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 information is required by the Coast Guard in order to assure that a vessel meets the applicable stability standards. Plans and other information submitted are normally developed by the shipyard, designer, or manufacturer to assure the construction and safe operation of a vessel. The material and information required is not solely for Coast Guard use, although the material does contain the information necessary to meet Coast Guard regulations. Part of the submissions are nonrecurring; they are made only once at or prior to vessel construction or alteration. Resubmission of plans is not required when more than one vessel is constructed to the same plans, nor is a stability generally test required. In this case, only a certification of sister ship status by an authorized officer of the shipbuilding company is needed. Operators may elect to have a classification society, the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), review their plans on the Coast Guard’s behalf.

Pub.L. 114 - 125 130 Stat. 122 (View Law)

Abstract

The collections of information related to the drawback process are required as per 19 CFR part 190 (Modernized Drawback), which provides for refunds of duties, taxes, and fees for certain merchandise that is imported into the United States where there is a subsequent related exportation or destruction. All claims for drawback, sometimes referred to as TFTEA-Drawback, must be filed electronically in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), in accordance with the Trade Facilitation Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 (TFTEA) (Pub. L. 114–125, 130 Stat. 122), and in compliance with the regulations in part 190, 181 (NAFTA Drawback) and 182 (USMCA Drawback).  Specific information on completing a claim is available in the drawback CBP and Trade Automated Interface Requirement (CATAIR) document at: https://www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/ace-drawback-catair-guidelines. CBP Form 7553, Notice of Intent to Export, Destroy or Return Merchandise for Purposes of Drawback (NOI), documents both the exportation and destruction of merchandise eligible for drawback. The NOI is the official notification to CBP that an exportation or destruction will occur for drawback eligible merchandise. The CBP Form 7553 has been updated to comply with TFTEA-Drawback requirements and is accessible at http://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms. Relevant Regulations and Statutes: Title 19, part 190 - https://ecfr.io/Title-19/Part-190 19 USC 1313 - https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2011-title19/pdf/USCODE-2011-title19-chap4-subtitleII-partI-sec1313.pdf 19 USC 1313 authorizes the information collected on the CBP form 7553 as well as in the ACE system for the electronic drawback claim. The New Data Elements in ACE for Drawback include the following: 1. Substituted Value per Unit 2. Entry Summary Line Item Number 3. Bill of Materials/Formula 4. Certificate of Delivery/Drawback Eligibility Indicator 5. Import Tracing Identification Number (ITIN) 6. Manufacture Tracing Identification Number (MTIN) 7. Certification for Valuation of Destroyed Merchandise 8. Substituted Unused Wine Certification 9. Certification of Eligibility for AP and/or WPN Privilege(s) 10. Identification of Accounting Methodology 11. Indicator for Notice of Intent to Export or Destroy 12. Indicator for Waiver of Drawback Claim Rights New data elements added to the CBP Form 7553: 1. Continuation sheet(#15-19) 2. Line item number added (#15) 3. Rejected merchandise box added (#20) 4. Instructions were edited to comply with TFTEA-Drawback requirements This collection of information applies to the individuals and companies in the trade community who are and are not familiar with drawback, importing and exporting procedures, and with the CBP regulations. Please note that CBP Forms 7551 and 7552 are both abolished. From February 24, 2019, onward, TFTEA-Drawback, as provided for in part 190, is the only legal framework for filing drawback claims. No new drawback claims may be filed under the paper-based processes previously provided for in part 191 (Drawback). Sections 190.51, 190.52, and 190.53 provide the requirements to submit a drawback claim electronically. The provisions of part 190 are similar to the provisions in part 191, except where necessary to outline all the data elements for a complete claim (previously contained in CBP form 7551) and modify those requirements to comply with TFTEA-Drawback. CBP form 7552, Certificates of Delivery and Certificates of Manufacturing & Delivery will no longer be requested or accepted to demonstrate the transfer of merchandise. Sections 190.10 and 190.24 require that any transfers of merchandise must be evidenced by business records, as defined in section 190.2.

Abstract

The National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) for Lead and Copper (The Lead and Copper Rule or LCR), promulgated by the EPA in 1991, is a regulation promulgated under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The LCRs goal is to reduce the levels of lead and copper in drinking water. The Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) require community and non-transient non-community water systems to optimize corrosion control and, under specified conditions, install source water treatment, conduct public education, and/or replace lead service lines (LSLs) in the distribution system. The LCRR also expands public education requirements for lead, requires greater public access to information on lead, and further targets sensitive subpopulations by requiring additional lead in drinking water testing at schools and childcare facilities. This ICR estimates the incremental burden impacts of revisions to the LCR in terms of the burden and costs for the first three years after the final rule is published (estimated as 2020). It modifies the extension to the ICR entitled Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts, Chemical, and Radionuclides Rules (80 Federal Register 78224, December 16, 2015, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number 2040-0204), which expires on March 31, 2023 and estimates the burden and costs associated with the previous LCR, as well as other rules, (the 2015 ICR).The Long-Term Revisions are intended to strengthen the implementation of the LCR in the areas of CCT, customer awareness, and LSLR. The changes are expected to ensure and enhance the protection of public health through the reduction in lead exposure in drinking water. The AL and maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) have not changed in the LCRR. A new lead TL, however, has been added.

If a bridge is determined to be unreasonably obstructive under the Truman-Hobbs Act, then under the provisions of 33 U.S.C. 514 the bridge owner is required to prepare and submit general plans, specifications, and, if necessary geographic location to provide for the alteration of the unreasonably obstructive bridge. These plans and specifications submitted by the bridge owner will assist the Commandant in determining under the provisions of 33 U.S.C. 516 the apportionment of cost between the United States and the bridge owner and under 33 U.S.C. 517 the partial payments to be made by the United States to the bridge owner as the alteration progresses.

Abstract

The Secretary of State may exercise authority, under 22 U.S.C. 211a, Executive Order 11295 (August 5, 1966), and 22 C.F.R. 51.63, to invalidate all U.S. passports for travel to a country or area if he determines that any of three conditions exist: the country is at war with the United States; armed hostilities are in progress in the country or area; or there is imminent danger to the public health or physical safety of U.S. travelers in the country or area. The regulations of the Department of State provide that an individual’s passport may be considered for validation for travel to, in, or through a country or area despite such restriction if the individual’s travel is determined to fall within one of several categories established by the regulations. 22 C.F.R. 51.64. Without the requisite validation, use of a U.S. passport for travel to, in, or through a restricted country or area may justify revocation of the passport for misuse under 22 C.F.R. 51.62(a)(2) and subject the traveler to felony prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 1544 for misuse of a passport or other applicable laws. The categories of persons specified in 22 C.F.R. 51.64(b) as being eligible for consideration for passport validation are as follows: (a) An applicant who is a professional reporter and journalist whose trip is for the purpose of collecting and making available to the public information about the restricted country or area; (b) An applicant who is a representative of the American Red Cross or the International Committee of the Red Cross on official mission to the restricted country or area; (c) An applicant whose trip to the restricted country or area is justified by compelling humanitarian considerations; or (d) An applicant whose trip to the restricted country or area is otherwise in the national interest. The proposed information collection solicits data necessary for the Passport Services Directorate to determine whether an applicant is eligible to receive a special validation in his or her U.S. passport book permitting the applicant to make one round-trip to a restricted country or area.

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.
