        Abstract: Section 1.1502-21T(b)(3) of the regulation contains a 
    collection of information which permits a consolidated group of 
    corporations to elect to relinquish a carryback period with respect to 
    a consolidated net operating loss. The common parent of the group must 
    file a statement evidencing the election with the income tax return of 
    the group. The statement is required to assure that an election to 
    relinquish a carryback period is properly documented.
        Current Actions: There is no change to this existing regulation.
        Type of Review: Extension of OMB approval.
        Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.

        Estimated Time Per Respondent: 10 minutes.
        Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,000.
        The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of 
    information covered by this notice:
        An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
    to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of 
    information displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records 
    relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as 
    their contents may become material in the administration of any 
    internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information 
    are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.

    ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
    be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
    information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
    collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
