#                     SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:                          ( print page 13467)    

*Title:*                     Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS).                 

*OMB Number:*                     1545-1467.                 

*Form Number:*                     Forms 9779, 9783, 9787, and 9789.                

*Abstract:*                     These forms are used by business and individual taxpayers to enroll in the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). EFTPS is an electronic remittance processing system the Service uses to accept electronically transmitted federal tax payments. EFTPS (1) establishes and maintains a taxpayer data base which includes entity information from the taxpayers or their banks, (2) initiates the transfer of the tax payment amount from the taxpayer's bank account, (3) validates the entity information and selected elements for each taxpayer, and (4) electronically transmits taxpayer payment data to the IRS.                

*Current Actions:*                     The total burden hours have decreased. The burden hours have changed from 4,470,000 to 4,350,000 with a decrease total of 120,000 hours. The decrease is due to each Spanish form becoming obsolete.                

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

*Affected Public:*                     Individuals, business or other for-profit organizations, and state, local or tribal governments.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     4,350,000.                

*Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:*                     726,450.                

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. Comments will be 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 has 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 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: February 23, 2015.
