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.

NESHAP for Steel Pickling, HCI Process Facilities and Hydrochloric Acid Regeneration Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCC) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Steel Pickling, HCl Process Facilities and Hydrochloric Acid Regeneration Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCC) were proposed on September 18, 1997; promulgated on June 22, 1999; and amended on both September 19, 2012 and November 19, 2020. This rule applies to all facilities that pickle steel using hydrochloric acid (HCl) or regenerate hydrochloric acid and are either major sources or part of a facility that is a major source. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCC. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

Payment of Premiums (29 CFR part 4007)

Key Information

Abstract

Administrators of PBGC-insured pension plans file with PBGC premium information and premium payments required under 29 USC 1307 and 29 CFR Part 4007, which also requires retention and production of records necessary to support premium filings. The information identifies payers and lets PBGC verify premium computations and perform premium audits. It also helps PBGC project premium income, improve financial projections, estimate its exposure if plans terminate, track movement of participants and assets, determine whether new plans are being created, and update its insured-plan inventory. The retained records facilitate audits.

[CPR] U.S. National Authority for Containment of Poliovirus Data Collection Tools

Key Information

Abstract

In 2018, HHS designated the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the National Authority for Containment of Poliovirus (U.S. NAC) for the United States. The U.S. NAC is located in the Center for Preparedness and Response (CPR). The role of the U.S. NAC is to ensure that the requirements established in the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Action Plan (GAP) III and IV standards are effectively implemented and maintained in poliovirus- essential facilities. Part of this standard includes emergency planning, the implementation of surveillance following an incident, and the reporting of facility-associated poliovirus events to the U.S. NAC. Risk assessments following an incident are a critical component for adequate application of the GAPIII/GAPIV standard and efficient emergency response. The goal of the project is to collect data in the event of a poliovirus breach of containment - as well as to understand the biosafety practices of facilities working on poliovirus and mitigations strategies in place to reduce risks. These goals are in line with World Health Organization's Global Action Plan (GAP) for Poliovirus containment efforts. This information will assist with meeting the goals of the Section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 264) and prevents the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the States or possessions, or from one State or possession into any other State or possession.

DEA Voluntary Wellness Program Healthcare Provider Clearance

Key Information

Abstract

The collection of information via the DEA-315 form is necessary to determine whether DEA employees are medically cleared to safely participate in physical fitness activities under the Voluntary Wellness Program (VWP). This requirement is both a matter of workplace safety and an essential component of the agency’s broader health and wellness initiatives. Pursuant to DEA Personnel Manual 2792, employees must submit a health assessment completed by a licensed medical professional prior to engaging in VWP activities. This process ensures that participation is medically appropriate based on the individual's current health status and minimizes the risk of injury or exacerbation of existing conditions.

Prison Education Program Accreditation Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

The Secretary establishes regulations for Federal Pell Grants (Pell Grants or Pell) for Prison Education Programs (PEPs), to implement the statutory requirements in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, that amend the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), to establish Pell Grant eligibility for a confined or incarcerated individual enrolled in a PEP. These regulations are a result of negotiated rulemaking and added new title IV regulations to especially in Subpart P of 34 CFR Section 668. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 added section 484(t) to the HEA to formally establish Pell Grant eligibility for confined or incarcerated individuals, as long as they are enrolled in a PEP as defined under the HEA. The regulations implement the statutory requirements allowing access to Federal Pell Grants for individuals who are confined or incarcerated when enrolled in programs that meet necessary standards. This collection established the burden under regulations at 34 CFR 668.237 - Accreditation requirements. These regulations prescribe program evaluation at the first two additional Prison Education Program (PEP) locations of a participating institution of higher education to ensure institutional ability to offer and implement the PEP in accordance with the accrediting agency's standards. The regulations require the accrediting agency to conduct a site visit no later than one year after the institution has initiated a PEP at its first two additional locations at correctional facilities. Additionally, the regulations require accrediting agencies to review the methodology used by an institution in determining the PEP meets the same standards for substantially similar non-PEP programs offered at the institution.

Key Information

Abstract

This clearance that will allow the SBIR/STTR programs to collect information from a selected group of Phase I and Phase II applicants—those that have been reviewed by independent experts and that NSF Program Directors are considering recommending for funding—for the purpose of making a funding decision. This information includes, but is not exclusive to, a list of company officers and the corresponding ownership status of each company officer within the startup, whether the startup is associated or affiliated with other companies, whether there exist any relationships (personal, financial, and/or professional) between project personnel, and the locations of all the facilities where significant research will be performed for the proposed project. Such data will enable the NSF Program Directors to evaluate a given company’s business structure, ascertain the level of commitment of the Principal Investigator (PI) and co-PIs to the startup venture, and identify conflicts of interests (if any), as part of the due diligence process that the programs undertake to verify there are no fraudulent or inappropriate business practices prior to recommending the small business for an award.

Fee Agreement for Representation before the Social Security Administration

Key Information

Abstract

The Social Security Act requires individuals who represent a claimant before the agency and want to receive a fee for their services to obtain SSA’s authorization of the fee. One way to obtain the authorization is to submit the fee agreement to the agency either in writing or through using Form SSA-1693, Fee Agreement for Representation before the Social Security Administration. Since representatives currently use fee agreements which vary in length, content, and complexity, submission of a free-form fee agreement may cause delays in SSA’s review time. Therefore, SSA encourages respondents to use Form SSA-1693 to submit the information either using the paper form or the electronically submittable e1693 through SSA’s website. SSA uses the information from the SSA-1693 to review the request and authorize any fee to representatives who seek to charge and collect a fee from a claimant. The respondents are the representatives who help claimants through the application process, and the claimants who they represent. We are submitting this non-substantive change request to comply with the Final Rule for Changes to the Administrative Rules for Claimant Representation and Provisions for Direct Payment to Entities and due to the published increase in the fee cap for representatives.

Key Information

Abstract

FCC Form 2100, Schedule B (formerly FCC Form 302-DTV) is used by licensees and permittees of full power broadcast stations to obtain a new or modified station license and/or to notify the Commission of certain changes in the licensed facilities of those stations. It may be used: (1) To cover an authorized construction permit (or auxiliary antenna), provided that the facilities have been constructed in compliance with the provisions and conditions specified on the construction permit; or (2) To implement modifications to existing licenses as permitted by 47 C.F.R. Sections 73.1675(c) or 73.1690(c). On March 23, 2017, the Commission adopted the Report and Order, Channel Sharing by Full Power and Class A Stations Outside the Broadcast Television Spectrum Incentive Auction Context, GN Docket No. 12-268, MB Docket No. 03-185, MB Docket No. 15-137, FCC 17-29 (“Report and Order”). This document approved channel sharing outside of the incentive auction context between full power, Class A, Low Power Television (LPTV) and TV translator stations. Although there are no changes to the FCC Form 2100, Schedule B itself, there are changes to the substance, burden hours, and costs as described herein. 47 C.F.R. section 73.3800 allows full power television stations to channel share with other full power stations, Class A, LPTV and TV translator stations outside of the incentive auction context. Full power stations file FCC Form 2100, Schedule B in order to complete the licensing of their shared channel.

Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) Clauses 852.237–70, Indemnification and Medical Liability Insurance; 852.228–71, Indemnification and Insurance

Key Information

Abstract

VAAR clause 852.237–70, Indemnification and Medical Liability Insurance, is used in lieu of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.237–7, Indemnification and Medical Liability Insurance, in solicitations and contracts for the acquisition of nonpersonal health care services. It requires the apparent successful bidder/offeror, upon the request of the contracting officer, prior to contract award, to furnish evidence of insurability of the offeror and/or all health-care providers who will perform under the contract. In addition, the clause requires the contractor, prior to commencement of services under the contract, to provide Certificates of Insurance or insurance policies evidencing that the firm possesses the types and amounts of insurance required by the solicitation. The information is required in order to protect VA by ensuring that the firm to which award may be made and the individuals who may provide health care services under the contract are insurable and that, following award, the contractor and its employees will continue to possess the types and amounts of insurance required by the solicitation. It helps ensure that VA will not be held liable for any negligent acts of the contractor or its employees and ensures that VA and VA beneficiaries are protected by adequate insurance coverage. VAAR clause 852.228–71, Indemnification and Insurance, is used in solicitations for vehicle or aircraft services. It requires the apparent successful bidder/offeror, prior to contract award, to furnish evidence that the firm possesses the types and amounts of insurance required by the solicitation. This evidence is in the form of a certificate from the firm’s insurance company. The information is required to protect VA by ensuring that the firm to which award will be made possesses the types and amounts of insurance required by the solicitation. It helps ensure that VA will not be held liable for any negligent acts of the contractor and ensures that VA beneficiaries and the public are protected by adequate insurance coverage. VA uses the information to determine whether additional contract terms and conditions are necessary. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published at 90 FR 39264, August 14, 2025.

Key Information

Abstract

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is requesting review and approval of a revision to an existing data collection related to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-169) (the Act). Sections 1193 and 1194 of the Act requires drug manufacturers to submit data to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, in a form and manner specified by the Secretary; information on the non-Federal average manufacturer price; and information that the Secretary requires to carry out the negotiation or renegotiation process. The Act establishes a Drug Price Negotiation Program for certain selected drugs covered under Medicare Part B and Part D. The Secretary is required to negotiate maximum fair prices (MFPs) with drug manufacturers for 15 Part B and Part D drugs in 2028, 20 Part B and Part D drugs for 2029 and each following year. The Secretary is required to renegotiate MFPs with drug manufacturers of selected drugs that are eligible and selected for renegotiation for 2028 and each following year. Additionally, this information collection request describes the information collection that may occur if the Primary Manufacturer chooses to develop and submit a written counteroffer to CMS’ written initial offer for initial negotiation or renegotiation of the MFP, as applicable to a selected drug, during initial price applicability year 2028 under the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program (under the authority in sections 11001 and 11002 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-169), codified in sections 1191 through 1198 of the Social Security Act). Both forms will be used for negotiation and renegotiation of selected drugs for initial price applicability year 2028.

[NIOSH] Assessing Respirator Perceptions, Experiences, and Maintenance

Key Information

Abstract

The goal of this generic information collection request is to enable CDC/NIOSH to support the effective use of respiratory protection by providing information that may be used to improve the design and implementation of employer-administered programs. Using the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) respiratory protection program (RPP) requirements as the foundational framework, this research will assess current perceptions in respirator use as well as gaps in respirator use, maintenance, and implementation. Data collection efforts will seek to 1) determine the perceived knowledge, skills, and uses of respirators among those who wear a respirator as a part of their job and/or those who oversee respirator use, and 2) identify patterns in RPPs and other health and safety programs such as practices and directives that are included or missing to inform new content for improved respirator training, management, and effective, trusted use.

Generic Clearance for the Collection of Certain Information on Immigration Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This generic clearance for the new collection of certain information in immigration forms, which impacts nine information collections, was initiated to comply with E.O. 14161, Protecting the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats, Section 2, which directs implementation of uniform vetting standards and necessitates the collection of all information necessary for a rigorous vetting and screening of all grounds of inadmissibility or bases for the denial of immigration-related benefits. See 90 FR 8451 (Jan. 20, 2025). Execution of the E.O. requires USCIS to collect standard data on immigration forms and/or systems to enable DHS to assess an alien’s eligibility to travel to or be admitted to the United States or to receive an immigration-related benefit from USCIS. The standard data to be collected from certain populations of individuals on applications for immigration-related benefits is necessary for the enhanced identity verification, vetting standards, and national security screening and inspection conducted by USCIS and required under the E.O. This data collection also is used to validate an applicant’s identity and to help determine whether such grant of a benefit poses a security or public-safety threat to the United States. There were 24 data elements identified that would constitute a new baseline threshold of data to be collected for identity verification and national security vetting. USCIS is conducting the generic clearance to obtain OMB approval of the 24 new data elements to be included on the nine impacted forms, where the information is not already collected. The impacted USCIS Forms include: N-400, I-131, I-192, I-485, I-589, I-590, I-730, I-751, and I-829.

Voluntary Agencies Matching Grant Program Data Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

The Voluntary Agencies Matching Grant (MG) Program Data Reporting was approved by OMB in February, 2024. Under this data collection, resettlement agencies submit MG Program data to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Upon OMB approval of the collection, the Refugee Arrivals Data System (RADS) team within ORR began building the new reporting module in ORR’s database. The existing Alternative Identifier (Alt ID) process involves grantees creating Alt IDs when Alien Numbers could not be found. This manual process has caused duplications and problems specifically when individuals move from state to state. To address these issues, the process for requesting Alt IDs through the RADS has been updated. The changes in the MG instructions document reflect the updated process for requesting Alt IDs through the RADS, as reflected in DCL 22-24, which is in the final stages of approval and publication.

[OS] Emergency Epidemic Investigation Data Collections

Key Information

Abstract

The EEI Generic ICR is specifically designed to support CDC mission-critical functions by allowing CDC to deploy to the field to conduct Emergency Epidemic Investigations (EEIs) at the request of, and under the public health authority of, external partners seeking support for a rapid response to urgent public health problems. Recent investigation that have benefited from this EEI Generic ICR included the early response to the COVID 19 Pandemic, Monkeypox outbreak, and E-cigarette or Vaping Use-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI), among other high profile acute public health events. In these situations, insufficient information is available to allow for development of data collection instruments before the response team travels to the field. Data collection instruments and methods must be rapidly created and implemented, usually while investigators are in the field, to direct appropriate public health action. Often specific questions will change or new questions will evolve during the course of the investigation as new information is revealed. While most EEIs involve 2 to 3 weeks of data collection, data collections might take longer. Data collection for investigations conducted under this generic will not exceed 90 days. If data collection is required for a longer period of time, a new request will be submitted to OMB explaining the circumstances for the extended data collection and providing the forms that will be used for that collection (by this point, the content and scope of the inquiry should be clearer). This Extension ICR is submitted for renewal of the overarching Generic ICR pacakge for an additional three years. There is no anticipated change to the burden hours.
