Approved through
July 1955 to provide IRS additional time to initiate the next step

Paperwork Reduction Act since the collections were submitted for
extension of the OMB clearance first provided on August 15, 1991.

on the recordkeeping burden imposed by these regulations,
specifically the requirments to: 1) distinguish between accounts
payable for the first 90 days of a liability and other accoun
payable, 2) distinguish between interest and non-interest bearing
accounts, and 3) account separately for receivables and payables
that are included in corporate taxable income.
