SUPPORTING STATEMENT
(Form 4810)
CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Fiduciaries representing a dissolving corporation or a decedent's estate may request a prompt assessment of tax, as provided by section 6501(d) of the Internal Revenue Code.
USE OF DATA
This form is used to help locate the return and expedite the processing of the taxpayer's request. The information provided by this document is required to meet the criteria for the special 18-month statutory period.
USE OF IMPROVED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE BURDEN
Form 4810 cannot be filed electronically, since its relatively low volume does not justify the cost electronic enabling.
4 EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY DUPLICATION
We have attempted to eliminate duplication within the agency wherever possible.
METHODS TO MINIMIZE BURDEN ON SMALL BUSINESSES OR OTHER SMALL ENTITIES
Not applicable.
CONSEQUENCES OF LESS FREQUENT COLLECTION ON FEDERAL PROGRAMS OR POLICY ACTIVITIES
Not applicable.
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRING DATA COLLECTION TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH GUIDELINES IN 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2)
Not applicable.
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 4810.
In response to the Federal Register notice dated February 10, 2012 (77 FR 7241) we received no comments during the comment period regarding Form 4810.
EXPLANATION OF DECISION TO PROVIDE ANY PAYMENT OR GIFT TO RESPONDENTS
Not applicable.
ASSURANCE OF CONFIDENTIALITY OF RESPONSES

ESTIMATED BURDEN OF INFORMATION COLLECTION
The burden estimation is as follows:
Number of Responses: 4,000
Time per Response: 6.2
Total Hours: 24,800
The regulation 301.6501(d)-1 imposes no additional burden. Please continue to assign OMB number 1545-0430 to this regulation.
Estimates of the annualized cost to respondents for the hour burdens shown are not available at this time.
ESTIMATED TOTAL ANNUAL COST BURDEN TO RESPONDENTS
As suggested by OMB, our Federal Register notice dated February 10, 2012 (77 FR 7241), 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 cost 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.
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 Form 4810 is $2,900.
REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN
We are making this submission to renew the OMB approval.
PLANS FOR TABULATION, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND PUBLICATION
Not applicable.
REASONS WHY DISPLAYING THE OMB EXPIRATION DATE IS INAPPROPRIATE
