Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
ICR Definition
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.

Authorizing Statutes49 USC 13903 (View Law) 49 USC 13904 (View Law) Pub.L. 112 - 114 126 Stat. 405 (View Law) 49 USC 13902 (View Law) Pub.L. 104 - 88 109 Stat. 803 (View Law) AbstractFMCSA registers for-hire motor carriers of regulated commodities and of passengers, surface freight forwarders, property brokers, and certain Mexico-domiciled motor carriers, as mandatory reporting. These motor carriers may conduct transportation services in the United States only if they are registered with FMCSA. FMCSA is still accepting forms OP-1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), and OP-1(NNA) for existing registrants wishing to apply for additional authorities. FMCSA requires Form OP-1(MX) for Mexico-domiciled carriers that wish to operate beyond the U.S. municipalities on the U.S.-Mexico border and their commercial zones. Information collected through these forms, as an ICR extension, aids FMCSA in determining the type of operation a company may run, the cargo it may carry, and the resulting level of insurance coverage the applicant will be required to obtain and maintain to continue its operating authority. The OP-1 series requests information on the applicant’s familiarity with relevant safety requirements, the applicant’s willingness to comply with those requirements during its operations, and the applicant’s willingness to meet any specific statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to its proposed operations. FMCSA also uses information from these forms to prepare (for each applicant) a public notice of the registration application, which is published in the “FMCSA Register.” Publication of this notice initiates a 10-day period during which an interested party may file a complaint seeking denial of the registration on a limited number of statutory grounds. Effective December 12, 2015, OP-1 series forms, with the exception of OP-1(MX), can only be used to apply for additional authorities, not for initial registration with FMCSA. These forms request information to identify the applicant, the nature and scope of its proposed operations, a narrative description of the applicant’s safety policies and procedures, and information regarding the drivers and vehicles it plans to use in U.S. operations. There is no requirement for the OP-1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), and OP-1(NNA) forms be filed on a periodic basis. The forms are filed on an “as needed” basis. Since the rollout of URS Phase I, the sole purpose of these forms is to allow existing registrants to apply for additional authorities. A new OP-1(MX) application form is currently required only if a Mexico-domiciled carrier wishes to extend the scope of its authority or is applying for new authority. |

Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes42 USC § 300jj-11 and § 300jj-52 (View Law) AbstractThe Office of the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ASTP/ONC) is seeking approval for a new data collection effort to field a National Survey of Digital Health Companies. This survey will help ASTP/ONC better understand companies’ adoption of various types of application programming interfaces (APIs) for electronic health record (EHR) integration, use of the HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard, status of EHR integrations, underlying characteristics of digital health companies, perceived benefits of federal health IT policy, and needed improvements to API standards and relevant federal health IT policies. The digital health sector has rapidly grown over the past decade, fueled in large part by the implementation of EHRs and the availability of APIs that allow third-party applications to work with EHR data in various ways. It is critical to assess the digital health ecosystem’s experiences with federally regulated, standards-based application programming interfaces (APIs) for health data exchange, as mandated under the 21st Century Cures Act (42 U.S.C. § 300jj-11 and § 300jj-52). The Cures Act aims to promote secure, standardized access to and exchange of electronic health information (EHI) through certified APIs “without special effort.” This supports patient access to their medical information and allows for third-party innovation in the private sector. |

Market Risk Capital Requirements
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes12 USC 1815(a) (View Law) AbstractThe FDIC’s market risk capital rules (12 CFR part 324, subpart F) enhance risk sensitivity, increase transparency through enhanced disclosures and include requirements for the public disclosure of certain qualitative and quantitative information about the market risk of state nonmember banks and state savings associations (covered FDIC-supervised institutions). The market risk rule applies only if a bank holding company or bank has aggregated trading assets and trading liabilities equal to 10 percent or more of quarter-end total assets or $1 billion or more (covered FDIC-supervised institutions). Currently, only one FDIC-regulated entity meets the criteria of the information collection requirements that are located at 12 CFR 324.203 through 324.212. The collection of information is necessary to ensure capital adequacy appropriate for the level of market risk. |
