of bond. Under section 6324A(c) and the regulations thereunder (OMB 
1545-0757), to make this election the executor must submit a lien 
agreement to the IRS. Form 13925 is a form lien agreement that 
executors may use for this purpose.

this time.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 500.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 1 hr.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 500.

their contents may become material in the administration of any

    Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice 
will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All

accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of
