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.

Rail Carrier and Tank Car Tanks Requirements, Rail Tank Car Tanks - Transportation of Hazardous Materials by Rail

Key Information

Abstract

This is to request the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) three-year renewal with change of the information collection titled, “Rail Carrier and Tank Car Tanks Requirements, Rail Tank Car Tanks – Transportation of Hazardous Materials by Rail” under OMB Control No. 2137-0559, which is currently due to expire on November 30, 2026. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has collected information related to transportation by rail car since the creation of the DOT in 1967. This OMB control number was first approved on March 7, 1984, and was initiated as a result of an information collection for the approval of tank cars for Hyrdocyancic Acid Service. This OMB Control Number was broadened on January 17, 1986, to include rail carrier and tank car requirements that contained information collections. The requested change stems from a final rule published on June 24, 2024, titled “Hazardous Materials: FAST Act Requirements for Real-Time Train Consist Information” [HM-263; 89 FR 52956], which require all railroads to generate in electronic form, maintain, and provide to first responders, emergency response officials, and law enforcement personnel, certain information regarding hazardous materials in rail transportation to enhance emergency response and investigative efforts.

Rule 17Ad-17, Transfer Agents' Obligation to Search for Lost Securityholders

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of Rule 17Ad-17 (17 CFR 240.17Ad-7) is to reduce the number of lost securityholders by requiring transfer agents, brokers, dealers, and paying agents (collectively, "covered entities") to conduct two database searches for correct addresses for the lost securityholders. Rule 17Ad-17 requires a mandatory "collection of information" that requires covered entities to maintain records in order to comply with and to demonstrate compliance with the rule, which includes written procedures that describe the transfer agent's, broker's, dealer's, or paying agent's methodology for complying with the rule. Such records must be maintained for a period of not less than three years with the first year in an easily accessible place. The Commission reviews this information to test for compliance. The collection of information is necessary to enable covered entities, as custodians of records that determine the ownership of securities and the entitlement to corporate distributions, to reduce the number of lost and missing securityholders. The Dodd-Frank Act required certain changes to this rule.

Data Security Executive Order

Key Information

Abstract

On February 28, 2024, the President issued Executive Order 14117 (Preventing Access to Americans’ Bulk Sensitive Personal Data and United States Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern) (the Order) pursuant to his authority under the Constitution and laws of the United States, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), and 301 of title 3, United States Code). The Order directs the Attorney General to issue regulations that prohibit or otherwise restrict United States persons from engaging in any acquisition, holding, use, transfer, transportation, or exportation of, or dealing in, any property in which a foreign country or national thereof has any interest (transaction), where the transaction: involves bulk U.S. sensitive personal data (SPD) or U.S. Government related data, as defined by final rules implementing the Order; falls within a class of transactions that has been determined by the Attorney General to pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States because it may enable access by countries of concern or covered persons to Americans’ bulk SPD or U.S. government-related data; and meets other criteria specified by the Order. On March 5, 2025, the Department of Justice (Department or DOJ), through the National Security Division, issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemakin

Key Information

Abstract

The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act) and the Board’s Regulation Y - Bank Holding Companies and Change in Bank Control (12 CFR Part 225) require a bank holding company (BHC) that, either through foreclosure or otherwise in the ordinary course of collecting a debt previously contracted (DPC), acquired voting securities of a bank or BHC or the securities or assets of a company engaged in a nonbanking activity to seek prior Board approval in order to retain ownership of those shares or assets for more than two years.

Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices

Key Information

Abstract

A senior loan officer at each respondent bank completes this voluntary survey through an electronic submission, up to six times a year. Consistent with the Senior Financial Officer Survey (FR 2023; OMB No. 7100-0223), senior staff at the Reserve Banks with knowledge of bank lending practices serve as the main contacts for Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices (SLOOS) respondents in their district and help administer the survey. The current reporting panel consists of up to 80 large domestically chartered commercial banks and up to 24 large U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks. The purpose of the survey is to provide qualitative and limited quantitative information on credit availability and demand, as well as on evolving developments and lending practices in the U.S. loan markets. A portion of each survey typically covers special topics of timely interest. Although the Board has the authority to conduct the survey up to six times a year, the survey has typically been conducted only four times a year since 1992. Consistent with the FR 2023, other types of respondents, such as other depository institutions, bank holding companies, or other financial entities, may be surveyed, if appropriate. The respondents’ answers provide information that is critical to the Federal Reserve System’s monitoring of bank lending practices and credit markets. The Federal Reserve relies on the regular opportunity to solicit information from banks within the framework of the survey. Aggregated survey results from 1997 to present are available to the public on the Board’s website.

Notice of Proposed Stock Redemption

Key Information

Abstract

The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act) and Board’s Regulation Y - Bank Holding Companies and Change in Bank Control (12 CFR 225) require a bank holding company (BHC) to seek the prior approval of the Board before purchasing or redeeming its equity securities in certain circumstances. Due to the limited information that a BHC must provide in connection with any such request, there is no required reporting form, and each request for prior approval is generally filed 30 days before the proposed stock purchase or redemption as a notification with the Reserve Bank that has direct supervisory responsibility for the requesting BHC. The Federal Reserve uses the information provided in the redemption notice to supervise BHCs.

Abstract

This interagency guidance states that certain financial institutions should establish and maintain written policies and procedures for identifying, evaluating, assessing, documenting, and controlling risks associated with complex structured finance transactions (CSFTs) and should retain certain documents related to elevated risk CSFTs, which are a subcategory of CSFTs. The FR 4022 covers these information collections for financial institutions that are subject to the Statement and that are supervised by the Board, which are state member banks, bank holding companies (other than foreign banking organizations), savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs), and U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks.

Domestic Finance Company Report of Consolidated Assets and Liabilities

Key Information

Abstract

The voluntary FR 2248 is collected monthly as of the last calendar day of the month from a stratified sample of finance companies. Each monthly report collects balance sheet data on major categories of consumer and business credit receivables and on major short-term liabilities. For quarter-end months (March, June, September, and December), additional asset and liability items are collected to provide a full balance sheet. A supplemental section collects data on securitized assets. Board staff may ask either quantitative or qualitative questions through the use of a special addendum section no more than twice per year. The data are used to construct universe estimates of finance company holdings, which are published in the monthly statistical releases Finance Companies (G.20) and Consumer Credit (G.19), and in the quarterly statistical release Financial Accounts of the United States (Z.1).

Registration of Municipal Securities Dealers (Form MSD, Form MSDW, and Rule 15Ba2-5 Statements)

Key Information

Abstract

Under Section 15B(a) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-4(a)), municipal securities dealers which are banks, or separately identifiable departments or divisions of banks (collectively, “bank municipal securities dealers”) are required to be registered with the Commission in accordance with such rules as the Commission may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors. Under Section 15B(c) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-4(c)), any registered municipal securities dealer may, upon such terms and conditions as the Commission may deem necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors, withdraw from registration by filing a written notice of withdrawal with the Commission. Rule 15Ba2-1 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-1) provides that an application for registration by a bank municipal securities dealer must be filed on Form MSD (17 CFR 249.1100). Rule 15Ba2-1 further provides that if the information contained in any application for registration on Form MSD, or in any amendment to such application, is or becomes inaccurate for any reason, the applicant must promptly file an amendment on Form MSD correcting such information. Rule 15Ba2-4 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-4) permits the successor to a registered municipal securities dealer to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of the predecessor’s business provided certain requirements are met, including the filing of a successor application on Form MSD. Rule 15Bc3-1 (17 CFR 240.15Bc3-1) provides that bank municipal securities dealers that wish to withdraw from registration must file a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form MSDW (17 CFR 249.1110). Rule 15Bc3-1 further provides that, prior to filing a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form MSDW, a bank municipal securities dealer must amend Form MSD in accordance with Rule 15Ba2-1(b) to update any inaccurate information. Rule 15Ba2-5 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-5) permits a duly appointed (or duly qualified) fiduciary to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of a registered municipal securities dealer’s business. Under the rule, the registration of a municipal securities dealer is deemed to be the registration of any fiduciary, appointed or qualified by order, judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction to continue the business of such municipal securities dealer, provided that such fiduciary files with the Commission, within 30 days after entering upon the performance of his duties, a statement setting forth as to such fiduciary substantially the same information required by Form MSD or Form BD (“Rule 15Ba2-5 Statement”). The Commission uses the information obtained from Form MSD, Form MSDW, and Rule 15Ba2-5 Statement filings to, among other things, determine whether bank municipal securities dealers, their Rule 15Ba2-4 successors, and their Rule 15Ba2-5 fiduciaries meet the standards for registration set forth in the Exchange Act, and whether it is in the public interest to permit a bank municipal securities dealer to withdraw its registration. Certain provisions of Rule 15Ba2-4 and Rule 15Bc3-1 apply to non-bank municipal securities dealers which make registration filings on the standard forms for brokers and dealers (Form BD instead of Form MSD, and Form BDW instead of Form MSDW). Burden estimates for such non-bank municipal securities dealers are accounted for in the Supporting Statements for Form BD (OMB Control No. 3235-0012) and Form BDW (OMB Control No. 3235-0018) and are not included herein.

Subject to OMB approval, the Commission intends to consolidate this information collection into revised OMB Control No. 3235-0083 and ultimately discontinue this control number. Rule 15Ba2-5 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-5) permits a duly appointed (or duly qualified) fiduciary to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of a registered municipal securities dealer’s business. Without the rule, the fiduciary would not be able to assume operation until it registered as a municipal securities dealer. Under the rule, the registration of a municipal securities dealer is deemed to be the registration of any executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, trustee in insolvency or bankruptcy, or other fiduciary, appointed or qualified by order, judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction to continue the business of such municipal securities dealer, provided that such fiduciary files with the Commission, within 30 days after entering upon the performance of his duties, a statement setting forth as to such fiduciary substantially the same information required by Form MSD or Form BD (“Rule 15Ba2-5 Statement”). The Commission uses the information obtained from Rule 15Ba2-5 Statements to, among other things, determine whether the fiduciary meets the standards for registration set forth in the Exchange Act.

Rule 15Ba2-4, Registration of successor to registered municipal securities dealer

Key Information

Abstract

Subject to OMB approval, the Commission intends to consolidate this information collection into revised OMB Control No. 3235-0083 and ultimately discontinue this control number. Rule 15Ba2-4 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-4) permits the successor to a registered municipal securities dealer to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of the predecessor’s business provided certain requirements are met, including the filing of a successor application on Form MSD. The Commission uses the information obtained from Form MSD filings to, among other things, determine whether bank municipal securities dealers and their Rule 15Ba2-4 successors meet the standards for registration set forth in the Exchange Act. Certain provisions of Rule 15Ba2-4 apply to non-bank municipal securities dealers which make registration filings on the standard forms for brokers and dealers (Form BD instead of Form MSD, and Form BDW instead of Form MSDW). Burden estimates for such non-bank municipal securities dealers are accounted for in the Supporting Statements for Form BD (OMB Control No. 3235-0012) and Form BDW (OMB Control No. 3235-0018) and are not included herein.

Rule 701-Exemption for offers and sales of securities pursuant to certain compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation

Key Information

Abstract

Absent an available exemption, the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) requires that a registration statement be filed with the Commission disclosing prescribed categories of information before securities may be offered for sale. Where a registration statement is required, securities may not be sold to the public until the registration statement becomes effective. Congress recognized that in some situations there may not be a need for registration in connection with offers and sales of securities; it provided a number of exemptions from Securities Act registration and provided the Commission with authority to adopt exemptions from Securities Act registration. Rule 701 (17 CFR 230.701) provides an exemption from Securities Act registration for an issuer that is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“non-reporting issuer”) for offers and sales of securities under a written compensatory benefit plan or written compensation contract established by the issuer (or its parents, its majority-owned subsidiaries, or majority-owned subsidiaries of the issuer’s parent) for the participation of their employees, directors, general partners, trustees, officers, or consultants and advisors, and their family members who acquire such securities from such persons through gifts or domestic relations orders. The total sales price or maximum amount of securities that may be sold under Rule 701 during any consecutive 12-month period must not exceed the greatest of: (1) $1 million, (2) 15% of the total assets of the issuer (or its parent company if the issuer is a wholly-owned subsidiary, subject to certain conditions), or (3) 15% of the outstanding amount of the class of securities being offered and sold in reliance on Rule 701. All issuers relying on Rule 701 must deliver to investors a copy of the compensatory benefit plan or contract. In addition, if the total sales price or amount of securities sold during any consecutive 12-month period exceeds $10 million, the issuer must deliver the following additional disclosure to investors a reasonable period before the date of sale (or, for derivative securities, including options, the date of exercise or conversion, or, for deferred compensation or similar plans, the date the irrevocable election to defer is made): (1) a copy of the summary plan description required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) or, if the plan is not subject to ERISA, a summary of the material terms of the plan, (2) information about risks associated with investment in the securities, (3) the financial statements required to be furnished by Part F/S of Form 1-A under Regulation A, and (4) parent financial statements (where the issuer uses its parent’s total assets to determine the amount of securities that may be sold). The purpose of Rule 701 is to enable non-reporting issuers to compensate employees and others without registering an offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act, while requiring issuers, as a condition of reliance on the rule, to provide investors with certain information that is important to investment decision making.

Head Start Program Grant Application

Key Information

Abstract

Sections 641, 641A (codified at 45 CFR 1301 to 1305), 642 to 645A, 648A, 653 to 657A of the Head Start Act (the Act) prescribes requirements eligible entities must meet in order to receive funding under the Act. Applicants are required to demonstrate that they are or will meet Head Start requirements when submitting applications for funding under the Act. To receive Head Start funding, Head Start grant recipients must apply for such funds. The Head Start Grant Application is used by the Office of Head Start to gather the necessary information from eligible entities applying for Head Start funding. This collection targets current Head Start grantees submitting non-competitive applications, including those applying for baseline funding (first year of a new grant period) and continuation funding (subsequent years in a project period). ACF requested changes to reduce the burden of these requirements related to documentation while still meeting the requirements under the Act. See Supporting Statement A for additional information. This request was approved but the final version of the Supporting Statement A was not included with the documents for approval. This nonsubstantive change updates to include the correct version.
