Streamline Monitoring of Information Collection Notices with FedMonitor
The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) governs the Federal government’s collection, use, and dissemination of information. The goals of the PRA include minimizing paperwork and reporting burdens on the public, and ensuring the maximum utility from information that is collected. Agencies request approval of Information Collection Requests (ICR) through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). An information collection may be a form, a survey, or a script. ICRs are published for public review in two stages, providing first a 60-day public comment period and then, after OMB review, an additional 30-day comment period. When OMB approves an information collection, it assigns an OMB Control Number that the agency must display on the information collection.

Monitoring Information Collection Notices in the Federal Register is crucial for various professionals, including compliance officers, educators, state agency officials, grant writers, and program managers. These stakeholders must stay informed about the latest federal requirements to ensure compliance, adapt quickly to policy changes, and participate in relevant public comment periods.
Understanding Information Collection Notices
Information Collection Notices are governed by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). This federal law ensures the U.S. government collects, uses, and disseminates information efficiently, aiming to minimize paperwork burdens on the public while maximizing the utility of collected data. The process involves agencies submitting Information Collection Requests (ICRs) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval.
An ICR can manifest as a form, survey, or script, and is published for public review in two stages:
- A 60-day public comment period.
- A subsequent 30-day comment period after OMB review.
Once approved, the collection receives an OMB Control Number that must be visible on the associated documents.
Why It Matters
For compliance officers and program managers, staying updated with these notices is essential to ensure adherence to federal regulations and to preemptively address potential compliance issues. Educators and grant writers can leverage this information to align educational programs or grant proposals with federal priorities.
Recent Trends and Regulatory Impacts
Staying ahead of regulatory changes is increasingly critical in fields such as healthcare, environmental management, education, and tech. Recent trends indicate a growing emphasis on digital data collection methods, reducing paperwork but requiring careful attention to new digital compliance requirements.

- Education Institutions: To align curricula and research proposals with national education priorities.
