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.

Form 1042, Schedule Q (Form 1042), Form 1042-S, Form 1042-T, and Section 871(m) Transactions

Key Information

Abstract

Internal Revenue Code (IRC) sections 871, 877A, 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, 1471, 1472, 5000C, and 6049 require withholding agents to deduct and withhold specified amounts of income paid to certain expatriates, nonresident aliens, foreign persons, foreign partnerships, and foreign corporations for tax liabilities under IRC Subtitle A. IRC sections 1461 and 1474, and their associated regulations, make these withholding agents liable for such tax and require reporting of taxes and payments to the IRS. Treasury Regulations section 1.871-15(p) was added by Treasury Decision (TD) 9734, as amended by TD 9815, as amended by TD 9887. This regulation provides that any party to an IRC section 871(m) transaction may request information regarding that transaction from another party to the transaction. There is no prescribed form required. Any statement required by section 1.871-15(p) may be provided in paper or electronic form. The regulation allows taxpayers to share information in any reasonable manner agreed to by the parties. See 1.871-15(p)(3)(i). Form 1042, Annual Withholding Tax Return for U.S. Source Income of Foreign Persons, is used by withholding agents to report tax amounts withheld from payments to certain expatriates, nonresident aliens, foreign persons, foreign partnerships, and foreign corporations to the IRS. Schedule Q (Form 1042), Tax Liability of Qualified Derivatives Dealer (QDD), is used by a taxpayer, or any branch of the taxpayer, that was a QDD to report tax liabilities as required by Treasury Regulations section 1.441-1(e)(6)(i)(D)(3). Form 1042-S, Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding, is an information return used by the withholding agent to report certain income and amounts withheld to the payee and the IRS. Form 1042-T, Annual Summary and Transmittal of Forms 1042-S, is used by the withholding agent to transmit paper Forms 1042-S to the IRS.

Abstract

Form 709 is used by individuals to report transfers subject to the gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes and to compute these taxes. The IRS uses the information to collect and enforce these taxes, to verify that the taxes are properly computed, and to compute the tax base for the estate tax. Form 709-NA is used to report certain transfers by a nonresident not a citizen of the United States that are subject to the federal gift tax and certain generation-skipping transfer (GST) taxes and to figure the tax due, if any, on those transfers. The Form 709-NA is also used to allocate the lifetime GST exemption to property transferred during a transferor’s lifetime.

Ongoing Data Collection of Centrally Cleared Transactions in the U.S. Repurchase Agreement Market

Key Information

Abstract

The Financial Stability Oversight Council (“Council”) recommended an ongoing collection of repo data in its 2016 Annual Report to Congress and maintained this recommendation in its 2017 Annual Report. The expanded monitoring of the repo market made possible by this proposed collection appropriately meets Council duties and purposes because of this market’s crucial role in providing short-term funding and performing other functions for U.S. markets. The data would also support the calculation of the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”), which was selected by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) as its preferred alternative rate to U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), as well as the Broad General Collateral Rate (“BGCR”), helping fulfill another Council recommendation on the creation of alternative reference rates. The collection requires reporting by certain U.S. central counterparties (“CCPs”) for repo transactions. The collection serves two primary purposes: (1) enhancing the ability of the Council and the Office to identify and monitor risks to financial stability; and (2) supporting the calculation of certain reference rates. The collection is used by the Office to improve the Council and member agencies’ monitoring of the U.S. repo market through access to daily transaction data. The collection is also be used by Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) as input into the calculation of the SOFR and BGCR. The Council recognized in prior annual reports that fragilities in LIBOR made the financial system vulnerable to instability and recommended the creation of alternative reference rates such as the SOFR and BGCR , demonstrating the nexus of rate production to financial stability. The Office also uses these data for related duties and purposes as contemplated by the Dodd-Frank Act. The Office supports the Council and its member agencies by providing collected data.

Appraisals, 12 CFR Part 722

Key Information

Abstract

Title XI of the Financial Institutions, Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) was enacted to protect federal financial and public policy interests in real estate related transactions. To achieve this purpose, the statute directed the NCUA to adopt standards for the performance of real estate appraisals in connection with federally related transactions. FIRREA requires that appraisals be maintained in writing and meet certain minimum standards. NCUA’s regulation Part 722 carries out the statutory requirements. The information collection activity requires a credit union to obtain a written appraisal on federally related transactions or maintain written support of the estimated market value for transactions not required to have an appraisal. The use of their information by credit unions and NCUA helps ensure that federally insured credit unions are not exposed to risk of loss from inadequate appraisals.

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 the CFPB's and the Board's Regulations V

Key Information

Abstract

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).

Motor Carrier Identification Report

Key Information

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.

Recordkeeping and Disclosure Requirements Associated with Regulation H (Loans Secured by Real Estate Located in Flood Hazard Areas)

Key Information

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.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Public Transportation Safety Certification Training Program (PTSCTP)

Key Information

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.

National Youth Tobacco Surveys 2024 2026

Key Information

Abstract

The goal of the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) is to collect tobacco use behavioral data among 6th through 12th grade students in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The purpose of the survey is to assess use of tobacco products and the associated correlates. For this revision, the content of the 2024 instrument remains largely consistent with the past NYTS surveys. The overall burden is somewhat higher than the previous cycle due to the increased sample size allowing for more precision of race estimates.

Requirements for Patent Applications Containing Nucleotide Sequence and/or Amino Acid Sequence Disclosures

Key Information

Abstract

Patent applications that contain nucleotide and/or amino acid sequence disclosures falling within the definitions of 37 CFR 1.831 (for applications filed on or after July 1, 2022) or 37 CFR 1.821(a) (for applications filed on or before June 30, 2022) must include, as a separate part of the application disclosure, a copy of the sequence listing in accordance with the requirements in 37 CFR 1.831-1.835 or 37 CFR 1.821-1.825, respectively. Applicants may submit sequence listings for both U.S. and international patent applications. For more information concerning the submission of sequence listings in international applications, see the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Rules 5.2 and 13ter, Annex C of the PCT Administrative Instructions, and section 1848 of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) (9th ed., Rev. 01.2024, November 2024). This information collection covers the submission of the sequence listing information itself. Information pertaining to the initial filing of U.S. patent applications is collected under OMB Control Number 0651-0032, and information pertaining to the initial filing of international applications is collected under OMB Control Number 0651-0021. Sequence listings for applications having a filing date of on or after July 1, 2022, must be submitted in XML format in accordance with 37 CFR 1.831-1.835. The submission of a sequence listing in XML format must be made either electronically via the USPTO patent electronic filing system (currently Patent Center) as an XML file not exceeding 100MB without file compression, or as an XML file on a read-only optical disc in accordance with 37 CFR 1.834(b)(2). Sequence listings may still be filed in applications having a filing date of on or before June 30, 2022, as amendments that meet the requirements of 37 CFR 1.825. Sequence listings submitted as amendments in accordance with 37 CFR 1.825 must be submitted as: • An ASCII plain text file via Patent Center or on a read-only optical disc; • A PDF file via Patent Center; or • Physical sheets of paper. When an amendment that meets the requirements of 37 CFR 1.825 is submitted as a PDF or on physical sheets of paper in an application having a filing date of on or before June 30, 2022, the applicant may also need to submit a new or substitute computer readable form (CRF) copy of the sequence listing under 37 CFR 1.821(e) and 1.824, with the amendment incorporated therein, if necessary, under 37 CFR 1.825(a)(5)(ii) or (b)(6)(ii). Applicants may submit the CRF copy via Patent Center or on a read-only optical disc as provided in 37 CFR 1.824(b). When a new or substitute CRF copy is necessary, applicants must submit a statement indicating that the CRF copy of the sequence listing is identical to the PDF or paper copy. This information collection also accounts for these CRF copy and statement requirements.

Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau Administrative Activities

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.
