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.
Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

Motor Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Economy Compliance (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
EPA sets exhaust, evaporative, and greenhouse gas emissions standards for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) and light-duty trucks (LDTs) based on the authority granted to the Agency by the Clean Air Act (CAA). In addition, light-duty vehicle manufacturers use the results from the exhaust emission tests to calculate vehicle fuel economy. The fuel economy results are used to calculate fuel economy label values according to EPA regulations. EPA regulations define test procedures, in-use testing requirements, calculation methods, vehicle labeling, and reporting requirements for light-duty vehicle manufacturers. This ICR is organized into six information collections (ICs): 1) Fuel Economy; 2) Manufacturers In-Use Verification Program; 3) Light-Duty Vehicles and Light-Duty Trucks Emissions; 4) Defect Reports and Voluntary Emissions Recall Reports; 5) Fuel Economy Labeling; and, 6) Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission Standards. Previous ICRs in the 0783 ICR series included the on-highway motorcycle certification and compliance program. Starting with this renewal of ICR 0783 the on-highway motorcycle IC was transferred on 5/19/2017 under a separate ICR (ICR 2535.02, OMB 2060-0710). This ICR covers the application submitted by light-duty vehicle manufacturers prior to production as well as various reports and information submitted during and after production. Processing and review of this information is conducted by the Light-Duty Vehicle Center, Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation US EPA. |

| 202003-2060-010 | NESHAP for Boat Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart VVVV) (Final Rule) | EPA/OAR | 2020-03-20 | Active | Revision of a currently approved collection
NESHAP for Boat Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart VVVV) (Final Rule)
Key Information
Abstract
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Boat Manufacturing were proposed on July 14, 2000, promulgated on August 22, 2001, and amended on October 3, 2001. These regulations apply to both existing and new boat manufacturing facilities that are a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. This regulation covers resin and gel coat operations at fiberglass boat manufacturers, paint and coating operations at aluminum boat manufacturers, and carpet and fabric adhesive operations at all boat manufacturers. Air toxics are released during application and curing from the resins, gel coats, adhesives, coating, and solvents used in boat manufacturing. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after May 17, 2019, the date of proposal for this action. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart VVVV. As part of the residual risk and technology review (RTR) for the Boat Manufacturing NESHAP, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing that no revisions are needed to the existing emission limit requirements. The EPA is finalizing revisions to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of the rule and finalizing the use of electronic data reporting for future performance test data submittals, notifications, and reports. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. Owners/operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any failures to meet applicable standards. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. |

State Review Framework (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The State Review Framework is an oversight tool designed to assess state performance in enforcement and compliance assurance. The Framework's goal is to evaluate state performance by examining existing data to provide a consistent level of oversight and develop a uniform mechanism by which EPA Regions, working collaboratively with their states, can ensure that state environmental agencies are consistently implementing the national compliance and enforcement program in order to meet agreed-upon goals. Furthermore, the Framework is designed to foster dialogue on enforcement and compliance performance between the states that will enhance relationships and increase feedback, which will in turn lead to consistent program management and improved environmental results. The Framework is described in the April 26, 2005 Federal Register Notice (79 FR 21408). This request will allow OECA to collect information from enforcement and compliance files reviewed during routine on-site visits of state or local agency offices that will assist in the evaluation of the State Review Framework implementation from FY 2020 to the end of FY 2023. It will allow also EPA to make inquiries to assess the State Review Framework process, including the consistency achieved among the EPA Regions and states, the resources required to conduct the reviews, and the overall effectiveness of the program. |

Statement Regarding The Inferred Death of an Individual By Reason of Continued and Unexplained Absence
Key Information
Abstract
Before SSA can declare a missing individual deceased, we must ensure there is no evidence indicating the individual is still alive. SSA uses Form SSA-723, the Statement Regarding the Inferred Death of an Individual by Reason of Continued and Unexpected Absence, to collect the information needed to make that determination. In cases where insured wage earners have been absent from their homes for at least seven years, and there is no evidence these individuals are alive, SSA may presume they are deceased and will pay their survivors the appropriate benefits. SSA uses the information from Form SSA-723 to determine if we may presume a missing wage earner is deceased, and, if so, to establish a date of presumed death. The respondents are relatives, friends, neighbors, or acquaintances of the presumed deceased wage earner, or the person who is filing for survivor’s benefits. |

NESHAP for Metal Can Manufacturing Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKK) (Final Rule)
Key Information
Abstract
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Surface Coating of Metal Cans were proposed on January 15, 2003, promulgated on November 13, 2003, and most recently amended on January 6, 2006. The NESHAP is codified at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart KKKK. This supporting statement addresses information collection activities that will be imposed by the NESHAP for Surface Coating of Metal Cans, including activities proposed to be added based on the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The NESHAP for Surface Coating of Metal Cans applies to each new and existing affected source of HAP emissions at facilities that are major sources and are engaged in the surface coating of metal cans and ends (including decorative tins) and metal crowns and closures. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after January 15, 2003. As part of the RTR for the NESHAP for Surface Coating of Metal Cans, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not proposing to revise the emission limit requirements. The EPA is proposing to require periodic air emissions testing to measure organic HAP destruction or removal efficiency at the inlet and outlet of the add-on control device, or control device outlet concentration of organic HAP, once every five years for existing and new surface coating affected sources using the emission rate with add-on controls compliance option. The EPA is proposing to revise the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule and proposing the use of electronic data reporting for future performance test data submittals, notifications, and reports. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart KKKK. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests (if sources are using add-on controls to demonstrate compliance), and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any deviation from an emission limitation (either a numerical emission limit, an operating limit, or an equipment or work practice standard), or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the NESHAP. |
