The text of those regulations also serves as the text of these proposed regulations. This document also provides notice of a public hearing on these proposed regulations. DATES: Written or electronic comments must be received by February 28, 2005.

Alternatively, taxpayers may submit comments electronically via the IRS internet Web site at https://www.irs.gov/regs, or via the Federal eRulemaking Portal, https:// www.regulations.gov (IRS–REG– 130671–04). The public hearing will be held in the auditorium of the Internal Revenue Building, 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20224. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Concerning the proposed regulations, Michael E. Hara, (202) 622–4910 concerning submissions of comments, the hearing, and/or to be placed on the building access list to attend the hearing, Robin Jones at (202) 622–7180 (not toll-free numbers). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Temporary regulations in the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register amend the Regulations on Procedure and Administration (26 CFR part 301) relating to the filing of corporate income tax returns, S corporation returns, and returns of organizations required under section 6033 on magnetic media under section 6011(e). The temporary regulations require corporations and certain organizations to file their Form 1120, ‘‘U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return,’’ Form 1120S, ‘‘U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation,’’ Form 990, ‘‘Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax,’’ and Form 990–PF, ‘‘Return of Private Foundation or Section 4947(a)(1) Trust Treated as a Private Foundation,’’ electronically if PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 2011 2011 2011 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2013 2013 2013 2013 2014 2014 2014 2015 they are required to file at least 250 returns during the calendar year ending with or within their taxable year. The text of those regulations also serves as the text of these proposed regulations. The preamble to the temporary regulations explains the amendments. Special Analyses It has been determined that these proposed regulations are not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to these regulations. Because these regulations do not impose a collection of information on small entities, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not apply. The IRS and Treasury Department note that these regulations only prescribe the method of filing returns that are already required to be filed. Further, these regulations are consistent with the requirements imposed by statute. Section 6011(e)(2)(A) provides that, in prescribing regulations providing standards for determining which returns must be filed on magnetic media or in other machine-readable form, the Secretary shall not require any person to file returns on magnetic media unless the person is required to file at least 250 returns during the calendar year. Consistent with the statutory provision, these regulations do not require Forms 1120, Forms 1120S, Forms 990, or Forms 990–PF to be filed electronically unless 250 or more returns are required to be filed. Further, if a taxpayer’s operations are computerized, reporting in accordance with the regulations should be less E:\FR\FM\12JAP1.SGM 12JAP1
