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.

Vehicle Loan Interest

Key Information

Abstract

IRS Section 6050AA requires information reporting with respect to interest received on a specified passenger vehicle loan. Recipients of this interest are required to file an information return to the IRS and furnish a statement to individuals who pay or accrue the interest during a calendar year. The reporting requirements of section 6050AA allow the IRS to verify recipients’ compliance with the information reporting rules and to verify that individuals deduct the proper amount of interest on their tax return.Emergency Justfication:The Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are requesting a new OMB Control Number 1545-NEW, Vehicle Loan Interest Statement, under emergency procedures in connection with provisions of section 70203 of Public Law 119-21, 139 Stat. 72, 176 (July 4, 2025), commonly known as the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Section 163(h)(4) allows a deduction for qualified passenger vehicle loan interest. Section 6050AA requires information reporting with respect to interest received on a specified passenger vehicle loan. Recipients of this interest are required to file an information return to the IRS and furnish a statement to individuals who pay or accrue the interest during a calendar year. For interest received on a specified passenger vehicle loan in 2025, the information return must be filed on or before February 28, 2026 (March 31, 2026, if filed electronically), and the written statement must be furnished on or before January 31, 2026. Notice 2025-57 sets forth that the recipient of such interest will be deemed to have satisfied the reporting obligations under §6050AA for interest received on a specified passenger vehicle loan in 2025 if the recipient makes a statement available to the individual indicating the total amount of interest received in calendar year 2025 on a specified passenger vehicle loan. If the interest recipient satisfies this requirement, the IRS will not impose penalties under §§6721 and 6722 for a failure to file information returns and furnish payee statements under §6050AA with respect to interest received in 2025. The OBBBA was signed into law on July 4, 2025, and §163(h)(4), as amended, and new §6050AA apply to indebtedness incurred after December 31, 2024. Accordingly, recipients of interest have an immediate need for guidance about their information reporting obligations. The IRS needs to publish Notice 2025-57 as soon as possible, so that recipients of specified passenger vehicle loan interest can make the necessary changes to their systems to comply with their new reporting responsibilities under §6050AA for interest received in 2025. In addition, individuals need information on how much interest they paid or accrued in 2025 in order to claim the deduction allowable under §163(h)(4) on their individual income tax returns for taxable year 2025. Following normal Paperwork Reduction Act clearance procedures would thus result in harm to recipients of specified passenger vehicle loan interest who would be unable to timely make the necessary changes to their systems to comply with their new reporting responsibilities for interest received in 2025. Therefore, due to the extraordinary circumstances and statutory deadlines for implementing §6050AA, the Treasury and IRS request emergency processing of this information collection request by October 21, 2025 and approval for 180 days. Given the inability to seek public comment during such a short timeframe, IRS also respectfully requests a waiver from the requirement to publish a notice in the Federal Register seeking public comment during the period of Office of Management and Budget review. However, public comment will be solicited in conjunction with the subsequent extension of the approval to collect this information on the new Vehicle Loan Interest Statement which is being developed for this purpose in future years. The Treasury Department consulted with multiple stakeholder groups, including the National Automobile Dealers Association and the American Financial Services Association, in order to understand their operations so as to be able to minimize the burden of the collection of information. The Treasury Department also consulted with other interested agencies, including NHTSA, DOT, and IRS, in order to help streamline the process and make it easier for affected parties to comply with their reporting obligations.

Patent Review and Derivation Proceedings

Key Information

Abstract

The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, which was enacted into law on September 16, 2011, provided for many changes to the procedures of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB” or “Board,” formerly the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences) procedures. These changes included the introduction of inter partes review, post-grant review, derivation proceedings, and the transitional program for covered business method patents. Under these administrative trial proceedings, third parties may file a petition with the PTAB challenging the validity of issued patents, with each proceeding having different requirements regarding timing restrictions, grounds for challenging validity, and who may request review. Inter partes review is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent only on a ground that could be raised under §§ 102 or 103, and only on the basis of prior art consisting of patents or printed publications. Post grant review is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent on any ground that could be raised under § 282(b)(2) or (3). A derivation proceeding is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to determine whether (1) an inventor named in an earlier application derived the claimed invention from an inventor named in the petitioner’s application, and (2) the earlier application claiming such invention was filed without authorization. The transitional program for covered business method patents is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a covered business method patent. The covered business method program expired on September 16, 2020 and the Board no longer accepts new petitions related to this program, but continues to accept papers in previously-instituted proceedings. This information collection covers information submitted by the public to petition the Board to initiate an inter partes review, post-grant review, derivation proceeding, and the transitional program for covered business method patents, as well as any responses to such petitions, and the filing of any motions, replies, oppositions, and other actions, after a review/proceeding has been instituted.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2026 Amendment 2

Key Information

Abstract

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a federally authorized survey of student achievement at grades 4, 8, and 12 in various subject areas, such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, U.S. history, and civics. The National Assessment of Educational Progress Authorization Act (Pub. L. 107–279, title III, section 303) requires the assessment to collect data on specified student groups and characteristics, including information organized by race/ethnicity, sex, socio-economic status, disability, and limited English proficiency. It requires fair and accurate presentation of achievement data and permits the collection of background, noncognitive, or descriptive information that is related to academic achievement and aids in fair reporting of results. The intent of the law is to provide representative sample data on student achievement for the nation, the states, and subpopulations of students and to monitor progress over time. NAEP consists of two assessment programs: the NAEP long-term trend (LTT) assessment and the main NAEP assessment. The LTT assessments are given at the national level only and are administered to students at ages 9, 13, and 17 in a manner that is very different from that used for the main NAEP assessments. LTT reports mathematics and reading results that present trend data since the 1970s. In addition to the operational assessments, NAEP uses two other kinds of assessment activities: pilot assessments and special studies. Pilot assessments test items and procedures for future administrations of NAEP, while special studies (e.g., the Middle School Transcript Study (MSTS), and the High School Transcript Study (HSTS)) are opportunities for NAEP to investigate particular aspects of the assessment without impacting the reporting of the NAEP results.  This request is a second Amendment to the initially approved NAEP 2026 Clearance Package (OMB# 1850-0928 v.36) to conduct NAEP in 2026, specifically: (1) Main NAEP operational assessments will include for grades 4 and 8 (first administration of the new frameworks for reading and mathematics), grade 8 (civics and U.S. history); in Puerto Rico, grades 4 and 8 mathematics will be the only subject assessed and will include the new framework; (2) Pilot testing in grades 4, 8, and 12 (reading and mathematics); in Puerto Rico, grades 4 and 8 mathematics will be the only subject assessed. All documents in this package are the finalized materials to be used for the data collection in early 2026. Specifically, this Amendment includes the following updates: 1. Appendix D: updates to the eNAEP Download Center and the preassessment guides, 2. Appendices J1, J2, J3, J-S: editorial updates to several survey questionnaire items, 3. Appendix C: the sampling memo, and 4. Appendix I: all finalized AMS screens that will be accessed and used by school staff for the NAEP assessment. As of April 2025, NCES’s assurances of confidentiality protections for NAEP 2026 have changed due to recent staffing changes at the Department of Education. NCES has removed the Foundations of Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018, Title III, Part B, Confidential Information Protection (‘‘CIPSEA’’) as a confidentiality assurance. However, confidentiality assurances under the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA) remain in effect.

Intermittent Survey of Businesses

Key Information

Abstract

The survey data are used to gather information to enable the Federal Reserve System (System) to carry out its policy and operational responsibilities. Under the guidance of the Board, Reserve Banks survey business contacts as economic developments warrant. Usually, these voluntary surveys are conducted by telephoning or e-mailing purchasing managers, economists, or other knowledgeable individuals at selected, relevant businesses. Reserve Banks may also use online survey tools to collect responses to the survey. The frequency and content of the questions, as well as the entities contacted, vary depending on developments in the economy. These surveys are conducted to provide Board members and Reserve Bank presidents real-time insights into economic conditions. The Board tailors these survey questions to match current concerns and interests, but they are not meant to supplant the more rigorous, existing economic reporting. The Board collects individual responses from the Reserve Banks and then distributes aggregate information to Board members and Reserve Bank presidents.

The purpose of the mChoice project is to rigorously evaluate the use of provider and patient education and support tools in clinical settings to increase PrEP screening, counseling, initiation, adherence, and persistence by MSM. This research project will involve interaction with human participants and intends to collect new individually identifiable data and biospecimens from the participants. This project is considered human subjects research and will be covered by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The mChoice intervention will target healthcare providers and PrEP users. The study will provide training to healthcare providers to improve knowledge of PrEP clinical guidelines and enhance provider communications with their patients. PrEP users will receive CleverCap, an electronic medication monitoring device that is linked to the CleverCap mobile phone application that provides medication dispensing information and reminders to support medication adherence, as well as health information and appointment reminders. This non-substantive change request is submitted to modify data collection documents for compliance with EO 14168 following Reinstatement. The burden remains the same.

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR requests an extension without change for OMB Control No. 2132-0561, Fixed Guideway Capital Investment Grants (CIG) Program (49 U.S.C. § 5309). The CIG program provides discretionary funding for fixed-guideway projects such as rapid rail, commuter rail, light rail, streetcar, ferry, and corridor-based bus rapid transit that emulate rail features. Program applicants (state and local governments, transit agencies) must submit multi-year, multi-step project information annually to demonstrate eligibility and compete for funding. Required submissions include project background, operating and maintenance cost estimates, project justification (mobility and congestion benefits, land use and environmental impacts), and documentation of local financial commitment. FTA staff and contracted reviewers use the information to evaluate, rate, and advance projects through the CIG process. There have been no statutory or programmatic changes to the collection; however, a data-driven reassessment of respondent activities and time estimates has reduced the estimated burden hours in this submission. Labor rates have been updated.

Key Information

Abstract

Under sections 1401, 1411, and 1412 of the Affordable Care Act and 45 CFR part 155 subpart D, an Exchange makes an advance determination of tax credit eligibility for individuals who enroll in QHP coverage through the Exchange and seek financial assistance. Using information available at the time of enrollment, the Exchange determines whether the individual meets the income and other requirements for advance payments and the amount of the advance payments that can be used to pay premiums. Advance payments are made periodically under section 1412 of the Affordable Care Act to the issuer of the QHP in which the individual enrolls. Section 1402 of the Affordable Care Act provides for the reduction of cost sharing for certain individuals enrolled in a QHP through an Exchange, and section 1412 of the Affordable Care Act provides for the advance payment of these reductions to issuers. The statute directs issuers to reduce cost sharing for essential health benefits for individuals with household incomes between 100 and 400 percent of the Federal poverty level (FPL) who are enrolled in a silver level QHP through an individual market Exchange and are eligible for advance payments of the premium tax credit. Health insurance issuers will manually enter enrollment and payment data into a Microsoft Excel-based spreadsheet, and submit the information to HHS. The data collection will be used by HHS to make payments or collect charges from issuers under the following programs: advance payments of the premium tax credit, advanced cost-sharing reductions, and Marketplace user fees. HHS will use the information collected to make payments and collect charges in January 2014 and for a number of months thereafter, as may be required based on HHS's operational progress.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Swap Dealer and Major Swap Participant Conflicts of Interest and Business Conduct Standards with Counterparties

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission has adopted Subpart H of Part 23 of its regulations (EBCS Rules) and Commission regulation 23.605, requiring swap dealers and major swap participants to follow specified procedures and provide specified disclosures in their dealings with counter-parties, to adopt and implement conflicts of interest procedures and disclosures, and to maintain specified records related to those requirements. In addition, the Commission recently finalized certain exceptions from the EBCS Rules for certain foreign swaps in § 23.23(e). To the extent a swap dealer or major swap participant avails itself of one or more of these exceptions, when effective, § 23.23(h)(1) imposes information collection requirements in lieu of such requirements in the EBCS Rules. The information collection obligations imposed by the regulations are essential to ensuring that swap dealers and major swap participants develop and maintain procedures and disclosures required by the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and Commission regulations. In its notice of proposed rulemaking (the “Proposal”), the Commission proposes to (1) amend certain business conduct standards for SDs and MSPs (together “Swap Entities”) in their dealings with counterparties contained in the EBCS Rules; and (2) amend the swap trading relationship documentation rule for Swap Entities in existing Commission regulation 23.504. These amendments would provide exceptions to compliance with such requirements when executing swaps that are: (1) intended by the parties to be cleared contemporaneously with execution; or (2) subject to prime broker arrangements that meet certain qualifying conditions. These proposed amendments, if adopted, are intended to supersede the Market Participants Division’s (“MPD”) no-action positions contained in CFTC Staff Letters 12-58, 13-11, 13-12, 19-06, and 23-01 (collectively, the “Covered Staff Letters”) and to make other adjustments to such rules in order to harmonize such requirements with those of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board to reduce administrative burdens on dually-registered entities.

First Amendment to Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for the Collocation of Wireless Antennas

Key Information

Abstract

On August 3, 2016, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (Council or ACHP), and the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO) executed the First Amendment to Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for the Collocation of Wireless Antennas (First Amendment) to address the review of deployments of small wireless antennas and associated equipment under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (54 U.S.C. 306108 (formerly codified at 16 U.S.C. 470f). The FCC, the Council, and NCSHPO agreed to amend the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for the Collocation of Wireless Antennas (Collocation Agreement) to account for the limited potential of small wireless antennas and associated equipment, including Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and small cell facilities, to affect historic properties. The First Amendment to the Collocation Agreement amends the Collocation Agreement, which is codified at 47 CFR, part 1, Appendix B.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Medicare Part D Manufacturer Discount Program Agreement - IRA (CMS-10846)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 11201 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), eliminates the coverage gap phase of the Part D benefit and sunsets the coverage gap discount program after December 31, 2024, and amends the Social Security Act (the Act) to add §1860D-14C, requiring the Secretary to establish a new Medicare Part D manufacturer discount program (Discount Program) beginning January 1, 2025. Under the Discount Program, participating manufacturers are required to provide discounts on their “applicable drugs” (brand drugs, biologics, and biosimilars) both in the initial coverage phase and in the catastrophic coverage phase of the Part D benefit. Section 1860D-14C(d)(1) of the Act requires CMS to implement and administer the Discount Program, including determining discounted amounts, and ensuring that discounts are applied appropriately and payments/reimbursements are timely made. As with the existing coverage gap discount program, a CMS contractor will serve as the third party administrator (TPA) and facilitate payment processing. Information in this collection is needed to set up agreements between manufacturers and CMS, as required under §1860D-14C(a) of the Act. Such agreements are required in order for manufacturers to participate in the Discount Program and, under §1860D43(a), for their applicable drugs to be covered under Part D beginning in 2025. Information that will be collected from manufacturers in the Health Plan Management System (HPMS) (Appendix A) is needed to create and execute Discount Program agreements and to determine which manufacturers qualify as a specified manufacturer or specified small manufacturer for phased-in discounts, as described at §1860D-14C(g)(4). Banking information collected by the TPA from manufacturers and plan sponsors (Appendix B) is needed to prepare invoices and process financial transactions (deposits and payments) through the automated clearing house (ACH).
