SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS is currently seeking comments 
concerning the following information collection tools, reporting, and 
record-keeping requirements:
    Title: TD 9584, TD 9734, Form 1042, Schedule Q (Form 1042), Form 
1042-S, and Form 1042-T.
    OMB Number: 1545-0096.
    Form Number: 1042, Schedule Q (Form 1042), 1042-S, and 1042-T.

the U.S. office of certain financial institutions and paid to 
nonresident alien individuals. These regulations affect persons making 
payments of interest with respect to such a deposit. TD 9734 contains 
regulations pertain to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 871(m) 
regarding dividend equivalent payments that are treated as U.S. source 
income. These regulations provide guidance regarding when payments made 
pursuant to certain financial instruments will be treated as U.S. 
source income and subject to U.S. withholding tax.
    Form 1042 is used by withholding agents to report tax withheld at 
source on certain income paid to nonresident alien individuals, foreign 
partnerships, and foreign corporations to the IRS. Schedule Q (Form 
1042) is used withholding agents to report the tax liability of a 
qualified derivatives dealer (QDD). Form 1042-S is used by withholding 
agents to report income and tax withheld to payees. A copy of each 
1042-S is filed electronically or with Form 1042 for information 
reporting purposes. The IRS uses this information to verify that the 
correct amount of tax has been withheld and paid to the United States. 
Form 1042-T is used by withholding agents to transmit paper Forms 1042-
S to the IRS.
    Current Actions: There is are changes to the existing collection: 
(1) Schedule Q (Form 1042) was created to replace the previous 
requirement to attach a statement to the Form 1042 to provide 
information regarding a QDD's tax liability; (2) the burden for TD 
9584, previously reported under OMB control number 1545-1725, is being 
incorporated in this collection for clarity and continuity; (3) the 
burden for Form 1042 was recalculated for better estimates; and (4) the 
number of respondents and responses for all forms were updated with 
better estimates.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals, business or other for-profit 
organizations, estates,

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 138,150.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 8,560,200.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 15 minutes for TD 9584, 8 hours for 
TD 9734, 29 hours and 28 minutes for Form 1042, 5 hours and 44 minutes 
for Schedule Q (Form 1042), 34 minutes for Form 1042-S, and 12 minutes
