Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The agency removed the burden associated with PGP-123721-09 Guidance on Making Late Elections to Adjust Basis in Partnership Property (25 responses and 400 hours). The burden is already being accounted for under Revenue Procedure 2016-1 and would result in duplicate reporting of burden. The information collection for Revenue Procedure 2009-25 Rulings and Determination Letters was also removed as burden hours are being reported under 1545-0123. The burden increase is due to the estimated number of respondents and/or recordkeepers changing from 3,825 to 3,956. The estimate has been updated to reflect the most recent data on the number of responses received. The estimated average recordkeeping/reporting burden per respondent remains the same (80 hours). The overall hourly change in burden is 10,880 hours (305,540 hours to 316,020 hours).
