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.

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. The terrestrial operators are Multichannel Video Distribution and Data Service (MVDDS). |

FY24 Competitive Highway Bridge Program (CHBP)
Key Information
Abstract
This is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) information collection request that is voluntary. It is for States that wish to compete for grants from the Fiscal Year 2024 Competitive Highway Bridge Program (CHBP). The CHBP provides funding for bundled bridge replacement and rehabilitation projects. The CHBP requirements, and funding in the amount of $250 million, are authorized in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, Public Law 118-42, Section 126, March 9, 2024. Information will be collected from as many as eighteen State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs) that are eligible to apply. The collection will request project applications that FHWA will use to make determinations on grants. Applications are submitted once (one time frequency) with as many as three applications submitted by each eligible State DOT. FHWA will review the collected information to establish project eligibility, and evaluate project merit, readiness, and contribution to priorities and strategic goals. Examples of the information that will be collected include summary project information describing work type and scope, costs, and cost sharing. Information will include National Bridge Inventory and other data that identifies the bridge locations, types, conditions, and attributes that explain improvement needs. Information will include narrative discussion, data, and analysis that demonstrates how the project satisfies the CHBP goals and merit criteria. Applicants that receive grants will be required to submit a grant agreement that memorializes commitments made in their application, semi-annual progress and financial reports that track progress and ensure financial accountability, and performance indicator values that are linked to project commitments and CHBP goals. |

This request is for extension of a currently approved information collection. The information collection previously listed as ‘CCF Family of Forms’ was broken out into five separate collections in order to provide more granularity into the collection. These are not new requirements and do not change the information collected, rather they provide greater detail into the use and frequency of the information collected. NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) established the Capital Construction Fund (CCF) tax deferral program to allow fishermen to more quickly save for vessel acquisition, construction, or reconstruction. The information collected by NMFS involves applying for and entering into a formal agreement to defer taxable income, enroll vessels eligible for deposits, register objectives planned under the agreement, make deposits within the regulatory limits, withdraw funds for eligible purposes, certify total costs at completion, show the current depreciable tax basis in a fishing vessel, and verify proper reduction of the tax basis. The CCF program is a tax deferral program, not a tax free benefit, and the data collection allows for the enrollment, operation, and essential tax recapture required by the program. |

Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Scientific Research Permits, Exempted Fishing Permits, Letters of Acknowledgment, Display Permits, and Shark Research Fishery Permits
Key Information
Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recently reviewed the application form and annual reporting form for the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Exempted Fishing Permit Program. As part of that review, NMFS identified several areas that could be revised to improve clarity, reduce redundancies, and remove outdated information. These revisions will streamline the application and reporting form, and will not impact the number of individuals who are required to complete and submit these forms nor the burden on the individuals to do so. A description of the non-substantive changes to the application and annual report form are described below. |

Motor Carrier Records Change Form
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
49 USC 13904 49 USC 13902 49 USC 13905(c) 49 USC 13903 Abstract
This information collection is mandatory reporting for which the frequency is on an as needed basis. The information is collected from for-hire motor carriers, brokers and freight forwarders who are required to notify the Office of Registration and Safety Information located within DOT’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), when they change the name or address of their company. The name change request may be filed online through the Licensing and Insurance website, or companies may fax or mail the form requesting either name or address changes. Carriers may also, by use of this form, request reinstatement of a revoked operating authority either online or via fax. The purpose of the collection is to enable FMCSA to maintain up-to-date records which will allow the agency to recognize the entity in question in case of enforcement actions, or other procedures required to ensure the carrier is fit, willing and able to provide for-hire transportation services. The collection will also enable entities whose authority has been revoked to undergo the process to resume operations, if they are not otherwise blocked from doing so. This multi-purpose form simplifies the process of gathering the information needed to process the entities’ requests in a timely manner, with the least amount of effort for all parties involved. The information reported to and collected by FMCSA is motor carrier identification information (such as legal names, DOT numbers, etc.), phone numbers, address changes, changes in ownership, management, or control of the company, reinstatement of operating authority information, and payment information. This ICR renewal has a program adjustment of an increase of 37,551 responses and 9,387 burden hours. The increase is due to the increase in the number of respondents who completed Form MCSA-5889 from 2020-2022. |

Registration for Classification as a Refugee
Key Information
Abstract
The Form I-590 is the primary document in all refugee case files and becomes part of the applicant's A-file. It is the application form by which a person seeks refugee classification and resettlement in the United States. It documents an applicant's legal testimony (under oath) as to his or her identity and claim to refugee status, as well as other pertinent information including marital status, number of children, military service, organizational memberships, and violations of law. In addition to being the application form submitted by a person seeking refugee classification, Form I-590 is used to document that an applicant was interviewed by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and record the decision by the USCIS Officer to approve or deny the applicant for classification as a refugee. Regardless of age, each person included in the case must have his or her own Form I-590. Refugees applying to CBP for admission must have a stamped I-590 in their travel packet in order to gain admission as a refugee. They do not have refugee status until they are admitted by CBP. |

FERC-542, Gas Pipeline Rates: Rate Tracking
Key Information
Abstract
The FERC-542 contains the following information collections: (1) Research, development, and deployment expenditures; (2) annual charge adjustments (ACA) and (3) periodic rate adjustments. The Natural Gas Act (NGA) requires FERC to regulate the transmission and sale of natural gas for resale in interstate commerce and to ensure the rates jurisdictional natural gas pipelines charge are just and reasonable. It provides FERC with the authority to implement NGA mandates through its rules and regulations. FERC allows jurisdictional pipelines to flow through to their customers such costs as fuel or electric power costs necessary to operate compressor stations as well as the costs of storage services; research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) expenditures and FERC annual charge adjustment (ACA) assessments. To ensure these charges result in just and reasonable rates, FERC requires jurisdictional pipelines to file detailed and summary information on these flowed costs in the FERC-542. Analyses of FERC-542 data helps the Commission evaluate the charges to ensure compliance with NGA rate requirements. |

FERC-516, Electric Rate Schedules and Tariff Filings
Key Information
Abstract
Section 206 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824e, obligates the Commission to remedy unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory or preferential rates, terms, and conditions of transmission service. The FERC 516 collection contains the information collection requirements for developing, submitting, and reporting tariff information to the Commission. In this non-substantive change to the FERC-516 information collection to rollover the burden from a related information collection, the FERC-732. The FERC-732 has been an approved as information collection number since OMB approved the collection on January 24, 2007. Upon Commission staff review, the Commission has determined that the FERC-732: Electric Rate Schedules and Tariffs: Long-Term Firm Transmission Rights in Organized Electricity Markets belongs under the FERC-516 that encapsulates electric tariff filings. Upon OMB approval of this non-substantive update, the Commission plans to discontinue the FERC-732 collection. |
