Title: ANNUAL RETURN OF WITHHELD FEDERAL INCOME TAX, ANNUAL RECORD OF FEDERAL TAX LIABILITY
Type of Information Collection: Extension without change of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 06/14/1995
	Date Received in OIRA: 03/20/1995
Terms of Clearance: Approved through September 1995 as requested 6/13 to provide additional time for consultation with the IRS Chief Counsel concerning compliance with the terms of clearance dated 06/06/94 and submission of a request for a 3-year approval. It is our understanding that operational objections to the removal of the requirement for filing of negative reports on Form 945 have been removed. We anticipate that by mid-July 1995 IRS can assure us that a proposal for amending the regulations at 26 CFR 31.6011(a)-4(a) will be submitted in time to be effective for tax year 1995 (due early in 1996). As a result pension funds not making nonpayroll withholdings during a tax year would no longer be required to file negative reports. If assurance of issuance of the necessary amendment can not be given to us by 7/15/95, IRS should arrange to meet with us to discuss the circumstances preventing compliance with the terms of clearance dated 6/6/94.
