    Abstract: Form 3921 is a copy of the information return filed with

record a transfer of the legal title of a share of stock acquired by 
the employee where the stock was acquired pursuant to the exercise of 
an option described in Internal Revenue Code section 423(c). These 
forms are required to be filed for stock transfers occurring after 
2008. Treasury Decision 9470 contains the final regulations relating to 
the return and information statement requirements under Internal 
Revenue Code section 6039. These regulations reflect changes to section 
6039 made by section 403 of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006. 
These regulations affect corporations that issue statutory stock 
options and provide guidance to assist corporations in complying with 
the return and information statement requirements under section 6039.
    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: 51,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: 29 mins.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 25,205.
    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. 
Comments will be 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 has 
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 or 
other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or
