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.

| 202007-2070-002 | TSCA Existing Chemical Risk Evaluation and Management; Generic ICR for Interviews and Focus Groups | EPA/OCSPP | 2020-07-24 | Active | New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
TSCA Existing Chemical Risk Evaluation and Management; Generic ICR for Interviews and Focus Groups
Key Information
Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) intends to initiate a new voluntary information collection for chemical industry research involving focus groups, one-on-one interviews, and other structured discussions to provide more comprehensive and accurate information to inform the risk evaluation and risk management of existing chemicals as required under section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). In 2016, the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (LCSA), which updated TSCA, was signed into law. Under TSCA, EPA must prioritize chemical substances for risk evaluation; conduct risk evaluations to determine whether chemical substances present unreasonable risk; and manage any unreasonable risks found to be presented, all under strict statutory deadlines. Many of these chemicals may have multiple conditions of use that fall under EPA’s authority under TSCA. Under TSCA, for each chemical substance evaluated, EPA must evaluate hazards and exposures. The purpose of this ICR is to help fill data gaps for EPA’s risk evaluations and risk management of existing chemicals under section 6 of TSCA. In accordance with TSCA section 26, EPA must make TSCA section 6 risk evaluation and risk management decisions consistent with the best available science and based on the weight of the scientific evidence. To carry out its statutory obligations, EPA needs sufficient information about chemicals undergoing risk evaluation and risk management, including information related to the chemicals’ conditions of use, hazards, exposures, potentially exposed or susceptible sub-populations, health and environmental effects, benefits, reasonably ascertainable economic consequences, alternatives, and other information. The collection of such information is subject to TSCA’s strict statutory time frames (set forth in section 6). Therefore, EPA is seeking approval for a generic information collection request (ICR) to conduct interviews and focus groups of chemical users, processors, distributors, manufacturers (including importers), and recyclers, chemical waste handlers, consumers of chemical-containing products, employees who may be exposed to the chemical evaluated, state and local regulators, non-governmental organizations, industry experts, and knowledgeable members of the public (including potentially exposed or susceptible sub-populations) related to information collection for TSCA chemical risk evaluation and risk management. As appropriate, under this ICR EPA would collect data in several ways, such as interviews and focus groups. This research would consist of open-ended structured discussions or interviews with individuals or small groups of individuals, and therefore can provide in-depth information. These information collection efforts are intended to supplement other reasonably available information on chemicals in commerce and will provide support for the Agency’s policy and regulatory activities regarding existing chemicals under TSCA section 6. Data collected under this generic clearance may be used in several ways during the risk evaluation and risk management processes, including establishing generic scenarios, developing models of various conditions of use of chemicals evaluated under TSCA or their alternatives, pretesting survey questions, and providing important context for publicly available information already available to EPA. By learning more about the conditions of use, hazards, exposures, potentially exposed or susceptible sub-populations, health and environmental effects, benefits, reasonably ascertainable economic consequences, alternatives, and other information for chemicals being evaluated or regulated, EPA would be able to more precisely and effectively carry out its risk evaluation and risk management obligations under TSCA. |

| 202007-2060-002 | NESHAP for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart FFFFF) (Final Rule) | EPA/OAR | 2020-07-13 | Active | Revision of a currently approved collection
NESHAP for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart FFFFF) (Final Rule)
Key Information
Abstract
This action finalizes the residual risk and technology review (RTR) conducted for the Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing Facilities source category regulated under national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP). The Agency found that risks due to emissions of air toxics from this source category are acceptable and that the current NESHAP provides an ample margin of safety to protect public health. Under the technology review, we found no developments in practices, processes, or control technologies that necessitate revision of the standards. In addition, we are taking final action to establish emission standards for mercury in response to a 2004 administrative petition for reconsideration which minimizes emissions by limiting the amount of mercury per ton of metal scrap used. We also are removing exemptions for periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) consistent with a 2008 court decision, and clarifying that the emissions standards apply at all times; adding electronic reporting of performance test results and compliance reports; and making minor corrections and clarifications for a few other rule provisions. These amendments require electronic reporting; remove the SSM exemptions; and impose other revisions that affect reporting and recordkeeping for integrated iron and steel facilities. We are also promulgating standards for mercury that require facilities to certify the type of steel scrap they use or conduct a performance test. This information is collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFFF. |

| 202007-2060-001 | NESHAP for Site Remediation (40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGGG) (Final Rule) | EPA/OAR | 2020-07-10 | Historical Active | Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection
NESHAP for Site Remediation (40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGGG) (Final Rule)
Key Information
Abstract
The amendments to this information collection request (ICR) are a result of the review of the existing NESHAP for Site Remediation (40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGGG) as required by the Clean Air Act (CAA). The NESHAP published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGGG were July 30, 2002, promulgated on October 8, 2003, and amended on November 29, 2006. These regulations apply to site remediation activities that clean up materials containing organic hazardous air pollutants (HAP), where the site remediation is co-located at any facility with one or more stationary source that emit HAP, and where the facility is a major source of HAP. Major sources of HAP are sources that emit any single HAP at a rate of 10 tons or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 25 tons or more per year. Site remediation activities may potentially occur at any facility where materials containing organic HAP currently are or have been stored, processed, treated, or otherwise managed at the facility. The types of businesses most likely to be subject to this rule include, but are not limited to, organic liquid storage terminals, petroleum refineries, chemical manufacturing facilities, and manufacturing facilities using organic materials. 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 63, subpart GGGGG. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notification reports, 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. The rulemaking amends title 40, chapter I, part 63, subpart GGGGG revising the leak detection and repair (LDAR) requirements. In addition, the final amendments also add requirements for each pressure relief devices (PRD) in the event that a pressure relief device releases HAP to the atmosphere due to actuation of the device. Information related to these new provisions is required to be submitted in the semiannual reports required by the existing NESHAP. Burden changes associated with these final amendments would result from new recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated with the LDAR and PRD requirements for all facilities subject to subpart GGGGG. |

| 202006-0648-004 | Marine Recreational Fishing Expenditure Survey (MRFE) | DOC/NOAA | 2020-07-08 | Active | Revision of a currently approved collection
Marine Recreational Fishing Expenditure Survey (MRFE)
Key Information
Abstract
The objective of the survey is to collect information on both trip expenditures and annual durable good expenditures made by marine recreational anglers. The survey will be conducted in two phases. One phase of the survey will ask anglers about their purchases of durable goods such as fishing gear, boats, vehicles, and second homes. The second phase will ask anglers about the expenses incurred on their most recent marine recreational fishing trip. As specified in the Magnuson-Stevenson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1996 (and reauthorized in 2007), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is required to enumerate the economic impacts of the policies it implements on fishing participants and coastal communities. The expenditure data collected in this survey will be used to estimate the economic contributions and impacts of marine recreational fishing to each coastal state and nationwide. This request is for renewal and revision of the currently approved information collection. The revision consists of adding back in the trip expenditure survey for fishing trips targeting highly migratory species that was included in the 2014 approval. |
