SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority 

for the Tax Counseling for the Elderly 

(TCE) Program is contained in Section 

163 of the Revenue Act of 1978, Public 

Law 95–600, (92 Stat. 12810), November 

6, 1978. Regulations were published in 

the Federal Register at 44 FR 72113 on 

December 13, 1979. Section 163 gives 

the IRS authority to enter into 

cooperative agreements with private or 

public non-profit agencies or 

organizations to establish a network of 

trained volunteers to provide free tax 

information and return preparation 

assistance to elderly individuals. 

Elderly individuals are defined as 

individuals age 60 and over at the close 

of their taxable year. 

Cooperative agreements will be 

entered into based upon competition 

among eligible agencies and 

organizations. Because applications are 

being solicited before the FY 2010 

budget has been approved, cooperative 

agreements will be entered into subject 

to appropriation of funds. Once funded, 

sponsoring agencies and organizations 

will receive a grant from the IRS for 

administrative expenses and to 

reimburse volunteers for expenses 

incurred in training and in providing 

tax return assistance. The Tax 

Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) 

Program is referenced in the Catalog of 

Federal Domestic Assistance in Section 

21.006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Survey of Veterans, 

Active Duty Service Members, Activated 

National Guard and Reserve Members, 

Family Members and Survivors (NSV). 

OMB Control Number: 2900–New 

(NSV). 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Abstract: The NSV will be conducted 

to obtain needed information that is not 

available in VA administrative files. The 

survey will be used to help VA improve 

services for beneficiaries and their 

families. For the first time, the NSV will 

include active duty service members; 

activated National Guard and Reserves; 

and family members and survivors in 

addition to veterans. The scope of the 

survey will be expanded to address the 

requirements of Public Law 108–454, 

section 805, to assess awareness of 

veterans’ benefits and services. The NSV 

provides VA, Congress, stakeholders, 

and the public more accurate 

descriptions and assessments of the 

characteristics of the veteran population 

to evaluate existing programs and 

policies, to establish baseline measures 

before planning and implementing new 

programs and policies, and to monitor 

progress of programs and policies and 

their impacts on the population. The 

NSV will provide information to 

support VA policy, planning, and 

quality improvement decisions.
