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.

High-Frequency Surveys Program, Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey NSC

Key Information

Abstract

The High-Frequency Surveys Program was established as a natural progression from the creation of the Household Pulse Survey. The Census Bureau developed the Household Pulse Survey to produce near real-time data in a time of urgent and acute need to inform federal and state action in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Changes in the measures over time provided insight into individuals’ experiences on social and economic dimensions during the period of the pandemic. It has evolved to include content on other emergent social and economic issues facing households and is designed to supplement the federal statistical system’s traditional benchmark data products with a new data source that provides relevant and timely information based on a high-quality sample frame, data integration, and cooperative expertise. In January 2025, the HPS and CHP will be relaunched as the Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (HTOPS). The HTOPS will continue the strong tradition of the HPS by rapidly providing insight into national events that have social and economic impacts on U.S. households. It will complement more traditional federal surveys by producing data much closer to real time as the events develop and with the new longitudinal design, have the ability to track changes over time. Along with HPS content, the survey will enable the Census Bureau to address research and content development needs for its census and survey programs. The HTOPS will be one more tool among the Census Bureau's data collection efforts to provide the nation with quality, up-to-date information that informs our future.

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration on Children, Youth and Families' (ACYF) Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) publishes a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications from states and territories for the development and implementation of the Title V State Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Program. The purpose of the Title V State SRAE Program is to fund states/territories to implement education exclusively on sexual risk avoidance that teaches youth participants to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity. States and territories are expected to submit plans for the implementation of sexual risk avoidance education that normalizes the optimal health behavior of avoiding non-marital sexual activity, with a focus being on the future health, psychological wellbeing, and economic success of youth. Further, the plans must address the social, psychological, and health gains to be realized by refraining from non-marital sexual activity and engaging in healthy relationships. This request is to make updates to remove equity-related indicators from the SRAE Performance Progress Report.

State Court Improvement Program

Key Information

Abstract

Authorizing legislation makes clear that an application is required in order for State courts to receive CIP funding. A copy of the statute is attached with this submission for review (Attachment A - SSA Section 438). There are two parts of the application, which are necessary to properly administer the State Court Improvement Program (CIP): an annual year-end self-assessment report with an updated strategic plan. A complete application is required from state courts every five years which includes the self-assessment and new strategic plan. Annually, the self-assessment should thoroughly be updated to reflect progress and challenges over the prior year. The strategic plan is to be written as a five-year plan which looks forward and is updated as needed annually. Because it is a high-level summary, and the two documents work in tandem, the primary burden annually is completing the more detailed self-assessment and updates to strategic plans are often minor notes that flow out of that review. These documents are required to monitor progress of the program according to statute. Both the self-assessment and strategic plan template were developed with in-depth grantee input and feedback. The goal has been to design a process and tools that meet reporting requirements but also serve as helpful documents to grantees in conducting their work. The Self-Assessment had one optional Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility question and one bulleted item in another question that we request be removed to comply with the above Executive Orders. The Strategic Plan template did not have any items relevant to the following Executive Orders: Ending Radical and Wasteful Government Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Programs and Preferencing and Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting an extension with no changes to this information collection, which was originally approved in October 2023 through an emergency review, as authorized under 44 U.S.C. 3507 (subsection j). The forms under this request enable ACF’s Office of Human Services Emergency Preparedness and Response (OHSEPR) to provide case management support during disasters. The Disaster Human Services Case Management (DHSCM) program is authorized through appropriations language under the Children and Families Services account. It is operated by the Administration for Children and Families' (ACF) Office of Human Services Emergency Preparedness and Response (OHSEPR). OHSEPR is the lead in the Department for Health and Human Services (HHS) for human service preparation for, response to, and recovery from, natural disasters. The materials included in this request are necessary for OHSEPR to provide responsive disaster human services case management operations to support families that are currently displaced. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) has updated the Disaster Human Services Intake Assessment Form to comply with Executive Order 14168, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government (Defending Women). The remaining four forms are already in compliance and do not require changes.

Key Information

Abstract

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) block grant (42 U.S.C. 8621) was established under Title XXVI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, P. L. 97-35. The Office of Community Services (OCS) within the Department of Health and Human Services' (DHHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF) administers LIHEAP at the Federal level. The LIHEAP Household Report is an annual data collection effort conducted by OCS to collect information from LIHEAP grantees to meet statutory requirements and program objectives. The LIHEAP statute requires the collection of data on the number of households assisted, their income levels, and vulnerability group, by type of LIHEAP assistance, for inclusion in the Secretary’s annual LIHEAP Report to Congress. The data are collected through the LIHEAP Household Report, which consists of the following: (1) a Long Format for state grant recipients, the District of Columbia, and select territory grant recipients, and (2) a Short Format for tribal grant recipients and select territory grant recipients. OCS has updated the report to update gender collected data to denote sex as a biological variable in current approved information collection requests to comply with recent Presidential directives.

Abstract

The SOAR (Stop, Observe, Ask, Respond) to Health and Wellness Training (SOAR) Demonstration Grant Program was developed in response to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-386), § 106(b), as amended (22 U.S.C. 7104(b)(1) and 22 U.S.C. 7105(b)(1)(B), which calls on agencies to “increase public awareness of the dangers of trafficking and the protections that are available for victims of trafficking” and provide “services to assist potential victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons.” The program’s goal is to fund the implementation of SOAR trainings and capacity building efforts to identify, treat, and respond to patients or clients who have experienced severe forms of human trafficking as defined by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, as amended, among their patient or client population. SOAR is a nationally recognized, accredited training program delivered by OTIP’s National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC) and designed to help target audiences identify and respond to those who are at risk of, are currently experiencing, or have experienced trafficking and connect them with needed resources. This information collection will enable OTIP to measure grant project performance, provide technical assistance to grant recipients, assess program outcomes, inform program evaluation, respond to congressional inquiries and mandated reports, including required contributions to the annual Attorney General’s Annual Report to Congress on U.S. Government Activities to Combat Trafficking in Persons. 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 recent presidential directives.

Abstract

The Mental Health Assessment Form was approved by OMB on September 16, 2023, as part of the Mental Health Asessment Form, Public Health Investigation Form: Active TB, and Public Health Investigation Form: Non-TB Illness Form information collection. The purpose of the Mental Health Assessment is to collect standardized health information on unaccompanied children during evaluations with mental health providers. The following two Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) information collections capture health data on children in ORR care: • Medical Assessment Form and Dental Assessment Form • Mental Health Assessment Form and Public Health Investigation Form: Active TB, and Public Health Investigation Form: Non-TB Illness. ORR has recently identified a specific need to share data collected on ORR’s health assessment forms that falls outside of the stated limitations with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The need to communicate with DHS occurs when a newly referred child arrives at an ORR facility ill or requires emergent/urgent healthcare services shortly after placement and ORR was not notified in advance. For DHS to investigate the event, ORR must share confidential and sensitive health information including the child’s alien number, name, signs/symptoms, diagnoses, and date of diagnosis. The goal of this data sharing effort is to identify areas of potential improvement in delivery of healthcare services and continuity of care for children transferred from DHS to HHS custody. 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 recent presidential directives.

Abstract

The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Re¬conciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) amended the Social Security Act and created the opportunity under §412 for Federally recognized Indian Tribes to design and operate their own Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Tribal TANF) programs. Subject to approval by the Federal government of their plans, Tribes can receive block grants from the Federal government for this purpose (Tribal grantees). Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations are defined by PRWORA as having (except for Alaska) the meaning given such terms by section 4 of the Indian Self - Determina¬tion and Educa¬tion Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450b). For Alaska, the non-profit arms of the Alaskan Native Corporations and the Metlakatla Indian Community, Annette Island Reserve are specified as the only entities eligible to be Tribal TANF grantees. Section 412(g) of PRWORA imposed on Tribal grantees the data collection and reporting requirements of §411. Section 411(a)(1)(A) specifies the data items to be reported. Additional data collection requirements are imposed by §407 (work participation requirements) as modified by §412(c) ('negotiated' Minimum Work Participation Requirements and Time Limits) and §411(b) (Report to Congress). The data are used to assess Tribal TANF programs to determine if Tribal grantees have met their negotiated work participation rates and to meet Congressional mandated requirements of §411(a)(1)(A) of PRWORA. The data are also used to measure impacts of Tribal TANF for research and program improvement and to provide descriptions of the populations served, which are published annually on OFA’s website and in TANF’s annual report to Congress. Pursuant to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Initial Guidance Regarding Executive Order Defending Women provided on January 29, 2025, OFA proposes a few minor changes to the Tribal TANF Data Report Instructions to ensure alignment with OPM guidance. We are requesting expedited approval of these minor changes.
