SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Certain Fuel Products Report.
    OMB Number: 1545-XXXX.
    Form Number: Form 720-CF.
    Abstract: Internal Revenue Code Sec.  4101 requires information 
reporting by (1) any person registered under IRC Sec.  4101 rules with 
respect to fuel excise taxes, and (2) any other persons that IRS deems 
necessary to administer the applicable fuel taxes. The American Jobs 
Creation Act of 2004 created Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit 
(VEETC), a policy to subsidize the production of ethanol in the United 
States. Currently producers, resellers, blenders and importers have no 
reporting requirements other than to apply for the 637 registration and 
claim the Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Fuels Credits ranging from .50 
to 1.00 credit per each gallon sold or used. This new form will provide 
the Internal Revenue Service the information it needs to properly track 
the movement of fuel between these entities and the terminal operators 
and carrier operators that are currently filing forms 720-TO/CS.
    Current Actions: This form is being submitted for new OMB approval.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 39,240.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 13 hours 13 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 518,361.
    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: February 15, 2011.

IRS Reports Clearance Officer.
