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.

Cooperative Agreement to Support Navigators in Federally-facilitated and State Partnership Exchanges (CMS-10463)

Key Information

Abstract

On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. On March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 was also signed into law. The two laws collectively are referred to as the Affordable Care Act . The Affordable Care Act created State-based health insurance Exchanges (Marketplaces), competitive marketplaces where consumers and small businesses can purchase private health insurance. Consumers who access health insurance coverage through a Marketplace can receive direct assistance from Navigators authorized to help consumers through the registration, eligibility determination, and plan selection process as they enroll in coverage. Section 1311(i) requires that a Marketplace establish a Navigator program under which it awards grants to individuals or entities who satisfy the requirements to be Exchange Navigators. Navigators will assist consumers by providing education about and facilitating selection of qualified health plans (QHPs) within Exchanges, as well as other required duties. For Federally-facilitated Marketplaces (FFMs) and State Partnership Marketplaces (SPMs), CMS will be awarding these grants.

MCC Restricted Data Use Application

Key Information

Abstract

MCC is committed to providing public access to high-value data collected as part of the development, implementation, and evaluation of MCC-funded assistance programs, while being equally committed to protecting the confidentiality of individuals and organizations from which the data are collected. To achieve these twin aims, MCC publishes de-identified public use files of microdata on its website through the MCC Evaluation Catalog. In addition, MCC plans to make restricted data files available in cases where the de-identification efforts for public use files would significantly impair the analytic potential of the data, or where the data contain highly sensitive information that cannot be shared as a public-use file. However, access to restricted data will only be granted to users who meet eligibility criteria and agree to terms of access established by MCC, including agreeing to follow strict requirements for maintaining data confidentiality. The MCC Restricted Data Use Application collects information that will be used by MCC and its data steward, the University of Michigan’s Interagency Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), to evaluate whether respondents qualify for access to MCC’s restricted data. The application, which will be submitted electronically, requires the provision of specific information by the respondent, such as (i) the name, contact information, and CV/Resume/Biosketch for each person that will access the restricted data, (ii) a research proposal describing the need for the data and how it will be used, (iii) evidence of Institutional Review Board approval or exemption of the research proposal, and (iv) a signed restricted data use agreement.

Key Information

Abstract

The General Mining Law (30 U.S.C. 29, 30, and 39) authorizes a holder of an unpatented claim for hardrock minerals to apply for fee title (patent) to the federal land (as well as minerals) embraced in the claim. Division G, Title I of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law No. 116–260), annual appropriation bill for the Department of the Interior, has prevented the BLM from processing mineral patent applications unless the applications were grandfathered under the initial legislation. While grandfathered applications are rare at present, the approval to collect the information continues to be necessary because of the possibility that the moratorium will be lifted and applicable regulations that contain the information are still part of the Code of Federal Regulations. Therefore, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is requesting that OMB renew this OMB control number of an additional three (3) years.

Offer in Compromise of Liability Incurred under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act

Key Information

Abstract

To regulate interstate and foreign commerce in alcohol beverages, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act; 27 U.S.C. 201 et seq.) requires certain industry members to obtain basic permits from the Secretary of the Treasury, and it prohibits unfair trade practices and deceptive advertising and labeling of alcohol beverages. Under the FAA Act at 27 U.S.C. 207, violations of the Act are subject to civil and criminal penalties, but the Secretary is authorized to accept monetary compromise for such alleged violations. Under that authority, the TTB regulations allow a proponent or their agent to submit a monetary offer in compromise to resolve alleged FAA Act violations using form TTB F 5640.2. The form identifies the proponent, the alleged violation(s) the amount of the compromise offer, and the reason(s) why TTB should accept the offer. TTB uses the collected information to evaluate the adequacy of the compromise offer in relation to the alleged violation(s) of the FAA Act and to determine if it should accept the offer or pursue civil penalties or criminal prosecution against the alleged violator.

Special (Occupational) Tax Registration and Returns

Key Information

Abstract

Before July 1, 2008, various sections of chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) required alcohol industry members to register for and pay an annual special occupational tax (SOT). However, section 11125 of Public Law 109–59 permanently repealed, effective July 1, 2008, the SOT on alcohol beverage producers and marketers, non-beverage product manufacturers, tax-free alcohol users, and specially denatured spirits users and dealers, but any SOT liabilities incurred for periods before that date remain. Also, while most SOT requirements for the alcohol industry were repealed, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5124 continues to require wholesale and retail alcohol dealers to register with the Secretary of the Treasury when commencing or ending business or when certain changes to existing registration information are necessary. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5731 and 5732 continues to require manufacturers of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, as well as export warehouse proprietors, to register and pay an annual SOT by the use of a return. The registrations and SOT payments for such entities are due on or before the date of commencing business, and on or before July 1 of every year after that. Under the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 31, alcohol industry members with pre-July 1, 2008, SOT liabilities use TTB F 5630.5a as the return for such liabilities, while wholesale and retail alcohol dealers register or report registration changes on TTB F 5630.5d. Under the TTB regulations in 27 CFR parts 40, 44, and 46, tobacco industry members use TTB F 5630.5t to register and pay SOT. This collection is necessary to ensure the registration and SOT provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied.

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5114, 5173, 5272, 5354, 5401, and 5711, requires certain alcohol and tobacco industry proprietors to post a collateral or surety bond in conformity with regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury to ensure payment of Federal taxes due on alcohol or tobacco products should a proprietor default. When circumstances of an industry member's operation change from those described in an existing surety bond agreement, the TTB regulations authorized under those IRC sections allow the proprietor to complete form TTB F 5000.18, Change in Bond (Consent of Surety), in lieu of obtaining a new bond. Once executed by the proprietor and the surety company, the proprietor files the form with TTB, which retains it as long as the revised bond agreement remains in force.

Offer in Compromise of Liability Incurred under the Provisions of Title 26 U.S.C. Enforced and Administered by TTB; Collection Information Statements for Individuals and Businesses

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 7122 provides that the Secretary of the Treasury may compromise any civil or criminal case arising under the IRC, including tax liabilities, in lieu of civil or criminal action. Under this authority, the TTB regulations require persons who wish to make an offer in compromise for violations of the IRC to use form TTB F 5640.1 to identify the tax liabilities or violations being compromised, the amount of the compromise offer, and the respondent’s reasons for believing that the offer should be accepted. To support requests for installment payments of compromise offers, TTB may require individual and business respondents to supply information documenting financial hardship on TTB F 5600.17 and TTB F 5600.18, respectively. The information required under this collection is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to determine the adequacy of the offer in compromise in relation to the alleged violations of the law and to develop a payment plan if the individual or business is unable to immediately pay an accepted offer in compromise in full.

Abstract

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) in the US Department of Education (ED) requests clearance for a new information collection for the discretionary grant application for the Project Prevent program. The Project Prevent grant program provides grants to local educational agencies (LEAs) to increase their capacity to help schools in communities with pervasive violence to better address the needs of affected students and to break the cycle of violence in those communities. This program is authorized under section 4631(a)(1)(B) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) (20 U.S.C. 7281). The first Project Prevent grant competition was held in 2019 and was exempt from rulemaking under Section 437(d)(1) of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA). At this time, the Department is proposing priorities, requirements, and a definition under the Project Prevent grant program. The proposed requirements contain information collection requirements.

Key Information

Abstract

To provide consumers with adequate information as to the identity of alcohol beverages and to prevent consumer deception and the use of misleading statements in the marketing of such products, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act at 27 U.S.C. 205(e) requires that alcohol beverages sold or introduced into interstate or foreign commerce be labeled in conformity with regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under that authority, the TTB regulations require that, prior to an alcohol beverage product’s introduction into interstate or foreign commerce, the producer, bottler, or importer of the product apply for and receive TTB approval of the product’s label. For wines and distilled spirits, such respondents also may apply for exemption from label approval for products not sold or entered into interstate or foreign commerce. For distilled spirits, the TTB regulations also require approval of distinctive liquor bottles. Respondents use form TTB F 5100.31 or its electronic equivalent, COLAs Online, to request and obtain label approval, exemption from label approval, or approval of a distinctive liquor bottle. The form serves as both an application for and, if approved by TTB, a certificate of label approval (COLA), a certificate of exemption from label approval, or distinctive liquor bottle approval.

Excise Tax Return - Alcohol and Tobacco (Puerto Rico)

Key Information

Abstract

Under its statutory and delegated authorities, TTB is responsible for the collection of the Federal excise taxes imposed on distilled spirits, wine, beer, tobacco products, and cigarette papers and tubes by chapters 51 and 52 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). As provided at 26 U.S.C. 5061(a) and 26 U.S.C. 5703(b), the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) requires that those taxes be collected on the basis of a return, filed for the periods, at the times, and containing the information the Secretary of the Treasury requires by regulation. The IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7652(a) also provides that taxes imposed by the IRC on domestic articles, including those on alcohol and tobacco products, apply at the same rates to similar products manufactured in Puerto Rico and brought into the United States, to be paid and collected under such regulations as the Secretary shall issue. In addition, section 7652(a) requires the majority of such taxes to be transferred into the treasury of Puerto Rico. Issued under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 26 (for distilled spirits, wine, and beer) and part 41 (for tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes), prescribe the use of TTB F 5000.25, Excise Tax Return – Alcohol and Tobacco (Puerto Rico) for the collection of the excise taxes imposed by 26 U.S.C. 7652(a).

Under that IRC authority, TTB has issued regulations in 27 CFR part 44 governing such drawback claims. Those regulations allow drawback for tax-paid tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes shipped to a foreign country, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, or a possession of the United States, but only when the person who paid the tax files a claim and otherwise complies with the relevant regulations. Specific to this information collection request, the part 44 regulations require that such drawback claims be filed on form TTB F 5620.7, and that all such claims must be accompanied by a bond filed on form TTB F 5200.17. Under the regulations, claimants also must file evidence with TTB that the articles in question landed at a foreign port or were lost after export. In addition, claimants may file letterhead applications for relief from certain regulatory requirements regarding evidence of export or loss.

Voluntary Chemist Certification Program Applications, Notices, and Records

Key Information

Abstract

TTB offers the Voluntary Chemist Certification Program as a service to the alcohol beverage industry to facilitate export of beverage alcohol to foreign markets. Many countries that require testing as a condition of entry for alcohol beverages accept a report of analysis of those alcohol beverages from a TTB-certified chemist. This certification program ensures that chemists, enologists, brewers, and technicians have the required proficiencies to conduct the required chemical analyses and generate quality data. This information collection includes the letterhead applications for certification, submission of certification test results, requests for TTB-affirmed reports of analysis, and letterhead notices of changes in chemist employment place or status. Under this program, certified chemists and their laboratories must also maintain usual and customary records regarding all analytical results conducted under the TTB certification, and records related to laboratory equipment, quality control policies, procedures and systems, and analyst training and competence.

Removals of Tobacco Products, and Cigarette Papers and Tubes without Payment of Tax

Key Information

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5704(b) provides that a manufacturer or export warehouse proprietor may, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary, transfer tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, without payment of tax, to the bonded premises of another such entity, or may remove such articles, without payment of tax, for export or consumption beyond the jurisdiction of the internal revenue laws of the United States. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5722 requires that manufacturers of tobacco product and cigarette papers and tubes and export warehouse proprietors make reports as the Secretary may by regulation require. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 44 require manufacturers and export warehouse proprietors to report each such removal to TTB on form TTB F 5200.14, or, under the alternate procedure described in TTB Industry Circular 2004-3, respondents may submit a Monthly Summary Report of such removals provided that the export of each removal is documented by records maintained at the respondent's premises. Respondents also submit letterhead notices to modify certain information on previously-submitted TTB F 5200.1 forms, and they also submit letterhead applications to request TTB authorization to use the alternative Monthly Summary Report procedure. The collected information allows TTB to account for removals of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes made without payment of tax and assists in preventing the diversion of such articles to taxable uses. As such, the collected information is necessary to protect the revenue.
