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.

| 202510-2060-004 | Air Emissions Reporting Requirements (AERR) (Renewal) | EPA/OAR | 2025-10-31 | Received in OIRA | Extension without change of a currently approved collection
Air Emissions Reporting Requirements (AERR) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
Under the AERR ICR, 55 State and territorial air quality agencies, including the District of Columbia (DC), and an estimated 14 local and tribal air quality agencies, must annually submit emissions data of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic compounds (VOC), particulate matter less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10), particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5), and ammonia (NH3). The current AERR rule, which can be found at 40 CFR Part 51 Subpart A, defines which emissions sources that State, local, and Tribal (SLT) agencies must submit individually as “point sources.” The point source definitions are different depending on the year, and SLTs report more point sources every third year for the “triennial inventory.” For triennial inventory years, States must also submit point source emissions for Lead (Pb), emissions for stationary nonpoint and some nonroad mobile sources, and they must submit model input data for onroad mobile and nonroad mobile equipment. For mobile sources, California has different requirements because it uses different models, and California must submit emissions (rather than model inputs) for these data categories of the same pollutants listed above. The annual emissions data collected through the AERR are used by the EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) to support development of the National Emissions Inventory (NEI). The NEI is more comprehensive for triennial inventory years because they include updates to all data categories. The EPA uses the NEI in developing national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), performing regional and national modeling, providing air quality management support (e.g., State implementation plan (SIP) development) to State agencies and multi-jurisdictional organizations (MJOs), and preparing national trends assessments and other special analyses and reports. Currently, the same reporting mechanisms used for the criteria air pollutants and precursors (CAPs) listed above are also used for voluntary reporting of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and other pollutants. These data are collected by the air agencies for their own purposes, and EPA encourages air agencies to voluntarily provide such data to EPA when it is available. |

Focus Groups As Used By EPA For Economics Projects (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking approval for a generic information collection request (ICR) for the conduct of focus groups and one-on-one interviews related to economics projects primarily for survey development. Focus groups are groups of individuals brought together for moderated discussions on a specific topic or issue. These groups are typically formed to gain insight and understanding of attitudes and perceptions held by the public surrounding an issue. One-on-one interviews, as the term implies, are individual interviews in which a respondent is generally asked to review materials and provide feedback on their content and design as well as the thought processes that the materials invoke. Focus groups and one-on-one interviews (hereafter referred to collectively as focus groups) used as a qualitative research tool have three major purposes: To better understand respondents attitudes, perceptions and emotions in response to specific topics and concepts; To obtain respondent information useful for better defining variables and measures in later quantitative studies; And to further explore findings obtained from quantitative studies. Through these focus groups, the Agency will be able to gain a more in-depth understanding of the publics attitudes, beliefs, motivations and feelings regarding specific issues and will provide invaluable information regarding the quality of draft survey instruments. Focus group discussions are necessary and important steps in the design of a quality survey.

Current Population Survey (CPS) Basic Demographics
Key Information
Abstract
The CPS demographic data include age, marital status, sex, Armed Forces status, education, race, Hispanic origin, and country of birth. The data are used for subject specific (labor-force and supplement) analytic research, for internal analytic research, for evaluating other surveys, and for selecting other survey samples. The Census Bureau, in conjunction with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), is proposing an experimental collection in the Current Population Survey (CPS) of Race and Ethnicity information using the new SPD15 standard. The main goal of the study is to assess the effect of the new race and ethnicity standard (2024 SPD15) on estimates obtained from the CPS. The study will also aid in the implementation of the new standard for interviewer-administered data collections (both in-person and by phone). The study will examine the impact of differences in reporting using the new 2024 standard and the 1997 standard (which CPS currently is using) on race distributions, labor force estimates, weighting, and missing data. |

NSPS for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKK) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKK) were proposed on February 18, 2005, and promulgated on July 6, 2006. These regulations apply to new stationary combustion turbines with a heat input at peak load equal to or greater than 10.7 gigajoules (10 MMBtu) per hour, based on the higher heating value of the fuel. 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 60, Subpart KKKK. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS. |

Ongoing Data Collection of Centrally Cleared Transactions in the U.S. Repurchase Agreement Market
Key Information
Abstract
The Financial Stability Oversight Council (“Council”) recommended an ongoing collection of repo data in its 2016 Annual Report to Congress and maintained this recommendation in its 2017 Annual Report. The expanded monitoring of the repo market made possible by this proposed collection appropriately meets Council duties and purposes because of this market’s crucial role in providing short-term funding and performing other functions for U.S. markets. The data would also support the calculation of the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”), which was selected by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) as its preferred alternative rate to U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), as well as the Broad General Collateral Rate (“BGCR”), helping fulfill another Council recommendation on the creation of alternative reference rates. The collection requires reporting by certain U.S. central counterparties (“CCPs”) for repo transactions. The collection serves two primary purposes: (1) enhancing the ability of the Council and the Office to identify and monitor risks to financial stability; and (2) supporting the calculation of certain reference rates. The collection is used by the Office to improve the Council and member agencies’ monitoring of the U.S. repo market through access to daily transaction data. The collection is also be used by Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) as input into the calculation of the SOFR and BGCR. The Council recognized in prior annual reports that fragilities in LIBOR made the financial system vulnerable to instability and recommended the creation of alternative reference rates such as the SOFR and BGCR , demonstrating the nexus of rate production to financial stability. The Office also uses these data for related duties and purposes as contemplated by the Dodd-Frank Act. The Office supports the Council and its member agencies by providing collected data. |

Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) Survey
Key Information
Abstract
OPM uses the CAHPS results as part of the FEHB Plan Performance Assessment (PPA). The PPA enables a consistent, objective evaluation of carrier performance and also provides more transparency for enrollees. This assessment uses a discrete set of quantifiable measures to examine key aspects of performance in the areas of clinical quality, customer service and resource use. Eight CAHPS measures are part of this discrete set of quantifiable measures. Taken together with more traditional assessments of contract administration, these measures help ensure that enrollees receive high quality affordable healthcare and a positive customer experience. The PPA is linked to carrier profit and premium adjustment factors. FEHB contracts include language to incorporate the PPA as a determinant of the Service Charge or Performance Adjustment. |
