is necessary for the proper performance

of the mission of FinCEN, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of

FinCEN’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (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.

In addition, the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995 requires agencies to

estimate the total annual cost burden to

respondents or recordkeepers resulting

from the collection of information.

Thus, FinCEN also specifically requests

comments to assist with this estimate. In

this connection, FinCEN requests

commenters to identify any additional

costs associated with the completion of

the form. These comments on costs

should be divided into two parts: (1)

Any additional costs associated with

reporting; and (2) any additional costs

associated with recordkeeping.

Responses to the questions posed by

this notice will be summarized and

included in the request for Office of

Management and Budget approval. All

comments will become a matter of

public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Enhanced Oil Recovery Credit.

OMB Number: 1545–1282.

Form Number: 8830.

Abstract: Internal Revenue Code

section 43 allows taxpayers to elect a tax

credit of 15% of the qualified oil

recovery costs paid or incurred during

the year. The credit is phased out as the

reference price of crude oil for the prior

year exceeds $28 per barrel. Form 8830

is used by taxpayers to compute the

credit.

Current Actions: The order of Part II,

Tax Liability Limit, was revised for this

form. Section 501 of Public Law 106–

170 extended the provision that allows

individuals to offset the regular tax

liability in full for personal credits.

Previously filers were allowed to claim

credits to the extent that the regular tax

liability exceeded the tentative

minimum tax. For tax years beginning

in 2000 and 2001, personal

nonrefundable credits may offset both

the regular tax and the minimum tax.

Also, the computation was changed in

Part II to reflect and to conform to

changes that were made to the tax

computation on Form 1040. A new line

7 was added to show the sum of the

regular tax before credits and the

alternative minimum tax.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations, and individuals or

households.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

3,623.

Estimated Time Per Response: 9

hours, 2 minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 32,752.

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.
