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.

Statement of Material Change, Merger, Acquisition, or Divestiture of a Registered Party
Key Information
Abstract
The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) §§ 122.4 and 129.8 require registrants to notify the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls of the Department of State in the event of a change in registration information, in the event a foreign person or entity acquires a registered entity, or if the registrant is a party to a merger, acquisition, or divestiture (MAD) of an entity producing or marketing ITAR-controlled items. Based on certain conditions enunciated in the ITAR, respondents must notify DDTC of these changes at differing intervals – no less than 60 days prior to the event and/or within 5 days of its culmination. This information is necessary for DDTC to ensure registration records are accurate and to determine whether the transaction is in compliance with the regulations (e.g. with respect to ITAR § 126.1); assess the steps that need to be taken with respect to existing authorizations (e.g. transfers of licenses); and to evaluate the implications for US national security and foreign policy. This information collection is estimated to take an average of 2 hours to execute, and DDTC expects to receive approximately 1,700 responses per year; therefore, the total burden for this collection will be 3,400 hours per year. |

This information collection is required to receive a benefit and is submitted to the FAA on occasion. Persons requesting to obtain an initial air agency certificate to operate as a repair station or changes to an existing repair station (air agency) certificate do so by submitting the request in a format acceptable to the FAA. In order to remain consistent and provide ease of application, the FAA designed and made available to the public the FAA Form 8310-3 Application for Repair Station Certificate and/or Rating. The FAA finds this form as an acceptable means of making application to obtain a repair station certificate or to initiate changes to an existing repair station certificate. This form is available to the applicant/respondent via www.faa.gov, email, in person, or by mail. Once the FAA reviews the submitted application and finds by review and inspection that the applicant meets the requirements of 14 CFR part 145 for certification, an air agency certificate and ratings is issued to the applicant. The FAA retains a copy of the application in the FAA office that issued the certificate for an indefinite time or a time-period mandated by the Federal Records Act of 1950, as amended.. The applicant is not required to retain a copy of the form. The FAA does not provide other persons or entities with information contained in the form. |

NESHAP for Polyether Polyols Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPP) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The NESHAP for Polyether Polyols Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart PPP) were proposed on September 4, 1997; promulgated on June 1, 1999; and amended on March 27, 2014. These regulations apply to both new and existing facilities that engage in the manufacture of polyether polyols (including polyether mono-ols) and emit hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Owners or operators of polyether polyols production facilities to which this regulation applies must either choose one of the compliance options described in the rule or install and monitor a specific control system that reduces HAP emissions to the compliance level. Respondents are also subject to sections of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A. 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 PPP. 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. |

TSCA Existing Chemical Risk Evaluation and Management - Generic ICR for Surveys (New)
Key Information
Abstract
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 subpopulations, 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 timeframes (set forth in section 6). Therefore, EPA is seeking approval for a generic information collection request (ICR) to conduct surveys 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 subpopulations) related to information collection for TSCA chemical risk evaluation and risk management. Surveys are defined as the collection of information from a common group through interviews or the application of questionnaires to a representative sample of that group. 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. By learning more about the conditions of use, hazards, exposures, potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations, 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. |

NESHAP for Engine Test Cells/Stands (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPP) (Final Rule)
Key Information
Abstract
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Engine Test Cells/Stands (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPP) apply to any existing, new, or reconstructed engine test cells/stands located at major source facilities that are used for testing internal combustion engines. An engine test cell/stand is defined as any apparatus used for testing uninstalled stationary or uninstalled mobile (motive) engines. A plant site is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions if it emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 10 tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year or any combination of HAPs at a rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per year. New and reconstructed facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after May 14, 2002 (the date the NESHAP was proposed). In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPP and must be maintained for at least 5 years from the date on which it was generated. Currently, the NESHAP also requires owners/operators to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction (SSM) in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. However, the EPA is finalizing amendments to the rule that eliminate the SSM exemption; remove the SSM plan and SSM recordkeeping requirements; and require electronic submittal of performance test results. |
