Regulation Project Number: TD 7882,
TD 8050, and REG–103380–05.
Abstract: Before April 1, 1983, section
4061 imposed a tax on the
manufacturer’s sale of certain highwaytype tractors, chassis, and bodies for
highway-type trailers and trucks, and
related parts and accessories for these
articles. The Highway Revenue Act of
1982, Public Law 97–424 (96 Stat. 2097)
(the 1982 Act), changed this tax to a 12
percent tax under section 4051(a)(1) on
the first retail sale of certain highwaytype tractors and chassis and bodies for
highway-type trailers and trucks.
On April 4, 1983, temporary

regulations relating to the excise taxes
imposed on the sale of highway tractors,
trailers, trucks, and tires; the use of
heavy vehicles on the highway; and the
definition of highway vehicle related to
these and other taxes. These proposed
regulations reflect legislative changes

affect manufacturers, producers,
importers, dealers, retailers, and users of
certain highway tractors, trailers, trucks,
and tires.

The following paragraph applies to all
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 if 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.
Desired Focus of Comments: The
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and

collection of information on those who
are to respond, including using
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., by
permitting electronic submissions of
responses.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or

of the extension of the information
collection; they will also become a
matter of public record.

remaining portion of each subcommittee
meeting will be closed to the public for
the discussion, examination, reference
to, and oral review of the research
applications and critiques. During the
closed portion of each subcommittee
meeting, discussion and
recommendations will include
qualifications of the personnel
conducting the studies (the disclosure of
which would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy), as well as research information
(the premature disclosure of which
would likely compromise significantly
the implementation of proposed agency
action regarding such research projects).
As provided by subsection 10(d) of
Public Law 92–463, as amended by
Public Law 94–409, closing the meeting
is in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
