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.

Facilities Transferring Oil or Hazardous Materials in Bulk -- Letter of Intent and Operations Manual
Key Information
Abstract
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) requires the issuance of regulations to prevent the discharge of oil or hazardous materials from facilities. It also requires the monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping regarding discharges of oil or hazardous materials by facilities. The authority for the requirements is 33 U.S.C. 1321. The Letter of Intent regulations in 33 CFR 154.110 serves as the official notice from a facility operator to the Captain of the Port (COTP) that they intend to operate a facility. The Operations Manual regulations in 33 CFR 154.300 through 154.325 establish procedures for facility personnel to follow when transferring oil or hazardous materials, in bulk, to or from a vessel in order to reduce the number of spills caused by human error or improper procedures. This collection applies to shore side facilities and does not apply to facilities operating in the Outer Continental Shelf. It also establishes procedures for facility personnel to follow in the event a spill occurs to control and mitigate the effects of the spill. Development of a new Operations Manual is a one-time occurrence whenever a new facility begins operation or a facility changes ownership. Amendments to manuals are used to ensure they are kept current. |

National Ground-Water Monitoring Network Cooperative Funding Program
Key Information
Abstract
The USGS is working with the Federal Advisory Committee on Water Information (ACWI) and its Subcommittee on Ground Water (SOGW) to develop and administer a National Ground-Water Monitoring Network (NGWMN). This network is required as part of Public Law 111-11, Subtitle F-Secure Water: Section 9507 "Water Data Enhancement by the United States Geological Survey". The Network will consist of an aggregation of well data from existing Federal, Multi-state, State, Tribal, and local groundwater monitoring networks. To support data providers for the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network, the USGS will be providing funding through cooperative agreements to water-resource agencies that collect groundwater data. The USGS will be soliciting applications for funding that will request information from the Agency collecting the data. Elements will include contact information (phone number and email address), and a proposal describing their existing data collection and a plan to evaluate their data for incorporation into the NGWMN. The proposal will be evaluated by the USGS and the NGWMN Program Board to appropriate funding. The proposal will describe the groundwater networks to be included in the NGWMN, the purpose of the networks, an estimate of the number of wells they would submit for the network, an overview of the methods they would use to select and classify wells for the network a description of data collection techniques, and information on their databases. The proposal would also require estimates of one-time costs to complete the above tasks and annual costs to participate in the network. |

Chesapeake Bay Program Citizen Stewardship Index, Diversity Profile, and Local Leadership Surveys (New)
Key Information
Abstract
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program (the Program) is interested in tracking its progress at attaining its goals under the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement (the Agreement). To do this, the Program plans to implement three surveys: the Citizen Stewardship Survey, the Diversity Profile Survey, and the Local Leadership Survey. The Citizen Stewardship Survey will be implemented as a multi-mode survey that includes phone, web, and mail components and will target approximately 5,200 residents living in the Chesapeake Bay area, stratified by jurisdiction (states and the District of Columbia). The Diversity Profile Survey will be implemented among people who work on partnership efforts within the Bay area as a web-based survey. The Local Leadership Survey will be implemented among state and local elected officials involved in policy making in the Bay area also as a web-based survey. The Diversity Profile Survey and the Local Leadership Survey will be implemented by having the survey link distributed via email by partner organizations and through list-servs. The Diversity Profile Survey will be distributed to approximately 900 people while the Local Leadership Survey will be distributed to approximately 15,000 people. The Program will be using the data from these three surveys to track it progress under the Stewardship goal of the 2014 Agreement. The Stewardship goal includes three outcomes: (1) Citizen Stewardship, (2) Local Leadership, and (3) Diversity. The three surveys under this ICR each address one of the outcomes and contribute to EPA's Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) goals (EPA Goal 1, A Cleaner, Healthier Environment; Objective 1.2: Provide for Clean and Safe Water). Collecting these data and publishing them for public review will allow the public to track how well the Agreement is working to preserve and protect the Chesapeake Bay region from the standpoint of the Stewardship goal outlined in the Agreement. Overall, the Agreement contains 10 goals and their associated outcomes; data for the other nine goals are collected through other means. Combining the data for Stewardship goal outcomes from these surveys with the data for the other nine goals will provide the public with a comprehensive picture of the progress being made to preserve and protect the Chesapeake Bay. |

Evaluation of Public Visitors' Experience at the National Marine Sanctuaries Visitor Centers and Exhibits
Key Information
Abstract
This request is for a revision and extension of a current information collection. This information collection is being revised to include the collection instruments approved under OMB Control Number 0648-0777, after which that control number will be discontinued. The title of this collection is being changed to encompass both collections. The evaluation of visitor demographics, experiences, and opinions about visitor centers and exhibits is needed to support the conservation, education, and management goals of the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) to strengthen and improve the stewardship, sustainable use, and protection of natural, cultural, and historical resources. Under the jurisdiction of ONMS and to satisfy legal mandates, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is authorized to conduct evaluations, such as this information collection, under the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act (section 314(c)) to ensure education programs have measurable objectives and milestones as well as clear, documented metrics for evaluating its programs. We therefore are seeking to find out if people visiting ONMS’ visitor centers and exhibits are receiving our new messages by conducting an optional exit survey. Conducting thorough evaluations will aid in vital decisions regarding exhibit renovation, new exhibits, interpretation programs, and educational content. |
