Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
ICR Definition
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.

Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes20 USC 1140 (View Law) AbstractThe Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities Coordinating Center (TPSID-CC) program is the evaluation arm for the work that is being completed by the TPSID program grantees. TPSID-CC uses data collected from the work that the TPSID program grantees are doing on behalf of the TPSID program participants, to establish a comprehensive research and evaluation protocol for TPSID program grantees, non-TPSID program CTP (comprehensive transition programs) and pertinent stakeholders. TPSID program grantees can use the evidence-based information they receive from the data that is collected by the TPSID-CC to find ways to apply what they have learned to their respective TPSID program projects. Simultaneously, the TPSID-CC is also providing technical assistance to build the capacity of IHEs across the country to make college possible for students with intellectual disabilities who want to go to college Data must be collected by the TPSID-CC on accreditation standards and communications with recognized accrediting agencies; descriptions and analyses of funding streams, and the impact of the TPSID-CC’s technical assistance activities related to outreach and dissemination. In October 2020, the Institute for Community Inclusion (ICI), UMass Boston received a five-year cooperative agreement from the Office of Postsecondary Education to serve as the National Coordinating Center (NCC) for colleges and universities implementing inclusive higher education programs for students with intellectual disabilities, including 22 model demonstration projects aimed at creating inclusive comprehensive transition and postsecondary programs for students with intellectual disabilities known as Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSIDs). To reduce respondent burden, the NCC has streamlined and simplified the previously approved evaluation system for the TPSID programs. The NCC will enhance the collection and analyses of longitudinal follow-up data from TPSID model programs via an already developed and previously OMB approved evaluation system for the TPSID programs. The revised data collection system is part of an evaluation effort. The system will collect program data at the institutions from TPSID program staff via an online, secure data management system. |

International Mail Duty Worksheet
Key Information
AbstractA worksheet through which carriers will submit the information required by, and other information necessary to implement, Executive Order 14256, as amended. The worksheet is where the carrier will declare its duty collection methodology (i.e., ad valorem or specific duty) for the given month, package count, value (if applicable), and total duty amount. The second page will be utilized by the carrier to list the specifics of imported postal items. CBP will use this information to determine the amount of duty that carriers owe pursuant to Executive Order 14256, as amended. CBP can also use the worksheet as a reference when subsequently auditing carriers’ liability for duties.Emergency Justfication:IEEPA authorizes the President “to deal with any unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States.” 50 U.S.C. § 1701(a). Once the President declares a national emergency relating to such a threat, IEEPA empowers the President to “regulate . . . importation . . . with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.” Proclamation 10886 formally declared a national emergency in order to address and abate the synthetic opioid crisis from the PRC, Canada and Mexico to the United States. This crisis, noted in EO 14195, is “killing approximately two hundred Americans per day, putting a severe strain on our healthcare system, ravaging our communities, and destroying our families,” and synthetic opioid overdose “is the leading cause of death for people aged 18 to 45 in the United States.” Executive Order 14324 states that it is still necessary and appropriate to suspend duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) in the manner and for the articles described below to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threats, which have their source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. Following normal PRA clearance procedures would prevent CBP from getting PRA authorization for the International Mail Duty Worksheet urgently needed to properly gather all the necessary information, crucial to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threats which have their source in whole or substantial part outside the United States. |

Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes12 USC 3401-3422 (View Law) AbstractThe Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), under its statutory and regulatory authorities, may require such applicants to show they have the financial standing necessary to conduct their operations in compliance with Federal law during an alcohol or tobacco permit application investigation. However, the Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (the Act; 12 U.S.C. 3401 et seq.) limits the Federal Government’s access to the records of individuals held by financial institutions. The Act provides that a person may authorize a financial institution to disclose their individual records to a Federal agency, but it also requires the agency to certify to the institution that the agency has complied with the Act. To meet those requirements, a permit applicant uses TTB F 5030.6, Authorization to Furnish Financial Information and Certificate of Compliance, to authorize a financial institution to disclose their individual records to TTB, and TTB uses the form to certify to the institution that the agency has complied with the Act. |

Labeling Change for Certain Minimum Risk Pesticides under FIFRA Section 25(b) (Renewal)
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes7 USC 136 (View Law) AbstractThis information collection request documents the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) burden for the labeling requirements for certain minimum risk pesticide products exempt from Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) registration under 40 CFR 152.25(f). These requirements were updated in the final rule entitled: Pesticides; Revisions to Minimum Risk Exemption (80 FR 80653; December 28, 2015). Under 40 CFR 152.25(f), EPA has exempted from the requirement of FIFRA registration certain pesticide products if they are composed of specified ingredients and labeled accordingly. EPA created the exemption for minimum risk pesticides to eliminate the need for industry or business to expend significant resources to apply for and maintain regulated products that are deemed to be of minimum risk to human health and the environment. In addition, exempting such products freed Agency resources to focus on evaluating formulations whose toxicity was less well characterized, or was of higher toxicity. The 2015 Final Rule reorganized the ingredients lists and added specific chemical identifiers to clarify to manufacturers, the public, and Federal, state, and tribal inspectors the specific chemical substances that are permitted in minimum risk pesticide products. EPA also modified the label requirements to require the use of specific label display names of ingredients and to require producer contact information on the label. The primary goal of this rulemaking was to clarify the conditions of exemption for minimum risk pesticides by clarifying the specific ingredients that are permitted in minimum risk pesticide products and to provide company contact information on the label. The previous version of this ICR covered the paperwork burdens associated with existing products updating their labels to comply with the new requirements during the 2015 Final Rule’s compliance period. EPA anticipates that those burdens have been realized and is now accounting for the potential burden for new products coming into the market. |

The Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) may open refuge areas to any use, including hunting and/or sport fishing, upon a determination that the use is compatible with the purposes of the refuge and National Wildlife Refuge System mission. We collect information on hunters and anglers and their success in order to administer and evaluate hunting and fishing programs. Because of high demand and limited resources, we often provide hunt opportunities by lottery, based on dates, locations, or type of hunt. We collect information on the prospective hunter, on the preferred dates and locations, and on the type of hunt. We also require labeling of hunting/fishing equipment, require certain notifications be made to refuge staff, and collect information at the end of hunting and/or fishing experiences to help determine resource impacts and quality of experience. |
