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.

Post-Contract Award Information
Key Information
Abstract
Information requested of contractors is specific to each contract and is required for Treasury to properly evaluate the progress made and/or management controls used by contractors providing supplies or services to the Government, and to determine contractors' compliance with the contracts, in order to protect the Government's interest.Emergency Justfication:The Department of the Treasury requests emergency processing under 5 CFR 1320.13 for two Information Collection Requests (ICRs) supporting the draft Acquisition Procedures Update (APU) 26-01, Mandatory Staffing Plan for All Small Business Preference Program Awards and Solicitations. Treasury seeks approval by November 4, 2025 to enable immediate collection of contractor workforce data in response to urgent government-wide concerns regarding small-business subcontracting compliance and transparency in contract performance. Recent government-wide investigations by the Small Business Administration Office of Inspector General (SBA OIG) and the Government Accountability Office, coupled with widespread media coverage of a Treasury contractor subcontracting scandal, have exposed systemic risks of improper pass-through contracting and noncompliance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, across the federal acquisition landscape. The absence of standardized, data-driven reporting on prime versus subcontractor labor utilization has been identified as a vulnerability throughout government. Treasury’s draft acquisition policy introduces two standardized deliverables—the Staffing Plan (pre-award) and Monthly Workforce Report (post-award)—to increase visibility, strengthen internal surveillance, and reinforce public trust through proactive corrective measures. Delaying implementation until completion of normal Paperwork Reduction Act clearance procedures would undermine these efforts and perpetuate risk during active oversight investigations. Treasury’s ability to document and monitor contractor performance in real time is essential to ensuring that small-business set-aside awards meet self-performance requirements and maintain program integrity. The requested emergency clearance will allow Treasury to pilot and refine the collection methodology, gather baseline data, and support interagency coordination with SBA and OMB to inform a permanent, government-wide solution. The information collection involves minimal burden and privacy risk. Contractors will report aggregated staffing data using secure, standardized templates that rely on information already maintained in existing HR or timekeeping systems. No Social Security Numbers or dates of birth are collected, and all submissions are encrypted, marked CUI//SP-PRVCY, and transmitted only to authorized acquisition officials. Treasury respectfully requests OIRA’s expedited six-month approval under 5 CFR 1320.13(c), with waiver of the Federal Register notice, to enable immediate implementation and support the Department’s leadership in restoring accountability and transparency across the federal small-business contracting community. |

Registration for Classification as a Refugee
Key Information
Abstract
The Form I-590 is the primary document in all refugee case files and becomes part of the applicant's A-file. It is the application form by which a person seeks refugee classification and resettlement in the United States. It documents an applicant's legal testimony (under oath) as to his or her identity and claim to refugee status, as well as other pertinent information including marital status, number of children, military service, organizational memberships, and violations of law. In addition to being the application form submitted by a person seeking refugee classification, Form I-590 is used to document that an applicant was interviewed by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and record the decision by the USCIS Officer to approve or deny the applicant for classification as a refugee. Regardless of age, each person included in the case must have his or her own Form I-590. Refugees applying to CBP for admission must have a stamped I-590 in their travel packet in order to gain admission as a refugee. They do not have refugee status until they are admitted by CBP. |

14CFR Part 249 Preservation of Records
Key Information
Abstract
Part 249 applies to all certificated air carriers, public charter operators, and overseas military personnel charter operators. This part requires the retention of general and subsidiary ledgers, journals and journal vouchers, voucher distribution registers, accounts receivable and payable journals and ledgers, subsidy records that document financial and statistical reports to the Department, funds reports, consumer records, sales reports, auditors’ and flight coupons, air waybills, etc. DOT needs to ensure the availability of financial and traffic data for reviews and audits to support: Carrier fitness Appraisals International negotiations of routes and services The Standard Industry Fare Level The Standard Foreign Fare and Rate Levels Consumer protection Community air service needs Air carrier and charter operator compliance to statutory regulations Airport development Forecasting Cost/benefit analysisEmergency Justfication:BTS’ general law division, which covers fiscal law issues, has been consulted for guidance. BTS is operating as usual. BTS is fully funded, does not rely upon appropriations, and has contract authority to obligate the agency. Therefore, it is not needed to show the information collection fits into an excepted activity; all our activities are currently operating normally. BTS was scheduled to submit the 30-day FR for the “Preservation of Air Carrier Records” ICR on October 15, 2025. Ordinarily, this would have been plenty of time for the notice to publish and for BTS to submit the renewal package to OMB prior to its October 31, 2025, expiration date. However, due to the OFR not accepting IC notices for publication during the government shutdown, BTS was unable to complete this step in the renewal process. ICR FR notices do not fall into the category of allowable publications at the OFR during a lapse in appropriations. If the ICR expires without an extension, BTS would be legally prohibited from processing any records for preservation, which means that audit and/or validation would not be relevant, and the submission would be impaired since the data could not be verified. This would have significant operational and industry-wide impacts. |

Recordkeeping and Disclosure Requirements Associated with Regulation H (Loans Secured by Real Estate Located in Flood Hazard Areas)
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
In general, the federal flood insurance statutes and Regulation H - Membership of State Banking Institutions in the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR Part 208) provide that a lender shall not make, increase, extend, or renew a loan secured by a building or mobile home located in a special flood hazard area unless the secured property is covered by flood insurance for the term of the loan. With respect to the recordkeeping and disclosure provisions, the regulation generally requires state member banks to retain certain flood hazard documentation and to notify borrowers and servicers regarding properties in flood hazard areas and requirements related to flood insurance. State member banks also must notify the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) of the identity of, and any change in, the servicer of a loan secured by improved property in a special flood hazard area. The information collection requirements under the flood hazard provisions of Regulation H are triggered by specific events in the lending process. |

Pub.L. 107 - 87 115 Stat.. 833 (View Law) Pub.L. 104 - 88 100 Stat. 803 (View Law) Abstract
The information collection is mandatory reporting requirements and consists of 3 information collection instruments. IC-1, Form MCS-150, Motor Carrier Identification Report is filed by all motor carriers conducting operations in interstate or international commerce before beginning operations. It is also used by motor carriers needing to update previously submitted information, and on a biennial update basis. IC-2, Form MCS-150B, Combined Motor Carrier Identification and HM Permit Application is filed by interstate motor carriers that transport the permitted hazardous materials. It is also used by motor carriers needing to update previously submitted information, and on a biennial update basis. IC-3, Form MCS-150C, Intermodal Equipment Provider Identification Report is filed by IEPs that interchange intermodal equipment with a motor carrier or have contractual responsibility for the maintenance of the intermodal equipment. FMCSA uses the information to identify its regulated entities, to help prioritize the Agency’s enforcement activities, to aid in assessing the safety outcomes of those activities, and for statistical purposes. This information collection supports the agency’s strategic goal of safety by establishing and monitoring safe operating requirements for motor carriers, commercial motor vehicle drivers, vehicles, and vehicle equipment.Emergency Justfication:FMCSA’s general law division, which covers fiscal law issues, has been consulted for guidance. FMCSA is operating as usual. FMCSA is fully funded, does not rely upon appropriations, and has contract authority to obligate the agency. Therefore, it is not needed to show the information collection fits into an excepted activity; all our activities are currently operating normally. FMCSA was scheduled to submit the 30-day FR for the “Motor Carrier Identification Report” ICR on October 2, 2025. Ordinarily, this would have been plenty of time for the notice to publish and for FMCSA to submit the renewal package to OIRA prior to its October 31, 2025 expiration date. However, due to the OFR not accepting IC notices for publication during the government shutdown, FMCSA was unable to complete this step in the renewal process. ICR FR notices do not fall into the category of allowable publications at the OFR during a lapse in appropriations. If the ICR expires without an extension, FMCSA would be legally prohibited from accepting or processing MCS-150, MCS-150B, or MCS-150C submissions, which means that registrants/potential registrants would be unable to comply with regulatory requirements covering the following activities: • Some new USDOT Number registrations • Required biennial updates • Reactivations of USDOT Numbers • Changes to company information (ownership, address, operation type, etc.) This would have significant operational and industry-wide impacts, potentially leaving carriers unable to update or maintain their registration status. Without the ability to file MCS-150 updates, some carriers could be rendered unable to operate legally and may face enforcement or roadside out-of-service conditions. FMCSA asks that OIRA please extend the expiration date of this ICR either on a monthly basis until the shutdown ends, or grant the extension for up to 90-days. |

The CFPBs Regulation V and the Board’s Regulation V (collectively FR V Regulations) implement in part the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which was enacted in 1970 based on a Congressional finding that the banking system is dependent on fair and accurate credit reporting. The FCRA was enacted to ensure consumer reporting agencies exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer’s right to privacy. The FCRA requires consumer reporting agencies to adopt reasonable procedures that are fair and equitable to the consumer with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of consumer information. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), enacted in 2010, transferred to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) most, but not all, of the rulemaking authority for issuing regulations under the FCRA. The Board and other federal agencies retained rulemaking responsibility for the FCRA provisions regarding identity theft prevention programs and the duties of card issuers to validate consumers’ changes of address (hereinafter, identity theft red flags), as well as the disposal of consumer information, with respect to the entities that are subject to each agency’s respective enforcement authority. The Board and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also retained rulemaking authority for certain provisions of the FCRA applicable to motor vehicle dealers. The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) classifies reporting, recordkeeping, or disclosure requirements of a regulation as an information collection. The Board continues to be responsible for renewing every three years the information collection requirements contained in the CFPB’s Regulation V for institutions with $10 billion or less in assets that are identified in 15 U.S.C. § 1681s(b)(1)(A)(ii) and for consumers of these institutions, as well as for the identity theft red flags provisions in the Board’s Regulation V for institutions of any size that are identified in 15 U.S.C. § 1681s(b)(1)(A)(ii). |

Public Transportation Safety Certification Training Program (PTSCTP)
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
This is a revision of a currently approved information collection entitled “Public Transportation Safety Certification Training Program” (PTSCTP) associated with a Final Rulemaking. OMB filed a comment on the NPRM on April 24, 2024. FTA did not receive any comments during the NPRM related to the collection of information, burden cost and/or hours. Therefore, there are no changes to the respondents, responses or annual burden hours in this Final Rulemaking from what was previously submitted to OMB during the NPRM phase. PTSCTP provides uniform training requirements for Federal and State personnel and contractors who conduct safety audits and examinations of transit systems and for transit agency personnel and contractors who are directly responsible for safety oversight. The program respondents are Rail Transit Agencies (RTAs) and State Safety Oversight Agencies (SSOAs). They collect and forward training information to FTA on behalf of designated safety personnel. This is a mandatory collection of information to assure that compliance with the requirements is properly and earnestly undertaken by respondents who are directly responsible for safety oversight of our Nation’s public transportation systems. The PTSCTP Final Rulemaking are discretionary changes that refine the PTSCTP communication process, streamlines administrative requirements, and clarifies voluntary PTSCTP participation and refresher training requirements. The rule maintains the existing minimum training requirements for State Safety Oversight Agency (SSOA) personnel and Rail Transit Safety (RTA) personnel. These changes will ensure training requirements and curriculum for safety professionals in rail transit agencies are more responsive to changing industry needs. |

Key Information
Abstract
The Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) with Disabilities information collection contains one instrument that allows the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to provide individualized care to children identified as having a disability. The collection was last approved by OMB on June 11, 2025 and the current expiration date is June 30, 2028. ORR is proposing revisions to the Individualized Section 504 Service Plan (Form S-25). This plan is required by the Lucas R. Disabilities Settlement Agreement (Case No. 2:18-CV-05741 DMG PLA). The form is completed by care providers alongside a qualified assessment team who collaboratively develop an individualized plan for the child. In addition, care providers must continuously update this form to reflect any changes in the service plan and to provide updates on the progress of the home study and post-release services planning. |

Key Information
Abstract
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to perform UAC Bureau-related administrative activities, such as facilitating stakeholder visits to care provider facilities; obtaining consent from children to share their case file information; and processing requests and waivers for the hiring of key and non-key personnel at care provider facilities. This request is for revisions to five existing forms in this collection and to remove seven forms, which will be transferred under new Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control numbers (separate requests will be submitted for the new control numbers). Details about the changes are described in section A15 of Supporting Statement A. |

Vehicle Loan Interest
Key Information
Abstract
IRS Section 6050AA requires information reporting with respect to interest received on a specified passenger vehicle loan. Recipients of this interest are required to file an information return to the IRS and furnish a statement to individuals who pay or accrue the interest during a calendar year. The reporting requirements of section 6050AA allow the IRS to verify recipients’ compliance with the information reporting rules and to verify that individuals deduct the proper amount of interest on their tax return.Emergency Justfication:The Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are requesting a new OMB Control Number 1545-NEW, Vehicle Loan Interest Statement, under emergency procedures in connection with provisions of section 70203 of Public Law 119-21, 139 Stat. 72, 176 (July 4, 2025), commonly known as the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Section 163(h)(4) allows a deduction for qualified passenger vehicle loan interest. Section 6050AA requires information reporting with respect to interest received on a specified passenger vehicle loan. Recipients of this interest are required to file an information return to the IRS and furnish a statement to individuals who pay or accrue the interest during a calendar year. For interest received on a specified passenger vehicle loan in 2025, the information return must be filed on or before February 28, 2026 (March 31, 2026, if filed electronically), and the written statement must be furnished on or before January 31, 2026. Notice 2025-57 sets forth that the recipient of such interest will be deemed to have satisfied the reporting obligations under §6050AA for interest received on a specified passenger vehicle loan in 2025 if the recipient makes a statement available to the individual indicating the total amount of interest received in calendar year 2025 on a specified passenger vehicle loan. If the interest recipient satisfies this requirement, the IRS will not impose penalties under §§6721 and 6722 for a failure to file information returns and furnish payee statements under §6050AA with respect to interest received in 2025. The OBBBA was signed into law on July 4, 2025, and §163(h)(4), as amended, and new §6050AA apply to indebtedness incurred after December 31, 2024. Accordingly, recipients of interest have an immediate need for guidance about their information reporting obligations. The IRS needs to publish Notice 2025-57 as soon as possible, so that recipients of specified passenger vehicle loan interest can make the necessary changes to their systems to comply with their new reporting responsibilities under §6050AA for interest received in 2025. In addition, individuals need information on how much interest they paid or accrued in 2025 in order to claim the deduction allowable under §163(h)(4) on their individual income tax returns for taxable year 2025. Following normal Paperwork Reduction Act clearance procedures would thus result in harm to recipients of specified passenger vehicle loan interest who would be unable to timely make the necessary changes to their systems to comply with their new reporting responsibilities for interest received in 2025. Therefore, due to the extraordinary circumstances and statutory deadlines for implementing §6050AA, the Treasury and IRS request emergency processing of this information collection request by October 21, 2025 and approval for 180 days. Given the inability to seek public comment during such a short timeframe, IRS also respectfully requests a waiver from the requirement to publish a notice in the Federal Register seeking public comment during the period of Office of Management and Budget review. However, public comment will be solicited in conjunction with the subsequent extension of the approval to collect this information on the new Vehicle Loan Interest Statement which is being developed for this purpose in future years. The Treasury Department consulted with multiple stakeholder groups, including the National Automobile Dealers Association and the American Financial Services Association, in order to understand their operations so as to be able to minimize the burden of the collection of information. The Treasury Department also consulted with other interested agencies, including NHTSA, DOT, and IRS, in order to help streamline the process and make it easier for affected parties to comply with their reporting obligations. |

Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
The survey data are used to gather information to enable the Federal Reserve System (System) to carry out its policy and operational responsibilities. Under the guidance of the Board, Reserve Banks survey business contacts as economic developments warrant. Usually, these voluntary surveys are conducted by telephoning or e-mailing purchasing managers, economists, or other knowledgeable individuals at selected, relevant businesses. Reserve Banks may also use online survey tools to collect responses to the survey. The frequency and content of the questions, as well as the entities contacted, vary depending on developments in the economy. These surveys are conducted to provide Board members and Reserve Bank presidents real-time insights into economic conditions. The Board tailors these survey questions to match current concerns and interests, but they are not meant to supplant the more rigorous, existing economic reporting. The Board collects individual responses from the Reserve Banks and then distributes aggregate information to Board members and Reserve Bank presidents. |

The Board’s Regulation A - Extensions of Credit by Federal Reserve Banks (12 CFR Part 201) states that a Reserve Bank shall require any information it believes appropriate or desirable to ensure that each discount window borrower uses the credit provided in a manner consistent with Regulation A. Regulation A also requires that each Reserve Bank shall keep itself informed of the general character and amount of loans and investments of a depository institution. Balance sheet data are collected on the FR 2046 report from certain institutions that borrow from the discount window in order to monitor discount window borrowing. |
