Revenue Service.
OMB Number: 1545-0950.
Form Number: Form 23.
Abstract: Form 23 must be completed by those who desire to be
enrolled to practice before the Internal Revenue Service. The
information on the form will be used by the Director of Practice to
determine the qualifications and eligibility of applicants for
enrollment.
Current Actions: There are no changes to Form 23 that would affect

as it is no longer being used. This change creates a revision and
decrease in overall burden.

Estimated Time per Respondent: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,715 hrs.
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.
Approved: June 5, 2019.
