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.

Special Rules for Long-Term Contracts Under Section 460

Key Information

Abstract

IRC section 460 generally provides rules that requires taxpayers to determine taxable income from a long-term contract using the percentage-of-completion (PCM) method and pay, or be entitled to receive, interest computed using the look-back method. Form 8697 is used by taxpayers to figure the interest due or to be refunded under the look-back method of IRC section 460(b)(2) on certain long-term contracts that are accounted for under either the PCM method or the percentage-of-completion capitalized cost method. TD 8775 added Treasury Regulations section 1.460-6(j), providing taxpayers with the requirements to make an election not to apply the look-back method to long-term contracts in de minimis cases. TD 8929 added Treasury Regulations section 1.460-1(e)(4), requiring taxpayers to attach a statement with specific information to their income tax return if they sever an agreement or aggregate two or more agreements during the taxable year. TD 8995, as amended by TD 9137, added Treasury Regulations section 1.460-6(g)(3)(ii)(D) providing rules concerning a mid-contract change in taxpayer of a contract accounted for under a long-term contract method of accounting. The regulation requires the previous taxpayer to provide specific information to the new taxpayer to help the new taxpayer apply the look-back method when the income from a long-term contract has been previously reported by another taxpayer.

Affordable Care Act Internal Claims and Appeals and External review Disclosures.

Key Information

Abstract

This collection of information request includes the information collection and third party notice and disclosure requirements that a plan must satisfy under final regulations implementing provisions of the Affordable Care Act pertaining to internal claims and appeals, and the external review process. The No Surprise Act extends the balance billing protections related to external reviews to grandfathered plans. The definitions of group health plan and health insurance issuer that are cited in section 110 of the No Surprises Act include both grandfathered and non-grandfathered plans and coverage. Accordingly, the practical effect of section 110 of the No Surprises Act is that grandfathered health plans must provide external review for adverse benefit determinations involving benefits subject to these surprise billing protections. Grandfathered and non-grandfathered plans must provide claimants, free of charge, any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon, or generated by the plan or issuer in connection with the claim, and the requirement to comply either with a State external review process or a Federal review process. The disclosure requirements of the Federal external review process require (1) a preliminary review by plans of requests for external appeals; (2) Independent Review Organizations (IROs) to notify claimants of eligibility and acceptance for external review; (3) the plan or issuer to provide IROs with documentation and other information considered in making adverse benefit determination; (4) the IRO to forward to the plan or issuer any information submitted by the claimant; (5) plans to notify the claimant and IRO if it reverses its decision; (6) the IRO to notify the claimant and plan of the result of the final external appeal; 7) the IRO to maintain records for six years.

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Phosphate Rock Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart NN) apply to the following existing facilities and new facilities at phosphate rock plants with capacities greater than 4 tons per hour: dryers, calciners, grinders, and ground rock handling and storage facilities, except those facilities producing or preparing phosphate rock solely for consumption in elemental phosphorus production. 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 NN. 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.

Green Chill Advanced Refrigeration Partnership (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

GreenChill is a voluntary partnership program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that encourages food retail, chemical producing, and refrigeration systems manufacturing companies to adopt cost effective technologies and practices that reduce refrigerant emissions and improve operational efficiency. Refrigerants used in food retail locations are often ozone-depleting substances and potent greenhouse gases. The GreenChill Program works with these industries to lower barriers that inhibit the implementation of technologies and practices that reduce refrigerant emissions. The Program promotes the adoption of emission reduction practices and technologies. The GreenChill Program collects four types of information from participants: 1. One-time Agreement Form. Participation in the GreenChill Partnership begins with the completion and submittal of a two-page Partnership Agreement that outlines responsibilities of the GreenChill Partner company and EPA. For food retailer partners, a worksheet accompanies this form for prospective Partners to self-identify as a small format food retailer or a large format food retailer for the purpose of GreenChill data analysis and recognition. This voluntary agreement can be terminated by the GreenChill Partner or EPA with no notice or penalties or further obligation. 2. Annual Reporting. Annual reporting is a key part of the Partnership. Upon acceptance, food retail Partners agree to submit an Annual Report documenting the previous years refrigerant stocks and emissions from commercial refrigeration systems. Thereafter, food retail Partners report refrigerant emission reduction activities on an annual basis. Partners may voluntarily submit annual information to further characterize the refrigerant stocks and emissions including refrigerant from heating, ventilation, and air conditioning; and refrigerated space (e.g., square footage). Systems manufacturing Partners also submit annual reports for commercial refrigeration system sales for a coarse grouping of common technologies. 3. Annual Refrigerant Management Plan. In addition to annual stocks and emissions reporting, each year food retail Partners agree to submit a Refrigerant Management Plan. In their management plans, Partners are encouraged to communicate their refrigerant emission management efforts to EPA. 4. Individual Store Certification and Annual Re-certification. The GreenChill Program offers food retailers the opportunity for any individual store to be GreenChill-certified at one of multiple tiered certification levels when it meets a set of criteria. Stores may demonstrate that the amount of refrigerant used is below a specified limit, based on the stores cooling load, measured in million British Thermal Units per hour (MBTU/hr), that the refrigerant emitted from the store in the prior 12 months is below the specified percentage for the GreenChill Store Certification level. Certifications are valid for one year; food retail locations must re-apply and meet the Program criteria if they wish to remain certified. Food retailers do not need to be a Partner to participate in this part of the Program. It is not necessary to have a signed a Partnership Agreement.

Emissions Certification and Compliance Requirements for Nonroad Compression-Ignition Engines and On-Highway Heavy Duty Engines (Revision)

Key Information

Abstract

Title II of the Clean Air Act, (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; CAA), charges the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with issuing certificates of conformity for those engines and vehicles that comply with applicable emission requirements. The emission values achieved during certification testing may also be used in the Averaging, Banking, and Trading (ABT) Program. The program allows engine manufacturers to bank credits for engine families that emit below the standard and use the credits to certify engine families that emit above the standard. They may also trade banked credits with other manufacturers. Participation in the ABT program is voluntary. The CAA also mandates EPA to verify that manufacturers have successfully translated their certified prototypes into mass-produced engines; and that these engines comply with emission standards throughout their useful lives. EPA verifies this through ‘Compliance Programs’ which include Production Line Testing (PLT), In-use Testing and Selective Enforcement Audits, (SEAs). In-use testing allows manufacturers and EPA to verify compliance with emission standards throughout an engine family’s useful life. Through SEAs, EPA verifies that test data submitted by engine manufacturers is reliable and testing is performed according to EPA regulations. Under the Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers (TPEM), NRCI equipment manufacturers were able to delay compliance with Tier 4 standards for up to seven years as long as they comply with certain limitations. The program, has ended for all power categories. This includes hardship relief. All TPEM forms, except the reporting templates and the bond worksheet are being retired in this action. Participants are required to keep records “for at least five full years after the final year in which allowances are available for each power category” (40 CFR 1039.625(h). The information requested is collected by the Compliance Division (CD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation, EPA. CD uses this information to issue certificates of conformity and ensure that manufacturers comply with applicable regulations and the CAA. Some HD data is also used by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to implement their programs under 49 USC 32902. EPA’s and NHTSA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance and the Department of Justice may use the information for enforcement purposes. Manufacturers may assert a claim of confidentiality over information provided to EPA. Confidentiality is granted in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act and EPA regulations at 40 CFR Part 2.

Key Information

Abstract

To provide consumers with adequate information as to the identity of alcohol beverages and prohibit consumer deception, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 26 U.S.C. 205, and the related Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR chapter I require alcohol beverage bottlers and importers to apply for Certificates of Label Approval (COLAs) for such products introduced into interstate commerce or released from customs custody. Additionally, those regulations require domestic bottlers of distilled spirits and wines to apply for COLA exemptions for certain products sold only in intra-State commerce and require domestic bottlers and importers of distilled spirits to apply for approval of distinctive bottles. The vast majority of bottlers and importers complete and submit such applications electronically using TTB’s web-based COLAs Online system. Specific to this information collection, to protect TTB computer systems from cyber threats and misuse, persons desiring to use COLAs Online must first submit and receive TTB approval of a COLAs Online Access Request. The collected information identifies the COLAs Online access applicant and confirms their authority to act on behalf of a specific alcohol beverage industry member. Applicants submit COLAs Online access requests electronically using the COLAs Online User Registration function or its paper equivalent, TTB F 5013.2, COLAs Online Access Request.

Letterhead Applications and Notices Relating to Denatured Spirits (TTB REC 5150/2)

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5214, denatured spirits (alcohol to which denaturants have been added to render it unfit for beverage purposes) may be withdrawn from distilled spirits plants free of tax for nonbeverage industrial purposes in the manufacture of certain personal and household products. Since it is possible to recover potable alcohol from denatured spirits and articles made with denatured spirits, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5271–5275 sets forth provisions regarding such spirits and articles. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR Part 20, Distribution and Use of Denatured Alcohol and Rum, require specially denatured spirits (SDS) dealers and nonbeverage product manufacturers that use or recover SDS to apply for and obtain a permit. Those part 20 regulations also require such permit holders, and non-permit holders that traffic in large quantities of completely denatured spirits (CDS), to submit letterhead applications or notices to TTB regarding certain changes to their permit information, use of alternate methods and emergency variations, adoption or use of certain formulas, losses in transit, and other specified matters. The collected information is necessary to implement the IRC's statutory provisions regarding denatured spirits and protect the revenue.

Key Information

Abstract

Section 6103(e) of the Internal revenue code allows taxpayers to request, and IRS to grant, "innocent spouse" relief when: taxpayer filed a joint return with tax substantially understated; taxpayer establishes no knowledge of or benefit from, the understatement; and it would be inequitable to hold the taxpayer liable. GAO Report GAO/GGD-97-34 recommended that IRS develop a form to make relief easier for the public to request.
