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.
Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, or 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.
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.

| 202202-1093-001 | Application and Reports for Paleontological Permits, 43 CFR 49 | DOI/OS | 2022-08-02 | Active | New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
Application and Reports for Paleontological Permits, 43 CFR 49
Key Information
Abstract
The Paleontological Resources Preservation Act (PRPA) was enacted to preserve paleontological resources for current and future generations because these resources are nonrenewable and are an irreplaceable part of America’s heritage. PRPA requires that implementation be coordinated between the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture and that DOI and USDA issue regulations as appropriate to carry out the law. We (DOI) are proposing regulations to implement the PRPA. The proposed rule would preserve, manage, and protect paleontological resources on BLM, NPS, Reclamation, and FWS lands and ensure that these resources are available for current and future generations to enjoy as part of America’s national heritage. The rule would address the management, collection, and curation of paleontological resources from Federal lands using scientific principles and expertise, including collection in accordance with permits, curation in an approved repository, maintenance of confidentiality of specific locality data, and authorization of penalties for illegal collecting, damaging, otherwise altering or defacing, or sale of paleontological resources. Information collected will allow the DOI bureaus to inventory paleontological resources, implement the permitted collection of fossils from the ground, preserve collected fossils in repositories, track and report the location and condition of paleontological resources, implement the civil penalties provisions with due process considerations, and monitor the results of scientific investigations that involve the use of paleontological resources in both the field and in museum collections. |

| 202203-3064-005 | Market Risk Regulatory Report for Institutions Subject to the Market Risk Capital Rule- FFIEC 102 | FDIC | 2022-08-01 | Active | Extension without change of a currently approved collection
Market Risk Regulatory Report for Institutions Subject to the Market Risk Capital Rule- FFIEC 102
Key Information
Abstract
The Market Risk Regulatory Report for Institutions Subject to the Market Risk Capital Rule (FFIEC 102). is filed quarterly by FDIC-supervised banks and savings associations that are subject to the market risk capital rule. A bank, savings association, bank holding company, savings and loan holding company, or U.S. intermediate holding company must apply the market risk capital rule if the institution has aggregate trading assets and trading liabilities, as reported in the institution’s most recent Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report) or Consolidated Financial Statements for Holding Companies (FR Y-9C), as applicable, equal to (a) 10 percent or more of quarter-end total assets or (b) $1 billion or more. The data collected in the Market Risk Regulatory Report is needed to assess the reasonableness and accuracy of a market risk institution’s calculation of its minimum capital requirements under the revised market risk capital rule and to evaluate a market risk institution’s capital in relation to its risks. Each market risk institution is required to file the FFIEC 102. The FFIEC 102 allows the agencies to better track growth in the more credit-risk related, less liquid, and less actively traded products subject to the market risk rule. |

Transmittal For Unemployment Insurance Materials
Key Information
Abstract
Section 303(a)(6), SSA, requires, as a condition of receiving administrative grants, that state law contain provision for the "making of such reports, in such form and containing such information, as the Secretary of Labor may from time to time require, and compliance with such provisions as the Secretary of Labor may from time to time find necessary to ensure the correctness and verification of such reports." Departmental regulations at 20 CFR 601.3 in part implement this requirement by requiring the submission of "all relevant state materials, such as statutes, executive and administrative orders, legal opinions, rules, regulations, interpretations, court opinions, etc. . . ." Also, the regulations for the UC for Federal Civilian Employees (UCFE) program at 20 CFR 609.1(d)(1) and for the UC for ex-service members (UCX) program at 20 CFR 614.1(d)(1) require submission of certain documents to assure that states are properly administering these programs. The Trade Adjustment Assistance (which includes Trade Readjustment Allowances) program (TAA/TRA) regulations provide similar requirements at 20 CFR 617.52(c)(1). The MA 8-7 is the mechanism for implementing these submittal requirements, the purpose of which is to provide the Secretary with sufficient information to determine if (a) employers in a state qualify for tax credits under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act; (b) the state meets the requirements for obtaining administrative grants under Title III, SSA; and (c) the state is fulfilling its obligations under Federal UC programs. |
