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.

Oil and Gas, or Geothermal Resources: Transfers and Assignments (43 CFR Subparts 3106, 3135, and 3216)

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information enables the BLM to process assignments of record title interest and transfers of operating rights in a lease for oil and gas or geothermal resources. Each assignment or transfer is a contract between private parties but, by law, must be approved by the Secretary. The BLM uses information about assignments and transfers to prevent unlawful extraction of mineral resources, to ensure prompt payment of rentals and royalties for the rights obtained under a Federal lease, and to ensure that leases are not encumbered with agreements that cause the minerals to be uneconomical to produce, resulting in lost revenues to the Federal Government. The information also enables the BLM to ensure the assignee or transferee is in compliance with the bonding requirements, when necessary, before approval of the transfer or assignment. Form 3000-003 is used to transfer record title interest (i.e., primary ownership of a lease or the lessee’s interest). Form 3003-003a is used to transfer operating rights interest (i.e., also referred to as working interest or a sublease). This request is to extend for an additional three years OMB’s approval for this collection of information.

Implementation of the 2008 National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone: State Implementation Plan Requirements (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

Currently, the EPA has an existing OMB-approved ICR that estimates the burden on states for implementation-related activities associated with the 2008 ozone NAAQS for the period February 2018 to April 2021. States with nonattainment areas for the 2008 ozone NAAQS are implementing the NAAQS pursuant to the CAA and implementation regulations issued for that NAAQS. This proposed ICR renewal estimates the burden for states to meet the ongoing planning requirements that apply to their remaining nonattainment areas for the 2008 ozone NAAQS over the period April 2021 to April 2024. In addition, this ICR renewal includes a new burden estimate for state and EPA activities related to implementing the 2015 8-hour ozone standard, promulgated on October 1, 2015. Finally, this ICR renewal estimates a small amount of additional burden to states to meet the anti-backsliding requirements for the revoked 1997 ozone NAAQS.

Abstract

EPA's light-duty in-use vehicle testing program provides a spot-check audit of manufacturers' compliance with the provision of the Clean Air Act. The ICR covers the solicitation of owners for participation, the responses of those who are interested in participating, and the additional information collected from those who do participate. Vehicle owners who volunteer to participate are required to provide information regarding their vehicle before it is eligible to be accepted for testing. The information includes identification of the vehicle, optional scheduled maintenance records where available, problems with the vehicle, etc. This allows the Agency to procure properly maintained and used vehicles for testing. This ICR renews only the light-duty portion of EPA's in-use testing programs; the heavy-duty and off-road portions will be renewed separately.

General Administrative Requirements for Assistance Programs (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR authorizes the collection of information under EPAs General Regulation for Assistance Programs that establishes the minimum management requirements for all recipients of EPA grants or cooperative agreements (assistance agreements). In addition, this ICR includes EPAs Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program as a result of the relocation of the DBE Program from the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) to the Office of Grants and Debarment (OGD). Information collection activities for the DBE Program were previously covered under OMB Control Number 2090-0030. For awards made prior to December 26, 2014, 40 CFR Part 30, Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations, establishes the management requirements for institutions of higher education, hospitals, and other non-profit organizations, as well as procurement requirements for non-governmental recipients. For awards made prior to December 26, 2014, 40 CFR Part 31, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments, includes the management requirements for States, local governments, and Indian Tribal governments. These regulations include only those provisions mandated by statute, required by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars, or added by EPA to ensure sound and effective financial assistance management. For awards made on or after December 26, 2014, 2 CFR 200 and EPAs implementation of 2 CFR 200 at 2 CFR 1500 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards establishes the management requirements for all entity types. 40 CFR Part 35 outlines policies and procedures for assistance agreements to State, interstate, and local agencies and Indian Tribes and Intertribal Consortia for pollution abatement and control programs (listed in Subparts A and B). For all awards, 40 CFR Part 33 Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Procurement under Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Financial Assistance Agreements establishes DBE utilization requirements for all entity types. These regulations include only those provisions mandated by statute or added by EPA to ensure sound and effective financial assistance management with respect to DBE utilization. This ICR combines all of these requirements under OMB Control Number 2030-0020. EPA award officials will use the information required by these regulations to make assistance agreement awards, to make assistance payments, and to verify that the recipient is using Federal funds appropriately to comply with Federal requirements.

Pacific Northwest Households Recreation Use Survey

Key Information

Abstract

On May 16, 2016 U.S. District Court Judge Simon ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), and Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) to produce a comprehensive environmental impact statement (EIS) by March 26, 2021 after finding that the National Marine Fisheries Service biological opinion (BiOp) on the operation of the Federal Columbia River Power System violated the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and that the Corps and BOR violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for failing to prepare an EIS upon deciding to implement the BiOp reasonable and prudent alternative. As part of the EIS, the Corps was tasked with evaluating changes in the economic value provided by water-based recreation. The purpose of this survey effort is to gather information that will support development of a water-based recreational demand model for the Columbia River Basin. The model will be used to evaluate recreational impacts associated with alternatives identified within the CRSO EIS. Sampled individuals will be contacted via mail to complete a web survey. A targeted non-respondent follow-up survey will also be sent to assess the potential for non-response bias. This collection was originally approved by OMB for two years as a part of this effort. However, based on an Oct. 19, 2018 Presidential memorandum that addressed streamlining federal agency decision-making, the schedule for the EIS was shortened by a year to September 30, 2020. The Corps, BPA, and BOR jointly developed the Columbia River System Operations (CRSO) EIS, meeting the required September 30, 2020 deadline for the Record of Decision. Due to the expedited schedule however, the Corps was unable to implement the approved the survey for the initial EIS. However, the Columbia River System litigation continues, with multiple complaints filed against the recently completed CRSO EIS citing that the EIS does not comply with the requirements of NEPA. Anticipating that the Corps will be required to address potential shortfalls in the initial EIS, it is requested that the Pacific Northwest Households Recreation Use Survey implementation timeframe be extended.

Request to Show Cause for Failure to Appear

Key Information

Abstract

When claimants who request a hearing before a judge fail to appear at their scheduled hearing, the judge may reschedule the hearing if the claimants establish good cause for missing the hearing. To establish good cause, following: (1) SSA did not properly notify the claimant of the hearing, or (2) an unexpected event occurred without sufficient time for the claimant to request a postponement. The claimants can use paper Form HA-L90 or HA-L90-OP1 to provide their reason for not appearing at their scheduled hearings; or the claimants’ representatives can use Electronic Records Express (ERE), OMB Control No. 0960-0753, to submit the forms online. SSA uses the HA-L90 for new cases, and the HA-L90-OP1 for redeterminations cases. We need two versions of the paper form, as the judge follows different procedures when determining the good cause on redetermination cases (cases that have a prior decision and evidence on file), than they do for new cases (where we have no evidence on file). If the judge determines the claimants established good cause for failure to appear at the hearing, the judge will schedule a supplemental hearing; if not, the judge will make a claims eligibility determination based on the claimants’ evidence of record. Respondents are claimants, or their representatives, seeking to establish good cause for failure to appear at a scheduled hearing before a judge.

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for extension of a currently approved collection. The Office of Law Enforcement, Alaska Division, is conducting a survey of North Pacific Observers to determine the number of observers who experienced victimizing behavior during deployments in a given year. The survey will also investigate the reasons that prevented observers from reporting these violations. The results of the survey will provide the Office of Law Enforcement a better understanding of how often observers are victimized, which will enable them to reallocate resources as needed, conduct more training for observers to ensure they know how to report, conduct training to ensure people understand what constitutes a victim crime, and to increase awareness of potential victimizations. Additionally, the survey results will help law enforcement understand the barriers to disclosure, so enforcement may begin to address these impediments so they no longer prevent observers from disclosure.

3D Nation Elevation Requirements and Benefits Study

Key Information

Abstract

This is a request for extension of an approved information collection. NOAA, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and partner agencies work to continually improve the technology systems, data, and services that provide information about 3D elevation data and related applications within the United States. By periodically assessing business uses and associated benefits from improved 3D mapping data, the agencies can more effectively prioritize and direct investments that will best serve user needs over time. The 3D Nation Study is a follow-on to the National Enhanced Elevation Assessment (NEEA) white paper finalized in 2012 (NEEA overview can be found at https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2012/3088/). The 3D Nation Study incorporates coastal and ocean requirements for elevation data together with terrestrial elevation data needs. The study assesses needs for 3D elevation data in terms of Mission Critical Activities, geographic extents of data needs, collection standards and accuracy requirements, frequency needed, and anticipated benefits of having the required data. Because 3D data are collected and used to meet a wide range of mission critical needs, the 3D Nation Study seeks input from managers and data users from a variety of government entities (e.g., Federal, State, local, Tribal) as well as not for profit, academic, and private/commercial entities. The findings will update a baseline of national business needs and associated benefits for 3D data and associated technologies. This study is intended to inform the design of directed future programs that balance requirements, benefits, and costs at a national scale. More information is available at https://my.usgs.gov/confluence/display/3DNationStudy. From lessons learned with the 2018 survey, NOAA and USGS will ask the same questions, but will change how those questions are shown in the online survey tool to enable respondents to streamline their input and save time in answering.
