SUPPORTING STATEMENT
1. CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
PL 110-458 (Worker , Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008) has been signed by the President on December
23, 2008. Section 125 of the Act requires reporting of payments to current and former qualified employees of
commercial passenger airline carriers made (i)under the approval of an order of a Federal bankruptcy court in a case
filed after September 11, 2001, and before January 1, 2007, and (ii) in respect of the qualified airline employee's
interest in a bankruptcy claim against the carrier, any note of the carrier (or amount paid in lieu of a note being issued),
or any other fixed obligation of the carrier to pay a lump sum amount.

2. USE OF DATA
This data will be used to determine the amount of money received from a commercial passenger airline carrier that a
qualified employee (current or former) is eligible to roll into a Roth IRA.

3. USE OF IMPROVED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE BURDEN
There are no plans to provide electronic filing because electronic filing is not appropriate for the collection of
information in this submission.

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
Not applicable.

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 Form 8935.

We received no comments during the comment period in response to the Federal Register notice dated July 13, 2009
(74 FR 33514).

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 U.S.C. 6103.

11. JUSTIFICATION OF SENSITIVE QUESTIONS
Not applicable.

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 July 13, 2009 (74 FR 33514), 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 $5,000.

15. REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN
There were no changes made to the document that resulted in any change to the burden previously reported to OMB.
We are making this submission to request OMB approval.

16. PLANS FOR TABULATION, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND PUBLICATION
Not applicable.

17. REASONS WHY DISPLAYING THE OMB EXPIRATION DATE IS INAPPROPRIATE
We believe that displaying the OMB expiration date is inappropriate because it could cause confusion by leading
taxpayers to believe that the regulation sunsets as of the expiration date. Taxpayers are not likely to be aware that the
Service intends to request renewal of OMB approval and obtain a new expiration date before the old one expires.

18. EXCEPTIONS TO THE CERTIFICATION STATEMENT ON OMB PRA SUBMISSION FORM
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.
