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, or 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.
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.

Notices Relating to Payment of Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax by Electronic Fund Transfer
Key Information
Abstract
Under the Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 6302, TTB collects the firearms and ammunition excise tax imposed by 26 U.S.C. 4181 on the basis of a return that taxpayers file on a quarterly basis. Section 6302 also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations concerning the payment of taxes by electronic funds transfer (EFT). Under the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 53, taxpayers who elect to begin or discontinue payment of firearms and ammunition excise taxes by EFT must furnish a written notice to TTB regarding such actions. TTB uses those notifications to anticipate and monitor firearms and ammunition excise tax payments to ensure compliance with Federal law. |

Tobacco Export Warehouse--Record of Operations (TTB REC 5220/1)
Key Information
Abstract
In general, chapter 52 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC, 26 U.S.C. chapter 52) imposes Federal excise tax on all tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes manufactured in, or imported into, the United States, while exempting such articles removed for export, as well as all processed tobacco, from that tax. Export warehouses receive and store such non-taxpaid articles until they are removed without payment of tax for export to a foreign country, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, or for consumption beyond the internal revenue laws of the United States. To protect the revenue, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5741 requires tobacco industry members, including export warehouse proprietors, to keep records as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 44 require export warehouse proprietors to keep records showing the date, kind, quantity, and manufacturer of all tobacco products, cigarette papers and tubes, and processed tobacco received, removed, transferred, destroyed, lost, or returned to the manufacturer or to a customs bonded warehouse proprietor. The required records are necessary to protect the revenue as they allow transactions involving non-taxpaid articles to be traced and verified to ensure that no Federal excise tax liabilities were incurred through the diversion of such articles to taxable uses. |

Records of Operations--Manufacturer of Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco (TTB REC 5210/1)
Key Information
Abstract
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5741 requires manufacturers of tobacco products, cigarette papers or tubes, or processed tobacco to keep records as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 40 require such manufacturers to keep daily records regarding raw materials received and products manufactured, removed, returned, consumed, transferred, destroyed, lost, or disclosed as shortages. Those regulations provide that manufacturers may use usual and customary commercial records to keep and maintain the required data, provided that TTB may readily ascertain the information. Also, manufacturers must maintain the required records for 3 years and make them available for TTB inspection upon request. This information collection is necessary to protect the revenue as it provides accountability over the receipt, production, and disposition of taxable tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, and over processed tobacco that, while not subject to tax, may be diverted to the illegal manufacture of taxable tobacco products. |

Retail Liquor Dealers Records of Receipts of Alcoholic Beverages and Commercial Invoices (TTB REC 5170/03)
Key Information
Abstract
Under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5122, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 31 require retail alcohol beverage dealers to keep records showing the quantities of all distilled spirits, wines, and beer received, including information on from whom and when the products were received. Those regulations also require such dealers to keep records of all alcohol beverage sales of 20 or more wine gallons made to the same person at the same time. At the retail dealer’s discretion, those records may consist of commercial invoices or a book containing the required information, which the dealer must maintain at their place of business or at an alternate location under the dealer’s control approved by TTB. In addition, under the authority of the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5123, the part 31 regulations also require retail dealers to maintain the required records for at least 3 years, during which period they must be made available for TTB inspection during business hours. TTB uses the required information to ensure that the relevant provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied. |

Distilled Spirits Plants - Excise Taxes (TTB REC 5110/06)
Key Information
Abstract
Under chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), distilled spirits produced or imported into the United States are subject to Federal excise tax, which is determined at the time the spirits are withdrawn from bond and which is paid by return, subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. In addition, a credit may be taken against that tax for the portion of a distilled spirits product’s alcohol content derived from wine or flavors. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 19 and 26 require distilled spirits excise taxpayers to keep certain records in support of the information provided on their excise tax returns, including information on the distilled spirits removed from their premises and the products’ applicable tax rates, as well as records related to nontaxable removals, shortages, and losses. The required records are necessary to protect the revenue as TTB uses the data collected to ensure the appropriate amount of tax is paid, to verify claims for refunds or remission of tax, and to account for the transfer of certain distilled spirits excise taxes to the governments of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. |

Shake Alert
Key Information
Abstract
Abstract The ShakeAlert system was established in compliance with the following authorities • 42 USC 68 Disaster Relief Act §5132. Disaster warnings • 42 USC 7701 Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act 2004.§7701. The collection of information is necessary as its findings has the potential to save lives Readiness of Federal agencies to issue warnings to State and local officials. The President shall insure that all appropriate Federal agencies are prepared to issue warnings of disasters to State and local officials. As the earthquake detection improves, the messages to populations can save lives by providing seconds of warning that strong shaking from an earthquake is coming. These seconds of extra warning can help people take protective actions, like Drop, Cover, and Hold On (DCHO) to reduce their risk of personal injury. Because seconds matter with ShakeAlert, we need to understand more about how the various parts of the alerting system work and what technical latencies or lag times exist. Without these studies, we would not understand how much time it will take for a Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) to arrive on the devices of people. This critical information allows to better understand the channels that will be using ShakeAlerts, to determine how long it will take for people to receive the messages, so we can assist in providing information on the best protective actions in their circumstance. |

TSCA Section 5 Premanufacture Review of New Chemical Substances and Significant New Use Rules for New and Existing Chemical Substances (Final Rule)
Key Information
Abstract
This revised information collection request updates addresses the reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated with the proposed rule to update the new chemicals procedural regulations at 40 CFR Parts 720, 721, 723, and 725 under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The amendments included under this new chemicals procedural rule cover several goals, including in part to align the regulatory text with the amendments to TSCA’s new chemical review provisions contained in the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, enacted on June 22, 2016 (15 U.S.C. 2604); increase the quality of information initially submitted in new chemicals notices, to reduce the need to update risk assessments if new information is received later in the process, and, ultimately, to reduce the length of time that new chemicals are under review for notices submitted under TSCA section 5(a)(1); and to update the regulations for low volume exemptions (LVEs) and low release and exposure exemptions (LoREXs) to make perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) ineligible for these exemptions and to codify the ineligibility for these exemptions of certain persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) chemical substances as described in EPA’s 1999 PBT policy. |

Aircraft Engines - Supplemental Information Related to Exhaust Emissions (Renewal)
Key Information
Abstract
This information collection is being conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPAs) Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) pursuant to section 114 of the Clean Air Act, as amended (CAA or the Act) to assist the Administrator of EPA in developing emissions standards and/or to inform future policy making decisions for aircraft gas turbine engines pursuant to section 231 of the Act. Under CAA section 231, the EPA is responsible for establishing standards for emissions from aircraft engines, and under CAA section 232, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for enforcing these standards. The EPA and the FAA traditionally work within the standard-setting process of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to establish international emission standards and related requirements, which individual nations later adopt into domestic law in fulfillment of their obligations under the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention). Historically, international emission standards have first been adopted by ICAO, and subsequently the EPA has initiated rulemakings under CAA section 231 to establish domestic standards that are at least as stringent as ICAOs standards. |

Key Information
Abstract
The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Flexible Vinyl and Urethane Coating and Printing were proposed on January 18, 1983, promulgated on June 29, 1984, and amended on October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to facilities with rotogravure printing lines used to print or coat flexible vinyl or urethane products for which construction, modification or reconstruction commenced after January 18, 1983. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart FFF. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. |
