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.

Notice to Student or Exchange Visitor
Key Information
Abstract
CBP initiates the Form I-515A receipt or notice to allow an academic nonimmigrant student (F-1), vocational nonimmigrant student (M-1), exchange visitor (J-1), or dependent (F-2, M-2 or J-2) who is without proper documentation to enter the United States temporarily for a 30-day period. To extend the authorized duration of the visit, the F, J or M nonimmigrant must obtain the required documents and, along with the Form I-515A, submit them to the SEVP office within 30-days of entry. This change removes references to “original documents” and “sign in BLUE ink”; replaces mailing address with email address to submit documents electronically; and adds the full titles of Form I-20 and Form DS-2019 for accuracy. The Form I-515A serves as a receipt to an F, M or J nonimmigrant who has been granted 30-day admission to the United States until they submit requested documents to prove eligibility for “duration of status” admission. The revised form clarifies that electronically signed Forms I-20 and DS-2019 are acceptable following the Dec. 12. 2022, Department of Homeland Security’s Interim Final Rule (IFR), “Removal of Obsolete Procedures and Requirements Related to F, J, and M Nonimmigrants,” and Department of State’s March 28, 2023, IFR, “Exchange Visitor Program—Interim Provisions.” |

Consolidation of Certain Reporting and Recordkeeping under Section 8 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
This consolidated ICR involves reporting and recordkeeping activities established under TSCA section 8 for chemical substances. Although imposed for a specific chemical substance, the activities are already established and only vary based on the specific authority under TSCA section 8 and the need for the information for that chemical. EPA is consolidating these ICRs to streamline the presentation of the paperwork burden estimates for these various activities, which will in turn facilitate and reduce the administrative burden for both the public reviewers and the Agency in terms of reviewing and updating the ICR every three (3) years as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., as well as allow for a better assessment of the paperwork burden and costs associated with reporting and recordkeeping activities established under TSCA section 8 for specific chemical substances. This information collection request (ICR) covers reporting and recordkeeping requirements imposed under the authorities in section 8 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2607, for persons who manufacture (the term manufacture includes import under TSCA)(Attachment 1) or process chemical substances, mixtures, or categories, or distribute them in commerce. The purpose of the information collection activities is to collect data that will help the Agency evaluate the potential for human health and environmental risks that may be caused by the manufacture, processing, and distribution in commerce of chemical substances, mixtures, or categories. This ICR addresses the following four (4) types of information collections (ICs) required by TSCA section 8 and identifies the persons required to keep records and report such information. The ICs are numbered to facilitate the presentation in the ICR and link to supporting information; and the numbering is not otherwise intended to convey any sequencing or prioritization. |

This collection is used by business firms which bring merchandise into a foreign trade zone, to register the admission of such merchandise to zones and to apply for the appropriate zone status.

Imported merchandise may be brought into FTZs for storage, manipulation, manufacture, or other processing and subsequent removal for exportation, consumption in the United States, or destruction. A company bringing goods into an FTZ has a choice of zone status (privileged/non-privileged foreign, domestic, or zone-restricted), which affects the way such goods are treated by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and treated for tariff purposes upon entry into the customs territory of the United States. |

Generally, Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) requires that a registration statement be filed with the Commission before any securities are publicly offered and that the registration statement be effective before any securities are sold. Section 5(b) of the Securities Act further requires that investors be furnished with a prospectus (which constitutes a major part of each registration statement) containing the information to enable them to evaluate the securities and make informed investment decisions. Section 7 and Schedule A of the Securities Act delineate the information required to be contained in a registration statement. Section 7 expressly gives the Commission the authority to vary such disclosure for various classes of issuers and securities. Pursuant to this authority, the Commission adopted Form S-8 (17 CFR 239.16b), a simplified registration statement that may be used to register securities offered under employee benefit plans. A principal function of the Commission’s forms and rules is to make material information available to investors and other market participants. The information required by Form S-8 informs security holders, investors, broker dealers, investment banking firms, professional securities analysts, and others when making investment and voting decisions in connection with the securities. |
