to such person's return of tax imposed by subtitle A for such taxable
year the information described in subsection (c) with respect to each
such asset if the aggregate value of all such assets exceeds $50,000
(or such higher dollar amount as the Secretary may prescribe).

section, the term `specified foreign financial asset' means--

notification.--If any failure described in paragraph (1)
continues for more than 90 days after the day on which the

jurisdiction would impose a civil or criminal penalty on the taxpayer
(or any other person) for disclosing the required information is not
reasonable cause.

or other guidance as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the
purposes of this section, including regulations or other guidance which

loss that would have been allocable to the
qualified capital interest under subparagraph
(A) if the partnership sold all of its assets

related to any such other partner or the
partnership).

Subtitle C--Tax Expenditure Study
SEC. 621. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Currently, the aggregate cost of Federal tax
expenditures rivals, or even exceeds, the amount of total
Federal discretionary spending.
(2) Given the escalating public debt, a critical
examination of this use of taxpayer dollars is essential.
(3) Additionally, tax expenditures can complicate the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for taxpayers and complicate tax
administration for the Internal Revenue Service.
(4) To facilitate a better understanding of tax
expenditures in the future, it is constructive for legislation
extending these provisions to include a study of such
provisions.
SEC. 622. STUDY OF EXTENDED TAX EXPENDITURES.
(a) In General.--Not later than November 30, 2010, the Chief of
Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, in consultation with the

section 3(3) of the Congressional Budget Impoundment Control Act of
1974 (2 U.S.C. 622(3)) extended by this Act.
(b) Rolling Submission of Reports.--The Chief of Staff of the Joint
Committee on Taxation shall initially submit the reports for each such
tax expenditure enacted in subtitle B of title I (relating to business
tax relief) and title IV (relating to energy provisions) in order of
the tax expenditure incurring the least aggregate cost to the greatest
aggregate cost (determined by reference to the cost estimate of this
Act by the Joint Committee on Taxation). Thereafter, such reports may
be submitted in such order as the Chief of Staff determines
appropriate.
(c) Contents of Report.--Such reports shall contain the following:
(1) An explanation of the tax expenditure and any relevant
economic, social, or other context under which it was first
enacted.
(2) A description of the intended purpose of the tax
expenditure.

expenditure in achieving such purpose, and evidence supporting
such analysis.
(4) An analysis of the extent to which further extending
the tax expenditure, or making it permanent, would contribute
to achieving such purpose.
(5) A description of the direct and indirect beneficiaries
of the tax expenditure, including identifying any unintended
beneficiaries.
(6) An analysis of whether the tax expenditure is the most
cost-effective method for achieving the purpose for which it
was intended, and a description of any more cost-effective
methods through which such purpose could be accomplished.
(7) A description of any unintended effects of the tax
expenditure that are useful in understanding the tax
expenditure's overall value.
(8) An analysis of how the tax expenditure could be
modified to better achieve its original purpose.
(9) A brief description of any interactions (actual or
potential) with other tax expenditures or direct spending
programs in the same or related budget function worthy of
further study.
(10) A description of any unavailable information the staff
of the Joint Committee on Taxation may need to complete a more
thorough examination and analysis of the tax expenditure, and
what must be done to make such information available.
(d) Minimum Analysis by Deadline.--In the event the Chief of Staff
of the Joint Committee on Taxation concludes it will not be feasible to
complete all reports by the date specified in subsection (a), at a
minimum, the reports for each tax expenditure enacted in subtitle B of
title I (relating to business tax relief) and title IV (relating to
energy provisions) shall be completed by such date.
