SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980
(44 U.S.C. 3501), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Secretariat
has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to
review and approve an extension of a currently approved information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
A. Purpose
Subpart 4.9, Information Reporting to the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS), and the provision at 52.204-3, Taxpayer Identification,
implement statutory and regulatory requirements pertaining to taxpayer
identification and reporting. This amendment further revises 4.9 and
the provision at 52.204-3 to require the collection and reporting of
the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of certain contract
modifications. A determination was made that additional FAR coverage
was necessary in order to ensure that these contract actions are
reported to the Internal Revenue Service.
When the Internal Revenue Service issued its final regulations
implementing section 6050M of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99-
514), the reporting requirements included the requirement to report
certain modifications to contracts that were awarded before January 1,
1989. It was determined that additional FAR coverage was required.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 6 minutes per response, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden, to General Services
Administration, FAR Secretariat, 18th & F Streets, NW., Room 4037,
Washington, DC 20405.
The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents,
250,000; responses per respondent, 12; total annual responses,
3,000,000; preparation hours per response, .10; and total response
burden hours, 300,000.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requester may obtain copies of OMB
applications or justifications from the General Services
Administration, FAR Secretariat (VRS), Room 4037, Washington, DC 20405,
telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0097,
Information Reporting to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) (Taxpayer
Identification Number), in all correspondence.
Dated: August 2, 1995.
