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.

Abstract

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) requests approval for non-substantive change to NASS’s Confidentiality Pledge. In the summer of 2025, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requested that NASS update its confidentiality pledge. This change to NASS Confidentiality Pledge would affect all surveys conducted under NASS’s 34 active Information Collections (ICs). Current Language: “Your responses will be kept confidential and any person who willfully discloses ANY identifiable information about you or your operation is subject to a jail term, a fine, or both.” Proposed Revision: “Your responses will be kept confidential and any person who willfully discloses ANY identifiable information about you and your operations without your consent is subject to a jail term, a fine, or both.”

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

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR covers information collection activities associated with EPAs proposed rule to reconsider the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding (endangerment finding), with respect to light- and medium-duty vehicles (LMDV). EPA is proposing the removal of all regulations that require new motor vehicle and new motor vehicle engine manufacturers to measure, report, or comply with standards for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The proposed rule would include the removal of regulations in Parts 85, 86, 600, 1036, 1037, and 1039 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that pertain to the control of GHG emissions from highway light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as emission standards, test procedures, averaging, banking, and trading (ABT) reporting, and or fleet-average emission requirements. As a result of the proposed changes, engine and vehicle manufacturers would no longer have any future obligations for the measurement, control, and reporting of GHG emissions for any highway engine and vehicle, including model years manufactured prior to the proposal. However, EPA is not reopening and retains, without modification regulations necessary for criteria pollutant and air toxic measurement and standards, Corporate Average Fuel Economy testing, and associated fuel economy labeling requirements. This Information Collection Request, EPA ICR 2750.03, revises EPA ICR 2750.02 (OMB Control Number 2060-0764), originally prepared for EPAs 2024 LMDV vehicle rulemaking and updates the information collection burden contained in that request. EPA ICR 2750.02 (the 2024 ICR) contained the information collection requirements for EPAs criteria pollutant and GHG emissions programs adopted in the 2024 rulemaking. This ICR 2759.03, revises the 2024 ICR to remove the activities associated with EPAs proposal to remove GHG regulations, as briefly described in Section 12 below and in more detail in Supplemental Information, Section 8. The information collection burden for the remaining non-GHG regulations originally set out in the original Information Collection Request EPA ICR 2750.02 would remain, and manufacturers would continue to be required to submit that data to EPAs certification system. There were no information collection activities related to Corporate Average Fuel Economy testing and associated fuel economy labeling in the original Information Collection Request, EPA ICR 2750.02.

This ICR covers information collection activities associated with EPAs proposed rule to reconsider the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding (endangerment finding), with respect to heavy-duty vehicles (HDV). EPA is proposing the removal of all regulations that require new motor vehicle and new motor vehicle engine manufacturers to measure, report, or comply with standards for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The proposed rule would include the removal of regulations in Parts 85, 86, 600, 1036, 1037, and 1039 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that pertain to the control of GHG emissions from highway light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as emission standards, test procedures, averaging, banking, and trading (ABT) reporting, and or fleet-average emission requirements. As a result of the proposed changes, engine and vehicle manufacturers would no longer have any future obligations for the measurement, control, and reporting of GHG emissions for any highway engine and vehicle, including model years manufactured prior to the proposal. However, EPA is not reopening and retains, without modification, regulations necessary for criteria pollutant and air toxic measurement and standards, Corporate Average Fuel Economy testing, and associated fuel economy labeling requirements. This Information Collection Request, EPA ICR 2734.03, revises EPA ICR 2734.02 (OMB Control Number 2060-0753), originally prepared for EPAs 2024 HD Phase 3 (HDP3) rulemaking and updates the information collection burden contained in that request. EPA ICR 2734.02 (the 2024 ICR) contained the information collection requirements for EPAs HDV GHG emissions program adopted in the 2024 rulemaking. This ICR 2734.03 revises the 2024 ICR to remove the activities associated with EPAs proposal to remove GHG regulations, as briefly described in Section 12 and in more detail in Supplemental Information, Section 8. There were no non-GHG information collection activities included in the 2024 rulemaking or in the 2024 ICR, and therefore, the net effect of this revised ICR is to remove the entire information collection burden contained in the 2024 ICR.

Abstract

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) requests approval for non-substantive change to NASS’s Confidentiality Pledge. In the summer of 2025, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requested that NASS update its confidentiality pledge. This change to NASS Confidentiality Pledge would affect all surveys conducted under NASS’s 34 active Information Collections (ICs). Current Language: “Your responses will be kept confidential and any person who willfully discloses ANY identifiable information about you or your operation is subject to a jail term, a fine, or both.” Proposed Revision: “Your responses will be kept confidential and any person who willfully discloses ANY identifiable information about you and your operations without your consent is subject to a jail term, a fine, or both.”
