Abstract: Due to the adverse economic conditions for banks and other financial institutions the use of and need for this form has increased from 1 (or less) a year to 20 so far in 2009. The forms are necessary to notify the IRS of a fiduciary relationship between the FDIC (or other federal agency) and a financial institution. The IRS needs this information so that letters and notices of tax liability are sent to the fiduciary now in charge of the financial institution.

Emergency Justfication: The filing of Form 56-F by a fiduciary (FDIC or other federal agency acting as a receiver or conservator of a failed financial institution (bank or thrift)) gives the IRS the necessary information to submit send letters, notices, and notices of tax liability to the federal fiduciary now in charge of the financial institution rather than sending the notice, etc. to the institution's last known address.

Short Statement: Form 56-F gives the IRS the necessary information to submit send letters, notices, and notices of tax liability to the federal fiduciary now in charge of the financial institution rather than sending the notice, etc. to the institution's last known address. This form has had an entremely limited respondent population (fewer than 5), and never meet the requirements as outlined in 5 CFR 1320.3(c). However, due to the down-turn in the economy, many more banks, thrifts, and financial institutions have now become potential filers of this form. These failing institutions in 2009 as opposed to the number failing in previous years has created a new potential respondent population, requiring the need for OMB approval. Many more institutions' fiduciaries have had to notify the IRS of their address.
