SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Information Reporting Requirements under Code sec. 6039.
    OMB Number: 1545-2129.
    Document Number: Forms 3921 and 3922.
    Abstract: Form 3921 is a copy of the information return filed with 
the Internal Revenue Service by the corporation which transferred 
shares of stock to a recipient. Form 3922 is used by the corporation to 
record a transfer of the legal title of a share of stock acquired by 
the employee where the stock was acquired pursuant to the exercise of 
an option described in Internal Revenue Code section 423(c). Treasury 
Decision 9470 contains the final regulations relating to the return and 
information statement requirements under Internal Revenue Code section 
6039. These regulations reflect changes to section 6039 made by section 
403 of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006.
    Current Actions: There are no changes to the burden previously 
approved by OMB. This request is to extend the current approval for 
another 3 years.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business and other for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 51,000.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 29 min.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 25,505.
    The following paragraph applies to all 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 if 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.
    Desired Focus of Comments: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is 
particularly interested in comments that:
    <bullet> Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    <bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used.
    <bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    <bullet> Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., by permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the ICR for OMB approval of the extension of the 
information collection; they will also become a matter of public 
record.

    Approved: February 27, 2024.
Ronald J. Durbala,
IRS Tax Analyst.
