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.

Generic Clearance for Internet Panel Pretesting and Qualitative Survey Methods Testing

Key Information

Abstract

The information collected in this program of developing and testing questionnaires and advertising that will be used by the Census Bureau to evaluate and improve the quality of the data in the surveys and censuses that are ultimately conducted. Because the questionnaires being tested under this clearance are still in the process of development, the data that result from these collections are not considered official statistics of the Census Bureau or other Federal agencies. Data will be included in research reports prepared for sponsors inside and outside of the Census Bureau. The results may also be prepared for presentations related to survey methodology at professional meetings or publications in professional journals.

Notice of Claim and Proof of Loss, Working Capital Guarantee

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended (12 USC 635, et seq.), the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank), facilitates the finance of the export of U.S. goods and services by providing insurance or guarantees to U.S. exporters or lenders financing U.S. exports. By neutralizing the effect of export credit insurance or guarantees offered by foreign governments and by absorbing credit risks that the private sector will not accept, EXIM Bank enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly in foreign markets on the basis of price and product. In the event that a borrower defaults on a transaction insured or guaranteed by EXIM Bank, the insured or guaranteed exporter or lender may seek payment from EXIM Bank by the submission of a claim. This collection of information is necessary, pursuant to 12 USC 635 (a)(1), to determine if such claim complies with the terms and conditions of the relevant insurance policy or guarantee, as the case may be. Ex-Im Bank offers guarantees of principal and interest on floating or fixed-rate loans by eligible lenders to creditworthy U.S. exporters to enable them to meet their working capital needs and fulfill their export sales contracts. The guarantees cover the repayment risks of the U.S. exporters export working capital line. Ex-Im Bank guarantees that, in the event of a payment default by the borrower, it will repay to the lender the outstanding principal and interest on the loan.

Community Reinvestment Act Regulation

Key Information

Abstract

The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) is designed to encourage regulated banks to help meet the credit needs of the local communities in which they are chartered, consistent with safety and soundness. Specifically, Congress found that “(1) regulated financial institutions are required by law to demonstrate that their deposit facilities serve the convenience and needs of the communities in which they are chartered to do business; (2) the convenience and needs of communities include the need for credit as well as deposit services; and (3) regulated financial institutions have continuing and affirmative obligation to help meet the credit needs of the local communities in which they are chartered.” The CRA statute requires the agencies to “assess the institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of such institution.” Upon completing this assessment, the statute requires the agencies to “prepare a written evaluation of the institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.” In addition, the statute requires making portions of these written evaluations, referred to by the agencies as performance evaluations, available to the public. The statute further provides that each agency must consider a bank’s CRA performance “in its evaluation of an application for a deposit facility by such institution.” This ICR is being submitted in connection with an interagency final rule issued by the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to strengthen and modernize their regulations implementing the CRA.

Demurrage Liability Disclosure Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This collection requires a railroad to give notice to customers that it has a demurrage tariff. Under its tariff, a railroad assesses demurrage on the consignor (the shipper of the goods) for delays in loading cars at origin and on the consignee (the receiver of the goods) for delays in unloading cars and returning them to the rail carrier at destination. Demurrage can also, however, involve warehousemen that accept freight cars for loading and unloading but have no property interest in the freight being transported. Warehousemen are not typically owners of property being shipped (even though, by accepting the cars, they could be in a position to facilitate or impede car supply), but rail carriers may sometimes bill them for demurrage as well. Thus, with multiple participants, it is important to provide clarity and notice for all parties involved and that is what the notice requirement in this information collection does.

Contact Lens Rule

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “Commission”) requests approval for a three-year extension of an existing clearance relating to the disclosure and recordkeeping requirements under the Contact Lens Rule (“Rule”), 16 C.F.R. Part 315. There is no change in the instrument collection. The Rule which was effective in 2004, implemented the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumer Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. 7601-7610). The Act seeks to enable consumers to purchase contact lenses from the seller of their choice. Among other things, the Act requires contact lens prescribers to provide contact lens prescriptions to their patients, and to provide or verify contact lens prescriptions to third parties designated by patients. On June 23, 2020, the Federal Trade Commission announced a Final Rule amendment to enhance and further ensure compliance with the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act's requirement that prescribers automatically provide their patients with a copy of their prescription upon completion of a contact lens fitting. The Final Rule requires prescribers to request that their patients confirm that they have received their prescription, and allows flexibility in the way the prescription and confirmation are provided. Prescribers must maintain proof that they satisfied the confirmation of prescription release requirement for at least three years. Eye doctors were already required by law to provide every patient with a copy of his or her contact lens prescription, allowing patients to comparison shop for lenses. This rule change will help to ensure that eye doctors fulfill their obligations, and will facilitate FTC enforcement of these important requirements. To address concerns about third-party sellers verifying prescriptions by leaving incomplete or incomprehensible automated telephone messages with prescribers, sellers who use automated telephone messages for verification must record the calls and preserve the recordings for three years. This will likely require a minimal amount of capital and other non-labor costs to record the calls and store them electronically.

Abstract

A modern, streamlined and responsive customer experience means: raising government-wide customer experience to the average of the private sector service industry; developing indicators for high-impact Federal programs to monitor progress towards excellent customer experience and mature digital services; and providing the structure (including increasing transparency) and resources to ensure customer experience is a focal point for agency leadership. This proposed information collection activity provides a means to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving customer service delivery as discussed in Section 280 of OMB Circular A-11. As discussed in OMB guidance, agencies should identify their highest-impact customer journeys (using customer volume, annual program cost, and/or knowledge of customer priority as weighting factors) and select touchpoints/transactions within those journeys to collect feedback. These results will be used to improve the delivery of Federal services and programs. It will also provide government-wide data on customer experience that can be displayed on www.performance.gov to help build transparency and accountability of Federal programs to the customers they serve.

Rules Relating to Security-Based Swap Execution and Registration and Regulation of Security-Based Swap Execution Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) has adopted a set of rules (“Regulation SE”) and forms under Section 3D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“SEA”) that creates a regime for the registration and regulation of security-based swap execution facilities (“SBSEFs”) and address other issues relating to security-based swap (“SBS”) execution generally. Key rules within Regulation SE include Rule 803, which establishes a process for SBSEF registration; Rules 804 to 810, which establish procedures for rule and product filings by SBSEFs; Rules 818 to 831, which implement the 14 Core Principles for SBSEFs set forth in Section 3D(d) of the SEA; Rules 832 to 833, which address cross-border matters relating to SBS execution; and Rule 834, which impose requirements addressing conflicts of interest involving SBSEFs and SBS exchanges, as required by Section 765 of the Dodd-Frank Act. In addition to the rules described above, the Commission is also adopting Form SBSEF, which is the form that an entity will use to register with the Commission as an SBSEF; adopting a submission cover sheet, which will be required to accompany filings with the Commission made by SBSEFs for rule and rule amendments and for product listings; adopting amendments to existing Rule 3a1-1 under the SEA to exempt from the SEA definition of “exchange” registered SBSEFs that provide a market place for no securities other than SBS and certain registered clearing agencies; adopting new Rule 15a-12 under the SEA that, while affirming that an SBSEF also would be a broker under the SEA, would exempt a registered SBSEF from certain broker requirements; providing for the sunsetting of an existing exemption from the requirement to register as a clearing agency for entities performing the functions of an SBSEF but that are not yet registered as such; and adopting new rules and amendments to the Commission’s Rules of Practice, to allow persons who are aggrieved by certain determinations by an SBSEF to apply for review by the Commission and to delegate certain regulatory tasks to various persons and offices within the Commission.

Abstract

This collection of information is necessary to enable HHS to garner customer and stakeholder feedback. Information will be collected from our customers and stakeholders from the concept phase to the end of the product life cycle. This will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with HHS communications products. The primary objectives are to determine whether HHS communications products: 1) meet the needs of the audience; 2) use effective mediums for delivering messages to audiences; 3) motivate the expected impact or change; 4) require mid-course corrections; and 5) require change in development and dissemination strategies for future communications. HHS Offices plan to use the data collected under this generic clearance to determine if they are reaching their target audience and meeting audience need. Data collected through the surveys will also be used to inform the development of HHS communication products and identify areas for improvement in content or delivery, and impact measures. If needed, revisions would be intended to increase the success rate of communication products, increasing the return on investment. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.

Form 2100, Schedule 396 – Broadcast Equal Employment Opportunity Program Report

Key Information

Abstract

The Broadcast Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program Report, FCC Form 2100, Schedule 396, is a device that is used to evaluate a licensee's EEO program to ensure that satisfactory efforts are being made to comply with FCC's EEO requirements. FCC Form 2100, Schedule 396 is required to be filed at the time of renewal of license by all AM, FM, TV, Class A and Low Power TV and International stations as well as Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) licensees. The Commission adopted on September 18, 2023, the Report and Order (R&O), Amendment of Part 73 of the Commission’s Rules to Update Television and Class A Television Broadcast Station Rules, and Rules Applicable to All Broadcast Stations, MB Docket No. 22-227, FCC 23-72. The R&O adopted a number of revisions to the Commission’s rules to reorganize and clarify the Commission’s technical licensing, operating, and interference rules for full power and Class A television, including a revision to 47 CFR Section 73.2080. No other changes to OMB Control Number 3060-0113, approved August 2021, and restated below, have been made, with the exception of an added description regarding the revision to Section 73.2080. That description is for illustrative purposes only, and also does not create any new or modified paperwork obligations. The Broadcast Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program Report, FCC Form 2100, Schedule 396 is a device that is used to evaluate a licensee’s EEO program to ensure that satisfactory efforts are being made to comply with the FCC's EEO requirements. FCC Form 2100, Schedule 396 is required to be filed at the time of renewal of license by all AM, FM, TV, Class A and Low Power TV and International stations as well as Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) licensees. If a licensee owns more than one station in the same market that shares employees, it is required to file one Schedule 396 for those stations collectively as a “station employment unit” (SEU). SEUs with five or more full-time employees must complete the identification, certification and discrimination complaint portions of the form as well as attach its two most recent EEO Public File Reports—an annual report summarizing various recruitment activities of the licensee—and a narrative statement describing its employment outreach generally. If a SEU has four or fewer full time employees, it must file only the identification, certification and discrimination complaints portions of the form. The recordkeeping requirements for FCC Form 2100, Schedule 396 are covered under OMB control number 3060-0214.

NMFS Observer Programs' Information That Can Be Gathered Only Through Questions

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension and revision to an existing information collection (OMB Control No. 0648-0593): Observer Programs’ Information That Can Be Gathered Only through Questions. This collection will be revised as follows. First is the expansion of observers to include an additional fishery. The Southeast region will begin sending observers out on Southeast reef fish fishery trips and thus needs to add this fishery to this collection. Second, NOAA is combining the Southeast observer efforts into one program. The third change is the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program (WCGOP) would like to start collecting the names of crew members within their observer logbooks. The data will be recorded on paper, scanned in, and stored according to vessel name. This information will only be accessed if there is an enforcement issue. The final change is also within the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program. They have introduced a new phone app that captains are using to declare upcoming fishing trips and NMFS is using to let them know if they have been selected for observer coverage. Other observer programs are also working on converting to smart phone applications, but they have not yet been implemented. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) deploys fishery observers on United States (U.S.) fishing vessels and to fish processing plants in order to collect biological and economic data and to monitor industry regulatory compliance. Under an OMB approved information collection observers collect information from fishing vessel captains/crew or fish processing plant managers/staff prior to deployment. This information is used to assess whether the vessel or plan satisfies applicable safety requirements.

Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) Annual Performance Report

Key Information

Abstract

The Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) program is authorized under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), Sections 2222-2225. The CLSD program awards competitive grants to advance literacy skills—using evidence-based practices, activities, and interventions, including preliteracy skills, reading, and writing—for children from birth through grade 12, with an emphasis on disadvantaged children, including children living in poverty, English learners, and children with disabilities. Eligible entities include the state education agencies (SEAs) of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Additionally, directed awards are made to four (4) Outlying Areas: American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A portion of funds is also awarded directly to the Bureau of Indian Education. CLSD requires that at least 95% of funds awarded to SEAs be distributed to local education agencies through a subgrant award process. However, the current OMB-approved ED generic grant performance report does not include fields to capture program (subgrantee) demographic data or performance measures to ensure grantees are meeting statutory and regulatory requirements and making progress toward meeting the goals and objectives of their approved projects. The proposed performance report metrics reflect the need to collect pertinent grantee- and subgrantee-level data that could be used to guide future program policy and practice and respond to stakeholder, congressional, and agency inquiries. Thus, the CLSD program staff would better understand whom they serve, programmatic needs, strategies to meet those needs, and how collecting program-level data would benefit the students and support their learning. The new CLSD performance report metrics would (a) collect programmatic data that demonstrate aggregate program-level impact; (b) provide subgrantees’ aggregated data, such as the number of students and professionals served, how funds have been used (e.g., professional learning, curricular materials), and staffing; and (c) provide the CLSD program staff the data to report the performance and outcomes of the CLSD program, at both the grantee and the subgrantee levels. These new measures also would help to add specificity to ED’s monitoring efforts.

Application for Consent to Assignment of Broadcast Station Construction Permit or License or Transfer of Control of Corporation Holding Broadcast Station Construction Permit or Permit or License, FCC

Key Information

Abstract

FCC Form 316 is required when applying for consent for assignment of a broadcast station construction permit or license, or for consent to transfer control of an entity holding a broadcast station construction permit or license where there is little change in the relative interest or disposition of its interests; where transfer of an interest is not a controlling one; where there is no substantial change in the beneficial ownership of the corporation; where the assignment is less than a controlling interest in a partnership; where there is an appointment of an entity qualified to succeed to the interest of a deceased or legally incapacitated individual permittee, licensee or controlling stockholder; and, in the case of LPFM stations, where there is a voluntary transfer of a controlling interest in the licensee or permittee entity. The Commission adopted on September 18, 2023, the Report and Order (R&O), Amendment of Part 73 of the Commission’s Rules to Update Television and Class A Television Broadcast Station Rules, and Rules Applicable to All Broadcast Stations, MB Docket No. 22-227, FCC 23-72. The R&O adopted a number of revisions to the Commission’s rules to reorganize and clarify the Commission’s technical licensing, operating, and interference rules for full power and Class A television, including revisions to 47 CFR Section 73.3540 to update the reference to FCC Form 2100, Schedule 316. The revision to this information collection is made for informational purposes only, and does not create new or modify existing burdens.
