paper. 

Current Actions: There is no change

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. 

Request for Comments: Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will

information; (c) ways to enhance the
