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.

| 202507-2060-002 | NESHAP for Coal- and Oil-fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUUUU) (Proposed Rule) | EPA/OAR | 2025-07-11 | Historical Inactive | Revision of a currently approved collection
NESHAP for Coal- and Oil-fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUUUU) (Proposed Rule)
Key Information
Abstract
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUUUU) were proposed on May 3, 2011, and promulgated on February 16, 2012. The rule was subsequently amended on: March 24, 2015 (80 FR 15510); April 6, 2017 (82 FR 16736); April 15, 2020 (85 FR 20838); September 9, 2020 (85 FR 55744); and May 7, 2024 (89 FR 38508). This proposed amendment supersedes previous reporting requirements. These regulations apply to each individual or group of two or more new, reconstructed, or existing electric utility steam generating units (EGUs) within a contiguous area and under common control. An EGU is defined as a fossil fuel-fired combustion unit of more than 25 megawatts electric (MWe) that serves a generator that produces electricity for sale, or a fossil fuel-fired unit that cogenerates steam and electricity and supplies more than one-third of its potential electric output capacity and more than 25 MWe output to any utility power distribution system for sale. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after May 3, 2011. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUUUU. In general, NESHAP regulations typically 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 for each EGU, 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. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of subpart UUUUU shall maintain a file containing these documents and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records. |

Abstract
As required by Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act, Section 15F(h) of the Exchange Act established business conduct standards for security-based swap ("SBS") dealers and major security-based swap participants in their dealings with counterparties, including special entities.

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. |

Form T-4 - Application For Exemption
Key Information
Abstract
Section 304(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“Act”) permits the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) to exempt securities from requirements of the Act if such securities are issued under an indenture under which the securities were outstanding when the Act was adopted in 1939 and were still outstanding on January 1, 1959. It must be shown that compliance with a particular provision of the Act would require the consent of holders of securities outstanding under the indenture at the time of the application or would impose an undue burden on the issuer, having due regard to the public interest and the interest of investors. Under Rule 4c-1 (17 CFR 260.4c-1), issuers may file a Form T-4 (17 CFR 269.4) to apply for an exemption pursuant to Section 304(c) of the Act. As noted above, Form T-4 is used by issuers to apply for an exemption pursuant to Section 304(c) of the Act. |
