SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Disclosure of Returns and 

Return Information to Designee of 

Taxpayer. 

OMB Number: 1545–1816. 

Regulation Project Number: TD 9054, 

as amended by TD 9618. 

Abstract: Under section 6103(a), 

returns and return information are 

confidential unless disclosure is 

otherwise authorized by the Code. 

Section 6103(c), as amended in 1996 by 

section 1207 of the Taxpayer Bill of 

Rights II, Public Law 104–168 (110 Stat. 

1452), authorizes the IRS to disclose 

returns and return information to such 

person or persons as the taxpayer may 

designate in a request for or consent to 

disclosure, or to any other person at the 

taxpayer’s request to the extent 

necessary to comply with a request for 

information or assistance made by the 

taxpayer to such other person. 

Disclosure is permitted subject to such 

requirements and conditions as may be 

prescribed by regulations. With the 

amendment in 1996, Congress 

eliminated the longstanding 

requirement that disclosures to 

designees of the taxpayer must be 

pursuant to the written request or 

consent of the taxpayer. 

Current Actions: There are no changes 

to the regulation that would affect 

burden. However, the agency is 

updating the estimated number of 

responses based on recent collection

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households, business or other not-forprofit institutions, farms, and Federal, 

state, local or tribal governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

9,000. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 12 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 1,800 hours. 

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. 

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

agency, including whether the

Security Act (the ‘‘Act’’), as added by 

section 9901 of the American Rescue

(Mar. 11, 2021) established the 

Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund 

(‘‘CPF’’). The CPF provides $10 billion 

in funding for the U.S. Department of 

the Treasury (‘‘Treasury’’) to make 

payments according to a statutory 

formula to States (defined to include 

each of the 50 states, the District of 

Columbia, and Puerto Rico), seven 

territories and freely associated states 

(the United States Virgin Islands, Guam,

The current information collection

an IT portal user guide with specific 

instructions on entering data into the 

reporting web-based portal. 

The initial Project and Expenditure 

Report must be submitted by States, 

territories, and freely associated states 

on July 31, 2022,2 with subsequent 

reports being due quarterly for the 

duration of the period of performance. 

The Project and Expenditure Report

by recipients publicly available. 

The first interim Performance Report 

must be submitted by States, territories, 

and freely associated states on January 

31, 2023, with subsequent reports being 

due annually on July 31 for the duration 

of the period of performance. The 

Performance Report will contain 

detailed performance data 

corresponding to the ‘‘Programs’’ 

specified previously in a recipient’s 

Grant Plan. This will include 

information on efforts to improve equity 

and engage communities. The 

Performance Report is largely freely 

written text, and while there are certain 

data and topics that recipients must 

cover in the Performance Report, it is 

mostly free-form written content. 

Recipients are required to publish the 

Performance Report on their website 

and provide the reports to Treasury. 

Treasury will make the Performance 

Reports and associated data submitted 

by recipients publicly available.
