DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Internal Revenue Service
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Regulation Project
AGENCY:
Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.
ACTION:
Notice and request for comments.
SUMMARY:
The Department of the Treasury, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). Currently, the IRS is soliciting comments concerning Election Out of GST Deemed Allocations.
DATES:
Written comments should be received on or before September 27, 2013 to be assured of consideration.
ADDRESSES:
Direct all written comments to Yvette Lawrence, Internal Revenue Service, Room 6129, 1111 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20224.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or copies of the regulations should be directed to Kerry Dennis at Internal Revenue Service, Room 6129, 1111 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington DC 20224, or through the internet, at Kerry.Dennis@irs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Election Out of GST Deemed Allocations.
OMB Number: 1545-1892.
Regulation Project Number: REG-153841-02 (TD 9208).
Abstract: This information is required by the IRS for taxpayers who elect to have the automatic allocation rules not apply to the current transfer and/or to future transfers to the trust or to terminate such election. This information is also required by the IRS for taxpayers who elect to treat trusts described in section 2632(c)(3)(B)(i) through (vi) as GST trusts or to terminate such election. This information will be used to identify the trusts to which the election or termination of election will apply.
Current Actions: There have been no changes to the regulation. However, in 2010, the regulation was repealed for one year and the estimated number of responses was decreased to 10 (from 25,000), which changed the burden hours from 12,500 to 5 hours. Since then, the one year repeal has expired and the regulation as well as the GST tax is in effect. Therefore, the estimated number of responses has been changed back to 25,000, with a burden of 12,500 (a change of 12,495, from 5 to 12,500).
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
[top] Estimated Number of Respondents: 25,000
Estimated Time per Respondent: 30 minutes.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 12,500.
The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of information covered by this notice:
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of information displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as their contents may become material in the administration of any internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
Approved: July 3, 2013.
