FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Dave Thurber, Chief, Abusive 

Transactions and Technical Issues 

(ATTI) Group, Office of Examination, 

Small Business/Self-Employed Division, 

Internal Revenue Service, (707) 646– 

7291 (Dave.Thurber@irs.gov). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS is 

required to administer, in consultation 

with the Department of Health and 

Human Services, the Qualifying 

Therapeutic Discovery Program 

pursuant to The Patient Protection and 

Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111–148), 

as amended by the Health Care and 

Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 

(Pub. L. 111–152) (Affordable Care Act). 

The qualifying therapeutic discovery 

tax credit targets projects that show 

significant potential to produce new 

therapies, address unmet medical needs, 

reduce the long-term growth of health 

care costs, and advance the goal of 

curing cancer within the next 30 years. 

Allocation of credits will also take into 

consideration which projects show the 

greatest potential to create and sustain 

high-quality, high-paying jobs in the 

United States and to advance our 

competitiveness in the fields of life, 

biological, and medical sciences. 

This proposed new system will 

contain information regarding 

qualifying therapeutic discovery 

projects that are designed to develop a 

product, process, or therapy to diagnose, 

treat, or prevent diseases and afflictions 

by: (1) Conducting pre-clinical 

activities, clinical trials, clinical studies, 

and research protocols; or (2) 

developing technology or products 

designed to diagnose diseases and 

conditions, including molecular and 

companion drugs and diagnostics, or to 

further the delivery or administration of 

therapeutics. 

The Affordable Care Act requires the 

IRS to disclose certain information to 

the public regarding the amount of the 

grant or credit, the identity of the person 

receiving the grant or credit, and a 

description of the project with respect to 

which the grant was made or the credit 

allowed. This proposed new system 

includes a routine use authorizing these 

disclosures to comply with the Act and 

the intent of Congress to publicize 

projects that show significant potential 

to produce new and cost-saving 

therapies, support good jobs, and 

increase U.S. competitiveness. 

As required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), a 

report of a new system of records has 

been provided to the Committee on 

Oversight and Government Reform of 

the House of Representatives, the 

Committee on Homeland Security and 

Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and 

the Office of Management and Budget. 

The system of records entitled 

‘‘Treasury/IRS 42.888—Qualifying 

Therapeutic Discovery Project Records’’ 

is published in its entirety below. 

Dated: March 11, 2011.
