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 July 19, 2025.

Standards for Pesticide Containers and Containment (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with the pesticide container design and residue removal requirements and containment structure requirements. With respect to the container design and residue removal requirements, the information collection activities are associated with the requirement that businesses subject to the container regulations (pesticide registrants) and repackaging regulations (pesticide registrants and refillers) maintain records of test data, cleaning procedures, certain data when a container is refilled, and other supporting information. These records are subject to both call-in by EPA and on-site inspection by EPA and its representatives. EPA has not established a regular schedule for the collection of these records, and there is no reporting. With respect to the containment structure requirements, the information collection activities are associated with the requirement that businesses subject to the containment structure regulations maintain records of the: (1) Monthly inspection and maintenance of each containment structure and all stationary bulk containers; (2) Duration over which non-stationary bulk containers holding pesticide and not protected by a secondary containment unit remain at the same location; and (3) Construction date of the containment structure. The businesses subject to the containment structure regulations include agrichemical retailers and refilling establishments, custom blenders and commercial applicators of agricultural pesticides. The records have to be maintained by the owners and operators of such businesses and made available to inspectors to ensure that businesses are in compliance with containment requirements. These inspections are generally conducted by the states, which enforce FIFRA regulations through cooperative agreements with EPA.

Guam Military Base Realignment Contractors Recruitment Standards

Key Information

Abstract

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111–84, enacted October 28, 2009) requires an expanded effort to recruit U.S. and other eligible workers for employment on Guam military base realignment construction projects. This reporting structure features electronic posting of construction job opportunities on an Internet job banks site with national coverage, posting job opportunities on several state workforce agency job banks, and documentation of worker recruitment results reports that will be submitted to the Guam Department of Labor (GDOL). All data collection and reporting will be done by military base construction contractors, and the data and recruitment results in a report that will be submitted to the GDOL. These recruitment requirements help fulfill the responsibilities assigned to the Secretary of Labor in the provisions of the NDAA of 2010 and increase employment opportunities for U.S. construction workers.

Notice of Arrival of Pesticides and Devices under section 17(c) of FIFRA (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the importation of pesticides and pesticide devices into the United States. FIFRAs definition of pesticides is broad and includes any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest (e.g., rodenticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and antimicrobials) and certain other substances such as plant growth regulators and any nitrogen stabilizers; the definition also includes substances imported for pesticide research and development purposes. FIFRAs definition of pesticide devices include any instrument or contrivance (other than a firearm) which is intended for trapping, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest or any other form of plant or animal life. FIFRA section 17(c) governs the importation process for pesticides and pesticide devices into the U.S., while FIFRA 17(e) authorizes the U.S. Department of the Treasury, in consultation with the EPA, to promulgate regulations implementing pesticide and device trade enforcement. This authority was delegated to the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in 2003. CBP regulations, developed in concert with the EPA, give the EPA specific roles in the importation process.

Carbon Tetrachloride; Regulation of Carbon Tetrachloride under TSCA Section 6(a) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final rule under section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to address the unreasonable risk to human health presented by carbon tetrachloride (CTC) under its conditions of use. The final rule will prohibit the manufacture (including import), processing, distribution in commerce, and use of CTC for certain conditions of use; require a workplace chemical protection program (WCPP), which would include requirements to meet an inhalation exposure concentration limit and prevent direct dermal contact, for certain conditions of use not prohibited; require prescriptive workplace controls for laboratory use; and establish recordkeeping and downstream notification requirements. The information collection activities contained in the proposed rule are: downstream notification requirements through Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and WCPP-related information generation, recordkeeping, and notification requirements, including: development of an exposure control plan; exposure level monitoring and related recordkeeping; development of documentation for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) program and related recordkeeping; development of documentation for respiratory protection program and related recordkeeping; development and notification to potentially exposed persons (employees and others in the workplace) about how they can access the exposure control plans, exposure monitoring records, PPE program implementation documentation, and respirator program documentation; and uf engineering controls that vent CTC to ambient air outside the workplace are used, attestation that exposure controls selected do not increase emissions of CTC to ambient air outside of the workplace and whether additional equipment was installed to capture or otherwise prevent increased emissions of CTC to ambient air.

Federal Acknowledgment as an Indian Tribe, 25 CFR 83

Key Information

Abstract

Submission of this information allows the Office of Federal Acknowledgment (OFA), within the Office of the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs, to review groups’ documented petitions for the Federal acknowledgment as an Indian tribe. The acknowledgment regulations at 25 CFR 83 contain seven criteria that unrecognized groups seeking Federal acknowledgment as Indian tribes must demonstrate that they meet. Information collected from petitioning groups under these regulations provide anthropological, genealogical, and historical data used by the AS-IA to establish whether a petitioning group has the characteristics necessary to be acknowledged as a continuously existing Indian tribe. Federal acknowledgment establishes a government-to-government relationship with the United States. Respondents are not required to retain copies of the information submitted to OFA but will probably maintain copies for their own use; therefore, there is no recordkeeping requirement included in this information collection.

Tribal Trust Evaluations for P.L. 93-639 Compact Tribes

Key Information

Abstract

As codified in 25 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., the American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act of 1994 (the Reform Act), makes provisions for the Bureau of Trust Funds Administration (BTFA) (formerly known as the Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians (OST)) to administer trust funds accounts for individuals and Tribes. This collection of information is required to fulfill the mission of BTFA and the Secretary of the Interior’s responsibility for evaluating all P.L. 93-638 Compact Tribes administering and managing trust programs, functions, services, and/or activities on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior. This responsibility is federally mandated pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 458cc(d) and 25 CRF 1000.350. The BTFA Division of Trust Evaluation and Review (DTER) (formerly known as the Office of Trust Review and Audit (OTRA)) is responsible for performing trust examinations, evaluations and assessments of Indian trust programs and functions, pursuant to executive direction by the Secretary of the Interior. In addition, DTER has a congressional mandate to conduct Annual Tribal Trust Evaluations for Tribes that administer or manage trust programs, functions, services, and/or activities under P.L. 93-638 Self-Governance Compacts on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior. These evaluations are conducted by performing desk reviews (via e-mail questionnaires) and/or teleconferences, as well as on-site visits.

Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery Grant Reporting and National Materials Management Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR) Resource Conservation and Sustainability Division (RCSD) requires the ability to collect consistent and timely information from grant recipients receiving EPA funding originating from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, (also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)). Additionally, in order to carry out the Agency’s obligations under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), RCSD needs broad-based national information on waste streams and materials management practices. This ICR covers two related information collections that are essential for RCSD to properly understand current conditions and promote interventions that can lead to a more sustainable future. One is based on the collection of progress and final reports from Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling (SWIFR) and Recycling Education and Outreach (REO) grant recipients. The reports provide the Agency with necessary administrative information, documentation of grant outputs and outcomes, and for many grantees, data on the volume of materials and types of waste management methods they employ. EPA plans to use a web-based data management system to facilitate the collection and processing of these reports from grantees. The second proposed information collection is a voluntary annual survey to gather detailed information from all U.S. states and territories about their existing waste management programs, capacities, and throughputs. Survey respondents will also be grant recipients and the same electronic data management system can be used to collect and process survey results.

Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with EPAs final rule establishing new, more protective emissions standards for criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHG) for light-duty vehicles and Class 2b and 3 ("medium-duty") vehicles that will phase-in generally over model years 2027 through 2032. In addition, EPA is finalizing GHG program revisions in several areas, including off-cycle and air conditioning credits, the treatment of upstream emissions associated with zero-emission vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in compliance calculations, medium-duty vehicle incentive multipliers, and vehicle certification and compliance. EPA is also establishing new standards to control refueling emissions from incomplete medium-duty vehicles, and battery durability and warranty requirements for light-duty and medium-duty plug-in electric vehicles. EPA is also finalizing minor amendments to update program requirements related to aftermarket fuel conversions, importing vehicles and engines, evaporative emission test procedures, and test fuel specifications for measuring fuel economy. The new emission standards will apply to manufacturers beginning with MY 2027. Data would be submitted annually, consistent with EPAs existing certification program requirements. Information activities associated with the final rule are largely covered by existing emission certification and reporting requirements for EPAs light-duty vehicle (LDV) and medium-duty (MDV) emission control program. To avoid duplication, this information collection statement covers only the incremental burden associated with the final rule, as briefly described in Section 12 below and in more detail in Supplemental Information, Section 8. Concerning other aspects of the rule, manufacturers already submit the data that would be required for certification to the revised standards to EPAs certification system (under programmatic ICRs); there would be a change only to the specific data, not to its reporting. The programmatic information collection request is: EPA ICR 0783.65, OMB Control Number 2060-0104, Motor Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Economy Compliance (Renewal)

FOLLOW-UP SURVEYS TO THE 2023-24 NTPS: 2024-25 Teacher Follow-Up Survey (TFS) and 2024-25 Principal Follow-Up

Key Information

Abstract

This request is to conduct data collection for the two follow-up surveys to the 2023-24 National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS) the 2024-25 Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) and the 2024-25 Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS). The 2024-25 TFS is a one year follow-up of a subsample of teachers who responded to the 2023-24 NTPS, and the 2024-25 PFS is a one year follow-up of principals who responded to the 2023-24 NTPS. The TFS and PFS are conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), within the U.S. Department of Education (ED). The 2024-25 TFS and 2024-25 PFS, like earlier TFS and PFS collections, will measure the one year attrition rates of teachers and principals, respectively, who leave the profession and will permit comparisons of stayers, movers, and leavers to fulfill the legislative mandate for NCES to report on the condition of education in the United States. Stayers are teachers or principals who remain in the same school between the NTPS year of data collection and the follow-up year. Movers are teachers or principals who stay in the profession but change schools between the NTPS year and the follow-up year. Leavers are NTPS respondents who leave the teaching or principal profession between the NTPS year and the follow-up year. The 2024-25 TFS analysis file will include TFS data in addition to data collected in the 2023-24 NTPS on teacher characteristics, qualifications, perceptions of the school environment and the teaching profession, and a host of other topics. Prior TFS data have played an important role in improving the understanding of the conditions that affect the balance between teacher attrition and retention. The NTPS and TFS provide national data on turnover in the teacher workforce, including rates of attrition from teaching, sources and characteristics of newly hired teachers, and characteristics and destinations of leavers. These data help shift the debate from the issue of teacher quantity to teacher quality; that is, from a focus on teacher shortages measured only in terms of the number of teaching positions left vacant to the qualifications and years of experience of teachers who stay in the classroom versus those who leave the profession. The cross-sectional repeated design of the TFS allows the analysis of trends related to these topics. The 2024-25 PFS analysis file will include PFS data in addition to data on principal characteristics, qualifications, and perceptions of the school environment from data collected in the 2023-24 NTPS. Together, the NTPS and PFS will provide national data on turnover in the principal workforce, including rates of attrition from principalship, sources and characteristics of newly hired principals, characteristics and destinations of leavers, and due to the cross-sectional repeated design of the PFS, analyses of trends related to these topics. This clearance request is to conduct both 2024-25 NTPS follow-up surveys (TFS and PFS), including all recruitment and data collection activities. This request seeks authorization for the 2024-25 TFS and 2024-25 PFS under the TFS single OMB number (OMB# 1850-0617). Following a 60-day public comment period, this submission will now undergo a 30-day public comment period. This submission includes Supporting Statement Part A (justification), Part B (collection of information employing statistical methods), and Part C (item justification); Appendix A (respondent contact materials) and Appendix B (questionnaires).

Biobased Markets Program

Key Information

Abstract

Section 9002 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act (FSRIA) of 2002, as amended by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act (FCEA) of 2008, and the Agricultural Act of 2014 provides for a preferred procurement program under which Federal agencies are required to purchase biobased products (7 CFR part 3201 (ecfr.gov/current/title-7/subtitle-B/chapter-XXXII/part-3201)), with certain exceptions, and also requires the Secretary of Agriculture to implement a voluntary labeling program (7 CFR part 3202 (ecfr.gov/current/title-7/subtitle-B/chapter-XXXII/part-3202)) that would enable qualifying biobased products to be certified with a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product label (Label). These two initiatives together make up the BioPreferred Program, which is currently implemented by the Rural Business Cooperative Service (RBCS or the Agency), an agency of Rural Development (RD) mission area within the USDA. The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (7 U.S.C. 8102) (2018 Farm Bill) reauthorizes the BioPreferred Program and instructs RBCS to create a single approval process through which biobased products may be determined eligible to receive a procurement preference and to be certified to use the Label. RBCS published a proposed rule with comment, 89 FR 4770 (federalregister.gov/documents/2024/01/24/ 2024-00981/biobased-markets-program), on January 24, 2024 to a adopt changes from the 2018 Farm Bill and merge 7 CFR 3201 and 3202 into one streamlined regulation, 7 CFR part 4270. The 60-day comment period closed on March 25, 2024. A workplan for a final rule has been approved for the 2024 Fall Agenda. The final rule, 89 FR 97459 (federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/09/2024-28431/biobased-markets-program), provides the summary and responses to the comments received as part of the proposed rule with comment process. The final rule does not include revisions based on the comments received during the proposed rule comment period, for which the Agency has provided justification. The final rule includes two (2) technical amendments. There were no comments received during the proposed rule process regarding this information collection package. RBCS BioPreferred program staff and its contractors have been collecting product information under OMB Control Number 0570-0073 to support the preferred Federal procurement program (7 CFR part 3201 (ecfr.gov/current/title-7/subtitle-B/chapter-XXXII/part-3201)) and under OMB Control Number 0570-0071 to support the voluntary labeling program (7 CFR part 3202 (ecfr.gov/current/title-7/subtitle-B/chapter-XXXII/part-3202)). Since there will be one streamline regulation, 7 CFR part 4270, these two (2) OMB Control Numbers will be discontinued. The streamline regulation will receive new OMB Control Number 0570-0083 where RBCS will continue to collect product names, descriptions, availability, performance, environmental and health benefits, and biobased content measurements. RBCS uses this information to identify product categories for preferred Federal procurement, determine eligibility for products to qualify for preferred Federal procurement, and certify products to use the Label. Cooperation in this program by manufacturers and vendors of biobased products is voluntary.

Notification of a Social Security Number (SSN) to an Employer for Wage Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

Individuals applying for employment must provide an SSN or indicate they have applied for one. However, when an individual applies for an initial SSN, there is a delay between the assignment of the number and the delivery of the SSN card. At an individual's request, SSA uses Form SSA-132 to send the individual's SSN to an employer. Mailing this information to the employer (1) ensures the employer has the correct SSN for the individual; (2) allows SSA to receive correct earnings information for wage reporting purposes; and (3) reduces the delay in the initial SSN assignment and delivery of the SSN information directly by SSA to the employer. It also enables SSA to verify the employer as a safeguard for the applicant's personally identifiable information. The majority of individuals who take advantage of this option are in the United States with exchange visitor and student visas; however, we allow any applicant for an SSN to use the SSA-132. The respondents are individuals applying for an initial SSN who ask SSA to mail confirmation of their application or the SSN to their employers.

Key Information

Abstract

The National Language Service Corp (NLSC) currently operates under federal guidelines with the processes and procedures validated during its first five years as a pilot program, and recruits from the general public and enroll individuals who would like to volunteer their language skills. The NLSC identifies U.S. citizens who can provide high levels of proficiency in foreign languages and cultural expertise critical to national security for short-term temporary assignments when other resources are not available. The NLSC will fill gaps between requirements of DoD or other departments or agencies of the United States and available language skills where government employees are required or desired. It is critical for the NLSC to continue to utilize members to fill these emergent needs.
