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.

MVPD Notice, Section 73.3700

Key Information

Abstract

On June 2, 2014 the Commission released a rulemaking titled “Expanding the Economic and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions,” GN Docket 12-268, Report and Order, FCC 14-50, 29 FCC Rcd 6567 (2014) which adopted rules for holding an Incentive Auction. Full power and Class A stations will be reassigned to a new channel via the repacking process following the auction. Other stations will submit winning bids to relinquish their channels, enter into channel sharing agreements (and move to the channel of the station they are sharing with); or to move from high-VHF to low-VHF channels or from UHF to high-VHF or low-VHF. Each of these stations are required to notify multichannel video programming providers (“MVPD”) that carry the station of the fact that the station will be changing channels or terminating operations. Section 73.3700 requires that full power and Class A television stations assigned a new channel in the incentive auction repacking, relinquishing their channel or moving to a new channel as a result of a winning bid in the auction, notify MVPDs of their termination of operations or change in channel. 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. Channel sharing stations also must notify MVPDs of the fact that stations will be terminating operations on one channel to share another station’s channel. Section 73.3800, Full Power Television Channel Sharing Outside the Incentive Auction, Section 73.6028 Class A Television Channel Sharing Outside the Incentive Auction and Section 74.799 Low Power Television and TV Translator Channel Sharing require that stations seeking to channel share outside of the incentive auction provide notification to MVPDs of the fact that the station will be terminating operations on one channel to share another station’s channel.

Section 74.799, Channel Sharing Agreement

Key Information

Abstract

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, LPTV and TV translator stations. Sections 73.3800, Full Power Television Channel Sharing Outside the Incentive Auction, Section 73.6028, Class A Television Channel Sharing Outside the Incentive Auction and Section 73.799, Low Power Television and TV Translator Channel Sharing require that stations seeking to channel share outside of the incentive auction provide a copy of their “CSA” to the Commission for review. In addition, we note that revisions to this information collection that resulted from the provisions adopted in the FCC 15-175 that approved channel sharing between LPTV and TV translator stations were already approved under this collection and have not changed. They are as follows: There is no specified format for the CSA but it must contain provisions covering: a. Access to facilities, including whether each licensee will have unrestrained access to the shared transmission facilities; b. Allocation of bandwidth within the shared channel; c. Operation, maintenance, repair, and modification of facilities, including a list of all relevant equipment, a description of each party's financial obligations, and any relevant notice provisions; d. Transfer/assignment of a shared license, including the ability of a new licensee to assume the existing CSA; e. Termination of the license of a party to the CSA, including reversion of spectrum usage rights to the remaining parties to the CSA and f. A provision affirming compliance with the channel sharing requirements in the rules including a provision requiring that each channel sharing licensee shall retain spectrum usage rights adequate to ensure a sufficient amount of the shared channel capacity to allow it to provide at least one Standard Definition (SD) program stream at all times.

Conference, Meeting, Workshop, Registration and Challenges Generic Clearance (OD)

Key Information

Abstract

This is an extension of a currently approved generic clearance which allows NIH to continue to request detailed information from organizations (universities, non-profits, etc.) when there is a need to gather information for various activities. This generic provides a quick and efficient process to create registration forms for NIH sponsored conference, meetings, workshops, poster sessions, presentations, panels, and website content. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) directly sponsors, organizes, and conducts research-related activities such as conferences, workshops, meetings, poster sessions, and training courses. These activities are designed to be relevant to the current state of research in each field or to the current state of participant’s research projects or careers, and other resource limitations and determine the number of possible participants. For such activities to be timely and to optimally use available resources to address needs and opportunities within the research community, it is necessary for NIH to have a means to register and select the most appropriate participants, according to the type or purpose of a given activity.

Enrollment data is an important source of information which allows the Indian Affairs and other Federal agencies to equitably distribute resources because it is a quantifiable representation of a Tribe’s population. Different population sizes generally require different levels of services and resources. BIA must collect this information to ensure effective, accurate, and timely distribution of assistance to respond to funds specifically appropriated for Indian Country, where applicable. This data will assist Federal agencies in developing distribution formulas for funds under annual appropriations, Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (P.

The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey collects data on job vacancies, labor hires, and labor separations. The data can be used as demand-side indicators of labor shortages. These indicators of labor shortages at the national level greatly enhance policy makers' understanding of imbalances between the demand and supply of labor. Presently there is no other economic indicator of labor demand with which to assess the presence of labor shortages in the U.S. labor market. The availability of unfilled jobs is an important measure of tightness of job markets, symmetrical to unemployment measures.

National Communication System for Runaway and Homeless Youth Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

The Family and Youth Services Bureau’s (FYSB) Runaway and Homeless Youth Division has a legislative requirement to fund a National Communication System, which is currently operated by the National Runaway Safeline (NRS). The NRS provides information, referral services, crisis intervention, and prevention resources to vulnerable youth and families of youth at risk of running away and/or becoming homeless at no cost. When necessary, the NRS refers runaway and homeless youth to shelters, counseling, medical assistance, and other vital services. The NRS collects information from all contacts with youth and adults connecting with the NRS (i.e., parents, family members, legal guardians, service providers) on a voluntary basis to inform crisis services and develop an annual report on the information collected during calls, chats, emails, and forum posts from young people who reached out to the NRS’s crisis services. 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 the Secretary shall make grants for a national communication system to assist runaway and homeless youth in communicating with their families and with service providers. The NRS is required to have a system for collecting and analyzing data on calls, emails, chat, texts, and online messages received as well as other information, such as prevention resources, referrals, demographics, and visitors to the NRS website. The NRS must submit monthly and semi-annual reports that includes the following: • Number of calls received, answered, and missed. • Number of chats, emails, and texts received; number of chats, emails, and texts answered; and number of chats, emails, and texts that were missed and did not receive a response, in which the users are youth in crisis, runaway youth, and youth experiencing homelessness. • Number of parents, legal guardians, and service providers contacting the NRS and the type of resources, interventions, and technical support/assistance requested and provided. • Number and type of prevention materials disseminated to communities, especially to underserved populations. • Number and type of unique visitors to the NRS’ website. • Information on referrals provided and where youth were referred for services. • Information on the callers' or users' demographics and where they were located when contacting the NRS. • Information on the prevention materials developed and disseminated by the NRS. • Information and analysis of the latest trends and their impact on runaway prevention. The NRS uses two forms, one form to collect relevant information disclosed during calls, emails, and forum posts, and then a second form to collect information from chats. All data will be provided to FYSB in the aggregate and no personally identifiable information are collected. This nonsubstantive change request is in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO). ACF has implemented changes to update gender collected data to denote sex as a biological variable in current approved information collection requests to comply with the directives. This request is specific to only these updates.

Starting in 1973, roadside surveys of drivers on the road have estimated the population-level prevalence of drinking and driving in the United States. The core methodology has continued across decades, but NHTSA has initiated improvements. The number of sites has increased, drugs of interest have been modified to reflect use across the country, and advances in technology have impacted how data can be collected and specimens analyzed. Conducting an NRS on a periodic basis (e.g., about every 10 years) allows NHTSA to examine the prevalence of alcohol and drug use among drivers, and trends across survey years. Given States are legalizing medicinal and/or recreational use of cannabis, and other issues such as the apparent increase in opioid use in the U.S., more information is needed on the level of alcohol- and drug-involved driving to better inform NHTSA’s countermeasure development. Roadside surveys provide objective measures of alcohol and drugs in drivers’ systems when they are actually driving. These measures are based on results from breath tests and oral fluid samples collected using established protocols. Analyses of these specimens allow for the quantitative determination of alcohol and drug levels. Learning more about alcohol and other drug prevalence among road users other than drivers is new to this NRS. These other road users (ORUs) include pedestrians, bicyclists, scooterists, and those using mobility aids. NHTSA will conduct two studies. Study 1 will focus on drivers but include convenience sampling of ORUs passing by the data collection locations. Study 2 is a pilot test assessing the feasibility of a NRS specific to ORUs. Both will collect breath and oral fluid specimens, demographic information, and self-report questionnaire data on roads across the country. Participation will be voluntary and anonymous. Study protocols will be reviewed by a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services-approved IRB. The only personal identifiable information (PII) collected is oral fluid. No DNA analyses will be conducted on the oral fluid specimens. These will only be analyzed for the presence of alcohol and other drugs, and specimens will be destroyed after the study is complete. The results will be reported in aggregate form in research reports. NHTSA anticipates obtaining a Certificate of Confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Study 1 / National Roadside Survey. This request is a voluntary, one-time survey. This survey follows the prior NRS methodology but additionally includes recruiting ORUs who are passing by data collection locations. Data collection will occur in 60 primary sampling units (PSUs) using 5 locations at each PSU (300 locations total). There will be a single data collection event at each location. The biological samples will be sent to a toxicology lab for testing of the presence of alcohol and other drugs. Participants’ responses to survey questions on the use of drugs and traffic safety-related behaviors and attitudes will also be analyzed. Study 2 / Pilot Test for Other Road Users. Study 2 examines the viability of a stand-alone roadside survey focused solely on ORUs. This effort uses 20 new data collection locations, inclusive of 4 PSUs with 5 locations each. This effort is to inform NHTSA on the feasibility of such a targeted roadside survey and to determine the level of effort to execute a nationwide study of ORUs. The same procedures as Study 1 will be used. NHTSA will use the information from both studies to produce technical reports presenting the findings. The technical reports will provide only aggregate (summary) statistics and tables; no PII will be retained or reported. The Study 1 technical report is for audiences interested in traffic safety. The information from Study 2 will also be used by NHTSA in consideration of research on ORUs.

Non-Insulin-Treated Diabetes Mellitus Assessment Form

Key Information

Abstract

This is a non-substantive change request to update the form no. MCSA-5872, "Non-Insulin-Treated Diabetes Mellitus Assessment Form" with the correct expiration date. FMCSA seeks the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) approval of a new ICR titled, Non-Insulin-Treated Diabetes Mellitus Assessment Form, MCSA-5872. This ICR is voluntary and may be utilized by medical examiners (ME), who issue Medical Examiner’s Certificates, Form MCSA-5876, to individuals who operate commercial motor vehicles (CMV) in interstate commerce, to communicate with treating healthcare providers responsible for managing the individuals’ diagnosed non-insulin-treated diabetes mellitus. The purpose of the Non-Insulin-Treated Diabetes Mellitus Assessment Form, MCSA-5872, is to assist the ME in determining whether an individual diagnosed with non-insulin-treated diabetes mellitus is physically qualified and the individual’s physical condition is adequate to enable the individual to operate a CMV safely. Because this collection is voluntary, there is no set schedule for CMV operators or MEs to complete the form MCSA-5872. FMCSA estimates that MEs will request that forms be completed for 242,057 individuals with a corresponding number of treating healthcare providers.

Medical Qualification Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

This request for a non-substantive change to this ICR updates the expiration dates to the five collection instruments associated with this ICR. The information collection requirements are mandatory and apply to drivers, motor carriers, MEs, ME applicant testing organizations, and TCs. IC-1: Physical Qualification Standards; MEs must provide driver medical exam information for drivers they examine on medical forms and in the National Registry. The ME can determine if the driver is medically qualified. The ME must complete and furnish the original paper MEC to the driver. The driver must complete driver health history portion of the MER Form at least every 2 years. The motor carrier must file a MEC in DQ record. IC-2: Resolution of Medical Conflict; The medical conflict application provision provides a mechanism for drivers and motor carriers to request FMCSA to make a final decision to resolve conflicting medical evaluations when either party does not accept the decision of a medical specialist. FMCSA uses the information to determine if the driver should or should not be qualified. Motor carriers are required to submit an application to FMCSA for resolution (up to 3 cases a year) and attend a hearing (1 per year) if FMCSA deems necessary. IC-3: Medical Exemptions; FMCSA may grant a vision, hearing, or seizure exemption from a physical qualification standard. The driver is to complete an application for new exemption and exemption renewal every 2 years and the motor carrier is to copy and file the exemption in the DQ file. IC4: Skill Performance Evaluation Certificate; The SPE Certificate program requires drivers to complete an application for the new SPE certificate, complete an application for SPE certificate renewal every 2 years, provide a copy of the MER Form and MEC to FMCSA, and for motor carriers to copy and file the SPE Certificate in the DQ record. IC-5: National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners; MEs are required to provide contact and employment data when registering to become a certified ME. This data is used to provide the public with contact information for those medical professionals who are certified by FMCSA to conduct interstate CMV driver medical exams. MEs are required to submit the results of each CMV driver medical exam they complete daily, copies of MER forms, and MECs via the National Registry. IC-6: Medical Examiner’s Certification Integration Final Rule; Beginning on June 23, 2025, MEs will no longer be required to complete and furnish the original written MEC to qualified drivers when the driver is a CDL/CLP holder. This information will be electronically transmitted to the SDLA. Employers will no longer need to request a copy of the handwritten MEC for CDL/CLP holders. In addition, employers will no longer be required to verify the ME’s National Registry number for MECs issued to CDL/CLP holders because only MEs listed on the National Registry will be able to forward MEC information to the National Registry. IC-7: Qualifications of Drivers; Diabetes Standard; An individual with ITDM is able to obtain an MEC from an ME for up to a maximum of 12 months if the TC, the healthcare professional who manages, and prescribes insulin for the treatment of the individual’s diabetes, attests to the ME the individual maintains a stable insulin regimen and proper control of diabetes, and the ME determines the individual meets FMCSA’s physical qualification standards. The information provided by the TC enables the ME to make a qualification determination based on whether the driver meets all the physical qualification requirements.

Request for Audits and State Commissions' Access to Numbering Resource Application Information (47 C.F.R. Section 52.15)

Key Information

Abstract

The 2nd R&O imposed two paperwork related obligations on carriers, which were subsequently expanded to VoIP providers. 1. The NANPA, the Pooling Administrator, or a state commission may draft a request to the auditor stating the reason for the request, such as misleading or inaccurate data, and attach supporting documentation. 2. Requests for copies of providers' applications for numbering resources may be made directly to providers. The information collected will be used by the FCC, state commissions, the NANPA and the Pooling Administrator to verify the validity and accuracy of such data and to assist state commissions in carrying out their numbering responsibilities, such as area code relief.
