SUPPORTING STATEMENT




1. CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING COLLECTION OF INFORMATION


This revenue procedure sets forth the requirements for participating in the Attributed Tip Income Program (ATIP). ATIP provides benefits to employers and employees similar to those offered under previous tip reporting agreements without requiring one-on-one meetings with the Service to determine tip rates or eligibility.

2. USE OF DATA


This revenue procedure will provide eligible taxpayers the requirements for participating in the ATIP.

  1. USE OF IMPROVED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE BURDEN


There are no plans at this time to offer electronic filing.


4. 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


The form is designed for a small business concern due to the statutory restrictions for eligibility.



6. 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.











8. 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 Revenue Procedure 2006-30.


In response to the Federal Register notice (74 FR 33018), dated July 9, 2009, we received no comments during the comment period regarding Rev. Proc. 2006-30.


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

RESPONDENTS


Not applicable.


10. 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.


12. ESTIMATED BURDEN OF INFORMATION COLLECTION


List the number of responses, time per response, and total

burden for each form included in the submission.

The burden estimate is as follows:


Number of Time per Total

Form Responses Response Hours


RP 2006-30 610 10 hrs. 6,100

Estimates of the annualized cost to respondents for the hour burdens shown are not available at this time.




13. ESTIMATED TOTAL ANNUAL COST BURDEN TO RESPONDENTS


As suggested by OMB, our Federal Register notice dated March 27, 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

After consultation with various functions within the Service, we have determined that the cost of developing, printing, processing, distribution and overhead for the form is $4,750.


15. REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN


There is no change in the paperwork burden previously approved by OMB. This form is being submitted for renewal purposes only.


16. PLANS FOR TABULATION, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND PUBLICATION


Not applicable.


17. REASONS WHY DISPLAYING THE OMB EXPIRATION DATE IS

INAPPROPRIATE


See attachment.


18. 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.
