ACTION: Request for public comment: 60Day notice. AGENCY: The Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) provides States a guideline for describing crashes involving motor vehicles in-transport to generate the information necessary to improve traffic safety. The primary benefit of using MMUCC is increased crash data uniformity so traffic safety insights can be developed more quickly. Since its inception in 1998, MMUCC has been a voluntary guideline for States; however, standardization of crash data is essential to NHTSA and its safety stakeholders. The crash data that NHTSA obtains from the States supports several of NHTSA’s efforts such as the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS), which are essential to NHTSA’s traffic safety activities as well other Federal, State, and local agencies. Therefore, it is critical that the recommended MMUCC data elements be designed with clarity, purpose, and feasibility. NHTSA is revising the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) 5th Edition and requests comments on the draft MMUCC Guideline, Sixth Edition available at Regulations.gov, to inform appropriate improvements and identify stakeholder concerns.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Title: Provisional Foreign Tax Credit Agreement. OMB Control Number: 1545–2296. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Description: Sections 901 and 905 allow a taxpayer to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign income taxes paid or accrued in a taxable year, depending on taxpayer’s method of accounting for such taxes. However, regardless of the year in which the credit is allowed based on taxpayer’s method of accounting, the foreign tax credit is allowed only to the extent the foreign income taxes are ultimately both owed and actually remitted to the foreign country. For accrual method taxpayers, section 461(f) (flush language), section 1.461–2(a)(2)(i), and section 1.905– 1(d)(3) provide that a foreign income tax liability that is contested does not accrue and is not creditable until the contest is resolved. For cash method taxpayers, a foreign income tax liability that is contested is not a reasonable approximation of the taxpayer’s final foreign income tax liability and, thus, under section 1.901–2(e)(2)(i), is not considered an amount of tax paid for purposes of section 901 until the contest is resolved. However, sections 1.905–1(c)(3) and 1.905–1(d)(4) allow taxpayers to make an election to claim a provisional foreign tax credit for a contested foreign income tax liability to the extent that the taxpayer has remitted the contested tax to the foreign country. As a condition for making this election, the taxpayer must enter into a provisional foreign tax credit agreement, in which the taxpayer gives the IRS information E:\FR\FM\02FEN1.SGM 02FEN1
