SUPPORTING STATEMENT

(Form 1363)




1. CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING COLLECTION OF INFORMATION


IRC section 4272(b)(2) excepts exported property from the excise tax on transportation of property. Regulation section 49.4271-1(d)(2) authorizes the filing of Form 1363 by the shipper to request exemption for a shipment, or a series of shipments. The form is filed with the carrier.


2. USE OF DATA


The information is used by the IRS to verify shipments of property made tax-free when a carrier’s return is examined.

3. USE OF IMPROVED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE BURDEN


Low filing volume does not justify the cost the cost of electronic enabling for Form 1363.

13. ESTIMATED TOTAL ANNUAL COST BURDEN TO RESPONDENTS


As suggested by OMB, our Federal Register Notice dated March 1, 2007, 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 responses from taxpayers on this subject. As a result, estimates of these cost burdens are not available at this time.

The primary cost to the government consists of the cost of printing the form. We estimate the cost of printing the form is $228.
