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 August 6, 2026.

Standardized Permit for RCRA Hazardous Waste Management Facilities (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

Under the authority of sections 3004, 3005, 3008 and 3010 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revised the RCRA hazardous waste permitting program to allow a “standardized permit”. The standardized permit is available to facilities that generate hazardous waste and routinely manage the waste on-site in non-thermal units such as tanks, containers, and containment buildings. In addition, the standardized permit is available to facilities that receive hazardous waste generated off-site by a generator under the same ownership as the receiving facility and then store or non-thermally treat the hazardous waste in containers, tanks, or containment buildings. The RCRA standardized permit consists of two components: a uniform portion that is included in all cases, and a supplemental portion that the Director of a regulatory agency would include at his or her discretion. The uniform portion would consist of terms and conditions, relevant to the unit(s) at the permitted facility, and would be established on a national basis.

National and State Survey of Child & Adolescent Well-Being (NSSCAW): Site Recruitment and Baseline Data Collection

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval to: recruit a non-random (purposively) selected set of states and randomly selected set of county child welfare agencies (CWAs) within those states to participate in the National and State Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSSCAW); sample cases from participating states and CWAs who agree to participate in NSSCAW; and collect survey data from sampled children and their caregivers. NSSCAW prioritizes questions that can inform states and their partners about how to better support the health and well-being of children and families, prevent the need for foster care, and promote the recruitment and retention of safe and stable foster homes. NSSCAW is the only source of firsthand information about the well-being and service needs of children and families who come to the attention of the CWS, including foster and kin caregivers.

Foreign Purchaser Acknowledgment Statement of Unregistered Pesticides (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR addresses the information collection activities associated with the mandate in section 17(a)(2) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which requires an exporter of any pesticide not registered under FIFRA section 3 or sold under FIFRA section 6(a)(1) to obtain a signed statement from the foreign purchaser acknowledging that the purchaser is aware that the pesticide is not registered for use in, and cannot be sold in, the United States. A copy of this statement, which is known as the Foreign Purchaser Acknowledgement Statement, or FPAS, must be transmitted by EPA to the Designated National Authority or appropriate official of the government in the importing country. This information is submitted to EPA via mail or electronically through the Central Data Exchange (CDX) in the form of annual or per-shipment statements. EPA maintains original records and transmits copies, along with an explanatory letter, via email to appropriate government officials of the countries that are importing the pesticide. In addition to the export notification for unregistered pesticides, FIFRA requires that all exported pesticides include appropriate labeling. There are different requirements for registered and unregistered products. The export labeling requirements meet the definition of third-party notification. This ICR includes burden estimates for the FPAS requirement for unregistered pesticides, as well as the labeling requirement for all exported pesticides, both registered and unregistered. The burden estimates for export labeling requirements have been consolidated in this ICR since the implementation of the 1993 pesticide export policy governing the export of pesticides, devices, and active ingredients used in producing pesticides, codified in 40 CFR part 168, subpart D.

Performance Evaluation Studies on Wastewater Laboratories (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

Discharge Monitoring Report-Quality Assurance (DMR-QA) study program participation is mandatory for major and selected minor National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit holders in accordance with Clean Water Act Section 308. The DMR-QA study program is designed to evaluate the analytical ability of the laboratories that perform chemical, microbiological and whole effluent toxicity (WET) analyses required in the NPDES permits for reporting results in Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR). Under DMR-QA, the permit holder is responsible for having their in-house and/or contract laboratories perform proficiency tests and submit results for grading by proficiency test (PT) providers. Graded results are transmitted by either the permittee or PT provider to the appropriate federal or state NPDES regulatory authority. Permit holders are responsible for submitting corrective action reports to the appropriate regulatory authority when results are unsatisfactory.

Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) Program Annual Performance Report

Key Information

Abstract

Veterans Upward Bound (VUB), one of the U.S. Department of Education’s Upward Bound programs, is designed to motivate and assist veterans in developing academic and other requisite skills necessary for acceptance and success in a program of postsecondary education. The program provides assessment and enhancement of basic skills through counseling, mentoring, tutoring and academic instruction in the core subject areas. The primary goal of the program is to increase the rate at which participants enroll in and complete postsecondary education programs. All Veterans Upward Bound projects must provide instruction in mathematics through pre-calculus, laboratory science, foreign language, composition, and literature. Projects may also provide short-term remedial or refresher courses for veterans who are high school graduates but have delayed pursuing postsecondary education. Projects are also expected to assist veterans in securing support services from other locally available resources such as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, veterans’ associations, and other state and local agencies that serve veterans. The Department’s annual performance report (APR) for VUB collects each current grantee’s data at the participant level on services and performance over the course of a year. The Department uses the information conveyed in the performance report to assess a grantee’s progress in meeting its approved goals and objectives and to evaluate a grantee’s prior experience in accordance with the program regulations in 34 CFR 645.32. Grantees’ annual performance reports also provide information on the outcomes of projects’ work and of the VUB program as a whole. In addition, APR data allows the Department to respond to the reporting requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act.

Research Permit and Reporting System Applications and Reports (36 CFR 2.1 and 2.5)

Key Information

Abstract

NPS policy requires anyone conducting research or collecting specimens in a national park - other than NPS employees working on official duties - to obtain an NPS scientific research and collecting permit. These permits are required because federal regulations (36 CFR 2.1 and 36 CFR 2.5) protect park resources and govern how research and specimen collection may occur. NPS uses a permitting system for scientific research and collecting. People who want to conduct natural or social science research in a park submit either Form 10 741A (Scientific Research and Collecting Permit Application) or Form 10 741B (Science Education Permit Application). Permit holders must then report their work using the Investigator’s Annual Report (Form 10 226), the Field Work Check in Report (Form 10 741C), and the Field Work Check out Report (Form 10 741D)

Confidential Business Information Claims under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

EPA is renewing the information collection concerning the assertion and maintenance of claims of business confidentiality (also known as Confidential Business Information or CBI) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601, et seq. The Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, Pub. L. 114182 referred to in this Notice as Lautenberg), made significant amendments to TSCA including new provisions governing the assertion of CBI claims and requirements concerning Agency review and treatment of confidentiality claims. Among the changes to TSCA are new provisions on EPA review, submitter maintenance, time limitations for CBI claims, and an option to extend confidentiality claims for up to 10 additional years. 40 CFR 703 specifies Agency procedures for reviewing and communicating with TSCA submitters about confidentiality claims, including requirements for submitters to maintain contact information, procedures EPA will use to provide notices to submitters concerning their claims, and the manner in which EPA will notify submitters concerning the impending expiration of certain claims.

The collection of the data such as full legal name, address, phone, social security number, birthdate, place of birth, country of citizenship is required to input into the USDA system of record, Empower Human Resources (EmpowHR), so that upon submission, it conforms to the data requirements set forth by USAccess. Please see Appendix B FNS 775 EmpowHR/Person Model which shows the required biographic data to be collected for system input. Legal authority for gathering of data fields mentioned above comes from the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (Appendix A Legal Authority). The Directive references HSPD-12 as the chosen standard for data collection for employees and contractors. HSPD-12 was issued on August 12, 2004 and calls for a mandatory, government-wide standard for secure and reliable ID for all of its employees and contractors to access federally-controlled facilities and networks. Based upon this directive, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) developed Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS Pub) 201. USDA’s LincPass card is designed to link a person’s identity to an ID credential and the credential to a person’s ability to physically and logically access federally controlled buildings and information systems, respectively. Authorizing statute includes 731.106(c)(2).

Community Right-to-Know Reporting Requirements Under Sections 311 and 312 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is for the reporting requirements of sections 311 and 312 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 [42 U.S.C 11011 and § 11012], as codified in 40 CFR part 370. The EPCRA Statute was authorized by Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA Title III) [42 U.S.C 11042] to help communities plan for chemical emergencies. The information collected affiliated with this ICR is submitted by each facility to its State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), and the fire department with jurisdiction; the EPA does not receive, collect, or maintain a collection of this information. Note that Tribal Emergency Response Commissions (TERCs) are a form of SERC, and any Tribal Emergency Planning Committees (TEPCs) are a form of a LEPC. This ICR renews ICR 1352.16, which is currently approved under OMB Control No. 2050-0072 through August 31, 2026. These sections of EPCRA require that facilities, which are subject to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), submit reports notifying their state and local implementing agencies of the presence of hazardous chemicals used or stored on-site at or above the thresholds specified in 40 CFR 370.10. Exemptions to the OSHA HCS are at 29 CFR 1910.1200(b)(6). Further, EPCRA provides exemptions to its definitions of a hazardous chemical in section 311(e) [42 U.S.C. 11001(e)] as codified at 40 CFR 370.13. See Appendix A for the list of exemptions provided under the OSHA HCS and EPCRA. Section 311 [42 U.S.C. 11001] as codified at 40 CFR 370.30 – 370.33 requires facilities to submit Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) or a list of their chemicals present on-site. The EPCRA section 311 reporting is a one-time report, with updates required if significant new information is discovered, new hazardous chemicals are present on sites above the reporting thresholds, or the LEPC makes a request of the facility. The deadline for initial submittal was October 17, 1987, new facilities that become subject to the regulation or existing facilities with new information have three months to comply with the reporting requirements. Facilities do not submit section 311 information to the EPA. Section 312 [42 U.S.C. 11002] as codified at 40 CFR 370.40 – 370.45 requires facilities, that are subject to section 311, submit an annual hazardous chemical inventory form. The EPA is required to publish two emergency and hazardous chemical inventory forms (i.e., Tier I Form and Tier II Form). The Tier I Form provides the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with the section and the Tier II Form provides chemical specific information. No state accepts the Tier I Form. All states require the use of the Tier II form, or a state equivalent form. These forms provide state and local emergency planners and first responders and the communities with information regarding the chemical hazards at these facilities. The deadline for initial submission was March 1, 1988, with annual submissions required by March 1 of each year for the prior calendar year’s chemical inventory. Facilities do not submit section 312 information to the EPA.

Educational Opportunity Centers Program (EOC) Annual Performance Report

Key Information

Abstract

The Department of Education (ED) collects Annual Performance Reports (APRs) from Educational Opportunity Centers (EOC) grantees under the authority of Title IV, Part A, Subpart 2, Division 1, Sections 402A and 402B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, the program regulations in 34 CFR 644, and the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), in 34 CFR 74.51, 75.720, and 75.732. The information that grantees submit in their APRs allows ED to annually assess each grantee's progress in meeting their project's approved goals and objectives. The APR data that grantees submit are compared with the projects' approved objectives to determine the projects' accomplishments, to make decisions regarding whether funding should be continued, and to award "prior experience" points. The regulations for this program provide for awarding up to 15 points for prior experience (34 CR 644.22). During a competition for new grant awards, the prior experience points are added to the average of the peer reviewers' scores to arrive at a total score for each application. Funding recommendations and decisions are primarily based on the rank order of applications on the slate; therefore, assessment of prior experience points, based on data in the annual performance report, is a crucial part of the overall application process. Further, this performance report form is the main source of data for the Department's response to the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) for this program. In addition, the Department uses the annual performance reports to produce program level data for annual reporting, budget submissions to OMB, Congressional hearings and inquiries, and responding to inquiries from higher education interest groups and the general public. EOC APRs are prepared and submitted by EOC grant projects. For each EOC grant project, the grant project director of record completes, or supervises the completion of the data submission process. The grant project director supervises the administration of an EOC grant. An EOC grant provides counseling and information on college admissions to qualified adults who want to enter or continue a program of postsecondary education. The program also provides services to improve the financial and economic literacy of participants. An important objective of the program is to counsel participants on financial aid options, including basic financial planning skills, and to assist in the application process. The goal of the EOC program is to increase the number of adult participants who enroll in postsecondary education institutions.

ICE Flight Manifest/Billing Agreement

Key Information

Abstract

OMB Circular A-126, Subject: Improving the Management and Use of Government Aircraft (May 22, 1992), requires that government agencies that fly non-official passengers in a Space Available status charge them the “full coach fare” cost of their seat on the government aircraft. Circular A-126 defines “full coach fare” as “a coach fare available to the general public between the day that the travel was planned and the day that the travel occurred.” Id. ¶ 4f. To properly bill these passengers, ICE must set up accounts receivable in the Federal Financial Management System (FFMS). Accounts receivable must be based on legally valid debts. The Flight Manifest/Billing Agreement (FM/BA) form will collect the contact information needed to send bills to these passengers from FFMS, and will document their agreement to be billed for their seats on these flights. The ICE Flight Manifest Information/Agreement To Reimburse form is used to collect information from members of the public, contractors, Federal employees, or dependents who intend to board ICE-chartered aircraft for purposes of evacuation. The purposes of the data collected on this form are two-fold. First, ICE will verify the individual’s identity before he/she boards an ICE-chartered aircraft to assess the safety of the aircraft, its crew, other passengers, and the United States. Further, the data collected on the form is also used in the event of an emergency to help ensure timely notification of points of contact designated by the passenger. Second, the form will confirm the agreement of Space Available passengers to be billed for their travel, and establish the names, addresses, and Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) for billing and collection purposes. The ICE Senior Field Official(s) at the airfield of embarkation will collect pertinent data for flight manifest information from all persons wishing to fly on an ICE-chartered aircraft prior to their boarding of the aircraft. Only passengers flying in a Space Available status, that is, private persons not on official government travel orders, will be required to complete the relevant fields on the form stating the reason for Space Available travel and requesting their signature to document their agreement to be billed for their travel. In special emergency situations, the form may be completed in-flight. The ICE Senior Field Official(s) will then submit the completed forms and the flight manifest to the program office that chartered the flight and to the Emergency Management Unit via email, as soon as practicable upon completion of the flight.

Revision of a currently approved collection
FERC-725E: Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Western Electric Coordinating Council (RD26-5)

Key Information

Abstract

RD26-5 Retirement of BAL-002-WECC-3 (Contingency Reserve) - requires balancing authorities and reserve sharing groups to document compliance with the contingency reserve requirements described in the standard. The retirement of Regional Reliability Standard BAL-002-WECC-3 would increase the availability of reserves currently held as excess Contingency Reserves to better support system operations and manage variable generation concerns.30 Retirement would also increase the restoration timeframe for Contingency Reserves after a contingency event occurs and increase an entity’s ability to secure additional resources. Bulk-Power System reliability would continue to be maintained through the continent-wide Reliability Standard BAL-002-3 by requiring sufficient Contingency Reserves are maintained and a restoration timeframe that is compatible with market scheduling practices. FERC-725E is the information collection that is required to implement the statutory provisions of section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824o). Section 215 of the FPA buttresses the Commission's efforts to strengthen the reliability of the interstate grid through the grant of new authority by providing for a system of mandatory Reliability Standards developed by the Electric Reliability Organization (ERO). The FERC 725E information collection pertains specifically to the Western Electric Coordinating Council (WECC). WECC promotes bulk electric system reliability in the Western Interconnection. WECC is the Regional Entity responsible for compliance monitoring and enforcement. In addition, WECC provides an environment for the development of Reliability Standards and the coordination of the operating and planning activities of its members as set forth in the WECC Bylaws. For the purposes of the extension, the following standards will remain unchanged: BAL-004-WECC-3 (Automatic Time Error Correction) - requires balancing authorities to document that time error corrections and primary inadvertent interchange payback were conducted according to the requirements in the standard. FAC-501-WECC-2 (Transmission Maintenance) - requires transmission owners with certain transmission paths to have a transmission maintenance and inspection plan and to document maintenance and inspection activities according to the plan. IRO-006-WECC-3 (Qualified Transfer Path Unscheduled Flow (USF) Relief) - requires balancing authorities and reliability coordinators to document actions taken to mitigate unscheduled flow. VAR-501-WECC-4 (Power System Stabilizers (PSS)) requires the Western Interconnection is operated in a coordinated manner under normal and abnormal conditions by establishing the performance criteria for WECC power system stabilizers.
