# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The IRS is currently seeking comments concerning the following information collection tools, reporting, and record-keeping requirements:

*Title:*                     Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File Form 709 or Form 709-NA and/or Payment of Gift/Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax.                

*OMB Number:*                     1545-1913.                

*Form Number:*                     Form 8892.                

*Abstract:*                     Form 8892 was created to serve a dual purpose. First, the form enables the taxpayers to request an automatic 6-month extension of time to file Form 709 or Form 709-NA when they are not filing an individual income tax extension using Form 4868. Second, to make a payment of gift tax when you're applying for an extension of time to file Form 709 or 709-NA (including payment of any generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax from Form 709 or 709-NA).                

*Current Actions:*                     The title of the form is changing. There are no changes to the response time for completing the form. The IRS is adjusting the burden estimates to increase the number of potential respondents to 300.                

*Type of Review:*                     Revision of a currently approved collection.                

*Affected Public:*                     Individuals or households.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     300.                

*Estimated Time per Respondent:*                     41 minutes.                

*Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:*                     204.                

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.
