Terms of Clearance: OMB approves this IRS information collection request with the following terms of clearance: IRS revisions to its 2010 and 2011 Form 990 Schedule H were not submitted for OMB approval and therefore were in violation of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Per OMB’s request, IRS submitted the collection for emergency review and approval. While a public comment period is not required for such emergency submissions, given significant public interest in Schedule H and Affordable Care Act-related changes, OMB asked IRS to seek public comment on the collection for 7 days or by May 16, 2012. As some hospitals need to meet a May 15, 2012 filing deadline, IRS requested OMB approval by May 15, 2012. While the filing deadline did not allow for a full consideration of public comments, IRS shall continue to consider any public comments received on this collection on or after May 15, 2012 in its next renewal and/or revision submission to OMB. The violations will also be reported in OMB’s Information Collection Budget Report to Congress.
