as modified by Notice 2012-54).

    Abstract: Notice 2009-54 sets forth interim guidance, pending the 
issuance of regulations, relating to the qualified plug-in electric 
drive motor vehicle credit under Sec.  30D of the Internal Revenue 
Code, as in effect for vehicles acquired after December 31,2009. Notice 
2012-54 modifies Notice 2009-89, by providing a new address to which a 
vehicle manufacturer (or, in the case of a foreign vehicle 
manufacturer, its domestic distributor) must send vehicle 
certifications and quarterly reports under Notice 2009-89.
    Form 8936, is used for tax years beginning after 2008, to figure 
the credit for qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicles placed 
in service during your tax year. The credit attributable to depreciable 
property (vehicles used for business or investment purposes) is treated 
as a general business credit. Any credit not attributable to 
depreciable property is treated as a personal credit.
    Current Actions: There are changes being made to the burden 
associated with the collection.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individual, Businesses, and other for-profit 
organizations.

    The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of 
information covered by this notice.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of 
information displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records 
relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as 
their contents may become material in the administration of any 
internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information 
are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
    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. Comments are invited 
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) 
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
