SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Installment Sale Income.
    OMB Number: 1545-0228.
    Project Number: Form 6252.
    Abstract: Internal Revenue Code section 453 provides that if real 
or personal property is disposed of at a gain and at least one payment 
is to be received in a tax year after the year of sale, the income is 
to be reported in installments, as payment is received. Form 6252 
provides for the computation of income to be reported in the year of 
sale and in years after the year of sale. It also provides for the 
computation of installment sales between certain related parties 
required by Code section 453(e).
    Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden 
previously approved by OMB. This form is being submitted for renewal 
purposes only.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations, 
individuals or households, and farms.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 521,898.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 3 hrs., 4 min.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,597,008.
    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.
