appropriate.

Current Actions: There is no change to

this existing regulation.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

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

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.
