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.

FERC-729, Electric Transmission Facilities (Rehearing Docket No. RM22-7-000)

Key Information

Abstract

The Final Rule in Docket No. RM22-7-000 amends the Commission’s regulations in parts 50 and 380 to ensure consistency with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021. Some of the amended regulations include filing requirements for entities seeking to construct electric transmission facilities pursuant to the Commission’s authority under section 216 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), which authorizes the Commission, under certain circumstances, to issue permits for the construction of electric transmission facilities within national interest electric transmission corridors designated by the Secretary of Energy. In this ICR, we are revising the information collection due to arguments raised on rehearing in Docket No. RM22-7-001.

Survey of FTA Stakeholders

Key Information

Abstract

The information collection request is for an extension without change of a currently approved collection under OMB control number 2132-0564 “Survey of FTA Stakeholders". There have been no changes to the collection of information or the survey instrument. However, although there was no change in survey instrument/methodology, regulatory environment or FTA programmatic changes, there has been a change in the respondent universe. This shift is associated with an increase in unique individuals with system accounts, which increased the respondent universe. Due to FTA’s outreach efforts to increase participation in the survey there was an increase in CEO respondents and Editor respondents. As a result, the total respondent universe is now 8,177, an increase of 27 percent. Correspondingly, the burden hours submitted with this information collection request is 2,045, an increase of 27 percent. There has also been an increase in burden cost as new labor rates were used for calculations of the respondents and federal employees. This is a voluntary collection of information via a survey that is distributed on a biennial basis. The survey provides FTA decision makers with the information necessary to determine current levels of service, establish realistic service delivery standards and opportunities for improvement, and establish mechanisms for ongoing monitoring of customer satisfaction. The information collected from FTA's grantees helps ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with the Agency's programs. The entities that will respond to the "Rating FTA Services to its Customers" survey include the CEO's, CFO's Executive Director as well as professional staff aka as NTD editors, such as engineers, urban planners, grant managers at public and private transit operators, state agencies and Metropolitan Planning Organizations across the country. As required, the supporting statement A, supporting statement B, survey instrument, methodology, and checklist are included without change as previously approved from DOT's Office of Bureau for Transportation Statistics (BTS).

Making Ends Meet Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act charges the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with researching, analyzing, and reporting on topics relating to the Bureau's mission including consumer behavior, consumer awareness, and developments in markets for consumer financial products and services. To improve its understanding of how consumers engage with financial markets, the Bureau has successfully used surveys under its “Making Ends Meet” program. The “Making Ends Meet” program has also used the Bureau's Consumer Credit Information Panel (CCIP) as a frame to survey people about their experiences in consumer credit markets. The Bureau seeks approval for two yearly surveys under the “Making Ends Meet” program. These surveys solicit information on the consumer's experience related to household financial shocks, particularly shocks related to the economic effects of the COVID–19 pandemic, how households respond to those shocks, and the role of savings to help provide a financial buffer. The first survey will be a follow-up to respondents from the Bureau's 2023 “Making Ends Meet” survey to better understand household financial experiences dealing with medical debt as well as consumers' interactions with various financial products. The second survey will go to a new sample of consumers from the CCIP and will address several topics of interest to the Bureau possibly including the impact of natural disasters and other environmental events, credit shopping behavior, additional follow-up regarding debt collection, and the assessment of various fees throughout the financial services ecosystem.

Response Plans for Shipments of Oil

Key Information

Abstract

This is to request the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) renewed three-year extension for the information collection “Response Plans for Shipments of Oil,” OMB Control No. 2137-0591. This information collection is a mandatory reporting requirement. A basic response plan is required when a carrier transports 3,500 gallons or more of liquid petroleum oil in a package and a comprehensive written response plan is required when a carrier transports liquid petroleum or non-petroleum oil in a quantity greater than 1,000 barrels (42,000 gallons). When a carrier becomes subject, they will need to create an initial plan, with more minor annual updates, if the carrier continues to transport oil in a quantity that subjects them to this information collection. The response plans identify a manner of response if discharge of the oil occurs, the maximum potential discharge for each package, who will respond if a discharge occurs, and who will contact the appropriate authorities. This information is only required to be maintained by the carrier, and implemented by the carrier and any emergency response personnel in the event of a discharge.

Minimum Standards for Driver’s licenses and Identification Cards Acceptable by Federal Agencies for Official Purposes

Key Information

Abstract

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is conducting a multiphase rulemaking to amend the regulations to address mDLs. To initiate the first phase, TSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on August 30, 2023, and a final rule on October 25, 2024. This initial phase enables States to apply to TSA for a temporary waiver of the prohibition on Federal acceptance of non-compliant mDLs. The waiver enabled by this rule permits Federal agencies, at their discretion, to continue accepting for official REAL ID purposes mDLs issued by States to whom TSA has issued a waiver. In the second phase, TSA intends to follow the finalization of industry technical standards and issue another rule that would replace the waiver provisions with minimum technical requirements and security standards necessary for states to issue REAL ID-compliant mDLs. Through this final rule, TSA requires States to apply to TSA for a waiver, following the processes set forth in section 37.9(a) and submitting materials required by sections 37.10(a) and (b). The final rule also imposes continuing obligations on a State that has been issued a waiver, which may require States to submit additional materials to TSA.

NESHAP for Lime Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart AAAAA) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Lime Manufacturing (40 CR Part 63, Subpart AAAAA) were proposed on December 20, 2002, promulgated on January 5, 2004, and amended on April 20, 2006. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new major source facilities that either emit or have the potential to emit any single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) at a rate of 10 tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per year from all emission sources at the plant site. This subpart covers lime kilns, their associated coolers, and processed stone handling (PSH) operation systems located at a lime manufacturing plant that is a major source. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart AAAAA. This ICR is prepared for final rule amendments to the NESHAP for Lime Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAAA). 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.

Puerto Rico Energy Resiliency Fund

Key Information

Abstract

The purpose of this ICR is to authorize the ‘Solar Ambassador Household Intake Form’ as the means to collect homeowner information necessary to qualify households as eligible to participate in the deployment phase of the PR-ERF. Eligibility is limited to very low-income single-family households residing in Puerto Rico that (1) include an individual with an energy-dependent disability or (2) are located in a Last Mile Community.Emergency Justfication:DOE requires emergency approval for this collection of information to comply with its legal obligations under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, Public Law 117- 328. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, Public Law 117-328,1 directs the Department of Energy to improve the resilience of the Puerto Rican electric grid, including grants for low-and-moderate-income households and households that include individuals with disabilities for the purchase and installation of renewable energy, energy storage, and other grid technologies. Specifically, DOE requires emergency approval for this collection to address the urgent need to accelerate the provision of solar PV and 2 battery storage systems to ensure reliable electric service is available to vulnerable residents of Puerto Rico. Collection of this information is essential to the mission of DOE. DOE plans to continue installations of solar PV and battery storage systems to address the harm and risk represented by the fragility of the island’s power system. However, DOE has received significant public input from program awardees and potential beneficiaries2 to expand the types of information that may be submitted to verify eligibility under the program. Many awardees and potential beneficiaries of this program have requested DOE expand the definition “very low-income single-family household” to consider additional income qualifying programs and allow potential beneficiaries to submit this information as verification of eligibility to the program. As a result, it is necessary for DOE to modify the program information collection practices in response to this public feedback. Failure to collect the information necessary to verify eligibility in a timely manner will cause unacceptable delays in providing assistance necessary to reestablish the reliability of electric service to these vulnerable residents. As such, public harm is reasonably likely to result in the absence of emergency approval of this request.

Evaluation of Public Visitors' Experience at the National Marine Sanctuaries Visitor Centers and Exhibits

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for the extension of a current information collection. The evaluation of visitor demographics, experiences, and opinions about visitor centers and exhibits is needed to support the conservation, education, and management goals of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) to strengthen and improve the stewardship, sustainable use, and protection of natural, cultural, and historical resources. Under the jurisdiction of ONMS and to satisfy legal mandates, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is authorized to conduct evaluations, such as this information collection, under the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act (Section 314(c), codified at 33 U.S.C. § 893(a)) to ensure education programs have measurable objectives and milestones, as well as clear, documented metrics for evaluating its programs. We therefore are seeking to find out if people visiting ONMS’ visitor centers and exhibits are receiving our new messages by conducting an optional exit survey. Conducting thorough evaluations will aid in vital decisions regarding exhibit renovation, new exhibits, interpretation programs, and educational content.

Guidance on Meetings with Industry and Investigators on the Research and Development of Tobacco Products

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR is for a guidance intended to assist tobacco manufacturers, importers, researchers, and investigators, and their representatives who seek meetings with staff of FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). This guidance does not pertain to other types of meetings or meeting requests with CTP staff. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) offers several pathways to obtain an order from FDA to authorize the marketing of a new tobacco product before it may be introduced or delivered into interstate commerce. To provide assistance with these pathways to market products, FDA will meet with tobacco product manufacturers, importers, researchers, and investigators (or their representatives) where appropriate. This guidance is intended to assist persons who seek guidance relating to their research to inform the regulation of tobacco products or to support the development or marketing of tobacco products. This guidance describes two collections of information: (1) The submission of a meeting request containing certain information and (2) the submission of a meeting information package in advance of the meeting. The purpose of the meeting information package is to provide Agency staff the opportunity to adequately prepare for the meeting, including the review of relevant data concerning the product. In the Agency’s experience, reviewing such information is critical to achieving a productive meeting. For information that was previously submitted in a meeting request, the information package should provide updated information that reflects the most current and accurate information available.

Regulation of Domestic Exchange-Traded Options

Key Information

Abstract

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“Commission”) has promulgated Commission Regulations 33.7 and 33.8, respectively, which require futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) and introducing brokers (“IBs”): (1) to provide retail (i.e., non-eligible contract participant) customers with, and retain, standard risk disclosure statements concerning the risk of trading certain domestic exchange-traded commodity options; and (2) to retain all related promotional material and the source of authority for information contained therein. These requirements help assure that these customers are not fraudulently induced to invest in these commodity options by persons who misrepresent the risks of such transactions. The recordkeeping requirements assist the Commission and the National Futures Association (“NFA”) in verifying registrants’ compliance with their disclosure obligations and ensuring that related promotional material is not fraudulent or misleading.

Request Type:

New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
Statutory Benefit Continuation Election Statement

Key Information

Abstract

Under current policy, the individual records their request on the form SSA-795, Statement of Claimant or Other Person (OMB 0960-0045). When the individual submits a writing of their own, the written statement often does not include all the necessary information. Field office staff must often contact the individual to explain the available options. In addition, the individual has 15 calendar days from the notice date to submit their election to continue benefits, which often results in the individual having to visit the local field office in person to meet the deadline. SSA will use the Statutory Benefit Continuation Election Statement, Form SSA-792 to standardize our collection of an individual’s benefit continuation election choice. This new information collection allows the individual to elect from a variety of options available to them for continued disability benefits and Medicare coverage.

Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and Rotating Work Platforms Standard (Aerial Lifts) (29 CFR 1910.67)

Key Information

Abstract

The Standard requires that when aerial lifts are "field modified" for uses other than those intended by the manufacturer, the manufacturer or other equivalent entity, such as a nationally recognized testing laboratory, must certify in writing that the modification is in conformity with all applicable provisions of ANSI A92.2-1969 and the OSHA standard and that the modified aerial lift is at least as safe as the equipment was before modification. Employers are to maintain the certification record and make it available to OSHA compliance officers. This record provides assurance to employers, workers, and compliance officers that the modified aerial lift is safe for use; thereby, preventing failure while workers are being elevated. The certification record also provides the most efficient means for the compliance officers to determine that an employer is complying with the Standard.

Revision of a currently approved collection
National Marine Sancturary Permits

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for revision and extension of a currently approved information collection by the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS). ONMS manages national marine sanctuaries pursuant to the purposes and policies of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.). National marine sanctuary regulations at 15 CFR part 922 list specific activities that are prohibited in national marine sanctuaries. These regulations also state that otherwise prohibited activities may be conducted if a permit is issued by ONMS. Persons desiring a permit must submit an application (note that requests for baitfish permits and Tortugas Ecological Reserve North Access permits require contacting Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and do not require a completed ONMS permit application), and anyone obtaining a permit is generally required to submit one or more reports on the activity allowed under the permit. The recordkeeping and reporting requirements at 15 CFR part 922 form the basis for this collection of information. This information is required by ONMS to protect and manage sanctuary resources. The permit application collects information about the proposed activities, the methods proposed to be used, the potential effects to sanctuary resources, and information on the regulatory review criteria at 15 CFR part 922. ONMS uses this information to evaluate whether the proposed activities are consistent with the goals and objectives of the sanctuary and the purposes and policies of the NMSA. Changes to this information collection include revisions to the permit application and instructions to collect information about small businesses to better assess the types of entities engaged in permitting activities. The estimated number of permits issued per year also changed from 424 to 567 to reflect the additional estimated permit numbers if the various proposed national marine sanctuary designations are finalized. In particular, this is based on adding an estimated fifteen additional permits and about 59 certifications for the proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary (88 FR 58123, August 25, 2023), an estimated five additional permits for the proposed designation of the National Marine Sanctuary for the Pacific Remote Islands (88 FR 23624; April 18, 2023), an estimated five additional permits for proposed Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary (88 FR 3334, January 19, 2023), an estimated five additional permits for proposed Lake Erie Quadrangle National Marine Sanctuary (88 FR 32198, July 18, 2023), an estimated nine permits for the proposed sanctuary in the Hudson Canyon area (87 FR 38387, June 8, 2022), and increasing the numbers of amendments and Tortugas access permits to reflect more recent average permit numbers. The number of baitfish permits was diminished by 35 permits and Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary plans to phase out the bait fishing permits over the next three years (87 FR 42800, July 18, 2022).
