Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 203 / Monday, October 21, 2024 / Notices
Notice and request for
comments.

ACTION:

The Internal Revenue Service,
as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on continuing
information collections, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The IRS is soliciting comments
concerning information collection
requirements related to voluntary
disclosure practice and the streamlined
filing compliance procedures.
DATES: Written comments should be
received on or before December 20, 2024
to be assured of consideration.
ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments
to Andres Garcia, Internal Revenue
Service, Room 6526, 1111 Constitution
Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20224, or
by email to pra.comments@irs.gov.
Include OMB control number 1545–
2241 or Voluntary Disclosure Practice
and the Streamlined Filing Compliance
Procedures, in the subject line.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the form(s) should be directed
to Kerry Dennis at (202) 317–5751, or at
Internal Revenue Service, Room 6526,
1111 Constitution Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20224, or through the
internet, at Kerry.L.Dennis@irs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Voluntary Disclosure Practice
and the Streamlined Filing Compliance
Procedures.
OMB Number: 1545–2241.
Form Number(s): 14457, 14653, 14654
and 15023.
Abstract: The IRS offers two very
different compliance paths to two very
different populations of taxpayers. First,
the Voluntary Disclosure Practice is a
longstanding practice of IRS Criminal
Investigation (CI). CI takes timely,
accurate, and complete voluntary
disclosures under consideration when
determining whether to recommend
criminal prosecution. A voluntary
disclosure will not automatically
guarantee immunity from prosecution;
however, a voluntary disclosure may
result in prosecution not being
recommended. Form 14457 is used for
all voluntary disclosures. Second, the
Streamlined Filing Compliance
Procedures are available to eligible
taxpayers who can truthfully certify that
their failure to report foreign financial
assets and pay all tax due in respect of
those assets resulted from non-willful
conduct. Forms 14653 and 14654 relate
to the Streamlined Filing Compliance
Procedures. Form 15023 has been

revised to be used as a response to
compliance alerts.
Current Actions: There are changes to
the paperwork burden previously
approved by OMB. The agency has
updated the number of respondents/
responses for Forms 14457, 14653, and
14654. Form 15023 has been revised,
but the changes do not affect burden
and the estimated number of
respondents/responses will remain the
same and will be re-evaluated during
the next revision cycle. The changes to
the response estimates result in an
overall decrease of 1,478 responses and
an overall annual time burden of 61,496
hours.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
15,091.
Estimated Time per Response: 21
hours, 47 min.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 328,892 hours.
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.
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.
