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

Application for Foreign Trade Zone Admission and Status Designation
Key Information
Abstract
This collection is used by business firms which bring merchandise into a foreign trade zone, to register the admission of such merchandise to zones and to apply for the appropriate zone status. Foreign trade zones (FTZs) are geographical enclaves located within the geographical limits of the United States but for tariff purposes are considered to be outside the United States. Imported merchandise may be brought into FTZs for storage, manipulation, manufacture, or other processing and subsequent removal for exportation, consumption in the United States, or destruction. A company bringing goods into an FTZ has a choice of zone status (privileged/non-privileged foreign, domestic, or zone-restricted), which affects the way such goods are treated by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and treated for tariff purposes upon entry into the customs territory of the United States. |

Notice to Student or Exchange Visitor
Key Information
Abstract
CBP initiates the Form I-515A receipt or notice to allow an academic nonimmigrant student (F-1), vocational nonimmigrant student (M-1), exchange visitor (J-1), or dependent (F-2, M-2 or J-2) who is without proper documentation to enter the United States temporarily for a 30-day period. To extend the authorized duration of the visit, the F, J or M nonimmigrant must obtain the required documents and, along with the Form I-515A, submit them to the SEVP office within 30-days of entry. This change removes references to “original documents” and “sign in BLUE ink”; replaces mailing address with email address to submit documents electronically; and adds the full titles of Form I-20 and Form DS-2019 for accuracy. The Form I-515A serves as a receipt to an F, M or J nonimmigrant who has been granted 30-day admission to the United States until they submit requested documents to prove eligibility for “duration of status” admission. The revised form clarifies that electronically signed Forms I-20 and DS-2019 are acceptable following the Dec. 12. 2022, Department of Homeland Security’s Interim Final Rule (IFR), “Removal of Obsolete Procedures and Requirements Related to F, J, and M Nonimmigrants,” and Department of State’s March 28, 2023, IFR, “Exchange Visitor Program—Interim Provisions.” |

Consolidation of Certain Reporting and Recordkeeping under Section 8 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
This consolidated ICR involves reporting and recordkeeping activities established under TSCA section 8 for chemical substances. Although imposed for a specific chemical substance, the activities are already established and only vary based on the specific authority under TSCA section 8 and the need for the information for that chemical. EPA is consolidating these ICRs to streamline the presentation of the paperwork burden estimates for these various activities, which will in turn facilitate and reduce the administrative burden for both the public reviewers and the Agency in terms of reviewing and updating the ICR every three (3) years as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., as well as allow for a better assessment of the paperwork burden and costs associated with reporting and recordkeeping activities established under TSCA section 8 for specific chemical substances. This information collection request (ICR) covers reporting and recordkeeping requirements imposed under the authorities in section 8 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2607, for persons who manufacture (the term manufacture includes import under TSCA)(Attachment 1) or process chemical substances, mixtures, or categories, or distribute them in commerce. The purpose of the information collection activities is to collect data that will help the Agency evaluate the potential for human health and environmental risks that may be caused by the manufacture, processing, and distribution in commerce of chemical substances, mixtures, or categories. This ICR addresses the following four (4) types of information collections (ICs) required by TSCA section 8 and identifies the persons required to keep records and report such information. The ICs are numbered to facilitate the presentation in the ICR and link to supporting information; and the numbering is not otherwise intended to convey any sequencing or prioritization. |

EPA's ENERGY STAR Product Labeling (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
ENERGY STAR is a voluntary program developed in collaboration with industry to create a self-sustaining market for energy efficient products. The ENERGY STAR label is a registered certification label that helps consumers identify products that meet ENERGY STAR energy performance criteria. To protect the integrity of the label, EPA works to ensure that products carrying the label meet appropriate program requirements. EPA sets criteria for ENERGY STAR products and facilitates the sale of certified products by providing consumers with information about the products. To set criteria for efficient products, EPA analyzes data on the performance of products and works with stakeholders to set criteria based on established processes. EPA partners with retailers, energy efficiency program sponsors (EEPS), service providers and product brand owners who wish to use the ENERGY STAR label to differentiate products as more energy efficient. Partners sign Partnership Agreements that require adherence to logo-use guidelines and program requirements, as well as promotion of ENERGY STAR certified products through product offerings. To have products third-party certified as ENERGY STAR, product brand owner partners are required to have eligible products tested in an EPA-recognized laboratory and certified by an EPA-recognized third-party certification body (CB). EPA maintains an XML-based automated data exchange for CBs to share information with EPA on certified products. To monitor the ongoing performance of products and maintain program integrity, EPA also requires CBs to conduct post-market verification testing of a sampling of ENERGY STAR certified products and share information with EPA on products verified twice a year. For thermostats, there are additional reporting requirements to verify product performance. To monitor progress and support the best allocation of resources, EPA requires partners to submit data on annual shipments of and installations and incentives for ENERGY STAR certified products. Finally, for any ENERGY STAR recognition, EPA may ask Partners to submit applications if they wish to participate. |

Distribution of Offsite Consequence Analysis Information under Section 112(r)(7)(H) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), As Amended (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
The Clean Air Act Section 112(r)(7) requires EPA to promulgate reasonable regulations and appropriate guidance to provide for the prevention and detection of accidental releases and for responses to such releases. The regulations include requirements for submitting a risk management plan (RMP) to EPA. The RMP includes information on off-site consequence analysis (OCA) as well as other elements of the Risk Management Program. On August 5, 1999, the President signed the Chemical Safety Information, Site Security, and Fuels Regulatory Relief Act (CSISSFRRA), which required the President to promulgate regulations on the distribution of OCA information (CAA section 112(r)(7)(H)(ii)) to the public. The President delegated to EPA and the Department of Justice (DOJ) the responsibility to promulgate regulations to govern public dissemination of OCA information. The final rule was published on August 8, 2000 (65 FR 48108) and imposed minimal information collection and record keeping requirements. The Federal government established 55 reading rooms at Federal facilities geographically distributed across the United States and its territories. At a reading room the public can read, but not mechanically copy or remove, paper copies of OCA information for up to 10 stationary sources per calendar month. The public also has access to OCA information that the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) in the requestor’s local area (where the individual lives or works), is authorized to provide. State agencies are permitted to provide the same public access to paper copies of OCA information that a person would receive at their local agency. EPA also established a Vulnerable Zone Indicator System (VZIS) which indicates whether an address in any state is within the vulnerable zone of one or more stationary sources, according to the data reported in RMPs. The VZIS is available on the internet, which is the method used by all requestors of the data. |

Inclusions to the Section 232 National Security Adjustments to Imports
Key Information
Abstract
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1862) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to conduct comprehensive investigations to determine the effects of imports of an article on the national security of the United States. Such investigations can be initiated by an application by an interested party, a request from the head of any department or agency, or self-initiated by the Secretary. Once an investigation is initiated, the Secretary submits a report to the President on whether the importation of the article in question is occurring in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States. The President then determines whether it is necessary to take action to adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. Several Proclamations have directed the Secretary to create a process for including additional derivative articles within the scope of the new and existing ad valorem tariffs established under Section 232.. These Proclamations broadly authorize the Secretary to include additional derivative articles within the scope of the tariffs unilaterally, or at the request of a producer (or an industry association representing one or more such producers) of such articles or derivative articles within the United States after establishing that imports of said derivative article have increased in a manner that threatens to impair the national security of the United States or otherwise undermine the objectives set forth in the investigations under Section 232 or their associated Presidential Proclamations. |
