    OMB Number: 1545-1467.
    Form Number: Forms 9779, 9783, 9787, and 9789.
    Abstract: These forms are used by business and individual taxpayers 
to enroll in the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). EFTPS 
is an electronic remittance processing system the Service uses to 
accept electronically transmitted federal tax payments. EFTPS (1) 
establishes and maintains a taxpayer data base which includes entity 
information from the taxpayers or their banks, (2) initiates the 
transfer of the tax payment amount from the taxpayer's bank account, 
(3) validates the entity information and selected elements for each 
taxpayer, and (4) electronically transmits taxpayer payment data to the 
IRS.
    Current Actions: There are no changes being made to these forms.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals, business or other for-profit 
organizations, and state, local or tribal governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,350,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 755,192.
    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. 
Comments will be 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 has 
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 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 29, 2018.
