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.
Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

Public Transportation Safety Certification Training Program (PTSCTP)
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
This is a request for an extension without change of a currently approved information collection (OMB# 2132-0578) “Public Transportation Safety Certification Training Program (PTSCTP)”. There have been no programmatic or statutory changes or requirements since the last OMB submission. Therefore there are no changes to the respondents, responses or annual burden hours. This is a mandatory information collection. Through the PTSCTP, FTA provides minimum training requirements for Federal and State personnel and contractors who conduct safety audits and examinations of transit systems and for transit agency personnel and contractors who are directly responsible for safety oversight. The program respondents are Rail Transit Agencies (RTAs) and State Safety Oversight Agencies (SSOAs) who will forward training information to FTA on behalf of designated personnel. This requirement is necessary to assure that compliance with the requirements is properly and earnestly undertaken by respondents who are directly responsible for safety oversight of our Nation’s public transportation systems. The information collected allows the FTA to record completion of the required training and to ensure annual certification. |

Research to Support the Partnership on Inclusive Apprenticeship (PIA)
Key Information
Abstract
The Partnership on Inclusive Apprenticeship (PIA) focuses on engagement and outreach strategies to promote and implement inclusive practices within apprenticeship programs, such as those registered with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship. These strategies aim to enable individuals with disabilities, including working-age youth and adults ages 16-64, to gain credentials and skills to succeed in growing industries. PIA also seeks to glean federal and state policy options through such outreach and engagement, which includes several stakeholder engagement and outreach activities. The Office of Disability Employment Policy of DOL intends to design and conduct a process evaluation of the DOL-funded PIA. The goal of this four-year study is to build an understanding of the experiences, barriers, and successes of PIA during the implementation of the partnership. |

| 202201-2090-001 | Focus Groups As Used By EPA For Economics Projects (Renewal) | EPA/AdmO | 2022-01-26 | 2025-10-31 | Extension without change of a currently approved collection
Focus Groups As Used By EPA For Economics Projects (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking approval for a generic information collection request (ICR) for the conduct of focus groups and one-on-one interviews related to economics projects primarily for survey development. Focus groups are groups of individuals brought together for moderated discussions on a specific topic or issue. These groups are typically formed to gain insight and understanding of attitudes and perceptions held by the public surrounding an issue. One-on-one interviews, as the term implies, are individual interviews in which a respondent is generally asked to review materials and provide feedback on their content and design as well as the thought processes that the materials invoke. Focus groups and one-on-one interviews (hereafter referred to collectively as focus groups) used as a qualitative research tool have three major purposes: To better understand respondents attitudes, perceptions and emotions in response to specific topics and concepts; To obtain respondent information useful for better defining variables and measures in later quantitative studies; and To further explore findings obtained from quantitative studies. Through these focus groups, the Agency will be able to gain a more in-depth understanding of the publics attitudes, beliefs, motivations and feelings regarding specific issues and will provide invaluable information regarding the quality of draft survey instruments. Focus group discussions are necessary and important steps in the design of a quality survey. |

DoNation General Workplace Campaign Scorecard
Key Information
Abstract
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Health Systems Bureau, Division of Transplantation (DoT) administers the Hospital Campaign for Organ Donation under the authority of Section 377A(a) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. As part of its responsibility to conduct public education and outreach to increase the number of registered organ donors, HRSA launched the Workplace Partnership for Life Hospital Campaign in 2011, with a challenge to hospitals nationwide to conduct donor education and donor registry enrollment events in their facilities and communities. The purpose of the ‘DoNation’ General Workplace Campaign is to encourage other non-medical U.S. companies to conduct activities to increase organ donor registration. These workplaces’ support of organ donation is vital to HRSA’s efforts to increase donor registrations, as expanding the program outside of medical settings will broaden the pool of potential registered organ, eye, and tissue donors. The overall purpose of collecting this information is to incentivize and reward company, workplace, and Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) participation in the campaign, and to enable HRSA to obtain outcome data. Because participating in this campaign is voluntary, it is essential for HRSA to implement a methodology to engage workplaces, make participation as easy as possible, and recognize workplaces for their efforts and accomplishments. HRSA, together with its donation community partners, developed the Activity Scorecard for the Hospital Campaign that provides suggested outreach activities for hospitals to implement and a way to gather points for achieving recognition. The ‘DoNation’ General Workplace Campaign Activity Scorecard will motivate workplaces in a similar fashion. Without the Activity Scorecard, HRSA would not be able to recognize workplaces for their extra efforts in planning donor registration activities and registering new organ, eye, and tissue donors. |

Biorefinery, Renewable Chemical, and Biobased Product Manufacturing Assistance Program
Key Information
Abstract
The Biorefinery Assistance Program was authorized under Section 9003 of the 2008 Farm Bill. The program assists in the development, construction, and retrofitting of new and emerging technologies for the development of advanced biofuels by providing loan guarantees of up to $250 million. Section 9003 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (2014 Farm Bill) modifies various provisions of the program. In addition to renaming the program to "Biorefinery, Renewable Chemical, and Biobased Product Manufacturing Assistance Program," the 2014 Farm Bill requires several substantive changes. These changes are: • Expanding the program to include biorefineries that primarily produce renewable chemicals and/or biobased products; • Providing loan guarantees to stand-alone biobased product manufacturing facilities; • Defining renewable chemicals and biobased product manufacturing; and • Ensuring that there is diversity in the types of projects approved. This collection of information is necessary in order for Rural Development to identify projects eligible for loan guarantees under the Program. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), Rural Development is submitting this information collection package to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance. |

Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program: Applications for Subawards November Launch
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
To meet the goals and objectives that demonstrate the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPAs) and the Administrations commitment to achieving environmental justice and embedding environmental justice into Agency programs, the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program provides about $600 million in 11 cooperative agreements funding to Grantmakers who will function as pass-through entities for the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Subgrants (2 CFR Parts 200 and 1500). Each Grantmaker will collaborate with EPA to design and build their own processes to receive and evaluate applications to fund the initial development of community-led environmental justice projects.Emergency Justfication:With this Information Collection Request (ICR), EPA seeks emergency clearance by October 31, 2024 for six Grantmakers to solicit applications for their first round of subgrants to be launched in October 2024. EPA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the time between the Grantmakers receipt of their funding awards and the launch of their subaward programs (3 months) does not allow sufficient time to obtain PRA clearance using the standard ICR process (which typically takes 6-9 months). Collection of the information requested under this emergency clearance (i.e., applications) is essential for the Grantmakers to have a mechanism for selecting and distributing subaward grants to fund environmental justice projects in underserved communities, thus fulfilling the central objective of the program. The six-month emergency clearance period will cover the first round of subaward applications that will be solicited by six Grantmakers in October 2024. Subsequent rounds of applications for these six Grantmakers will be authorized via a Standard ICR package for the Grantmaking Program that will be submitted for review via the standard ICR approval process. |

Distribution Technology Capability Assessment
Key Information
Abstract
As the Balancing Authority of the region, TVA must ensure the electrical grid is reliable. With the growth of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) on the distribution system, TVA and the Local Power Companies (LPCs) must work in tighter coordination to ensure the DER generation does not impact the reliability of the bulk electric system. To support this goal, TVA must understand the current distribution capabilities of the LPCs. Examples of capabilities include but are not limited to customer analytics, advanced asset management, advanced AMI, automated switching, DER monitoring & control, grid planning and voltage optimization. To ease access and completion, information will be submitted online. Once collected, the information will be reviewed by TVA staff and consultants to determine each LPC’s state of and plan for system modernization and will inform strategic investment road maps and implementation plans that are being developed as part of the Regional Grid Transformation initiative. Summary level information will be provided to the participating LPCs to allow them to gauge where they stand in terms of their technical capabilities compared to their peers which could help give them useful information that informs their individual priorities and investment plans. |
