SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration
Title: Confidential Business
Information.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Form Number: This collection of
information uses no standard forms.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0025.
Frequency: Submission of information
pursuant to this regulation will depend
on the frequency with which a given
entity, such as a manufacturer of motor
vehicles or motor vehicle equipment,
submits information and a request that
the agency hold the information
confidential, generally pursuant to
Exemption 4 of the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4).
Affected Public: This collection of
information would apply to any person
who seeks to have the agency treat as
confidential information submitted to
the agency either voluntarily or
pursuant to a mandatory information
request issued by the agency. Thus, the
collection of information could apply to
any of the entities over which the
agency exercises regulatory authority.
Recent trends lead the agency to
estimate that NHTSA will receive
approximately 450 requests for
confidential treatment in 2007 and
subsequent years. Large manufacturers
make the vast majority of requests for
confidential treatment.
Abstract: NHTSA’s Confidential
Business Information (CBI) rule,
coupled with case law, has governed the
submission of requests for confidential
treatment of information for over 20
years. Recently, NHTSA amended the
regulation to address submissions
contained in an electronic medium
(such as a CD–ROM). See 72 FR 59434
(Oct. 19, 2007).
Estimated Annual Burden: Using the
above estimate of approximately 450
requests for confidentiality per year,
with an estimated eight hours of
preparation to collect and provide the
information, at an assumed rate of
$26.70 an hour, the annual estimated
cost of collecting and preparing the
information necessary for 450 complete
requests for confidential treatment is
about $96,120 (8 hours of preparation ×
450 requests × $26.70). Adding in a
postage cost of $2,070 (450 requests at
a cost of $4.60 for postage), we estimate
that it will cost $98,190 per year for
persons to prepare and submit the
information necessary to satisfy the

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 10 / Tuesday, January 15, 2008 / Notices
confidential business information
provisions of 49 CFR part 512.
Requesters are not required to keep
copies of any records or reports
submitted to us. As a result, the cost
imposed to keep records would be zero
hours and zero costs.
Number of Respondents: We estimate
that there will be approximately 450
requests per year.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: Any entity seeking
confidential treatment for information
submitted to the agency will be required
to request confidential treatment from
the agency and to justify that request. To
obtain confidential treatment of
submitted information, the submitting
entity must comply with the
requirements in NHTSA’s CBI
regulation and satisfy the requirements
for one of the exemptions provided
under the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. 552(b).
ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30
days, to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, 725 17th
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503,
Attention NHTSA Desk Officer.
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.
A comment to OMB is most effective if
OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Certain Transfers of Property to

and Real Estate Investment Trusts
(REITs).
OMB Number: 1545–1672.
Regulation Project Number: REG–
142299–01 and REG–209135–88.
Abstract: The regulation applies with
respect to the net built-in gain of C
corporation property that becomes
property of a Regulated Investment
Company (RIC) or Real Estate
Investment Trust (REIT) by the
qualification of a C corporation as a RIC
or REIT or by the transfer of property of
a C corporation to a RIC or REIT in
certain tax-free transactions. Depending
on the date of the transfer of property
or qualification as a RIC or REIT, the
regulation provides that either (1) the C
corporation will recognize gain as if it
had sold the property at fair market
value unless the RIC or REIT elects
section 1374 treatment or (2) the RIC or
REIT will be subject to section 1374
treatment with respect to the net
recognized built-in-gain, unless the C
corporation elects deemed sale
treatment. The regulation provides that
a section 1374 election is made by filing
a statement, signed by an official
authorized to sign the income tax return
of the RIC or REIT and attached to the
RIC’s or REIT’s Federal income tax

return for the taxable year in which the
property of the C corporation becomes
the property of the RIC or REIT. The
regulation provides that a deemed sale
election is made by filing a statement,
signed by an official authorized to sign
the income tax return of the C
corporation and attached to the C
corporation’s Federal income tax return
for the taxable year in which the
deemed sale occurs.
Current Actions: There are no changes
being made to this existing regulation.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
140.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 30

Hours: 70.
The following paragraph applies to all
of the collections of information covered
by this notice:

sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a valid OMB control number.

of information must be retained as long
as their contents may become material
in the administration of any internal
revenue law. Generally, tax returns and
tax return information are confidential,
as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
Request for Comments: Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB approval. All
