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, or 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.
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.

| 202108-2070-005 | TSCA Mercury Inventory Reporting (RenewaL) | EPA/OCSPP | 2021-10-25 | Active | Extension without change of a currently approved collection
TSCA Mercury Inventory Reporting (RenewaL)
Key Information
Abstract
As directed in the June 2016 Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act amendments to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., EPA is required to assist in the preparation and publication in the Federal Register of an inventory of mercury supply, use, and trade in the United States. 15 U.S.C. 2607(b)(10)(B) and (D). Based on the inventory of information collected through this ICR, the Agency is directed to identify any manufacturing processes or products that intentionally add mercury and recommend actions, including proposed revisions of Federal law or regulations, to achieve further reductions in mercury use. 15 U.S.C. 2607(b)(10)(C). The primary purpose of this ICR is to support the development of that inventory. In turn, the inventory will help the Agency identify uses of mercury and recommend means to achieve further reductions of such uses in commerce. In addition, the Agency seeks to obtain the information necessary to achieve its goal to further reduce the use of mercury in products and certain manufacturing processes in order to prevent future releases to the environment, as well as assist the United States in reporting implementation under the Minamata Convention. EPA seeks to enhance its current information on how much mercury is used, in which products and manufacturing processes, and whether certain products are manufactured domestically, imported, or exported. |

Federal Firearms and Ammunition Quarterly Excise Tax Return
Key Information
Abstract
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 4181 imposes a Federal excise tax on the sale of pistols, revolvers, other firearms, and shells and cartridges (ammunition) sold by manufacturers, producers, and importers of such articles. The IRC, at 26 U.S.C. 6001, 6011, and 6302, also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations regarding IRC-based taxes, returns and records, including the mode and time for collecting taxes due. Under this authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 53 require respondents who have firearms and/or ammunition excise tax liability to submit a quarterly tax return using form TTB F 5300.26. The information collected on this return is necessary to identify the taxpayer, the amount and type of taxes due, and the amount of payments made. TTB uses the return information to determine whether the taxpayer has paid the correct amount of tax and to take additional action, such as assessment or refund, as necessary. |

Specific and Continuing Export Bonds for Distilled Spirits or Wine
Key Information
Abstract
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5175, 5214, and 5362 authorizes exporters (other than proprietors of distilled spirits plants or bonded wine premises) to withdraw distilled spirits and wine, without payment of tax, for export, use on certain vessels or aircraft, transfer to a foreign trade zone, or transfer to a customs bonded warehouse pending exportation, subject to such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury. Under that IRC authority, to protect the revenue and provide exporters with a degree of flexibility based on individual need, the TTB alcohol export regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow exporters to file either a specific bond using TTB F 5100.25 to cover a single export shipment or a continuing bond using TTB F 5100.30 to cover export shipments made from time to time. |

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Related Documents for Tax Returns and Claims (TTB REC 5000/24)
Key Information
Abstract
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is responsible for the collection of Federal excise taxes on distilled spirits, wine, beer, tobacco products, cigarette papers and tubes, and firearms and ammunition, and the collection of special occupational taxes related to tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes. The Internal Revenue Code (IRC, 26 U.S.C.) requires that such taxes be collected on the basis of a return, and it requires taxpayers to maintain records that document the information provided on such returns. The IRC also allows for the filing of claims for the abatement, credit, remission, or refund (drawback) of taxes under certain circumstances, and it requires claimants to maintain records to support such claims. TTB uses the collected information to determine the amount of excise and special occupational taxes rightly due, and to verify respondent computations on tax returns or the correctness of claims for refund or other adjustments to tax liabilities. |

National Flood Insurance Program - Mortgage Portfolio Protection Program (MPPP)
Key Information
Abstract
Regarding the MPPP, FEMA needs the information to ensure that private insurance companies that join the NFIP's WYO Program meet all state and Federal requirements for insurance companies. Requirements include a good business record and satisfactory rating in their field. There is no other way to obtain this information because it is specific to each company that applies to join the NFIP. Regarding the Ask the Advocate Web Form, the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 requires FEMA to designate a Flood Insurance Advocate that would advocate for the fair treatment of NFIP policyholders and property owners. Pursuant to this authority, FEMA established OFIA on December 22, 2014. Members of the public regularly contact OFIA seeking assistance on the NFIP. OFIA seeks to facilitate the timely and effective management of these inquiries through a web form on OFIA’s web page. The web form will allow users to provide information that includes all the data necessary for OFIA to fulfill its duties and responsibilities. |

Compliance Labeling of Reflective Material for Trailer Conspicuity
Key Information
Abstract
This information collection is mandatory under 49 CFR 571.108 for manufacturers of retroreflective sheeting. This collection involves disclosure by requiring manufacturers of retroreflective sheeting to permanently mark the letters “DOT-C2”, DOT-C3”, or “DOT-C4” at least 3mm high at regular intervals on retroreflective sheeting material having adequate performance for certifications and identification purposes. This is an as-needed collection that manufacturers comply with labeling retroreflective sheeting as being compliant with NHTSA’s performance requirements. Manufacturers of trailers and truck tractors that are required to apply retroreflective sheeting to their vehicles use the information on the label as an assurance that the sheeting complies with the standard, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) uses the information to ensure compliance with in-service requirements for regulated vehicle operators. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, “Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment” specifies requirements for vehicle lighting for the purposes of reducing crashes and the injuries and deaths resulting from crashes by providing adequate roadway illumination, improved vehicle conspicuity, and appropriate information transmission through signal lamps, in both day, night, and other conditions of reduced visibility. To provide effective trailer conspicuity, FMVSS No. 108 requires the permanent marking of the letters “DOT-C2”, DOT-C3”, or “DOT-C4” at least 3 mm high at regular intervals on retroreflective sheeting material having adequate performance for certifications and identification purposes. The manufacturers of new truck tractors and trailers are required to certify that their products are equipped with retroreflective material complying with the requirements of the standard. FMCSA enforces this and other standards through roadside inspections of trucks. There is no practical field test for the performance requirements, and labeling is the only objective way of distinguishing trailer conspicuity grade material from lower performance material. Without labeling, FMCSA would not be able to enforce the performance requirements of the standard and the compliance testing of new tractors and trailers would be complicated. Labeling is also important to small trailer manufacturers, which might not have the capability to test the tape and therefore could rely on the certification provided by the retroreflective sheeting manufacturer to help them certify compliance. Because wider stripes or material of lower brightness also can provide the minimum safety performance, the marking system serves the additional role of identifying the minimum stripe width required for retroreflective conspicuity of the particular material. Since the last notice, the estimated number of respondents, burden hours and costs were revised. The number of respondents was revised from six respondents to three, based on the number of identified manufacturers of retroreflective tape. The total burden hours were revised from one hour to three hours based on the number of respondents and required reporting tasks. The labor cost associated with the burden hours was also revised to $102.57. The total annual cost burden was revised from $1,000 to $4,000 based on the number of trailers and truck tractors registered in the United States and updated |
