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.

Monthly Report - Importer of Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5722, importers of tobacco products and of processed tobacco are required to provide reports containing the information, in the form, at the times, and for the periods, as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 41 require importers of tobacco products and importers of processed tobacco to submit a monthly report on TTB F 5220.6 to account for such products on hand, and that received, removed, and released from customs custody. The required information allows TTB to determine the amount and disposition of tobacco products and processed tobacco imported into the United States. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue, detect diversion of tobacco products and processed tobacco, which is not subject to excise tax, into the illegal market, and ensure that importers of those products are operating in accordance with statutory and regulatory requirements.

Alcohol Fuel Plants (AFP) Reports, and Miscellaneous Letterhead Applications and Notices, Marks, and Records

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5001, distilled spirits produced or imported into the United States are subject to an excise tax of up to $13.50 per proof gallon. However, under 26 U.S.C. 5214(a)(12) distilled spirits used for fuel purposes may be withdrawn from a distilled spirits plant (DSP) free of tax. To protect the revenue and help prevent diversion of alcohol fuel to taxable beverage use, 26 U.S.C. 5181 and 5207 require a proprietor of a DSP established as an alcohol fuel plant (AFP) to make applications, maintain records, and render reports as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under those IRC authorities, TTB has issued regulations in 27 CFR, part 19, subpart X, which require AFP proprietors to keep certain records, provide certain notices, place certain content and warning marks on alcohol fuel containers, and make annual operations reports using form TTB F 5110.75. The information collected under these regulations is necessary to keep AFP permits current, evaluate requested variations from prescribed AFP procedures, provide public disclosure of alcohol fuel container contents and poisonous nature, and account for distilled spirits produced for fuel purposes and verify the spirits’ disposition.

Tobacco Bond--Collateral, Tobacco Bond--Surety, and Tobacco Bond

Key Information

Abstract

To protect the revenue, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5711 requires every person, before commencing business as a manufacturer of tobacco products or cigarette papers and tubes, or as an export warehouse proprietor, to file a bond in the amount, form, and manner prescribed by the Secretary by regulation. Also, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7101 requires that such bonds be guaranteed by a surety company or by the deposit of collateral in the form of United States Treasury bonds or notes. Under those IRC authorities, TTB has issued tobacco bond regulations in 27 CFR parts 40 and 44 for manufacturers and export warehouse proprietors, respectively. Those regulations require the prescribed persons to file a collateral or surety bond with TTB in an amount equivalent to their potential excise tax liability, within a minimum and a maximum amount. The regulations also require a strengthening bond when the amount of an existing bond is found to be insufficient and require a superseding bond when a current bond is no longer valid for reasons specified in the regulations. The regulations specify that respondents provide a collateral bond using form TTB F 5000.25 or a surety bond using TTB F 5000.26, or they may use TTB F 5200.29 for either type of bond as an approved alternate procedure.

Submission of Conservation Efforts to Make Listings Unnecessary under the Endangered Species Act

Key Information

Abstract

This request is for extension of a current information collection under the Policy for Evaluation of Conservation Efforts When Making Listing Decisions (PECE), which was finalized jointly by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in 2003 (see 68 FR 15100, March 28, 2003). There are no changes or revisions to this collection request. The Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), specifies the process by which NMFS and FWS (the Services) can list species as threatened or endangered. When considering whether to list a species, the ESA requires the Services to take into account “those efforts, if any, being made by any State . . . or any political subdivision of a State . . . to protect such species.” Conservation efforts are often formalized in conservation agreements, conservation plans, management plans, or other similar documents and are often developed with the specific intent of making the listing of species as threatened or endangered unnecessary. Sometimes these agreements or plans have yet to be implemented or demonstrate their effectiveness at the time the Services must make a listing decision. In such instances, the Services use the criteria identified in the PECE to evaluate the conservation efforts. The development of such an agreement or plan that has the specific intention of making listing unnecessary constitutes a new information collection. One of the criteria identified in PECE is that such agreements and plans contain a provision for monitoring and reporting the progress and results of implementation of conservation efforts. This criterion also constitutes a new information collection, in addition to the agreement.

High Frequency Surveys Program Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (March, April, May)

Key Information

Abstract

The High-Frequency Surveys Program was established as a natural progression from the creation of the Household Pulse Survey. The Census Bureau developed the Household Pulse Survey to produce near real-time data in a time of urgent and acute need to inform federal and state action in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Changes in the measures over time provided insight into individuals’ experiences on social and economic dimensions during the period of the pandemic. It has evolved to include content on other emergent social and economic issues facing households and is designed to supplement the federal statistical system’s traditional benchmark data products with a new data source that provides relevant and timely information based on a high-quality sample frame, data integration, and cooperative expertise. In January 2025, the HPS and CHP will be relaunched as the Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (HTOPS). The HTOPS will continue the strong tradition of the HPS by rapidly providing insight into national events that have social and economic impacts on U.S. households. It will complement more traditional federal surveys by producing data much closer to real time as the events develop and with the new longitudinal design, have the ability to track changes over time. Along with HPS content, the survey will enable the Census Bureau to address research and content development needs for its census and survey programs. The HTOPS will be one more tool among the Census Bureau's data collection efforts to provide the nation with quality, up-to-date information that informs our future.

Key Information

Abstract

Public housing agencies (PHAs) are state-chartered entities, authorized for Federal funding by Section 3 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (“the Act,” 42 USC 1437f). Federal funding for the public housing program is authorized by Section 9 of the Act. A State, or other properly delegated local authority, such as a city, county, or parish, may periodically act to turn the public housing of one PHA over to another PHA or act to combine two or more PHAs into one, multijurisdictional PHA. HUD must be informed in order to (1) perfect its security interest in the public housing, (2) ensure the continued use of the housing as public housing, and (3) guarantee that Federal funding is paid to the proper PHA on behalf of the public housing actually owned by the PHA.

Voluntary Disclosure Practice and Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures

Key Information

Abstract

The IRS has two very different compliance paths for two very different populations of taxpayers (taxpayers who have exposure to criminal liability for tax and tax-related crimes and taxpayers who have non-willful international compliance issues). First, the Voluntary Disclosure Practice is a longstanding practice of IRS Criminal Investigation (CI). CI takes timely, accurate, and complete voluntary disclosures under consideration when determining whether to recommend criminal prosecution. A voluntary disclosure will not automatically guarantee immunity from prosecution; however, a voluntary disclosure may result in prosecution not being recommended. Form 14457 is used for all voluntary disclosures. This redesigned form is to be used by taxpayers to apply for the IRS-CI Voluntary Disclosure Practice (VDP). The form is submitted by the taxpayer in two parts. Part I is a preclearance request. Once a taxpayer receives preclearance from IRS-CI, they will submit Part II, the voluntary disclosure application. Versions prior to March 2019 were used by taxpayers to apply for the IRS Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP) that closed on September 28, 2018. Second, the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures are available to eligible taxpayers who can truthfully certify that their failure to report foreign financial assets and pay all tax due in respect of those assets resulted from non-willful conduct. Forms 14653, 15023, and 14654 relate to the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures. The use of information collected with respect to the Voluntary Disclosure Practice and the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures is a necessary for the Commissioner to use his enforcement discretion and authority to offer specific compliance paths with favorable penalty provisions under IRC § 7803(a)(2)(A) granting him the authority to “administer, manage, conduct, direct, and supervise the execution and application of the internal revenue laws or related statutes and tax conventions to which the United States is a party.” Additionally, IRC § 6001 requires taxpayers to retain records relating to tax liabilities and tax returns and is thereby related to the information collected by the forms used in the Voluntary Disclosure Practice and the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures.

(3) Accredited agents and attorneys must file with VA any agreement for the payment of fees charged for representing claimants before VA. 38 U.S.C. 5904(c)(2); 38 CFR 14.636(g). (4) Claimants, accredited agents, or accredited attorneys may request an OGC determination on a reasonable fee allocation in a given case. If they do, OGC will solicit (optional) responses from the other parties in the case. 38 U.S.C. 5904(c)(3); 38 CFR 14.636(i). (1) The information in the VA Form 21a is used by OGC to determine the applicant’s eligibility for accreditation as a claims agent or attorney. More specifically, it is used to evaluate qualifications, ensure against conflicts of interest, and to establish that statutory and regulatory eligibility requirements, e.g., good character and reputation, are met. (2) The information in recertifications is used by OGC to monitor whether accredited attorneys and agents continue to have appropriate character and reputation and whether they remain fit to prepare, present, and prosecute VA benefit claims. (3) The information in a fee agreement is used by the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) to associate the fee agreement with the claimant's claims file, to potentially determine the attorney or agent’s fee eligibility, and to potentially process direct payment of a fee from the claimant's past-due benefits. It is used by OGC to monitor whether the agreement is in compliance with laws governing paid representation, and to potentially review fee reasonableness. (4) The information in a request for OGC fee review, or a response to such request, is used by OGC to determine the agents’ or attorneys’ contribution to and responsibility for the ultimate outcome of the claimant's claim, so that a determination on reasonable fees can be rendered.

Brewer's Report of Operations and Quarterly Brewer's Report of Operations

Key Information

Abstract

The 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

Abstract

Section 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.

Formula and Process for Domestic and Imported Alcohol Beverages

Key Information

Abstract

Chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC; 26 U.S.C. chapter 51) governs the production, classification, and taxation of alcohol products, and the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 205(e) requires alcohol beverage labels to provide consumers with adequate information as to the identity and quality of alcohol beverages. 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.
