This is a request to conduct a yearly
survey on a small portion of the very largest U.S. corporations.
The data will be used to improve the quality of the Statistics of
Income's (SOI) advance tax data. The survey will allow SOI to
collect existing tax information earlier than regular IRS
processing currently allows. Advance tax data has been requested by
the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Office of Tax Analysis and the
Joint Committee on Taxation for tax analysis purposes.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
