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.

FERC-516, Electric Rate Schedules and Tariff Filings

Key Information

Abstract

Section 206 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824e, obligates the Commission to remedy unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory or preferential rates, terms, and conditions of transmission service. The FERC 516 collection contains the information collection requirements for developing, submitting, and reporting tariff information to the Commission. In this non-substantive revision of this collection, the Commission is consolidating the burden related to an approved temporary information collection (FERC 516G) into the FERC 516, which is the collection that should contain the burden related to the reporting activities. No changes are being made to the reporting or collection itself, this is simply an administrative procedure that will allow the Commission to discontinue the use of a temporary information collection number.

High-Frequency Surveys Program, Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey NSC

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.

Marks on Wine Containers, TTB REC 5120/3

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5041 imposes a per gallon Federal excise tax of varying rates on six classes of wine—three classes of still wines (based on alcohol content), two classes of effervescent wines, and one class of hard cider. Under the authority of the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5368, 5388, and 5662, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR Part 24, Wine, require wine premises proprietors to correctly identify wines kept on or removed from their premises by placing certain marks, labels, or other information on all production, storage, and consumer containers of wine. In a proposed rule titled “Alcohol Facts Statements in the Labeling of Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt Beverages,” issued under its IRC authorities, TTB is proposing to require an alcohol content statement to appear on the labels of consumer containers of domestic and imported wine that are not currently subject to such labeling requirements under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act). Because of the varying excise tax rates on wines, and because different tax classes of wine may be produced at the same premises, the required information is necessary to protect the revenue as it ensures that wines are correctly identified for excise tax purposes. TTB has determined that the placement of the required marks on wine containers, other than the proposed alcohol content statement, is a usual and customary business practice undertaken by respondents regardless of any regulatory requirement to do so. As such, per the OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2), the great majority of this information collection request imposes no burden hours on respondents.

Labeling and Advertising Requirements, Alcohol Facts Statements, and Major Food Allergen Labeling of Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt Beverages under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act

Key Information

Abstract

As required by the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 205(e) and (f), the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has issued regulations regarding the labeling and advertising of wine, distilled spirits, and malt beverages, which are contained in 27 CFR parts 4, 5, and 7, respectively. The FAA Act provides that these regulations should, among other things, prohibit consumer deception and the use of misleading statements on labels and ensure that labels provide the consumer with adequate information as to the identity and quality of the product. Under those TTB regulations, bottlers and importers of alcohol beverages must provide certain mandatory information, conform to regulatory requirements regarding certain voluntary disclosures, and adhere to certain presentation standards for statements made on labels and in advertisements of alcohol beverages. Those regulations ensure that consumers are provided with adequate, legible, and non-deceptive or misleading information as to the identity and quality of such products. The information collection requirements related to the required alcohol label and advertising disclosures are approved under OMB No. 1513-0087. Under TTB's FAA Act authority, TTB is issuing two proposed rules affecting this information collection: Notice No. 237, Alcohol Facts Statements in the Labeling of Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt Beverages (RIN 1513–AC93), and Notice No. 238, Major Food Allergen Labeling for Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt Beverages (RIN 1513–AC94). In the first proposed rule, TTB is proposing to require disclosure of per-serving alcohol, calorie, and nutrient content information in an “Alcohol Facts” statement on all alcohol beverage labels subject to TTB’s regulatory authority under the FAA Act. In the second proposed rule, TTB is proposing to require a labeling disclosure of all major food allergens used in the production of alcohol beverages subject to TTB’s regulatory authority under the FAA Act. Under the proposed regulations, unless an exception applies, labels must declare milk, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, soybeans, and sesame, as well as ingredients that contain protein derived from these foods, if used in the production of the alcohol beverage. In each proposed rule TTB is proposing a compliance date of 5 years after the date of a related final rule’s publication in the Federal Register.

Key Information

Abstract

Under the authority of chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC, 26 U.S.C. chapter 51), the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR Part 25, Beer, currently require brewers to place certain marks, signs, and measuring devices on their equipment and structures, and to place certain brands, labels, and marks on bulk and consumer containers of beer and other brewery products. The collected information allows TTB to identify the use, capacity, and contents of brewery equipment and structures, and to identify brewery products and the responsible taxpayer. Other collected information allows consumers to identify brewery products, their content, and their producers. In a proposed rule titled “Alcohol Facts Statements in the Labeling of Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt Beverages,” issued under its IRC authorities, TTB is proposing to require an alcohol content statement to appear on the labels of consumer containers of domestic and imported beers that are not currently subject to such labeling requirements under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act). The collected information will allow TTB to identify the alcohol content of taxable brewery products currently not subject to such a labeling requirement subject. As such, the required information is necessary to protect the revenue and ensure effective administration of the IRC’s provisions regarding brewery operations and products. The collected information also allows (or will allow) other industry members and the general public to identify the contents of bulk containers of beer and other brewery products and identify the contents and alcohol content of consumer containers of beer. In general, for other than the proposed alcohol content statement, TTB believes that the collection of the required information is a usual and customary practice undertaken during the normal course of business, regardless of any TTB regulatory requirements to do so, for the purposes of inventory control, cost accounting, equipment utilization, and product quality control and identification.

Abstract

The Administration on Children, Youth and Families' (ACYF) Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) publishes a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications from states and territories for the development and implementation of the Title V State Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Program. The purpose of the Title V State SRAE Program is to fund states/territories to implement education exclusively on sexual risk avoidance that teaches youth participants to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity. States and territories are expected to submit plans for the implementation of sexual risk avoidance education that normalizes the optimal health behavior of avoiding non-marital sexual activity, with a focus being on the future health, psychological wellbeing, and economic success of youth. Further, the plans must address the social, psychological, and health gains to be realized by refraining from non-marital sexual activity and engaging in healthy relationships. This request is to make updates to remove equity-related indicators from the SRAE Performance Progress Report.

This is a request for revision and extension of an existing information collection. NOAA is submitting this request for OMB approval to modify two forms that are currently in use but which have changed very slightly. 1) Send2NCEI has been modified to add a ‘License Type’ selection field. 2) InPort has been modified to replace the ‘File Type’ free text field with a ‘Distribution Format’ drop down value picker. Neither of these modifications will impact the time burden. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provides several digital forms-based tools enabling data producers to create geospatial metadata conforming to International Standards Organization (ISO) standards. These tools collect very similar information but provide specific assistance for different scientific communities across the diverse spectrum of earth, ocean, atmospheric, and fisheries resources. In 1994, Executive Order 12906 established the National Spatial Data Infrastructure and directed each agency to “document all new geospatial data it collects or produces… using the standard under development by the FGDC...”. In 2010, the FGDC adopted the ISO 19115/19139 suite of standards for use by Federal agencies to document geospatial data. The voluntary information collection using these tools facilitates NOAA and others in Federal, State, or local governments, academic institutions, and others to provide clear descriptive information (metadata) about geospatial data. Metadata requested in the tools identifies the data provider, data collector(s), data collection dates, and other information that make the described data useful to other researchers and future users of the described data. Each tool reorganizes descriptive information into an XML file that conforms to the ISO19115-2 Geospatial Metadata standard and the ISO19139 Geographic information Metadata XML schema implementation. A significant advantage for a data provider using one of these tools is that the information is collected through a series of short form-based pages that provide suggestions for entries from established keyword lists and other standard responses. Data providers may opt to use suggested entries or to enter free text into the forms.

Key Information

Abstract

NARA needs a standard way to recruit volunteers and identify the qualifications of potential volunteers. The NA Form 6045 is used by members of the public to signal their interest in being a NARA volunteer. NARA also uses voluntary (unpaid) interns to create a pipeline; bring fresh perspectives and ideas; and serve as NARA brand ambassadors. In February/March 2024, NARA submitted a Change Worksheet to OMB to add NA Form 3060A, Voluntary Intern Application, to this information collection request

ACF Performance Progress Report - Program Indicators

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Grants Management (OGM), in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proposing the continued collection of program performance data for ACF’s discretionary grantees. In 2016, OGM developed the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B to collect this data based on the basic template of the OMB-approved reporting format of the Program Performance Report. The form was renewed in 2019 with no changes. OGM now seeks to renew the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B for continued use by ACF with minor changes to improve the function of the form and utility to the federal government. This includes the addition of a program indicator to collect information on activities recipients conducted during the reporting period to address or advance equity. Addition of this program indicator supports the Biden-Harris Administration’s equity agenda as outlined in Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. Other minor updates are described in A15 of Supporting Statement A. The requirement for grantees to report on performance is OMB grants policy. Specific citations are contained in: (1) 2 CFR 215 Uniform Administrative Requirements, cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards and (2) 45 CFR 75, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Department of Health and Human Services Awards. The Office of Grants Management (OGM), in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proposing to update the form used for the collection of program performance data for ACF’s discretionary grant recipients. In 2016, OGM developed the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR-B to collect this data based on the basic template of the OMB-approved reporting format of the Program Performance Report and has renewed approval since implementation. OGM has made updates to the instructions to ensure they are current and clear and revised a program indicator in response to Executive Order 14151, Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferences. This is a request for revisions to reword the submission instructions, change of the term grantee to recipient and remove an equity-related activity program indicator.
