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.

Family Reunification Packet for Sponsors of Unaccompanied Children

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Refugee Resettlement’s (ORR) Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program provides care and custody for UC until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to UC in ORR custody. Care provider facilities must meet State licensing standards (with the exception of temporary emergency facilities and facilities located in states that are unwilling to license facilities caring for UC) and ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. The FRP for Sponsors of Unaccompanied Children information collection contains four instruments that allow ORR to collect information necessary to determine the suitability of a proposed sponsor for unaccompanied children as required by the Homeland Security Act (6 U.S.C. 279), the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232), and the Flores Settlement Agreement (No. CV85-4544-RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996)). The collection was last approved by OMB on August 24, 2022, and expires on August 31, 2025. ORR is proposing revisions to the web-based version of the Authorization for Release of Information (Form FRP-2) and Family Reunification Application (Form FRP-3), the Sponsor Experience App. These revisions will improve the functionality and user experience, and reduce burden.

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Child Support Enforcement, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), is requesting a three-year extension for the Advance Planning Document (APD) process (OMB #0970-0417). State child support agencies are required to establish and operate a federally approved statewide Automated Data Processing (ADP) and information retrieval system to assist in child support services. The APD process, established at 45 CFR Part 95, Subpart F, is the procedure by which states request and obtain approval for Federal Financial Participation (FFP) in their cost of acquiring ADP equipment and services. This information collection is authorized by 42 U.S.C. 1302 of the Social Security Act. Section 1102 of the Social Security Act authorizes the Secretary to publish regulations as may be necessary for the efficient administration of the functions with which the Secretary is responsible under the Act.

[OPHDST] National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) is the nation’s public health surveillance system used to monitor the occurrence and spread of nationally notifiable conditions. Respondents are 60 jurisdictions: public health departments in every U.S. state, New York City, Washington DC, 5 U.S. territories (American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), and 3 freely associated states (the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau). NNDSS provides the official source of statistics in the United States for nationally notifiable conditions and CDC is the sole repository for these national, population-based data. Recently the NNDSS platform was modernized and expanded as a low-cost, common portal for collecting information on other conditions. Among the thousands of diseases that affect the health of the population, CDC and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) have prioritized the approximately 120 Nationally Notifiable Conditions as those most important for public health monitoring and response. Changes to NNDSS in this revision include receipt of case notification data for Cronobacter and Ehrlichiosis since they are now nationally notifiable, receipt of case notification data for Congenital cytomegalovirus infection and Toxoplasmosis since they are under standardized surveillance, and receipt of disease-specific data elements for Cronobacter, Hansen’s Disease (Leprosy,) and Leptospirosis. There is a slight decrease in the burden.

Certification of Pesticide Applicators (Non-Substantive Change)

Key Information

Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers certification programs for pesticide applicators under section 11 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). FIFRA allows EPA to classify a pesticide as restricted use if the pesticide meets certain toxicity or risk criteria. This information collection request (ICR) addresses the paperwork activities performed by businesses, individuals and regulators to comply with training and certification requirements associated with restricted use pesticides (RUPs). Because of the potential of improperly applied RUPs to harm human health or the environment, pesticides under this classification may be purchased and applied only by certified applicators or by persons under the direct supervision of certified applicators. To become a certified applicator, a person must meet certain standards of competency; these standards are met through completion of a certification program or test.

Foreign Medical Program (FMP) Registration Form and Claim Cover Sheet

Key Information

Abstract

Foreign Medical Program (FMP) is a federal health benefits program for Veterans administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA). FMP is a Fee for Service (indemnity plan) program and provides reimbursement for VA adjudicated service-connected conditions. Title 38 CFR 17.35 states that the VA will provide coverage for the Veteran’s service-connected disability when the Veteran is residing or traveling overseas. VA Form 10-7959f-1, Foreign Medical Program (FMP) Registration Form, is used to register into the Foreign Medical Program those Veterans with service-connected disabilities that are living or traveling overseas. Title 38 CFR 17.125(c) states that requests for consideration of claim reimbursement from approved health care providers and Veterans are to be mailed to VHA Health Administration Center. VA Form 10-7959f-2, Foreign Medical Program Claim Cover Sheet, streamlines the claims submission process for claimants or physicians while also reducing the time spent by VA on processing FMP claims. The cover sheet will allow foreign providers and Veterans a better understanding of basic information required for the processing and payment of claims.

Implementing the Whistleblower Provision of Section 23 of the Commodity Exchange Act

Key Information

Abstract

Section 23 of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 26, directs that the Commission establish a fund from which to pay awards of 10 to 30 percent of sanctions collected from successful enforcement of covered judicial or administrative actions, or related actions, to individuals who provide information that leads to the successful enforcement of an action in which sanctions exceeding $1,000,000 are obtained. Section 23(c) establishes procedures for the determination or denial of an award. Rules 165.3 and 165.7 implement these statutory provisions. Rule 165.3 establishes the procedures for submitting original information, which enables the Commission to receive whistleblower tips regarding possible violations of the CEA. Ultimately, the receipt of such tips can lead to successful enforcement actions achieving total sanctions in excess of $1,000,000 or related actions. Rule 165.7 establishes the procedures for award applications and Commission award determinations. Rule 165.7 requires the whistleblower to apply for an award, and likewise enables the Commission to make a determination of the amount of an award or denial of an award based upon certain criteria.

Chemical Data Reporting under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (Non-Substantive Change)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request addresses the paperwork requirements contained in the most recent Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule under the TSCA. Under TSCA section 8(a), EPA is authorized to collect certain information on chemical substances manufactured (including imported) or processed in the United States. The CDR was formerly known as the Inventory Update Rule (IUR). The CDR collection provides chemical manufacture, processing, and use information that helps EPA identify what chemicals the public may be exposed to as consumers or in commercial and industrial settings. The data also help EPA assess routes of potential exposure to those chemicals. Beginning in 1986, EPA has used the CDR rule eight times to collect basic manufacturing information for selected chemical substances on the TSCA Inventory. More recent collections, beginning in 2006, included additional information relating to the manufacture, processing, and use of those chemical substances. The reporting requirements have been modified through rulemaking, with the most recent major changes occurring in 2020 when EPA promulgated the TSCA Chemical Data Reporting Revisions Under TSCA Section 8(a) rule (85 FR 20122, April 9, 2020) (FRL1000556) and the Small Manufacturer Definition Update for Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements under the TSCA Section 8(a) (85 FR 31986, May 28, 2020) (FRL 1000814). The 2020 revisions included a phase-in approach for some of its provisions. All provisions will be fully implemented for the 2024 CDR reporting cycle. The changes are described on EPAs CDR web page, at: https://www.epa.gov/chemical-datareporting/summary-reportingrequirement-changes-due-cdr-revisionsand-small, The CDR collection is on a four-year reporting cycle and contains detailed manufacturing, processing, and use information drawn from the principal reporting year; the rule also contains basic information on production volume, by year, for the three years prior to the principal reporting year (e.g., for the 2024 reporting cycle, the principal reporting year will be 2023; the three years prior will be 2020, 2021, and 2022). EPA uses the CDR data in its chemical substance risk-management efforts and for other uses. Individual sites manufacturing (including importing) chemical substances will submit the required information. The information will be stored electronically for reference by EPA staff and others. Within the constraints of confidentiality claims, the information will be made public through the Agency's website: https://www.epa.gov/chemical-datareporting. Further discussion on how the information is used, stored, and collected is included in this document.
