What is an ICR?

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.

When are they submitted?

Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, 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.

Where to find an ICR?

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.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration Alliance Program

Key Information

Abstract

OSHA's Alliance Program is a structure for working with groups that are committed to worker safety and health. The program enables OSHA to enter into a voluntary cooperative relationship with industry, labor and other groups to improve workplace safety and health, prevent workplace fatalities, injuries and illnesses, and to reach employers and workers that OSHA may not otherwise reach through traditional methods. OSHA collects information from organizations that are signatories to an Alliance agreement through meetings, informal conversations and data forms. OSHA will use the collected information to develop Alliance agreements, support Alliance activities and Alliance agreement objectives, and develop annual and program-wide reports.

Hospital Wage Index Occupational Mix Survey (CMS-10079)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 304 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 requires CMS to collect wage data on hospital employees by occupational category, at least once every 3 years, in order to construct an occupational mix adjustment to the wage index. CMS first collected occupational mix data in 2003 for the FY 2005 wage index and a subsequent collection of occupational mix data was performed in 2006 for the FY 2007 and FY 2008 wage index. In response to industry comments suggesting ways to improve the occupational mix survey, CMS has revised the 2007/2008 survey that was used to calculate the FY 2010 wage index. We are revising the 2007/2008 survey to collect for a 12- month period (that is, from pay periods ending between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010). The revised occupational mix survey will be used to adjust the FY 2013 wage index.

DHS Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP)

Key Information

Abstract

The Traveler Inquiry Form (TIF) is the form used to support the Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP), which will serve as a centralized intake office for traveler redress requests. After receipt, TRIP then passes the information to the relevant DHS component to process the request as appropriate (e.g., TRIP passes the form to TSA to initiate the Watch List Clearance Procedure). Individuals who feel that they have been unnecessarily subjected to additional screening, or denied or delayed boarding, or entry into or departure from the U.S. may complete the form. This form will be used by DHS to determine if there is an error in their record. This collection also serves to help DHS distinguish individuals from an actual individual on a watch list used by DHS, and it helps streamline and expedite future check-in or border crossing experiences.

Revenue Procedure 2025-XX provides guidance regarding a procedure for a State to voluntarily elect to participate under IRC section 25F.Emergency Justfication:The Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are requesting, under emergency procedures, a new OMB Control Number 1545-NEW in connection with implementing section 70411 of Public Law 119-21, 139 Stat. 72, 176 (July 4, 2025), commonly known as the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Section 70411 of the OBBBA enacted a new nonrefundable income tax credit (§ 25F credit) under 26 U.S.C. 25F allowable to a taxpayer for a qualified contribution made to a scholarship granting organization (SGO) in a covered state by an individual who is a U.S. citizen or resident under 26 U.S.C. 7701(a)(9). A “covered state” is defined as one of the 50 States or the District of Columbia (State), that, for a calendar year, voluntarily elects to participate under § 25 and provides a list that identifies SGOs in the State for the applicable calendar year. For an individual’s contribution to an SGO to be a qualified contribution eligible for a § 25F credit for a given calendar year, a State must thus voluntarily elect to participate under § 25F and have identified the SGO in accordance with § 25F(g). Section 25F(g)(1) provides that a State that voluntarily elects to participate under § 25F must provide a list of SGOs that meet the requirements described in § 25F(c)(5) and are located in the State by “January 1 of each calendar year (or, with respect to the first calendar year for which this section applies [i.e., 2027], as early as practicable).” The Treasury Department and the IRS have received several comments from States and other stakeholders from around the country regarding the urgency of allowing States to make Advance Elections to identify as a covered state in advance of submitting its SGO list. Specifically, commenters stated that Advance Elections as early as January 1, 2026 are critical to ensuring SGOs can be established and ready to operate by January 1, 2027; that SGOs need time to establish infrastructure and attract donors prior to January 1, 2027; and that potential SGOs need sufficient time to prepare for the commencement of this new tax credit in 2027 by organizing themselves to as valid SGOs, starting to solicit contributions to be received in early 2027, and developing processes to identify and award scholarships in accordance with § 25F. Any potential SGO would be unwilling to invest the necessary effort and cost in commencing these activities without first knowing that a State will be a covered state. Commenters asked that the period for a State to make an Advance Election begin January 1, 2026, to allow time necessary for States, SGOs, parents, students, and donors to prepare for the 2027 inaugural year. To respond to this immediate need of States and SGOs, Rev. Proc. 2025-XX provides procedures for States to make an “Advance Election” to participate under § 25F, beginning on January 1, 2026, which is critical for many States to identify as a covered state in advance of providing the State’s list of SGOs for 2027. Specifically, section 4 of Rev. Proc. 2025-XX allows States to make an Advance Election by submitting Form 15714 on or after January 1, 2026, in advance of the submission of the State’s SGO list for calendar year 2027. Form 15714 for calendar year 2027, and submission instructions, will be available before January 1, 2026, at www.irs.gov. The IRS needs to release Rev. Proc. 2025-XX and Form 15714 as soon as possible so that States have the option to make an Advance Election as early as January 1, 2026, for the benefit of all relevant stakeholders.

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) Ammonium Sulfate Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart PP) apply to ammonium sulfate dryers located at both existing and new ammonium sulfate manufacturing plants in the caprolactam by-product, synthetic, and coke oven by-products sectors of the ammonium sulfate manufacturing industry. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart PP. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS.

Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) Drug Acquisition Cost Survey (CMS-10931)

Key Information

Abstract

On April 18, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order (E.O.) 14273, “Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First.” Section 5 of the E.O., “Appropriately Accounting for Acquisition Costs of Drugs in Medicare,” directs the Secretary of HHS to publish in the Federal Register a plan to conduct a survey under section 1833(t)(14)(D)(ii) of the Act so he can determine the hospital acquisition cost for covered outpatient drugs at hospital outpatient departments. This survey corresponds to this executive order. The acquisition cost data hospitals submit in response to this survey will be considered when formulating proposed payment rates for drug payment under the Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS). The respondents of the survey will be the approximately 4,500 hospitals that are paid under the OPPS.
