Title: QUESTIONS ON IRS TAX FORMS FOR THE 1992 ECONOMIC CENSUSES
Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Disapproved	Conclusion Date: 07/12/1991
	Date Received in OIRA: 05/13/1991
Terms of Clearance: This request for reinstatement of questions on IRS tax forms is disapproved. The burden entailed by this approach to collecting information for the Economic Censuses has doubled since 1982. The IRS schedule for finalizing the forms for tax year 1992 allows enough time to consider approaches that would target these questions more closely to businesses not covered by data that will be available from BLS or BOC lists, e.g., excluding businesses that file IRS Form 941 and/or Unemployment Insurance payments. The revised plan should be coordinated with BLS and IRS and submitted in 1992 so that its approval can run concurrently with the IRS forms for tax year 1992.
