BECAUSE THIS IS
THE FIRST TIME IRS HAS COLLECTED INFORMATION ON SAFE HARBOR LEASING
ARRANGEMENTS, THERE IS NEITHER EXPERIENCE IN PREDICTING THE
USEFULNESS OF A VARIETY OF THE DATA ELEMENTS NOR IS THERE ASSURANCE
THAT THIS INFORMATION WILL BE COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH FOR REPORTING
PURPOSES. THEREFORE, THIS FORM IS APPROVED FOR A PERIOD ENDING ON
JANUARY 31, 1983. SHOULD IRS DETERMINE THAT THIS SAME INFORMATION
OR REVISED DATA ELEMENTS ARE NECESSARY TO FULFILL ITS REPORTING
RESPONSIBILITIES, IT WILL SUBMIT A REQUEST TO EITHER EXTEND THE
EXPIRATION DATE OF THIS FORM OR TO REVISE THIS FORM TO OMB NO LATER
THAN OCTOBER 1, 1982. ANY FUTURE REQUEST SHOULD INCLUDE A FULL
EXPLANATION OF THE USE OF EACH DATA ELEMENT AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF
DELETING IT.
