Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: A reduction in the burden computation is a result of IRC 30B(i) and IRC 26(a)(2). As a result, the form is revised to remove the plug-in conversion credit. IRC 26(a)(2) has expired, thus, lines 5 -11 are reserved for future use due to the probability that IRC 26(a)(2) may be retroactively extended to cover TY 2012 by years end. At the end of 2009, IRC 26(a)(2) was extended retroactively on 12/22/2010. Line changes are in accordance to IRC 25A(i)(5). This results in a net decrease of 27,200 burden hours.
