DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Internal Revenue Service

Proposed Elimination of the Bulletin

Index-Digest System; Comment

Request

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS),

Treasury.

ACTION: Notice and request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The IRS provides a method

for researching tax laws, regulations,

and other tax matters published in the

Internal Revenue Bulletin called the

‘‘Bulletin Index-Digest System.’’ Due to

budgetary restraints, the IRS proposes to

eliminate the Bulletin Index-Digest

System. The IRS invites the general

public and other Federal agencies to

take this opportunity to comment on the

proposed elimination of the Bulletin

Index-Digest System.

DATES: Written comments should be

received on or before August 3, 1996 to

be assured consideration.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments

to Michael Siegerist, Internal Revenue

Service, T:FP:F:CD, Room 5560, 1111

Constitution Avenue NW., Washington,

DC 20224.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with OMB Circular A–130

and Section 2 of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–

13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(d)), the IRS is

soliciting comments from the public on

the elimination of the Bulletin IndexDigest System.

Bulletin Index-Digest System

The Bulletin Index-Digest System

provides a method for researching

matters published since 1952 in the

Internal Revenue Bulletin (which is the

authoritative instrument of the

Commissioner for announcing official

rulings and procedures of the Internal

Revenue Service and for publishing

Public Laws, Treasury Decisions, and

other items of general interest). It is

divided into four Services as follows:

Service No. 1—Income Tax, Publication

641

Service No. 2—Estate and Gift Taxes,

Publication 642

Service No. 3—Employment Taxes,

Publication 643

Service No. 4—Excise Taxes,

Publication 644

Each Service consists of a basic

volume and the latest cumulative

supplement. The cumulative

supplements are issued quarterly for the

Income Tax Service, and semi-annually

for the other three Services.

The major portion of the Bulletin

Index-Digest System consists of digests

(brief summaries) of revenue rulings and

revenue procedures alphabetically

arranged under topical headings and

subheadings. Also included are digests

of Supreme Court decisions, adverse

Tax Court decisions on cases involving

tax issues in which the Commissioner

has announced acquiescence or

nonacquiescence, Executive Orders,

Treasury Department Orders, Delegation

Orders, and other miscellaneous items

published in the Bulletin.

The digests are intended only as aids

to the reader in identifying the subject

matter covered. They may not be relied

upon as authoritative interpretations.

The IRS proposes to eliminate the

Bulletin Index-Digest System because of

the excessive costs incurred to produce

this product.

Approved: June 27, 1996.

Garrick R. Shear,

Acting National Director, Tax Forms and

Publications Division.
