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.

Per Diem to States for Care of Eligible Veterans in State Homes

Key Information

Abstract

Authority for this information collection is from Title 38 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 51, Per Diem for Nursing Home, Domiciliary or Adult Day Health Care of Veterans in State Veterans Homes published in the Federal Register as final rule on November 28, 2018 (RIN 2900-A088). This collection of forms is approved under OMB Control Number 2900-0883. These six forms (10-0143, 10-0143A, 10-0144, 10-0144A, 10-0460a and 10-3567) are presented to and completed by State Veterans Homes (SVH) management under Subpart B of the CFR Part 51 and then assessed for compliance to applicable regulations under Subparts D, E or F by VA contracted vendors during a VA survey at each State Veterans Home (SVH) across the U.S. as a regulatory action. This collection of forms falls under the auspices of The Office of Geriatrics and Extended Care in VA Central Office (12GEC). As per VHA Directive 1145.01, this collection of forms is part of the VA survey process. The legal requirements that necessitate this collection of information are found specifically at title 38 CFR Parts §51.31, §51.43 and §51.210 for all three levels of care: nursing home, domiciliary, and adult day health care. VA is requesting to replace VA Form 10-0460 Request for Prescription Drugs from an Eligible Veteran in a State Home with a MS Excel file, 10-0460a, that will document and record any SVH request for VA Medical Center (VAMC) furnished medications or VAMC reimbursement of medications that will identify how the Veteran meets regulatory eligibility criteria specified in §51.43. The MS Excel file will be a monthly exchange of information between the SVH and the VAMC to assure compliance with federal regulations. The MS Excel file, 10-0460a,will take the place of the current VA Form 10-0460.

Application for Registration for Tax-Free Firearms and Ammunition Transactions Under 26 U.S.C. 4221.

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 4181 imposes a Federal excise tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition sold by manufacturers, producers, and importers. Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 4221, no excise tax is imposed on certain sales of firearms and ammunition, provided that the seller and purchaser of the articles (with certain exceptions) are registered as required by 26 U.S.C. 4222 and the related regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under that IRC authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations at 27 CFR 53.140 prescribe the use of form TTB F 5300.28 as the application to obtain an approved Certificate of Registry to sell or purchase firearms and ammunition tax free. TTB uses the collected information to determine if the respondent is qualified to engage in tax-free sales and issue the required certificate. In addition, once registered, persons registered make certain amendments to their previously provided information by filing an amended TTB F 5300.28 or by filing a letterhead notice.

Record of Carbon Dioxide Measurement in Effervescent Products Taxed as Hard Cider

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5041, defines and imposes six Federal excise tax rates on wine, which vary by the wine’s alcohol and carbon dioxide content. Wines with no more than 0.392 grams of carbon dioxide per 100 milliliters are taxed as still wine at $1.07, $1.57, or $3.15 per gallon, depending on their alcohol content, while wines with more than 0.392 grams of carbon dioxide per 100 milliliters are taxed as effervescent wine at $3.30 per gallon if artificially carbonated or $3.40 per gallon if naturally carbonated. However, under those IRC provisions, certain apple- and pear-based wines are subject to the “hard cider” tax rate of $0.226 per gallon if the product contains no more than 0.64 grams of carbon dioxide per 100 milliliters of wine and does not exceed 8.5 percent alcohol by volume. Given the significant difference in those excise tax rates which, in part, depend on the level of a wine's effervescence, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations at 27 CFR 24.302 require proprietors who produce or receive effervescent hard cider to record the amount of carbon dioxide in the product. This recordkeeping requirement is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to verify during field audits a respondent's compliance with the statutory definition of wine eligible for the hard cider tax rate.

Medicare Health Outcomes Survey Field Test (CMS-10861)

Key Information

Abstract

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has fielded the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (HOS) annually since 1998. The HOS is a national survey of Medicare managed care plan enrollees that provides data that permit the calculation of both longitudinal and cross-sectional measures of plan performance that are publicly reported to assist Medicare beneficiaries in making enrollment decisions. This request is to conduct a field test to evaluate potential new survey items, alternatives to existing survey content, and the effects of a web-based survey administration mode on response patterns and measure scores. CMS’s goal is a refined and shorter HOS survey instrument with new and methodologically simpler cross-sectional and longitudinal measures, expanded measurement of physical functioning and mental health, and the addition of survey items that support CMS’s efforts to measure and address health equity.

Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program Data

Key Information

Abstract

The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to expand benefits and services to victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons in the United States (U.S.), without regard to their immigration status. The TVPA also authorizes HHS to establish and strengthen programs to assist United States citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced sex trafficking or severe forms of trafficking in persons (22 U.S.C. § 7105(f)(1)). Acting under a delegation of authority from the Secretary of HHS, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) awards cooperative agreements to organizations to establish a program to assist U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced human trafficking through the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking (DVHT) Program. The central purpose of the DVHT Program is to connect survivors with the services they need to improve their well-being and health outcomes. Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking Program Data (OMB #0970-0542) is an active and approved collection of client-level data on those served through the DVHT Program. The information collected allows ACF to evaluate service delivery efforts, inform prevention programming, and monitor program outcomes. In addition to client-level data, information on the type and cost of services provided through the program is collected to enable ACF to respond to congressional inquiries related to program spending and to provide technical assistance to grant recipients on managing available funding for individuals and households enrolled in the program. DVHT currently inclusive of two distinct award programs: the Domestic Victims of Human Trafficking and Services Outreach Program (DVHT-SO) and the Demonstration Grants to Strengthen the Response to Victims of Human Trafficking in Native Communities (VHT-NC) Program. The performance indicators and data collection instruments under OMB #0970-0542 apply to both DVHT programs. The primary objective of OTIP’s victim assistance programs, including DVHT, is to provide comprehensive, culturally and linguistically responsive case management to individuals who have experienced a severe form of trafficking in persons. Current DVHT recipients have reported concerns over competing requirements and priorities under their awards, which made it difficult to balance direct service provision against training activities for community-based providers and members of the general public. Grant recipients have also cited concerns over the lack of foundational knowledge within their communities as to what constitutes human trafficking victimization, which has impacted their ability to identify potential victims and connect those individuals with services. Beginning in FY 2024, so as to reduce reporting burden on recipients and strengthen public awareness within the geographic service areas where recipients implement their programs, training is no longer required or an allowable activity under DVHT. These updated requirements pertaining to allowable and required programmatic activities were made public through the most recent NOFOs and grant award processes and are already in effect. As such, we are requesting to remove the training indicators from OMB #0970-0542 and to make a minor update to the Outreach form for recipients to report on their public awareness activities.

Notices of Enforcement Discretion (NOEDs) for Operating Power Reactors and Gaseous Diffusion Plants (GDP), (NRC Enforcement Policy)

Key Information

Abstract

The NRC’s Enforcement Policy includes the circumstances in which the NRC may grant a NOED. On occasion, circumstances arise when a power plant licensee’s compliance with a Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation or any other license condition would involve an unnecessary plant shutdown or transient. Similarly, for a gaseous diffusion plant, circumstances may arise where compliance with a Technical Safety Requirement (TSR) or other condition would unnecessarily call for a total plant shutdown, or, compliance would unnecessarily place the plant in a condition where safety, safeguards, or security features were degraded or inoperable. In these circumstances, a licensee or certificate holder may request that the NRC exercise enforcement discretion, and the NRC staff may choose to not enforce the applicable TS, TSR, or other license or certificate condition. This enforcement discretion is designated as a NOED. A licensee or certificate holder seeking the issuance of a NOED must justify, in accordance with NRC Enforcement Manual, the safety basis for the request, including an evaluation of the safety significance and potential consequences of the proposed request, a description of proposed compensatory measures, a justification for the duration of the request, the basis for the licensee's or certificate holder’s conclusion that the request does not have a potential adverse impact on the public health and safety, and does not involve adverse consequences to the environment, and any other information the NRC staff deems necessary before making a decision to exercise discretion.

Usual and Customary Business Records Relating to Denatured Spirits (TTB REC 5150/1)

Key Information

Abstract

Denatured distilled spirits, which generally are not subject to Federal excise tax, may be used for industrial purposes in the manufacture of nonbeverage products. To prevent diversion of denatured spirits to taxable beverage use, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5271–5275 imposes a system of permits, bonds, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements on persons that procure or use such alcohol. Those IRC sections also authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations regarding those matters. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 20 require industrial alcohol users to keep certain usual and customary business records regarding the distribution, procurement, and use of denatured spirits. TTB uses the required records to account for denatured spirits and ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.

Combined Alcohol Excise Tax Returns and Operations Reports—Pilot Test

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5061, the Federal excise tax on distilled spirits, wine, and beer is collected on the basis of a return which taxpayers file on a semi-monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, depending on the amount of their annual tax liability (see 26 U.S.C. 5061(d)(4)). In addition, under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5207, 5367, and 5415, taxpayers for distilled spirits, wine, and beer, respectively, must furnish reports of operations and transactions as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation. Currently, under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR chapter I require alcohol excise taxpayers to report their excise tax liability using form TTB F 5000.24, Excise Tax Return, approved under OMB No. 1513–0083. In addition, alcohol excise taxpayers must file operations reports accounting for their production, removals, losses, and certain other matters that effect their excise tax liability. Distilled spirits plant proprietors file up to four separate operations reports on a monthly basis on TTB F 5110.11, TTB F 5110.28, TTB F 5110.40, and TTB F 5110.43, approved under OMB Nos. 1513–0039, 1513–0041, 1513–0047, and 1513–0049, concerning, respectively, storage, processing, production, and denaturing operations. Wine premises proprietors file monthly operations reports on TTB F 5120.17, approved under OMB No. 1513–0053. Brewers, depending on their annual tax liability, file operations reports either on a monthly basis using TTB F 5130.9 or on a quarterly basis using TTB F 5130.9 or TTB F 5130.26, both of which are approved under OMB No. 1513–0007. As part of TTB’s efforts to lower respondent burden, the Bureau is developing a combined tax return and simplified operations report and intends to pilot its use with alcohol excise taxpayers. Under this pilot, alcohol excise taxpayers will submit a letterhead application to join the pilot program as an alternative method to their filing the current tax return and operations reports under existing regulatory requirements. Once approved, taxpayers participating in the pilot program will file their combined alcohol excise return and simplified operations report under the due dates currently applicable to their excise tax returns. The collected information will allow TTB to identify the excise taxpayer, the amount of taxes due, and the amount of payment made. Additionally, the collected information will allow TTB to identify the amount of distilled spirits, wine, or beer the taxpayer produced, removed, transferred, and disposed of during the reporting period, which effects the amount of alcohol excise tax due, while reducing the overall burden of filing separate tax returns and operations reports. TTB is beginning this pilot test program with the information collection and instruments related to the combined beer excise tax and operations report; it will issue information collections and instruments related to the wine and distilled spirits excise tax and operations reports at later dates.

Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery

Key Information

Abstract

The information collection activity will garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration's commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: the target population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing potential non-response bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results.
