continues to collect and disseminate information that will help beneficiaries choose among health plans; information that contributes to better health care through the identification of quality improvement opportunities; and provides for proper oversight and management of the Medicare program.

NMFS Alaska Region Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) Program

Key Information

Abstract

This is a resubmission, with the final rule, of a request by the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, for extension and revision of this currently approved information collection for the NMFS Alaska Region Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) Program. NMFS requires owners and operators of selected vessels participating in federally managed groundfish and crab fisheries off Alaska to obtain, install, and maintain an operational, NMFS-approved VMS. Tracking vessel location using VMS is required to monitor compliance with area-specific catch allocations, monitor compliance with requirements to redeploy or remove fishing gear from commercial fishing grounds, and monitor compliance with complicated time and area closures in the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands to protect Steller sea lion or essential fish habitat. This information collection is revised due to the final rule (RIN 0648-BM42) to implement Amendment 16 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Salmon Fisheries in the EEZ Off Alaska. Amendment 16 and the rule establish Federal fishery management for all salmon fishing that occurs in the Cook Inlet Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which includes commercial drift gillnet and recreational salmon fishery sectors. This collection is revised to include vessels commercially fishing for salmon in the Cook Inlet EEZ Area that will be required to install and maintain an operational VMS. This increases the number of respondents for this collection.This rule will also add a new information collection for the Cook Inlet EEZ commercial salmon fishery under new OMB control number 0648-0818. NMFS is submitting a separate request for the new collection. No changes were made to the requirements in this collection from the proposed rule to the final rule.

Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Survey for the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) (CMS-10450)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1848(q) of the Social Security Act, as amended by section 101 of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, authorizes the establishment of a Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for eligible clinicians. Beginning in CY 2017, eligible clinicians are required to collect and submit data on four performance categories to CMS (quality, cost, advancing care information and improvement activities). This program replaces and consolidates portions of the PQRS, Value-based Modifier, and the Medicare EHR Incentive Program. The Act also establishes a second track, Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs) for clinicians to participate in instead of MIPS. The CAHPS survey information is used for quality reporting to collect data on fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries’ experiences of care with eligible clinicians participating in MIPS, the Physician Compare website, and annual statistical reports describing MIPS data for all MIPS eligible clinicians.
