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.
Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify, or discontinue 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.
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
This information collection applies to Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and Educational Institutions that are applying to establish an FAA-recognized identification area (FRIA). FRIAs are locations where unmanned aircraft can operate without broadcasting remote identification information. FRIAs are established through an online application process where an FAA-recognized Community-Based Organization (CBO) or educational institution submits an online application using the FAA Drone Zone website (faadronezone.faa.gov). The FAA reviews the application and determines whether a FRIA can be approved at the requested location. The locations of approved FRIAs are shown on a map using the FAA UAS Data Delivery System (UDDS) website (https://udds-faa.opendata.arcgis.com/). FRIAs are established for a period of 48 months and can be renewed. |

Part 54 – Rate-of-Return Carrier Universal Service Reporting Requirements; Waiver of Local Exchange Carrier Study Area Boundary Changes
Key Information
Abstract
This submission is being made for a proposed non-substantive change to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. This submission seeks to change the filing method of information collected on FCC Forms 507, 508 and 509. The information from the approved forms will now be collected electronically. In order to allow determination of the study areas that are entitled to an expense adjustment, and the wire centers that are entitled to high-cost universal service support, incumbent and competitive telecommunications carriers must provide certain data to the National Exchange Carrier Association or the Universal Service Administrative Company annually. Local telecommunications carriers who want to participate in the federal universal service support program must make certain informational showings to demonstrate eligibility. The data collected on FCC Forms 507, 508, and 509, will include line counts, forecasted cost and revenues, and actual cost and revenue data associated with consumer broadband-only loops necessary for the calculation of universal service high-cost support. In addition, the Commission now requires local exchange carriers seeking a change in study area boundaries to submit a petition for waiver of these boundary changes notwithstanding any prior exemptions from such waiver requests. |

Taxation of Gain or Loss from Certain Nonfunctional Currency Transactions (Section 988 Transactions)
Key Information
Authorizing Statutes
26 USC 988 (c)(1)(E) (View Law) 26 USC 988 (c)(1)(D) (View Law) 26 USC 988 (a)(1)(B) (View Law) 26 USC 988 (View Law) 26 USC 988 (d) (View Law) Abstract
Treasury Decision (TD) 8400 contains previously approved final regulations regarding the taxation of gain or loss from certain foreign currency transactions under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 988 and applies to taxpayers engaging in such transactions. Such gains and losses are characterized as ordinary income or loss. However, under IRC section 988(a)(1)(B), taxpayers may elect to characterize exchange gain or loss on certain transactions as capital gain or loss. Treasury Regulations section 1.988-3(b) provides the procedure for making the election. Under IRC section 988(c)(1)(D)(ii), taxpayers may elect to have regulated futures contracts and certain options (which generally are not subject to section 988) treated as section 988 transactions. Treasury Regulations sections 1.988-1(a)(7)(iii) and (iv) provide the procedure for making that election. Under IRC section 988(c)(1)(E)(iii), a qualified fund may elect out of section 988 with respect to certain financial transactions. Treasury Regulations section 1.988-1(a)(8)(iv) provides the procedure for making that election. Under IRC section 988(d), taxpayers may receive special treatment allowing integration with respect to certain borrowings and property if the transactions are properly identified. The identification rules are in Treasury Regulations sections 1.988-5(a)(8), 1.988-5(b)(3), and 1.988-5(c)(2). Treasury Regulations section 1.988-2(a)(2)(v) allows an accrual basis taxpayer to make an election that provides special translation rules regarding the purchase and sale of stock or securities traded on an established securities market. Treasury Regulations section 1.988-2(b)(2)(iii)(B) provides an election allowing the translation of interest income and expense using a spot accrual convention. |

Revenue Procedure 2003-39, Section 1031 LKE (Like-Kind Exchanges)
Key Information
Abstract
Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have determined that it is in the best interest of sound tax administration to provide taxpayers with guidance regarding the qualification of LKE Programs under §1031. Accordingly, this revenue procedure provides safe harbors that clarify the application of §1031 and the regulations thereunder to LKE Programs. If a taxpayer meets all of the requirements for these safe harbors, the IRS will not challenge: (a) whether a particular exchange of relinquished property and replacement property qualifies under §1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and the regulations thereunder merely because another exchange pursuant to the LKE program fails to so qualify; (b) whether a taxpayer is in actual or constructive receipt of money or other property in the context of an LKE program; or (c) whether an intermediary is a disqualified person in the context of an LKE Program. |

(TD 8656 - Final) Section 6662 - Imposition of the Accuracy-Related Penalty
Key Information
Abstract
Section 6662(e) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") defines a substantial valuation misstatement under Chapter 1 of the Code for purposes of the accuracy related penalty imposed under section 6662(a). The penalty is imposed on underpayments of tax, including those caused by a substantial valuation misstatement for transactions subject to section 482. Section 6662(e)(3)(B) provides, in general, that certain adjustments are excluded in determining whether the penalty applies if a taxpayer demonstrates that it followed certain requirements in analyzing its transfer pricing, documented that analysis, and provided that documentation to the IRS upon request. Consistent with the statute, these regulations require that taxpayers contemporaneously document their transfer pricing analysis, notify the IRS of the use of certain methods for determining an arm's length price, and provide that documentation to the IRS upon request. |
