Approved. We
note that although the NPRM was issued in March 1992, the
regulations have not been published in final. Therefore, we are
extending approval of the information collection for two years to
provide time for IRS to complete publication. We have changed the
SF 83, items 17 and 18 to reflect the burden imposed by the
NPRM.
