    Title: Deemed IRAs in Qualified Retirement Plans.
    OMB Number: 1545-1841.

    Abstract: Section 408(q), added to the Internal Revenue Code by 
section 602 of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 
2001, provides that separate accounts and annuities may be added to 
qualified employer plans and deemed to be individual retirement 
accounts and individual retirement annuities if certain requirements 
are met. Section 1.408(q)-1(f)(2) provides that these deemed IRAs must 
be held in a trust or annuity contract separate from the trust or 
annuity contract of the qualified employer plan. This collection of 
information is required to ensure that the separate requirements of 
qualified employer plans and IRAs are met.
    Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden 
previously approved by OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations, Not-
for-profit Institutions, and State, local or tribal government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 800.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 50 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 40,000.
    The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of 
information covered by this notice:
    An agency may not conduct or 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. Books or records 
relating to a collection 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 
comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited 
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) 
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
