Change Requests

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.

Key Information

Abstract

This project directly supports the FAA’s strategic goal to provide the next level of safety. By achieving the lowest possible accident rate and always improving safety, all users of our aviation system can arrive safely at their destinations. This rulemaking was promulgated under the authority described in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), which vests final authority in the Administrator for carrying out all functions, powers, and duties of the administration relating to the promulgation of regulations and rules, and 44701(a)(5), which requires the Administrator to promulgate regulations and minimum standards for other practices, methods, and procedures necessary for safety in air commerce and national security. This rulemaking was also promulgated under the specific authority found in the Airline Safety and Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-216) which directed the FAA to convene an aviation rulemaking committee (ARC) and conduct rulemaking based on the ARC recommendations regarding mentoring, professional development and leadership and command training for pilots serving in part 121 operations and to include in leadership and command training, instruction on compliance with flightcrew member duties under 14 CFR 121.542. The information collection is required for the full implementation of the regulations promulgated under this authority. The FAA expects respondents who have not already complied to modify training programs and training courseware to comply with the final rule requirements.

NESHAP for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GG) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GG) were proposed on June 6, 1994; promulgated on September 1, 1995 and amended on both December 7, 2015 and August 3, 2016. These regulations apply to existing and new aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities where the total hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any combination of HAP, or where the total HAP emitted are greater than or equal to 25 tons per year of any combination of HAP. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. Operations covered include: cleaning, primer and top coat application, depainting, chemical milling maskant application, handling and storage of waste, and specialty coating operations. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GG. 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

Annual Public Water Systems Compliance Report (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 1414(c)(3)(A) of the Safe Drinking Water Act requires that each state that has primary enforcement authority under the Act shall prepare, make readily available to the public, and submit to the Administrator of EPA, an annual report of violations of national primary drinking water regulations in the state. The states' reports are to include violations of maximum contaminant levels, treatment requirements, variances and exemptions, and monitoring requirements determined to be significant by the Administrator after consultation with the states. To minimize a States burden in preparing its annual statutorily-required report, EPA issued guidance that explains what Section 1414(c)(3)(A) requires and provides model language and reporting templates. EPA also annually makes available to the States a computer query that generates for each State (from information States are already separately required to submit to EPAs national database on a quarterly basis) the required violations information in a table consistent with the reporting template in EPAs guidance.

Background Checks for Contractor Employees (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) applies to background checks for specified contractor employees working in sensitive locations or sensitive projects who are not otherwise covered by a background check in accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12). The EPA uses contractors to perform services throughout the nation with regard to environmental emergencies involving the release, or threatened release, of oil, radioactive materials or hazardous chemicals that may potentially affect communities and the surrounding environment. Releases may be accidental, deliberate, or may be caused by natural disasters. The information is collected for each employee who will be working at sensitive sites or in sensitive positions which could involve law enforcement activities, indoor cleanups (including occupied household residences), drug lab cleanups, and emergency response actions at geographically sensitive locations such as military installations and Government buildings.

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Gold Mine Ore Processing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEEEEE) were proposed on April 28, 2010; and promulgated on February 17, 2011. These regulations apply to both existing and new gold mine ore processing and production facilities that are area sources and use ore pretreatment, carbon processes with mercury retorts, carbon processes without mercury retorts, and non-carbon concentrate processes. The regulation sets mercury emission limits for each of the affected processes at both new and existing facilities. New facilities include those that either commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEEEEE. 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.

Abstract

The EPA is finalizing National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for six per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA, commonly known as GenX Chemicals), and perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (PFBS). The EPA is finalizing Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) for PFOA and PFOS at zero and the enforceable Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) at 0.0000040 mg/L or 4.0 ppt for each of these contaminants. The EPA is also finalizing individual MCLGs and is promulgating individual MCLs for PFHxS, PFNA and HFPO-DA at 10 ppt. Lastly, the EPA is finalizing a Hazard Index (HI) of 1 (unitless) as the MCLG and MCL for any mixture containing two or more of PFHxS, PFNA, HFPO-DA and PFBS.

Trademark Post Registration

Key Information

Abstract

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) administers the Trademark Act (Act), 15 U.S.C. 1501 et seq., which provides for the federal registration of trademarks, service marks, collective trademarks and service marks, collective membership marks, and certification marks. Individuals and businesses that use or intend to use such marks in commerce may file an application to register their marks with the USPTO. This information collection covers various communications submitted by individuals and businesses to the USPTO after the registration of a trademark. One type of communication is a request to amend a registration to delete goods or services that are no longer being used by the owner. Registered marks remain on the register for 10 years and can be renewed, but will be cancelled unless the owner files with the USPTO a declaration attesting to the continued use (or excusable non-use) of the mark in commerce, and a renewal application, with specific deadlines. Owners may also request to amend or divide a registration, respond to a post-registration office action, and surrender a registration. The regulations implementing the Act are set forth in 37 CFR part 2. These regulations mandate that each register entry include the mark, the goods and/or services in connection with which the mark is used, ownership information, dates of use, and certain other information. The information in this information collection is used to maintain the quality of the trademark register. The register may be accessed by an individual or by businesses to determine the availability of a mark. By keeping the register current and accurate, parties may reduce the possibility of initiating use of a mark previously adopted by another.

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 3a68-2 creates a process for interested persons to request a joint interpretation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission regarding whether a particular instrument (or class of instruments) is a swap, a security-based swap, or both (i.e., a mixed swap). Rule 3a68-4(c) establishes a process for persons to request that the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission issue a joint order permitting such persons (and any other person or persons that subsequently lists, trades, or clears that class of mixed swap) to comply, as to parallel provisions only, with specified parallel provisions of either the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), and related rules and regulations, instead of being required to comply with parallel provisions of both the CEA and the Exchange Act. For purposes of Rule 3a68-4(c) under the Exchange Act, "parallel provisions" means comparable provisions of the CEA and the Exchange Act that were added or amended by Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act with respect to security-based swaps and swaps, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Section 910 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 387(j)), established requirements for premarket review of new tobacco products and the implementing regulations per the PMTA final rule (86 FR 55300, October 5, 2021) that are found in 21 CFR 1114. This information collection supports requirements for the content and format of Premarket Tobacco Applications (PMTA) Reports which are utilized for the premarket review of new tobacco products. The information collection contains requirements related to the basic content and format of premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs), the procedure by which FDA would review PMTAs, and the maintenance of records regarding the legal marketing of certain tobacco products without PMTAs. The information collection also contains requirements related to the procedures of retention of records related to the PMTA, confidentiality of application information, electronic submission of the PMTA and amendments, and postmarket reporting requirements. There are three FDA forms required for use under sections 1114.7(b) and 1114.9(a) when submitting PMTA information to the Agency. Forms FDA 4057 and 4057b are required when submitting PMTA single and bundled submissions. Form FDA 4057a is for use when firms are submitting amendments and other general correspondence. Form FDA 4057b assists industry and FDA in identifying the products that are the subject of a submission. The new CTP Portal NG application will provide web forms for PMTA applications and amendments, respectively, which will improve the submission preparation process for the tobacco industry.

Outbound Investment Notifications

Key Information

Abstract

On August 9, 2023, the President issued Executive Order 14105, “Addressing United States Investments in Certain National Security Technologies and Products in Countries of Concern,” 88 FR 54867 (the Outbound Order), pursuant to his authority under the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code. In the Outbound Order, the President declared a national emergency to address the threat to the United States posed by countries of concern, which seek to develop and exploit sensitive technologies or products critical for military, intelligence, surveillance, or cyber-enabled capabilities. The Outbound Order directs the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations to prohibit or require notification of certain types of transactions by a U.S. person involving a person of a country of concern that is engaged in certain activities involving specific categories of advanced technologies and products. The Outbound Order also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to exempt from applicable prohibitions or notification requirements any transaction or transactions determined to be in the national interest of the United States and to investigate and make requests for information relative to notifiable or prohibited transactions. The Outbound Order identifies three categories of national security technologies and products: semiconductors and microelectronics, quantum information technologies, and artificial intelligence. In an Annex to the Outbound Order, the President identified the People’s Republic of China, along with the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, as a country of concern. The Outbound Order directs the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations that identify categories of notifiable transactions that involve the national security technologies and products that the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce and, as appropriate, the heads of other relevant agencies, determines may contribute to the threat to the national security of the United States identified in the Outbound Order. U.S. persons are required to notify the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) of each such transaction and include relevant information about the transaction in each notification. On November 15, 2024, Treasury published a final rule (Final Rule), 89 FR 90398, to implement the Outbound Order. As relevant to this Supporting Statement, the Final Rule requires U.S. persons to submit a notification with respect to (i) any “notifiable transaction”, as defined in the Final Rule; (ii) any transaction by a controlled foreign entity that would be a notifiable transaction if engaged in by a U.S. person; and (iii) any transaction for which a U.S. person acquires actual knowledge after the completion date of the transaction that the transaction would have been a prohibited or notifiable transaction if such knowledge had been possessed by the relevant U.S. person at the time of the transaction. Such notification will include relevant details on the U.S. person involved in the transaction as well as information about the transaction and the covered foreign person involved. The Final Rule requires any U.S. person that has filed a notification to respond to any questions or document requests from Treasury related to the transaction or compliance with the Final Rule; maintain a copy of the notification filed and supporting documentation for a period of ten years from the date of the filing; and notify Treasury in writing of any material omission or inaccuracy in a previous submission.

REL Pacific Efficacy and Implementation Evaluation of the Secondary Writing Toolkit

Key Information

Abstract

The current authorization for the Regional Educational Laboratories (REL) program is under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002, Part D, Section 174, (20 U.S.C. 9564), administered by the Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences (IES), National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance (NCEE). The central mission and primary function of the RELs is to support applied research and provide technical assistance to state and local education agencies within their region (ESRA, Part D, section 174[f]). The REL program's goal is to partner with educators and policymakers to conduct work that is change-oriented and supports meaningful local, regional, or state decisions about education policies, programs, and practices to improve outcomes for students. Literacy, including writing, is closely tied to student success throughout K-12 education, which impacts high school graduation (National Institute for Literacy, 2008; NCES, 2020) and ultimately, income beyond graduation (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2019). Despite the importance of writing to life and learning, teachers report that the training they receive on teaching writing, both prior to entering the field and while teaching, is minimal or insufficient (Graham, 2019). To address this problem, the REL PA toolkit development team is developing a Secondary Writing Toolkit to support teachers in implementing Hawai‘i evidence-based instructional strategies to improve writing among students in grades 6-8. The toolkit is based on the Teaching Secondary Students to Write Effectively WWC Practice Guide and is being developed in collaboration with district and school partners in Hawai‘i. REL Pacific will design the Toolkit to help teachers improve their writing instruction so that students in Hawai‘i become stronger, more effective writers. The Toolkit uses Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) facilitated by one of the teachers in the school (peer facilitator) to help teachers learn new instructional skills. Teachers also have access to instructional resources as part of the Toolkit to support their use of evidence-based strategies in their classrooms. This study is designed to measure the efficacy and implementation of the REL Pacific-developed toolkit designed to improve writing among students in grades 6-8. The toolkit evaluation team plans to conduct an independent evaluation using a school-level, cluster randomized controlled trial design to assess the efficacy of the school-based professional learning resources included in the toolkit. The evaluation will also assess how teachers and facilitators implement the toolkit to provide context for the efficacy findings and guidance to improve the toolkit and its future use. The evaluation will take place in 40 schools in Hawai‘i and focus on all students in grades 6-8. The toolkit evaluation will produce a report for district and school leaders who are considering strategies to improve writing among secondary students. The report will provide guidance on using the Toolkit professional development and resources to help teachers implement the Practice Guide (PG) recommendations. This is a change request to: (1) move from a randomized controlled trial to an implementation study, decreasing our sample size by half and decreasing some of the data collection; (2) expand recruitment into California; (3) adjust incentive amounts and funds provided to schools; and (4) update the list of options in a drop-down menu. Please see the memo for more detail and justification.
