As indicated in 5CFR1320.6, OMB will not approve a collection of information requiring respondents to submit more than an original and two copies of any documents in the absence of an agency demonstration that such collection of information is necessary to satisfy statutory requirements or other substantial need. The Depatment has failed, however, to justify the requirement for taxpayers to provide four copi as prescribed in 5CFR1320.6(c). Accordingly, the Department must amend the instructions to inform the respondent that only an original and two copies are required. A copy of the revised instructions is to be submitted for inclusion in the OMB docket file.
