    Form Number: 990-N.
    Abstract: Section 1223 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA 
'06), enacted on August 17, 2006, amended Internal Revenue Code (Code) 
section 6033 by adding Code section 6033(i), which requires certain 
tax-exempt organizations to file an annual electronic notice (Form 990-
N) for tax years beginning after December 31, 2006. These organizations 
are not required to file Form 990 (or Form 990-EZ) because their gross 
receipts are normally $25,000 or less.
    Current Actions: This is a new form.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 520,000.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 15 min.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 130,000.
    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: March 7, 2007.
