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.

Inclusions to the Section 232 National Security Adjustments to Imports
Key Information
Abstract
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1862) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to conduct comprehensive investigations to determine the effects of imports of an article on the national security of the United States. Such investigations can be initiated by an application by an interested party, a request from the head of any department or agency, or self-initiated by the Secretary. Once an investigation is initiated, the Secretary submits a report to the President on whether the importation of the article in question is occurring in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States. The President then determines whether it is necessary to take action to adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. Several Proclamations have directed the Secretary to create a process for including additional derivative articles within the scope of the new and existing ad valorem tariffs established under Section 232.. These Proclamations broadly authorize the Secretary to include additional derivative articles within the scope of the tariffs unilaterally, or at the request of a producer (or an industry association representing one or more such producers) of such articles or derivative articles within the United States after establishing that imports of said derivative article have increased in a manner that threatens to impair the national security of the United States or otherwise undermine the objectives set forth in the investigations under Section 232 or their associated Presidential Proclamations. |

Also, the registration program ensures that general licensees are aware of and understand the requirements for the possession, use, and disposal of devices containing byproduct material. Greater awareness helps to ensure that general licensees will comply with the regulatory requirements for proper handling and disposal of generally licensed devices and would reduce the potential for incidents that could result in unnecessary radiation exposure to the public and contamination of property. |

Key Information
Abstract
Part 60 of 10 CFR requires States and Indian tribes to submit certain information to the NRC if they request consultation with the NRC staff concerning the review of a potential repository site, or wish to participate in a license application review for a potential repository (other than the Yucca Mountain, Nevada site, which is regulated under 10 CFR Part 63). Representatives of States or Indian tribes must submit a statement of their authority to act in such a representative capacity. The information submitted by the States and Indian tribes is used by the Director of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards as a basis for decisions about the commitment of NRC staff resources to the consultation and participation efforts. The NRC anticipates conducting a public rulemaking to revise portions of 10 CFR Part 60 in the near future (i.e., within the next 5 years). If, as part of this rulemaking, revisions are made affecting the information collection requirements, the NRC will follow OMB requirements for obtaining approval for any revised information collection requirements. [Note: All of the information collection requirements pertaining to Yucca Mountain were included in 10 CFR Part 63, and were approved by OMB under control number 3150-0199. The Yucca Mountain site is regulated under 10 CFR Part 63 (66 FR 55792, November 2, 2001).]Part 60 of 10 CFR requires States and Indian Tribes to submit certain information to the NRC if they request consultation with the NRC staff concerning the review of a potential repository site, or wish to participate in a license application review for a potential repository (other than the Yucca Mountain, Nevada site, which is regulated under 10 CFR part 63).
