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.

10 CFR Part 21, Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance

Key Information

Abstract

Part 21 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), requires each individual, corporation, partnership, commercial grade dedicating entity, or other entity subject to the regulations in this part to adopt appropriate procedures to evaluate deviations and failures to comply to determine whether a defect exists that could result in a substantial safety hazard. Depending upon the outcome of the evaluation, a report of the defect must be submitted to the NRC. Reports submitted under 10 CFR part 21 are reviewed by the NRC staff to determine whether the reported defects or failures to comply in basic components at the NRC licensed facilities or activities are potentially generic safety problems. These reports have been the basis for the issuance of numerous NRC Generic Communications that have contributed to the improved safety of the nuclear industry. The records required to be maintained in accordance with 10 CFR part 21 are subject to inspection by the NRC to determine compliance with the subject regulation.

Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection
Criminal Penalty Safe Harbor Provision

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request (ICR) is to seek approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for reinstatement without modification of a previously approved information collection. This information collection is for reporting submitted on an as-needed basis. The reporting is required to obtain a benefit. 49 U.S.C. § 30170 allows a person to seek “safe harbor” from potential criminal liability for violating 18 U.S.C. § 1001 with respect to the reporting requirements of 49 U.S.C. § 30166. Respondents are motor vehicle and motor vehicle equipment manufacturers, including officers or employees thereof, and other persons who respond to or have a duty to respond to an information collection pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 30166 or a regulation, requirement, request, or order issued thereunder. The information collection applies to persons who seek “safe harbor” under § 30170. In order to qualify, a respondent must: (1) at the time of the violation, not know that the violation would result in an accident causing death or serious bodily injury; and (2) correct any improper reports or failure to report within a reasonable time. NHTSA anticipates using the information collection to evaluate a person’s application for protection from criminal prosecution and to aid in the identification of potential safety defects in motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment. However, no information has been collected under this information collection since it was established in 2000. Since the last time NHTSA sought approval for this information collection notice, the total burden hours remain the same at two hours annually, and the total burden costs were revised to reflect a change in postage, resulting in a total of $9.65.

30 CFR 582, Operations in the OCS for Minerals Other than Oil, Gas, and Sulfur

Key Information

Abstract

The OCSLA (43 U.S.C. 1334 and 43 U.S.C. 1337(k)(1)) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to issue regulations to grant to qualified persons who offer the highest cash bonus on a basis of competitive bidding, leases of any mineral other than oil, gas, and sulfur in any area of the OCS not then under lease for such mineral upon such royalty, rental, and other terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe at the time of offering the area for lease. Regulations at 30 CFR part 582 carry out these statutory requirements by regulating mining operations within the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, and sulfur and establishing a comprehensive regulatory program for such minerals. There has been no competitive leasing activity in the OCS for minerals other than oil, gas, and sulfur for many years. Accordingly, BOEM has not generally collected information under this Part of its regulations. However, since these are regulatory requirements, the potential exists for information to be collected. Therefore, we are renewing OMB approval for this information collection. BOEM will use the information required by 30 CFR part 582 to determine if lessees are complying with the regulations for mining minerals other than oil, gas, sulfur. BOEM will also use the information to ensure that such operations are conducted in a manner that will result in orderly resource recovery and development, and the protection of the human, marine, and coastal environments and for technical and environmental evaluations which provide a basis for BOEM to make informed decisions to approve, disapprove, or require modification of the proposed activities.

Abstract

The National Marine Fisheries Service Alaska Region requests revision and extension of this currently approved information collection, which contains requirements for transfer of License Limitation Program (LLP) licenses for the commercial groundfish, crab, and scallop fisheries. This information collection contains three elements: the application to transfer crab and groundfish LLP licenses, the application to transfer scallop LLP licenses, and the process for transfer appeals. This collection is revised due to a final rule (RIN 0648-BL08) to implement Amendment 122 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area, which establishes a new limited access privilege program, the Pacific Cod Trawl Cooperative Program (PCTC Program). Due to this rule, the application to transfer groundfish and crab LLP licenses is revised to collect information on PCTC Program quota share transfers.

Hazardous Materials Safety Permits

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR renewal is mandatory reporting. The HM safety permit regulations require companies holding permits to develop a communications plan that allows for the periodic tracking of the shipment. This may be accomplished either through phone calls or radio calls placed by the driver or through an electronic monitoring or tracking system. These records must include the name of the driver, identification of the vehicle, permitted material(s) being transported, the date, location and time of each contact. A record of the communications may be kept by either the driver or the company and contains the time of the call and location of the shipment. These records must be kept, either physically or electronically, for at least six months at the company’s principal place of business or readily available to employees at the company’s principal place of business. There is no requirement for drivers to report the information to FMCSA. They are to record the information and keep it available for inspection. The program adjustment increase of 58,323 annual burden hours from the currently approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of motor carriers with active HM safety permits.

Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection
Customer Surveys

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) is seeking to reinstate and revise a previously approved information collection in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). This information collection is part of MSPB’s efforts to improve customer service delivery. The information collection instruments consist of short customer-focused surveys distributed through Qualtrics, MSPB’s survey platform. Through this collection and approval process, MSPB is complying with normal clearance procedures and meeting our commitments under Executive Order 12862, “Setting Customer Service Standards” (September 11, 1993). This Executive Order mandates agencies to identify their customers and survey them to determine the kind and quality of services they want and their level of satisfaction with existing services. The MSPB's customers and stakeholders include persons who file appeals with MSPB for agency actions taken against them (appellants), their representatives, and representatives of the agency which took the action. These surveys will be used to evaluate how well we are serving our customers in terms of their perceptions of timeliness, fairness, accessibility, and sensitivity to their situation in deciding their appeals. We also have used customer surveys to determine the usefulness of the reports issued by the Office of Policy & Evaluation. As a result of these surveys we have established baseline performance measures for both our appeals process and merit systems review responsibilities.

Abstract

The U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) is seeking to reinstate a previously approved information collection in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). This information collection is part of MSPB’s efforts to improve customer service delivery. The information collection instruments consist of short customer focused surveys distributed through Qualtrics, MSPB’s survey platform. Through this collection and approval process, MSPB is complying with normal clearance procedures and meeting our commitments under Executive Order 12862, “Setting Customer Service Standards” (September 11, 1993). The information collection activity will garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration's commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable communications between MSPB and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.

Self-Certifications under the Data Privacy Framework Program

Key Information

Abstract

The United States, the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland share a commitment to enhancing privacy protection, the rule of law, and a recognition of the importance of transatlantic data flows to our respective citizens, economies, and societies, but take different approaches to doing so. Given those differences, the Department of Commerce (DOC) developed the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF), and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) in consultation with the European Commission, the UK Government, the Swiss Federal Administration, industry, and other stakeholders. These arrangements were respectively developed to provide U.S. organizations reliable mechanisms for personal data transfers to the United States from the European Union, the United Kingdom (and, as applicable, Gibraltar), and Switzerland while ensuring data protection that is consistent with EU, UK, and Swiss law. The DOC is issuing the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, including the respective sets of Supplemental Principles (collectively the Principles) and Annex I of the Principles, as well as the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF under its statutory authority to foster, promote, and develop international commerce (15 U.S.C. 1512). The International Trade Administration (ITA) will administer and supervise the Data Privacy Framework program, including maintaining and making publicly available the Data Privacy Framework List, an authoritative list of U.S. organizations that have self-certified to the DOC and declared their commitment to adhere to the Principles pursuant to the EU-U.S. DPF and, as applicable, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF. On the basis of the Principles, Executive Order 14086, 28 CFR part 201, and accompanying letters and materials, including ITA's commitments regarding the administration and supervision of the Data Privacy Framework program, it is the DOC's expectation that the European Commission, the UK Government, and the Swiss Federal Administration will respectively recognize the adequacy of the protection provided by the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF thereby enabling personal data transfers from each respective jurisdiction to U.S. organizations participating in the relevant part of the Data Privacy Framework program. It is the DOC’s present expectation that the effective date of the EU-U.S. DPF Principles would coincide with the entry into force of the European Commission’s anticipated recognition of adequacy, whereas the respective effective dates of the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles would occur before the entry into force of the anticipated, respective recognitions of adequacy (i.e., to enable U.S. organizations from the earliest possible date to self-certify their compliance with multiple parts of the Data Privacy Framework program). Personal data cannot be received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF until they have respectively received such recognition (i.e., until such formal recognition enters into force). To initially self-certify or subsequently re-certify for the EU-U.S. DPF and, as applicable, UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF, an organization must on each occasion provide to the DOC a submission that contains the relevant information specified in the Principles. The submission must be made via the DOC's Data Privacy Framework program website by an individual within the organization who is authorized to make representations on behalf of the organization and any of its covered U.S. entities regarding its adherence to the Principles. Such an organization must respond promptly to inquiries and other requests for information from the DOC.

Abstract

The collection of the data such as full legal name, address, phone, social security number, birthdate, place of birth, country of citizenship is required to input into the USDA system of record, Empower Human Resources (EmpowHR), so that upon submission, it conforms to the data requirements set forth by USAccess. Please see Appendix B FNS 775 EmpowHR/Person Model which shows the required biographic data to be collected for system input. Legal authority for gathering of data fields mentioned above comes from the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (Appendix A Legal Authority). The Directive references HSPD-12 as the chosen standard for data collection for employees and contractors. HSPD-12 was issued on August 12, 2004 and calls for a mandatory, government-wide standard for secure and reliable ID for all of its employees and contractors to access federally-controlled facilities and networks. Based upon this directive, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) developed Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS Pub) 201. USDA’s LincPass card is designed to link a person’s identity to an ID credential and the credential to a person’s ability to physically and logically access federally controlled buildings and information systems, respectively. Authorizing statute includes 731.106(c)(2).

As respectively described in Annex I of the EU-U.S. DPF Principles, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and Annex I of the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles the DOC commits separately with the European Commission, the UK Government, and the Swiss Federal Administration to implement an arbitration mechanism to provide EU, UK, and Swiss individuals with the ability under certain circumstances to invoke binding arbitration to determine, for residual claims, whether an organization has violated its obligations under the Principles as to those individuals. Organizations that self-certify their compliance pursuant to the Swiss-U.S. DPF are obligated to arbitrate claims and follow the terms as set forth in Annex I of the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, provided that a Swiss individual has invoked binding arbitration by delivering notice to the organization at issue and following the procedures and subject to the conditions set forth in Annex I of the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles. Arbitral decisions will be binding on all parties to the arbitration. Under this binding arbitration option, a panel has the authority to impose relief necessary to remedy the violation of the Principles only with respect to the individual. Pursuant to the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, the DOC and the European Commission will develop and seek to maintain a list of at least 10 arbitrators. The parties, including the EU or UK individual who has invoked binding arbitration, will select arbitrators for the arbitration panel from that list of arbitrators developed under the EU-U.S. DPF (EU-U.S. DPF List of Arbitrators). Pursuant to the Swiss-U.S. DPF the DOC and the Swiss Federal Administration will develop and seek to maintain a list of up to five arbitrators to supplement the list of arbitrators developed under the EU-U.S. DPF. The parties, including the Swiss individual who has invoked binding arbitration, will select arbitrators for the arbitration panel from the list of arbitrators developed under the EU-U.S. DPF, as supplemented by the list of arbitrators developed under the Swiss-U.S. DPF (Swiss-U.S. DPF Supplemental List of Arbitrators). Individuals interested in being considered for inclusion on the EU-U.S. DPF List of Arbitrators or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Supplemental List of Arbitrators would submit their applications to the DOC online via email at dpf.program@trade.gov.

Network of Support Pilot Survey #2

Key Information

Abstract

The Network of Support Pilot Survey #2 will be administered by VA to participants of the NoS Pilot to assess their satisfaction with the Program and their perception of its utility. The NoS Pilot is a legislatively mandated Pilot Program that invites transitioning service members (TSMs) to opt-in to the Program and then nominate up to 10 close friends and family members to received regular VA-provided information on Veteran benefits and resources. While the legislation focuses on TSMs, separated Veterans may also choose to participate in the Pilot. The intent is to increase the likelihood that new Veterans will see, understand, and take advantage of their earned benefits, thereby easing what can be a difficult transition out of the military. This information collection request (ICR) will be the second of two surveys in the two-year pilot program – the first being NoS Survey #1 (Reference number 202007-2900-004) which was administered in December of 2022 and was legislatively mandated by Public Law (PL) 116-214, Section 101. The survey population includes all members of the pilot – maximum of 3,000 TSMs/Veterans and 30,000 of their nominated NoS members for a maximum total of 33,000. VA will use email with hyperlink to administer the electronic (i.e., Qualtrics) survey, limiting the burden on respondents. The survey will aid in VA’s assessment of the effectiveness of the NoS Pilot by: (1) examining the self-reported satisfaction and perceived utility via a series of closed and open-ended questions; (2) analyzing the relationship between participation in the NoS Pilot and certain characteristics of military service (e.g., military occupation specialty [MOS], time in service [TIS], combat exposure) and certain demographics and personal characteristic known or believed to be associated with negative post-transition mental health and/or life outcomes; (3) analyzing the relationship between participation in the NoS Pilot and the use of VA Benefits and resources; (4) identifying areas of improvement for the NoS Program. This assessment will inform a report to the Congress mandated by PL 116-214, Section 101.

Nonindigenous Aquatic Species eDNA Data and Metadata Submission Forms

Key Information

Abstract

More than 6,500 nonindigenous species are now established in the United States, posing risks to native species, valued ecosystems, and human and wildlife health. These invasive species extract a huge cost, an estimated $120 billion per year, to mitigate their harmful impacts. The current annual environmental, economic, and health-related costs of invasive species exceed those of all other natural disasters combined. Through its Invasive Species Program (http://www.usgs.gov/ecosystems/invasive_species/), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) plays an important role in Federal efforts to combat invasive species in natural and semi-natural areas through early detection and assessment of newly established invaders; monitoring of invading populations; and improving understanding of the ecology of invaders and factors in the resistance of habitats to invasion. The USGS provides the tools, technology, and information supporting efforts to prevent, contain, control, and manage invasive species nationwide. To meet user needs, the USGS also develops methods for compiling and synthesizing accurate and reliable data and information on invasive species for inclusion in a distributed and integrated web-based information system. As part of the USGS Invasive Species Program, the Nonindigenous Aquatic Species (NAS) database (http://nas.er.usgs.gov/) functions as a repository and clearinghouse for occurrence information on nonindigenous aquatic species from across the United States. It contains locality information on approximately 1,300 species of vertebrates, invertebrates, and vascular plants introduced since 1850. Taxa include foreign species as well as those native to North America that have been transported outside of their natural range. The NAS web site provides immediate access to new occurrence records through a real-time interface with the NAS database. Visitors to the web site can use a set of predefined queries to obtain lists of species according to state or hydrologic basin of interest. Fact sheets, distribution maps, and information on new occurrences are continually posted and updated. Dynamically generated species distribution maps show the spatial accuracy of the locations reported, population status, and links to more information about each report. Environmental DNA (eDNA) comprises genetic material that has been sloughed, excreted, or otherwise released into the environment and can be detected in water, soil, and air. For aquatic organisms, this includes skin, excrement, mucus, saliva, blood, and gametes. Collection of environmental samples can be screened for the presence of eDNA, allowing for the detection of low-density organisms before detectability by traditional sampling methods. The combination of traditional specimen sightings and eDNA detections can provide more complete species distribution records and significantly improve the ability to respond quickly to new invasions as part of an early detection rapid response (EDRR) system. Working with interagency eDNA experts, the NAS database has used a consensus method to identify and develop community data standards for integrating eDNA detection data.
