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.

A Coastal Management Needs Assessment and Market Analysis for Financing Resilience

Key Information

Abstract

This is a new collection of information. NOAA’s Office of Coastal Management (OCM) and its regional, state, federal, and non-profit partners have worked closely with coastal managers across the country to increase the resilience of our coastal communities, economies and ecosystems. Per the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), OCM provides financial and technical assistance to states and territories, including that which helps its customers (coastal managers) develop hazard mitigation and climate adaptation plans that include strategies for short-term responses to immediate threats (e.g., flooding, hurricanes) as well as long-term responses to gradual changes (e.g., sea level rise, drought). Services are provided through outreach, training, funding, resource, and tool development. In many coastal communities, investment in mitigation and resilience measures remains either limited or reactive in response to a catastrophic event. While there are no data on the number of adaptation plans that have been implemented, lack of funding is a frequently cited barrier to implementation. Understanding the suite of funding and financing options available at the time resilience planning is undertaken, and then incorporating financial strategies into the planning process and recommendations, will help ensure that these plans are implemented.

Socio-Economic Survey of Hired Captains and Crew in New England, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Gulf of Mexico Commercial Fisheries

Key Information

Abstract

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS or NOAA Fisheries) Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) and the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) are requesting revisions to this standard collection of information. The proposed revisions would do the following to the currently approved information collection. 1. Expand the geographic scope from New England and the Mid-Atlantic only to include New England, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico commercial fisheries; 2. Change the title from “Socio-Economic Survey of Hired Captains and Crew in New England and Mid-Atlantic Commercial Fisheries” to “Socio-Economic Survey of Hired Captains and Crew in New England, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico Commercial Fisheries”; 3. Make minor revisions to the survey form that address regional differences in fisheries; 4. Increase the burden hours to the sum of the burden hours for all four regions; and 5. Extend it for three years. The purpose of this survey is to provide for the ongoing collection of socioeconomic data for regulatory analysis related to fisheries and their communities in the Northeast and Southeast Regions of the United States. NMFS needs the socioeconomic data included in this information collection to be capable of more than cursory efforts to comply with or support the following laws, Executive Orders (EOs) and NOAA Fisheries strategies and policies, which require socioeconomic data and analyses.

Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp (Duck Stamp) and Junior Duck Stamp Contests

Key Information

Abstract

A valid Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp (Duck Stamp) is an annual licensing requirement for all migratory bird hunters. Artwork for the stamp is chosen by a panel of judges during an annual art contest. The Duck Stamp and Junior Duck Stamp contests encourage the public to engage in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s conservation mission. In support of directives in SO 3347, the Duck Stamp and Junior Duck Stamp programs actively engage Americans of all ages to better understand the biological requirements and conservation management of waterfowl and wetlands. Contestants portray their understanding of the anatomy and ecology of waterfowl as well as the importance of wildlife conservation and the waterfowl hunting heritage in order to successfully compete. Contest entry forms are necessary to enable the Service to track contestants’ artwork during the contest judging process, verify age and unique artwork requirements, and return artwork.

National Science Foundation Education and Training Application Pilot

Key Information

Abstract

The main goal of the current study is to pilot test alternative approaches to collecting data required by Congress in the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010, which states that students in the REU program must “be tracked, for employment and continued matriculation in STEM fields, through receipt of the undergraduate degree and for at least three years thereafter” (Section 514[a][6] of Public Law 111-358). The legislation also mentions specific demographic characteristics of participants that need to be collected, such as gender, ethnicity, and enrollment in a two-year college. In addition to needing these data to report to Congress, NSF program officers (POs) and leadership need a more robust data system to enhance their efforts to monitor participation in the program and eventually to assess its effectiveness.

Land-Based Wind Energy Guidelines

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, working with the Wind Turbine Guidelines Advisory Committee, developed the Land-Based Wind Energy Guidelines (Guidelines). These voluntary Guidelines provide a structured, scientific process for addressing wildlife conservation concerns at all stages of land-based wind energy development. They describe a process for wind project developers to use to gather information to identify sites with low risk to wildlife, and to assess, mitigate, and monitor the potential adverse effects of wind energy projects on wildlife and their habitats. They also promote effective communication among wind energy developers and Federal, State, and local conservation agencies and tribes. These Guidelines are intended to: * Promote compliance with relevant wildlife laws and regulations; * Encourage scientifically rigorous survey, monitoring, assessment, and research designs proportionate to the risk to species of concern; * Produce potentially comparable data across the Nation; * Mitigate, including avoid, minimize, and compensate for potential adverse effects on species of concern and their habitats; and, * Improve the ability to predict and resolve effects locally, regionally, and nationally. Although the Guidelines are voluntary, they are designed to minimize impacts to wildlife, including species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C 703-712), Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668d), and Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531-1544), as well as species not afforded protection under these Acts, but which are potentially significantly impacted by wind energy development (e.g., sage grouse). The Guidelines are also consistent with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-667e) and Executive Order 13186, "Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds" (January 10, 2001). When used in concert with appropriate regulatory tools, the Guidelines form the best practical approach for conserving species of concern.

EPA’s Voluntary Methane Challenge and Natural Gas STAR Programs

Key Information

Abstract

The Natural Gas STAR Methane Challenge Program is a voluntary program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that provides an innovative voluntary mechanism through which oil and natural gas companies can make specific, ambitious commitments to reduce methane emissions. This Program is an integral part of the EPAs ongoing commitment to address methane emissions and global climate change, and was developed through extensive stakeholder engagement and support from companies and trade organizations in the oil and gas industry. Methane is the primary component of natural gas and a potent greenhouse gas. The Program works to encourage oil and natural gas companies to go above and beyond existing regulatory action and make meaningful and transparent commitments to yield significant methane emissions reductions in a quick, flexible, cost-effective way. Transparency in comprehensively tracking company commitments through the non-confidential data reported by Methane Challenge partners is a key feature of the Program, and enables partners to highlight emissions reductions achieved through voluntary action taken. Implementation of the Methane Challenge Programs two commitment options, the Best Management Practice Commitment and the ONE Future Emissions Intensity Commitment, improves operational efficiency, saves partner companies money, and enhances the protection of the environment.

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Area Sources: Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYYY) apply to existing and new Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking facilities that are area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. The standards establish particulate matter (PM) emission limits for control devices and opacity limits for melt shops, pollution prevention requirements for ferrous scrap that is melted in EAFs, and monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYYY.

NESHAP for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants (40 CFR part 63, subpart LL) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LL) were proposed on September 26, 1996, promulgated on October 7, 1997, and most-recently amended on October 15, 2015. The 2015 amendment includes: 1) polycyclic organic matter (POM) emission limits for new, existing and reconstructed prebake potlines; 2) revised POM limits for new, existing and reconstructed Soderberg potlines; 3) carbonyl sulfide (COS) emission limits for new, existing and reconstructed potlines; 4) POM emission limits for existing pitch storage tanks; 5) particulate matter (PM) emission limits for new, existing and reconstructed potlines, paste production plants and anode bake furnaces; 6) mercury (Hg) limits for new, existing and reconstructed anode bake furnaces; 7) arsenic, nickel and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) limits for new, existing and reconstructed Soderberg potlines; 8) new work practice standards for anode bake furnaces, paste production plants and potlines; and 9) eliminates the exemptions for periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunctions (SSM). The amendment also reduces the testing frequency for total fluoride (TF) from prebake and Soderberg potlines and POM from Soderberg potlines from monthly to semiannually. These regulations apply to the following affected sources at a primary aluminum reduction plant are covered: each new and existing pitch storage tank, potline, paste production plant and anode bake furnace that is located at a plant site that is a major source as defined at 63.2 (except for anode bake furnaces that are not located on the same site as a primary aluminum reduction plant). New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LL. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing these documents and retain this file for at least five years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Glass Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CC) were proposed on June 15, 1979, promulgated on October 7, 1980, and amended on both October 19, 1984 and October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to both existing and new glass melting furnaces located at glass manufacturing plants. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart A), as well as the specific requirements at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CC. This includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards.

Abstract

OMB Memorandum M-20-23, “Aligning Federal Agency Operations with the National Guidelines for Opening Up American Again,” dated April 20, 2020, requires employers to develop and implement policies and procedures for workforce contact tracing following an employee’s COVID-19 positive test. In doing so, M-20-23 requires symptomatic Federal employees and contractors to follow their Agency’s process if they are symptomatic or test positive for COVID-19. EPA’s processes will protect the anonymity and privacy of Federal employees and contractors, to the extent possible, while disclosing only the information necessary for agencies to take appropriate actions of notifying potentially affected employees and cleaning the facility. Additionally, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance entitled Get and Keep America Open, COVID-19 Contact Tracing is essential to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Furthermore, in response to the Coronavirus Pandemic, public health leaders are calling for communities around the country to ramp up capacity and implement a massive contact tracing effort to control spread of the Coronavirus. The response and recovery from the effect of COVID-19 will continue to present Federal agencies with unprecedented challenges, as well as opportunities for improvement, that require new processes and practices such as COVID-19 Contact Tracing to keep the workforce and the public safe. As EPA plans to reconstitute the workforce, it is essential to have an internal EPA Contact Tracing Program that informs mission readiness and protects our workforce.
