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 September 22, 2026.

Declaration for Federal Employment (OF 306)

Key Information

Abstract

The Declaration for Federal Employment Optional Form (OF) 306 is completed by applicants who are under consideration for Federal or Federal contract employment. It collects information about an applicant's selective service registration, military service, and general background. The information collected on this form is mainly used to determine a person's acceptability for Federal and Federal contract employment, and his or her retirement status and life insurance enrollment. The information on this form may be used in conducting an investigation to determine a person's suitability or ability to hold a security clearance, and it may be disclosed to authorized officials making similar, subsequent determinations. The OF 306 asks for personal identifying data and information about violations of the law past convictions, imprisonments, probations, parole, military court martial, delinquency on a Federal debt, Selective Service Registration, United States military service, Federal civilian or military retirement benefits received or applied for, and life insurance enrollment. Finally, the Fair Chance Act regulations will outline adverse action procedures that will apply when it is alleged that an agency employee has violated the requirements and appeal procedures that will be available from a determination by OPM adverse to the Federal employee. OPM is proposing these changes to implement the Fair Chance to Compete for Jobs Act of 2019 (Fair Chance Act). With some exceptions, the Fair Chance Act prohibits Federal agencies and Federal contractors acting on their behalf from requesting that an applicant for Federal employment disclose criminal history record information before the agency makes a conditional offer of employment to that applicant.

Key Information

Abstract

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requests the approval of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a revision and extension of the existing collection of information under OMB Control Number 0648-0373 for Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Vessel and Gear Marking. Regulations at 50 CFR part 635.6 require that vessels for which a permit has been issued under section 635.4, other than an HMS Angling permit, must display the vessel’s official U.S. Coast Guard or state registration number. Vessels using handline, buoy gear, harpoon, longline, or gillnet gear, must also display the vessel’s name, registration number, or HMS permit number on each float or highflier attached to the gear. This revision will incorporate changes under a proposed rule (RIN 0648-BN52) that will expand the number of permit categories that are authorized to use buoy gear. Specifically, the proposed rule (0648-BN52) will expand the authorization to use buoy gear to vessels possessing an open access Swordfish General Commercial or Atlantic Tunas General category permit, thus necessitating a revision to the gear marking burden estimates covered by this information collection.

Moving to Work Demonstration

Key Information

Abstract

MTW is a long term demonstration program authorized in 1996 and recently expanded in 2016, which permits select PHAs to implement certain programmatic flexibilities to address local needs. PHAs submit application materials to HUD requesting authorization and describing their plans to implement MTW flexibilities. All PHAs are required to submit annual plans to HUD, however, PHAs with a Moving to Work demonstration designation, (39 at the time of submission of this request) must submit an Annual MTW Plan and Annual MTW Report in lieu of the standard 5-year plan and annual update. In 2013, revisions were made to this 50900 form to streamline the process of Agencies submitting required Annual Plan and Report Data to HUD so that the Department is able to better respond to Congressional and other inquiries regarding outcome measures obtained and promising practices learned throughout the duration of the demonstration. This 2017 revision of the Form makes a variety of minor refinements to improve clarity and usability, based on the experiences of HUD and PHAs with the form over the last 3 years.

Equal Credit Opportunity Act (Regulation B)

Key Information

Abstract

Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”) was enacted to ensure that credit is made available to all creditworthy applicants without discrimination on the basis of sex, marital status, race, color, religion, national origin, age, or other prohibited bases under the ECOA. The ECOA allows for creditors to collect information for self-testing against these criteria, while not allowing creditors to use this information in making credit decisions of applicants. For certain mortgage applications, the ECOA requires creditors to ask for some of the prohibited information for monitoring purposes. In addition, for certain mortgage applications, creditors are required to send a copy of any appraisal or written valuation used in the application process to the applicant in a timely fashion. In 2010, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act. Section 1071 of that Act amended ECOA to require that financial institutions collect and report to the CFPB certain data regarding applications for credit for women-owned, minority-owned, and small businesses. Section 1071’s statutory purposes are to (1) facilitate enforcement of fair lending laws, and (2) enable communities, governmental entities, and creditors to identify business and community development needs and opportunities of women-owned, minority-owned, and small businesses. Section 1071 specifies a number of data points that financial institutions are required to collect and report, and also provides authority for the CFPB to require any additional data that the CFPB determines would aid in fulfilling section 1071’s statutory purposes. Section 1071 also contains a number of other requirements, including those that address restricting the access of underwriters and other persons to certain data; recordkeeping; and publication of small business lending data. In addition, section 1071 permits the CFPB to modify or delete data prior to publication if it determines that such a deletion or modification would advance a privacy interest. ECOA also prescribes that creditors inform applicants of decisions made on credit applications. In particular, where creditors make adverse actions on credit applications or existing accounts, creditors must inform consumers as to why the adverse action was taken, such that credit applicants can challenge errors or learn how to become more creditworthy. Creditors must retain all application information for 25 months, including notices they sent and any information related to adverse actions. ECOA requires creditors who furnish applicant information to a consumer reporting agency to reflect participation of the applicant’s spouse, if the spouse if permitted to use or contractually liable on the account. Section 1071 specifies a number of data points that financial institutions are required to collect and report, and also provides authority for the CFPB to require any additional data that the CFPB determines would aid in fulfilling section 1071’s statutory purposes. Section 1071 also contains a number of other requirements, including those that address restricting the access of underwriters and other persons to certain data, recordkeeping, and publication of small business lending data. Additionally, section 1071 permits the CFPB to modify or delete data prior to publication if it determines that such a deletion or modification would advance a privacy interest. Section 1071 is implemented in subpart B of Regulation B (Sections 1002.101-1002.114), which the CFPB published in 2023Emergency Justfication:We are NOT requesting an Emergency review of this collection. However, due to ROCIS System limitations it was impossible to submit this collection without checking this category. This is intended to be a regular approval request.

Abstract

The purpose of this ICR is for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to collect information to implement the Medicare Part D Drug Inflation Rebate Program as proposed in CY 2026 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) proposed rule. Specifically, section 1860D 14B(b)(1)(B) of the Act requires that beginning with plan year 2026, CMS shall exclude from the total number of units for a Part D rebatable drug, with respect to an applicable period, those units for which a manufacturer provides a discount under the 340B Program. In the CY 2026 PFS proposed rule, CMS proposed to establish a 340B repository to receive voluntary submissions from covered entities of certain data elements from Part D 340B claims to allow CMS to assess such data for use in identifying units of Part D rebatable drugs for which a manufacturer provides a discount under the 340B Program in a future applicable period. CMS proposed to allow covered entities to submit data on units of Part D rebatable drugs for which a manufacturer provides a discount under the 340B Program beginning in 2026 to begin testing the usability of the 340B repository. This ICR will enable CMS to collect information to implement this voluntary collection.

Distraction: Modern Voice Command Interfaces

Key Information

Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is proposing new research involving the collection of information from the public to understand the effects of voice command interfaces (VCIs) on driver performance, distraction, and cognitive workload via a driving simulator study. VCIs allow drivers to verbally request actions (e.g., send a text) or information (e.g., what is the weather forecast for today), which can be initiated with either a spoken phrase (e.g., “Hey Google”) or button presses. This study will compare VCI use to visual-manual interface use, particularly during safety-critical driving situations. A visual-manual interface refers to any system where a user interacts by looking at something (visual) and manipulating it with their hands (manual). Driver performance, distraction, and cognitive workload will be assessed using data collected from a driving simulator, eye tracker, electrocardiogram (ECG), and tactile detection response task (TDRT). The overall objective of this information collection request is to advance the state of knowledge regarding the use of VCIs in vehicles by comparing common tasks executed across different VCI systems, and across different input methods (VCI vs. visual-manual input).

The National Center for Education Evaluation (NCEE) at the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) within the U.S. Department of Education (ED) requests clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to conduct new data collection activities for the Shaping the Future of Loan Repayment: Participation and Repayment Progress in Federal Student Loan Plans study. Little information exists on what borrowers understand about how repayment plan features such as longer repayment period, forgiveness, a payment cap, an interest subsidy, or income-driven monthly payment, affect aspects of repayment and how borrowers may prioritize these different plan features. Improving the borrower repayment experience requires understanding how borrowers choose repayment plans, including their understanding of available options, comprehension of plan features and how those features affect their ability to pay back their loans, and the priorities that guide their decisions. In this study, ED seeks to understand which borrowers do and do not enroll in IDR plans, why they do so, how long they stay in their plans, their repayment behaviors, and other household finance and life course outcomes, as feasible. The 60-day Federal Register notice was published on March 19, 2026, Vol. 91., No. 53 page 13297. Four comments were received on the study’s recruitment and proposed data collection plan. No comments expressed opposition to or concerns about the proposed data collection. Broadly, commenters emphasized the importance of acknowledging broader factors in the framing for the study and highlighted the need to account for the diversity of borrowers and their complex repayment experiences in sampling, recruitment, and interview methods. After reviewing the public comments, the study team revised selected measures of household financial circumstances in the interview protocol. No changes are recommended to the IDR sampling plan, recruitment strategy, data collection plan, or the analytic focus. This request covers telephone/virtual interviews with federal student loan borrowers in repayment. This is the first and only request for the collection of data for this study.
