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.

If the information is not collected, HRSA will not be in compliance with 45 CFR 75 Subpart F and will limit HRSA’s ability to monitor the Federal programs. In addition, HRSA’s ability to conduct delinquent audit follow-up on appropriate entities will be jeopardized if we cannot verify who has submitted their audit. There would be a harm to the public if this collection is not approved because HRSA would be delayed in following 45 CFR 75 Subpart F and recovering federal funds not utilized in accordance with the Provider Relief Program Terms and Conditions. |

Application for Basic Permit under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes27 USC 203 & 204 (View Law) AbstractSection 103 of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act, 27 U.S.C. 203) requires that a person must apply to the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary) for a "basic permit" before beginning business as: (1) An importer into the United States of distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages; (2) a producer of distilled spirits or wine; or (3) a wholesaler of distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages. In addition, section 104 of the FAA Act (27 U.S.C. 204) prescribes who is and who is not entitled to a basic permit, and it authorizes the Secretary to prescribe the manner and form of, and the information required for, basic permit applications. Under those FAA Act authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 1, subpart C, require that new applications for FAA Act basic permits be made on form TTB F 5100.24. The collection information enables TTB to determine the location of the business, its ownership or control, the extent of its operations, and if the applicant is qualified under the FAA Act to receive a new basic permit. Basic permit qualifications help ensure that alcohol beverage industry members are likely to operate their businesses in conformity with Federal laws and regulations related to the labeling, advertising and marketing of alcohol beverage products, as well as those related to alcohol excise tax liability and payment. |

Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes26 USC 5051, 5415, and 7652 (View Law) AbstractThe Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5415 requires that all brewers furnish reports of operations and transactions in the manner, at the times, and for such periods as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under that authority, the TTB regulations require brewers to file monthly operations reports using TTB F 5130.9, Brewer's Report of Operations, if they anticipate an annual Federal excise tax liability of $50,000 or more for beer in a given calendar year. For brewers that anticipate a liability of less than $50,000 for such taxes in a given year and that had such liability the previous year, the TTB regulations require such brewers to file quarterly operations reports using TTB F 5130.9 or the simplified TTB F 5130.26, Quarterly Brewer's Report of Operations. The information collected from brewers on their operations reports regarding the amount of beer they produce, receive, return, remove, transfer, destroy, or otherwise gain or dispose of is necessary to protect the revenue and ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements. |

Application for Operating Permit Under 26 U.S.C. 5171(d)
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes26 USC 5171 and 5172 (View Law) AbstractAs required by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5171 and 5172, persons who intend to distill, warehouse, or bottle or package distilled spirits for industrial use, who intend to denature spirits, who intend to manufacture articles using distilled spirits, or who intend warehouse bulk spirits for non-industrial use without bottling are required to obtain an operating permit before beginning such activities, under such regulations as the Secretary prescribes. As authorized by those IRC provisions, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR Part 19, Distilled Spirits Plants, require such persons to apply for an operating permit using form TTB F 5110.25, Application for Operating Permit Under 26 U.S.C. 5171(d). The form and its supporting documents identify the applicant and their business, its organization, and the persons with a significant interest in the business, as well as the location of the distilled spirits plant (DSP) and its proposed operations. In addition, proprietors must apply for a new or amended operating permit using that form when certain changes occur to the DSP, including changes in its location, control, ownership, or operations. This collection information allows TTB to determine if an operating permit applicant is qualified under chapter 51 of the IRC to engage in certain distilled spirits-related production, processing, or warehousing activities. This determination ensures that such applicants are likely to operate in conformity with Federal laws and regulations, and it assists in limiting the illicit manufacture and sale of non-taxpaid distilled spirits or the diversion of industrial distilled spirits to taxable beverage use. |

Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 41 require importers of tobacco products and importers of processed tobacco to submit a monthly report on TTB F 5220.6 to account for such products on hand, and that received, removed, and released from customs custody. The required information allows TTB to determine the amount and disposition of tobacco products and processed tobacco imported into the United States. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue, detect diversion of tobacco products and processed tobacco, which is not subject to excise tax, into the illegal market, and ensure that importers of those products are operating in accordance with statutory and regulatory requirements. |

Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes27 USC 204(c) (View Law) 26 USC 6061 (View Law) AbstractThe Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 6061 provides that any return, statement, or other document submitted under the IRC’s provisions must be signed in accordance with the forms or regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary). Also, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 204(c) authorizes the Secretary to prescribe the manner and form of applications for basic permits issued under the Act. Under those authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations require individuals signing documents and forms filed with TTB on behalf of an applicant or principal to have specific authority to do so. As such, applicants and principals use form TTB F 5000.8, Power of Attorney, to delegate such authority to a designated individual and to report that delegation to TTB. Many documents and forms submitted to TTB are legally binding and have penalties for omissions or falsification, and TTB uses the collected information to determine who legally represents an applicant or permittee doing business with the agency. |
Why They Are Important
ICRs play a vital role in ensuring transparency and accountability in federal data collection. When federal agencies collect information from 10 or more "persons" (which includes individuals,
businesses, and state, local, and tribal governments), they must submit an ICR to ensure that it fulfills their statutory missions, avoids unnecessary or duplicative requests, and
minimizes burden on the American public. Additionally, Federal Register Notices (FRNs) and the opportunity for public comments provide a formal way for the public to be informed of
proposed ICRs and participate in the process.
ICRs also serve as a key resource for tracking changes to federal data collections. The availability of detailed documentation, such as data collection instruments and methodologies,
allows the general public to identify revisions in a timely manner. These may include revisions prompted by Executive Orders or statistical policies like
OMB's Statistical Policy Directive No. 15 (SPD 15), which are often submitted as "nonsubstantive" or "nonmaterial" changes to a
currently approved collection.[1] Furthermore, ICRs can help determine if a data collection has expired without renewal or has been intentionally
discontinued. By reviewing ICRs, the public can better understand what data is being collected, how it evolves over time, and whether data collections have become inactive–often in response
to shifting priorities and updated standards.
How To Use The Tool
The ICR tracking tool offers a user-friendly view of ICRs that have been recently submitted, reviewed, or are nearing expiration. By aggregating key data from individual ICRs,
the tool allows users to view the current status of each request, including submission, conclusion, and expiration dates, details on whether any changes were made, authorizing statutes,
and more. Users can search for specific information and filter results based on various criteria. If seeking additional information, various text fields are hyperlinked to the full ICR
on RegInfo.gov and associated resources. The tool is updated on a daily basis to reflect the most current information available.
