Project Number: PC:V 96–016–G.

Type of Review: Revision.

Title: 1. Tax Forms and Publications

1996 1040 Forms and Condensed

Instructions Focus Group Interviews;

and 2. Tax Filing Behavior Focus Group

Interviews.

Description: 1. The Internal Revenue

Service’s Tax Forms and Publications

Division has developed a new

experimental version of the line-by-line

instructions for Form 1040, U.S.

Individual Income Tax Return. The draft

instructions are about 25% shorter than

the current instructions, but contain all

the information needed by most

taxpayers whose tax situation remains

fairly stable from year to year. IRS will

use this series of focus groups to obtain

reactions, comments and suggestions to

these new instructions from Form 1040

filers who prepare their own returns.

2. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

recently found that there is a significant

increase in the usage of return

preparation software within the

professional accounting community.

The IRS is interested in exploring if

similar changes are occurring in

individual taxpayer filing behavior and

patterns. IRS will conduct this series of

focus groups to obtain feedback from

these taxpayers on (a) current filing

practices, (b) changes to filing practices

over the past few years, and (c) future

filing practices. Information gathered in

these focus groups will help IRS adapt

their products and services to meet

taxpayers changing needs.

[Notice No. 822]

Commerce in Explosives; List of

Explosive Materials

Pursuant to the provisions of section

841(d) of Title 18, United States Code,

and 27 CFR 55.23, the Director, Bureau

of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, must

publish and revise at least annually in

the Federal Register a list of explosives

determined to be within the coverage of

18 U.S.C. Chapter 40, Importation,

Manufacture, Distribution and Storage

of Explosive Materials. This chapter

covers not only explosives, but also

blasting agents and detonators, all of

which are defined as explosive

materials in section 841(c) of Title 18,

United States Code. Accordingly, the

following is the 1996 List of Explosive

Materials subject to regulation under 18

U.S.C. Chapter 40, which includes both

the list of explosives (including

detonators) required to be published in

the Federal Register and blasting agents.

The list is intended to also include any

and all mixtures containing any of the

materials in the list. Materials

constituting blasting agents are marked

by an asterisk. While the list is

comprehensive, it is not all inclusive.

The fact that an explosive material may

not be on the list does not mean that it

is not within the coverage of the law if

it otherwise meets the statutory

definitions in section 841 of Title 18,

United States Code. Explosive materials

are listed alphabetically by their

common names followed by chemical

names and synonyms in brackets. This

revised list supersedes the List of

Explosive Materials dated April 15,

1995, ( FR ) and will be effective

as of the date of publication in the

Federal Register.
