DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Internal Revenue Service

Proposed Collection; Comment

Request for Form 990–T

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS),

Treasury.

ACTION: Notice and request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The Department of the

Treasury, as part of its continuing effort

to reduce paperwork and respondent

burden, invites the general public and

other Federal agencies to take this

opportunity to comment on proposed

and/or continuing information

collections, as required by the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

Public Law 104–13 (44 U.S.C.

3506(c)(2)(A)). Currently, the IRS is

soliciting comments concerning Form

990–T, Exempt Organization Business

Income Tax Return.

DATES: Written comments should be

received on or before August 15, 2000

to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments

to Garrick R. Shear, Internal Revenue

Service, room 5244, 1111 Constitution

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20224.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Requests for additional information or

copies of the form and instructions

should be directed to Carol Savage,

(202) 622–3945, Internal Revenue

Service, room 5242, 1111 Constitution

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20224.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Exempt Organization Business

Income Tax Return.

OMB Number: 1545–0687.

Form Number: 990–T.

Abstract: Form 990–T is used to

report and compute the unrelated

business income tax imposed on exempt

organizations by Internal Revenue Code

section 511 and the proxy tax imposed

by Code section 6033(e). The form

provides the IRS with the information

necessary to determine that the tax has

been properly computed.

Current Actions: The following

changes are being considered:

A. Because of section 501 of the Tax

Relief Extension Act of 1999 (Public

Law 106–170), beginning in tax year

2000 the aggregate amounts of credits

allowed under Subtitle A, Chapter 1,

Subchapter A, Part IV, Subpart A of the

Internal Revenue Code, will offset both

a corporation’s regular tax liability and

its minimum tax. Because of this law

change, Line 42 (alternative minimum

tax) is relocated to Line 38. The other

lines are being renumbered to reflect

this change.

B. Schedule F of Form 990–T was

used to compute the amount of specific

payments (interest, annuity, royalty, or

rent) that met the binding contract

exception of Public Law 105–34, section

1041(b)(2) and are included on line 8.

The binding contract exception, in effect

on June 8, 1997, expires as of August 4,

2000. Therefore, Schedule F is being

deleted as it is no longer needed.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Affected Public: Not-for-profit

institutions.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

37,103.

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 133

hours, 57 minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 4,969,947.

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: June 8, 2000.

UTAH RECLAMATION MITIGATION

AND CONSERVATION COMMISSION

Notice of Availability of the Finding of

No Significant Impact on the Proposed

Action Modifications for the Diamond

Fork System, Central Utah Project

AGENCY: The Utah Reclamation

Mitigation and Conservation

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the

Finding of No Significant Impact

(FONSI).

SUMMARY: On June 15, 2000, Michael C.

Weland, Executive Director of the Utah

Reclamation Mitigation and

Conservation Commission (Mitigation

Commission) signed the Finding of No

Significant Impact (FONSI), which

documents selection of proposed action

modifications presented in the Diamond

Fork System Proposed Action

Modifications Final Environmental

Assessment (Final EA). The Final EA is

tiered to the 1999 Final Supplement to

the Final Environmental Impact

Statement for the Diamond Fork System

(1999 FS–FEIS; FEIS 99–25) filed with

the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency on July 1, 1999. The Mitigation

Commission, Central Utah Water

Conservancy District and Department of

the Interior were joint lead agencies in

preparing the Final EA. The proposed

action modifications are described and

evaluated in the Final EA upon which

the FONSI is based. The proposed

action modifications are based on a

value-engineering process initiated and

completed on the 1999 FS–FEIS

Proposed Action. Proposed action

modifications will reduce

environmental impacts and project costs

and will improve overall environmental

benefits. The proposed action

modifications meet the Mitigation

Commission’s and Department of the

Interior’s needs to mitigate for the

Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah

Project and other federal reclamation

projects, and to transport, on average,

37832 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 117 / Friday, June 16, 2000 / Notices

147,600 acre-feet of water annually from

the Colorado River drainage to the Utah

Lake drainage.

The Department of the Interior,

Central Utah Project Completion Act

Program Director issued a separate

FONSI for the Diamond Fork System

Proposed Action Modifications. The

Program Director’s separate decision is

necessitated by the Department of the

Interior’s responsibility and authority

over project aspects beyond the

Mitigation Commission’s scope to

mitigate for reclamation projects.

The proposed action modifications

will accomplish these measures by

constructing and operating a tunnel and

pipeline (existing) system, and other

existing facilities that convey Central

Utah Project (CUP) and Strawberry

Valley Project (SVP) transmountain

diversions. These facilities will remove

from natural stream courses

environmentally damaging high flows

released since the early part of the 20th

century. Additionally, minimum

instream flows will be provided.

Removal of high flows and provision of

minimum flows allows for the

restoration of a more natural ecosystem,

improvement of fish and wildlife habitat

and populations, and increases in

recreational uses.
