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.

Taxation of Gain or Loss from Certain Nonfunctional Currency Transactions (Section 988 Transactions)

Key Information

Abstract

Treasury Decision (TD) 8400 contains previously approved final regulations regarding the taxation of gain or loss from certain foreign currency transactions under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 988 and applies to taxpayers engaging in such transactions. Such gains and losses are characterized as ordinary income or loss. However, under IRC section 988(a)(1)(B), taxpayers may elect to characterize exchange gain or loss on certain transactions as capital gain or loss. Treasury Regulations section 1.988-3(b) provides the procedure for making the election. Under IRC section 988(c)(1)(D)(ii), taxpayers may elect to have regulated futures contracts and certain options (which generally are not subject to section 988) treated as section 988 transactions. Treasury Regulations sections 1.988-1(a)(7)(iii) and (iv) provide the procedure for making that election. Under IRC section 988(c)(1)(E)(iii), a qualified fund may elect out of section 988 with respect to certain financial transactions. Treasury Regulations section 1.988-1(a)(8)(iv) provides the procedure for making that election. Under IRC section 988(d), taxpayers may receive special treatment allowing integration with respect to certain borrowings and property if the transactions are properly identified. The identification rules are in Treasury Regulations sections 1.988-5(a)(8), 1.988-5(b)(3), and 1.988-5(c)(2). Treasury Regulations section 1.988-2(a)(2)(v) allows an accrual basis taxpayer to make an election that provides special translation rules regarding the purchase and sale of stock or securities traded on an established securities market. Treasury Regulations section 1.988-2(b)(2)(iii)(B) provides an election allowing the translation of interest income and expense using a spot accrual convention.

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.

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.

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.

Rule 12d1-3

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.

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.

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.

Letterhead Applications and Notices Relating to Wine (TTB REC 5120/2)

Key Information

Abstract

Various provisions of chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC; 26 U.S.C. chapter 51) govern aspects of the production, treatment, and labeling of wine or authorize the Secretary of Treasury (the Secretary) to issue regulations regarding such matters. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 24 require wine premise proprietors to submit letterhead applications or notices to TTB when they desire to use alternate regulatory compliance methods or procedures or when they desire to undertake certain specified operations, particularly those that affect a wine's potential tax liability. In general, operations posing a greater jeopardy to the revenue require submission of letterhead applications subject to TTB approval, while operations posing less jeopardy to the revenue require submission of letterhead notices that do not require TTB pre-approval. This information collection is necessary to ensure that proposed alternative methods or procedures and wine operations comply with relevant laws and regulations, and do not jeopardize the revenue.

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.

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.

Earthquake Hazards Program Research and Monitoring

Key Information

Abstract

Research and monitoring findings are essential to fulfilling USGS's responsibility under the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act to develop earthquake hazard assessments and recording and reporting earthquake activity nationwide. Residents, emergency responders, and engineers rely on the USGS for this accurate and scientifically sound information. Respondents to Program Announcements submit proposals to support research and monitoring related to earthquake hazard assessments, earthquake causes and effects, and earthquake monitoring. This information is used as the basis for selection and award of projects meeting the USGS's Earthquake Hazards Program objectives. Final reports of research and monitoring findings are required for each funded proposal; annual progress reports are required for awards of a two- to five-year duration. Final reports are made available to the public at the website http://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/external/.

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.
