Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
ICR Definition
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.
Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify, or discontinue 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.
ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.

Federal Register Notices
Authorizing StatutesAbstractTitle XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) (12 U.S.C. § 3331 et seq.) requires that, for federally related transactions, regulated institutions obtain real estate appraisals performed by certified or licensed appraisers in conformance with uniform appraisal standards. The Board’s regulations implementing Title XI of FIRREA, contained in the Board’s Regulation Y - Bank Holding Companies and Change in Bank Control (12 CFR Part 225), include certain recordkeeping requirements that apply to state member banks (SMBs), bank holding companies (BHC), and nonbank subsidiaries of BHCs that extend mortgage credit (together, institutions). The Board and other supervisory agencies also have issued Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines (the Guidelines) that convey supervisory expectations relating to real estate appraisals and evaluations used to support real estate-related financial transactions. These Guidelines recommend that institutions adopt certain policies and procedures to ensure compliance with Title XI of FIRREA and Regulation Y. |

Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes26 USC 5051, 5415, and 7652 (View Law) AbstractThe Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5415 requires that all brewers furnish reports of operations and transactions in the manner, at the times, and for such periods as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under that authority, the TTB regulations require brewers to file monthly operations reports using TTB F 5130.9, Brewer's Report of Operations, if they anticipate an annual Federal excise tax liability of $50,000 or more for beer in a given calendar year. For brewers that anticipate a liability of less than $50,000 for such taxes in a given year and that had such liability the previous year, the TTB regulations require such brewers to file quarterly operations reports using TTB F 5130.9 or the simplified TTB F 5130.26, Quarterly Brewer's Report of Operations. The information collected from brewers on their operations reports regarding the amount of beer they produce, receive, return, remove, transfer, destroy, or otherwise gain or dispose of is necessary to protect the revenue and ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements. |

Application for Basic Permit under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act
Key Information
Federal Register Notices
Authorizing Statutes27 USC 203 & 204 (View Law) AbstractSection 103 of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act, 27 U.S.C. 203) requires that a person must apply to the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary) for a "basic permit" before beginning business as: (1) An importer into the United States of distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages; (2) a producer of distilled spirits or wine; or (3) a wholesaler of distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages. In addition, section 104 of the FAA Act (27 U.S.C. 204) prescribes who is and who is not entitled to a basic permit, and it authorizes the Secretary to prescribe the manner and form of, and the information required for, basic permit applications. Under those FAA Act authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 1, subpart C, require that new applications for FAA Act basic permits be made on form TTB F 5100.24. The collection information enables TTB to determine the location of the business, its ownership or control, the extent of its operations, and if the applicant is qualified under the FAA Act to receive a new basic permit. Basic permit qualifications help ensure that alcohol beverage industry members are likely to operate their businesses in conformity with Federal laws and regulations related to the labeling, advertising and marketing of alcohol beverage products, as well as those related to alcohol excise tax liability and payment. |

Each statute also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations related to such activities. As such, the TTB regulations require alcohol beverage producers and importers to obtain formula approval for certain non-standard or non-traditional products to ensure that such products are properly classified for excise tax purposes under the IRC and properly labeled under the FAA Act. Currently, in lieu of the formula forms and letterhead notices specified in the TTB regulations for each alcohol commodity (distilled spirits, wine, and beer/malt beverages), which are approved under separate OMB control numbers, respondents, as an alternate procedure, may submit TTB F 5100.51 or its electronic equivalent in Formulas Online (FONL), as approved under this OMB control number. |

If the information is not collected, HRSA will not be in compliance with 45 CFR 75 Subpart F and will limit HRSA’s ability to monitor the Federal programs. In addition, HRSA’s ability to conduct delinquent audit follow-up on appropriate entities will be jeopardized if we cannot verify who has submitted their audit. There would be a harm to the public if this collection is not approved because HRSA would be delayed in following 45 CFR 75 Subpart F and recovering federal funds not utilized in accordance with the Provider Relief Program Terms and Conditions. |
Why They Are Important
ICRs play a vital role in ensuring transparency and accountability in federal data collection. When federal agencies collect information from 10 or more "persons" (which includes individuals,
businesses, and state, local, and tribal governments), they must submit an ICR to ensure that it fulfills their statutory missions, avoids unnecessary or duplicative requests, and
minimizes burden on the American public. Additionally, Federal Register Notices (FRNs) and the opportunity for public comments provide a formal way for the public to be informed of
proposed ICRs and participate in the process.
ICRs also serve as a key resource for tracking changes to federal data collections. The availability of detailed documentation, such as data collection instruments and methodologies,
allows the general public to identify revisions in a timely manner. These may include revisions prompted by Executive Orders or statistical policies like
OMB's Statistical Policy Directive No. 15 (SPD 15), which are often submitted as "nonsubstantive" or "nonmaterial" changes to a
currently approved collection.[1] Furthermore, ICRs can help determine if a data collection has expired without renewal or has been intentionally
discontinued. By reviewing ICRs, the public can better understand what data is being collected, how it evolves over time, and whether data collections have become inactive–often in response
to shifting priorities and updated standards.
How To Use The Tool
The ICR tracking tool offers a user-friendly view of ICRs that have been recently submitted, reviewed, or are nearing expiration. By aggregating key data from individual ICRs,
the tool allows users to view the current status of each request, including submission, conclusion, and expiration dates, details on whether any changes were made, authorizing statutes,
and more. Users can search for specific information and filter results based on various criteria. If seeking additional information, various text fields are hyperlinked to the full ICR
on RegInfo.gov and associated resources. The tool is updated on a daily basis to reflect the most current information available.
