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.

Abstract

A court order was issued in American Council of the Blind v. Paulson, 591 F. Supp. 2d 1 (D.D.C. 2008) ("ACB v. Paulson") requiring the Department of the Treasury and BEP to "provide meaningful access to United States currency for blind and other visually impaired persons, which steps shall be completed, in connection with each denomination of currency, not later than the date when a redesign of that denomination is next approved by the Secretary of the Treasury * * * ." In compliance with the court's order, BEP intends to meet individually with blind and visually impaired persons and request their feedback about tactile features that BEP is considering for possible incorporation into the next U.S. paper currency redesign. BEP employees will attend national conventions and conferences for disabled persons. At those gatherings, BEP employees will invite blind and visually impaired persons to provide feedback about certain tactile features being considered for inclusion in future United States currency paper designs.

Application for Operating Permit Under 26 U.S.C. 5171(d)

Key Information

Abstract

As required by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5171 and 5172, persons who intend to distill, warehouse, or bottle or package distilled spirits for industrial use, who intend to denature spirits, who intend to manufacture articles using distilled spirits, or who intend warehouse bulk spirits for non-industrial use without bottling are required to obtain an operating permit before beginning such activities, under such regulations as the Secretary prescribes. As authorized by those IRC provisions, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR Part 19, Distilled Spirits Plants, require such persons to apply for an operating permit using form TTB F 5110.25, Application for Operating Permit Under 26 U.S.C. 5171(d). The form and its supporting documents identify the applicant and their business, its organization, and the persons with a significant interest in the business, as well as the location of the distilled spirits plant (DSP) and its proposed operations. In addition, proprietors must apply for a new or amended operating permit using that form when certain changes occur to the DSP, including changes in its location, control, ownership, or operations. This collection information allows TTB to determine if an operating permit applicant is qualified under chapter 51 of the IRC to engage in certain distilled spirits-related production, processing, or warehousing activities. This determination ensures that such applicants are likely to operate in conformity with Federal laws and regulations, and it assists in limiting the illicit manufacture and sale of non-taxpaid distilled spirits or the diversion of industrial distilled spirits to taxable beverage use.

Formula and Process for Nonbeverage Products

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5111–5114, authorizes drawback (refund) of excise tax paid on distilled spirits that are subsequently used in the manufacture medicines, medicinal preparations, food products, flavors, flavoring extracts, or perfume that are unfit for beverage purposes, and it authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to prescribe regulations to ensure that drawback is not paid for unauthorized purposes. Under these authorities, TTB has issued regulations that require nonbeverage drawback claimants to show that the taxpaid distilled spirits for which a drawback claim is made were used in the manufacture of a non-beverage product that is qualified for drawback under the IRC. This showing is based on the product’s formula and process, which is submitted on form TTB F 5154.1 or electronically via TTB's Formulas Online system, and any required sample submission. This information collection is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to determine if a given product is unfit for beverage use and is of a type authorized for drawback by the IRC. This information collection also is beneficial to respondents as TTB’s determination allows claimants to know in advance of actual manufacture if a product is or is not fit for beverage purposes and thus eligible or not eligible for drawback. In addition, by filing a letterhead notice, manufacturers may adopt approved nonbeverage product formulas for use at other plants they operate, and they may adopt such formulas from predecessor proprietors.

Clean Water Act Section 404 State-Assumed Programs (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request describes the burden (hours) and labor cost (dollars) associated with 40 CFR 233, the regulations that implement Clean Water Act Section 404(g). The Clean Water Act authorizes states [tribes] to assume the section 404 permit program for discharges of dredged or fill material into certain waters of the U.S. Implementing regulations establish specific information that must be submitted to EPA when a state/tribe requests program assumption and while administering the program. There are three types of information collected for different needs. The three parts are: 1) Information needed for EPA to review and approve state or tribal requests to assume the program; 2) information needed from permit applicants for reviewing and processing the permit application; and 3) information the state or tribe must submit to EPA in their annual report summarizing program administration.

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.

2022 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit for Discharges from Construction Activities (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) calculates the burden and costs associated with information collection and reporting activities from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Discharges from Construction Activities, hereinafter referred to as the 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP). The burden and costs associated with the entire NPDES program are accounted for in an approved ICR (EPA ICR number 0229.23, OMB control no. 2040-0004), however, the changes made in the 2022 CGP have not yet been included into this consolidated ICR. Therefore, this ICR continues to reflect the paperwork burden and costs associated with the difference between the 2022 CGP and the 2017 CGP. The NPDES Program ICR expires in July of 2026, therefore, it is likely that EPA will consolidate the burden and costs of this ICR into the NPDES Program ICR (and discontinue this ICR) at that time.

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Inorganic Arsenic Emissions from Glass Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 61, subpart N) apply to each existing and new glass melting furnace that uses commercial arsenic as a raw material located at a glass manufacturing plant. These standards do not apply to pot furnaces; in addition, these standards do not consider re-bricking as eith,er construction or modification for the purposes of 40 CFR section 61.05(a). New facilities include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP 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 with 40 CFR part 61, subpart N.

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Natural Gas Transmission and Storage (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHH) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and that either transport or store natural gas prior to entering the pipeline to a local distribution company or to a final end user (if there is no local distribution company). The 2012 amendment eliminates the startup, shutdown and malfunction (SSM) exemption, establishes MACT standards for small glycol dehydration units (glycol dehydrators with an actual annual average natural gas flowrate less than 283,000 scmd or actual average benzene emissions less than 0.9 Mg/yr), and requires facilities using carbon absorbers as a control device to keep records of their carbon replacement schedule. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP 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 with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHH.

Key Information

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Bulk Gasoline Terminals apply to affected facilities at bulk gasoline terminals that have a throughput greater than 75,700 liters per day, delivering liquid product into gasoline tank trucks. Affected facilities include the loading arms, pumps, meters, shutoff valves, relief valves, and other piping and valves necessary to fill delivery tan trucks. These standards set initial notification, initial performance test, and ongoing recordkeeping requirements. Additionally, required monthly leak detection records are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XX.

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.

NESHAP for Vinyl Chloride (40 CFR part 61, subpart F) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Vinyl Chloride (40 CFR part 61, subpart F) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that produce the following: (1) ethylene dichloride (EDC) by reaction of oxygen and hydrogen chloride with ethylene; (2) vinyl chloride (VC) by any process; and (3) one or more polymers containing any fraction of polymerized VC. Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to comply with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the General Provisions (40 CFR part 61, subpart A), as well as the specific requirements at 40 CFR part 61, subpart F. This includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. 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 used by EPA to determine compliance with the standards.

Application for Accreditation as a Claims Agent or Attorney, Filing of Representatives' Fee Agreements and Motions for Review of Such Fee Agreements

Key Information

Abstract

(1) Applicants seeking accreditation as claims agents or attorneys to represent benefits claimants before VA must file VA Form 21a, Application for Accreditation as a Claims Agent or Attorney, with VA's Office of General Counsel (OGC). The information requested in VA Form 21a includes basic identifying information, as well as certain information concerning training and experience, military service, and employment. See 38 U.S.C. 5901; 38 CFR 14.629(b). (2) If accredited agents and attorneys wish to maintain accreditation, they must file recertifications with OGC that they have completed Continuing Legal Education (CLE) requirements and are in good standing with other courts, bars, and Federal and State agencies. See 38 U.S.C. 5904(a)(2)-(3); 38 CFR 14.629(b). (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.
