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.

| 202106-2138-006 | Report of Financial and Operation Statistics for Large Certified Air Carriers | DOT/BTSA | 2021-07-22 | Active | Revision of a currently approved collection
Report of Financial and Operation Statistics for Large Certified Air Carriers
Key Information
Abstract
This is a mandatory collection from large certificated air carriers on their financial condition. It consists of balance sheet and income/expense information. The collection is on a monthly, quarterly, semi annual & annual basis depending on the size of the air carrier and the data being reported. The Department of Transportation uses this data to determine continuing air carrier fitness, safety analysis, international route negotiations. The Department of Commerce uses this data to prepare its benchmark estimates of the gross domestic product. The Department of Justice uses this data to conduct antitrust analysis. The Department of Energy uses this data to monitor industry fuel consumption for emergency preparedness. This is a revision to a current collection in that we are asking for additional burden hours to collect segregated fees charged by the air carriers. Air carriers already report this data but not in a separate identifiable form. The burden hours affected pertain only to the P-2 Notes and consist of an additional two hours to prepare, per report, per respondent. |

Tribal Trust Evaluations for P.L. 93-639 Compact Tribes
Key Information
Abstract
As codified in 25 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., the American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act of 1994 (the Reform Act), makes provisions for the Bureau of Trust Funds Administration (BTFA) (formerly known as the Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians (OST)) to administer trust funds accounts for individuals and Tribes. This collection of information is required to fulfill the mission of BTFA and the Secretary of the Interior’s responsibility for evaluating all P.L. 93-638 Compact Tribes administering and managing trust programs, functions, services, and/or activities on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior. This responsibility is federally mandated pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 458cc(d) and 25 CRF 1000.350. The BTFA Division of Trust Evaluation and Review (DTER) (formerly known as the Office of Trust Review and Audit (OTRA)) is responsible for performing trust examinations, evaluations and assessments of Indian trust programs and functions, pursuant to executive direction by the Secretary of the Interior. In addition, DTER has a congressional mandate to conduct Annual Tribal Trust Evaluations for Tribes that administer or manage trust programs, functions, services, and/or activities under P.L. 93-638 Self-Governance Compacts on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior. These evaluations are conducted by performing desk reviews (via e-mail questionnaires) and/or teleconferences, as well as on-site visits. |

National Marine Sancturary Permits
Key Information
Abstract
This request is for revision and extension of an existing information collection. Changes from the previous submission include updated ONMS permit application and applicant instructions to improve the quality of information initially collected and to make the permit process more efficient; the correction of a mathematical error that increased the total burden hours for baitfish permits; the removal of lionfish permits in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS); and the addition of ten general permits to the annual estimate, five of these due to the designation of Mallows Bay - Potomac River National Marine Sanctuary (MPNMS), and five permits due to the designation of Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary (WSCNMS). This data collection request is for information collected in support of the review of Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) permit applications and the issuance of permits in a manner that protects sanctuary resources and qualities. Permit decisions must be consistent with the purposes and policies of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA; 16 U.S.C. §§ 1431 et seq.), the purposes for which the sanctuary was designated, and the regulations governing the National Marine Sanctuary System (15 CFR Part 922). The regulations list specific activities that are prohibited in national marine sanctuaries and establish that otherwise prohibited activities may be conducted if such activity is specifically authorized by and conducted in accordance with the scope, purpose, terms and conditions of a permit issued by ONMS. For most permit types, persons desiring a permit must submit an application, and anyone obtaining a permit is generally required to submit one or more reports on the activity allowed under the permit. The information collection supports determinations on whether proposed activities comply with ONMS permit categories and applicable regulatory review criteria. It allows ONMS to make decisions on possible permit terms and conditions deemed reasonably necessary to protect sanctuary resources and qualities, such as terms and conditions to avoid, minimize, or mitigate injury to sanctuary resources. |

To meet the statutory requirements of 6 U.S.C. § 573, Emergency Communications Division (ECD) is mandated to conduct the SAFECOM Nationwide Survey every 5 years to assess evolving capability needs and gaps and track progress against policy initiatives; status of strategic plans; and major industry or market shifts affecting the emergency communications capability. CISA ECD will conduct a web-based survey entitled the SAFECOM Nationwide Survey, hereinafter referred to as the SNS. The purpose of the survey is to gather information to assess available emergency communications capabilities and identify gaps and needs for emergency response providers to effectively communicate during all types of natural or man-made hazards. CISA ECD will use the information collected to complete a statutorily mandated assessment and share the data with all stakeholders that have a role in emergency communications. In order to ascertain this information, the SNS will deploy four similar surveys across the nation to various emergency response disciplines at each level of government - federal, state, territorial, tribal, and local. The survey will solicit responses regarding issues affecting the public safety community to determine a jurisdiction’s level of operability, interoperability and continuity and thus their overall emergency communications capability level. CISA ECD will analyze the data collected from this general survey to identify major gaps and themes affecting emergency communications across levels of government. Additionally, this analysis informs the development of supplemental surveys tailored to specific needs across the public safety community, as well as future iterations of the Nationwide Baseline Communications Assessment (NCBA) and National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP). |

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. |
