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.

Rule 35d-1 Investment Company Names

Key Information

Abstract

Section 35(d) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 prohibits a registered investment company from adopting as part of the name or title of such company, or of any securities of which it is the issuer, any word or words that the Commission finds are materially deceptive or misleading. Rule 35d-1 under the Investment Company Act defines certain names of funds as “materially deceptive and misleading” for purposes of Section 35(d) unless a fund with one of those names adopts an investment policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its assets in investments in accordance with the investment focus that the fund's name suggests (“80% investment policy”). Rule 35d-1 further requires either that the 80% investment policy be fundamental or that the fund has adopted a policy to provide its shareholders with at least 60 days prior notice of any change in the 80% investment policy. The rule, however, does not require that a fund file the notice to shareholders with the Commission.

Assessment of the Underage Drinking Prevention Initiative

Key Information

Abstract

To help address the problem of underage drinking (UAD) and its consequences, SAMHSA sponsors nationwide Communities Talk activities approximately every 2 years. These activities are intended to work at the grassroots level to raise awareness of the public health dangers of UAD and to engage communities in evidence-based prevention. Notably, Communities Talk activities provide a forum for communities to discuss ways they can best prevent UAD by reducing the availability of alcohol and by creating community norms that discourage demand. The information is collected to document the implementation efforts of this nationwide initiative, determine if the federally sponsored activities lead to additional activities within the community that are aimed at preventing and reducing UAD, identify what these activities may possibly include, and help plan for future rounds of Communities Talk.

U.S. Customs Declaration

Key Information

Abstract

CBP Form 6059B, Customs Declaration, is used as a standard report of the identity and residence of each person arriving in the United States. This form is also used to declare imported articles to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in accordance with 19 CFR 122.27, 148.12, 148.13, 148.110, 148.111; 31 U.S.C. 5316 and Section 498 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1498). Section 148.13 of the CBP regulations prescribes the use of the CBP Form 6059B when a written declaration is required of a traveler entering the United States. Generally, written declarations are required from travelers arriving by air or sea. Section 148.12 requires verbal declarations from travelers entering the United States. Generally, verbal declarations are required from travelers arriving by land. CBP continues to find ways to improve the entry process through the use of mobile technology to ensure it is safe and efficient. To that end, CBP is testing the operational effectiveness of a process which allows travelers to use a mobile app to submit information to CBP prior to arrival. This process, called Mobile Passport Control (MPC) which is a mobile app that allows travelers to self-segment upon arrival into the United States — a process also known as intelligent queuing. The submission of information in advance using MPC allows CBP to direct travelers to the appropriate queue in primary or self-segment directly to secondary if additional inspection is necessary. The continued testing also helps determine under what circumstances CBP should require a written customs declaration (CBP Form 6059B) and when it is beneficial to admit travelers who make an oral customs declaration during the primary inspection. MPC eliminates the administrative tasks performed by the officer during a traditional inspection and in most cases will eliminate the need for respondents/travelers to fill out a paper declaration. MPC provides a more efficient and secure in person inspection between the CBP Officer and the traveler. Another electronic process that CBP is testing in lieu of the paper 6059B is the Automated Passport Control (APC). This is a CBP program that facilitates the entry process for travelers by providing self-service kiosks in CBP’s Primary Inspection area that travelers can use to make their declaration. Both APC and MPC allow an electronic method for travelers to answer the questions that appear on form 6059B without filling out a paper form.

DRAFT - On-Highway Motorcycle Certification and Compliance Program (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.) manufacturers and importers of on-highway motorcycles must have a certificate of conformity issued by EPA covering any vehicle they intend to offer for sale in the United States. A certificate of conformity represents that the respective vehicle conforms to all applicable emissions requirements. In issuing a certificate of conformity, EPA reviews vehicle information and emissions test data to determine if the required testing has been performed and the required emissions levels have been demonstrated. After a certificate of conformity has been issued, the Agency may request additional information to verify that the product continues to meet its certified emissions standards throughout its useful life.

Per Diem to States for Care of Eligible Veterans in State Homes

Key Information

Abstract

Authority for this information collection is from Title 38 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 51, Per Diem for Nursing Home, Domiciliary or Adult Day Health Care of Veterans in State Veterans Homes published in the Federal Register as final rule on November 28, 2018 (RIN 2900-A088). This collection of forms is approved under OMB Control Number 2900-0883. These six forms (10-0143, 10-0143A, 10-0144, 10-0144A, 10-0460a and 10-3567) are presented to and completed by State Veterans Homes (SVH) management under Subpart B of the CFR Part 51 and then assessed for compliance to applicable regulations under Subparts D, E or F by VA contracted vendors during a VA survey at each State Veterans Home (SVH) across the U.S. as a regulatory action. This collection of forms falls under the auspices of The Office of Geriatrics and Extended Care in VA Central Office (12GEC). As per VHA Directive 1145.01, this collection of forms is part of the VA survey process. The legal requirements that necessitate this collection of information are found specifically at title 38 CFR Parts §51.31, §51.43 and §51.210 for all three levels of care: nursing home, domiciliary, and adult day health care. VA is requesting to replace VA Form 10-0460 Request for Prescription Drugs from an Eligible Veteran in a State Home with a MS Excel file, 10-0460a, that will document and record any SVH request for VA Medical Center (VAMC) furnished medications or VAMC reimbursement of medications that will identify how the Veteran meets regulatory eligibility criteria specified in §51.43. The MS Excel file will be a monthly exchange of information between the SVH and the VAMC to assure compliance with federal regulations. The MS Excel file, 10-0460a,will take the place of the current VA Form 10-0460.

Record of Carbon Dioxide Measurement in Effervescent Products Taxed as Hard Cider

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5041, defines and imposes six Federal excise tax rates on wine, which vary by the wine’s alcohol and carbon dioxide content. Wines with no more than 0.392 grams of carbon dioxide per 100 milliliters are taxed as still wine at $1.07, $1.57, or $3.15 per gallon, depending on their alcohol content, while wines with more than 0.392 grams of carbon dioxide per 100 milliliters are taxed as effervescent wine at $3.30 per gallon if artificially carbonated or $3.40 per gallon if naturally carbonated. However, under those IRC provisions, certain apple- and pear-based wines are subject to the “hard cider” tax rate of $0.226 per gallon if the product contains no more than 0.64 grams of carbon dioxide per 100 milliliters of wine and does not exceed 8.5 percent alcohol by volume. Given the significant difference in those excise tax rates which, in part, depend on the level of a wine's effervescence, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations at 27 CFR 24.302 require proprietors who produce or receive effervescent hard cider to record the amount of carbon dioxide in the product. This recordkeeping requirement is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to verify during field audits a respondent's compliance with the statutory definition of wine eligible for the hard cider tax rate.

Application for Registration for Tax-Free Firearms and Ammunition Transactions Under 26 U.S.C. 4221.

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 4181 imposes a Federal excise tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition sold by manufacturers, producers, and importers. Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 4221, no excise tax is imposed on certain sales of firearms and ammunition, provided that the seller and purchaser of the articles (with certain exceptions) are registered as required by 26 U.S.C. 4222 and the related regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations at 27 CFR 53.140 prescribe the use of form TTB F 5300.28 as the application to obtain an approved Certificate of Registry to sell or purchase firearms and ammunition tax free. TTB uses the collected information to determine if the respondent is qualified to engage in tax-free sales and issue the required certificate. In addition, once registered, persons registered make certain amendments to their previously provided information by filing an amended TTB F 5300.28 or by filing a letterhead notice.

Key Information

Abstract

Information collection activities for the Beneficiary and Family Centered Information Collection include the following: Experience Survey: The population is comprised of Medicare beneficiaries who received support from a QIO with an appeal or complaint case. The sample will be stratified, analyzed, and reported by case type: • Appeal stratum – A simple random sample will be drawn of approximately 3 percent (9,000) of the annual universe (n=350,000). No sub-stratum oversampling will be used. This is expected to yield sufficient data to support quarterly analytic and evaluation reporting. • Complaint medical record review stratum - Given the relatively small annual volume (n=1,500), a census will be drawn in order to yield sufficient data for quarterly analytic and evaluation reporting. • Immediate advocacy stratum - A simple random sample will be drawn of approximately 30 percent (4,500) of the annual universe (n=15,000). No sub-stratum oversampling will be used. This is expected to yield sufficient data for quarterly analytic and evaluation reporting. Information collection will be conducted via telephone with paper surveys sent by mail upon request, and for those who do not respond by telephone. Data will be collected monthly with the annualized sample and burden hours allocated evenly across 12 months.

Usual and Customary Business Records Relating to Denatured Spirits (TTB REC 5150/1)

Key Information

Abstract

Denatured distilled spirits, which generally are not subject to Federal excise tax, may be used for industrial purposes in the manufacture of nonbeverage products. To prevent diversion of denatured spirits to taxable beverage use, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5271–5275 imposes a system of permits, bonds, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements on persons that procure or use such alcohol. Those IRC sections also authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations regarding those matters. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 20 require industrial alcohol users to keep certain usual and customary business records regarding the distribution, procurement, and use of denatured spirits. TTB uses the required records to account for denatured spirits and ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.

Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to expand benefits and services to victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons in the United States (U.S.), without regard to their immigration status. The TVPA also authorizes HHS to establish and strengthen programs to assist United States citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced sex trafficking or severe forms of trafficking in persons (22 U.S.C. § 7105(f)(1)). Acting under a delegation of authority from the Secretary of HHS, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) awards cooperative agreements to organizations to establish a program to assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced human trafficking through the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program. The central purpose of the DVHT Program is to connect survivors with the services they need to improve their well-being and health outcomes. Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking Program Data (OMB #0970-0542) is an active and approved collection of client-level data on those served through the DVHT Program. The information collected allows ACF to evaluate service delivery efforts, inform prevention programming, and monitor program outcomes. In addition to client-level data, information on the type and cost of services provided through the program is collected to enable ACF to respond to congressional inquiries related to program spending and to provide technical assistance to grant recipients on managing available funding for individuals and households enrolled in the program. DVHT currently inclusive of two distinct award programs: the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking and Services Outreach Program (DVHT-SO) and the Demonstration Grants to Strengthen the Response to Victims of Human Trafficking in Native Communities (VHT-NC) Program. The performance indicators and data collection instruments under OMB #0970-0542 apply to both DVHT programs. The primary objective of OTIP’s victim assistance programs, including DVHT, is to provide comprehensive, culturally and linguistically responsive case management to individuals who have experienced a severe form of trafficking in persons. Current DVHT recipients have reported concerns over competing requirements and priorities under their awards, which made it difficult to balance direct service provision against training activities for community-based providers and members of the general public. Grant recipients have also cited concerns over the lack of foundational knowledge within their communities as to what constitutes human trafficking victimization, which has impacted their ability to identify potential victims and connect those individuals with services. Beginning in FY 2024, so as to reduce reporting burden on recipients and strengthen public awareness within the geographic service areas where recipients implement their programs, training is no longer required or an allowable activity under DVHT. These updated requirements pertaining to allowable and required programmatic activities were made public through the most recent NOFOs and grant award processes and are already in effect. As such, we are requesting to remove the training indicators from OMB #0970-0542 and to make a minor update to the Outreach form for recipients to report on their public awareness activities.

Combined Alcohol Excise Tax Returns and Operations Reports—Pilot Test

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5061, the Federal excise tax on distilled spirits, wine, and beer is collected on the basis of a return which taxpayers file on a semi-monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, depending on the amount of their annual tax liability (see 26 U.S.C. 5061(d)(4)). In addition, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5207, 5367, and 5415, taxpayers for distilled spirits, wine, and beer, respectively, must furnish reports of operations and transactions as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Currently, under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR chapter I require alcohol excise taxpayers to report their excise tax liability using form TTB F 5000.24, Excise Tax Return, approved under OMB No. 1513–0083. In addition, alcohol excise taxpayers must file operations reports accounting for their production, removals, losses, and certain other matters that effect their excise tax liability. Distilled spirits plant proprietors file up to four separate operations reports on a monthly basis on TTB F 5110.11, TTB F 5110.28, TTB F 5110.40, and TTB F 5110.43, approved under OMB Nos. 1513–0039, 1513–0041, 1513–0047, and 1513–0049, concerning, respectively, storage, processing, production, and denaturing operations. Wine premises proprietors file monthly operations reports on TTB F 5120.17, approved under OMB No. 1513–0053. Brewers, depending on their annual tax liability, file operations reports either on a monthly basis using TTB F 5130.9 or on a quarterly basis using TTB F 5130.9 or TTB F 5130.26, both of which are approved under OMB No. 1513–0007. As part of TTB’s efforts to lower respondent burden, the Bureau is developing a combined tax return and simplified operations report and intends to pilot its use with alcohol excise taxpayers. Under this pilot, alcohol excise taxpayers will submit a letterhead application to join the pilot program as an alternative method to their filing the current tax return and operations reports under existing regulatory requirements. Once approved, taxpayers participating in the pilot program will file their combined alcohol excise return and simplified operations report under the due dates currently applicable to their excise tax returns. The collected information will allow TTB to identify the excise taxpayer, the amount of taxes due, and the amount of payment made. Additionally, the collected information will allow TTB to identify the amount of distilled spirits, wine, or beer the taxpayer produced, removed, transferred, and disposed of during the reporting period, which effects the amount of alcohol excise tax due, while reducing the overall burden of filing separate tax returns and operations reports. TTB is beginning this pilot test program with the information collection and instruments related to the combined beer excise tax and operations report; it will issue information collections and instruments related to the wine and distilled spirits excise tax and operations reports at later dates.
