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-576, Report of Service Interruptions or Damage to Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

A natural gas company must obtain Commission authorization to engage in the transportation, sale, or exchange of natural gas in interstate commerce under the Natural Gas Act (NGA). The NGA also empowers the Commission to oversee continuity of service in the transportation of natural gas in interstate commerce. The information collected under FERC-576 notifies the Commission of actual or potential problems, which create the potential for serious delivery problems on the pipeline’s own system or the pipeline grid. These problems include: • damage to jurisdictional natural gas facilities due to natural disaster (e.g., hurricane, earthquake, or other natural disaster) or terrorist activity; and • serious interruptions to service. In cases of emergency and pending the determination of any application on file with the Commission for a certificate of public convenience and necessity pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, application may be made for a temporary certificate authorizing the construction and operation of extensions of existing facilities, interconnections of pipeline systems, or sales of natural gas that may be required to assure maintenance of adequate service, or to service particular customers. The consequence of not collecting or collecting the information of FERC-576 less frequently would be the Commission’s inability to fulfill its statutory mandates under the NGA and its Rules of Practice and Procedure. Further, if the Commission did not collect this information under FERC-576, it would lose a data point that assists in the monitoring of transactions, operations, and reliability of interstate pipelines.

RE Modernization Final rule stage—Renewable Energy and Alternate Uses of Existing Facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf - BSEE 30 CFR Part 285

Key Information

Abstract

BSEE uses the information to oversee facility design, fabrication, installation, and safety management systems; ensure the safety of operations, including inspection programs and incident reporting and investigations; enforce compliance with all applicable safety, environmental, and other laws and regulations through enforcement actions (such as noncompliance notices, cessation orders, and certain lease suspensions); and oversee decommissioning activities. These responsibilities include enforcement provisions under the existing part 285Subpart D, various information submittal requirements under Subpart F, as well as provisions governing activities conducted under an approved plan, including the design, construction, operation, and decommissioning of facilities under Subparts G, H, and I. The requirements for and standards of review regarding the Facility Design Report (FDR) and Facility Fabrication and Installation Report (FIR) are unchanged: the FDR and FIR will continue to be evaluated for consistency with the Construction and Operations Plan (COP) and applicable engineering standards. Decommissioning requirements related to rights-of-use and easement for alternate uses of existing OCS facilities (Alternate Use RUE) have also been transferred from the existing Subpart J to part 285. BSEE assumes the responsibility for ordering a lease or grant suspension when continued activities pose an imminent threat of serious or irreparable harm or damage to natural resources, life, property, the marine coastal, or human environment, or sites, structures, or objects of historical or archaeological significance. BSEE may also order a suspension when necessary to comply with a judicial decree. BSEE also assumes authority to issue cessation orders to address noncompliance on the part of the grantee or lessee. The Department does not issue Suspensions for Alternate Use RUEs upon the grantee’s request, but only by order. BOEM will retain authority to order suspensions required for National security, and BSEE will assume authority to order suspensions to address a threat of harm from continued operations. Either bureau may order a suspension when necessary to comply with a judicial decree. BSEE will order suspensions when operations are halted on the existing facility and BSEE determines continuation of the alternate use is unsafe or causes undue interference with the facility. Part 285 Subpart D, Lease and Grant Administration, includes the authority to issue notices of noncompliance (NONCs) and cessation orders, and to pursue civil penalties and recommend criminal penalties. BSEE assumes authority for oversight and enforcement of the design, construction, operation, and decommissioning phases of offshore wind development, as well as enforcement of requirements related to Alternate Use RUEs.

Safe Disposition of Life-Limited Aircraft Parts

Key Information

Abstract

To help prevent the installation of aircraft parts that have reached their life-limit, the FAA has instituted regulations that require persons who remove parts that have reached their life limit, to properly disposition of those parts. Additionally, when requested by a person required to disposition a life-limited part, the holder of a type certificate or design approval for a life-limited part must provide marking instructions or must state that the part cannot be practicably marked without compromising its integrity. Respondents to this collection are aircraft maintenance providers for aviation/aircraft airframes, engine, propellers, and appliances. Persons performing the removal or installation of the parts and operators of the aircraft must keep a record (system, tag, part marking).

National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979

Key Information

Abstract

The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) is a representative national sample of persons who were born in the years 1957 to 1964 and lived in the U.S. in 1979. These respondents were ages 14 to 22 when the first round of interviews began in 1979; they will be ages 59 to 66 when the planned round thirty-one of interview is conducted in 2024. One of the goals of DOL is to produce and disseminate timely, accurate, and relevant information about the U.S. labor force. The BLS contributes to this goal by gathering information about the labor force and labor market and disseminating it to policymakers and the public so that participants in those markets can make more informed, and thus more efficient, choices. Research based on the NLSY79 contributes to the formation of national policy in the areas of education, training, employment programs, and school-to-work transitions.
