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.

Regulations to Implement SAMHSA's Charitable Choice Statutory Provisions: 42 CFR Parts 54 and 54a
Key Information
Abstract
Section 1955 of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 300x-65), as amended by the Children's Health Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-310) and Sections 581-584 of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 290kk et. seq., as added by the Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 106-554)), set forth various provisions which aim to ensure that religious organizations are able to compete on an equal footing for Federal funds to provide substance abuse services. The regulations ensure that SAMHSA substance abuse programs are neutral with regard to the religious character of participating organizations and establish clearly the proper uses to which funds may be put and the conditions for receipt of funding. SAMHSA also provided a model "Notice to Individuals Receiving Substance Abuse Services" for use by religious organizations to inform program beneficiaries or potential beneficiaries who object to the religious character of that program participant that they have the right to referral to an alternate provider. |

Nuclear Material Events Database (NMED) for the Collection of Event Report, Response, Analyses, and Follow-up Data on Events Involving the Use of Atomic Energy Act Radioactive Byproduct Material
Key Information
Abstract
NRC regulations require NRC licensees to report incidents and over exposures, leaking or contaminated sealed source(s), release of excessive contamination of radioactive material, lost or stolen radioactive material, equipment failures, abandoned well logging sources and medical events. Agreement State licenses are also required to report these events to their individual Agreement State regulatory authorities under compatible Agreement State regulations. The NRC is requesting that the Agreement States provide information to NRC on the initial notification, response actions, and follow-up investigations on events involving the use (including suspected theft or terrorist activities) of nuclear materials regulated pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act. The event information should be provided in a uniform electronic format, for assessment and identification of any facilities/site specific or generic safety concerns that could have the potential to impact public health and safety. The identification and review of safety concerns may result in lessons learned, and may also identify generic issues for further study which could result in proposals for changes or revisions to technical or regulatory designs, processes, standards, guidance or requirements. |

Management Standards for Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
Some pharmaceuticals are regulated as hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when discarded. In 2019 EPA promulgated regulations for the management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals by healthcare facilities and reverse distributors (84 FR 5816, February 22, 2019). Healthcare facilities (for both humans and animals) and reverse distributors now manage their hazardous waste pharmaceuticals under a new set of sector-specific standards in lieu of the existing hazardous waste generator regulations. These regulations are found in 40 CFR 266, Subpart P, and are mandatory. The new requirements include labeling containers holding non-creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals and evaluated hazardous waste pharmaceuticals with the words Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals. Healthcare facilities and reverse distributors must also track or manage rejected shipments by sending a copy of the manifest to the designated facility that returned or rejected the shipment. Additionally, healthcare facilities and reverse distributors must submit exception reports for a missing copy of a manifest. Reverse distributors are required to amend their contingency plan under 40 CFR 262 Subpart M. A reverse distributor must submit an unauthorized hazardous waste report if it receives waste it is not authorized to receive. |

Abstract
In order for a State to obtain final authorization for a State hazardous waste program or to revise its previously authorized program, it must submit an official application to the EPA Regional office for approval. The purpose of the application is to enable the EPA to properly determine whether the State's program meets the requirements of 3006 of RCRA. A State with an approved program may voluntarily transfer program responsibilities to EPA by notifying the EPA of the proposed transfer, as required by section 271.23. Further, the EPA may withdraw a State's authorized program under section 271.23. State program revision may be necessary when the controlling Federal or State statutory or regulatory authority is modified or supplemented. In the event that the State is revising its program by adopting new Federal requirements, the State shall prepare and submit modified revisions of the program description, Attorney General's statement, Memorandum of Agreement, or such other documents as the EPA determines to be necessary. The State shall inform the EPA of any proposed modifications to its basic statutory or regulatory authority in accordance with section 271.21. If a State is proposing to transfer all or any part of any program from the approved State agency to any other agency, it must notify the EPA in accordance with section 271.21 and submit revised organizational charts as required under section 271.6, in accordance with section 271.21. These paperwork requirements are mandatory under 3006(a). The EPA will use the information submitted by the State in order to determine whether the State's program meets the statutory and regulatory requirements for authorization.

NESHAP for Metal Furniture Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63, subpart RRRR) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Surface Coating of Metal Furniture (40 CFR 63, Subpart RRRR) were proposed on April 24, 2002 and promulgated on May 23, 2003. The NESHAP is codified at 40 CFR part 63, Subpart RRRR. This supporting statement addresses new information collection activities that would be imposed by amendments as part of the EPAs residual risk and technology review (RTR), conducted in accordance with section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). As part of the RTR for the Surface Coating of Metal Furniture NESHAP, the EPA is revising the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule and the use of electronic data reporting for future performance test data submittals, notifications, and reports. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart RRRR. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests (if sources are using add-on controls to demonstrate compliance), 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 deviation from an emission limitation (either a numerical emission limit, an operating limit, or an equipment or work practice standard), 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 the NESHAP. |

NESHAP for Radionuclides (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart B, K, R, and W) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
On January 17, 2017, the EPA issued final revisions to the radon emission standards for 40 CFR part 61, subpart W (82 FR 5142). Included in the revisions were additional requirements that owners and operators of uranium recovery facilities maintain specific records pertaining to the design, construction and operation of all uranium tailings impoundments, both conventional and non-conventional, and heap leach piles, and create written and digital photographic records showing compliance with the requirement to maintain liquid in non-conventional impoundments so that any solid materials in the impoundment are not visible above the liquid level. Because these requirements were not included in the existing information collection request (ICR) for radionuclide NESHAPs (EPA Number 1100.17, OMB Control Number 2060-0191) a new ICR was established specifically to address the information collection requirements created by the revisions to subpart W (EPA Number 2464.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0706). At the present time, the Agency seeks to consolidate these two ICRs, so that all the information collection requirements under 40 CFR part 61 subpart W are included in a single ICR, together with the information collection requirements of subparts B, K, and R, effectively consolidating all information collection for radionuclide NESHAPs into a single ICR. Following OMB approval, EPA ICR Number 2464.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0706, will be discontinued. Information collected is used by the EPA to ensure that public health continues to be protected from the hazards of airborne radionuclides through compliance with these standards. Compliance is demonstrated through emissions testing and dose calculation when appropriate. Facilities are required to generate and maintain applicable records for 5 years, and to report results to the EPA. |

NSPS for Coal Preparation and Processing Plants (40 CFR part 60, Subpart Y) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Coal Preparation and Processing Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Y) were proposed on October 24, 1974, promulgated on January 15, 1976, and amended on October 8, 2009. These regulations apply to both existing facilities and new facilities that perform coal preparation and processing activities. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Y. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS. |

NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart JJJJJJ) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart JJJJJJ) affects new and existing industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers that are located at or part of area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The standard contains six subcategories: existing boilers designed to burn biomass, coal, or liquid fuels and new boilers designed to burn biomass, coal, or liquid fuels. The information collection activities include initial and annual stack tests, fuel analyses, operating parameter monitoring, biennial tune-ups, one-time energy audits, one-time and periodic reports, and maintenance of records. Varying levels of requirements apply to each subcategory. The information collection activities will enable EPA to determine initial and continuous compliance with emission standards for regulated pollutants, and ensure that facilities conduct proper planning, operation, and unit maintenance. The provisions of Section 114(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S. C Section 7414(a)(1) provide the broad authority for the reporting of compliance monitoring and enforcement information, along with Subpart Q-Reports in 40 CFR 51: Sections 51.324(a) and (b), and 51.327.. |

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP), created by EPA in 1994, is a voluntary program designed to encourage and facilitate the development of environmentally and economically sound landfill gas (LFG) energy projects across the United States to reduce methane emissions from landfills. LMOP meets these objectives by educating local governments and communities about the benefits of LFG recovery and use; building partnerships between state agencies, industry, energy service providers, local communities, and other stakeholders interested in developing this valuable resource in their community; and providing tools to evaluate LFG energy potential. LMOP signs voluntary Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with these organizations to enlist their support in promoting cost-effective LFG utilization. The information collection includes completion and submission of the MOU, periodic information updates, and annual completion and submission of basic information on landfill methane projects with which the organizations are involved as an effort to update the LMOP Landfill and Landfill Gas Energy Project Database. The information collection is to be utilized to maintain up-to-date data and information about LMOP Partners and LFG energy projects with which they are involved. The data will also be used by the public to access LFG energy project development opportunities in the United States. In addition, the information collection will assist LMOP in evaluating the reduction of methane emissions from landfills. |

State Program Adequacy Determination: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (MSWLFs) and Non-Municipal, Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal Units that Receive Conditionally Exempt...
Key Information
Abstract
Section 4010(c) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976 requires that EPA revise the landfill criteria promulgated under paragraph (1) of Section 4004(a) and Section 1008(a)(3). Section 4005(c) of RCRA further mandates the EPA Administrator to determine the adequacy of state permit programs to ensure owner and/or operator compliance with the revised federal criteria. A state program that is deemed adequate to ensure compliance may afford flexibility to owners or operators in the approaches they use to meet federal requirements, significantly reducing the burden associated with compliance. In response to the statutory requirement in 4005(c), EPA developed 40 CFR Part 239, commonly referred to as the State Implementation Rule (SIR). The SIR describes the state application and EPA review procedures and defines the elements of an adequate state permit program. The SIR does not require the use of a particular application form. The EPA Administrator has delegated the authority to make determinations of adequacy, as contained in the statute, to the EPA Regional Administrator. In all cases, the information will be analyzed to determine the adequacy of the state's permit program for ensuring compliance with the federal revised criteria. |

Notification of Episodic Releases of Oil and Hazardous Substances (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
Section 103(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, requires the person in charge of a facility or vessel to immediately notify the National Response Center (NRC) of a hazardous substance release into the environment if the amount of the release equals or exceeds the substances reportable quantity (RQ) limit. The RQs for the hazardous substance can be found in Table 302.4 of 40 CFR 302.4. Section 311 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) as amended, requires the person in charge of a vessel to immediately notify the NRC of an oil spill into U.S. navigable waters if the spill causes a sheen, violates applicable water quality standards, or causes a sludge or emulsion to be deposited beneath the surface of the water or upon adjoining shorelines. The reporting of a hazardous substance release that is at or above the substances RQ allows the federal government to determine whether a federal response action is required to control or mitigate any potential adverse effects to public health or welfare or the environment. Likewise, the reporting of oil spills allows the federal government to determine whether cleaning up the oil spill is required to mitigate or prevent damage to public health or welfare or the environment. The hazardous substance and oil release information collected under CERCLA section 103(a) and CWA section 311 also is available to EPA program offices and other federal agencies that use the information to evaluate the potential need for additional regulations, new permitting requirements for specific substances or sources, or improved emergency response planning. Release notification information is stored in EPAs Web EOC, a web-based crisis management system which supports response management for significant incidents and daily operations in the Regional Response Centers and EPAs Headquarters Emergency Operations Center. State and local government authorities and the regulated community use release information for purposes of local emergency response planning. The public has access to release information through the Freedom of Information Act. The public may request release information for purposes of maintaining an awareness of what types of releases are occurring in different localities and what actions, if any, are being taken to protect public health and welfare and the environment. |

State Operating Permit Regulations (40 CFR part 70) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
Title V of the Clean Air Act requires states to develop and implement a program for issuing operating permits to all sources that fall under any Act definition of "major" and certain other non-major sources that are subject to federal air quality regulations. The Act further requires the EPA to develop regulations that establish the minimum requirements for those state operating permits programs and to oversee implementation of the state programs. The EPA regulations setting forth requirements for the state operating permit program are at 40 CFR part 70. In order to receive an operating permit for a major or other source subject to the part 70 permitting program, the applicant must conduct the necessary research, perform the appropriate analyses and prepare the permit application with documentation to demonstrate that its facility meets all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. State and local agencies under part 70 review permit applications, provide for public review of proposed permits, issue permits based on consideration of all technical factors and public input and revew information submittals required of sources during the term of the permit. Also, the EPA reviews certain actions of the state and local agencies and provides oversight of the programs to ensure that they are being adequately implemented and enforced. Consequently, information prepared and submitted by sources is essential for sources to receive permits, and for state, local and tribal permitting agencies to adequately review the permit applications and thereby properly administer and manage the program. |

Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
The information collection requirements contained in the proposed rule titled “Transparency in Coverage,” published November 27, 2019 (84 FR 65464), would require group health plans and health insurance issuers offering coverage in the individual and group markets to disclose to a participant, beneficiary, or enrollee (or an authorized representative on behalf of such individual), the estimated cost-sharing liability for covered items or services from a particular provider or providers, thereby allowing a participant, beneficiary, or enrollee to obtain an accurate estimate and understanding of their potential out-of-pocket expenses and to effectively shop for covered items and services. Group health plans and health insurance issuers would be required to make such information available through a self-service tool on an internet website. The self-service tool must provide the information through real-time responses and allow users to search for cost-sharing information for covered items and services. The self-service tool must also allow users to input information necessary to learn the out-of-network allowed amount for a covered item or service and have the capability to refine and reorder results. Group health plans and health insurance issuers would also be required to make this information available as a disclosure in written form. Both the self-service tool and the paper disclosure would be required to include several disclaimer statements relevant to information provided through the disclosure and could be provided by using a model notice developed by the Departments. Additionally, group health plans and health insurance issuers would be subject requirements to disclose in-network provider negotiated rates and historical payment data for allowed amounts for covered items and services furnished by out-of-network providers through two digital files in a machine-readable format to be specified by the Departments. The Negotiated Rate file and the Allowed Amount file must be posted publicly on an internet website. |
