Section 6324A permits the executor of
a decedent's estate to elect a lien on section 6166 property in
favor of the United States in lieu of a bond or personal liability
if an election under section 6166 was made and the executor files
an agreement under section 6323A(c). Form 13925 lists the
information required in Regulation section 301.6324A-1(b)(1) and
was drafted to help taxpayers file liens that will be valid under
section 6324A and the regulations.

There has been a decrease in
the estimated number of responses and total annual burden hours,
and an increase in the time estimate per response. The number of
responses is based on the agencies most recent filings of form
13925 (500 responses/respondents). Form 13925 was added as an
instrument to this ICR in effort to reduce duplicate reporting (the
form was previously reported under OMB Control Number 1545-2109).
With the development of the form, the agency recognized that the
time to comply with the regulation and complete the form would take
approximately 1 hour versus the original estimate of 15 minutes.
The agency took into consideration the time to glean information
from Form 706 and the current appraisal or valuation documentation
which resulted in the time per response increase. The new decreased
estimate of 500 responses (based on previous year filings) and the
1 hour time per response (increase of 45 minutes) results in an
overall decrease of 8150 total hours for this collection of
information (from 8,650 to 500 hours).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
