Form Number: Forms CT–1 and CT–
1X.
Abstract: Form CT–1 is used by
railroad employers to report taxes
imposed by the Railroad Retirement Tax
Act (RRTA) and claim eligible employer

information to ensure that the employer
has paid the correct tax. Form CT–1X is
used to correct previously filed Forms
CT–1.
Current Actions: There are changes to
the existing collection: The IRS has
significantly revised the 2021 Forms
CT–1 and CT–1X to allow for the
reporting of new and extended
employment tax credits allowed by the
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021,
Public Law 117–2, sections 9501, 9641,
and 9651. The changes to the forms will
result in an estimated burden increase
of 11,534 hours.

Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations, not-for-profit
institutions, and state, local or tribal
governments.

Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 62,589.
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

Debt Management Advisory Committee
Meeting
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. app. 2, 10(a)(2), that a meeting
will take place via conference call on
February 1, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. of the
following debt management advisory
committee: Treasury Borrowing
Advisory Committee.
At this meeting, the Treasury is
seeking advice from the Committee on
topics related to the economy, financial
markets, Treasury financing, and debt
management. Following the working
session, the Committee will present a
written report of its recommendations.
The meeting will be closed to the
public, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. app. 2,
10(d) and Public Law 103–202,
202(c)(1)(B)(31 U.S.C. 3121 note).
This notice shall constitute my
determination, pursuant to the authority
placed in heads of agencies by 5 U.S.C.
app. 2, 10(d) and vested in me by
Treasury Department Order No. 101–05,
that the meeting will consist of
discussions and debates of the issues
presented to the Committee by the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
making of recommendations of the
Committee to the Secretary, pursuant to
Public Law 103–202, 202(c)(1)(B). Thus,
this information is exempt from
disclosure under that provision and 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(3)(B). In addition, the
meeting is concerned with information
that is exempt from disclosure under 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(A). The public interest
requires that such meetings be closed to
the public because the Treasury
Department requires frank and full
advice from representatives of the
financial community prior to making its
final decisions on major financing
operations. Historically, this advice has
been offered by debt management
advisory committees established by the
several major segments of the financial
community. When so utilized, such a
committee is recognized to be an
advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. app.
2, 3.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
Although the Treasury’s final
announcement of financing plans may
not reflect the recommendations
provided in reports of the Committee,
premature disclosure of the Committee’s
deliberations and reports would be
likely to lead to significant financial
speculation in the securities market.
Thus, this meeting falls within the
exemption covered by 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(9)(A).
The Office of Debt Management is
responsible for maintaining records of
debt management advisory committee
meetings and for providing annual
reports setting forth a summary of
Committee activities and such other
matters as may be informative to the
public consistent with the policy of 5
U.S.C. 552(b). The Designated Federal
Officer or other responsible agency
official who may be contacted for
additional information is Fred
Pietrangeli, Director for Office of Debt
Management (202) 622–1876.
Dated: January 11, 2022.
