SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS, in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the
public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps the IRS
assess its impact and minimize the burden of its information collection
requirements. 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 and be viewable on
relevant websites. For this reason, please do not include in your
comments information of a confidential nature, such as sensitive
personal information.
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

Title: Fuel Tax Guidance and Related Third-Party Disclosure and
Recordkeeping Requirements.
OMB Number: 1545-1915.
Document Number(s): Notice 2005-4 (as modified) and TD 9346.
Abstract: This collection covers the third-party disclosure and
recordkeeping requirements associated with federal fuel excise tax
provisions contained in Notice 2005-4 (as modified by Notices 2005-24,
2005-62, and 2005-80) and Treasury Decision 9346. The collection
requires certifications, waivers, notification certificates, reseller
statements, and related records that enable taxpayers to substantiate
eligibility for fuel tax credits, refunds, reduced tax rates,
exemptions, and importer liability relief, and allows the IRS to verify
compliance with the applicable excise tax provisions.
Current Actions: This renewal consolidates the notification
certificate requirements previously approved under OMB Control No.
1545-1897 into OMB Control No. 1545-1915 to improve the administration
of related fuel excise tax information collections. There is no
substantive change to the underlying information collection
requirements. The increase in the total burden reflects the transfer of
an existing approved information collection into this OMB control
number rather than the creation of a new reporting or recordkeeping
requirement.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations,
individuals, not-for-profit institutions, farms, and Federal, state,
local or tribal governments.
Estimated Number of Responses: 159,088.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 15 min.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 76,471.
Dated: September 1, 2026.
Ronald J. Durbala,
Tax Analyst.
