Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
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.

Part 108 MOC and DOC
Key Information
Abstract
The Department of Transportation (DOT) submits this draft Supporting Statement to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in preparation for requesting an approach for information collections to the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled “Normalizing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Beyond Visual Line of Sight Operations (BVLOS)” (the BVLOS NPRM) (RIN 2120-AL82). The BVLOS NPRM proposes an enabling rule. This collection applies only to operators who desire to retain the benefit of being able to fly unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) BVLOS or otherwise under the proposed part 108 and is not imposed on all operators of UAS. DOT requests approval of this information collection that includes information a person submits to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) when seeking acceptance for either a means of compliance (MOC) or declaration of compliance (DOC) used in the manufacture of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to be operated under proposed part 108. The MOC and DOC are critical components of the airworthiness acceptance framework of the proposed rule to ensure UAS meet the performance-based requirements for beyond visual line of sight operations. |

Hazardous Materials Training Requirements
Key Information
Abstract
Currently the FAA, as prescribed in 14 CFR parts 121 and 135, requires certificate holders to report data by submitting manuals and hazmat training programs, or a revision to an approved hazmat training program to obtain initial and final approval as part of the FAA certification process. Part 145 certificate holders are mandated to keep records showing that all employees in hazmat have been appropriately trained. The changes in this collection are from the rulemaking titled “Normalizing Unmanned Aircraft Systems Beyond Visual Line of Sight Operations.” This rulemaking results in two new types of operators that are subject to hazmat program requirements: part 108 certificated package delivery operators and part 108 permitted package delivery operators. Part 108 certificated package delivery operators are subject to hazmat manuals and training programs, recordkeeping requirements, submission of a hazmat-specific SRA for will-carry operators, and notification requirements. Part 108 permitted package delivery operators are subject to hazmat recognition training and recordkeeping requirements. Therefore, this collection includes to new ICs. In total, the collection only results in an increase of 2 hours. The increase stems from the new requirement that a hazmat-specific SRA be submitted to the FAA by part 108 certificated package delivery will-carry operators. The other burden increase for part 108 certificated package delivery operators is offset by a decrease in burden for part 135 operators. Additionally, the FAA does not currently estimate there are any part 108 permitted package delivery operators but has added an IC to ensure that in the future, the FAA can account for this burden as new entrants emerge. |

[NCEZID] Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance
Key Information
Abstract
The goal of [NCEZID] Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance is to monitor importation of SARS-CoV-2 variants among arriving international air travelers at select U.S. airports. Data will be used to inform early detection of imported SARS-COV-2 variants into the U.S. and for program management purposes. Data is collected from two lower nasal dry self-swabs from participants in airports that are pooled in batches of 5-10 samples. One sample will be pooled with samples from other travelers from the same flight origin country. Pooled samples undergo SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing and whole genome sequencing on positive samples to determine viral lineage. The second will be kept if there is a need to look more closely at a positive pool. Samples may be sent to CDC for further testing. Surveillance may be expanded to test for other pathogens such as influenza. Participants complete a questionnaire with their demographic, clinical, and travel history information and will be given a free antigen test kit for their time. This Non-Substantive Change Request is submitted to replace the existing instruction “list all connections” with the more explicit follow-up question: “Did you have any other connecting flights?” to allow data collection would flow more smoothly and result in higher quality, more consistent data collection. There is no change to the approved burden hours. |

National Driver Register (NDR)
Key Information
Abstract
The National Driver Register Act of 1982, Title 49 U.S.C., Subtitle VI, Part A, Chapter 303 (as amended) requires the Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by delegation) to maintain a National Driver Register (NDR) to assist the State chief driver licensing officials in the exchange of information about the motor vehicle driving records of individuals. The chief driver licensing official of a participating State must report to the NDR identification information regarding any individual who is denied a motor vehicle operator’s license for cause, whose motor vehicle operator’s license is withdrawn for cause, or who is convicted of certain serious motor vehicle related offenses (specified in the Act at 49 U.S.C. 30304) or comparable offenses. (23 U.S.C. 30304(a); 23 CFR 1327, Appendix A). Participating States are required to submit an inquiry to the NDR on all applicants for driver’s licenses before issuing a license to the applicant. In addition, when requested by other authorized users (e.g., the Federal Aviation Administration), participating States are required to submit inquires to the NDR and provide responses to the other authorized users of the NDR for transportation safety purposes. All 50 States and the District of Columbia participate in the NDR. The NDR maintains the computerized database known as the Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS) which contains information on individuals whose privilege to operate a motor vehicle has been revoked, suspended, canceled, or denied or who have been convicted of serious traffic-related offenses. The records maintained at the NDR consist of identification information including name, date of birth, sex, driver license number, and reporting State which is collected on a daily basis. States use interactive communication for their routine transactions with the NDR which allows them to submit the required information automatically at the same time the individual’s information is entered into the State’s system. Specifically, when an individual applies for a driver’s license, an inquiry is automatically transmitted to the NDR when the driver’s application is entered into the State’s system. Likewise, when a State records license actions that have been taken against an individual that require reporting to the NDR, a transaction submitting the individual’s identification information is automatically generated and transmitted to the NDR. The annual burden has increased from 13,739 hours to 13,763 (an increase of 24 hours). The estimate for burden hours and cost has increased due to the increase of clean files. |

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Competitive Grant Project Information
Key Information
Abstract
This is the renewal of a collection to solicit the data necessary to help the FAA evaluate and select airport terminal and tower projects for funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (P.L. 117-58), signed on November 15, 2021. IIJA provides annual funding of about $1,020,000,000 annually for these programs through FY 2026. Additionally, the IIJA directs funds that are unobligated at the end of the fourth fiscal year after being first made available under the Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) program be converted to a new competitive funding program for the final fiscal year of availability. Of the amounts converted, the first $100,000,000 is set aside to augment the IIJA’s FAA Contract Tower program. Funds exceeding $100,000,000 are then awarded through the new competitive grant program, called the AIG Funding Reallocation (AFR) program. Airport owners and managers (sponsors) who elect to compete for funding and obtain benefits from the IIJA Airport Terminal and Tower Programs will submit project information. The information collected is based on grant considerations outlined in the IIJA and allows the FAA to evaluate and distribute IIJA funds to address aging infrastructure at the nation’s airports. Some 3,075 airports are eligible to participate in the IIJA Airport Terminal Program and about 170 for the Tower Program, though not all will have a project that fits the criteria outlined in the IIJA. |

Patent Review and Derivation Proceedings
Key Information
Abstract
The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, which was enacted into law on September 16, 2011, provided for many changes to the procedures of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB” or “Board,” formerly the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences) procedures. These changes included the introduction of inter partes review, post-grant review, derivation proceedings, and the transitional program for covered business method patents. Under these administrative trial proceedings, third parties may file a petition with the PTAB challenging the validity of issued patents, with each proceeding having different requirements regarding timing restrictions, grounds for challenging validity, and who may request review. Inter partes review is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent only on a ground that could be raised under §§ 102 or 103, and only on the basis of prior art consisting of patents or printed publications. Post grant review is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent on any ground that could be raised under § 282(b)(2) or (3). A derivation proceeding is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to determine whether (1) an inventor named in an earlier application derived the claimed invention from an inventor named in the petitioner’s application, and (2) the earlier application claiming such invention was filed without authorization. The transitional program for covered business method patents is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a covered business method patent. The covered business method program expired on September 16, 2020 and the Board no longer accepts new petitions related to this program, but continues to accept papers in previously-instituted proceedings. This information collection covers information submitted by the public to petition the Board to initiate an inter partes review, post-grant review, derivation proceeding, and the transitional program for covered business method patents, as well as any responses to such petitions, and the filing of any motions, replies, oppositions, and other actions, after a review/proceeding has been instituted. |

The Commission seeks approval for a revision of its currently approved information collection requirement under OMB Control Number 3060-1022. The collection is being revised because we are consolidating the information collection requirements currently contained in collection 3060-1021 (§ 25.139) into 3060-1022; therefore, OMB Control Number 3060-1021 will be discontinued once the consolidation is approved by OMB. We are also revising estimates based on updated licensing activity with no programmatic changes. This collection includes a Part 25 rule and various rules in Part 101 that govern record retention, reporting, and third-party disclosure requirements related to satellite and terrestrial sharing of the 12.2-12.7 GHz band. The satellite operators are Non-Geostationary Orbit Fixed Satellite Service (NGSO FSS) and Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) Service.

Rupture Mitigation Valve Recordkeeping Requirements
Key Information
Abstract
Pipeline Safety Regulations require operators of natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines to document certain procedures and to maintain records pertaining to various aspects of their rupture-mitigation valve operations. Operators who have experienced a rupture or rupture-mitigation valve shut-off are required to complete a post-incident review. The post-incident summary, all investigation and analysis documents used to prepare it, and records of lessons learned must be kept for the life of the pipeline. PHMSA estimates that it will take operators, on average, 40 hours to comply with this requirement. Operators must also develop written rupture identification procedures to evaluate and identify whether a notification of potential rupture is an actual rupture event or non-rupture event as soon as practicable. These procedures must, at a minimum, specify the sources of information, operational factors, and other criteria that operator personnel use to evaluate a notification of potential rupture. PHMSA estimates that it will take operators 40 hours comply with this requirement. Operators are also required to maintain certain records if they experience certain circumstances involving their rupture-mitigation valve operations. On average, PHMSA expects that it will take operators 8 hours to complete these recordkeeping requirements. PHMSA estimates that 1,812 operators (1,304 natural gas and 508 hazardous liquid) operators will be potentially impacted by these requirements. At minimum, all 1,812 operators will be required to develop written rupture identification procedures. PHMSA estimates 46 (24 gas and 22 hazardous liquid) of these operators will experience a rupture that will require the completion of a post-incident summary. PHMSA expects that 10 percent of the affected community (approximately 181 operators) will be subject to the various other recordkeeping requirements. As a result, PHMSA expects this information collection to result in 2,383 responses and 77,320 burden hours annually. |
