[[Page 50764]]


    Title: Public Disclosure of Material Relating to Tax-Exempt 
Organizations.
    OMB Number: 1545-1560.
    Regulation Project Numbers: REG-246250-96 (T.D. 8816).
    Abstract: Under section 6104(e) of the Internal Revenue Code, 
certain tax-exempt organizations are required to make their annual 
information returns and applications to tax exemption available for 
public inspection. In addition, certain tax-exempt organizations are 
required to comply with requests made in writing or in person from 
individuals who seek a copy of those documents or, in the alternative, 
to make their documents widely available. This regulation provides 
guidance concerning these disclosure requirements.
    Current Actions: There is no change to this existing Regulation.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,100,000.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 551,000.

    Title: Deferred Compensation Plans of State and Local Governments 
and Tax-Exempt Organizations.
    OMB Number: 1545-1695.
    Revenue Ruling Number: Revenue Ruling 2000-33.
    Abstract: Revenue Ruling 2000-33 specifies the conditions the plan 
sponsor should meet to automatically defer a certain percentage of its 
employees' compensation into their accounts in an eligible deferred 
compensation plan.
    Current Actions: There are no changes being made to this revenue 
ruling at this time.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or 
tribal governments.

    Title: Application of Separate Limitations to Dividends From Non-

    OMB Number: 1545-2014.
    Form Number: TD 9452.
    Abstract: The AJCA amended the foreign tax credit treatment of 
dividends from non-controlled section 902 corporations effective for 
post-2002 tax years, and the GOZA permitted taxpayers to elect to defer 
the effective date of these amendments until post-2004 tax years. These 
regulations require a taxpayer making the GOZA election to file a 
statement to such effect with its next tax return, and they require 
certain shareholders wishing to make tax elections on behalf of their 
controlled foreign corporations or non-controlled section 902 
corporations to execute a joint consent (that is retained by one 
shareholder) and attach a statement to their tax returns. The 
respondents are primarily domestic corporations owning stock in foreign 
corporations.
    Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden 
previously approved by OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households, Businesses and other 
for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 50.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 30 minutes.

and third party administrators to report and pay excise taxes due for 
failures under sections 4980B, 4980D, 4980E, and 4980G.
    Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden 
previously approved by OMB. This form is being submitted for renewal 
purposes.
    Type of Review: This is an extension of a previously approved 
collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit organizations, and 
Not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,348.

    The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of

the Internal Revenue Code.

    Abstract: IRC section 6033 requires all private foundations, 
including section 4947(a)(1) trusts treated as private foundations, to 
file an annual information return. Section 53.4940-1(a) of the Income 
Tax Regulations requires that the tax on net investment income be

for this purpose. Section 6011 requires a report of taxes under Chapter 
42 of the Code for prohibited acts by private foundation and certain

persons to report prohibited activities in detail and pay the tax on 
them.

there is an increase in the paperwork burden previously approved by 
OMB.

collection.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 55,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 11,054,637.

Sales Corporation Return, Schedule K (Form 1120-IC-DISC), Shareholder's 
Statement of IC-DISC Distributions, and Schedule P (Form 1120-IC-DISC), 
Intercompany Transfer Price or Commission.

domestic international sales corporation (IC-DISC) file Form 1120-IC-
