SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: IRS Applicant Contact Card.
    OMB Number: 1545-2240.
    Form Number: 14145.
    Abstract: The Internal Revenue Service contact card is used to 
collect contact information from individuals who may be interested in 
working for the IRS now, or at any time in the future (potential 
applicants) Form 14145 requests information to enter into a database to 
allow the IRS to send information about jobs to potential applicants. 
Cards are then destroyed after input into the database. The potential 
applicant is only contacted about jobs which correspond to the job 
categories selected by the IRS Recruiter on Form 14145.
    Current Actions: There is no change in the form previously approved 
by OMB. However, the total burden previously approved, needs to be 
lowered by 64,721 hours, to correct an error in the previous 
submission. The correct burden estimates should be; 16,045 estimated 
responses and a total estimated annual burden of 1,364 hours.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 16,045.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 5 min.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,364.
    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.
    Desired Focus of Comments: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is 
particularly interested in comments that:
    <bullet> Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary

[[Page 65805]]

for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    <bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
    <bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    <bullet> Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., by permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the ICR for OMB approval of the extension of the 
information collection; they will also become a matter of public 
record.

    Approved: December 13, 2018.
R. Joseph Durbala,
IRS Tax Analyst.
