This notice provides interim guidance
regarding application of new or revised requirements under sections
1231 and 1241-1244 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006. It also
provides interim relief from application of new excise taxes on
private foundation grants to supporting organizations and on
sponsoring organizations of donor advised funds.
The Notice provides
immediate guidance and relief to taxpayers with regard to the
excise taxes imposed by PPA 06. The Commissioner TEGE is
requesting public release of this Notice on December 1, 2006, in
order to provide the affected taxpayers with timely and effective
relief before the end of the year. The Notice cannot be released
without a valid OMB control number. An emergency request for a
valid OMB control number is necessitated in this instance as a
result of the short time period between the date of enactment of
PPA 06 and effective dates of the applicable provisions as well as
after taking into consideration the time needed by the Service and
the Treasury to identify the issues and provide meaningful
responses.
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 proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:

(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
