Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
ICR Definition
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.

NESHAP for Gold Mine Ore Processing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEEEEE) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Gold Mine Ore Processing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEEEEE) were proposed on April 28, 2010; and promulgated on February 17, 2011. These regulations apply to both existing and new gold mine ore processing and production facilities that are area sources and use ore pretreatment, carbon processes with mercury retorts, carbon processes without mercury retorts, and non-carbon concentrate processes. The regulation sets mercury emission limits for each of the affected processes at both new and existing facilities. New facilities include those that either commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEEEEEE. 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. |

Injurious Wildlife; Importation Certification for Live Fish and Fish Eggs (50 CFR 16.13)
Key Information
Abstract
This information collection is necessary to assure the safety of our commercial and natural aquatic resources against the introduction into the United States of injurious fish species or their eggs, while still allowing for importation of those species and eggs if deemed safe and appropriate. Information gathered via forms authorized under this collection are used by the aquaculture industry and the commercial and recreational fishing industry. The importation of salmonid without documentation of their health status poses an immediate risk to the wild fish populations in the United States. Salmonid fish containing the pathogens listed in statute pose an immediate threat to wild fish populations and therefore are considered injurious under the Lacey Act. Commerce in healthy fish is essential for the aquaculture and fishing industry in the United States. Without salmonid imports the aquaculture industry in the United States would suffer, as would scientific research and conservation efforts at research institutions and within State, Federal and Tribal agencies. |

Motor Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Economy Compliance (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
EPA sets exhaust, evaporative, and greenhouse gas emissions standards for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) and light-duty trucks (LDTs) based on the authority granted to the Agency by the Clean Air Act (CAA). In addition, light-duty vehicle manufacturers use the results from the exhaust emission tests to calculate vehicle fuel economy. The fuel economy results are used to calculate fuel economy label values according to EPA regulations. EPA regulations define test procedures, in-use testing requirements, calculation methods, vehicle labeling, and reporting requirements for light-duty vehicle manufacturers. This ICR is organized into six information collections (ICs): 1) Fuel Economy; 2) Manufacturers In-Use Verification Program; 3) Light-Duty Vehicles and Light-Duty Trucks Emissions; 4) Defect Reports and Voluntary Emissions Recall Reports; 5) Fuel Economy Labeling; and, 6) Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission Standards. Previous ICRs in the 0783 ICR series included the on-highway motorcycle certification and compliance program. Starting with this renewal of ICR 0783 the on-highway motorcycle IC was transferred on 5/19/2017 under a separate ICR (ICR 2535.02, OMB 2060-0710). This ICR covers the application submitted by light-duty vehicle manufacturers prior to production as well as various reports and information submitted during and after production. Processing and review of this information is conducted by the Light-Duty Vehicle Center, Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation US EPA. |

NESHAP for Boat Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart VVVV) (Final Rule)
Key Information
Abstract
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Boat Manufacturing were proposed on July 14, 2000, promulgated on August 22, 2001, and amended on October 3, 2001. These regulations apply to both existing and new boat manufacturing facilities that are a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. This regulation covers resin and gel coat operations at fiberglass boat manufacturers, paint and coating operations at aluminum boat manufacturers, and carpet and fabric adhesive operations at all boat manufacturers. Air toxics are released during application and curing from the resins, gel coats, adhesives, coating, and solvents used in boat manufacturing. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after May 17, 2019, the date of proposal for this action. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart VVVV. As part of the residual risk and technology review (RTR) for the Boat Manufacturing NESHAP, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing that no revisions are needed to the existing emission limit requirements. The EPA is finalizing revisions to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of the rule and finalizing the use of electronic data reporting for future performance test data submittals, notifications, and reports. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. Owners/operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any failures to meet applicable standards. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. |

United States Merchant Marine Academy Alumni Survey
Key Information
Abstract
The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) is an accredited federal services academy that confers BS and MS degrees. The USMMA will conduct an annual voluntary survey of its immediate, five-year and ten-year alumni, consisting of approximately 600 individuals each year. The survey will be administered by the Academic Division of the Academy under the supervision of the Office of Institutional Assessment. The information gathered will be analyzed and used to measure success in meeting institutional and academic program goals and improvement of administrative and educational services provided to students. The survey consists of four categories: 1) Employment which includes employment status, time to obtain employment, type of employment and position, and salary with results used to ensure job placement of graduates within the maritime industry; 2) Education and Institutional Assessment which surveys the Academy’s overall academic program in preparing its graduates for employment with results used to modify institutional learning goals and/or Academic Division Goals to better prepare students for employment in the maritime industry and other administrative areas which are used to improve student support services; 3) Departmental Assessment which surveys specific department and course learning goals with results used to modify or improve the curriculum; and 4) Program Assessment which surveys the quality of the program in preparing students for the U.S. Coast license exam and whether the programs itself along with its particular components contains the requisite courses to best prepare graduates for today’s workforce in a domestic and international environment. Summary of findings will serve as supporting evidence to inform senior leadership in decision-making in terms of the curriculum and allocation of resources and most importantly in meeting the criteria established by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) by demonstrating continuous improvement in assessment and strategic planning efforts to meet the Academy’s mission statement.
