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.

Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation ("CALM") Act; 73.682(e) and 76.607(a)

Key Information

Abstract

On December 13, 2011, the FCC released a Report & Order ("R&O"), FCC 11-182, adopting rules to implement the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation ("CALM") Act. Among other things, the CALM Act directs the Commission to incorporate into its rules by reference and make mandatory a technical standard developed by an industry standard-setting body that is designed to prevent television commercial advertisements from being transmitted at louder volumes than the program material they accompany. Specifically, the CALM Act requires the Commission to incorporate by reference the Advanced Television Systems Committee ("ATSC") A/85 Recommended Practice ("ATSC A/85 RP") and make it mandatory "insofar as such recommended practice concerns the transmission of commercial advertisements by a television broadcast station, cable operator, or other multichannel video programming distributor." As mandated by the statute, the rules will apply to TV broadcasters, cable operators and other multichannel video programming distributors ("MVPDs").

AM Measurement Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) is revising this Information Collection to reflect the FCC’s September 22, 2017, adoption of the Third Report and Order in MB Docket No. 13-249, FCC 17-119, In the Matter of Revitalization of AM Radio Service (AMR Third R&O). In the 2015 AM revitalization proceeding, the FCC proposed streamlining certain technical requirements to assist AM broadcasters in providing radio service to consumers. For example, many AM stations must directionalize their signals during some or all of the broadcast day in order to avoid interference with other AM stations. Maintaining a directional signal pattern can be technically complex, time-consuming, and expensive. Such stations are subject to a variety of rules requiring signal strength measurements and other engineering analyses to ensure compliance with their authorizations. In the AMR Third R&O, the FCC eliminated, clarified, or eased several of the rules governing AM stations using directional antenna arrays, which comprise almost 40 percent of all AM stations. First, the FCC relaxed the rule for partial proofs of performance of certain directional AM antenna systems, by reducing the number of field strength measurements required. Second, the FCC modified several rules pertaining to AM stations that use Method of Moments (MoM) models of directional array performance. MoM modeling allows broadcasters to verify antenna system performance through computer modeling, as opposed to sending engineers in the field to take field strength measurements. Thus, a proof using a MoM model is less expensive than taking field strength measurements of an AM station’s directional pattern.

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.

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.

Accident Recordkeeping Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for an extension of a previously approved ICR where the collection of information is mandatory. 49 CFR 390.15 requires interstate motor carriers to maintain for recordkeeping, an "Accident Register" consisting of all accidents (interstate and intrastate) involving their commercial motor vehicles. The frequency of the collection of information is when an accident occurs. This extension request decreases FMCSA’s burden hours estimate based on a decrease in the number of reportable crashes in 2020-2022. Carriers must make all these records available to authorized representatives or special agents of FMCSA upon request. These records are used by the FMCSA to assess the effectiveness of motor carriers' safety management controls. When conducting a compliance review of a motor carrier at its place of business, FMCSA investigators may examine the motor carrier’s accident register. This information can be valuable in assessing the safety performance of the motor carrier. For instance, it may reveal accidents that, for various reasons, were not reported to the FMCSA by the State, and thus are not part of FMCSA’s record of the motor carrier’s accident history. The information may corroborate other evidence or assist the FMCSA investigator in establishing a violation of a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation. For example, data entered in the Accident Register may conflict with information contained in other documents, such as the record of duty status, or logbook, of a CMV driver, and point to illegal falsification of the RODS by the driver, the motor carrier, or both. Pursuant to section 390.15(b)(1), a motor carrier must obtain, at a minimum, the following information about each CMV accident for 3 years from the date of the accident: (i) date of accident, (ii) city or town in which or most near where the accident occurred and the State where the accident occurred, (iii) driver name, (iv) number of injuries, (v) number of fatalities, and (vi) whether hazardous materials, other than fuel spilled from the fuel tanks of the motor vehicle, were released. In addition, section 390.15(b)(2) requires that “copies of all accident reports required by State or other governmental entities or insurers” be included in the Accident Register. The FMCSA does not prescribe a specific form for Accident Register information. An “entry” on the Accident Register is defined for purposes of this estimate as the entry of all the information about a single accident that is required by Section 390.15.

U.S.-Canada Albacore Treaty Reporting System

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for an extension of a current information collection. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), West Coast Region (WCR), manages the United States (U.S.) - Canada Albacore Tuna Treaty of 1981 (Treaty). Owners of vessels that fish from U.S. West Coast ports for albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) are required to notify the NMFS WCR of their desire to be on the list of vessels provided to Canada each year indicating vessels eligible to fish for albacore tuna in waters under the jurisdiction of Canada. Additionally, vessel operators are required to report in advance their intention to fish in Canadian waters prior to crossing the maritime border as well as to mark their fishing vessels to facilitate enforcement of the effort limits under the Treaty. Vessel operators are also required to maintain and submit a logbook of all catch and fishing effort. The regulations implementing the reporting and vessel marking requirements under the Treaty are at 50 CFR part 300.172–300.176. If a vessel enters into Canadian waters without adhering to these regulations, they will be in violation of the treaty and Canadian enforcement may issue a fine or a warning. The estimated burden below includes hours to complete the logbook requirement, although it is assumed that most if not all of the respondents already complete the required logbook under the mandatory West Coast Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (HMS FMP), OMB Control No. 0648–0223. Duplicate reporting under the Treaty and HMS FMP is not required. Most years, there will be much less fishing (and thus less reporting) under the Treaty than the level on which the estimate is based.

Inspection, Repair and Maintenance

Key Information

Abstract

It is generally recognized that there is a relationship between inspection, repair, and maintenance practices for CMVs and defect-related CMV accidents. CMVs are frequently operated in excess of 100,000 miles annually. Safety professionals, enforcement officials and personnel, and employees in the trucking and motorcoach industries recognize that documenting CMV inspection, repair, and maintenance is an important activity to the furtherance of highway safety. These records are also critically important in determining if a motor carrier's maintenance practices were causal factors in an accident. The purpose of the collection is to enable FMCSA and State enforcement personnel to evaluate a motor carrier's CMV maintenance program by the documentation of CMV inspection, repair, and maintenance. FMCSA will also be able to check the current level of regulatory compliance of the carrier at any point in its maintenance schedule or program. The information collection ensures that motor carriers have adequate records to document the inspection, repair, and maintenance of their CMVs, and to ensure that adequate measures are taken to keep their CMVs in safe and proper operating condition at all times. Compliance with the inspection, repair, and maintenance regulations helps to reduce the likelihood of accidents attributable, in whole or in part, to the mechanical condition of the CMV. FMCSA does not require inspection, repair and maintenance information to be submitted to the agency. The information collection is mandatory. Motor carriers and IEPs are required to maintain the equipment information at their facilities and to make the information available if requested during a compliance review or investigation. This information collection involves only one reporting requirement that has no confidentiality implications. All other components of this information collection are recordkeeping requirements. The recordkeeping requirements are minimal and there are no prescribed forms for carriers to use to meet these requirements. For some required records, motor carriers may either maintain them or cause a third party to do so. The regulations also permit the motor carrier to establish its own systematic CMV maintenance program on either a mileage or time basis. The information is used by the FMCSA and State officials during compliance and enforcement activities to verify that a motor carrier (and, for IME, an IEP) has established an inspection, repair, and maintenance program for its equipment which meets the standards in part 396. During these activities, FMCSA and State officials and representatives examine the information to determine whether the motor carrier systematically inspects, repairs, and maintains all CMVs subject to its control. The systematic program must include routine inspections and maintenance. The program must also include reports of vehicle defects by drivers, thorough inspections at least once per year by qualified individuals, and performance of work on brakes by qualified employees.

TANF Expenditure Report – ACF 196R

Key Information

Abstract

vForm ACF-196R is used by states administering the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program to report on quarterly expenditure data and to request quarterly grant funds from the federal awarding agency. Failure to collect the data would seriously compromise the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) and the Administration for Children and Families’ (ACF) ability to monitor TANF expenditures and ensure compliance with statutory requirements found at 42 U.S.C. 411(a)(3). These data are also needed to estimate outlays and to prepare reports and budget submissions for Congress. Edits have been made to the instructions to update references to lapsed timeframes, to add demonstrative tables that aid in a recipient’s comprehension of reporting requirements, incorporate minor edits to the instructions, and to adjust formatting to improve presentation.

National Flight Data Center Web Portal

Key Information

Abstract

NFDC Web Portal forms are used to collect aeronautical information, detailing the physical description and operational status of components of the National Airspace System (NAS). The information is distributed via the National Flight Data Digest (NFDD), a daily electronic (.pdf) publication available at no charge to the general public, government, military, and private producers of aeronautical publications. (https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/aero_data/NFDD/). The information is used to update government, military, and private aeronautical database, charts, publications, flight management systems, and in-flight tracking products. The information collected includes, but is not limited to, data regarding airport associated city, CTAF, UNICOM, facility use, runway lighting, airport sketches and diagrams, proposed aircraft call signs, and general remarks. Reporting of this information in mandatory, i.e. airport operators are required to submit any changes to their facilities that might appear on aeronautical charts or publications. This is considered to be reporting of information vs. record keeping or disclosure. Information is collected on a continual basis.
