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.

FERC-516, Electric Rate Schedules and Tariff Filings

Key Information

Abstract

Section 206 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824e, obligates the Commission to remedy unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory or preferential rates, terms, and conditions of transmission service. The FERC 516 collection contains the information collection requirements for developing, submitting, and reporting tariff information to the Commission. In this non-substantive change to the FERC-516 information collection to rollover the burden from a related information collection, the FERC-732. The FERC-732 has been an approved as information collection number since OMB approved the collection on January 24, 2007. Upon Commission staff review, the Commission has determined that the FERC-732: Electric Rate Schedules and Tariffs: Long-Term Firm Transmission Rights in Organized Electricity Markets belongs under the FERC-516 that encapsulates electric tariff filings. Upon OMB approval of this non-substantive update, the Commission plans to discontinue the FERC-732 collection.

FERC-542, Gas Pipeline Rates: Rate Tracking

Key Information

Abstract

The FERC-542 contains the following information collections: (1) Research, development, and deployment expenditures; (2) annual charge adjustments (ACA) and (3) periodic rate adjustments. The Natural Gas Act (NGA) requires FERC to regulate the transmission and sale of natural gas for resale in interstate commerce and to ensure the rates jurisdictional natural gas pipelines charge are just and reasonable. It provides FERC with the authority to implement NGA mandates through its rules and regulations. FERC allows jurisdictional pipelines to flow through to their customers such costs as fuel or electric power costs necessary to operate compressor stations as well as the costs of storage services; research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) expenditures and FERC annual charge adjustment (ACA) assessments. To ensure these charges result in just and reasonable rates, FERC requires jurisdictional pipelines to file detailed and summary information on these flowed costs in the FERC-542. Analyses of FERC-542 data helps the Commission evaluate the charges to ensure compliance with NGA rate requirements.

Service Difficulty Report

Key Information

Abstract

The Service Difficulty Reporting (SDR) Program requires air carriers and repair stations to disclose occurrences of detections of failures, malfunctions, or defects. Information is collected and made available to internal and external stakeholders based on policy. Stakeholders use this data to determine service performance of aeronautical products. When defects are likely to exist, The FAA may disseminate safety information to a particular section of the aviation community. The FAA may also use this data to create new regulations or issue Airworthiness Directives (AD’s) that address a specific problem, as the data may identify mechanical failures, malfunctions, and defects that indicate a hazard to the operation of an aircraft. It may also identify trends on airworthiness related concerns.

Rupture Mitigation Valve Notification Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

The Pipeline Safety Regulations require operators to notify PHMSA in certain instances regarding their rupture-mitigation valve operations. 49 CFR § 192.634 and 49 CFR § 195.418 require operators who elect to use alternative equivalent technology to notify the Office of Pipeline Safety at least 90 days in advance of use. An operator choosing this option must include a technical and safety evaluation, including design, construction, and operating procedures for the alternative equivalent technology with the notification. PHMSA expects most operators to use standard technology and, as such, estimates this notification requirement will result in approximately 4 responses annually. PHMSA estimates each operator will spend 40 hours annually compiling the necessary components of this notification requirement. Operators must notify PHMSA if a rupture-mitigation valve cannot be made operational within 14 days of installation. Operators must also notify PHMSA if a valve cannot be repaired or replaced within 12 months. PHMSA expects roughly 10 percent of operators to experience these circumstances taking 2 hours to complete the notification requirement. An operator may seek exemption from certain regulatory requirements by notifying PHMSA in certain instances. An operator may plan to leave a rupture-mitigation valve open for more than 30 minutes following a rupture identification if the operator demonstrates to PHMSA, that closing a rupture mitigation valve, or alternative equivalent technology, would be detrimental to public safety. Likewise, for hazardous liquid pipeline segments in a non-HCA area or a non-HCA could-affect segment, an operator may request exemption from certain requirements if it can demonstrate to PHMSA that installing an otherwise-required rupture-mitigation valve, or alternative equivalent technology, would be economically, technically, or operationally infeasible.

The School District Review Program (SDRP)

Key Information

Abstract

The School District Review Program (SDRP) is a U.S. Department of Education National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) sponsored program conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau. It is of vital importance for each state’s allocation under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as amended by Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, Public Law 114-95. School district information submitted through this program, along with the decennial census population, Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates, and current population estimates, are used in forming the Census Bureau’s estimates of the number of children ages 5 through 17 in families in poverty for each school district. The U.S. Department of Education uses these estimates to allocate more than $16 billion annually in Title I funds. The SDRP encompasses the review of Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 school districts as defined by the NCES. Type 1 is a local school district that is not a component of a supervisory union. Type 2 is a local school district component of a supervisory union sharing a superintendent and administrative services with other local school districts. Type 3 is an education agency that performs administrative services for more than one school district, providing a common superintendent for participating districts. Respondents to the SDRP are the mapping coordinators and Title I Coordinators from the fifty states and the District of Columbia. NCES also anticipates the inclusion of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in the next three years. Mapping coordinators are designated by the state departments of education and are tasked with reviewing and providing updates for school district boundaries, federal school district local education agency codes, names, grade ranges, and levels to the Census Bureau. Title I Coordinators are responsible for overseeing the SDRP and reviewing all materials. There are two phases to the SDRP: the Annotation Phase and Verification Phase. During the Annotation Phase, the Census Bureau provides mapping coordinators with materials containing the latest school district boundaries and school district information that the Census Bureau has on file for their state. Mapping coordinators review the data and submit any changes to the Census Bureau. The Census Bureau reviews and processes the information submitted by the mapping coordinator and updates the Master Address File/Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Reference (MAF/TIGER) System. During the Verification Phase, mapping coordinators verify that the Census Bureau updated the MAF/TIGER System accurately and completely with updates submitted during the Annotation Phase.

Certification Procedures for Products and Parts

Key Information

Abstract

The FAA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), 88 FR 47650, July 24, 2024, that proposed amendments of rules related to the certification, maintenance, and operation of light-sport category aircraft. That NPRM also provided notice of amendments to this information collection to align with final rulemaking, including changes to both FAA Form 8130-6 and FAA Form 8130-15. The specific changes to FAA Form 8130-6 include updated the “LIGHT-SPORT” field to accommodate any aircraft class, Updated the “RESTRICTED” filed to add newly codified operations, Experimental number 8 operating light-sport is a single option with new name “operating former light-sport category aircraft,” Updated the “EXPERIMENTAL” field to add new purpose for “operating light-sport category kit-built aircraft,” Updated the “EXPERIMENTAL” field to add new purpose for “operating former-military aircraft. The specific changes to FAA Form 8130-15 include updated name of form to “Light-Sport Category Aircraft / Kit Statement of Compliance, updated the “Check applicable items” field to change the 14 CFR reference for kits, accommodate any aircraft class, and indicate whether the aircraft meets eligibility requirements in part 61 for a sport pilot. Updated the “FAA Applicable Accepted Standard(s)” and revise statement(s) to remove references to 14 CFR LSA definition and ensure new statements required by this rule are included and updated the certifying statement field to add training/certification credentials for the person signing the form. All responses to this collection of information are required to obtain or retain benefits per 14 CFR Part 21. Any identity may initiate a certification. This information is used to (1) collect the name of the party, corporation, or organization to whom the Type Certificate, Amended Type Certificate, Production Certificate, Supplemental Type Certificate, or Amended Supplemental Type Certificate will be issued. This is necessary because the same name will appear on the certificate exactly as it is entered in this form. Also, to obtain the signature of the certifying official which must be the holder or the person duly authorized to sign for the holder, company, or corporation. FAA Airworthiness safety inspectors, designated inspectors, engineers, and designated engineering representatives review the required data submittals to determine whether the aviation products and /or articles, or their manufacturing facilities, comply with the applicable regulatory requirements, and that the products and articles have no unsafe features. Those products and articles, and their facilities that do comply with the minimum regulatory requirements, are issued an appropriate approval or certificate. A probable unsafe condition could exist for the owner /operator of the product or article, and /or the public, if the certification procedures for products and articles required by Title 14 CFR Part 21 were not followed. The collection of the information referenced herein is based on the applicants need, not a set time or frequency. Information collected is required as needed, to be used by the Aircraft Certification Office Branch in the geographical area of the applicant in order to initiate the certification project and gather resources to work on the particular certification project.

Rule 139b, Disclosure of Standardized Performance

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 139b under the Securities Act of 1933 (17 CFR 230.139b) allows unaffiliated broker-dealers participating in a securities offering of a registered investment fund to publish or distribute research reports about the investment fund without these reports being treated as offers that require registration under securities laws. When broker-dealers include performance information in these research reports, they must present it in a standardized format consistent with existing rules. This standardization protects investors from potentially misleading or confusing performance presentations, enable investors to make meaningful comparisons between different investment funds, and maintains market integrity by ensuring research reports are not disguised as marketing materials. Rule 139b is a third party disclosure requirement, with the primary recipients being investors and the general public who read these research reports published by broker-dealers.

Generic Clearance for Questionnaire Pretesting Research

Key Information

Abstract

The research will be used by the Census Bureau and the survey sponsors to improve questionnaires and procedures, reduce respondent burden, and ultimately increase the quality of data collected in Census Bureau censuses and surveys. The clearance will be used to conduct pretesting of decennial, demographic, and economic census and survey questionnaires prior to fielding them. Pretesting activities will involve one of the following methods for identifying measurement problems with the questionnaire or survey procedure: cognitive interviews, focus groups, respondent debriefing, behavior coding of respondent/interviewer interaction, and split panel tests.
