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.

Notices Relating to Payment of Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax by Electronic Fund Transfer

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 6302, TTB collects the firearms and ammunition excise tax imposed by 26 U.S.C. 4181 on the basis of a return that taxpayers file on a quarterly basis. Section 6302 also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations concerning the payment of taxes by electronic funds transfer (EFT). Under the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 53, taxpayers who elect to begin or discontinue payment of firearms and ammunition excise taxes by EFT must furnish a written notice to TTB regarding such actions. TTB uses those notifications to anticipate and monitor firearms and ammunition excise tax payments to ensure compliance with the relevant provisions of the IRC.

Securities of State Nonmember Banks and State Savings Associations

Key Information

Abstract

Section 12(i) of the Exchange Act grants authority to the Federal banking agencies to administer and enforce Sections 10A(m), 12, 13, 14(a), 14(c), 14(d), 14(f), and 16 of the Exchange Act and Sections 302, 303, 304, 306, 401(b), 404, 406, and 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Pursuant to Section 12(i), the FDIC has the authority, including rulemaking authority, to administer and enforce these enumerated provisions as may be necessary with respect to state nonmember banks and state savings associations over which it has been designated the appropriate Federal banking agency. Section 12(i) generally requires the FDIC to issue regulations substantially similar to those issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations to carry out these responsibilities. Thus, Part 335 of the FDIC regulations incorporates by cross-reference the SEC rules and regulations regarding the disclosure and filing requirements of registered securities of state nonmember banks and state savings associations.

Tobacco Export Warehouse--Record of Operations (TTB REC 5220/1)

Key Information

Abstract

In general, chapter 52 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC, 26 U.S.C. chapter 52) imposes Federal excise tax on all tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes manufactured in, or imported into, the United States, while exempting such articles removed for export, as well as all processed tobacco, from that tax. Export warehouses receive and store such non-taxpaid articles until they are removed without payment of tax for export to a foreign country, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, or for consumption beyond the internal revenue laws of the United States. To protect the revenue, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5741 requires tobacco industry members, including export warehouse proprietors, to keep records as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 44 require export warehouse proprietors to keep records showing the date, kind, quantity, and manufacturer of all tobacco products, cigarette papers and tubes, and processed tobacco received, removed, transferred, destroyed, lost, or returned to the manufacturer or to a customs bonded warehouse proprietor. The required records are necessary to protect the revenue as they allow transactions involving non-taxpaid articles to be traced and verified to ensure that no Federal excise tax liabilities were incurred through the diversion of such articles to taxable uses.

Requirement for Information Sharing Between Government Agencies and Financial Institutions ("314(a)")

Key Information

Abstract

The USA PATRIOT Act charged the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) with developing regulations to facilitate information sharing among government entities and financial institutions for the purpose of combatting terrorism and money laundering. In 2002, FinCEN published a final rule implementing the authority contained in Section 314(a) of the USA PATRIOT Act (the Section 314(a) Rule). The rule required financial institutions, upon FinCEN’s request (a “Section 314(a) Request”), to search their records to determine whether they have maintained an account or conducted a transaction with a specified individual, entity, or organization that a Federal law enforcement agency has certified is suspected, based on credible evidence, of engaging in terrorist activity or money laundering. The rule was expanded in 2010 to enable certain agencies other than Federal law enforcement agencies to initiate Section 314(a) Requests. As amended, the rule enables certain foreign law enforcement agencies, state and local law enforcement agencies, and FinCEN itself, on its own behalf and on behalf of appropriate components of Treasury, to initiate Section 314(a) Requests. Before processing a request, FinCEN requires the requesting agency to certify that, in the case of money laundering, the matter is significant, and that the requesting agency has been unable to locate the information sought through traditional methods of investigation and analysis. The regulations implementing the rules are found at 31 CFR 1010.520.

Alternate Methods or Procedures and Emergency Variations from Requirements for Alcohol Exports (TTB REC 5170/7)

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 7805 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue all needful regulations to implement the IRC. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow alcohol exporters to apply for TTB approval of proposed alternate methods or procedures to, or emergency variances from, the requirements of that part, other than the giving of a bond or the payment of tax. Such applications provide alcohol exporters with operational flexibility and allow them to meet emergency circumstances. TTB review of such applications is necessary to determine that the proposed alternative or variance would not jeopardize the revenue, be contrary to any provisions of law, or unduly hinder the effective administration of the relevant TTB regulations.

Records of Operations--Manufacturer of Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco (TTB REC 5210/1)

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5741 requires manufacturers of tobacco products, cigarette papers or tubes, or processed tobacco to keep records as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 40 require such manufacturers to keep daily records regarding raw materials received and products manufactured, removed, returned, consumed, transferred, destroyed, lost, or disclosed as shortages. Those regulations provide that manufacturers may use usual and customary commercial records to keep and maintain the required data, provided that TTB may readily ascertain the information. Also, manufacturers must maintain the required records for 3 years and make them available for TTB inspection upon request. This information collection is necessary to protect the revenue as it provides accountability over the receipt, production, and disposition of taxable tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, and over processed tobacco that, while not subject to tax, may be diverted to the illegal manufacture of taxable tobacco products.

Formula and Process for Wine

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5361, 5362, and 5386–5388, requires persons who intend to produce special natural wine, agricultural wine, other than standard wine, or nonbeverage wine to obtain approval of the formulas and processes by which such products will be made. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 24 and 26 require producers to obtain prior approval of the formulas and processes by which such wine products will be made. Producers may file such approval requests using TTB F 5120.29, Formula and Process for Wine. TTB uses the collected information to ensure that the relevant tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied and to protect the public from misidentified, mislabeled, or unsafe wines and wine products.

Letterhead Applications and Notices Relating to Tax-Free Alcohol (TTB REC 5150/04)

Key Information

Abstract

While the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5001 generally imposes a Federal excise tax on all distilled spirits produced in or imported into the United States, 26 U.S.C. 5214 provides for the tax-free withdrawal of distilled spirits from distilled spirits plants (DSPs) for nonbeverage purposes, including for use by educational institutions, laboratories, and medical facilities, and by State, local, and tribal governments. At 26 U.S.C. 5271–5275, the IRC also sets permit, bond, formula submission, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements for the use of tax-free distilled spirits, all of which is subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary. Under those authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 22 require users of tax-free alcohol to submit certain letterhead applications and notices, which serve as qualifying documents for specific regulated activities or as amendments to previously filed documents. The collected information is necessary to ensure that the provisions of the IRC related to tax-free distilled spirits are appropriately applied.

Distilled Spirits Plant Denaturation Records (TTB REC 5110/04), and Monthly Report of Processing (Denaturing) Operations

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5207, requires distilled spirits plant (DSP) proprietors to maintain records and submit reports of their production, storage, denaturation, and processing activities, and, at 26 U.S.C. 5214, it authorizes the withdrawal of denatured distilled spirits from a DSP free of tax for certain specified uses, all subject regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require DSP proprietors to keep certain records regarding their production, loss, receipt, transfer, and withdrawal of denatured spirits. Using the required records, those regulations also require DSP proprietors to report a summary of their daily denaturing (processing) activities to TTB on a monthly basis using form TTB F 5110.43. Because denatured spirits may be removed from a DSP free of tax, a full accounting of a DSP’s denaturation operations is necessary to protect the revenue. The required records and reports allow TTB to detect and prevent diversion of denatured spirits to taxable uses, ensure compliance with Federal law and regulations, and compile industry statistics.

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5062 authorizes drawback (refund) of the Federal excise tax paid on distilled spirits and wines subsequently exported from the United States, under regulations requiring evidence of the product’s tax payment or determination and exportation. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 28 require drawback claims filed by wine exporters to be accompanied by the producer’s or bottler’s certification, filed on form TTB F 5120.20, that the listed wines were produced in the United States and taxpaid or determined upon withdrawal. The collected information is necessary to ensure that the tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied, as it allows TTB to prevent the payment of unverified drawback claims.

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 6061 provides that any return, statement, or other document submitted under the IRC’s provisions must be signed in accordance with the forms or regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary). Also, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 204(c) authorizes the Secretary to prescribe the manner and form of applications for basic permits issued under the Act. Under those authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations require individuals signing documents and forms filed with TTB on behalf of an applicant or principal to have specific authority to do so. As such, applicants and principals use form TTB F 5000.8, Power of Attorney, to delegate such authority to a designated individual and to report that delegation to TTB. Many documents and forms submitted to TTB are legally binding and have penalties for omissions or falsification, and TTB uses the collected information to determine who legally represents an applicant or permittee doing business with the agency.

Specific to this information collection, and as authorized by the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5555, the TTB regulations in part 31 also allow wholesale alcohol dealers to submit letterhead applications to TTB requesting approval of variations in the type and format of such records, and for variations in the retention place of those records. TTB review of such applications is necessary to determine that such variances would not jeopardize the revenue, be contrary to any provisions of law, or unduly hinder the effective administration of the relevant TTB regulations.

Election Whether to Participate in the Wireless Emergency Alert System

Key Information

Abstract

The Commission is requesting approval of non-substantive changes associated with multilingual Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) in collection OMB Control No. 3060-1113. OMB previously approved FCC rules that require commercial mobile service providers participating in WEA to support the pre-installation and display of templates of common alert messages on WEA-capable devices in the 13 most commonly spoken languages, as well as English and American Sign Language (ASL). On January 8, 2025, the FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau adopted a Report and Order that further implemented these requirements by identifying the specific templates that these CMS providers must implement, requiring the written templates to be fillable with specific information provided by alert originators, and requiring non-English templates displayed on WEA-capable devices to be followed by the display of corresponding English fillable templates. This collection will (a) provide Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) in the 13 most spoken languages other than English in the U.S.; (b) renew CMS providers' election regarding whether or not to participate in WEA: (c) require that WEA messages include location-aware maps; and (d) establish an FCC-maintained WEA database of participating providers and the areas they serve.

Part 107 Authorizations and Waivers under 14 CFR Part 107 and Airspace Authorizations in Controlled Airspace under 49 U.S.C. § 44809(a)(5)

Key Information

Abstract

Respondents are sUAS operators seeking authorization to fly in controlled airspace under either 14 CFR § 107.41 or 49 U.S.C. § 44809(a)(5) (sUAS operators flying “limited recreational operations” also referred to as “recreational flyers”). Per the regulatory requirements of both operation types, no person may operate a small unmanned aircraft in Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace or within the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace designated for an airport unless that person has prior authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC). Thus, respondents are required to provide certain information to ATC as part of the application process to gain authorization to fly in controlled airspace. The information includes the respondent’s name, telephone number, email address, and information related to the date, time, place, and altitude of any planned flight operations in controlled airspace. Reporting this information is required for Part 107 and Section 44809 operators to receive authorization to fly a sUAS in controlled airspace. There are no record-keeping or disclosure requirements. There are no record-keeping or disclosure requirements. The information requested from respondents for airspace authorizations and airspace waivers is essential to the FAA’s mission of ensuring safety in the airspace. The FAA is tasked with the exclusive management of airspace in the United States and must issue regulations and control the use of airspace to ensure the safe and efficient use of airspace. Part 107 Airspace Authorizations: The FAA uses the information provided by respondents via either LAANC or the DroneZone web portal for the same purposes and will address each together. LAANC and DroneZone Web Portal The FAA uses this information to evaluate airspace authorization requests submitted under Part 107 and Section 44809. For both user types, the LAANC and DroneZone systems serve as the primary collection mechanisms. LAANC provides near-real-time, fully automated processing for authorization requests that fall within published UAS Facility Maps (UASFMs), while DroneZone enables manual review and approval for requests outside of automated limits or for locations not served by LAANC. Part 107 Airspace Waivers: DroneZone Web Portal The FAA uses information respondents submit via the DroneZone web portal to determine whether each respondent can safely operate the sUAS under the terms of an airspace waiver that authorizes deviation from § 107.41. The FAA reviews and analyzes the information it collects from the respondent to determine the type and extent of the intended deviation from § 107.41. In general, the FAA will issue a certificate of waiver or authorization to the respondent (individuals and businesses) if the proposed operation does not create a hazard to persons on the ground or to other aircraft. If the FAA did not collect this information, the FAA would not be able to grant certificates of waiver from § 107.41 as the FAA uses the information to authorize (or deny) the requested airspace waiver consistent with the FAA’s legal mandate to maintain a safe and efficient airspace.

Abstract

Section 70204 of the One Big Beautiful Bill, P.L.119-21 established "Trump Accounts," a new type of tax-advantaged savings account for children. These accounts are for children under 18. Form 4547 and Form 8879-TA will be used to make the elections to establish the accounts.Emergency Justfication:The Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) request the creation of OMB Control Number 1545-NEW, Form 4547, Trump Account Election(s) under emergency procedures in connection with provisions of sections 70204 of Public Law 119-21, commonly known as the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The IRS needs to publish Form 4547 and Form 8879-TA before December 31, 2025, so that parents, guardians, and other authorized individuals can elect under section 530A to establish a Trump account for the benefit of an eligible individual and, if applicable, elect under section 6434 to receive a pilot program contribution to the Trump account as soon as sections 530A and 6434 are effective (January 1, 2026). Following normal Paperwork Reduction Act clearance procedures would thus result in harm to children eligible to benefit from a Trump account or pilot program contribution because they would be unable to submit their elections starting January 1, 2026. Therefore, due to the extraordinary circumstances and statutory deadlines for implementing the sections 530A and 6434, the Treasury and IRS request emergency processing of this information collection request by December 23, 2025.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Certification of Airports, 14 CFR part 139

Key Information

Abstract

Information collection requirements contained in the final rule are used by the FAA to determine an airport operator’s compliance with part 139 safety and operational requirements, and to assist airport personnel to perform duties required under the regulation. These record keeping and reporting collection requirements are mandatory for all part 139 certificated airports, or those airports applying for a part 139 certificate. Under part 139, the FAA requires airports to comply with safety requirements prior to serving operations of certain air carrier aircraft. When an airport satisfactorily complies with such requirements, the FAA issues to that facility an airport operating certificate (AOC) that permits an airport to serve air carriers. The FAA periodically inspects these airports to ensure continued compliance with part 139 safety requirements, including the maintenance of specified records. Both the application for an AOC and annual compliance inspections require operators of certificated airports to collect and report certain operational information. Specifically, operators of certificated airports are required to develop, and comply with, a written document, an Airport Certification Manual (ACM), that details how an airport will comply with the requirements of part 139. The ACM shows the means and procedures whereby the airport will be operated in compliance with part 139, plus other instructions and procedures to help personnel concerned with operation of the airport to perform their duties and responsibilities. The AOC remains in effect as long as the need exists and the operator complies with the terms of the AOC and the ACM. The certificated airport is also required to record and report to the FAA upon request certain activities, such as training and self-inspections. The frequency of gathering this data varies from daily to annually, depending on the requirement of part 139. Maintaining the ACM and the data from inspections and training is required to ensure that the airport complies with the standards of part 139’s safety and operational requirements, and to help airport personnel to perform duties required under the regulation. Additionally, certain changes in the operation of the airport must be reported to the FAA for information or approval. If an exemption is needed to commence airport operations, justification for, and FAA approval of, the exemption is required for issuance of the AOC. The operator may request FAA approval of changes to the AOC or ACM, or an exemption from part 139 requirements, by submitting justification and documentation. Also, the FAA Administrator may propose changes to the AOC or ACM and the airport operator may submit contrary evidence of argument concerning the proposed changes. The likely respondents to new information requests are those civilian U.S. airport certificate holders who operate airports that serve scheduled and unscheduled operations of air carrier aircraft with more than 30 passenger seats (approximately 539 airports). These airport operators already hold an AOC and comply with all current information collection requirements. Certain airport operators not currently certificated by the FAA also will be required to apply for a certificate under part 139 if they want to serve certain air carriers. Such airport operators would be required to complete FAA Form 5280-1, Airport Operating Certification Application, develop an ACM and provide written documentation as to when air carrier service will begin. After the FAA reviews these documents, an airport operator may be required to revise its proposed certification manual prior to being issued an AOC. Once an airport operator is issued an AOC, the operator will be required to comply with information collection requirements (similar to other certificated airports) to show compliance with part 139.
