Background 

The Government Performance and 

Results Act (GPRA) of 1993, as amended 

by the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 

(Pub. L. 111–352), requires that Federal 

agencies revise and update their 

strategic plan at the beginning of each 

new presidential term, and in doing so, 

solicit input from interested 

stakeholders. 

The draft DOT Strategic Plan reflects 

the Secretary’s priorities for achieving 

DOT’s mission through four strategic 

goals: 

D Safety: Reduce TransportationRelated Fatalities and Serious Injuries 

Across the Transportation System. 

D Infrastructure: Invest in 

Infrastructure to Ensure Mobility and 

Accessibility and to Stimulate Economic 

Growth, Productivity and 

Competitiveness for American Workers 

and Businesses. 

D Innovation: Lead in the 

Development and Deployment of 

Innovative Practices and Technologies 

that Improve the Safety and 

Performance of the Nation’s 

Transportation System. 

D Accountability: Serve the Nation 

with Reduced Regulatory Burden and 

Greater Efficiency, Effectiveness and 

Accountability. 

These strategic goals are supported by 

objectives that reflect the outcomes DOT 

is trying to achieve and strategies that 

describe how DOT plans to make 

progress toward the objectives. 

The draft DOT Strategic Plan for FY 

2018–2022 may be accessed through the 

DOT Web site at https://

www.transportation.gov/dot-strategicplan. 

DOT will consider all input and 

revise the draft DOT Strategic Plan as 

appropriate. DOT anticipates that the 

final DOT Strategic Plan for FY 2018– 

2022 will be submitted to Congress and 

posted on the DOT Web site in February 

2018.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 25, 2017 / Notices 49481 

Abstract: The Taxpayer Relief Act of 

1997 significantly modified the 

information reporting requirements with 

respect to foreign partnerships. The Act 

made the following three changes (1) 

expanded section 6038B to require U.S. 

persons transferring property to foreign 

partnerships in certain transactions to 

report those transfers; (2) expanded 

section 6038 to require certain U.S. 

Partners of controlled foreign 

partnerships to report information about 

the partnerships; and (3) modified the 

reporting required under section 6046A 

with respect to acquisitions and 

dispositions of foreign partnership 

interests. Form 8838–P is used to extend 

the statute of limitations for U.S. 

persons who transfers appreciated 

property to partnerships with foreign 

partners related to the transferor. The 

form is filed when the transferor makes 

a gain recognition agreement. This 

agreement allows the transferor to defer 

the payment of tax on the transfer. The 

IRS uses Form 8838–P so that it may 

assess tax against the transferor after the 

expiration of the original statute of 

limitations. 

Forms: 8865, Sch P (Form 8865), Sch 

O (Form 8865), Sch K–1 (Form 8865),
