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.

Drawback Process Regulations and Entry Collection Documents

Key Information

Abstract

The collections of information related to the drawback process are required as per 19 CFR part 190 (Modernized Drawback), which provides for refunds of duties, taxes, and fees for certain merchandise that is imported into the United States where there is a subsequent related exportation or destruction. All claims for drawback, sometimes referred to as TFTEA-Drawback, must be filed electronically in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), in accordance with the Trade Facilitation Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 (TFTEA) (Pub. L. 114–125, 130 Stat. 122), and in compliance with the regulations in part 190, 181 (NAFTA Drawback) and 182 (USMCA Drawback).  Specific information on completing a claim is available in the drawback CBP and Trade Automated Interface Requirement (CATAIR) document at: https://www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/ace-drawback-catair-guidelines. CBP Form 7553, Notice of Intent to Export, Destroy or Return Merchandise for Purposes of Drawback (NOI), documents both the exportation and destruction of merchandise eligible for drawback. The NOI is the official notification to CBP that an exportation or destruction will occur for drawback eligible merchandise. The CBP Form 7553 has been updated to comply with TFTEA-Drawback requirements and is accessible at http://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms. Relevant Regulations and Statutes: Title 19, part 190 - https://ecfr.io/Title-19/Part-190 19 USC 1313 - https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2011-title19/pdf/USCODE-2011-title19-chap4-subtitleII-partI-sec1313.pdf 19 USC 1313 authorizes the information collected on the CBP form 7553 as well as in the ACE system for the electronic drawback claim. The New Data Elements in ACE for Drawback include the following: 1. Substituted Value per Unit 2. Entry Summary Line Item Number 3. Bill of Materials/Formula 4. Certificate of Delivery/Drawback Eligibility Indicator 5. Import Tracing Identification Number (ITIN) 6. Manufacture Tracing Identification Number (MTIN) 7. Certification for Valuation of Destroyed Merchandise 8. Substituted Unused Wine Certification 9. Certification of Eligibility for AP and/or WPN Privilege(s) 10. Identification of Accounting Methodology 11. Indicator for Notice of Intent to Export or Destroy 12. Indicator for Waiver of Drawback Claim Rights New data elements added to the CBP Form 7553: 1. Continuation sheet(#15-19) 2. Line item number added (#15) 3. Rejected merchandise box added (#20) 4. Instructions were edited to comply with TFTEA-Drawback requirements This collection of information applies to the individuals and companies in the trade community who are and are not familiar with drawback, importing and exporting procedures, and with the CBP regulations. Please note that CBP Forms 7551 and 7552 are both abolished. From February 24, 2019, onward, TFTEA-Drawback, as provided for in part 190, is the only legal framework for filing drawback claims. No new drawback claims may be filed under the paper-based processes previously provided for in part 191 (Drawback). Sections 190.51, 190.52, and 190.53 provide the requirements to submit a drawback claim electronically. The provisions of part 190 are similar to the provisions in part 191, except where necessary to outline all the data elements for a complete claim (previously contained in CBP form 7551) and modify those requirements to comply with TFTEA-Drawback. CBP form 7552, Certificates of Delivery and Certificates of Manufacturing & Delivery will no longer be requested or accepted to demonstrate the transfer of merchandise. Sections 190.10 and 190.24 require that any transfers of merchandise must be evidenced by business records, as defined in section 190.2.

Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) for Lead and Copper (The Lead and Copper Rule or LCR), promulgated by the EPA in 1991, is a regulation promulgated under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The LCRs goal is to reduce the levels of lead and copper in drinking water. The Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) require community and non-transient non-community water systems to optimize corrosion control and, under specified conditions, install source water treatment, conduct public education, and/or replace lead service lines (LSLs) in the distribution system. The LCRR also expands public education requirements for lead, requires greater public access to information on lead, and further targets sensitive subpopulations by requiring additional lead in drinking water testing at schools and childcare facilities. This ICR estimates the incremental burden impacts of revisions to the LCR in terms of the burden and costs for the first three years after the final rule is published (estimated as 2020). It modifies the extension to the ICR entitled Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts, Chemical, and Radionuclides Rules (80 Federal Register 78224, December 16, 2015, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number 2040-0204), which expires on March 31, 2023 and estimates the burden and costs associated with the previous LCR, as well as other rules, (the 2015 ICR).The Long-Term Revisions are intended to strengthen the implementation of the LCR in the areas of CCT, customer awareness, and LSLR. The changes are expected to ensure and enhance the protection of public health through the reduction in lead exposure in drinking water. The AL and maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) have not changed in the LCRR. A new lead TL, however, has been added.

Alteration of Unreasonable Obstructive Bridges

Key Information

Abstract

Under the provisions of 33 U.S.C. 494, 502, 511, 513, 514, 515 516, 517, 521, 522, 523 and 524 the Commandant of the Coast Guard is authorized to determine if a bridge is an unreasonable obstruction to navigation. If a bridge is determined to be unreasonably obstructive under the Truman-Hobbs Act, then under the provisions of 33 U.S.C. 514 the bridge owner is required to prepare and submit general plans, specifications, and, if necessary geographic location to provide for the alteration of the unreasonably obstructive bridge. These plans and specifications submitted by the bridge owner will assist the Commandant in determining under the provisions of 33 U.S.C. 516 the apportionment of cost between the United States and the bridge owner and under 33 U.S.C. 517 the partial payments to be made by the United States to the bridge owner as the alteration progresses.

Request for Approval to Travel to a Restricted Country or Area

Key Information

Abstract

The Secretary of State may exercise authority, under 22 U.S.C. 211a, Executive Order 11295 (August 5, 1966), and 22 C.F.R. 51.63, to invalidate all U.S. passports for travel to a country or area if he determines that any of three conditions exist: the country is at war with the United States; armed hostilities are in progress in the country or area; or there is imminent danger to the public health or physical safety of U.S. travelers in the country or area. The regulations of the Department of State provide that an individual’s passport may be considered for validation for travel to, in, or through a country or area despite such restriction if the individual’s travel is determined to fall within one of several categories established by the regulations. 22 C.F.R. 51.64. Without the requisite validation, use of a U.S. passport for travel to, in, or through a restricted country or area may justify revocation of the passport for misuse under 22 C.F.R. 51.62(a)(2) and subject the traveler to felony prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 1544 for misuse of a passport or other applicable laws. The categories of persons specified in 22 C.F.R. 51.64(b) as being eligible for consideration for passport validation are as follows: (a) An applicant who is a professional reporter and journalist whose trip is for the purpose of collecting and making available to the public information about the restricted country or area; (b) An applicant who is a representative of the American Red Cross or the International Committee of the Red Cross on official mission to the restricted country or area; (c) An applicant whose trip to the restricted country or area is justified by compelling humanitarian considerations; or (d) An applicant whose trip to the restricted country or area is otherwise in the national interest. The proposed information collection solicits data necessary for the Passport Services Directorate to determine whether an applicant is eligible to receive a special validation in his or her U.S. passport book permitting the applicant to make one round-trip to a restricted country or area.

Verification Request and Verification Request Supplement

Key Information

Abstract

In the verification process, a participating agency validates an applicant's immigration status by inputting identifying information into the Verification Information System (VIS), which executes immigration status queries against a range of data sources. If VIS returns an immigration status and the benefit-issuing agency does not find a material discrepancy with the response and the documents provided by the applicant, the verification process is complete. Then, the agency may use that immigration status information in determining whether or not to issue the benefit. In some cases, agencies that do not access the automated verification system may query USCIS by filing Form G-845. Although the Form G-845 does not require it, if needed certain agencies may also file the Form G-845 Supplement with the Form G-845, along with copies of immigration documents to receive additional information necessary to make their benefit determinations. These forms were developed to facilitate communication between all benefit-granting agencies and USCIS to ensure that basic information required to assess status verification requests is provided. USCIS is making minor revisions to the Form G-845 and is streamlining the Form G-845 Supplement with additional immigration statuses that are commonly requested by agencies in order to make their benefit determinations.

Procedures for State, Tribal, and Local Government Historic Preservation Programs; 36 CFR 61

Key Information

Abstract

The National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.), as amended, established the programs and 36 CFR 61 further defined the programs for which NPS created these information collections. The programs relating to these information collections have been in operation for at least 20 years. The Act does not require State, tribal, or local governments to participate in these programs. Those that do participate must meet certain requirements to maintain their eligibility for the programs and the associated funding. Each State and tribe approved and local government certified under these requirements is eligible to receive grant assistance. 36 CFR 61 details the processes for approval of State and tribal programs, the certification of local governments, and the monitoring and evaluation of State and CLG programs in a manner that ensures the propriety of the uses of this Federal assistance.
