SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under section 6103(j)(1), upon written
request from the Secretary of Commerce,
the Secretary of the Treasury must
furnish to the Bureau return information
that is prescribed by Treasury
regulations for purposes related to
measuring economic change in the U.S.
national economic accounts. Section
301.6103(j)(1)–1(c) of the regulations
provides an itemized description of the
return information authorized to be
disclosed for this purpose. Periodically,
the disclosure regulations are amended
to reflect the changing needs of the
Bureau for data for its statutorily
authorized statistical activities.
This document contains proposed
regulations authorizing IRS personnel to
disclose additional items of return
information that have been requested by
the Secretary of Commerce.
Temporary regulations in the Rules
and Regulations section of this issue of
the Federal Register amend the
Procedure and Administration
Regulations (26 CFR Part 301) relating to
Internal Revenue Code (Code) section
6103(j). The temporary regulations
contain rules relating to the disclosure
of return information reflected on
returns to officers and employees of the
Department of Commerce for structuring
censuses and national economic
accounts and conducting related
statistical activities authorized by law.
The text of the temporary regulations
also serves as the text of these proposed
regulations. The preamble to the
temporary regulations explains the
proposed regulations.

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 129 / Thursday, July 6, 2006 / Proposed Rules
Special Analyses
It has been determined that this notice
of proposed rulemaking is 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, and because the
regulations do not impose a collection
of information on small entities, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
chapter 6) does not apply. Pursuant to
section 7805(f) of the Code, these
proposed regulations will be submitted
to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the
Small Business Administration for
comment on their impact on small
business.
Comments and Requests for a Public
Hearing
Before these proposed regulations are
adopted as final regulations,
consideration will be given to any
electronic and written comments (a
signed original and eight (8) copies) that
are submitted timely to the IRS. The IRS
and Treasury Department specifically
request comments on the clarity of the
proposed regulations and how they can
be made easier to understand. All
comments will be available for public
inspection and copying. A public
hearing may be scheduled if requested
in writing by a person who timely
submits comments. If a public hearing is
scheduled, notice of the date, time, and
place for the hearing will be published
in the Federal Register.
