SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Return for Credit Payments to Issuers of Qualified Bonds. OMB Number: 1545–2142. Form Number: Form 8038–CP. Abstract: Form 8038–CP, Return for Credit Payments to Issuers of Qualified Bonds, was developed to carry out the provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. It provides State and local governments with the option of issuing a tax credit bond instead of a tax-exempt governmental obligation bond. The bill gives state and local governments the option to receive a direct payment from the Federal government equal to a subsidy that would have been received through the Federal tax credit for bonds. Current Actions: Form 8038–CP is used by issuers of build America bonds, recovery zone economic development bonds, and specified tax credit bonds who elect to receive a direct payment from the Federal Government equal to a percentage of the interest payments on these bonds. Changes were made to the form to comply with the current regulations. For specific tax credit bonds with mutual bond maturities, the refundable credit is determined separately for each maturity. As a result of the changes, the total estimated annual burden is projected to increase by 112,000 hours. This form is being submitted for renewal purposes only. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit organizations, Farms. Estimated Number of Respondents: 500. Estimated Time per Respondent: 12 hours 20 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 246,600.

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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:14 Jun 19, 2012 Jkt 226001 public record.
