Change Requests

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 July 19, 2025.

10 CFR Part 51, Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions

Key Information

Abstract

FINAL RULE _ RENEWING NUCLEAR POWER PLANT OPERATING LICENSES – ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. The NRC’s regulations at 10 CFR part 51 specify information to be provided in environmental reports by applicants and licensees so that the NRC can make determinations necessary to adhere to the policies, regulations, and public laws of the United States, which are interpreted and administered in accordance with the provisions set forth in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended. The NRC is amending its environmental protection regulations by updating the Commission’s 2013 findings on the environmental effect of renewing the operating license of a nuclear power plant. This final rule redefines the number and scope of the environmental issues that must be addressed during the review of each application for license renewal. As part of this update, the NRC is issuing Revision 2 to NUREG-1437, “Generic Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants” (LR GEIS), to account for new information and to address the impacts of initial license renewals, which the previous versions considered, as well as first subsequent license renewals. The LR GEIS, Revision 2, provides the technical basis for the final rule. The information submitted in the Environmental Report will be used by the NRC to fulfill its responsibilities in the licensing review of nuclear power plants.

Building and Sustaining the Child Care and Early Education Workforce (BASE)

Key Information

Abstract

The BASE project aims to understand factors that affect child care and early education (CCEE) workforce dynamics, including employment recruitment, retention, and advancement, as well as to build the evidence base about strategies that may help to recruit, retain, and advance the CCEE workforce. The proposed information collection aimed to build the evidence base about the implementation, costs, and impacts of strategies aimed at improving the compensation and economic well-being of educators in child care center-based and home-based settings. The BASE project will do so by leveraging two pilot initiatives being implemented by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC) that provide additional funding and supports to center-based child care settings to improve teacher compensation and funding for home-based child care settings to support the provision of benefits to owners (referred to as providers hereafter) and staff (referred to as assistants hereafter). Key data collection activities included a follow-up survey fielded to teachers in the center-based pilot and a follow-up survey fielded to providers and assistants in the home-based pilot. Staff at CDEC suggested that, although the outreach materials were ok to send in English, the instruments for teachers and home-based providers should also be offered in Spanish for those who may feel more comfortable completing the survey in that language. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) has translated the teacher and provider follow-up surveys (Instruments 2 and 3) and the consent information for these surveys (Appendix C) into Spanish (Instruments 2S and 3S, Appendix CS). These translations do not change any content of the currently approved survey instruments or consent documentation.

National Double-Crested Cormorant Survey

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service, we) is the Federal agency delegated with the primary responsibility for managing migratory birds. Our authority derives from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703–712), as amended, which implements conventions with Great Britain (for Canada), Mexico, Japan, and Russia. We implement the provisions of the MBTA through the regulations in parts 10, 13, 20, 21, 22, and 92 of title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The MBTA protects migratory birds (listed in 50 CFR 10.13) from take directed at birds, except as authorized under the MBTA. Regulations pertaining to specific migratory bird permit types are at 50 CFR parts 21 and 22. The double-crested cormorant (cormorant) is a fish-eating migratory bird that is distributed across a large portion of North America. There are five different breeding populations, variously described by different authors as the Alaska, Pacific (or Western), Interior, Atlantic, and Southern populations. Although these populations are described by their breeding ranges, the birds commingle to various extents on their migration and wintering areas, with birds from populations closer to each other overlapping more than those that are more distant. In response to ongoing damage at aquaculture facilities and other damage and conflicts associated with increasing cormorant populations, the Service administers regulations that authorize the take of cormorants through regular Depredation Permits (50 CFR 21.100) or the Special Double-crested Cormorant Permit available only to State and Tribal Fish and Wildlife Agencies (50 CFR 21.123). Take through these two permit types is supported by National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) assessments that were completed in 2017 (an Environmental Assessment (EA) supporting issuance of depredation permits) and 2020 (an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) supporting creation of the Special Double-crested Cormorant Permit). The 2020 EIS contained a Potential Take Limit (PTL) assessment to determine sustainable take of cormorants that is used to inform permitting decisions. Federal, State, Tribal, and many private entities share the Service’s goal of maintaining sustainable cormorant populations. Many of these entities conduct cormorant monitoring and contribute to ongoing research and regional or local cormorant management efforts. However, to date, coordinated monitoring across the Flyways with shared objectives and standardized sampling design does not exist. The desire to enhance existing monitoring efforts was shared in comments by States, Tribes, nongovernment organizations, and members of the public during the 2020 rulemaking process. Therefore, the Service committed to work in partnership with the four North American Flyways (Pacific, Central, Mississippi, and Atlantic) to develop a monitoring program for each subpopulation of cormorants. In the 2020 FEIS, the Service made the commitment to monitor cormorant populations and produce a report every five years that provides analyses from population monitoring and other status information. The survey, which was develop in coordination with the four Flyways, will be conducted for the first time in 2024 and is scheduled to be repeated every 5 years in order to update population estimates and PTL assessments.

Proposed Water System Restructuring Assessment Rule (WSRAR)

Key Information

Abstract

"Title II of the Americas Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA) reauthorized and amended the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). AWIA Section 2010(a) amended SDWA subsection 1414(h) to require EPA to promulgate a regulation that includes a new mandatory assessment authority for state, tribal and territorial government agencies that have primary enforcement responsibility (primacy). The Agency intends to satisfy the SDWA 1414(h) mandate by issuing the proposed WSRAR. Approved primacy agencies may exercise this authority to require a public water system (PWS) to assess options for system restructuring, including forms of consolidation or the transfer of ownership to improve drinking water quality. AWIA Section 2010(b) amended SDWA section 1413, which describes the required elements of primacy, to include the new mandatory assessment authority. Primacy agencies include each of the 49 states (all U.S. states except Wyoming), Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Virgin Islands, and Navajo Nation, for a total of 56 primacy agencies. Because AWIA directly amended the SDWA primacy requirements, all 56 primacy agencies must submit a primacy revision application to EPA that meets the proposed WSRAR primacy requirements. This ICR describes costs and burden for all 56 primacy agencies to conduct the following activities: Adopt the regulation by developing primacy agency programs, and submitting primacy revision packages to EPA for review and approval; Update data systems; Analyze data on water systems that are potential candidates for a mandatory assessment; Develop PWS outreach and education materials about the WSRAR; Train staff for adoption and implementation of the rule."

Survey of International Air Travelers

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Commerce assists in the collection, analysis, and dissemination of tourism data. The Survey of International Air Travelers program provides source data required to: (1) estimate international travel and passenger fare exports, imports and the trade balance for the United States, (2) comply with the U.S. Travel Promotion Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-145), collect a one percent sample of inbound travelers, analyze and report information to government and industry stakeholders, and support the increase of U.S. exports, (3) to comply with travel and tourism related acts to collect and publish comprehensive international travel and tourism, statistics and other marketing information, and (4) support the continuation of the Travel & Tourism Satellite Accounts for the United States, which provide the only spending and employment figures for the industry, and (5) to support the goals of objectives of the 2022 National Travel & Tourism Strategy. Scope: The Survey program contains the core data that is collected monthly, via the survey instrument from passenger respondents departing from U.S. international gateway airports on randomly selected flights (U.S. or foreign national carriers). Benefits: Survey data is analyzed and communicated by NTTO with other government agencies, associations and businesses that share the same objective of increasing U.S. international travel exports. The Survey assists NTTO in assessing the economic impact of international travel on state and local economies, providing visitation estimates, key market intelligence, and identifying traveler and trip characteristics. The Survey program provides the only available estimates of nonresident visitation to the states and cities within the United States, as well as U.S. resident travel abroad.

Designation of Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS) as CERCLA Hazardous Substances (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

Under Section 102(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), the EPA will designate PFOA and PFOS, including their salts and structural isomers, as hazardous substances. The designation of PFOA and PFOS as hazardous substances will require any facility that identifies a release of one pound or more within a 24-hour period of these substances, including their associated salts and structural isomers, to report the release to the National Response Center (NRC) under section 103 of CERCLA and to the state and local officials under section 304 of Emergency Planning and Community Right-to Know Act (EPCRA). The implementing regulations of CERCLA section 103 and EPCRA section 304 are codified at 40 CFR parts 302 and 355, respectively. In addition, pursuant to Section 111(g) of CERCLA, an owner or operator of a facility where a hazardous substance has been released is required to provide reasonable notice to potential injured parties by publication in local newspapers serving the affected area. Furthermore, as required by CERCLA section 120(h), when a federal agency sells or transfers federally owned real property, the agency must provide notice of the presence of hazardous substances and covenants regarding the remediation of such hazardous substances in certain circumstances. The designation will also place an obligation on DOT to list and regulate CERCLA designated hazardous substances as hazardous materials under the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act.
