SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS is

making certain changes to Treasury/IRS

24.046—Business Master File (BMF),

Taxpayer Services. The alterations

reflect changes that are necessary to the

system to implement the Federal

Agency Taxpayer Identification Number

Matching Program, change the system

name and title of the system owner to

reflect the new organizational structure

of the IRS, and to list new locations in

which system records are kept.

To improve administration of the

backup withholding provision of § 3406

of the Internal Revenue Code, IRS may

inform Federal agencies monthly if the

Employer Identification Numbers (EINs)

of sole proprietors that IRS has on

record match the records of the

agencies. This should reduce the

number of times agencies will need to

impose backup withholding on

payments, and increase compliance. IRS

has added a new routine use and

expanded the categories of individuals

covered by the system to implement this

change.
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 164 / Monday, August 25, 1997 / Notices 45013

The categories of individuals covered

by the system have been expanded to

include sole proprietors who file

business returns.

The categories of records in the

system have been expanded to include

ElNs/name control files which contain

EINs and the associated IRS name

controls.

New locations where the system

records are kept have been added to

include the three locations where the

TeleFile records (records about returns

filed by telephone) are maintained.

These include: the Cincinnati Service

Center, 201 West River Center Blvd.,

Covington, KY 41019; the Memphis

Service Center, 3131 Democrat Road,

Memphis, TN 38118; and, the Ogden

Service Center, 1160 West 1200 South

Street, Ogden, UT 84201.

A ‘‘Purpose(s)’’ data element is also

being added to the system of records.

The routine use is being altered to

read: Disclosure of returns and return

information may be made as provided

by 26 U.S.C. 6103, and for meeting the

requirements of 26 U.S.C. 3406. 26

U.S.C. 3406 provides, in part, that the

Secretary of the Treasury notify a payor

that the TIN (Taxpayer Identification

Number) furnished by the payee is

incorrect.

The alterations to the existing system

of records are published below. The

system notice for Treasury/IRS 24.046

was published in its entirety most

recently in the Federal Register Vol. 60,
