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, or modify 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.
Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and July 19, 2025.

Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant
Key Information
Abstract
EECBG is a program, authorized by the Energy Independence and Security Act which provides Federal financial assistance and technical support to state and local governments and tribal nations to carry out activities designed to save energy, create and retain jobs, increase energy efficiency, and decrease harmful emissions. Many of the grant recipients are unfamiliar with the provisions surrounding the expenditure of Federal funds and the vast majority has not had a pre-existing professional relationship with DOE. The size and pace of EECBG Program execution create an urgent need for DOE to collect certain information on a quarterly basis in order to adequately monitor, report, and ensure transparency and accountability. |

Continuation of Supplemental Security Income Payments for the Temporarily Institutionalized – Certification of Period and Need to Maintain Home
Key Information
Abstract
SSA collects this information to determine if institutionalized SSI recipients will only be in the institution or medical facility for three months maximum, and if they still need SSI payments. To do this, the recipient, the recipient’s representative payee, or if the recipient does not have a representative payee, someone on their behalf typically calls SSA to provide the statement of need, and a signed physician’s certification is sent via mail. In addition, SSA employees upon finding out about a recipient entering an institution can contact the recipient or recipient’s representative payee to obtain the statement of need and a physician's certification. SSA accepts a certification or copy of a certification signed by the recipient’s physician, attesting to the period of confinement. SSA accepts a signed statement or a verbal confirmation from the recipient, or from the representative payee, acting on behalf of the recipient, about the need to maintain a home. In addition, SSA created an official form, the SSA-186, Temporary Institutionalization Statement to Maintain Household and Physician Certification, that collects the signature of the SSI recipient, provides the statement of need, and the physician’s signature providing the physician’s certification with the time period of confinement. The form asks the same questions that are on the SSI Claims System screens. The respondents are medical providers, and SSI recipients or their representative payees. |

SSA Health IT Partner Assessment - Participating Facilities and Available Content Form, SSA-680
Key Information
Abstract
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act promotes the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology (IT), particularly in the context of working with government agencies. Similarly, section 3004 of the Public Health Service Act requires health care providers or health insurance issuers with government contracts to implement, acquire, or upgrade their health IT systems and products to meet adopted standards and implementation specifications. To support expansion of SSA's health IT initiative as defined under HITECH, SSA developed Form SSA-680, the Health IT Partner Program Assessment – Participating Facilities and Available Content Form. The SSA 680 allows healthcare providers to provide the information SSA needs to determine their ability to exchange health information with us electronically. We evaluate potential partners (i.e., healthcare providers and organizations) on (1) the accessibility of health information they possess, and (2) the content value of their electronic health records' systems for our disability adjudication processes. SSA reviews the completeness of organizations' SSA-680 responses as one part of our careful analysis of their readiness to enter into a health IT partnership with us. The respondents are healthcare entities, healthcare providers, and HIEs who wish to engage in a Health IT partnership with SSA. |

| 202109-2060-008 | National Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings (40 CFR part 59, subpart E) (Renewal) | EPA/OAR | 2021-09-30 | Historical Active | Revision of a currently approved collection
National Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings (40 CFR part 59, subpart E) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) to regulate volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the use of consumer and commercial products. Pursuant to CAA section 183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products and a schedule for their regulation (60 FR 15264). Aerosol coatings are included on the list, and the standards for such coatings are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart E. The reports required under the standards enable EPA to identify coating formulations manufactured, imported or distributed in the United States, and to determine the product-weighted reactivity. The ICR addresses the burden for activities conducted in 3-year increments after promulgation of the national VOC emission standards for aerosol coatings. Regulated entities read instructions to determine how they are affected by the rule. They are required to submit initial notifications when an aerosol coating is manufactured and notification of changes in the initial report, to report formulation data and exemptions claimed, and to maintain records. In addition, regulated entities are required to submit triennial reports that include formulation data and VOC usage. |

License Requirements for Operation of a Launch Site
Key Information
Abstract
This information collection is mandatory for privatized space launch facilities or entities wishing to become a privatized space launch facility. This information collection requirement is intended to enable FAA/AST to incorporate acquired data into the license, which subsequently becomes binding on the site operator. FAA/AST issues a site operator license based on the site operator’s demonstration of the ability to ensure public safety and the safety of property, both on and off the site. Under the policy review and approval process, an applicant is required to submit information identifying foreign ownership of the launch site or reentry site enterprise. FAA/AST determines, before issuing a license, if issuance of such a license would jeopardize the foreign policy or national security interest of the United States. The Launch Site Location Review and Approval provision requires the applicant to conduct an analysis that objectively determines whether the location of a proposed launch or reentry site can support the launch or reentry of a suborbital launch vehicle or, at a minimum, one class of orbital launch vehicle on at least one trajectory. Finally, the applicant is required to submit an explosive site plan, which complies with established levels of risk calculations to acceptable exposure to destructive forces. In accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policies Act, 42 U.S.C. § 4321, et. seq., (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA, 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508, and the DOT’s Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts, DOT Order 5610.1C, applicants are required to submit environmental information concerning proposed new launch sites and launch vehicles that are not currently described in the environmental impact statements, as well as payloads that may have significant environmental impacts in the event of a launch or reentry accident. . |

Commercial Space Transportation Licensing Regulations
Key Information
Abstract
All entities wishing to obtain a license to conduct commercial space launch activities are mandated to report information to this collection. The information collected is used by AST to determine and verify the ability and competency of a launch license applicant to conduct a commercial space launch operation in a safe and efficient manner. Information is collected before and after the issuance of either a launch-specific license or a launch operator license. An applicant's license proposal is assessed in terms of significant policy issues affecting the national security, foreign policy interests, or international obligations of the United States. Information collected allows AST to make a preliminary assessment of a launch proposal prior to beginning general licensing application procedures. After favorable review by AST of an applicant’s proposal in terms of policy implications, the applicant must demonstrate that it can safely launch its vehicle with payload. To achieve this end, AST’s safety evaluation process requires an applicant to submit information, including a safety program plan, a launch safety design and operations document, and an accident investigation plan. Part 450 is replacing part 417 for license applications. However, part 417 will continue to be used by operators that had a license at the time part 450 was published. Therefore, no new licenses will be approved under part 417 but renewals and modifications are possible until 2025 under part 417. Further, in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policies Act, 42 U.S.C. § 4321, et. seq., (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA, 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508, and the DOT's Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts, (that is, DOT Order 5610.1C), applicants are required to submit environmental information to AST. This includes information concerning proposed new launch sites and launch vehicles not currently described in the environmental impact statements, as well as payloads that may have significant environmental impacts in the event of a launch accident. A licensee must satisfy pre-launch reporting requirements by providing launch specific information, including flight path data, payload design criteria, and mission specific launch waivers from federal sites or launch sites, not later than 60 days prior to the scheduled launch date. Each licensee is also required to register the name and mission of the payload with AST in accordance with Article IV of the 1975 Convention on Registration of Objects Launched Into Outer Space Treaty. |
