    Title: IRS Simultaneous Appeals/Competent Authority Program 
Customer Satisfaction Survey.
    Description: The mission of Appeals is to resolve tax disputes in a 
fair and impartial way. The Appeals process is a form of dispute 
resolution. Taxpayers, however, are asking the IRS to consider new ways 
to resolve tax disputes. Many taxpayers are struggling to ``keep 
current'', and to help meet this need, the IRS has developed new 
approaches to settle cases. One of the new approaches being used by the 
IRS is the Simultaneous Appeals/Competent Authority Program.
    In order to determine the effectiveness and identify what customers 
value about this program, timely and accurate information must be 
available. Therefore, the Office of Appeals is proposing to obtain this 
information through the use of this customer satisfaction survey.
    Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 30.
    Estimated Burden Hours Per Respondent: 3 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Other.
    Estimated Total Reporting Burden: 1 hour, 30 minutes.
