SUPPORTING STATEMENT

(Form 990-W)



  1. CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING COLLECTION OF INFORMATION


Form 990-W is used by tax-exempt trusts and tax-exempt corporations to figure estimated tax liability on unrelated business income and on investment income for private foundations and the amount of each installment payment. Form 990-W is a worksheet only. It is not required to be filed.

2. USE OF DATA

The form is optional and is provided to help taxpayers determine their estimated tax liability and the amount of each installment payment.


3. USE OF IMPROVED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE BURDEN


Form 990-W cannot be filed electronically, since its relatively low volume does not justify the cost electronic enabling.


  1. EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY DUPLICATION


We have attempted to eliminate duplication within the agency wherever possible.

5. METHODS TO MINIMIZE BURDEN ON SMALL BUSINESSES OR OTHER SMALL ENTITIES


Not applicable.


  1. CONSEQUENCES OF LESS FREQUENT COLLECTION ON FEDERAL PROGRAMS OR POLICY ACTIVITIES


Not applicable.







7. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRING DATA COLLECTION TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH GUIDELINES IN 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2)


Not applicable.


CONSULTATION WITH INDIVIDUALS OUTSIDE OF THE AGENCY ON AVAILABILITY OF DATA, FREQUENCY OF COLLECTION, CLARITY OF INSTRUCTIONS AND FORMS, AND DATA ELEMENTS


Periodic meetings are held between IRS personnel and representatives of the American Bar Association, the National Society of Public Accountants, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and other professional groups to discuss tax law and tax forms. During these meetings, there is an opportunity for those attending to make comments regarding Form 990-W.


In response to the Federal Register Notice dated May 19, 2006, (71 F. R. 29216), we received no comments during the comment period regarding

Form 990-W.


9. EXPLANATION OF DECISION TO PROVIDE ANY PAYMENT OR GIFT TO RESPONDENTS


Not applicable.


  1. ASSURANCE OF CONFIDENTIALITY OF RESPONSES


Generally, tax returns and tax return information are confidential as required by 26 USC 6103.


11. JUSTIFICATION OF SENSITIVE QUESTIONS


Not applicable.

1.6154-5


13. ESTIMATED TOTAL ANNUAL COST BURDEN TO RESPONDENTS


As suggested by OMB, our Federal Register notice dated May 19, 2006, requested public comments on estimates of cost burden that are not captured in the estimates of burden hours, i.e., estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. However, we did not receive any response from taxpayers on this subject. As a result, estimates of the cost burdens are not available at this time.


14. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT


The primary cost to the government consists of the cost of printing Form 990-W. We estimate that the cost of printing the form is $1,631.




  1. REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN


This change will not affect the burden previously approved by OMB.


We are making this submission to renew the OMB approval.


16. PLANS FOR TABULATION, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND PUBLICATION


Not applicable.


  1. REASONS WHY DISPLAYING THE OMB EXPIRATION DATE IS INAPPROPRIATE


See attachment.


  1. EXCEPTIONS TO THE CERTIFICATION STATEMENT ON OMB FORM 83-I


Not applicable.

Note: The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of information in this submission:


An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of information displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as their contents may become material in the administration of any internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
