Program is designed to promote compliance by gaming industry employers
and employees with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code relating
to tip income and to reduce disputes under section 3121(q). Under the
GITCA Program, a gaming industry employer and the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) work together to reach a GITCA that establishes minimum
tip rates for participating tipped employees in specified occupational
categories, prescribes a threshold level of participation by the
employer's employees, and reduces compliance burdens for the employer
and enforcement burdens for the IRS. The collections of information
include the agreements, annual reports, recordkeeping requirements, and
model gaming tip agreements, which are detailed within Revenue
Procedure 2007-32, Exhibit 1--Gaming Industry Tip Compliance Agreement.

5. Title: Low-Income Taxpayer Clinics Grant Application Package and
Guidelines.
OMB Number: 1545-1648.
Publication Number: 3319.
Abstract: Publication 3319 outlines requirements of the IRS Low-
Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITC) program and provides instructions on how
to apply for a LITC grant award. The IRS will review the information
provided by applicants to determine whether to award grants for the
Low-Income Taxpayer Clinics.
Current Actions: Form 13424-M has been revised and a new reporting
Form 13424-R for the LITC Packet.
Form 13424-M incorporates some fields from the Form 13424 and
eliminates a separate form. In lieu of non-competing continuation
applicants filling out a separate project abstract, they will instead
check a box on the form 13424-M listed ``Continuation'' and it will
show only the required fields for completion. If an applicant needs to
report a major change to their program, they will be able to designate
which fields need to be modified and those that don't by checking yes
or no. This will eliminate the problems we had with the Project
Abstract where the grantees would make mistakes or create errors. Form
13424-R will replace the 13424 A, B, C, K, N forms. We reduced the data
points we are collecting significantly, and as a result, we anticipate
that the time to complete will be reduced significantly.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
