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.

| 202201-1902-004 | FERC-732, Electric Rate Schedules and Tariffs: Long-Term Firm Transmission Rights in Organized Electricity Markets | FERC | 2022-01-26 | Active | Revision of a currently approved collection
FERC-732, Electric Rate Schedules and Tariffs: Long-Term Firm Transmission Rights in Organized Electricity Markets
Key Information
Abstract
The Commission requires all Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs), Independent Service Operators (ISOs), independent transmission providers, or other independent transmission organizations to make available long-term firm transmission rights to load-serving entities (LSEs). The Commission implemented this policy with Order No. 681, Order No. 681-A and Order No. 681-B, following direction provided by Congress in EPAct 2005, Title VII Section 1233 (b). A summary and needed clarification to the Commission’s policy for long-term firm transmission rights is posted in the OMB clearance package. To ensure that long-term firm transmission rights are made available in organized markets, the Commission requires that RTOs, ISOs, independent transmission providers, or other independent transmission organizations submit tariff sheets and rate schedules that make available long-term firm transmission rights, or alternatively, an explanation of how their current tariff and rate schedule provide for long-term firm transmission rights. These long-term firm transmission rights made available to transmission customers must satisfy each of the guidelines for long-term firm transmission rights set forth in 18 CFR 42.1(d) in order to comply with Commission requirements. All existing RTOs and ISOs were required to submit the applicable tariff sheets and rate schedules and have done so. However, FERC-732 requirements in 18 CFR 42.1(d) continue to apply to any transmission organization approved by the Commission after January 29, 2007. Therefore, a small burden for this reporting requirement remains to ensure FERC is compliant with related Congressional requirements in EPAct 2005. |

Authorizing Statutes
10 USC 1481 (View Law) 10 USC 1483 (View Law) 10 USC 1484 (View Law) 10 USC 1485 (View Law) 10 USC 1486 (View Law) Abstract
The information collection requirement is necessary to obtain the selection (as applicable) of the Person Authorized to Direct Disposition (PADD) or the Person Authorized to Effect Disposition (PAED) of the remains of the decedent. These forms were directed by the Secretary of Defense for transparency and standardization of the mortuary procedures as part of the Final Report of the Dover Port Mortuary Independent Review Subcommittee Implementation Plan and 180-day study. The applicable form(s) is included in the individual case file of the decedent. The respondents are the PADD or PAED of the decedent and the witness to that selection. The PADD or PAED document their election, sign the applicable form to formalize this process and document the election of the PADD or PAED as applicable. These forms become a part of the Official Individual Deceased Personnel File. If the PADD or PAED do not sign these forms, then the Department cannot provide mortuary and transportation services as requested by the PADD or PAED. Currently, there is a lack of standardization across the Military Services as each Service currently utilizes different forms for these elections and they do not all capture the same information even on similar forms. Standardizing the information collected is essential in maintaining the transparency and integrity of the mortuary affairs process. |

Sections 73.1212, 76.1615 and 76.1715, Sponsorship Identification
Key Information
Abstract
On April 22, 2021, the Commission adopted Sponsorship Identification Requirements for Foreign Government-Provided Programming, Report and Order, MB Docket No. 20-299, FCC 21-42 (rel. Apr. 22, 2021). The Commission updated its existing sponsorship identification requirements to address the issue of undisclosed foreign government provided programming. Specifically, the Commission adopted new foreign government sponsorship identification requirements to require broadcast television and radio stations to make a specific disclosure at the time of broadcast if material aired pursuant to the lease of time on the station has been sponsored, paid for, or furnished by a foreign governmental entity that indicates the specific entity and country involved. Licensees of each broadcast station also are required to exercise reasonable diligence to ascertain whether the foreign sponsorship identification requirements apply at the time of the lease agreement and at any renewal thereof. These obligations expressly apply to any programming broadcast pursuant to a section 325(c) permit. This submission is being made to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval of the modified disclosure requirements for this Information Collection, as adopted in the 2021 Report and Order. The modified information collection adds the information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR 73.1212(j) and (k). |

Focus Groups As Used By EPA For Economics Projects (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking approval for a generic information collection request (ICR) for the conduct of focus groups and one-on-one interviews related to economics projects primarily for survey development. Focus groups are groups of individuals brought together for moderated discussions on a specific topic or issue. These groups are typically formed to gain insight and understanding of attitudes and perceptions held by the public surrounding an issue. One-on-one interviews, as the term implies, are individual interviews in which a respondent is generally asked to review materials and provide feedback on their content and design as well as the thought processes that the materials invoke. Focus groups and one-on-one interviews (hereafter referred to collectively as focus groups) used as a qualitative research tool have three major purposes: To better understand respondents attitudes, perceptions and emotions in response to specific topics and concepts; To obtain respondent information useful for better defining variables and measures in later quantitative studies; and To further explore findings obtained from quantitative studies. Through these focus groups, the Agency will be able to gain a more in-depth understanding of the publics attitudes, beliefs, motivations and feelings regarding specific issues and will provide invaluable information regarding the quality of draft survey instruments. Focus group discussions are necessary and important steps in the design of a quality survey. |

Abstract
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plating and Polishing Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWWWW) apply to both existing and new plating and polishing facilities that are an area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions and that use one or more of the following metal HAP: Cadmium, chromium, lead manganese, or nickel (hereafter referred to as the plating and polishing metal HAP). A plating and polishing facility is a plant site that is engaged in any of the following processes: Non-chromium electroplating; electroless or non-electrolytic plating; other non-electrolytic metal coating processes such as chromate conversion coating, nickel acetate sealing, sodium dichromate sealing, and manganese phosphate coating, and thermal spraying; dry mechanical polishing of finished metals and formed products after plating or thermal spraying; electroforming; and electro-polishing. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, 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 with 40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWWWW. |
