SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Timely Mailing Treated As Timely Filing.
OMB Number: 1545-1899.
Regulation Project Number: T.D. 9543 and Revenue Procedure 97-19.
Abstract: This information collection contains regulations that
provide guidance as to the only ways to establish prima facie evidence
of delivery of documents that have a filing deadline prescribed by the
internal revenue laws, absent direct proof of actual delivery. The
regulations are necessary to provide greater certainty on this issue
and to provide specific guidance. The regulations affect taxpayers who
mail Federal tax documents to the Internal Revenue Service or the
United States Tax Court. Revenue Procedure 97-19 provides the criteria
that will be used by the IRS to determine whether a private delivery
service qualifies as a designated Private Delivery Service under
section 7502 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Current Actions: There is no change to the paperwork burden
previously approved by OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit organizations, not-for-profit institutions, farms, federal
government, and state, local, or tribal government.
The estimated burden related to Revenue Procedure 97-19:
Estimated Number of Responses: 14.
Estimated Time per Response: 60 hours, 54 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 853.
The estimated related to T.D. 9543:
Estimated Number of Responses: 10,847,647.
Estimated Time per Response: 6 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,084,765.
Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 10,847,661.
Total Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,085,618 hours.
The following paragraph applies to all the collections of
information covered by this notice.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of
information displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records
relating to a collection of information must be retained if their
contents may become material in the administration of any internal
revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information are
confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice
will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited
on: (a) whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
Approved: September 1, 2022.
