Information Collection Request (ICR) Tracker
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.

| 201911-1651-001 | Section 321 E-Commerce Data | DHS/USCBP | 2020-01-14 | 2025-09-30 | New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
Section 321 E-Commerce Data
Key Information
Abstract
CBP faces significant challenges in targeting Section 321 shipments, while still maintaining the clearance speeds the private sector has come to expect. This is because CBP does not receive adequate advance information in order to effectively and efficiently assess the security risk of the approximately 1.8 million Section 321 shipments that arrive each day. This pilot is conducted pursuant to 19 CFR 101.9(a), which authorizes the Commissioner to impose requirements different from those specified in the CBP regulations for the purposes of conducting a test program or procedure designed to evaluate the effectiveness of new technology or operational procedures regarding the processing of passengers, vessels, or merchandise. This information will help CBP better target examination resources toward shipments that might pose a violation risk. By testing this information, CBP will take its first step in determining whether to amend the regulations to mandate specific data elements for shipments eligible for Section 321 release. |

Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft Systems -Application for FAA-Recognized Identification Areas
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
Community based organizations, that desire to obtain and maintain a designation for an FAA-recognized identification area are required to report information to this collection. Applications would permit community based organizations recognized by the Administrator to apply for FAA-recognized identification area status. The FAA is proposing to collect the information to provide an opportunity for operators of UAS without remote identification equipment (such as vintage, homebuilt, or other legacy aircraft manufactured before the effective date of the Remote Identification rule) to comply with the intent of the proposed rule. Supplying the necessary information to the FAA would enable the agency to determine whether certain flying sites qualify under relevant safety, security, and eligibility criteria for establishment as FAA-recognized identification areas where UAS could operate without remote identification. The FAA will use the information to consider initial requests for FAA establishment of a flying site, requests for renewal of FAA-recognized identification areas, and amendments to requests for establishment. If the information collection was not conducted, the FAA would not have the necessary data to make a safety determination whether to establish certain flying sites as areas where UAS without remote identification can operate. This would result in all UAS having to equip with remote identification capabilities. |

Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program: Applications for Subawards November Launch
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
Abstract
To meet the goals and objectives that demonstrate the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPAs) and the Administrations commitment to achieving environmental justice and embedding environmental justice into Agency programs, the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program provides about $600 million in 11 cooperative agreements funding to Grantmakers who will function as pass-through entities for the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Subgrants (2 CFR Parts 200 and 1500). Each Grantmaker will collaborate with EPA to design and build their own processes to receive and evaluate applications to fund the initial development of community-led environmental justice projects.Emergency Justfication:With this Information Collection Request (ICR), EPA seeks emergency clearance by October 31, 2024 for six Grantmakers to solicit applications for their first round of subgrants to be launched in October 2024. EPA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the time between the Grantmakers receipt of their funding awards and the launch of their subaward programs (3 months) does not allow sufficient time to obtain PRA clearance using the standard ICR process (which typically takes 6-9 months). Collection of the information requested under this emergency clearance (i.e., applications) is essential for the Grantmakers to have a mechanism for selecting and distributing subaward grants to fund environmental justice projects in underserved communities, thus fulfilling the central objective of the program. The six-month emergency clearance period will cover the first round of subaward applications that will be solicited by six Grantmakers in October 2024. Subsequent rounds of applications for these six Grantmakers will be authorized via a Standard ICR package for the Grantmaking Program that will be submitted for review via the standard ICR approval process. |

Third Party Authorization Form
Key Information
Abstract
This is a request for a new information collection for a third-party authorization form to be used by federal student loan borrowers to designate or revoke a designation of an individual or organization to represent the borrower in matters related to their federally held student loans. The Department has revised the initially proposed form. This revised form will continue to standardize the way that borrowers provide privacy act releases and authorization for a third party to take action on borrowers’ federal student loan accounts held by various servicers. This will standardize processes and help borrowers and their third-party representatives when loans transfer between servicers. This information collection stems from the Privacy Act of 1974 and the common law legal principles of agency, which is not reflected in the Department’s statute or regulations, but with which the Department must comply or which the Department supports. |

26 USC 5381 - 5388 (View Law) 26 USC 5351 - 5373 (View Law) 26 USC 5391 - 5392 (View Law) 26 USC 5661 - 5663 (View Law) 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 natural and agricultural wine or authorize the Secretary of Treasury 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 the kind, tax rate, or volume of wine produced or removed. 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 or unduly burden TTB’s administration of 27 CFR part 24. |
