SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    The IRS is currently seeking comments concerning the following 
information collection tools, reporting, and record-keeping 
requirements:
    Title: Form 8835, Renewable Electricity Production Credit.
    OMB Number: 1545-1362.
    Form Number: Form 8835.
    Abstract: Form 8835 is used to claim the renewable electricity 
production credit. The credit is allowed for the sale of electricity 
produced in the United States or U.S. territories from qualified energy 
resources at a qualified facility. The IRS uses the information 
reported on the form to ensure that the credit is correctly computed.
    Current Actions: There are changes to the existing collection. The 
form was revised to include information about the qualified facility, 
add lines for new credits, and remove lines for expired credits. The 
estimated number of responses was reduced to eliminate duplication of 
burden estimates. The estimated burden for individuals filing Form 8835 
is approved under OMB control number 1545-0074, and the estimated 
burden for businesses filing Form 8835 is approved under OMB control 
number 1545-0123.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; not-
for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 40.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 17 hours, 24 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 697.
    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: September 26, 2023.
