compliance with excise taxes on motor fuels. This joint effort has 
resulted in a system to track the movement of all products to and from 
terminals. Form 720-CS is an information return used by bulk transport 
carriers to report monthly receipts and disbursements of all liquid 
products at a storage location designated by a facility control number 
(FCN). Form 720-TO is completed by terminal operators to report monthly 
receipts and disbursements of all liquid products to and from all 
approved terminals. Form 8809-EX is used to request a 30-day extension 
of time to file an Excise Summary Terminal Activity Reporting System 
(ExSTARS) information report (Form 720-CS or Form 720-TO).
