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.

Questionnaire About Employment or Self-Employment Outside the United States
Key Information
Abstract
When a Social Security beneficiary or claimant reports work outside the United States, SSA uses Form SSA 7163 to determine if foreign work deductions are applicable. Specifically, SSA uses Form SSA-7163 to determine: (1) whether work performed by beneficiaries outside the United States is cause for deductions from their monthly benefits; (2) which of two work tests (foreign or regular test) is applicable; and (3) the number of months, if any, for SSA imposed deductions. As the respondents are beneficiaries living and working outside the United States, SSA must determine whether the annual earnings test applies to all earnings from work covered by the Social Security Act (Act), including earnings from covered work performed outside the United States. However, because of the differences in foreign currency values, it is administratively impractical to apply this test to earnings from non-covered work performed outside the United States and base it on United States dollars. Accordingly, the 45-hour work test provides for deductions from the benefits of employees under full retirement age who engage in non-covered remunerative activity for more than 45 hours in a calendar month. SSA asks beneficiaries working outside the United States to complete this form annually or every other year (depending on the country of residence). Respondents are beneficiaries or claimants for Social Security benefits who are engaged in work outside the United States. |

State Mental Institution Policy Review
Key Information
Abstract
SSA makes annual grants to the Protection and Advocacy Agencies (P&A) in each state to conduct, for SSA, all representative payee reviews. The collection of this information is mandatory for the completion of onsite reviews of State mental institutions. The P&As use Form SSA-9584-BK to collect information during State mental institutions onsite reviews. The P&As use the SSA-9584-BK to: (1) to determine if the policies and practices of a State mental institution acting as a representative payee for SSA beneficiaries conform to SSA’s regulations in the use of benefits; (2) to confirm that institutions are performing other duties and responsibilities required of representative payees; and (3) as the basis for conducting onsite reviews of the Institutions and preparing subsequent reports of findings. The respondents are State mental institutions serving as representative payees for Social Security beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients. |

Statement Regarding Marriage
Key Information
Abstract
Some State laws recognize marriages entered into without a ceremony (called common-law marriages). SSA uses Form SSA753 to obtain third-party statements about intent and cohabitation, which are the basic tenets for determining if a relationship is a common-law marriage. SSA ultimately uses the information to determine if a valid marital relationship exists for entitlement to spouse/widow(er) benefits. The respondents are third party individuals/households. We are making non-substantive changes to make the form a fillable PDF. |

National Capital Region Application for Public Gathering, 36 CFR 7.96 (g)
Key Information
Abstract
The Public Gathering Permit System is an extension of the National Park Service (NPS) statutory responsibilities to protect the park areas it administers and to manage public use. NPS regulations, as applicable to demonstrations and special events in National Capital Region (NCR) parks, are designed to implement statutory mandates to provide for resource protection and public enjoyment. These regulations reflect the special demands on many of the urban NCR parks as sites for demonstrations and special events. The NPS collects information in the Public Gathering Permit application to allow NPS officials to determine that groups conducting demonstrations and special events will use adequate measures to ensure order within their own ranks and to assist in protecting demonstrating groups. Permit applications also provide a means to request waivers of numerical limitations on the White House sidewalk and in Lafayette Park and to ensure demonstrating groups take adequate measures to minimize the possibility of danger to the White House and its occupants. |

NSPS for Kraft Pulp Mills for which Construction, Reconstruction or Modification Commenced after May 23, 2103 (40 CFR part 60, subpart BBa) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Kraft Pulp Mill Affected Sources for Which Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification Commenced After May 23, 2013 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart BBa) were proposed on May 23, 2013, and promulgated on April 4, 2014. These regulations apply to emissions of particulate matter (PM) and total reduced sulfur (TRS) at recovery furnaces, smelt dissolving tanks (SDTs), lime kilns, digester systems, brown stock washer (BSW) systems, multiple effect evaporator systems and condensate stripper systems at kraft pulp mills that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after May 23, 2013. At pulp mills, where kraft pulping is combined with neutral sulfite semi-chemical pulping, the provisions of this subpart are applicable when any portion of the material charged to an affected source is produced by the kraft pulping operation. This subpart includes provisions specifying that sources complying with the TRS standard for digester systems, BSW systems, evaporator systems and condensate stripper systems by venting to a control device must collect the gases in a closed-vent system subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart S. Facilities may be exempt from the TRS standard in the NSPS if the facility can demonstrate that TRS emissions from a brown stock washer cannot feasibly be controlled either technically or economically. 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 BBa. 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. |

Abstract
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Group IV Polymers and Resins (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart JJJ) were proposed on March 29, 1995; promulgated on September 12, 1996; and most-recently amended on March 27, 2014. These regulations apply to each new and existing thermoplastic product process units (TPPU) and associated equipment that produce the subset of polymers and resins known as Group IV Polymers and Resins that is a major source of organic hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Group IV polymers and resins include the following source categories: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Methyl Methacrylate Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (MABS), Methyl Methacrylate Butadiene Styrene (MABS), Nitrile Resin, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Polystyrene (PS), and Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN). The following processes are excluded from this rule: research and development facilities; polymerization processes occurring in a mold; processes which manufacture binder systems containing thermoplastic product for paints, coatings, or adhesives; finishing processes including equipment such as compounding units, spinning units, drawing units, extruding units, and other finishing steps; and solid state polymerization processes. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal and meets the new source definitions at 63.1310(i). This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart JJJ. 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. |
