SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Information Return for Real 

Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits 

(REMICs) and Issuers of Collateralized 

Debt Obligations. 

OMB Number: 1545–1099. 

Form Number: 8811. 

Abstract: Current regulations require 

real estate mortgage investment 

conduits (REMICs) to provide Forms 

1099 to true holders of interests in these 

investment vehicles. Because of the 

complex computations required at each 

level and the potential number of 

nominees, the ultimate investor may not 

receive a Form 1099 and other 

information necessary to prepare their 

tax return in a timely fashion. Form 

8811 collects information for publishing 

by the IRS so that brokers can contact 

REMICs to request the financial 

information and timely issue Forms 

1099 to holders. 

Current Actions: There are no changes 

being made to Form 8811 at this time. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

1,000. 

Estimated Time per Response: 4 hr., 

23 min. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 4,380. 

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: March 12, 2009.

information reporting administration 

issues. Membership is balanced to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Established in 1991 in response to an 

administrative recommendation in the 

final Conference Report of the Omnibus 

Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, the 

IRPAC works closely with the IRS to 

provide recommendations on a wide 

range of issues intended to improve the 

information reporting program and 

achieve fairness to taxpayers. Conveying 

the public’s perception of IRS activities 

to the Commissioner, the IRPAC is 

comprised of individuals who bring 

substantial, disparate experience and 

diverse backgrounds to the Committee’s 

activities. 

The IRPAC members are nominated 

by the Commissioner with the 

concurrence of the Secretary of Treasury 

to serve a three-year term. Working 

groups address policies and 

administration issues specific to 

information reporting. Members are not 

paid for their services. However, travel 

expenses for working sessions, public 

meetings and orientation sessions, such 

as airfare, per diem, and transportation 

are reimbursed within prescribed 

federal travel limitations. 

Receipt of applications will be 

acknowledged, and all individuals will 

be notified when selections have been 

made. In accordance with Department of 

Treasury Directive 21–03, a clearance 

process including, fingerprints, annual 

tax checks, a Federal Bureau of 

Investigation criminal check, and a 

practitioner check with the Office of 

Professional Responsibility will be 

conducted.
