SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Explanation of Provisions

    Temporary regulations in the Rules and Regulations section of this 
issue of the Federal Register amend the existing regulations under 
sections 6011 and 6071 to (1) specify the form that must be used to 
accompany payment of the excise tax imposed by section 4959 for failure 
to meet the community health needs assessment requirements of section 
501(r)(3), and (2) provide the due date for filing the form. Section 
501(r) and section 4959 were enacted by section 9007 of the Patient 
Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148 (124 Stat. 119 
(2010)).
    The text of those temporary regulations also serves as the text of 
these proposed regulations. The preamble to the temporary regulations 
explains the amendments.

Special Analyses

    It has been determined that this notice of proposed rulemaking is 
not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 
12866, as supplemented by Executive Order 13563. 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. It is hereby certified that this 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. This certification is based on the fact that 
this rule merely provides guidance as to the timing and filing of Form 
4720 for charitable hospital organizations liable for the section 4959 
excise tax, and completing the applicable portion (Schedule M) of the 
Form 4720 for this purpose imposes little incremental burden in time or 
expense. The liability for the section 4959 excise tax is imposed by 
statute, and not these regulations. In addition, a charitable hospital 
organization may already be required to file the Form 4720 under the 
existing final regulations in sections 53.6011-1 and 53.6071-1 if it is 
liable for another Chapter 41 or 42 excise tax. Therefore, a Regulatory 
Flexibility Analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 
Chapter 6) is not required. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Code, 
these proposed regulations were submitted to the Chief Counsel for 
Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on their 
impact on small business, and no comments were received.

Comments and Requests for Public Hearing

    Before these proposed regulations are adopted as final regulations, 
consideration will be given to any comments that are submitted timely 
to the IRS as prescribed in this preamble under the ADDRESSES heading. 
The Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on all aspects of 
the proposed rules. All comments will be available at 
www.regulations.gov or upon request.

scheduled, notice of the date, time, and place for the public hearing 
will be published in the Federal Register.
