SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Amended Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return.
    OMB Number: 1545-1759.
    Form Number: 720-X.
    Abstract: Form 720X is used to make adjustments to liability 
reported on forms 720 you have filed for previous quarters. It can be 
filed by itself or it can be attached to any subsequent Form 720. Code 
section 6416(d) allows taxpayers to take a credit on a subsequent 
return rather than filing a refund claim. The creation of Form 720X is 
to provide a uniform standard for trust fund accounting.
    Current Actions: There are no changes being made to Form 720-X at 
this time.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 22,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: 6 hrs., 56 mins.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 152,460.
    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 
start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of 
services to provide information.

    Approved: December 10, 2020.

Tax Analyst.
