Not by ICANN? https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db

The ICANN root zone only contains gTLDs and ccTLDs which are delegated. Other TLDs which are explicitly reserved for non-public use, like .localhost, .test, or .invalid, don't appear on that list either.

I think a more correct place to look at would be the gTLD Applicant Guidebook[1][2], section "2.2.1.2.1 Reserved Names", which I guess should be updated to now include "INTERNAL".

Though that list apparently includes all reserved names, not only those reserved for non-public use.
