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.

Inclusions to the Section 232 National Security Adjustments to Imports

Key Information

Abstract

Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1862) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to conduct comprehensive investigations to determine the effects of imports of an article on the national security of the United States. Such investigations can be initiated by an application by an interested party, a request from the head of any department or agency, or self-initiated by the Secretary. Once an investigation is initiated, the Secretary submits a report to the President on whether the importation of the article in question is occurring in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States. The President then determines whether it is necessary to take action to adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act. Several Proclamations have directed the Secretary to create a process for including additional derivative articles within the scope of the new and existing ad valorem tariffs established under Section 232.. These Proclamations broadly authorize the Secretary to include additional derivative articles within the scope of the tariffs unilaterally, or at the request of a producer (or an industry association representing one or more such producers) of such articles or derivative articles within the United States after establishing that imports of said derivative article have increased in a manner that threatens to impair the national security of the United States or otherwise undermine the objectives set forth in the investigations under Section 232 or their associated Presidential Proclamations.

10 CFR Part 150, Exemptions and Continued Regulatory Authority in Agreement States and in Offshore Waters Under Section 274

Key Information

Abstract

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations in part 150 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), provide certain exemptions to persons in Agreement States from the licensing requirements contained in Chapters 6, 7, and 8 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and certain regulations of the Commission. The regulations in 10 CFR part 150 also define the Commission’s continued regulatory authority over Agreement State activities which include byproduct, source, and special nuclear material reporting requirements related to reciprocity and enforcement. 10 CFR part 150 requires telephonic notification to the NRC when an Agreement State licensee identifies attempted theft or diversion of special nuclear material, byproduct material, and tritium. This notification must be followed by a written report either 15 or 60 days after the initial report, depending on the materials involved. If additional information is available after submission of the written report, an additional report is submitted. These reports are used to inform the Commission, staff, and other Federal agencies when special nuclear material, byproduct material, or tritium is lost or stolen.

Clearance for A-11 Section 280 Improving Customer Experience Information Collection

Key Information

Abstract

Whether seeking a loan, Social Security benefits, veterans benefits, or other services provided by the Federal Government, individuals and businesses expect Government customer services to be efficient and intuitive, just like services from leading private-sector organizations. Yet the 2016 American Consumer Satisfaction Index and the 2017 Forrester Federal Customer Experience Index show that, on average, Government services lag nine percentage points behind the private sector. A modern, streamlined and responsive customer experience means: raising government-wide customer experience to the average of the private sector service industry; developing indicators for high-impact Federal programs to monitor progress towards excellent customer experience and mature digital services; and providing the structure (including increasing transparency) and resources to ensure customer experience is a focal point for agency leadership. To support this, OMB Circular A-11 Section 280 established government-wide standards for mature customer experience organizations in government and measurement. To enable Federal programs to deliver the experience taxpayers deserve, they must undertake three general categories of activities: conduct ongoing customer research, gather and share customer feedback, and test services and digital products. These data collection efforts may be either qualitative or quantitative in nature or may consist of mixed methods. Additionally, data may be collected via a variety of means, including but not limited to electronic or social media, direct or indirect observation (i.e., in person, video and audio collections), interviews, questionnaires, surveys, and focus groups. Veterans Experience Office will limit its inquiries to data collections that solicit strictly voluntary opinions or responses. Steps will be taken to ensure anonymity of respondents in each activity covered by this request. The results of the data collected will be used to improve the delivery of Federal services and programs. It will include the creation of personas, customer journey maps, and reports and summaries of customer feedback data and user insights.

Records of Operations - Importer of Tobacco Products or Processed Tobacco

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5741 requires all manufacturers and importers of tobacco products, processed tobacco, or cigarette papers and tubes, and all export warehouse proprietors to keep records as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes by regulation, subject to government inspection during business hours. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 41 require importers of tobacco products or processed tobacco to maintain usual and customary records kept during the normal course of business showing the receipt and disposition of imported tobacco products or processed tobacco. TTB uses the collected information to ensure that importers’ activities comply with the relevant provisions of the IRC and that processed tobacco, which is not taxed, is not diverted to taxable tobacco product manufacturing.

The Department of Labor (Department), Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is submitting this Information Collection Request (ICR) to implement and collect an annual Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) state plan as described in Section 306(e) of the Social Security Act (SSA). On February 9, 2018, the President signed the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, Public Law 115-123 (BBA), which included amendments to the SSA that create a permanent authorization for the RESEA program. Section 306 of the SSA introduced several new program requirements including the requirement that states must submit an annual state plan to be considered eligible for funding. To be considered eligible for RESEA funding for a Fiscal Year, a state must submit a state plan that outlines how the state intends to conduct a program of reemployment services and eligibility assessments by responding to all the required elements identified in Section 306(e) of the SSA and this ICR.

Section 25F of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) allows for State to voluntarily elect to participate in advance of providing to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) a list of the scholarship granting organizations (SGOs) that meet the requirements of IRC section 25F(c)(5) and are located in the State. Form 15714 provides an authorized State representative an easy method to elect participation under IRC section 25F. Revenue Procedure 2025-XX provides guidance regarding a procedure for a State to voluntarily elect to participate under IRC section 25F.Emergency Justfication:The Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are requesting, under emergency procedures, a new OMB Control Number 1545-NEW in connection with implementing section 70411 of Public Law 119-21, 139 Stat. 72, 176 (July 4, 2025), commonly known as the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Section 70411 of the OBBBA enacted a new nonrefundable income tax credit (§ 25F credit) under 26 U.S.C. 25F allowable to a taxpayer for a qualified contribution made to a scholarship granting organization (SGO) in a covered state by an individual who is a U.S. citizen or resident under 26 U.S.C. 7701(a)(9). A “covered state” is defined as one of the 50 States or the District of Columbia (State), that, for a calendar year, voluntarily elects to participate under § 25 and provides a list that identifies SGOs in the State for the applicable calendar year. For an individual’s contribution to an SGO to be a qualified contribution eligible for a § 25F credit for a given calendar year, a State must thus voluntarily elect to participate under § 25F and have identified the SGO in accordance with § 25F(g). Section 25F(g)(1) provides that a State that voluntarily elects to participate under § 25F must provide a list of SGOs that meet the requirements described in § 25F(c)(5) and are located in the State by “January 1 of each calendar year (or, with respect to the first calendar year for which this section applies [i.e., 2027], as early as practicable).” The Treasury Department and the IRS have received several comments from States and other stakeholders from around the country regarding the urgency of allowing States to make Advance Elections to identify as a covered state in advance of submitting its SGO list. Specifically, commenters stated that Advance Elections as early as January 1, 2026 are critical to ensuring SGOs can be established and ready to operate by January 1, 2027; that SGOs need time to establish infrastructure and attract donors prior to January 1, 2027; and that potential SGOs need sufficient time to prepare for the commencement of this new tax credit in 2027 by organizing themselves to as valid SGOs, starting to solicit contributions to be received in early 2027, and developing processes to identify and award scholarships in accordance with § 25F. Any potential SGO would be unwilling to invest the necessary effort and cost in commencing these activities without first knowing that a State will be a covered state. Commenters asked that the period for a State to make an Advance Election begin January 1, 2026, to allow time necessary for States, SGOs, parents, students, and donors to prepare for the 2027 inaugural year. To respond to this immediate need of States and SGOs, Rev. Proc. 2025-XX provides procedures for States to make an “Advance Election” to participate under § 25F, beginning on January 1, 2026, which is critical for many States to identify as a covered state in advance of providing the State’s list of SGOs for 2027. Specifically, section 4 of Rev. Proc. 2025-XX allows States to make an Advance Election by submitting Form 15714 on or after January 1, 2026, in advance of the submission of the State’s SGO list for calendar year 2027. Form 15714 for calendar year 2027, and submission instructions, will be available before January 1, 2026, at www.irs.gov. The IRS needs to release Rev. Proc. 2025-XX and Form 15714 as soon as possible so that States have the option to make an Advance Election as early as January 1, 2026, for the benefit of all relevant stakeholders.

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the regulations published at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOOO were proposed on August 23, 2011, promulgated on August 16, 2012, and most recently amended on March 8, 2024. These regulations apply to oil and natural gas facilities that commence construction, modification or reconstruction after August 23, 2011, and on or before September 19, 2015, that are involved in the extraction and production of oil and natural gas, as well as the processing, transmission, and distribution of natural gas. Facilities that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after September 18, 2015 and on or before December 6, 2022 are subject to 40 CFR 60, Subpart OOOOa. Facilities that commence construction, modification, or reconstruction after December 6, 2022 are subject to 40 CFR 60, Subpart OOOOb. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOOO. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS.

Abstract

The State Court Improvement Program (CIP) provides federal funding to state courts to assess their child welfare and judicial practices and develop and implement improvement plans. Two collections are necessary to properly administer the State CIP: an annual year-end self-assessment report with an updated strategic plan, both approved under this OMB number. This current request includes revisions to reflect new legislation as well as to support technical assistance. Authorizing legislation makes it clear that an application is required in order for State courts to receive CIP funding. See supplementary document titled SSA Section 438 for additional information.
