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.

Upload Documents (eSubmit)

Key Information

Abstract

SSA is introducing Upload Documents (eSubmit), a new way individuals can submit evidence and forms to SSA online. In the digital age, individuals expect to complete transactions online, including submission of documents and forms to government agencies. The agency already offers several self-service specific options for individuals to submit forms and other documents online, including the Electronic Protective Filing Tool, ePFT (OMB No. 0960-0826), Internet Social Security Benefits Application, iClaim (OMB No. 0960-0618), and iAppeals (OMB No. 0960 0269 & 0960-0622). Upload Documents (eSubmit) is a secure upload portal which respondents will use to submit documents and forms to SSA. To ensure the success of Upload Documents (eSubmit), we will roll out the new application in several phases. The first phase will allow respondents to provide select documents (evidence that does not need to be certified or evidence which the agency does not require to be an original, also known collectively as ‘‘non original documentation,’’ and first-party forms that do not require a signature) to SSA electronically. Individuals must provide this information themselves since they will have to authenticate with their own information through one of several authentication methods (i.e., Login.gov, ID.me, or SSA’s Public Credentialing and Authentication Process). During this initial release for Upload Documents (eSubmit), we will contact the respondent, via telephone or face-to-face interview with SSA, for a business matter (e.g., filing a claim, performing a redetermination, or updating their personal information). During the interaction, the SSA technician will inform the individual verbally that SSA requires additional information to support their request and will offer the opportunity to provide the information electronically via the Upload Documents (eSubmit) application. After the respondent grants consent to SSA, we will generate a one-time email containing a link to Upload Documents (eSubmit) with instructions on how to access Upload Documents (eSubmit). The system will only make the electronic submission process available within 30 days from the date of the email. Concurrently, the technician will print a paper notice containing more details about the request, including any applicable due process deadline for submission, and will send it through postal mail to the respondent. Once the respondent authenticates and arrives at the Upload Documents (eSubmit) dashboard, the system will present the respondent with information regarding the items SSA requested for submission (examples of the documentation SSA may request include forms or non-standardized evidence to support the request [e.g., pay stubs, bank statements, pension award letters, tax documents, child support payment history, etc.]). From this screen, the individual will be able to upload the corresponding files from an electronic device. Once they finish uploading the documents, the respondents must select the Submit button to complete the action and the system will present them with an indicator of success or failure. The system will notify the technician through the Technician Experience Dashboard (TED) when the document is available for review and consideration. The second release of Upload Documents (eSubmit) will include an electronic signature functionality that will allow respondents to submit some forms requiring signature. To ensure our system is prepared to accept forms electronically signed in this manner, we will complete periodic future releases after the second release to allow Upload Documents (eSubmit) to accept more agency forms in the future. Respondents are first-party individuals who choose to use the Internet to conduct business with SSA.

46 CFR Part 531, NVOCC Service Arrangements

Key Information

Abstract

Section 16 of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40103, authorizes the Federal Maritime Commission to exempt by rule “any class of agreements between persons subject to this Act or any specified activity of those persons from any requirement of this Act if it finds that the exemption will not result in substantial reduction in competition or be detrimental to commerce. The Commission may attach conditions to any exemption and may, by order, revoke any exemption.” The Commission added 46 CFR 531 to exempt non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs) from the more stringent tariff rate publication requirements of the Shipping Act of 1984 and related provisions of the Commission’s regulations to permit them to enter into contracts with shippers similar to ocean common carrier service contracts. 69 FR 75850 (Dec. 20, 2004). The exemption was conditioned upon the filing of NVOCC service arrangements (NSAs) with the Commission by the NVOCC offering the service; publication of the essential terms of NSAs; and confidential treatment of NSAs. In addition, NVOCCs were required to maintain NSAs and associated records for five years. In 2018, the Commission provided further relief of regulatory burdens on NVOCC by removing the NSA filing requirements effective August 22, 2018. (83 FR 34780) The filing exemption is conditioned upon the licensed NVOCC including a prominent notice invoking the exemption in its electronically published rules tariff and indicating their intention to the Commission. NVOCCs must continue to maintain original NSAs and associated records for 5 years in a format easily produced to the Commission, and provide those records promptly upon request from the Commission. NVOCCs wishing to invoke the exemption must: Including the terms listed in 46 CFR 531.6(b) in their NSA; Abide by the prohibitions in 46 CFR 531.6(c); Assign a unique NSA number to each agreement (46 CFR531.6(d)); Provide electronic access to its rules tariffs to the public free of charge (46 CFR 531.4(a); Indicate their intention to invoke the exemption by including a prominent notice on its rules tariff (46 CFR 531.4(b); Maintain original NSAs, amendments, and their associated records for five years from the termination of each NSA in a format that is readily available and useable by Commission (46 CFR 531.12(a)); and Provide those records to the agency upon a written request from the Commission (46 CFR 531.12(b)).

Quality Measures and Administrative Procedures for the Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing Program and Quality Reporting Program for the FY 2025 SNF PPS Proposed Rule (CMS-10895)

Key Information

Abstract

Abstract (2000 characters maximum) The Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing (SNF VBP) Program is authorized by section 1888(h) of the Social Security Act (the Act), and it applies to freestanding SNFs, SNFs affiliated with acute care facilities, and all non-Critical Access Hospital (CAH) swing-bed rural hospitals. Beginning with payment for services furnished on October 1, 2018, section 1888(h) of the Act requires the Secretary to reduce the adjusted Federal per diem rate determined under section 1888(e)(4)(G) of the Act otherwise applicable to a SNF for services furnished during a fiscal year (FY) by 2 percent, and to adjust the resulting rate for a SNF by the value-based incentive payment amount earned by the SNF based on the SNF’s Performance Score for that FY under the SNF VBP Program. Through the SNF VBP Program, incentive payments are awarded to SNFs to encourage improvements in the quality of care provided to Medicare beneficiaries. The Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Reporting Program (SNF QRP) is authorized by section 1888(e)(6) of the Act, and it applies to freestanding SNFs, SNFs affiliated with acute care facilities, and all non-CAH swing-bed rural hospitals. Section 1888(e)(6)(A)(i) of the Act requires the Secretary to reduce by 2 percentage points the otherwise applicable Annual Payment Update (APU) to a SNF for a FY if the SNF does not comply with the requirements of the SNF QRP for that FY. Section 1888(e)(6)(B)(i)(II) of the Act requires that each SNF submit data on quality measures specified under section 1899B(c)(1) of the Act and data on resource use and other measures specified under section 1899B(d)(1) of the Act in a manner and within the timeframes specified by the Secretary. In addition, section 1888(e)(6)(B)(i)(III) of the Act requires, for FYs beginning on or after October 1, 2018, that each SNF submit standardized patient assessment data required under section 1899B(b)(1) of the Act in a manner and within the timeframes specified by the Secretary. Section 1888(h)(12)(A) of the Act (as added by section 111(a)(4) of Division CC of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116–260)), requires the Secretary to apply a process to validate data submitted under the SNF VBP Program and the SNF QRP.

Emission Guidelines for Existing Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart FFFF) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The Emission Guidelines for Existing Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart FFFF) were proposed on December 9, 2004 (69 FR 71472), promulgated on December 16, 2005 (70 FR 74892), and amended on November 24, 2006 (71 FR 67806). Under the proposed rule, the Emission Guidelines apply to any air quality program in either a state or a United States protectorate with one or more existing OSWI units or air curtain incinerators that commenced construction either on or before December 9, 2004. The affected OSWI units include two additional sub-categories: very small municipal waste combustion (VSMWC) units that combust less than 35 tons per day (TPD) of waste and institutional waste incineration (IWI) units. This Subpart does not directly affect incineration unit owners and operators; however, they must comply with the states plan that was developed by the air quality program administrator to implement the emission guidelines. On August 31, 2020, the EPA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register for the OSWI NSPS and EG rules that addressed the requisite CAA section 129(a)(5) periodic review (85 FR 54178), as well as other proposed changes to the standards. The EPA is finalizing its CAA section 129(a)(5) review, including our determination that there are no developments in practices, processes, or control technologies that warrant revisions to the OSWI standards and requirements. The EPA is finalizing certain other revisions, including the addition of a subcategory of new VSMWC or IWI units that have a capacity to combust less than 10 TPD of waste that are constructed on or after August 30, 2020, including changes to applicability-related and definitional changes; changes to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions; changes to testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements; and other miscellaneous technical and editorial changes. The EPA is also finalizing electronic reporting requirements for submittal of certain reports and performance test results. This ICR includes the burden associated with the existing rule requirements and the incremental burden associated with the final rule. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart FFFF.

46 CFR Part 540 - Application for Certificate of Financial Responsibility

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission administers Sections 2 and 3 of Public Law 89-777 (46 U.S.C. 44101-44106), which require vessel owners, charterers and operators of passenger vessels with passenger berths or stateroom accommodations for at least 50 passengers, and embarking passengers at United States ports, to establish their financial responsibility to meet liability incurred for death or injury and to indemnify passengers in the event of nonperformance of transportation. 46 CFR Part 540, entitled Passenger Vessel Financial Responsibility, implements Public Law 89-777. The regulation (and its related application Form FMC-131, Application for Certificate of Financial Responsibility) requires owners, operators or charterers of passenger vessels subject to Public Law 89-777 to apply for an initial certificate or to file an amendment to existing certificates. The Commission’s rules require that applications be filed at least 60 days prior to any advertising, promotion or collection of deposits and fares for a Certificate (Performance), and at least 60 days prior to sailing for a Certificate (Casualty). Applicants may apply separately for each certificate or for both certificates on one application. The method of establishing financial responsibility may be different for each certificate. The applicant has the option of using (1) insurance, (2) escrow accounts, (3) guaranties, (4) surety bonds, or (5) self-insurance (for casualty only) to establish financial responsibility to qualify for a Certificate (Casualty) evidencing compliance with Section 2 of Public Law 89-777, or to qualify for a Certificate (Performance) evidencing compliance with Section 3 of Public Law 89-777. Upon receipt, examination, and approval of the application form and evidence of financial responsibility, a Certificate of Financial Responsibility for Indemnification of Passengers for Nonperformance of Transportation and Certificate of Financial Responsibility to Meet Liability Incurred for Death or Injury to Passengers or Other Persons on Voyages are issued to the applicant/certificant. The certificates must be presented to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or Coast Guard officials at the time the vessel clears a United States port. The cap on passenger vessel financial responsibility under Section 3 (Performance) of Public Law 89-777, 46 U.S.C. 44101-44106, is adjusted biennially to the nearest $1 million using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’s Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U). Smaller passenger vessel operators’ (PVO) financial responsibility requirements may be adjusted by requesting consideration for alternative forms of protection from the Director of the Bureau of Certification and Licensing. The FMC’s PVO Certificates (Performance) are required to be renewed every 5 years. The renewal of the certificates assists U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in determining the validity of a certificate, and ensures that the FMC periodically confirms PVO information previously submitted.

Key Information

Abstract

In this ICR, the EPA estimates additional one-time respondent burden of 2 labor hours in the first year following promulgation of the subject amendments to provide for becoming familiar with the amendments to NSPS subpart TTT and becoming familiar with the CDX and CEDRI systems associated with electronic submission of reports. These amendments will not impact the burden on respondents in later years because they do not impose additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements. The total estimated respondent burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens is based on 10 respondents (a larger number than the three respondents counted in this ICR). The downward adjustment in the number of respondents for this ICR, based on the EPAs most recent information, is reflected in Attachment 1 to this ICR Supporting Statement.

Key Information

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), for Phosphate Fertilizer Industry (40 CFR Part 60, Subparts T, U, V, W, and X) were proposed on October 22, 1974, promulgated on August 6, 1975, and amended on August 19, 2015 . These regulations apply to both existing facilities and new facilities that engage in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers (wet-process phosphoric acid plants, super-phosphoric acid plants, diammonium phosphate plants, and triple superphosphate plants), and have a design capacity of more than 15 tons of equivalent phosphorous pentoxide (P2O5) feed per calendar day. These standards also apply to new and existing facilities that store granular triple superphosphate. These same standards establish fluoride emission limitations as a measure of phosphorus-bearing feed material at affected facilities. The affected facilities may include a combination of reactors, filters, evaporators, hot wells, acid sumps, cooling tanks, granulators, dryers, coolers, screens, mills, mixers, curing belts (dens), coolers, and facilities which store run-of-pile triple superphosphate, depending on the type of plant. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart T, U, V, W, and X. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, 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 startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, 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 NSPS.

United States Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return

Key Information

Abstract

The federal estate tax is a tax on the transfer of property at death. It is applied to estates for which at-death gross assets ("gross estate") plus adjusted taxable gifts exceed the filing threshold. Chapter 11 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provides the rules and requirements for estate taxes. IRC section 2001 imposes a tax on the transfer of the taxable estate of every decedent who was a citizen or resident of the United States. Chapter 13 of the IRC provides rules and requirements for certain generation-skipping transfers (GST). IRC section 2601 imposes a tax on a GST. Form 706 and related forms are used to report and compute both taxes. IRC section 2603(a)(2) provides that the GST tax imposed on a direct skip from a trust must be paid by the trustee (not the estate). This information collection request (ICR) covers the actual reporting burden associated with preparing and submitting the prescribed return forms, by executors required to file Form 706 and any of its affiliated forms.

Key Information

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Synthetic Fiber Production Facilities (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart HHH) were proposed on November 23, 1982, promulgated on April 5, 1984, and amended on October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to both existing and new synthetic fiber production plants with a solvent-spun, synthetic fiber process that produce more than 500 megagrams (Mgs) of fiber per year that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. The provisions of this subpart do not apply to any facility that uses the reaction spinning process to produce spandex fiber, or the viscose process to produce rayon fiber, or to facilities that commence modification, but not reconstruction, after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart HHH. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, 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 startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, 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 NSPS.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Cockpit Voice Recorder and Flight Data Recorder Regulations

Key Information

Abstract

This collection encompasses mandatory requirements to collect and retain (recordkeeping requirement), and to report (reporting requirement), flight data and cockpit voice data using a Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR). Respondents to the collection include operators of aircraft for which the operating requirements of parts 91, 121, 125, 129, or 135 require the aircraft to have and use a CVR or FDR. Respondents to this collection must keep FDR and CVR data for specified timeframes. The FDR and CVR continuously record data during aircraft operation, which is stored and continuously overwritten by new data, while retaining the last 2 hours (CVR) (if the aircraft was manufactured prior to the effective dates in the new rule), 25 hours (CVR) (if the aircraft was manufactured after the effective dates in the new rule), or 25 hours (FDR) of recorded data. Respondents to this collection must report/provide the collected data to the NTSB on an as-needed basis (i.e., after an aircraft has been involved in a reportable accident or incident), or the FAA and/or NTSB may request that the data is stored (off aircraft) until the investigation can be conducted. Use: The collection of information includes both reporting and recordkeeping of information. The data collected by an FDR or CVR is received and used by the NTSB for accident and incident investigation. Following an accident, the FDR and CVR are immediately removed from the accident site and transported to NTSB headquarters in Washington, D.C. for processing. Using sophisticated computer and audio equipment, the information stored on the recorders is extracted and translated into an understandable format. Depending on the severity of an aircraft incident, the NTSB may request the FDR and/or CVR data for an aircraft directly from the aircraft owner or operator. Respondents: Respondents to the collection include operators of aircraft for which the operating requirements of parts 91, 121, 125, 129, or 135 require the aircraft to have and use a CVR and/or FDR. The FAA estimates that 23,273 aircraft must have and use a CVR and/or FDR; 4,744 of those aircraft will be required to collect 25 hours of CVR data as a result of this final rule. Frequency: For each aircraft required to have an CVR and/or FDR, the FDR and CVR continuously record data, which is stored and continuously overwritten by new data, while retaining the last 2 hours (CVR) (if the aircraft was manufactured prior to the effective dates in this final rule), 25 hours (CVR) (if the aircraft was manufactured after the effective dates in this final rule), or 25 hours (FDR) of recorded data. Additionally, on an as-needed basis, operators of aircraft must report CVR and/or FDR data to the NTSB (i.e., after an aircraft has been involved in a reportable accident or incident).

NESHAP for Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXX) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXX) were promulgated on May 20, 1999; and amended on: March 22, 2001; June 23, 2003; April 20, 2006; June 30, 2015 (80 FR 37366); January 18, 2017 (82 FR 5408), and November 19, 2020 (85 FR 73902). These regulations apply to both new and existing ferroalloy production facilities that manufacture ferromanganese and silicomanganese, and that are either major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions or are co-located at major sources of HAPs. The following affected facilities at ferroalloy production plants are subject to this NESHAP rule: electric arc furnaces; casting operations; metal oxygen refining (MOR) processes; crushing and screening operations; and outdoor fugitive dust sources. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. The burden in this ICR reflects the burden associated with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the regulation for new and existing sources included in the June 30, 2015 Risk and Technology Review (RTR) final rule amendments and January 18, 2017 reconsideration notice. The burden associated with the 2015 final rule amendments and reconsideration notice is accounted for in EPA ICR No. 2448.02 (OMB Control No. 2060-0676). The 2020 amendment implemented the plain language reading of the “major source” and “area source” definitions of section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and provide that a major source can be reclassified to area source status at any time upon reducing its potential to emit (PTE) hazardous air pollutants (HAP) to below the major source thresholds and required this notification be submitted electronically. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXX.  In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, 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 startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, 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 NESHAP.

Generic Clearance for NOAA Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Studies for Weather, Water, and Climate

Key Information

Abstract

This revision is to request that OMB allow up to 5 IC submissions at a time for this generic request. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) products and services “support economic vitality and affect more than one-third of America’s gross domestic product.” The National Weather Service (NWS) is a critical component of this service and operates under the mission to “provide weather, water and climate data, forecasts, warnings, and impact-based decision support services for the protection of life and property and enhancement of the national economy.” Leveraging and integrating Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBES) methodologies and knowledge is crucial to meeting our mission. Similarly, the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) NOAA line office conducts SBES research and development directly relevant to and in support of the NWS mission. If we are to effectively support public and partner decision making, build actionable tools and information, and evaluate our performance, then it’s imperative that the NWS/OAR collect key SBES data and fully engage with our audiences. Additionally, the NWS/OAR has articulated a priority to enhance services for historically underinvested and underserved communities and improve service equity across the board. These communities typically experience higher rates of poverty, homelessness, disabilities, and language barriers, which increase their vulnerability to hazard impacts. The generic clearance is an important planning and engagement tool for NWS/OAR. The procedures expected to be used include but are not limited to social network analysis, open, semi-structured and structured interviews, focus groups, surveys, and participant observation.

Abstract

The DoD Voluntary Education Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Institutional Compliance Program (ICP) is a full-scale, risk-based compliance program that assesses institutional compliance to reduce risks associated with non-compliance. Each year, the ICP team considers the entire population of MOU signatories, leveraging over 24,000 pieces of data to narrow the population from over 2,700 to 250, and then conducts an in-depth assessment on those 250 institutions. The team then provided critical feedback to those institutions to enable them to implement Corrective Action Plans to improve their individual level of compliance with the tenets of their MOUs.
