Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker

ICR Definition

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.

Abstract

This is a request for approval of a new collection of information covering non-medical waivers and exemptions. The ICR estimates the burden an individual, motor carrier, State, or SDLA incurs to comply with the mandatory reporting tasks required for requesting waivers and exemptions in 49 CFR part 381. The FMCSRs require a motor carrier or individual seeking relief from one or more regulations to submit their request for a waiver or an exemption in writing. Section 4007 of TEA-21 requires that the terms and conditions for all waivers and exemptions likely achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater than what would be achieved by complying with the safety regulations. To satisfy this statutory test, persons requesting waivers or applying for exemptions must present a credible alternative to the regulation and explain how that alternative would likely achieve an equivalent or greater level of safety. If the waiver or exemption request were less effective than the applicable regulation, it would be difficult to demonstrate compliance with the statutory test. If there is insufficient information or data for FMCSA to conclude that the waiver or exemption would satisfy the statutory test, the agency must not grant the waiver or exemption. FMCSA requires an individual, motor carrier, State, or SDLA to comply with certain terms and conditions if they are granted an exemption under § 381.330. FMCSA applies to waivers the same terms and conditions for reporting accidents as it does for exemptions. Each applicant covered by a waiver must notify FMCSA, via email at MCPSD@dot.gov, within 5 business days of any accident (as defined in 49 CFR 390.5), involving its drivers or CMVs operating under the terms of the waiver. Exemptions may be renewed upon request for subsequent 5-year periods. Exemption holders requesting a renewal must provide the same information as described in § 381.310. Each individual, motor carrier, State, or SDLA covered by an exemption must notify FMCSA via email at MCPSD@dot.gov within 5 business days of any accident (as defined in 49 CFR 390.5), involving the individual, motor carrier, or CMV operating under the terms of the exemption. IC-1 consists of three reporting and recordkeeping tasks an individual, motor carrier, State, or State Drivers Licensing Agency (SDLA) performs regarding the waiver application process required by § 381.210. IC-2 consists of three reporting and recordkeeping tasks an individual, motor carrier, State, or SDLA performs regarding the exemption application process required by § 381.310. IC-3 consists of the same three reporting and recordkeeping tasks an individual, motor carrier, State, or SDLA performs to renew an exemption regarding the exemption application process required by § 381.310. The annual information collection burden for respondents associated with this information collection is 95 hours with an associated cost of $8,476.

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Refractory Products Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart SSSSS) were proposed on June 20, 2002, and promulgated on April 16, 2003. These regulations apply to each refractory products manufacturing facility which produces refractory bricks, refractory shapes, monolithics, kiln furniture, crucibles, and other materials used as linings for boilers, kilns, and other processing units and equipment where extreme temperature, corrosions, and abrasion would destroy other materials. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that manufacture refractory products and use organic hazardous air pollutant (HAP), chromium refractory, and clay refractory products. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. Amendments to the NESHAP are being promulgated as a result of the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA) (as discussed further below). This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart SSSSS. The promulgated amendments to the rule eliminate the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM plan and SSM recordkeeping requirements; require electronic submittal of performance test results; add standards for mercury and non-mercury metal HAP from new and existing clay refractory kilns, add requirements around the work practice standard that applies when a continuous kiln total hydrocarbon (THC) control device is bypassed for scheduled maintenance; and make miscellaneous technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the NESHAP remain unchanged. This ICR estimates the additional burden due to the rule amendments for HAP-major source refractory products manufacturing facilities in addition to the burden estimates for provisions that are unchanged by the amendments.

Abstract

This supporting statement addresses information collection activities that will be imposed by amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Flexible Polyurethane Foam Fabrication Operations source category, 40 CFR part 63, subpart MMMMM, referred to as the Flexible Foam Fabrication Operations NESHAP. These amendments were proposed by notice published in the Federal Register on January 11, 2021 (86 FR 1868).The original Flexible Foam Fabrication NESHAP standards were proposed on August 8, 2001 (66 FR 41729), promulgated on April 14, 2003 (68 FR 18062), and amended on April 20, 2006 (71 FR 20470). This subpart applies to each existing, new, or reconstructed affected source at facilities engaged in flexible polyurethane foam fabrication. For the purpose of the rule, flexible polyurethane foam fabrication is further divided into the following two types of affected sources: 1) loop slitter adhesive use; and 2) flame lamination. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after August 8, 2001. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MMMMM. As part of the residual risk and technology reviews (RTR) for the NESHAP, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending the rule to: correct and clarify regulatory provisions related to emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM); add requirements for electronic reporting of performance test results and other compliance-related reports; include additional requirements for applicability/compliance performance testing; and add an emission limitation for specified affected sources. This information collection request documents the recordkeeping and reporting requirements and burden imposed by these amendments. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notification reports, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all affected facilities subject to the NESHAP.

Abstract

FERC-505 includes applications, notices of intent, and related information collection activities for: • Small hydropower project licenses and relicenses; • Exemptions; and • Determinations of a qualifying conduit hydropower facility. Small hydropower projects are minor water power projects and major water power projects that have an installed capacity of 10 MW or less. They may be licensed under Part I of the Federal Power Act, but some small hydropower projects may be eligible for an exemption. There are two types of FERC hydropower exemptions: (1) exemptions for qualifying conduit hydropower facilities; and (2) exemptions for small projects of 10 MW or less. A qualifying conduit hydropower facility, as defined in section 30 of the FPA, is an existing or proposed hydroelectric facility that utilizes for electric power generation the hydroelectric potential of a conduit, or any tunnel, canal, pipeline, aqueduct, flume, ditch, or similar manmade water conveyance that is not primarily used for the generation of electricity. A Notice of Intent to Construct Qualifying Conduit Hydropower Facilities under 18 CFR 4.401, which is discussed above, is required in order to seek a determination by the Commission that the proposed facility is in accordance with criteria listed at section 30 of the FPA. If the Commission issues such a determination, the facility is not required to be licensed or exempted by the Commission under Part I of the FPA. A 10-MW exemption, as defined in section 405(d) of PURPA, is a project that utilizes for electric generation the water potential of either an existing non-federal dam or a natural water feature (e.g., natural lake, water fall, gradient of a stream, etc.) without the need for a dam or man-made impoundment. The respondents for this information collection include citizens of the United States, corporations organized under the laws of United States or any State thereof, State governments, and municipalities.

Abstract

FERC-500 consists of applications and other information collection activities in accordance with the Federal Power Act (FPA). The FPA authorizes the Commission to grant hydropower licenses to any citizen of the United States, to any corporation organized under federal or State laws, or to any State or municipality. Holders of such licenses construct, operate, and maintain dams, water conduits, reservoirs, power houses, transmission lines, or other project works necessary or convenient for the development and improvement of navigation and for the development, transmission, and utilization of power across, along, from, or in any of the streams or other bodies of water over which Congress has jurisdiction. The respondents for this information collection include citizens of the United States, corporations organized under the laws of United States or any State thereof, State governments, and municipalities. . Before October 4, 2021, FERC-500 applied only to projects with an installed capacity of more than 5 MW. On August 5, 2021, the Commission published a final rule that affected the paperwork burdens of FERC-500 by changing the regulatory threshold for certain licensing requirements from 5 megawatts (MW) to 10 MW. As a result, the regulatory threshold for FERC-500 is now projects with an installed capacity of more than 10 MW.

Why They Are Important

ICRs play a vital role in ensuring transparency and accountability in federal data collection. When federal agencies collect information from 10 or more "persons" (which includes individuals, businesses, and state, local, and tribal governments), they must submit an ICR to ensure that it fulfills their statutory missions, avoids unnecessary or duplicative requests, and minimizes burden on the American public. Additionally, Federal Register Notices (FRNs) and the opportunity for public comments provide a formal way for the public to be informed of proposed ICRs and participate in the process.

ICRs also serve as a key resource for tracking changes to federal data collections. The availability of detailed documentation, such as data collection instruments and methodologies, allows the general public to identify revisions in a timely manner. These may include revisions prompted by Executive Orders or statistical policies like OMB's Statistical Policy Directive No. 15 (SPD 15), which are often submitted as "nonsubstantive" or "nonmaterial" changes to a currently approved collection.[1] Furthermore, ICRs can help determine if a data collection has expired without renewal or has been intentionally discontinued. By reviewing ICRs, the public can better understand what data is being collected, how it evolves over time, and whether data collections have become inactive–often in response to shifting priorities and updated standards.

How To Use The Tool

The ICR tracking tool offers a user-friendly view of ICRs that have been recently submitted, reviewed, or are nearing expiration. By aggregating key data from individual ICRs, the tool allows users to view the current status of each request, including submission, conclusion, and expiration dates, details on whether any changes were made, authorizing statutes, and more. Users can search for specific information and filter results based on various criteria. If seeking additional information, various text fields are hyperlinked to the full ICR on RegInfo.gov and associated resources. The tool is updated on a daily basis to reflect the most current information available. Column descriptions are available below the table.
