DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

March 4, 1996
    The Department of Treasury has submitted the following public 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Public Law 96-511. Copies of 
the submission(s) may be obtained by calling the Treasury Bureau 
Clearance Officer listed. Comments regarding this information 
collection should be addressed to the OMB reviewer listed and to the 
Treasury Department Clearance Officer, Department of the Treasury, Room 
2110, 1425 New York Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20220.

SPECIAL REQUEST: In order to conduct the survey described below in the 
late March, early April 1996 time frame, the Department of the Treasury 
is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review and approval 
of this information collection by March 15, 1996. To obtain a copy of 
this information collection, please write to the IRS Clearance Officer 
at the address listed below.

Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

    OMB Number: 1545-1349.
    Form Number: SOI-16.
    Type of Review: Revision.
    Title: Test of the Distribution of Form 8822 M, ``Change of Address 
Mailer''.
    Description: A multi-functional group at IRS Headquarters was 
commissioned to improve the Service's ability to secure, record and use 
the taxpayer's address. One of the recommendations of that group was to 
implement a test (proposed by the Cincinnati Service Center) of the 
effectiveness of sending IRS Form 8822-M, Change of Address, to 
taxpayers who have requested a Change of Address Kit from the United 
States Postal Service.
    If this test is successful, the IRS can implement an improved 
method of delivery of Form 8822-M directly to the taxpayer rather than 
requiring the taxpayer to pick up or order the form from IRS. This will 
also improve the IRS maintenance of up-to-date taxpayer addresses for 
timely delivery of notices and other correspondence.
    Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 9,000.
    Estimated Burden Hours Per Respondent: 16 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Other.
    Estimated Total Reporting Burden: 2,325 hours.
    Clearance Officer: Garrick Shear [phone], Internal Revenue 
Service, Room 5571, 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 
20224.
    OMB Reviewer: Milo Sunderhauf [phone], Office of Management 
and Budget, Room 10226, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC
