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, or 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.
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.

Maritime Illness Database and Reporting System (MIDRS)
Key Information
Abstract
The CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) is requesting a 3-year Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance for this revision information collection request (ICR). In the past three years, the VSP has received 13,352 AGE reports to through its “Maritime Illness Database and Reporting System (MIDRS)” (OMB Control No. 0920-1260; expiration date 04/30/2022). Since the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the number of cruise ship voyages operating to U.S. ports of call. Between March 2020 and October 2021, cruise industry operations were suspended under a federally issued No Sail Order, and then subsequently under a Conditional Sailing Order to prevent the risk of introducing, transmitting, and spreading COVID-19 by cruise ship travelers. As a result, the number of AGE reports submitted to MIDRS in 2020 and 2021 was substantially lower (n=2,667 and n=1,717, respectively), compared to 2019 (n=8,968). The information collected by the VSP is designed to align with and support the collaboration between the cruise ship industry and government to define and reduce health risks associated with vessels and to ensure a healthful and clean environment for vessels’ passengers and crew. |

Judicial, Court, and Attorney Measures of Performance (JCAMP)
Key Information
Abstract
Child welfare courts including judges, attorneys play a key role in ensuring the safety, permanency, and well-being of children in the child welfare system. However, few courts have the data or the ability to analyze and use data in a meaningful way to improve practice and outcomes for children and families. The Judicial, Court, and Attorney Measures of Performance (JCAMP) project is developing a set of national performance measures for child welfare court stakeholders to consistently collect and use to inform practice changes. To inform the JCAMP project, the surveys proposed in this request would collect information from Court Improvement Programs (CIP). CIP was created to assess and improve foster care and adoption laws and judicial processes. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) awards CIP grants to the highest court systems in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This information collection includes surveys of CIP Administrators and their data staff in an effort to better understand data capacity among CIPs and to collect feedback from CIPs who agree to pilot the performance measures. |

46 CFR 532 - NVOCC Negotiated Rate Arrangements
Key Information
Abstract
Section 16 of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. § 40103, authorizes the Federal Maritime Commission (“Commission”) to exempt by order or regulation “any class of agreements between persons subject to this [Act] or any specified activity of those persons from any requirement of this [Act] if the Commission finds that the exemption will not result in substantial reduction in competition or be detrimental to commerce. The Commission may attach conditions to any exemption and may, by order, revoke an exemption.” The Commission added 46 CFR 532 to exempt non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs) from the more stringent tariff rate publication requirements of the Shipping Act of 1984 and related provisions of the Commission’s regulations to permit them to enter into negotiated rate arrangements (NRAs) with shippers.76 FR 11351 (March 2, 2011). The Commission subsequently extended the tariff rate publication exemption contained in 46 CFR part 532 to foreign based unlicensed NVOCCs as well. 78 FR 42886 (July 10, 2013). The exemption is conditioned upon the NVOCC including a prominent notice invoking the exemption in its electronically published rules tariff and indicating their intention to the Commission. In addition, NVOCCs must maintain original NRAs and associated records for 5 years in a format easily produced to the Commission and furnish those records promptly upon request from the Commission. |

The Form 714 is authorized by the Federal Power Act and is a regulatory support requirement as provided by 18 CFR § 141.51. The data will be used to obtain a broad picture of interconnected balancing authority area operations including comprehensive information of balancing authority area generation, actual and scheduled inter-balancing authority area power transfers, and load; and to prepare status reports on the electric utility industry including review of inter-balancing authority area bulk power trade information. The Commission uses the collected data to analyze power system operations along with its regulatory functions. These analyses estimate the effect of changes in power system operations resulting from the installation of a new generating unit or plant, transmission facilities, energy transfers between systems, and/or new points of interconnections. Also, these analyses serve to correlate rates and charges, assess reliability and other operating attributes in regulatory proceedings, monitor market trends and behaviors, and determine the competitive impacts of proposed mergers, acquisitions, and dispositions. |

7 USC 6s(g), 6s(f), 6s(j) (View Law) Pub.L. 111 - 203 124 Stat. 1376 (2010) (View Law) Abstract
On April 3, 2012 the Commission adopted Commission regulations 23.600 (Risk Management Program), 23.601 (Monitoring of Position Limits), 23.602 (Diligent Supervision), 23.603 (Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery) 23.606 (General Information: Availability for Disclosure and Inspection), and 23.607 (Antitrust Considerations) pursuant to section 4s(j) of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). The above regulations adopted by the Commission would, among other things, require swap dealers (“SD”) and major swap participants (“MSP”) to develop a risk management program (including a plan for business continuity and disaster recovery and policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable position limits). The Commission believes that the information collection obligations imposed by the above regulations are essential to ensuring that swap dealers and major swap participants maintain adequate and effective risk management programs and policies and procedures to ensure compliance with position limits. |

ASSISTANCE TO FOREIGN ATOMIC ENERGY ACTIVITIES
Key Information
Abstract
Under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, the Secretary of Energy has the authority to authorize proposed exports of unclassified U.S. nuclear technology and assistance. Control over such exports is necessary in order to prevent nuclear proliferation and to facilitate legitimate civil nuclear commerce. In order to implement this legal authority, DOE promulgated a rule found at 10 CFR Part 810. This rule describes what activities are within the scope of control, what activities are generally authorized by the Secretary, and what activities require a specific authorization. The rule also provides the information requirements for reporting generally authorized activities and applications for specific authorization. Information Collection 1901-0263 implements these requirements. |

Notice of Arrival of Pesticides and Devices under section 17(c) of FIFRA
Key Information
Abstract
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (Customs) regulations at 19 CFR 12.112 require that an importer desiring to import a pesticide or device into the United States shall, prior to the shipment's arrival in the United States, submit a Notice of Arrival (NOA) of Pesticides and Devices (EPA Form 3540-1 or its Customs-authorized electronic equivalent) to EPA. Once EPA receives the NOA, EPA will determine the disposition of the shipment upon its arrival in the United States. Upon completing its review, the EPA response is sent to the importer of record or licensed customs broker, who must present the NOA to Customs upon arrival of the shipment at the port of entry. This is necessary to ensure that EPA is notified of the arrival of pesticides and pesticidal devices as required under FIFRA section 17(c), and that EPA has the ability to examine such shipments to determine compliance with FIFRA. Customs compares entry documents for the shipment with the NOA and notifies the EPA regional office of any discrepancies. Alternatively, importers may submit NOA information electronically through Customs’ Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). Most of the electronic filings are automatically processed, and an early indication is provided to the filer if the initial reporting requirements have been met and if the shipment can be released upon arrival at the port of entry. For those filings that do not meet the reporting requirements, automatic checks will be performed to notify the filer of errors. For filings that require non-automated checks, EPA staff can review and provide feedback notifications through ACE to the filer on what information is needed that has not been provided. |

NSPS for the Phosphate Fertilizer Industry (40 CFR Part 60, Subparts T, U, V, W, and X) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), for Phosphate Fertilizer Industry (40 CFR Part 60, Subparts T, U, V, W, and X) were proposed on October 22, 1974, promulgated on August 6, 1975, and amended on August 19, 2015 . These regulations apply to both existing facilities and new facilities that engage in the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers (wet-process phosphoric acid plants, super-phosphoric acid plants, diammonium phosphate plants, and triple superphosphate plants), and have a design capacity of more than 15 tons of equivalent phosphorous pentoxide (P2O5) feed per calendar day. These standards also apply to new and existing facilities that store granular triple superphosphate. These same standards establish fluoride emission limitations as a measure of phosphorus-bearing feed material at affected facilities. The affected facilities may include a combination of reactors, filters, evaporators, hot wells, acid sumps, cooling tanks, granulators, dryers, coolers, screens, mills, mixers, curing belts (dens), coolers, and facilities which store run-of-pile triple superphosphate, depending on the type of plant. 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 T, U, V, W, and X. 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. |
