Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
ICR Definition
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.
Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify, or discontinue 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.
ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.

NSPS for Oil and Natural Gas Production and Natural Gas Transmission and Distribution (40 CFR part 60, subpart OOOO) (Renewal)
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes42 USC 7411 (View Law) AbstractThe New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Oil and Natural Gas Production and Natural Gas Transmission and Distribution (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOOO) apply to oil and natural gas facilities that commence construction, modification or reconstruction after August 23, 2011 and on or before September 19, 2015, that are involved in the extraction and production of oil and natural gas, as well as the processing, transmission, and distribution of natural gas. The June 2016 final rule established a new subpart (40 CFR 60, Subpart OOOOa) to set new standards for emissions of GHGs and VOCs for affected facilities in the crude oil and natural gas source category that commence construction, modification, or reconstruction after September 18, 2015. These amendments also included revisions to improve implementation of the NSPS subpart OOOO to address issues raised in administrative reconsideration petitions submitted on both the August 16, 2012 NSPS and the September 13, 2013 amendments. These implementation improvements did not change the requirements for operations and equipment covered by the current standards at subpart OOOO. The information collection requirements of the NSPS (40 CFR 60, Subpart OOOOa) and associated burden are addressed in EPA ICR Number 2523.02. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. |

Annual Report of Class I and Class II Motor Carriers of Property (OMB 2139-0004)
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing StatutesPub.L. 104 - 88 109 Stat. 803, 852 (View Law) 49 USC 14123 (View Law) AbstractThe purpose of this request is to renew the currently OMB approved ICR and update the annual burden hour estimate. Form M is required to collect financial, operating, equipment, and employment data from individual motor carriers of property and household goods. All for-hire (common and contract) motor carriers of property with gross annual operating revenue of $3 million or more must file the annual report Form M. Form MP-1 is required to collect financial, operating, equipment, and employment data from individual motor carriers of passengers. All Class I for-hire motor carriers of passengers with gross annual operating revenues of $5 million or more are required to file the annual report Form MP-1. FMCSA has created electronic forms that may be prepared, signed electronically, and submitted to FMCSA via https://ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/ask/. However, forms can still be mailed to FMCSA. The data collected is available to users in its original form. The data are not used by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and, based on a comment to a proposed rule finalized on December 17, 2013 (78 FR 76241), the data are no longer used by trucking associations. The agency is also considering how it might remove some of this reporting requirement, consistent with statue, through a separate rulemaking, but the agency needs to renew the Collection of Information now while that process plays out. Insurance companies, consultants, law firms, academia, trade publications and others may use the data to assess industry growth and its impact on the economy, to identify industry changes that may affect national transportation, and to monitor company financial stability. In the past, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) used the data to inform the national annual input-output and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates, to prepare estimates of industry output, and to provide details on inputs to supplement the information on motor carriers of passengers collected by the U.S. Census Bureau. FMCSA is not aware of anyone currently using this information. FMCSA does not use the information collected through either Form M or Form MP-1, nor does it enforce the filing requirements found in part 369. The Agency was not provided the necessary resources to administer the data collection and the financial reports are of little if any value in fulfilling the Agency’s safety mission. FMCSA estimates that the annual burden hour for this information collection has decreased by approximately 78 hours due to decreased Form M and Form MP-1 submissions received by the Agency between 2018 and 2020. |

Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes42 USC 7201 et seq (View Law) AbstractThe National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Steel Pickling, HCl Process Facilities and Hydrochloric Acid Regeneration Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCC) were proposed on September 18, 1997, promulgated on June 22, 1999, and amended on September 19, 2012 and November 19, 2020. This rule applies to all facilities that pickle steel using hydrochloric acid (HCl) or regenerate hydrochloric acid and are either major sources or part of a facility that is a major source. This regulation does not apply to any pickling line that uses an acid other than hydrochloric acid or an acid solution containing either less than 6 percent hydrochloric acid or at a temperature less than 100 F. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCC. |

Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes15 USC 3301-3432 (View Law) 15 USC 717c, 717d, 717o (View Law) AbstractThe FERC-542 contains the following information collections: (1) Research, development, and deployment expenditures; (2) annual charge adjustments (ACA) and (3) periodic rate adjustments. The Natural Gas Act (NGA) requires FERC to regulate the transmission and sale of natural gas for resale in interstate commerce and to ensure the rates jurisdictional natural gas pipelines charge are just and reasonable. It provides FERC with authority to implement NGA mandates through its rules and regulations. FERC allows jurisdictional pipelines to flow through to their customers such costs as fuel or electric power costs necessary to operate compressor stations as well as the costs of storage services; research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) expenditures and FERC annual charge adjustment (ACA) assessments. To ensure these charges result in just and reasonable rates, FERC requires jurisdictional pipelines to file detailed and summary information on these flowed costs in the FERC-542. Analyses of FERC-542 data helps the Commission evaluate the charges to ensure compliance with NGA rate requirements. |
