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.

| 202208-0648-007 | West Coast Region Non-Trawl Logbook Requirement (TEMP Collection) | DOC/NOAA | 2022-09-12 | 2025-12-31 | New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
West Coast Region Non-Trawl Logbook Requirement (TEMP Collection)
Key Information
Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) West Coast Region (WCR) is submitting a temporary new information collection request (ICR) for a federally mandated logbook requirement for non-trawl groundfish fisheries that occur in the exclusive economic zone off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. This temporary collection is necessary due to concurrent actions affecting OMB control number 0648-0782. This temporary ICR will later be merged with the existing ICR for the West Coast Groundfish Trawl Logbook (#0648-0782) once all actions are completed. Currently, the state of Oregon administers a fixed gear logbook, but no such reporting occurs in Washington or California fixed gear and other non-trawl fisheries, which only have partial observer coverage. A non-trawl logbook has broad applicability and utility for the management of the Pacific coast groundfish non-trawl fisheries. Data collected in a non-trawl logbook would contribute to stock assessments, inform managers about location-specific catch and discards on non-observed trips and vessels, support economic analysis, and provide effort information to quantify groundfish fishery effort to allow more precise estimation of bycatch of with Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed species, such as seabirds and humpback whales. In addition, implementation of a fixed gear logbook is a term and condition implementing Reasonable and Prudent Measure 4 of the 2017 Biological Opinion for Seabirds (FWS O1EOFWOO-2017-F-03 16). The Pacific Fishery Management Council’s (PFMC) ESA Workgroup has recommended a fixed gear logbook numerous times (June 2019; April 2017; June 2015). Finally, a fixed gear logbook would provide vital area-specific catch information to support potential future actions such as opening up areas of the non-trawl Rockfish Conservation Area (NT-RCA). |

Highly Migratory Species Dealer Reporting Family of Forms
Key Information
Abstract
This is a submission, with the final rule, of a request for revision of an existing information collection. The revision to this information collection package is due to two modifications to the dealer reporting requirements for the Individual Bluefin Quota (IBQ) reporting program that are being implemented by Amendment 13 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic HMS Fishery Management Plan (RIN 0648-BI08). First, Amendment 13 proposes to remove the requirement that bluefin tuna dead discard reports from pelagic longline vessel trips be submitted to the IBQ system via dealer reports. Second, Amendment 13 would eliminate the current requirement that vessel operators/owners enter the PIN associated with their vessel IBQ account to confirm that the landing report information entered into the IBQ System by the dealer is accurate. This revision will not change the estimated number of responses or burden for this collection. This information collection consists of a mandatory dealer reporting program for domestic landings and international trade of highly migratory species. Catch and trade monitoring is required under the provisions of the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act, Tunas Convention Act, and Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). Information collected through this program is essential for the United States to meet its reporting obligations to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission, Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna, and its management obligations under the MSA. |

National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP)
Key Information
Abstract
The USGS NGGDPP offers financial support to State geological agencies to create metadata that will describe sample sites for State geological surveys that have related site-specific data resources. The purpose of these data collections are to preserve and provide access to samples (and any related data) that have been extracted from the earth to improve the breadth of information that can be used to inform science and decision-making now and in the future. The USGS envisions a national network of cooperating geoscience materials and data repositories that are operated independently yet guided by common standards, procedures, and protocols for metadata. The holdings of all collections will be widely accessible through a common and mirrored Internet-based catalog, the National Digital Catalog. The holdings of the individual repositories will complement each other to preserve the geoscience assets of the Nation and serve as a comprehensive source of geoscience data and materials to serve national needs today and in the future. |

Commodity Container Assistance Program (CCAP)
Key Information
Abstract
The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is announcing the availability of funding for the new Commodity Container Assistance Program (CCAP) in response to ongoing market disruptions that have created logistical challenges associated with all aspects of the availability and flow of containers to transport agricultural commodities and are preventing or delaying American-grown agricultural products from reaching their markets. The first iteration of this program will be focused on increasing intermodal container capacity through partnerships with the Port of Oakland, in Oakland, California, and the Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA), a marine cargo operating partnership between the Port of Seattle and the Port of Tacoma in Washington State. Both the Port of Oakland and the NWSA have been identified as key gateways for American-grown agricultural products, and each have also experienced significant challenges with the flow of containerized agricultural commodities and products. To ensure owners of American-grown agricultural products are able to ship their products from U.S. ports to global markets, CCAP will support improved use of empty shipping containers, along with the prepositioning and temporary storage of filled shipping containers near export terminals, to ensure agricultural shippers can deliver products to their customers. |

2024 Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2024) Main Study Revision
Key Information
Abstract
The Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is an international survey of teachers and principals focusing on the working conditions of teachers and the teaching and learning practices in schools. The United States will administer TALIS for the third time in 2024, having participated in 2013 and 2018. TALIS 2024 is sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). TALIS is steered by the TALIS Governing Board (TGB), comprising representatives from the OECD member countries, and implemented internationally by organizations contracted by the OECD (referred to as the International consortium). In the U.S., TALIS 2024 is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education. TALIS 2024 is focused on teachers; professional environment, teaching conditions, and their impact on school and teacher effectiveness. TALIS 2024 will address teacher training and professional development, teacher appraisal, school climate, school leadership, instructional approaches, pedagogical practices, and teaching experience with and support for teaching diverse populations. OECD has scheduled the main study to occur in the Northern hemisphere from February through March 2024 and in the Southern hemisphere from June through August 2024. To prepare for the main study, several TALIS countries will conduct pilot studies in February 2022; the U.S. will not participate. Countries will also conduct a field test in the first quarter of 2023, primarily to evaluate newly developed questionnaire items and school recruitment materials; the U.S. will participate in the field test. To meet the international data collection schedule for the field test, U.S. recruitment activities need to begin by August 2022 and U.S. questionnaires must be finalized by December 2022. TALIS 2024 includes the core TALIS teacher and principal surveys that are required for each participating country, as well as an optional Teacher Knowledge Survey (TKS). The TKS is intended to better understand the teacher pedagogical knowledge base at the national level. The US is including the TKS in the upcoming TALIS 2024 field test and will evaluate these results to determine the feasibility of including TKS as part of the US Main Study. The previous submission (OMB #1850-0888 v.8) requested approval for: (1) recruitment and pre-survey activities for the 2023 field test sample; (2) administration of the field test; and (3) school recruitment and pre-survey activities for the 2024 main study sample. That package was approved in August 2022. This submission requests approval for the final international versions of the principal and teacher instruments approved for the TALIS 2024 Field Test. The final U.S. adaptations of the 2024 core TALIS and TKS field test questionnaires that will be administered in the TALIS 2024 U.S. Field Test will be submitted to OMB as a non-substantive change request in Winter 2022/23. |

Financial Responsibility for Licensed Launch Activities
Key Information
Abstract
This information collection mandate reported by those commercial space launch services providers seeking a license or permit, enables FAA/AST to determine the maximum probable loss (MPL) resulting from licensed or permitted launch activities. The information is collected once based on vehicle configuration, launch site, and flight trajectory that are introduced in the license or permit application. The collected information will be used to determine if licensees have complied with financial responsibility requirements for MPL analysis as set forth in FAA regulations (§ 440.7(c)). The FAA is responsible for determining MPL required to covered claims by a third party for bodily injury or property damage, and the United States, its agencies, and its contractors and subcontractors for covered property damage or loss, resulting from a Commercial space transportation permitted or licensed activity. The MPL determination forms the basis for financial responsibility requirements issued in a license or permit order. The licensee or permittee provides the MPL results to an insurance broker to purchase insurance for the license or permit mission. The following is a summary of the key information required to conduct an MPL: 1. Mission description. • Launch trajectory; • Orbital inclination; and • Orbit altitudes (apogee and perigee). 2. Flight sequence. 3. Staging events and the time for each event. 4. Impact locations. 5. Identification of the launch site facility, including the launch complex on the site, planned date of launch, and launch windows. 6. Launch vehicle description. • General description of the launch vehicle and its stages, including dimensions. • Description of major systems, including safety systems. • Description of rocket motors and type of fuel used. • Identification of all propellants to be used and their hazard classification under the Hazardous Materials 7.

Suspected Unapproved Parts Notification
Key Information
Abstract
The information collected on the FAA Form 8120-11 is reported voluntarily by manufacturers, repair stations, aircraft owner/operators, air carriers, and the general public who wish to report or disclose a suspected unapproved parts (SUP) to the FAA for review. The reported information is collected and correlated by the FAA, Aviation Safety Hotline Program Office, and used to determine if an unapproved part investigation is warranted. FAA employees and Department of Transportation (Office of Inspector General) receive information on these cases when assigned for investigation. Since submittal is voluntary, the frequency for those wishing to report a SUP occurrence is on occasion. When unapproved parts are confirmed that are likely to exist on other products or aircraft of the same or similar design or are being used in other facilities, the information is used as a basis for an aviation industry alert or notification. Alerts are used to inform industry of situations essential to the prevention of accidents, if the information had not been collected. The consequence to the aviation community would be the inability to determine whether or not unapproved parts are being offered for sale or use for installation on type-certificated products. Procedures and processes relating to the SUP program and associated reports are found in FAA Order 8120.16A, Suspected Unapproved Parts Program, and AC 21-29, Detecting and Reporting Suspected Unapproved Parts. When unapproved parts are identified, the FAA notifies the public by published Field Notifications (FN), disseminated using Unapproved Parts Notifications (UPN), Aviation Maintenance Alerts, Airworthiness Directives (AD), entry into an issue of the Service Difficulty Reporting Summary, a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin, a display on an Internet site, or direct mailing. |

QSA Customer Feedback Report
Key Information
Abstract
Production Approval Holders (PAH) are recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration as having the authority to produce products, articles and parts for use on U.S. civil aircraft. The customer feedback report is a voluntary survey, sent to FAA production approval holders (PAH) prior to the QSA audit conducted by the FAA at their production facility. Individual PAH facilities are subject to the QSA audit every 24, 36, or 48 months depending on the complexity and criticality of the aircraft product or article that they manufacture. The customer feedback survey is voluntarily reported to FAA on occasion, which is predicated on the revolving due date of that audit. The survey seeks to obtain information that is voluntarily disclosed by the PAH and used by the FAA to invoke continuous improvement of the QSA process. The survey offers the PAH the opportunity to divulge issues or concerns regarding the preparation, timeliness, communication, coordination and professionalism regarding the completed QSA. The information provides transparency to the FAA managing offices with regard to the effectiveness of the conduct of the audit and the collaborative exchange of information between industry and government regulatory policy. The feedback information is generally not technical in nature, but identifies potential gaps in training and opportunities to adjust the QSA administrative protocols to adopt changes as the PAH certificate management process and automation tools to support that process evolve. Most PAHs are subject to a QSA every two to four years depending on the complexity of their product. The feedback information submitted by the PAH on the 8100-7 form at the conclusion of the QSA is a voluntary survey. It is collected and reviewed by FAA offices including the local field offices, manufacturing inspection offices and the surveillance and oversight policy section of AIR-600 in order to improve the administration and conduct of the QSA at the local and national levels. The FAA has typically used the feedback to clarify the information provided in the QSA briefing presentations and to improve the overall audit presentation and experience. Improvements to FAA Order 8120.23, Certificate Management of Production Approval Holders, have been and will continue to be incorporated as a result of the on-going collection of data. |

Certification and Compliance Requirements for Nonroad Spark-ignition Engines (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
This information collection is requested under the authority of Title II of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.) Under this Title, EPA is charged with issuing certificates of conformity for those engines which comply with applicable emission standards. Such a certificate must be issued before engines may be legally introduced into commerce. To apply for a certificate of conformity, manufacturers are required to submit descriptions of their planned production line, including detailed descriptions of the emission control system, and test data. This information is organized by engine family groups expected to have similar emission characteristics. The emission values achieved during certification testing may also be used in the Averaging, Banking, and Trading (ABT) Program. The program allows manufacturers to bank credits for engine families that emit below the standard and use the credits for families that emit above the standard. They may also trade banked credits with other manufacturers. Participation in the ABT program is voluntary. Different categories of spark-ignition engines may also be required to comply with production-line testing (PLT) and in-use testing. There are also recordkeeping and labeling requirements. This information is collected electronically by the Gasoline Engine Compliance Center (GECC), Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ), Office of Air and Radiation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. GECC uses this information to ensure that manufacturers comply with applicable regulations and the Clean Air Act (CAA). It may also be used by the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) and the Department of Justice for enforcement purposes. Non- CBI may be disclosed on OTAQ's Web site or upon request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to trade associations, environmental groups, and the public. Any information submitted for which a claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR 2.201 et seq. |
