Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 56132 [E7-19366]

Download as PDF 56132 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 190 / Tuesday, October 2, 2007 / Notices Prior to September 1, 2006, manufacturers were only allowed to petition NHTSA for high-theft vehicle lines. In its April 6, 2004 final rule, the agency amended part 543 to allow vehicle manufacturers to file petitions to exempt all vehicle lines that would become subject to parts-marking requirements beginning with the effective date of the final rule. As a result of this amendment, vehicle manufacturers are allowed to file petitions to exempt all vehicle lines that would become subject to the partsmarking requirements regardless of their theft status (high or low). While there are approximately 27 vehicle manufacturers, since the effective date of the rule, a maximum of 14 petitions for exemption from the parts-marking requirements have been received by the agency for any single model year. We anticipate this to remain the average number of yearly responses received by the agency. NHTSA estimates that the average hours per submittal will be 226, for a total annual burden of 3,164. This was an increase from the previous OMB inventory of 1,130 burden hours. NHTSA estimates that the cost associated with these burden hours is $36.62 per hour, for a total cost of approximately $115,866. Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Department, including whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the Department’s estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Issued on: September 24, 2007. Stephen R. Kratzke, Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.

RALs target low-income taxpayers, especially those who receive an Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or who do not have banking accounts.

Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA)

    OMB Number: 1591--New.
    Type of Review: Emergency.
    Title: Refund Anticipation Loans--Individual Taxpayers.
    Description: The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration 
(TIGTA), as part of its FY 2008 audit plan, will interview, via survey, 
a valid sample of individual taxpayers who received Refund Anticipation 
Loans (RALs) after submitting electronically filed (e-file) tax 
returns. RALs target low-income taxpayers, especially those who receive 
an Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or who do not have banking accounts. 
Because the duration of a RAL is approximately 7-14 days (the 
difference between the time a RALs are obtained and when they are 
repaid by with taxpayers' refunds), fees for these loans translate into 
triple digit annualized interest rates. While the IRS has eliminated 
the marketing of RALs from its Free File Program, educating taxpayers 
about the cost and burden of RALs and the ability to receive refunds 
quickly without RALs would further help reduce the financial burden 
RALs place on taxpayers. In addition, this data will help in learning 
how RALs affect tax administration, what changes are possible and could 
be taken to better monitor e-file providers, and what actions could be 
taken to mitigate burden through taxpayer education and/or changes to 
the administration of the tax system.
    Respondents: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 51 hours.
