SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File Form 709 
and/or Payment of Gift/Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax.
    OMB Number: 1545-1913.
    Form Number: Form 8892.
    Abstract: Form 8892 was created to serve a dual purpose. First, the 
form enables the taxpayers to request an extension of time to file Form 
709 when they are not filing an individual income tax extension. 
Second, it serves as a payment voucher for taxpayers who are filing an 
individual income tax extension (by Form 4868) and will have a gift tax 
balance due on Form 709.
    Current Actions: There are no changes being made to the form at 
this time.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10,000.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 43 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 7,200.
    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 
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.

    Approved: March 27, 2018.
