SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Amortizable Bond Premium.
    OMB Number: 1545-1491.
    Regulation Project Number: T.D. 8746.
    Abstract: This regulation addresses the tax treatment of bond 
premium. The regulation provides that a holder may make an election to 
amortize bond premium on a taxable bond by offsetting interest income 
with bond premium, and the holder must attach a statement to their tax 
return providing certain information. The information requested is 
necessary for the IRS to determine whether a holder has elected to 
amortize bond premium.
    Current Actions: Under Sec.  1.171-4(a)(1), a holder makes the 
election to amortize bond premium in the holder's timely filed income 
tax return for the first taxable year to which the holder desires the 
election to apply. This section also provides that the holder should 
attach to the return a statement that the holder is making the election 
under this section. We estimate 5,000 taxpayers will be affected by 
this requirement and that it will take approximately 0.5 hours to 
prepare this statement. The burden for the requirement is approximately 
2,500 hours.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations and 
individuals.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,000.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 0.5 hours
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,500.
    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.

    Approved: October 3, 2017.

Senior Tax Analyst.
