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.

FERC Form 580, Interrogatory on Fuel and Energy Purchase Practices

Key Information

Abstract

The FERC Form No. 580 (Form 580) interrogatory is conducted every two years. On this form the Commission collects information from public utilities subject to its jurisdiction that own or operate power plants that generate a minimum of 50MW. Presently there are approximately 40 public utilities that file the form. The information collected through the Form 580 interrogatory is used by Commission staff to review utility purchase and cost recovery practices through AACs (automatic adjustment clauses) to ensure efficient use of resources, in compliance with the statute and with Commission regulations promulgated in 18 CFR §35.14. The information is also used by the Commission and the public to evaluate costs in individual rate filings and to supplement periodic utility audits. We include the administrative non-substantive changes updates for the period covered. For example, the year range will change from “2022-2023” to "2024-2025."

FERC-519, Application Under Federal Power Act Section 203

Key Information

Abstract

According to Section 203 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), FERC approval is required for transactions in which a public utility disposes of jurisdictional facilities, merges such facilities with facilities owned by another person, or acquires the securities of another public utility. Under the statute, FERC must find that the proposed transaction will be consistent with the public interest. The information collected under the FERC-519 enables the Commission to meet its statutory responsibilities regarding public utility disposition, merger, consolidation of facilities, purchase, or acquisition oversight and enforcement in accordance with the FPA as referenced above. Without this information, FERC would be unable to meet these responsibilities. The required information includes descriptions of corporate attributes of the party or parties to the proposed transaction (e.g. a sale, lease, or other disposition, merger, or consolidation of facilities, or purchase of other acquisition of the securities of a public utility and the facilities or other property involved in the transaction), statements about effect of the transaction, and the applicant’s proof that the transaction will be consistent with the public interest.

FERC-546, Certificated Rate Filings: Gas Pipeline Rates

Key Information

Abstract

The following list outlines four circumstances under which the FERC-546 information collection requirements for certificated rates must be met: A company decides to: 1. Construct and operate a new jurisdictional pipeline; 2. Expand its certificated pipeline capacity by constructing a lateral pipeline, adding compression or providing storage at incremental or cost-based rates; 3. Build a new liquefied natural gas facility; or 4. Provide gas storage and negotiate market based rates. Under the circumstances 1-3, the company must file its FERC-546 cost data along with an application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity under the statutory requirements of NGA Section 7(c). For circumstance 4, the company must file its FERC-546 information with an application under NGA Section 4(f). The FERC-546 includes the following: • Supporting information for proposed initial rates (e.g. cost-based, market based, incremental rates); • Pro forma tariffs; • Motions to put proposed initial rates into effect subject to Commission findings on the related certificate; and • Unexecuted precedent agreements. Section 16 of the NGA grants the Commission administrative powers including the ability to define accounting, technical and trade terms, prescribe forms, statements, declarations or reports and to prescribe rules and regulations. Section 403 of the Department of Energy Organization Act authorizes the Commission to establish and review priorities for curtailments under the Natural Gas Act. The Commission reviews the FERC-546 materials in order to approve rates and tariff changes associated with an application for a certificate under NGA Section 7(c). Additionally, the Commission reviews FERC-546 materials in 4(f) storage applications to evaluate market power and decide whether to grant, deny, or condition market based rate authority for the applicant. The Commission also uses the FERC-546 information to monitor jurisdictional transportation, natural gas storage, and unbundled sales activities of interstate natural gas pipelines and Hinshaw pipelines. In addition to fulfilling the Commission’s obligations under the NGA, the FERC-546 enables the Commission to monitor activities, evaluate transactions, ensure competitiveness, and improved efficiency of the gas industry's operations. In summary, the Commission uses the FERC-546 information to: • Ensure adequate customer protections under section 4(f) of the NGA; • Review rate and tariff changes by natural gas companies for the transportation of natural gas and natural gas storage services; • Provide general industry oversight; and • Supplement documentation during its audits process. Failure to collect this information would prevent the Commission from being able to monitor and evaluate transactions and operations of interstate pipelines and perform its regulatory functions.

Cross-Media Electronic Reporting and Recordkeeping Rule (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The legal framework for electronic reporting to EPA’s regulatory programs is established under Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 3, the Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR). U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allows regulated entities, required by statutory and regulatory authorities, to submit digital data or documents electronically, in lieu of a paper document, provided specified conditions are met under 40 CFR 3.2. CROMERR requires state, local and tribal governments implementing authorized or delegated environmental programs (40 CFR) to seek EPA approval, under 40 CFR 3.1000, and satisfy reporting requirements electronically. In seeking EPA approval, these state, local, and tribal governments must upgrade existing electronic document receiving systems or develop new receiving systems to satisfy the criteria laid out at 40 CFR 3.2000. Throughout this document, we refer to state, local, and tribal governments as “States/ Locals/Tribes.” Currently, EPA is aware of only one tribal government planning to develop such a system during the next three years. CROMERR does not require regulated entities to report electronically. CROMERR establishes requirements for utilizing electronic reporting as an alternative to paper-based reporting. It does not require States/Locals/Tribes to implement electronic reporting, it establishes the framework for implementing the electronic reporting alternative for Federal laws they administer

NESHAP for Epoxy Resin and Non-Nylon Polyamide Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart W) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Epoxy Resin and Non-Nylon Polyamide Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart W) were proposed on: May 16, 1994; promulgated on March 8, 1995; and revised on April 20, 2006. The final rule was reviewed under Section 112(d)(6) risk and technology review provisions of the Clean Air Act during 2008; however, the final rule of December 16, 2008 (73 FR 76220) did not result in additional revisions. These regulations apply to either existing facilities and new facilities producing basic liquid epoxy resin (BLR) and epichlorohydrin-modified non-nylon polyamide resins, also known as wet strength resins (WSR). The source subject to this provision emits the hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) epichlorohydrin, and in lesser amounts, hydrochloric acid and methanol. New facilities include those that either commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. The EPA is finalizing amendments to P&R II to add requirements pertaining to: heat exchange systems, PRDs, dioxins and furans emissions from process vents, and maintenance vents. In addition, the EPA is finalizing amendments to P&R II that revise provisions pertaining to emissions during periods of SSM, add requirements for electronic reporting of periodic reports and performance test results, and make other minor clarifications and corrections. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart W. This information collection request documents the recordkeeping and reporting requirements and burden imposed only by these final amendments. The burden from the existing rule requirements is accounted for in EPA ICR number 1681.10. 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.

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) calculates the burden and costs associated with information collection and reporting activities from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Discharges from Construction Activities, hereinafter referred to as the 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP). The burden and costs associated with the entire NPDES program are accounted for in an approved ICR (EPA ICR number 0229.23, OMB control no. 2040-0004), however, the changes made in the 2022 CGP have not yet been included into this consolidated ICR. Therefore, this ICR continues to reflect the paperwork burden and costs associated with the difference between the 2022 CGP and the 2017 CGP. The NPDES Program ICR expires in July of 2026, therefore, it is likely that EPA will consolidate the burden and costs of this ICR into the NPDES Program ICR (and discontinue this ICR) at that time.

The Rural eConnectivity Program (ReConnect)

Key Information

Abstract

On March 23, 2018, Congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2018 (the FY 2018 Appropriations) (Pub.L. 115–141) which established a broadband loan and grant pilot program, the Rural eConnectivity Pilot Program (hereinafter the ReConnect Program). One of the essential goals of the ReConnect Program is to expand broadband service to rural areas without sufficient access to broadband, defined as 10 megabits per second (Mbps) downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. For this purpose, Congress expanded RUS's existing authority to make loans and grants. Loans and grants are limited to the costs of the construction, improvement, and acquisition of facilities and equipment for broadband service in eligible communities. The FY 2018 Appropriations also authorized technical assistance to assist the agency in expanding needed service to the most rural communities. In facilitating the expansion of broadband services and infrastructure, the pilot will fuel long-term rural economic development and opportunities in rural America. One of those opportunities is precision agriculture. The use of this technology requires a robust broadband connection. The awards made under this program will bring high speed broadband to the farms which will allow them to increase productivity.
