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.

Records of Operations - Importer of Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5741 requires all manufacturers and importers of tobacco products, processed tobacco, or cigarette papers and tubes, and all export warehouse proprietors to keep records as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation, subject to government inspection during business hours. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 41 require importers of tobacco products or processed tobacco to maintain usual and customary records kept during the normal course of business showing the receipt and disposition of imported tobacco products or processed tobacco. TTB uses the collected information to ensure that importers’ activities comply with the relevant provisions of the IRC and that processed tobacco, which is not taxed, is not diverted to taxable tobacco product manufacturing.

National Implementation of In-Center Hemodialysis CAHPS Survey (CMS-10105)

Key Information

Abstract

CMS designed the ICH CAHPS survey and measures to enable dialysis patients to make more informed decisions when choosing a dialysis facility, to aid facilities in their quality improvement efforts, and to help CMS monitor the performance of dialysis facilities. CMS publicly reports clinical quality measures and patient experience of care survey results for kidney dialysis centers on Care Compare on Medicare.gov. Public reporting of ICH CAHPS data is refreshed in April and October, with each refresh including a rolling average of the two most recent survey periods available. Both clinical and patient experience of care quality measures enable patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) to make informed decisions when choosing a dialysis facility. The ICH CAHPS survey fulfills a requirement of the ESRD Quality Incentive Program (QIP).

Key Information

Abstract

The collection of information set forth under 49 CFR part 234, subpart E (§§ 234.303 and 234.311) is used by FRA to ensure that the Congressional mandate to require railroads to establish and maintain a toll-free telephone service to report unsafe conditions at highway-rail and pathway grade crossings is carried out. This information is used by railroads to investigate and respond to unsafe conditions and thereby reduce the risk of accidents/incidents and corresponding casualties and property damage at such crossings. Additionally, law enforcement authorities use the information to direct vehicular traffic or carry out other activities to maintain safety at the highway-rail grade crossing or pathway grade crossing. This collection of information is collected as needed and it involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Motor Carrier Identification Report

Key Information

Abstract

The original expiration date of the ICR was October 31, 2025. During the Federal government shutdown, in early October, FMCSA was not able to have the 30-day FR for the ICR published at the OFR therefore, to avoid the ICR from expiring, FMCSA submitted a request for emergency extension (EE) of the expiration date of the ICR. OMB approved the EE request on October 30, 2025 and the expiration date of the ICR was extended to December 31, 2025. When the shutdown ended the 30-day FR was published on November 19, 2025, and the ICR is now being resubmitted with a 60-day and 30-day FR for the approval of a 3-year ICR renewal. 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.

Generic Clearance for the Collection of Certain Biographic and Employment Identifiers on Immigration Forms

Key Information

Abstract

This generic clearance for the new collection of certain biographic and employment identifiers, which impacts nine information collections, was initiated to comply with E.O. 14161, Section 2, which directs implementation of uniform vetting standards and necessitates the collection of all information necessary for a rigorous vetting and screening of all grounds of inadmissibility or bases for the denial of immigration-related benefits. See 90 FR 8451 (Jan. 20, 2025). Execution of the E.O. requires USCIS to collect standard data on immigration forms and/or systems to enable USCIS to assess an alien's eligibility to receive an immigration-related benefit from USCIS. This data will be collected from certain populations of individuals on applications for immigration-related benefits and is necessary for the enhanced identity verification, vetting standards, and national security screening and inspection conducted by USCIS and required under the E.O. This data collection is also used to validate an applicant's identity and to help determine whether such grant of a benefit poses a security or public-safety threat to the United States. There were six (6) biographic and employment data elements identified in addition to and separate from the 24 high-value data elements (published in the Federal Register at 90 FR 11054 and 90 FR 42604). These were identified as being needed for further identification and national security vetting and will be added to certain immigration benefit request forms, where the information is not already collected. USCIS is conducting the generic clearance to obtain OMB approval of the new six (6) data elements to be included on the nine impacted forms, where the information is not already collected. The impacted USCIS Forms include: N-400, I-131, I-192, I-485, I-589, I-590, I-730, I-751, and I-829.

Abstract

The Department of Labor (Department), Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is submitting this Information Collection Request (ICR) to implement and collect an annual Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) state plan as described in Section 306(e) of the Social Security Act (SSA). On February 9, 2018, the President signed the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, Public Law 115-123 (BBA), which included amendments to the SSA that create a permanent authorization for the RESEA program. Section 306 of the SSA introduced several new program requirements including the requirement that states must submit an annual state plan to be considered eligible for funding. To be considered eligible for RESEA funding for a Fiscal Year, a state must submit a state plan that outlines how the state intends to conduct a program of reemployment services and eligibility assessments by responding to all the required elements identified in Section 306(e) of the SSA and this ICR.

National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) 2025-2027

Key Information

Abstract

The National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) is an annual collection of state-level finance data that has been included in the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Common Core of Data (CCD) since FY 1982 (school year 1981-82). The U.S. Census Bureau (Census), Economic Reimbursable Surveys Division, administers the NPEFS data collection for NCES under interagency agreement in conjunction with the Local Education Agency (School District) Finance Survey (F-33) (OMB #0607-0700) and the School-Level Finance Survey (SLFS) (OMB #1850-0930). NPEFS is a comprehensive source of state-level finance data for public education collected on a nationwide scale using uniform definitions, concepts, and procedures. The collection includes the revenues, expenditures, and average daily attendance of all publicly funded schools and elementary-secondary local education agencies (LEAs), state payments on behalf of LEAs, and state support for a free public education for students in prekindergarten through 12th grade. In this notice, NCES is announcing its intention to extend the date of clearance for NPEFS, without change, to the currently approved collection. Detailed information about the collection, including the currently approved collection, can be found at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAOMBHistory?ombControlNumber=1850-0067. NPEFS data are used to calculate a state’s “average per-pupil expenditure” (SPPE) for elementary and secondary education, as defined by Title 20 U.S.C., Section 7801, paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 12, 26, and 48. SPPE data are used in calculating allocations for certain formula grant programs, including, but not limited to, Title I, Part A, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), Impact Aid, and Indian Education programs. Other programs, such as the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program under title VII of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants under title IV, part A of the ESEA make use of SPPE data indirectly because their formulas are based, in whole or in part, on State title I, part A, allocations. Data will be collected from State Education Agencies (SEAs) for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. SEAs appoint state fiscal coordinators to work with NCES and the U.S. Census Bureau to provide accurate and comparable data across states and jurisdictions. SEAs typically collect finance data from school districts for their own uses. Many states produce a state-specific chart of accounts or accounting manual to assist school districts in classifying and reporting finance data and producing government-wide financial statements. Uniform definitions and concepts of revenues and expenditures are defined by the NCES handbook Financial Accounting for Local and State School Systems. Comparative data on resources and spending patterns is helpful for states to evaluate the effectiveness of their programs and services. The products of this data collection make it possible for data users to search within a single database to obtain information on such things as instruction and student support services expenditures per pupil; expenditures on salaries and benefits, supplies, and purchased services; and the percent of school system funding from state, local, and federal sources. Education finance statistics provided by this collection allow for state-level comparisons of how public elementary-secondary education systems receive their funding and how they are spending their funds.

Advance Election to Participate Under Section 25F

Key Information

Abstract

Section 25F of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) allows for State to voluntarily elect to participate in advance of providing to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) a list of the scholarship granting organizations (SGOs) that meet the requirements of IRC section 25F(c)(5) and are located in the State. Form 15714 provides an authorized State representative an easy method to elect participation under IRC section 25F. Revenue Procedure 2025-XX provides guidance regarding a procedure for a State to voluntarily elect to participate under IRC section 25F.Emergency Justfication:The Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are requesting, under emergency procedures, a new OMB Control Number 1545-NEW in connection with implementing section 70411 of Public Law 119-21, 139 Stat. 72, 176 (July 4, 2025), commonly known as the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Section 70411 of the OBBBA enacted a new nonrefundable income tax credit (§ 25F credit) under 26 U.S.C. 25F allowable to a taxpayer for a qualified contribution made to a scholarship granting organization (SGO) in a covered state by an individual who is a U.S. citizen or resident under 26 U.S.C. 7701(a)(9). A “covered state” is defined as one of the 50 States or the District of Columbia (State), that, for a calendar year, voluntarily elects to participate under § 25 and provides a list that identifies SGOs in the State for the applicable calendar year. For an individual’s contribution to an SGO to be a qualified contribution eligible for a § 25F credit for a given calendar year, a State must thus voluntarily elect to participate under § 25F and have identified the SGO in accordance with § 25F(g). Section 25F(g)(1) provides that a State that voluntarily elects to participate under § 25F must provide a list of SGOs that meet the requirements described in § 25F(c)(5) and are located in the State by “January 1 of each calendar year (or, with respect to the first calendar year for which this section applies [i.e., 2027], as early as practicable).” The Treasury Department and the IRS have received several comments from States and other stakeholders from around the country regarding the urgency of allowing States to make Advance Elections to identify as a covered state in advance of submitting its SGO list. Specifically, commenters stated that Advance Elections as early as January 1, 2026 are critical to ensuring SGOs can be established and ready to operate by January 1, 2027; that SGOs need time to establish infrastructure and attract donors prior to January 1, 2027; and that potential SGOs need sufficient time to prepare for the commencement of this new tax credit in 2027 by organizing themselves to as valid SGOs, starting to solicit contributions to be received in early 2027, and developing processes to identify and award scholarships in accordance with § 25F. Any potential SGO would be unwilling to invest the necessary effort and cost in commencing these activities without first knowing that a State will be a covered state. Commenters asked that the period for a State to make an Advance Election begin January 1, 2026, to allow time necessary for States, SGOs, parents, students, and donors to prepare for the 2027 inaugural year. To respond to this immediate need of States and SGOs, Rev. Proc. 2025-XX provides procedures for States to make an “Advance Election” to participate under § 25F, beginning on January 1, 2026, which is critical for many States to identify as a covered state in advance of providing the State’s list of SGOs for 2027. Specifically, section 4 of Rev. Proc. 2025-XX allows States to make an Advance Election by submitting Form 15714 on or after January 1, 2026, in advance of the submission of the State’s SGO list for calendar year 2027. Form 15714 for calendar year 2027, and submission instructions, will be available before January 1, 2026, at www.irs.gov. The IRS needs to release Rev. Proc. 2025-XX and Form 15714 as soon as possible so that States have the option to make an Advance Election as early as January 1, 2026, for the benefit of all relevant stakeholders.

[NCHHSTP] CDC Model Performance Evaluation Program (MPEP) for Mycobacterium tuberculosis Drug Susceptibility Testing

Key Information

Abstract

The goal of the study is to collect and analyze the performance and practices of clinical and public health laboratories in the United States that perform drug susceptibility testing of isolates belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), a genetically related group of Mycobacterium species that can cause tuberculosis in humans. The TB Model Performance Evaluation Program (MPEP) assesses the ability of laboratories to test for drug resistant MTBC strains, providing laboratories a self-assessment tool to aid in optimizing their skills in susceptibility testing. This Revision has a few minor edits.

Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) Drug Acquisition Cost Survey (CMS-10931)

Key Information

Abstract

On April 18, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order (E.O.) 14273, “Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First.” Section 5 of the E.O., “Appropriately Accounting for Acquisition Costs of Drugs in Medicare,” directs the Secretary of HHS to publish in the Federal Register a plan to conduct a survey under section 1833(t)(14)(D)(ii) of the Act so he can determine the hospital acquisition cost for covered outpatient drugs at hospital outpatient departments. This survey corresponds to this executive order. The acquisition cost data hospitals submit in response to this survey will be considered when formulating proposed payment rates for drug payment under the Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS). The respondents of the survey will be the approximately 4,500 hospitals that are paid under the OPPS.

National Medical Support Notice-Part B

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to section 401(a) of the CSPIA, the Department of Labor (the Department) and HHS jointly promulgated the National Medical Support Notice Final Rule on December 27, 2000 (65 FR 82128) (NMSN Regulation). The NMSN Regulation simplifies the issuance and processing of medical child support orders; standardizes communication between State agencies, employers, and Plan Administrators; and creates a uniform and streamlined process for enforcement of medical child support to ensure that all eligible children receive the health care coverage to which they are entitled. The NMSN Regulation, codified at 29 CFR 2590.609-2, includes a model National Medical Support Notice (NMSN) that is comprised of two parts: part A is a notice from the State agency to the employer, entitled: “Notice to Withhold for Health Care Coverage;” and part B is a notice from the employer to the Plan Administrator, entitled: “Medical Support Notice to Plan Administrator.” Both parts have detailed instructions informing the recipient to whom responses are due depending on varying circumstances. This ICR addresses the Plan Administrator's responsibilities under NMSN Regulation to complete part B of the NMSN, the “Plan Administrator Response,” pursuant to the CSPIA and section 609(a)(5)(C) of title I of ERISA. The “Plan Administrator Response” in part B of the NMSN requires the Plan Administrator to provide information verifying whether the child is or will be receiving health care coverage from the group health plan. If enrollment has already occurred or can begin immediately, the Plan Administrator's response in part B serves as notice to the State agency, the participant (parent), the child, their non-participant parent or guardian and the employer that the child is or will begin receiving dependent health care coverage pursuant to the group health plan. When the child is eligible for more than one coverage option, the Administrator must first send the part B response to the State agency so that the agency may choose one option. The Plan Administrator must also use the part B response to notify all of the above-affected persons of any waiting period before enrollment of the child can occur.

Agent/Broker Data Collection in Federally-facilitated Health Insurance Exchanges (CMS-10464)

Key Information

Abstract

The Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO), the agency within Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) charged with helping implement many provisions of the Affordable Care Act including the establishment of Affordable Insurance Exchanges (Exchanges), needs to collect data from individual agent/brokers to register them with the Federally-facilitated Exchange (FFE) and provide the required training in Exchange enrollment policies and procedures. Both section 1312(e) of the Affordable Care Act and 45 CFR ?155.220 permit States to allow agent/brokers to enroll individuals, employers, and employees in Qualified Health Plans (QHPs), including through the Exchanges; and assist individuals in applying for advance payments of the premium tax credit and cost-sharing reductions. Agent/brokers will serve as additional access points to the Exchange for individuals or SHOP employers/employees requiring or desiring agent/broker assistance. Agent/brokers must register with the FFE and meet training requirements that enforce their understanding of eligibility and enrollment in Exchanges prior to enrolling individuals or SHOP employer/employees in QHPs through the Exchanges. They must also apply this understanding to the development of any non-Exchange Web site used as a tool for enrollment. Agent/broker designed and administered web sites or tools will improve the flow of information to the FFE, and State-based Exchanges may also find these tools useful toward streamlining data submissions and easing the burden on the Exchange. The collection of information from agent/brokers described in detail below is needed to register and completion training with the FFE. Collected information will be used by CMS/CCIIO to verify the completion of the training requirement, provide the public with a list of registered agent/brokers trained in Exchange enrollment requirements and functions, and perform oversight of agent/brokers operating through the FFE.
