OMB Control Number

Overview
When the Office of Management and Budget approves an information collection under the Paper Reduction Act of 1995, it assigns an OMB Control Number that the agency must display on the information collection.

The OMB Control Number is two four-digit codes separated by a hyphen. The first four digits identify the sponsoring agency and bureau, and the second four digits identify the particular collection. The public can find OMB’s inventory of currently approved collections, with OMB Control Numbers here.
