    Abstract: Generally, under section 6511(a), a taxpayer must file a 
claim for credit or refund of tax within three years after the date of 
filing a tax return or within two years after the date of payment of 
the tax, whichever period expires later. Under section 6511(h), the 
statute of limitations on claims for credit or refund is suspended for 
any period of an individual taxpayer's life during which the taxpayer 
is unable to manage his or her financial affairs because of a medically 
determinable mental or physical impairment, if the impairment can be 
expected to result in death, or has lasted (or can be expected to last) 
for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.
    Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden 
previously approved by OMB. The revenue procedure is being submitted 
for renewal purposes only.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 48,200.
    Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 24,100.
    The following paragraph applies to all 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 if 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
