    Title: Child Tax Credit Focus Groups.
    Description: The Tax Forms and Publications Division must design 
forms and other materials that accurately reflect the law as passed by 
Congress (Child Tax Credit enacted by Congress as part of the Taxpayer 
Relief Act of 1997). Faced with the challenge of keeping the reporting 
requirements imposed by the law upon taxpayers as simple as possible, 
the division wishes to gain taxpayer reaction to the materials it is 
developing. The division believes focus groups will provide valuable 
information from taxpayers that can be used as part of the development 
process.
    The focus groups will be held in Washington, DC (July 13); Boston, 
Massachusetts (July 15); Los Angeles, California (July 16); Chicago, 
Illinois (July 20); and Richmond, Virginia (July 21).
    Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
    Estimated Burden Hours Per Respondent: 3 hours, 30 minutes.
