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.

Key Information

Abstract

The Stephen Beck, Jr., Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act of 2014, as part of The Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113–295), added Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 529A. IRC section 529A provides rules under which States or State agencies or instrumentalities may establish and maintain a new type of tax-favored savings program through which contributions may be made to the account of an eligible disabled individual to meet qualified disability expenses. These accounts also receive favorable treatment for purposes of certain means-tested Federal programs. Treasury Regulations section 1.529A–2 provides guidance about the requirements applicable to qualified ABLE programs and individuals seeking to establish ABLE accounts under such programs.

Rock Burst Control Plan (Pertains to Underground Metal/Nonmetal Mines)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), as amended 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to collect information necessary to carry out its duty in protecting the safety and health of miners. Further, section 101(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 811, authorizes the Secretary of Labor to develop, promulgate, and revise as may be appropriate, improved mandatory health or safety standards for the protection of life and prevention of injuries in coal and metal and nonmetal mines. 30 CFR 57.3461 requires operators of underground metal and nonmetal mines which have experienced a rock burst to report to the nearest MSHA office of each rock burst within 24 hours. These mine operators are also required to develop and implement a rock burst control plan within 90 days after a rock burst has been experienced. Plans are required to include: (1) mining and operating procedures designed to reduce the occurrence of rock bursts; (2) monitoring procedures where detection methods are used; and (3) other measures to minimize exposure of persons to areas prone to rock bursts. Plans are also required to be updated as conditions warrant and are to be made available to MSHA inspectors and to miners or their representatives. The standard does not require that all underground metal and nonmetal mines develop these preventative measures, but it does require that all mines with a rock burst history develop and implement a rock burst control plan. Rock bursts pose a serious threat to the safety of miners in the area affected by the burst. These bursts may reasonably be expected to result in the entrapment of miners, serious physical harm, and death. Recent mining technology utilizes scientific methods of monitoring rock stresses which allows for the prediction of an oncoming burst. These predictions can be used by the mine operator to move miners to safer locations and to identify areas which need relief drilling.

Form 8838 is used to extend the statute of limitations for U.S. persons who transfer stock or securities to a foreign corporation. The form is filed when the transferor makes a gain recognition agreement. This agreement allows the transferor to defer the payment of tax on the transfer. The IRS uses Form 8838 so that it may assess tax against the transferor after the expiration of the original statute of limitations.

Supervisory Stress Test Annual Data Collection, 12 CFR Part 702, Subpart C

Key Information

Abstract

The NCUA Board (Board) has determined, to protect the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) and the credit union system, that the largest Federally Insured Credit Unions (FICUs) should have systems and processes in place to monitor and maintain their capital adequacy. Subpart C of part 702 of NCUA's regulations codifies capital planning and stress testing requirements for federally insured credit unions with $10 billion or more in assets (covered credit unions). Covered credit unions are further delineated by asset tiers. Tier I are credit union with $10 billion or more in total assets, but less than $15 billion in total assets; tier II are credit union with $15 billion or more in total assets, but less than $20 billion in total assets; and tier III are credit union with $20 billion or more in total assets. Tier II and III credit unions are required to conduct supervisory stress tests and section 702.306 (b) codifies that NCUA reserves the right to conduct stress tests of covered credit unions at any time and where both NCUA and a covered credit union have conducted the tests, the results of NCUA's tests will determine whether the covered credit union has met the requirements of this subpart. To facilitate NCUA's ability to conduct supervisory stress test on covered credit unions, section 702.306(d) requires that covered credit unions must provide NCUA with any relevant qualitative or quantitative information requested by NCUA pertinent to capital plans or stress test under this part.

Application for an Alcohol Fuel Producer Permit Under 26 U.S.C. 5181

Key Information

Abstract

Under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 5181(a)(1), persons wishing to establish a distilled spirits plant for the sole purpose of producing and receiving distilled spirits for fuel use must provide an application and bond as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe by regulation. Under this authority, TTB has issued regulations concerning the establishment of such alcohol fuel plants (AFPs) in 27 CFR part 19, subpart X. Those regulations require that a person wishing to establish a new AFP must submit an application for an alcohol fuel producer permit using form TTB F 5110.74. The regulations also require existing AFP proprietors to use that same form to make certain amendments to their permit information. TTB F 5110.74 and its required supporting documents identify or describe, among other things, the applicant, the proposed AFP’s location and layout, its stills, its size category (small, medium, or large) based on the amount of alcohol fuel to be produced annually, and the security measures to be taken to prevent theft and diversion of the distilled spirits produced. The collected information allows TTB to determine the applicant's eligibility under the IRC to obtain or modify an alcohol fuel producer permit, and to determine whether the applicant's AFP operations will conform to Federal law and regulations. Such determinations are necessary to protect the revenue as distilled spirits produced at an AFP are potable and thus subject to Federal excise tax until denatured for fuel use. Once distilled spirits are denatured at an AFP, the resulting alcohol fuel may be withdrawn free of tax as authorized by the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5214(a)(12).

Brewer’s Notices; and Letterhead Applications and Notices Filed by Brewers

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5401 requires brewers to file a notice of intent to operate a brewery, containing the information the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5411, 5412, 5414, 5415, and 5417, authorizes certain other uses of and operations at breweries under regulations issued the Secretary. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR Part 25, Beer, require new brewery applicants to submit TTB F 5130.10, Brewer’s Notice, which provides TTB with information similar to that collected on a permit application; require brewers to submit an amended Brewer's Notice when certain changes occur to the brewery's ownership, control, location, description, and bond or operating status; and require brewers to submit letterhead applications or notices regarding certain changes in brewery operations and the destruction, loss, or return of beer. The TTB part 25 regulations also require brewers to maintain a permanent file at their premises containing their Brewer's Notice, its incorporated supporting documents, and the related letterhead applications and notices, available for inspection by TTB officers. This information collection request is necessary to protect the revenue and ensure that brewers conduct their operations in compliance with relevant Federal laws and regulations.

Escape and Evacuation Plans

Key Information

Abstract

30 CFR 57.11053 requires the development of specific escape and evacuation plans by the operator that address the unique conditions and mining system of each underground metal and nonmetal mine (MNM). The plan must show assigned responsibilities of all key personnel in the event of an emergency and set out in written form. 30 CFR 57.11053 also requires that mine operators make modifications to the escape and evacuation plan for an underground metal and nonmetal mine as mining progresses and conditions at the mine change. The plan must be available to the Secretary or their authorized representatives from MSHA, and conspicuously posted at the mine at locations convenient to all persons on the surface and underground. The mine operator and MSHA are required to jointly review the plan at least once every 6 months. The information is prepared by the mine operator for use by miners, MSHA, and persons involved in rescue operations. A miner must be aware, at all times, of the emergency escape route for his/her particular working place. Rescue personnel must be aware of the miners’ escape routes.

Sealing of Abandoned Areas

Key Information

Abstract

MSHA's standards for sealing abandoned areas in underground coal mines includes requirements covering the design and construction of new seals and the maintenance and repair of all seals. Miners rely on seals to protect them from the hazardous, and sometimes explosive, environments within the sealed area. MSHA inspectors use the records to determine that tests and examinations, required by the standards, are being done correctly. Records collected under these standards will help ensure that the construction and maintenance of seals are done correctly, certified persons conducting sampling in sealed areas are adequately trained, and results from sampling in sealed areas are recorded, so that problems can be identified and corrected.
