Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
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, modify, or discontinue 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.

Weather and Society Survey and Using Quick Response Surveys to Build a Public Perception and Response Database
Key Information
Abstract
In alignment with the Weather Forecasting and Innovation Act of 2017 (Pub. L. 115-25), two data collections are proposed under this request. There are no other collections for which these can be merged. The first proposed information collection request is sponsored by DOC/NOAA/National Weather Service (NWS)/Office of Science and Technology Integration (OSTI). Currently, NOAA lacks data and data collection instruments that articulate and explicate how individuals receive, interpret, and respond to NOAA information, forecasts, and warnings for severe, winter, and tropical weather hazards. Furthermore, NOAA lacks this type of data longitudinally (i.e., collected over time). The second proposed collection is sponsored through NOAA's FY2021 Weather Program Office's Social Science Program, and addresses the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBES) component of meeting NOAA's Research and Development (R&D) Vision Areas (2020-2026) to integrate SBES into products, tools, and services that improve weather and air quality forecasting and societal outcomes. |

Small Dollar Loan Program
Key Information
Abstract
The Small Dollar Loan Program was authorized by Title XII – Improving Access to Mainstream Financial Institutions Act of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-203), which amended The Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 1994 to include the Small Dollar Loan Program (12 U.S.C. § 4719). Through the Small Dollar Loan Program, the CDFI Fund provides grants for loan loss reserves and technical assistance to enable award recipients to establish and maintain small dollar loan programs to address the issues of expanding consumer access to mainstream financial institutions and providing alternatives to high-cost small dollar loans. The Small Dollar Loan Program is also intended to enable award recipients to help unbanked and underbanked populations build credit, access affordable capital, and allow greater access into the mainstream financial system. In December 2019, the President signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-93), which appropriated $5 million of the CDFI Fund’s total $262 million appropriations. An additional $8.5 million was appropriated for the Small Dollar Loan Program with enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260), which was signed into law December 2020 and provided the CDFI Fund with total appropriations of $270 million. Funds from these two appropriations measures were used to launch and administer the inaugural round of the Small Dollar Loan Program by September 30, 2021. |
