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.

| 202210-1545-010 | Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction (Form 7205) | TREAS/IRS | 2022-11-30 | 2026-02-28 | Revision of a currently approved collection
Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction (Form 7205)
Key Information
Abstract
Form 7205 (December 2022) is being created to allow taxpayers who own or lease a commercial building to claim under section 179D a deduction for a portion of the cost of installing energy-efficient commercial building property. Form 7205 consolidates deductions from other IRS forms and schedules; and provides information to support the deduction claimed. This form helps taxpayers understand how to calculate the deduction and increase taxpayer compliance. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (P.L. 116-260), section 102(a), made the IRC section 179D deduction permanent. Notice 2008-40 clarifies and amplifies Notice 2006–52, 2006–1 C.B. 1175. Notice 2006–52 provides a process that allows a taxpayer who owns a commercial building and installs property as part of the commercial building’s interior lighting systems, heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water systems, or building envelope to obtain a certification that the property satisfies the energy efficiency requirements of § 179D(c)(1) and (d) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Notice 2006–52 also provides for a public list of software programs that may be used in calculating energy and power consumption for purposes of § 179D, and allows software developers to be added to the list. Taxpayers are required by section 179D (statute) to certify each project for which they claim the 179D deduction. The IRS has not added to that burden in Notice 2008-40 but simply provided guidance on how to complete the certification process required by the statute. |

DCIA Aging and Compliance Data Requirements for Guaranty Agencies
Key Information
Abstract
The Department of Education (the Department) is requesting an extension of the currently approved Guaranty Agencies (GA) reporting requirements for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval. The reporting requirements include minor edits together with updated GA and FSA contacts. The Department is required to report to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) the status and condition of its non-tax debt portfolio in accordance with the requirements of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) and the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA Act). Receivable information is reported to Treasury via the Treasury Report on Receivables and Debt Collection Activities (previously called the TROR). The Department is unable to prepare an accurate and compliant Treasury Report based on the data it currently receives from its GAs. The continuing guidance requires the GAs to age debt according to DCIA; report the eligibility of DCIA-aged debt for referral to the Treasury Offset Program (TOP); and report compliance with Form 1099-C reporting. The updated document is titled DCIA Aging and Compliance Data Requirements for Guaranty Agencies (the Requirements). The Department plans to issue the Requirements to the GAs in Fiscal Year 2023. The data requirements for GA’s are not changing. The updated document includes minor edits together with updated GA and FSA contacts. |

Bridge Safety Standards
Key Information
Abstract
The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) (Pub. L. 114–94, Dec. 4, 2015), Section 11405, “Bridge Inspection Reports,” provides a means for a State or a political subdivision of a State to obtain a public version of a bridge inspection report generated by a railroad for a bridge located within its respective jurisdiction. FRA developed a form titled “Bridge Inspection Report Public Version Request Form” (FRA F 6180.167) to facilitate such requests by States and their political subdivisions. Additionally, the collection of information set forth under 49 CFR part 237 normalized and established Federal requirements for railroad bridges. In particular, the collection of information is used by FRA to confirm that railroads/track owners adopt and implement bridge management programs to properly inspect, maintain, modify, and repair all bridges that carry trains for which they are responsible. Further, the collection of information set forth under 49 CFR 214.105(c) establishes standards and practices for safety net systems. The burden associated with § 214.105(c), formerly covered under OMB Control No. 2130-0535, is now combined with the burden under OMB Control No. 2130-0586. |

Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
This information collection (IC) request is for a three-year extension without change of a currently approved information collection under OMB control number 2132-0550 “Bus Testing Program.” There has been no change in the respondent universe or burden hours; nor have there been any programmatic or statutory changes since OMB granted the last PRA approval in 2019. The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as no federal funds may be obligated or expended for the acquisition of a new transit bus vehicle unless the bus has met the requirements of FTA's Bus Testing Program. The entities responding to this information collection are transit bus manufactures. The respondents submit bus testing requests to FTA on occasion as new bus models are introduced or there are major changes to an existing bus model previously tested. The information is submitted online via FTA’s bus testing portal. The information submitted to the Altoona Bus Testing facility and FTA’s Bus Testing Manager includes; the bus model, manufacturer information, vehicle details, evidence of manufacturer/vehicle compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, overview of major changes to the vehicle (if applicable), etc. Although there has been no changes to the program, the updated information collection does reflect the increase in cost to the respondents and the federal government as a result of current labor rates for both groups. |
