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.

Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking

Key Information

Abstract

The SHED is an ad hoc voluntary survey covering topics such as individuals’ overall financial well-being, employment experiences, income and ability to pay bills, economic preparedness, banking and access to credit, housing and living arrangement decisions, education and human capital, student loans, and retirement planning. The overall content of the SHED depends on changing economic, regulatory, or legislative developments as well as changes in the financial services industry. The Board uses the SHED to monitor usage of emerging financial products and understand how macroeconomic conditions are affecting households.

Requirements for Patent Applications Containing Nucleotide Sequence and/or Amino Acid Sequence Disclosures

Key Information

Abstract

Patent applications that contain nucleotide and/or amino acid sequence disclosures falling within the definitions of 37 CFR 1.831 (for applications filed on or after July 1, 2022) or 37 CFR 1.821(a) (for applications filed on or before June 30, 2022) must include, as a separate part of the application disclosure, a copy of the sequence listing in accordance with the requirements in 37 CFR 1.831-1.835 or 37 CFR 1.821-1.825, respectively. Applicants may submit sequence listings for both U.S. and international patent applications. For more information concerning the submission of sequence listings in international applications, see the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Rules 5.2 and 13ter, Annex C of the PCT Administrative Instructions, and section 1848 of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) (9th ed., Rev. 01.2024, November 2024). This information collection covers the submission of the sequence listing information itself. Information pertaining to the initial filing of U.S. patent applications is collected under OMB Control Number 0651-0032, and information pertaining to the initial filing of international applications is collected under OMB Control Number 0651-0021. Sequence listings for applications having a filing date of on or after July 1, 2022, must be submitted in XML format in accordance with 37 CFR 1.831-1.835. The submission of a sequence listing in XML format must be made either electronically via the USPTO patent electronic filing system (currently Patent Center) as an XML file not exceeding 100MB without file compression, or as an XML file on a read-only optical disc in accordance with 37 CFR 1.834(b)(2). Sequence listings may still be filed in applications having a filing date of on or before June 30, 2022, as amendments that meet the requirements of 37 CFR 1.825. Sequence listings submitted as amendments in accordance with 37 CFR 1.825 must be submitted as: • An ASCII plain text file via Patent Center or on a read-only optical disc; • A PDF file via Patent Center; or • Physical sheets of paper. When an amendment that meets the requirements of 37 CFR 1.825 is submitted as a PDF or on physical sheets of paper in an application having a filing date of on or before June 30, 2022, the applicant may also need to submit a new or substitute computer readable form (CRF) copy of the sequence listing under 37 CFR 1.821(e) and 1.824, with the amendment incorporated therein, if necessary, under 37 CFR 1.825(a)(5)(ii) or (b)(6)(ii). Applicants may submit the CRF copy via Patent Center or on a read-only optical disc as provided in 37 CFR 1.824(b). When a new or substitute CRF copy is necessary, applicants must submit a statement indicating that the CRF copy of the sequence listing is identical to the PDF or paper copy. This information collection also accounts for these CRF copy and statement requirements.

Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children with Disabilities

Key Information

Abstract

The Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) with Disabilities information collection contains one instrument that allows the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to provide individualized care to children identified as having a disability. The collection was last approved by OMB on June 11, 2025 and the current expiration date is June 30, 2028. ORR is proposing revisions to the Individualized Section 504 Service Plan (Form S-25). This plan is required by the Lucas R. Disabilities Settlement Agreement (Case No. 2:18-CV-05741 DMG PLA). The form is completed by care providers alongside a qualified assessment team who collaboratively develop an individualized plan for the child. In addition, care providers must continuously update this form to reflect any changes in the service plan and to provide updates on the progress of the home study and post-release services planning.

Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau Administrative Activities

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to perform UAC Bureau-related administrative activities, such as facilitating stakeholder visits to care provider facilities; obtaining consent from children to share their case file information; and processing requests and waivers for the hiring of key and non-key personnel at care provider facilities. This request is for revisions to five existing forms in this collection and to remove seven forms, which will be transferred under new Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control numbers (separate requests will be submitted for the new control numbers). Details about the changes are described in section A15 of Supporting Statement A.

2026 Census Test - Group Quarters Advance Contact

Key Information

Abstract

During the years preceding the 2030 Census, the Census Bureau will pursue its commitment to developing a well-managed, cost-effective, high quality decennial census. The Census Bureau will streamline data collection processes and implement new and improved methods to count the U.S. population for the 2030 Census. This includes improved methods for counting individuals residing in Group Quarters (GQs), (i.e. college/university student housing, residential treatment centers, nursing/skilled-nursing facilities and assistant living facilities, group homes, correctional facilities, hospitals, and military barracks). GQ administrators play a vital role in data collection during Group Quarters Advance Contact (GQAC). They provide critical updates about the facility and residents to prepare for subsequent Group Quarters Enumeration (GQE) operation. The 2026 Census Test will enable the Census Bureau to contact the GQ administrators by phone or in person to collect information about the GQs such as verifying/updating the GQ name, address, GQ type, contact person’s name and phone number, and maximum population. In addition, the Census Bureau needs to collect their preferred enumeration method for their residents, the expected population count for the GQ on Census Day, April 1, 2026, and depending on the enumeration method selected, select the date and time they would like to schedule an appointment.

Vehicle Loan Interest

Key Information

Abstract

IRS Section 6050AA requires information reporting with respect to interest received on a specified passenger vehicle loan. Recipients of this interest are required to file an information return to the IRS and furnish a statement to individuals who pay or accrue the interest during a calendar year. The reporting requirements of section 6050AA allow the IRS to verify recipients’ compliance with the information reporting rules and to verify that individuals deduct the proper amount of interest on their tax return.Emergency Justfication:The Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are requesting a new OMB Control Number 1545-NEW, Vehicle Loan Interest Statement, under emergency procedures in connection with provisions of section 70203 of Public Law 119-21, 139 Stat. 72, 176 (July 4, 2025), commonly known as the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Section 163(h)(4) allows a deduction for qualified passenger vehicle loan interest. Section 6050AA requires information reporting with respect to interest received on a specified passenger vehicle loan. Recipients of this interest are required to file an information return to the IRS and furnish a statement to individuals who pay or accrue the interest during a calendar year. For interest received on a specified passenger vehicle loan in 2025, the information return must be filed on or before February 28, 2026 (March 31, 2026, if filed electronically), and the written statement must be furnished on or before January 31, 2026. Notice 2025-57 sets forth that the recipient of such interest will be deemed to have satisfied the reporting obligations under §6050AA for interest received on a specified passenger vehicle loan in 2025 if the recipient makes a statement available to the individual indicating the total amount of interest received in calendar year 2025 on a specified passenger vehicle loan. If the interest recipient satisfies this requirement, the IRS will not impose penalties under §§6721 and 6722 for a failure to file information returns and furnish payee statements under §6050AA with respect to interest received in 2025. The OBBBA was signed into law on July 4, 2025, and §163(h)(4), as amended, and new §6050AA apply to indebtedness incurred after December 31, 2024. Accordingly, recipients of interest have an immediate need for guidance about their information reporting obligations. The IRS needs to publish Notice 2025-57 as soon as possible, so that recipients of specified passenger vehicle loan interest can make the necessary changes to their systems to comply with their new reporting responsibilities under §6050AA for interest received in 2025. In addition, individuals need information on how much interest they paid or accrued in 2025 in order to claim the deduction allowable under §163(h)(4) on their individual income tax returns for taxable year 2025. Following normal Paperwork Reduction Act clearance procedures would thus result in harm to recipients of specified passenger vehicle loan interest who would be unable to timely make the necessary changes to their systems to comply with their new reporting responsibilities for interest received in 2025. Therefore, due to the extraordinary circumstances and statutory deadlines for implementing §6050AA, the Treasury and IRS request emergency processing of this information collection request by October 21, 2025 and approval for 180 days. Given the inability to seek public comment during such a short timeframe, IRS also respectfully requests a waiver from the requirement to publish a notice in the Federal Register seeking public comment during the period of Office of Management and Budget review. However, public comment will be solicited in conjunction with the subsequent extension of the approval to collect this information on the new Vehicle Loan Interest Statement which is being developed for this purpose in future years. The Treasury Department consulted with multiple stakeholder groups, including the National Automobile Dealers Association and the American Financial Services Association, in order to understand their operations so as to be able to minimize the burden of the collection of information. The Treasury Department also consulted with other interested agencies, including NHTSA, DOT, and IRS, in order to help streamline the process and make it easier for affected parties to comply with their reporting obligations.

Patent Review and Derivation Proceedings

Key Information

Abstract

The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, which was enacted into law on September 16, 2011, provided for many changes to the procedures of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB” or “Board,” formerly the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences) procedures. These changes included the introduction of inter partes review, post-grant review, derivation proceedings, and the transitional program for covered business method patents. Under these administrative trial proceedings, third parties may file a petition with the PTAB challenging the validity of issued patents, with each proceeding having different requirements regarding timing restrictions, grounds for challenging validity, and who may request review. Inter partes review is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent only on a ground that could be raised under §§ 102 or 103, and only on the basis of prior art consisting of patents or printed publications. Post grant review is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent on any ground that could be raised under § 282(b)(2) or (3). A derivation proceeding is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to determine whether (1) an inventor named in an earlier application derived the claimed invention from an inventor named in the petitioner’s application, and (2) the earlier application claiming such invention was filed without authorization. The transitional program for covered business method patents is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a covered business method patent. The covered business method program expired on September 16, 2020 and the Board no longer accepts new petitions related to this program, but continues to accept papers in previously-instituted proceedings. This information collection covers information submitted by the public to petition the Board to initiate an inter partes review, post-grant review, derivation proceeding, and the transitional program for covered business method patents, as well as any responses to such petitions, and the filing of any motions, replies, oppositions, and other actions, after a review/proceeding has been instituted.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2026 Amendment 2

Key Information

Abstract

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in various subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, U.S. history, and civics. The National Assessment of Educational Progress Authorization Act (Pub. L. 107–279, title III, section 303) requires the assessment to collect data on specified student groups and characteristics, including information organized by race/ethnicity, sex, socio-economic status, disability, and limited English proficiency. It requires fair and accurate presentation of achievement data and permits the collection of background, noncognitive, or descriptive information that is related to academic achievement and aids in fair reporting of results. The intent of the law is to provide representative sample data on student achievement for the nation, the states, and subpopulations of students and to monitor progress over time. NAEP consists of two assessment programs: the NAEP long-term trend (LTT) assessment and the main NAEP assessment. The LTT assessments are given at the national level only and are administered to students at ages 9, 13, and 17 in a manner that is very different from that used for the main NAEP assessments. LTT reports mathematics and reading results that present trend data since the 1970s. In addition to the operational assessments, NAEP uses two other kinds of assessment activities: pilot assessments and special studies. Pilot assessments test items and procedures for future administrations of NAEP, while special studies (e.g., the Middle School Transcript Study (MSTS), and the High School Transcript Study (HSTS)) are opportunities for NAEP to investigate particular aspects of the assessment without impacting the reporting of the NAEP results.  This request is a second Amendment to the initially approved NAEP 2026 Clearance Package (OMB# 1850-0928 v.36) to conduct NAEP in 2026, specifically: (1) Main NAEP operational assessments will include for grades 4 and 8 (first administration of the new frameworks for reading and mathematics), grade 8 (civics and U.S. history); in Puerto Rico, grades 4 and 8 mathematics will be the only subject assessed and will include the new framework; (2) Pilot testing in grades 4, 8, and 12 (reading and mathematics); in Puerto Rico, grades 4 and 8 mathematics will be the only subject assessed. All documents in this package are the finalized materials to be used for the data collection in early 2026. Specifically, this Amendment includes the following updates: 1. Appendix D: updates to the eNAEP Download Center and the preassessment guides, 2. Appendices J1, J2, J3, J-S: editorial updates to several survey questionnaire items, 3. Appendix C: the sampling memo, and 4. Appendix I: all finalized AMS screens that will be accessed and used by school staff for the NAEP assessment. As of April 2025, NCES’s assurances of confidentiality protections for NAEP 2026 have changed due to recent staffing changes at the Department of Education. NCES has removed the Foundations of Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018, Title III, Part B, Confidential Information Protection (‘‘CIPSEA’’) as a confidentiality assurance. However, confidentiality assurances under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA) remain in effect.

Intermittent Survey of Businesses

Key Information

Abstract

The survey data are used to gather information to enable the Federal Reserve System (System) to carry out its policy and operational responsibilities. Under the guidance of the Board, Reserve Banks survey business contacts as economic developments warrant. Usually, these voluntary surveys are conducted by telephoning or e-mailing purchasing managers, economists, or other knowledgeable individuals at selected, relevant businesses. Reserve Banks may also use online survey tools to collect responses to the survey. The frequency and content of the questions, as well as the entities contacted, vary depending on developments in the economy. These surveys are conducted to provide Board members and Reserve Bank presidents real-time insights into economic conditions. The Board tailors these survey questions to match current concerns and interests, but they are not meant to supplant the more rigorous, existing economic reporting. The Board collects individual responses from the Reserve Banks and then distributes aggregate information to Board members and Reserve Bank presidents.

Abstract

This information collection is authorized under the AIM Act (Section 103 in Division S, Innovation for the Environment, of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116- 260)). Consistent with the AIM Act’s mandate that on a periodic basis, to be determined by the Administrator, but not less frequently than annually, each person who, within the applicable reporting period, produces, imports, exports, destroys, transforms, uses as a process agent, receives application-specific allowances, repackages, recycles for fire suppression, or reclaims a regulated substance shall submit to the Administrator reports and maintain records. The reports describe, as applicable, the quantity of the regulated substance that the person—produced, imported, and exported; destroyed by a technology approved by the Administrator; used and entirely consumed (except for trace quantities) in the manufacture of another chemical; used as a process agent; or recycled and reclaimed. Further, anyone who receives application-specific allowances (via allocation, transfer, or conferral) must report on the conferral or transfer of allowances, their use of allowances, and request application-specific allowances annually, if needed and eligible. Additional records must be maintained, as are additional reports to document compliance.

[NCHHSTP] mChoice: Improving PrEP Uptake and Adherence among Minority MSM through Tailored Provider Training and Adherence Assistance in Two High Priority Settings

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of the mChoice project is to rigorously evaluate the use of provider and patient education and support tools in clinical settings to increase PrEP screening, counseling, initiation, adherence, and persistence by MSM. This research project will involve interaction with human participants and intends to collect new individually identifiable data and biospecimens from the participants. This project is considered human subjects research and will be covered by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The mChoice intervention will target healthcare providers and PrEP users. The study will provide training to healthcare providers to improve knowledge of PrEP clinical guidelines and enhance provider communications with their patients. PrEP users will receive CleverCap, an electronic medication monitoring device that is linked to the CleverCap mobile phone application that provides medication dispensing information and reminders to support medication adherence, as well as health information and appointment reminders. This non-substantive change request is submitted to modify data collection documents for compliance with EO 14168 following Reinstatement. The burden remains the same.

Fixed Guideway Capital Investment Grants (CIG) Program Section 5309

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR requests an extension without change for OMB Control No. 2132-0561, Fixed Guideway Capital Investment Grants (CIG) Program (49 U.S.C. § 5309). The CIG program provides discretionary funding for fixed-guideway projects such as rapid rail, commuter rail, light rail, streetcar, ferry, and corridor-based bus rapid transit that emulate rail features. Program applicants (state and local governments, transit agencies) must submit multi-year, multi-step project information annually to demonstrate eligibility and compete for funding. Required submissions include project background, operating and maintenance cost estimates, project justification (mobility and congestion benefits, land use and environmental impacts), and documentation of local financial commitment. FTA staff and contracted reviewers use the information to evaluate, rate, and advance projects through the CIG process. There have been no statutory or programmatic changes to the collection; however, a data-driven reassessment of respondent activities and time estimates has reduced the estimated burden hours in this submission. Labor rates have been updated.
