    Abstract: Internal Revenue Code section 432(b)(3) requires an 
actuarial certification of whether a multiemployer plan is in 
endangered status, and whether a multiemployer plan is or will be in 
critical status, for each plan year. This certification must be 
completed by the 90th day of the plan year and must be provided to the 
Secretary of the Treasury and to the plan sponsor. If the certification 
is with respect to a plan year that is within the plan's funding 
improvement period or rehabilitation period arising from a prior 
certification of endangered or critical status, the actuary must also 
certify whether the plan is making scheduled progress in meeting the 
requirements of its funding improvement or rehabilitation plan.
    Actuaries submit Form 15315 to report the actuarial certification 
of a multiemployer plan's status.
    Current Actions: There is no change to the existing collection.

Act. It finalizes changes to the proposed and interim final rules based 
on comments and incorporates sub regulatory guidance issued since 
publication of the proposed and interim final rules.
    Current Actions: Adjustments to the burden estimates result from 
updated estimates on the number of grandfathered group health plans and 
increases in wage and postage rates. These updated data inputs reduce 
the hour burden by 1,550 hours compared with the prior submission and

    5. Title: Qualification and Transfer of Credit under Sections 30D 
and 25E from Taxpayer to Eligible Entity.
    OMB Number: 1545-2311.
    Abstract: Under the procedures prescribed in these revenue 
procedures, a dealer of a new clean vehicle or previously owned clean 
vehicle that wishes to partake in the advanced payment program under 
IRC sections 30D(g) and 25E(f) must register with the IRS through the 
IRS Identity Registration System and through the IRS Clean Vehicle 
Sales Portal. At the time of registration through the IRS Clean Vehicle 
Sales Portal, the dealer must provide certain information to the IRS 
and make certain certifications. After those are complete, the IRS will 
perform a tax compliance check to ensure the dealer is compliant with 
its tax obligations. After a taxpayer makes a transfer election under 
IRC sections 30D(g) or 25E(f) to the dealer, a dealer must upload 
certain information through the IRS Clean Vehicle Sales Portal, and the 
IRS, upon review, and if all conditions are met, will issue a payment 
to the dealer.
    Qualified manufacturers who wish to have certain new clean vehicles 
qualify for the IRC section 30D credit in the subsequent year must 
submit certain information related to applicable critical minerals and 
battery components.
    The IRS created a Clean Vehicles Sale Portal for qualified 
manufacturers, dealers, and sellers to register and provide the 
requisite information. The likely respondents are businesses and other 
for-profit entities.
    Current Actions: There are changes to the existing collection. The 
IRS is revising this collection to add reporting obligations for 
qualified manufacturers to submit to the Department of Energy (DOE). 
This creates a modified collection obligation for qualified 
manufacturers related to applicable critical minerals and battery 
components. This modification provides that qualified manufacturers who 
wish to have certain new clean vehicles qualify for the IRC section 30D 
credit in the subsequent year must submit a report to the DOE that 
includes

supporting documentation in relation to battery components and 
applicable critical minerals, as well as associated constituent 
materials, contained in the battery from which the electric motor of 
the vehicle draws electricity; and submit attestations under penalty of 
perjury.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 1,031,150.
    Estimated Average Time per Respondent: 116 hours, 30 minutes.
