to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESS: Direct all written comments to Garrick R. Shear, Internal 
Revenue Service, T:FP, room 5571, 1111 Constitution Avenue NW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Certain Manufacturers and Retailers Excise Taxes.
    OMB Number: 1545-1076.
    Form Number: 8807.
    Abstract: Form 8807 is used to compute the excise tax on fishing 
equipment, bows and arrows, trucks and trailer chassis and bodies and 
tractors, and the luxury tax on passenger vehicles.
    Current Actions: The form has been revised to help taxpayers 
correctly compute the tax. The trucks and trailer chassis and bodies 
and tractors tax is imposed at retail and requires line entries not 
applicable to the three manufacturers taxes. Therefore, we have 
separated the retailers tax from the manufacturers' taxes. Line 
instructions for Parts I and II have been added that further assist 
taxpayers.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved form.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 46,746.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 3 hrs., 11 min.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 148,618
    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. Written comments should 
address the accuracy of the burden estimates and ways to minimize 
burden including the use of 3 tomated collection techniques or the use 
of other forms of information technology, as well as other relevant 
aspects of the information collection request.

    Approved: January 31, 1996.

IRS Reports Clearance Officer.
