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 September 22, 2026.

State Program Adequacy Determination: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills and Non-Municipal, Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal Units that Receive Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator Hazardous Waste

Key Information

Abstract

Section 4010(c) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requires that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revise the landfill criteria promulgated under paragraph (1) of Section 4004(a) and Section 1008(a)(3). Section 4005(c) of RCRA, as amended by the Hazardous Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA), requires states to develop and implement permit programs to ensure that non-municipal, non-hazardous waste disposal units that receive household hazardous waste or conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs) hazardous waste and municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs) are in compliance with the revised criteria for the design and operation of non-municipal, non-hazardous waste disposal units under 40 CFR part 257, subpart B and MSWLFs under 40 CFR part 258. Section 4005(c) of RCRA further mandates the EPA Administrator to determine the adequacy of state permit programs to ensure owner/operator compliance with the revised federal criteria. A state program that is deemed adequate to ensure compliance may afford flexibility to owners/operators in the approaches they use to meet federal requirements, significantly reducing the burden associated with compliance. In response to the statutory requirement in §4005(c), EPA developed 40 CFR part 239, commonly referred to as the State Implementation Rule (SIR). The SIR describes the state request and EPA review procedures and defines the elements of an adequate state permit program.

RCRA Expanded Public Participation (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984, requires EPA to establish a national regulatory program to ensure that hazardous wastes are managed in a manner protective of human health and the environment. Section 7004(b) of RCRA gives EPA broad authority to provide for, encourage, and assist public participation in the development, revision, implementation, and enforcement of any regulation, guideline, information, or program under RCRA. In addition, the statute specifies certain public notices (i.e., radio, newspaper, and a letter to relevant agencies) that EPA must provide before issuing any RCRA permit. The statute also establishes a process by which the public can dispute a permit and request a public hearing to discuss it. EPA carries out much of its RCRA public involvement at 40 CFR Parts 124 and 270.

Revisions to RCRA Definition of Solid Waste Final Rule (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

In 2018, the EPA published final revisions to the definition of solid waste that exclude certain hazardous secondary materials from regulation (83 FR 24664, May 30, 2018). The 2018 final rule was promulgated in response to orders issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on July 7, 2017, and amended on March 6, 2018, vacating certain provisions of the 2015 rule and reinstated corresponding provisions from the 2008 rule. The information requirements help ensure that (1) entities operating under the regulatory exclusions are held accountable to the applicable requirements; (2) state inspectors can verify compliance with the restrictions and conditions of the exclusions when needed; and (3) hazardous secondary materials exported for recycling are actually handled as commodities abroad. Recordkeeping requirements include: Under the generator-controlled exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), the tolling contractor has to maintain at its facility for no less than three years records of hazardous secondary materials received pursuant to its written contract with the tolling manufacturer, and the tolling manufacturer must maintain at its facility for no less than three years records of hazardous secondary materials shipped pursuant to its written contract with the tolling contractor. In addition, facilities performing the recycling of hazardous secondary materials under the generator-controlled exclusions at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23) to maintain documentation of their legitimacy determination onsite. Under the transfer-based exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24), a generator sending secondary hazardous materials to a facility that does not have a permit, would be required to conduct a reasonable efforts environmental audit of the receiving facility; and a hazardous secondary materials recycler must meet the following conditions: having financial assurance in place, having trained personnel, and meeting emergency preparedness and response conditions. Under the export requirements of the transfer-based exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(25), exporters of hazardous secondary material must provide notice and obtain consent of the receiving country and file an annual report. Under the remanufacturing exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(27), both the hazardous secondary material generator and the remanufacturer must maintain records of shipments and confirmations of receipts for a period of three years from the dates of the shipments. Under the revised speculative accumulation requirement in 261.1(c)(8), all persons subject to the speculative accumulation requirements must label the storage unit by indicating the first date that the material began to be accumulated.

NESHAP for Radionuclides (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart B, K, R, and W) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

On December 15, 1989, pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1977 (42 USC 1857), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated NESHAPs to control radionuclide emissions from several source categories. The regulations were published in 54 FR 51653, and are codified at 40 CFR Part 61. Of the seven subparts (B, H, I, K, R, T and W) included in the 1989 rule, as currently amended four apply to privately-operated facilities. In addition to requiring operational practices that limit emissions, Subparts B, K, R, and W impose radionuclide dose and emission limits. The information collected is used by the EPA to ensure that public health continues to be protected from the hazards of airborne radionuclides through compliance with these standards. Compliance is demonstrated through emissions testing and dose calculation when appropriate.

Abstract

SSA needs information to make a formal determination for entitlement to widow’s or widower’s benefits. We use Form SSA-10-BK to determine whether an applicant meets the statutory and regulatory conditions for entitlement to widow’s or widower’s under the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program. SSA employees interview individuals applying for benefits either face to-face or via telephone and enter the information into the Modernized Claims System (MCS). When MCS is temporary unavailable, technicians use the paper form to record the information. The respondents are applicants for widow’s or widower’s benefits.

Continuation of Supplemental Security Income Payments for the Temporarily Institutionalized – Certification of Period and Need to Maintain Home

Key Information

Abstract

When SSI recipients: (1) enter a public institution; or (2) enter a private medical treatment facility with Medicaid paying more than 50 percent of expenses, SSA reduces recipients’ SSI payments to a nominal sum. However, if this institutionalization is temporary (defined as a maximum of three months), SSA may waive the reduction. Before SSA can waive the SSI payment reduction, the agency must receive the following documentation: (1) A physician’s certification stating the SSI recipient will only be institutionalized for a maximum of three months; and (2) statement from the recipient (or someone knowledgeable about the recipient’s circumstances, such as a representative payee, family member, or friend), confirming the recipient needs SSI payments to maintain the living arrangements to which the individual will return post institutionalization. To obtain this information, SSA employees contact the recipient (or a knowledgeable source) to collect the required physician’s certification and the statement of need. SSA does not require any specific format for these items, so long as we obtain the necessary attestations; however, SSA allows the use of Form SSA-186 as a convenient way to notify SSA, request continued benefits, and obtain physician certification on one document. The respondents are SSI recipients or individuals with knowledge of their circumstances such as representative payees, family members, or friends, as well as physicians or hospital staff members who treat the SSI recipient.

Abstract

SSA bases an individual’s eligibility for SSI payments, in part, on the amount of countable income the individual receives. We consider earned income from employment as a source of countable income. SSA applicants and recipients are required to provide evidence in support of their claims, but SSA will assist in collecting the required evidence when necessary. SSA uses Form SSA-L4201 for wage verification in initial and post-entitlement claims; the form collects current and past wage data directly from employers. We only use the SSA-L4201 when our efforts to obtain preferred evidence are unsuccessful. SSA uses the information collected to determine eligibility and proper payment amounts for SSI. Respondents are employers of SSI applicants and recipients.

Abstract

Social Security disability recipients receive payments based on their inability to engage in substantial gainful activity (SGA) because of physical or mental condition. If the recipients work, the SSA must evaluate and determine if they continue to meet the disability requirements of the law. When an individual is unable to provide earnings information and SSA does not have access to proof of earnings, we use Form SSA-L725 to request monthly earnings information from the recipient’s employer. SSA employees send the paper form SSA-L725 to the employer to complete and use the earnings data we receive from the employers to determine whether the recipient is engaging in SGA, since work above SGA level can cause a cessation of disability payments. The respondents are businesses that employ Social Security disability recipients.

Current Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations For Type A Medicated Articles and Medicated Feeds

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR concerns the recordkeeping requirements of FDA’s current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) regulations for medicated feeds and for Type A medicated articles. Medicated feeds are administered to animals for the prevention, cure, mitigation, or treatment of disease, or growth promotion and feed efficiency. A manufacturer is required to establish, maintain, and retain records for a medicated feed, including records to document procedures required during the manufacturing process to assure that proper quality control is maintained. Such records would, for example, contain information concerning receipt and inventory of drug components, batch production, laboratory assay results (i.e. batch and stability testing), labels, and product distribution. A Type A medicated article is a feed product containing a concentrated drug diluted with a feed carrier substance. A Type A medicated article is intended solely for use in the manufacture of another Type A medicated article or a Type B or Type C medicated feed. Medicated feeds are administered to animals for the prevention, cure, mitigation, or treatment of disease or for growth promotion and feed efficiency. Under part 226, a manufacturer is required to establish, maintain, and retain records for Type A medicated articles, including records to document procedures required under the manufacturing process to assure that proper quality control is maintained. Such records would, for example, contain information concerning receipt and inventory of drug components, batch production, laboratory assay results (i.e. batch and stability testing), and product distribution. These records are subject to FDA review during an inspection. Medicated feeds that are not manufactured in accordance with these regulations are considered adulterated under section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Abstract

The Form 714 is authorized by the Federal Power Act and is a regulatory support requirement as provided by 18 CFR § 141.51. The data will be used to obtain a broad picture of interconnected balancing authority area operations including comprehensive information of balancing authority area generation, actual and scheduled inter-balancing authority area power transfers, and load; and to prepare status reports on the electric utility industry including review of inter-balancing authority area bulk power trade information. The Commission uses the collected data to analyze power system operations along with its regulatory functions. These analyses estimate the effect of changes in power system operations resulting from the installation of a new generating unit or plant, transmission facilities, energy transfers between systems, and/or new points of interconnections. Also, these analyses serve to correlate rates and charges, assess reliability and other operating attributes in regulatory proceedings, monitor market trends and behaviors, and determine the competitive impacts of proposed mergers, acquisitions, and dispositions.

FERC-725I, Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Northeast Power Coordinating Council

Key Information

Abstract

The Regional Reliability standard, PRC-006-NPCC-1 — Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding (UFLS), provides regional requirements for Automatic UFLS for applicable entities in the Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC). UFLS requirements were in place at a continent-wide level and within NPCC for many years prior to the implementation of federally mandated reliability standards in 2007. NPCC and its members believe that a region-wide, fully coordinated single set of UFLS requirements is necessary to create an effective and efficient UFLS program, and their experience has supported that belief. This collection of information involves planning coordinators (PCs) and generator owners (GOs). PCs must gather data, run studies, and analyze study results to design or update the UFLS programs. GOs must set each underfrequency trip relay below the appropriate generator underfrequency trip protection settings threshold curve in regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-NPCC-1 and provide the generator underfrequency trip setting and time delay to its planning coordinator within 45 days of the planning coordinator's request. The consequence of not collecting UFLS program information may impact the safety nets used to preserve the security and integrity of the Bulk-Electric System, otherwise it might lead to instability, uncontrolled separation or Cascading.

(1) development of benchmark planning cases based on major prior extreme heat and cold weather events and/or meteorological projections; (2) planning for extreme heat and cold weather events using steady state and transient stability analyses expanded to cover a range of extreme weather scenarios including the expected resource mix’s availability during extreme heat and cold weather conditions; and (3) development of corrective action plans that mitigate certain instances where performance requirements for extreme heat and cold weather events are not met.

FERC-725J, Definition of the Bulk Electric System

Key Information

Abstract

On December 20, 2012, the Commission issued Order No. 773, a Final Rule approving NERC’s modifications to the definition of “bulk electric system” and the Rules of Procedure exception process to be effective July 1, 2013. On April 18, 2013, in Order No. 773-A, the Commission largely affirmed its findings in Order No. 773. In Order Nos. 773 and 773-A, the Commission directed NERC to modify the definition of bulk electric system in two respects: (1) modify the local network exclusion (exclusion E3) to remove the 100 kV minimum operating voltage to allow systems that include one or more looped configurations connected below 100 kV to be eligible for the local network exclusion; and (2) modify the exclusions to ensure that generator interconnection facilities at or above 100 kV connected to bulk electric system generators identified in inclusion I2 are not excluded from the bulk electric system. Each year the Regions and NERC may need to act on exception requests submitted by transmission owners, generator owners and distribution providers. We have revised the estimate for exception requests from 20 exception requests to 10, which is more accurate to the volume of received exception requests. Regarding Implementation Plans and Compliance, FERC estimates that 10% of the US registered entities may have to perform this task on a continuing basis.

Grant Application Form for Project Objectives and Performance Measures Information

Key Information

Abstract

The U .S. Department of Education Grant Application Form for Project Objectives and Performance Measures Information serves as a precursor to the U.S. Department of Education Grant Performance Report Form (ED 524 B) in which project objectives, measures, and targets will be entered by applicants at the time that grant applications are entered in Grants.gov. The Grant Application Form for Project Objectives and Performance Measures Information form and instructions are used by many ED discretionary grant programs to enable grantees to meet ED deadline dates for submission of performance reports to the Department.
