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.

Implementing the Whistleblower Provision of Section 23 of the Commodity Exchange Act

Key Information

Abstract

Section 23 of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 26, directs that the Commission establish a fund from which to pay awards of 10 to 30 percent of sanctions collected from successful enforcement of covered judicial or administrative actions, or related actions, to individuals who provide information that leads to the successful enforcement of an action in which sanctions exceeding $1,000,000 are obtained. Section 23(c) establishes procedures for the determination or denial of an award. Rules 165.3 and 165.7 implement these statutory provisions. Rule 165.3 establishes the procedures for submitting original information, which enables the Commission to receive whistleblower tips regarding possible violations of the CEA. Ultimately, the receipt of such tips can lead to successful enforcement actions achieving total sanctions in excess of $1,000,000 or related actions. Rule 165.7 establishes the procedures for award applications and Commission award determinations. Rule 165.7 requires the whistleblower to apply for an award, and likewise enables the Commission to make a determination of the amount of an award or denial of an award based upon certain criteria.

Registrations and Miscellaneous Requests and Notices for Distilled Spirits Plants; Distilled Spirits Related Requests and Notices for Non-Distilled Spirits Plants

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5171 and 5172, provides that an application to register a distilled spirits plant (DSP) must be made in conformity with regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury, while 26 U.S.C. 5201 requires DSPs to operate in conformity with such regulations. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5312 also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations regarding the use of distilled spirits by certain educational and scientific institutions for experimental or research use, and that section authorizes the establishment and regulation of experimental DSPs. Under those authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 19 prescribe the use of TTB F 5110.41 to register a DSP or to make certain amendments to an existing DSP registration. The TTB regulations in part 19 also require DSP operators to submit various miscellaneous letterhead requests or notices to vary their operations from the requirements of part 19 or to request approval or provide notification of certain changes in DSP activities. In addition, those regulations require persons who are neither registered DSPs nor applicants for registration to submit applications or notices related to certain distilled spirits activities, such as the establishment of an experimental DSP or the use of spirits for research purposes. The required information is necessary to protect the revenue as it assists TTB in determining a person’s eligibility to establish and operate a DSP under the IRC, whether a variance from TTB’s regulatory requirements or certain activities at a DSP should be approved, and whether non-DSP entities are eligible to engage in certain distilled spirits-related activities.

Application to Establish and Operate Wine Premises, and Wine Bond

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5351 through 5357, provides for the establishment of bonded wine cellars, bonded wineries, and taxpaid wine bottling houses and, to establish such wine premises, these IRC sections require the filing of applications and bonds as required by regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has issued TTB F 5120.25, Application to Establish and Operate Wine Premises, to collect information that it uses to determine the qualifications under the IRC of an applicant applying to establish and operate a new wine premises. Proprietors of established wine premises also use TTB F 5120.25 to report changes to certain required information such as location and ownership. Wine premises proprietors use TTB F 5120.36, Wine Bond, to file bond coverage with TTB, unless they are exempt from the bond requirement as described in the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5551(d). The bond may be secured through a surety company, or it may be secured with collateral (Treasury securities or notes or by cash). The required bond protects the revenue by ensuring payment of delinquent Federal wine excise tax liabilities.

Entry of Taxable Fuel

Key Information

Abstract

Treasury Decision 9346 contains final regulations relating to the tax on the entry of taxable fuel (gasoline, diesel fuel, and kerosene), into the United States. The final regulations affect enterers of taxable fuel, other importers, and certain sureties. Section 4081(a)(1)(A)(iii) imposes a tax on the entry into the United States of any taxable fuel, for consumption, use, or warehousing. This collection of information allows certain importers of record and sureties to avoid liability for the tax on the entry of taxable fuel into the United States. Section 48.4081 3(c)(2)(iii) provides that if an importer of record has an unexpired notification certificate (as described in §48.4081 5) from the enterer and has no reason to believe that any information in the notification certificate is false, the importer of record will not be liable for the tax on the entry of taxable fuel. Section 48.4081-3(c)(2)(iv) provides that a Customs bond posted with respect to the importation of fuel will not be charged for the tax imposed on the entry of fuel if the enterer is a taxable fuel registrant. If a surety has an unexpired notification certificate (as described in §48.4081-5) from the enterer and has no reason to believe that any information in the notification certificate is false, the surety bond will not be charged for the tax imposed on the entry of taxable fuel.

Brewer's Bond and Brewer's Bond Continuation Certificate; Brewer's Collateral Bond and Brewer's Collateral Bond Continuation Certificate

Key Information

Abstract

In general, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5401(b) requires brewers to execute a bond before starting business, subject to the exemptions for certain small brewers that are eligible to pay excise taxes on an annual or quarterly basis as provided under 26 U.S.C. 5551(d) and to regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Also under that section, brewer's bonds expire every four years, and a brewer must provide a new bond or a continuation certificate extending the terms of an existing bond. Additionally, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7101 and subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary, a brewer may furnish a surety bond under which a surety company guarantees payment of the proprietor’s unpaid tax liabilities, or a brewer may submit a collateral bond backed by United States Treasury securities or notes. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 25 require brewers to file a surety bond using TTB F 5130.22, Brewer’s Bond, or a collateral bond backed by U.S. Treasury securities, notes, or cash using TTB F 5130.25, Brewer’s Collateral Bond. To continue an existing bond, a brewer may furnish a surety bond continuation certificate using TTB F 5130.23 or a collateral bond continuation certificate using TTB F 5130.27, as appropriate. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as the required bonds ensure payment of any delinquent excise tax liabilities.

Form W-14 - Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments

Key Information

Abstract

Tax on Certain Foreign Procurement, Notice of Purposed Rulemaking, contains proposed regulations under section 5000C of the Internal Revenue Code. The proposed regulations affect U.S. government acquiring agencies and foreign persons providing certain goods or services to the U.S. government pursuant to a contract. This document also contains proposed regulations under section 6114, with respect to foreign persons claiming an exemption from the tax under an income tax treaty. Section 5000C imposes a 2% tax on foreign persons (as defined in section 7701(a)(30)), that are parties to specified Federal procurement contracts with the U.S. government entered into on and after January 2, 2011. This tax is imposed on the gross amount of specified Federal procurement payments and is generally collected by increasing the amount withheld under chapter 3. A Form W-14 must be provided to the acquiring agency (U.S. government department, agency, independent establishment, or corporation) to: Establish that they are a foreign contracting party; and If applicable, claim an exemption from withholding based on an international agreement (such as a tax treaty); or Claim an exemption from withholding, in whole or in part, based on an international procurement agreement or because goods are produced, or services are performed in the United States. A Form W-14 must be provided to the acquiring agency if a foreign contracting party has been paid a specified Federal procurement payment and the foreign contracting party is seeking to claim an exemption (in whole or in part) from the tax imposed by section 5000C. Form W-14 must be submitted when requested by the acquiring agency, whether or not an exemption (in whole or in part) is claimed from withholding under section 5000C.

Wage and Investment Strategies and Solutions Behavioral Laboratory Customer Surveys and Support

Key Information

Abstract

As outlined in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Strategic Plan, the Agency is working towards allocating IRS resources strategically to address the evolving scope and increasing complexity of tax administration. In order to do this, IRS must realize their operational efficiencies and effectively manage costs by improving enterprise-wide resource allocation and streamlining processes using feedback from various behavioral research techniques. To assist the Agency is accomplishing the goal outlined in the Strategic Plan, the Wage and Investment Division continuously maintains a "customer-first" focus through routinely soliciting information concerning the needs and characteristics of its customers and implementing programs based on the information received. W&I Strategies and Solutions (WISS), is developing the implementation of a Behavioral Laboratory to identify, plan and deliver business improvement processes that support fulfillment of the IRS strategic goals. The collection of information through the Behavioral Laboratory is necessary to enable the Agency to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the commitment to improving taxpayer service delivery. Improving agency programs requires ongoing assessment of service delivery. WISS, through the Behavioral Laboratory, will collect, analyze, and interpret information gathered through this generic clearance to identify strengths and weaknesses of current services and make improvements in service delivery based on feedback provided by taxpayers and employees of the Internal Revenue Service.

Drawback on Beer Exported

Key Information

Abstract

Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5051, all beer produced in or imported into the United States is subject to Federal excise tax, but, under 26 U.S.C. 5053(a), beer exported from the United States is not subject to that tax. As such, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5055, brewers may receive drawback (refund) of the excise tax paid on domestically produced beer when it is subsequently exported or delivered for use as supplies on certain vessels or aircraft if the brewer provides proof of such action as the Secretary requires by regulation. Under the authority of 26 U.S.C. 5055, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow the brewer or their agent to file a claim for drawback (refund) of the excise taxes paid on beer when the beer is exported to a foreign country, delivered to the U.S. Armed Forces for export, delivered for use as supplies on certain vessels or aircraft, or transferred to a foreign trade zone for export. The regulations require such export drawback claims to be made on form TTB F 5130.6. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to verify the accuracy of export drawback claims for beer, which prevents payment of incorrect and fraudulent export drawback claims.

Notice of Release of Tobacco Products, Cigarette Papers, or Cigarette Tubes

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5704(c) provides for the release of imported tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes from customs custody, without payment of tax, for delivery to an export warehouse proprietor or a manufacturer of tobacco products or cigarette papers and tubes, while the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5704(d) provides that tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes previously exported and then returned to customs custody may be released, without payment of tax, to their original manufacturer or an authorized export warehouse proprietor. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5741 requires manufactures of tobacco products, processed tobacco, or cigarette papers and tubes, importers, and export warehouse proprietors to keep records as the Secretary prescribes by regulation. Under those IRC sections, all such releases and records must be made in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Therefore, under those IRC authorities, the TTB tobacco-related import regulations in 27 CFR part 41 require industry members who do not file customs entries electronically to use TTB F 5200.11 to give notice of release of tobacco products, cigarette papers, or cigarette tubes from customs custody. At importation or return, industry members, TTB, and customs bonded warehouse proprietors or government officials use TTB F 5200.11 to, respectively, request, authorize, and document the release of such products from customs custody, without payment of tax, to a manufacturer or export warehouse proprietor authorized to receive such articles. (The electronic submission of import data and notices of release to TTB through Customs and Border Protection systems is approved under OMB Number 1513–0064, Importer's Records and Reports.)

Inventory - Manufacturer of Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5721 requires manufacturers of tobacco products and processed tobacco to complete an inventory at the commencement of business, the conclusion of business, and at any other time the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5741, such manufacturers are also required to keep records and make them available for inspection in the manner the Secretary prescribes by regulation. Under these authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 40 require manufacturers of tobacco products and processed tobacco to provide inventories on TTB F 5210.9 at the commencement of business, the conclusion of business, when changes in business ownership or factory location occur, and at any other time TTB directs. The use of TTB F 5210.9 provides a uniform format for recording those inventories. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to ensure that manufacturers of tobacco products pay the appropriate amount of Federal excise tax, and that processed tobacco, which is not subject to that tax, is not diverted to the illegal manufacture of otherwise taxable tobacco products.
