SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS is 

currently seeking comments concerning 

the following information collection 

tools, reporting, and record-keeping 

requirements: 

Title: Casualties and Thefts. 

OMB Number: 1545–0177. 

Form Number: 4684. 

Abstract: Form 4684 is used by 

taxpayers to compute their gain or loss 

from casualties or thefts, and to 

summarize such gains and losses. The 

data is used to verify that the correct 

gain or loss has been computed. These 

burden estimates are only for taxexempt, trust and estate filers. The 

burden estimates for other filers are 

covered under OMB control numbers 

1545–0074 for individual filers and 

1545–0123 for business filers. 

Current Actions: There is no change to 

the existing collection. However, the 

estimated number of responses was 

updated to eliminate duplication of the 

burden associated with business filers 

captured under OMB control number 

1545–0123. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals, 

households, and business or other forprofit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

1,860. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 6 

hours, 3 minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 11,253. 

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 9, 2024.
