The Internal Revenue Service PIAs can be found at http://www.irs.gov/uac/Privacy-Impact-Assessments-PIA.

ESTIMATED BURDEN OF INFORMATION COLLECTION
The burden estimate is as follows:
Number of Time per Total
Responses Response Hours
Form 8329 10,000 5.88 58,800
Form 8330 2,000 7.46 14,920
12,000 73,720
Estimates of the annualized cost to respondents for the hour burdens shown are not available at this time.
Reporting regulations which impose no additional burden:
1.25-1T through 8T
We have reviewed these regulations and have determined that the reporting requirements contained in them are entirely reflected on the form(s). The justification appearing in Item 1 of the supporting statement applies both to these regulations and to the forms(s).
Please continue to assign OMB Number 1545-0922 to these regulations.
ESTIMATED TOTAL ANNUAL COST BURDEN TO RESPONDENTS
As suggested by OMB, our Federal Register notice dated September 11, 2014, 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.
ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The primary cost to the government consists of the cost of printing Forms 8329 and 8330. We estimate that the cost of printing these forms is $1,359.
REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN
There are no changes being made to Form 8329 or Form 8330.
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 IN APPROPRIATE
See attachment.
