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.

Runaway and Homeless Youth Homeless Management Information System (RHY-HMIS)

Key Information

Abstract

The Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) program serves as the national leader for the provision of shelter and supportive services to youth experiencing homelessness. The RHY program administers grants to public and private organizations to establish and operate youth emergency shelters and transitional living programs. These grant recipients are located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. The Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA), as reauthorized by the Reconnecting Homeless Youth Act of 2008 (P.L.110-378 ) through FY 2013 and more recently reauthorized by the Juvenile Justice Reform Act through FY 2019, mandates that Runaway and Homeless Youth programs provide statistical records profiling the youth and family members whom it serves and also mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report regularly to Congress on the status of RHY-funded programs serving runaway and homeless youth. Further, these requirements include maintenance of client statistical records and submission of annual program reports regarding the characteristics of the youth and families served and the services provided to them. The October 2008 reauthorization of the Act and the reauthorization through FY 2019, maintained the longstanding requirements, as described in the legislation. This information collection request is for the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) to continue to collect the data standards to meet these legislative requirements. All RHY funded organizations are required to collect and submit their statistical information/data through a larger system of data standards housed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). FYSB’s data standards within that system are referred to as the Runaway and Homeless Youth Homeless Management Information System (RHY-HMIS). RHY grant recipients are required to enter their RHY-HMIS data through their local HUD’s Continuums of Care (CoC) HMIS. Quarterly to meet the legislative requirements, RHY grant recipients work with their HMIS Leads to extract their data for uploading to FYSB. See sections A3 and A4 for more information about the partnership with HUD and its HMIS. ACF has implemented changes to remove sexual orientation from the RHY data standards in current approved information collection requests to comply with the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO).

Guidance for Reagents for Detection of Specific Novel Influenza A Viruses

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection was established as a special control for the class II device type, Novel Influenza A Reagents. This classification results from the review of a request from a device sponsor (CDC) for a diagnostic test intended to diagnose influenza subtype H5 (Asian lineage), commonly known as avian flu. This classification permits the legal distribution of this device, and the information collection addressed here plays a significant role in providing a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of this device and of similar future devices. Specifically, the information collection asks sponsors to obtain and analyze data postmarket to ensure the continued reliability of the device, given the propensity of influenza viruses to mutate and the potential for changes in disease prevalence. This involves collecting data on the clinical performance of the device under new prevalence conditions if there is a change in prevalence of influenza caused by the specific novel virus that the device is intended to detect, as compared to the prevalence of this virus when the clinical studies described in the 510(k) were conducted. The information collection described above is a measure that FDA determined to be necessary to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of Novel Influenza A Reagents.

Lease and Interchange of Vehicles

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for approval for the renewal of the currently approved information collection request. There is a 26,154 hour decrease in the estimated annual burden hours that results primarily from a reduced estimate of the affected population of property-carrying motor carriers and changes in calculation methods. 'The purpose of this ICR renewal is to ensure that truck and bus carriers are identified (and in some cases protected) when they agree to lease their equipment and drivers to other carriers. This ICR also ensures that FMCSA, our State partners, and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are better able to identify the responsible motor carrier and therefore correctly assign regulatory violations to the appropriate carrier during inspections, investigations, compliance reviews, and crash studies. These regulations also ensure that the government and members of the public can determine who is responsible for a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). The leases and other agreements are developed and held by the lessor (e.g., those granting use of equipment) and lessee (e.g., party acquiring equipment). FMCSA generally collects no information with this ICR. These recordkeeping requirements vary in frequency, are mandatory and consistent with the provisions of the Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1984 for for-hire and private passenger carriers that operate CMVs, in order to enable the general public and investigators to identify the passenger carrier responsible for safety. Also, under 49 U.S.C. 14102(a). FMCSA “may require a motor carrier providing for-hire transportation that uses motor vehicles not owned by it to transport property under an arrangement with another party to— (1) make the arrangement in writing signed by the parties specifying its duration and the compensation to be paid by the motor carrier; (2) carry a copy of the arrangement in each motor vehicle to which it applies during the period the arrangement is in effect; (3) inspect the motor vehicles and obtain liability and cargo insurance on them; and (4) have control of and be responsible for operating those motor vehicles in compliance with requirements prescribed by the Secretary on safety of operations and equipment, and with other applicable law as if the motor vehicles were owned by the motor carrier.” There are 5 ICS as follows: IC1: Property-Carrying CMVs Lease Negotiation; IC2: Property-Carrying CMVs Preparing and Signing Written Lease Document; IC3: Passenger-Carrying CMVs One-Time Lease Negotiation; IC4: Passenger-Carrying CMVs Lease Documentation; and IC5: Passenger-Carrying CMVs Lease Copying.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Alaska Interagency Electronic Reporting System (IERS)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, requests revision of this currently approved information collection. This information collection is revised due to the associated rule (RIN 0648-BL49) that changes the time limit for recording a management program in the catcher/processor electronic logbook (eLog). NMFS proposes regulations to revise and standardize the time limit for assigning a management program to each haul for trawl catcher/processors (C/Ps) participating in the groundfish fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) management areas. This rule is necessary to improve consistency for when trawl C/Ps are required to assign a specific management program to a haul and would allow additional time for vessel operators participating in Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program and non-CDQ fisheries on the same trip to determine which management program to assign to a haul. This revision does not change the respondents, responses, burden hours, or costs for the catcher/processor eLog because the directly regulated entities already complete this logbook, and the current burden estimate allows for differences in the time and cost needed to complete and submit the logbook.
