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.

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, the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program. The DVHT Program currently consists of two distinct programs: the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking Services and Outreach Program (DVHT-SO), and the Demonstration Grants to Strengthen the Response to Victims of Human Trafficking in Native Communities Program (VHT-NC). Through the DVHT Program, grant recipients provide comprehensive case management to domestic survivors of human trafficking in traditional case management and Native community settings. This is an existing collection that is necessary to measure grant project performance, provide technical assistance to grant recipients, assess program outcomes, inform program evaluation, respond to congressional inquiries and mandated reports, and inform policy and program development that is responsive to the needs of victims. Information from this collection also enables OTIP to fulfill a provision in the TVPA of 2000, as amended, that requires the Attorney General to submit annually “a report on Federal agencies that are implementing any provision of this chapter” (22 U.S.C. § 7103(d)) and to prepare a required annual report to Congress on U.S. Government activities to combat trafficking that is prepared by the U.S. Department of Justice. Congress requires HHS and other appropriate Federal agencies to report, at a minimum, information on the number of persons who received benefits or other services under 22 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(f), in connection with programs or activities funded or administered by HHS. Minor, nonsubstantive updates have been made to performance indicators under this collection to simplify response options and to bring the collection into alignment with OTIP’s grant recipient reporting database, the Anti-Trafficking Information Management System (ATIMS). Additionally, certain response options that do not pertain to OTIP's domestic victim service programs were removed. Additionally, based on review of performance data received, specifically the average number of clients served by funded recipients over the last four years, burden estimates for this collection have been reduced. See sections A8 and A15 for additional details about proposed changes.

Semi-annual and Annual Performance Reporting Data Catalog for Formula and Discretionary Grant Programs

Key Information

Abstract

Currently, OVW uses up to 19 individual OMB-approved PDF forms to collect performance and monitoring data from grantees. These forms each collect slightly different data points and may use different questions to collect information about the same activities. OVW is submitting this new information collection request to consolidate existing and previously OMB-approved OVW information collections under a single collection with a new consolidated OMB number. This new collection would simply aggregate and streamline the performance reporting process covered by the 19 approved collections. This request leverages technology to streamline, modernize, and reduce paperwork.

FERC-505, Small Hydropower Projects and Conduit Facilities including License/Relicense, Exemption, and Qualifying Conduit Facility Determination

Key Information

Abstract

FERC-505 includes applications, notices of intent, and related information collection activities for: • Small hydropower project licenses and relicenses; • Exemptions; and • Determinations of a qualifying conduit hydropower facility. Small hydropower projects are minor water power projects and major water power projects that have an installed capacity of 10 MW or less. They may be licensed under Part I of the Federal Power Act, but some small hydropower projects may be eligible for an exemption. There are two types of FERC hydropower exemptions: (1) exemptions for qualifying conduit hydropower facilities; and (2) exemptions for small projects of 10 MW or less. A qualifying conduit hydropower facility, as defined in section 30 of the FPA, is an existing or proposed hydroelectric facility that utilizes for electric power generation the hydroelectric potential of a conduit, or any tunnel, canal, pipeline, aqueduct, flume, ditch, or similar manmade water conveyance that is not primarily used for the generation of electricity. A Notice of Intent to Construct Qualifying Conduit Hydropower Facilities under 18 CFR 4.401, which is discussed above, is required in order to seek a determination by the Commission that the proposed facility is in accordance with criteria listed at section 30 of the FPA. If the Commission issues such a determination, the facility is not required to be licensed or exempted by the Commission under Part I of the FPA. A 10-MW exemption, as defined in section 405(d) of PURPA, is a project that utilizes for electric generation the water potential of either an existing non-federal dam or a natural water feature (e.g., natural lake, water fall, gradient of a stream, etc.) without the need for a dam or man-made impoundment. The respondents for this information collection include citizens of the United States, corporations organized under the laws of United States or any State thereof, State governments, and municipalities.

Long-Term Care and Accelerated Death Benefits

Key Information

Abstract

Internal Revenue Code (IRC) sections 7702B and 101(g) define situations under which benefits paid under a long-term health care insurance contract and accelerated death benefits paid under a life insurance policy may qualify for special tax treatment. IRC section 6050Q requires the payer to report all such benefit amounts paid during any calendar year, specifying whether or not the benefits were paid in whole or in part on a per diem or other periodic basis without regard to expenses. Benefit payers use Form 1099-LTC to report any long-term care or accelerated death benefits paid to an individual. Payers include insurance companies, governmental units, and viatical settlement providers.

Key Information

Abstract

The American Indian and Alaska Natives (AIAN) Facility Survey is conducted by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Head Start (OHS) every 5 years in accordance with section 650(b) of the Head Start Act. The Head Start Act requires that OHS prepare and submit a report on the facilities used by AIAN Head Start agencies. The report must include information about the condition, location, and ownership of these facilities. To meet this statutory requirement, OHS plans to conduct an updated survey with AIAN Head Start programs. OHS conducted the most recent survey to fulfill the 2020 statutory requirement. The 2020 survey was approved under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) #0970-0534 and this survey, for the 2025 cycle, is being submitted to OMB under the same number as a reinstatement with changes.

(TD 8656 - Final) Section 6662 - Imposition of the Accuracy-Related Penalty

Key Information

Abstract

Section 6662(e) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") defines a substantial valuation misstatement under Chapter 1 of the Code for purposes of the accuracy related penalty imposed under section 6662(a). The penalty is imposed on underpayments of tax, including those caused by a substantial valuation misstatement for transactions subject to section 482. Section 6662(e)(3)(B) provides, in general, that certain adjustments are excluded in determining whether the penalty applies if a taxpayer demonstrates that it followed certain requirements in analyzing its transfer pricing, documented that analysis, and provided that documentation to the IRS upon request. Consistent with the statute, these regulations require that taxpayers contemporaneously document their transfer pricing analysis, notify the IRS of the use of certain methods for determining an arm's length price, and provide that documentation to the IRS upon request.

Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied [Alien] Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities

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 license them 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 place unaccompanied alien children referred to ORR by federal agencies into care provider facilities and to transfer children within the ORR care provider network. ACF is requesting emergency review and approval by OMB to update two forms approved under this information collection, as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13.  ACF is requesting approval as soon as possible due to secure beds becoming available on September 15, 2025 and requests 180 days of approval, during which time a full revision request will be submitted under normal procedures under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The information collection is essential to the mission of the agency, the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information, and public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed. For additional information see Attachment A.Emergency Justfication:ACF is requesting emergency review and approval by OMB to update two forms approved under the Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities information collection (OMB #0970-0554), as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13.  ACF is requesting approval as soon as possible due to secure beds becoming available on September 15, 2025 and requests 180 days of approval, during which time a full revision request will be submitted under normal procedures under the Paperwork Reduction Act.

Key Information

Abstract

The publication of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), section 6405 - "Physicians Who Order Items or Services Required to be Medicare Enrolled Physicians or Eligible Professionals" (regulation CMS 6010-F), contains a requirement for certain physicians and non-physician practitioners to enroll in the Medicare program for the sole purpose of ordering or referring items or services for Medicare beneficiaries. The PPACA has an effective date applicable to written orders and certifications made on or after July 1, 2010. The CMS 855O allows a physician to receive a Medicare identification number (without being approved for billing privileges) for the sole purpose of ordering and referring Medicare beneficiaries to Medicare approved providers and suppliers. This new Medicare application form allows physicians who do not provide services to Medicare beneficiaries to be given a Medicare identification number without having to supply all the data required for the submission of Medicare claims. It also allows the Medicare program to identify ordering and referring physicians without having to validate the amount of data necessary to determine claims payment eligibility (such as banking information), while continuing to identify the physician's credentials as valid for ordering and referring purposes.

Form 18-K - Annual Report

Key Information

Abstract

One of the purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is to help ensure that secondary markets for publicly traded securities are fair and honest. One method by which the Exchange Act carries out this purpose is by requiring issuers that have securities listed on a national securities exchange to file periodic reports with the Commission. Issuer periodic reporting requirements are prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) pursuant to its authority in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. The Commission exercised its authority under Section 13(a) to establish a periodic reporting system for foreign governments and political subdivisions. The system is only applicable with respect to issuers with securities registered on national securities exchanges under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. Form 18-K (17 CFR 249.318) is an annual report that is filed by foreign governments or political subdivisions of foreign governments that have securities that are listed on a national securities exchange. Form 18-K elicits disclosure of information concerning the listed securities of a foreign government or political subdivision of a foreign government, including external and internal debt, receipts and expenditures, foreign exchange controls, imports and exports, and balance of payments. A copy of the issuer’s latest annual budget is required to be filed as well. In requiring such information, Form 18-K helps to ensure that relevant information about the issuer is available and updated annually and can help to confirm the accuracy of previously disclosed information.

Diaper Distribution Demonstration and Research Pilot Beneficiary Information

Key Information

Abstract

The goal of this information collection is to provide information on baseline diaper need for participants served by the Diaper Distribution Demonstration and Research Pilot (DDDRP), as well as on changes in diaper need and family financial security and self-sufficiency after receipt of DDDRP services. The DDDRP is the first-ever federal diaper pilot, and research on diaper need and how diaper programs address that need is nascent. This data collection supplies critical information on diaper need and participant outcomes to provide timely information to program administrators at the federal level in addition to program administrators of DDDRP grant recipients. In April 2025, Office of Community Services (OCS) received approval to use the new Beneficiary Report to collect information about the characteristics and outcomes of beneficiaries of the DDDRP. Based on feedback from grant recipients, we have identified areas where the instructions could be clarified to improve data quality and a limited choice item could be expanded to better align with reporting needs. These improvements will help ensure consistent reporting across all grantees.

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 12d1-3 (17 CFR 240.12d1-3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is one of a series of regulations that sets forth the procedures to be followed in the process of listing securities for trading on a national securities exchange. The rule requires the governing committee or other corresponding authority of the exchange to certify to the Commission that a particular class of an issuer’s securities has been approved for listing by the exchange. The certification provided to the Commission must contain the following information: (1) the approval of the exchange for listing and registration; (2) the title of the security so approved; (3) the date of filing with the exchange of the application for registration and of any amendments thereto; and (4) any conditions imposed on such certification. The certification process works in conjunction with the Commission’s review of the issuer’s registration under Section 12 of the Exchange Act in order that the issuer’s Exchange Act registration statement may be declared effective by the Commission at the same time that the class of securities in question is approved for listing on a national securities exchange. Certifications pursuant to Rule 12d1-3 are filed with the Commission by national securities exchanges. The certification notifies the Commission’s staff that the class of securities covered by the certification has been approved for listing on an exchange and indicates any conditions imposed on the listing.

Application for Extension of Time for Payment of Tax; Application for Installment Agreement

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 6161 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary) to grant taxpayers up to 6 months of additional time to pay taxes due on any return required under the IRC. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 6159 authorizes the Secretary to enter into a written agreement with a taxpayer to allow installment payments of taxes due if the Secretary determines such an agreement will facilitate full or partial payment. Under those IRC authorities, TTB has issued two taxpayer relief application forms, TTB F 5600.38 for time extension requests, and TTB F 5600.31 for installment payment agreement requests. Using the relevant form and any required supporting documentation, an excise taxpayer regulated by TTB identifies themselves, the specific excise tax and amount in question, their current financial situation, and the reasons why the requested taxpayer relief is necessary. TTB evaluates the provided information, records its decision to approve or disapprove the requested taxpayer relief on the submitted form, and notifies the applicant of its decision by returning a copy of the form.

Non-Domiciled Commercial Driver’s License Records

Key Information

Abstract

FMCSA’s primary mission is to ensure the safety of the Nation’s roadways. Having recently become aware of the confusion in some States about the standards for issuing non-domiciled CDLs, as well as the recent incidences of crashes involving non-domiciled drivers, FMCSA must act expeditiously to ensure that States do not continue to license such drivers and begin taking steps to properly vet the existing holders of non-domiciled CDLs. These actions are expected to significantly improve the safety of commercial drivers in the United States. FMCSA cannot reasonably comply with normal clearance procedures for this collection because revisions to the regulations are being issued as an interim final rule that will take effect upon publication. The interim final rule contains revisions to certain collection requirements, so FMCSA must obtain clearance for those requirements immediately. Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act’s emergency processing requirements as described in 5 CFR 1320.13, FMCSA has determined that the collection is 1) needed prior to the expiration of the time periods under start PRA processing and 2) the collection is essential to the mission of the agency. Further, FMCSA has determined that the agency cannot comply with the normal clearance procedures because public harm is reasonably likely to result if the normal clearance procedures are followed (see 5 cfr 1320.13(a)(2)(i)). Additionally, FMCSA is unable to consult with interested agencies and members of the public in order to minimize the burden of the collection of information at this time due to the expeditious nature of the interim final rule to address the risk of public harm. As the recent, high-profile crashes caused by non-domiciled CDL drivers have shown, public harm is likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed. These crashes resulted in the deaths of 12 people, with many more being injured. FMCSA was not previously aware of the extent of the dangers posed by non-domiciled drivers, nor was FMCSA aware until the recent annual audits of SDLAs that many were either not following the regulatory processes or that the existing regulations were insufficient to keep dangerous drivers off the Nation’s roadways. Use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information because SDLAs will now be required to retain all documents involved in the licensing process for non-domiciled CLP and CDL holders for a period of no less than 2 years from the date of issuance (which includes amending, correcting, reprinting, or otherwise duplicating a previously issued CLP or CDL), transferring, renewing, or upgrading a non-domiciled CLP or CDL. FMCSA cannot require this unless an approved collection is in place. It is imperative that FMCSA begin collecting this information as soon as the interim final rule is effective. FMCSA will continue to require SDLAs to collect the information on an ongoing basis until the end of the emergency approval period. In addition to the emergency clearance, FMCSA will also complete the normal OMB review process by including the 60-Day Federal Register Notice in the relevant Interim Final Rule, followed by publication of a 30-Day Federal Register Notice either as part of a Final Rule or in a separate Federal Register Notice.Emergency Justfication:FMCSA’s primary mission is to ensure the safety of the Nation’s roadways.

Agreement for Shipments of Devices for Sterilization

Key Information

Abstract

Nonsterile medical devices that are labeled as sterile but are in interstate transit to a facility to be sterilized are normally considered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be adulterated and misbranded. FDA regulations established a control mechanism by which firms may manufacture and label medical devices as "sterile" at one establishment and ship the devices in interstate commerce for actual sterilization at another establishment, a practice that facilitates the processing of devices and is economically necessary for some firms. Manufacturers and sterilizers may sign an agreement containing instructions for maintaining accountability of the number of units in each shipment, acknowledgment that the devices are nonsterile and are being shipped for further processing, and specifications for the product's sterilization processing. This agreement allows the manufacturer to ship adulterated or misbranded products to be sterilized without initiating regulatory action and provides FDA with a means to protect consumers from use of nonsterile products. The agreement must include: (a) Instructions for maintaining accountability of the number of units in each shipment; (b) acknowledgment that the devices are nonsterile, being shipped for further processing; and (c) specifications for sterilization processing. These agreements must be retained for two years, as FDA may review them up to two years after final shipment or delivery of devices.

Airlines Withdrawing Stock from Customs Custody (TTB REC 5620/2)

Key Information

Abstract

In general, under chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), distilled spirits and wine produced in or imported into the United States are subject to Federal excise tax, but those taxes are subject to drawback (refund) when such products are subsequently exported from the United States, which, under 26 U.S.C. 5214 and 5362 includes the lading of such products as supplies on aircraft engaged in foreign flights. Also, under 19 U.S.C. 1309, those products may be withdrawn from customs custody without payment of tax for use as supplies on such aircraft. Additionally, those statutes authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations regarding such withdrawals. Under its delegated authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) alcohol export regulations in 27 CFR part 28 require airlines to keep certain records to account for distilled spirits and wine withdrawn from their stocks held in customs custody at airports for use as supplies on aircraft engaged in foreign flights. Accounting for such withdrawals, whether made subject to drawback or without payment of tax, is necessary to protect the revenue as the collected information allows TTB to verify export drawback claims and detect diversion of untaxed distilled spirits and wine into the domestic market.

Information Collected in Support of Wine Producer Tax Credit Transfers (TTB REC 5120/11)

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5041(c), importers and domestic producers may take certain tax credits on specified quantities of wine, including hard cider, imported or removed from their premises during a calendar year. In addition, under that IRC section, domestic producers may transfer their wine tax credits to other bonded premises ("transferees") that store their wine and ship it on their instructions, provided that the producer supplies such transferees with the information necessary to properly determine the transferee’s allowable tax credits. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 24 require wine producers to provide such transferees with a written record containing certain information regarding the producer, transferee, the wine, its tax rate, its removal, and the tax credits involved. The required information may be supplied and maintained using usual and customary business records such as shipping invoices. The required information is necessary to ensure that the IRC provisions regarding wine producer tax credits and their transfer are properly applied.
