BILLING CODE 4910-13-P DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Internal Revenue Service 26 CFR Part 1 [REG-117501-09] RIN 1545-BI67 Reduced 2009 Estimated Income Tax Payments for Individuals With Small Business Income AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury. ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking by cross-reference to temporary regulations. SUMMARY: In the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the **Federal Register** , the IRS is issuing temporary regulations that provide guidance as to qualified individuals with small business income who certify that they satisfy the gross income requirement for purposes of claiming a reduction in their required 2009 estimated income tax payments.
The temporary regulations implement section 1212 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which amended section 6654(d) of the Internal Revenue Code
(Code)to provide for reduced 2009 estimated income tax payments for certain qualified individuals. The text of the temporary regulations also serves as the text of these proposed regulations. DATES: Written or electronic comments and requests for a public hearing must be received by June 1, 2010. ADDRESSES: Send submissions to: CC:PA:LPD:PR (REG-117501-09), Room 5203, Internal Revenue Service, P.O. Box 7604, Ben Franklin Station, Washington, DC 20044. Submissions may be hand-delivered Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. to: CC:PA:LPD:PR (REG-117501-09), Courier's Desk, Internal Revenue Service, 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC, or sent electronically via the Federal eRulemaking Portal at *http://www.regulations.gov/* (IRS REG-117501-09). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Concerning the proposed regulations, Adrienne Mikolashek at
(202)622-4940; concerning submission of comments and a request for a public hearing, Regina Johnson at
(202)622-7180 (not toll-free numbers). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Temporary regulations in the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the **Federal Register** amend the Income Tax Regulations (26 CFR part 1) relating to section 6654. Section 6654 imposes an addition to tax in the case of an individual taxpayer's underpayment of estimated tax. The temporary regulations provide guidance on reduced estimated income tax payments for qualified individuals with small business income for any taxable year beginning in 2009. The text of those regulations also serves as the text of these proposed regulations. The preamble to the temporary regulations explains the temporary regulations and these proposed regulations. Proposed Effective Date The regulations, as proposed, apply to any taxable year that begins in 2009 or after the date of publication of the Treasury decision adopting these rules as final regulations in the **Federal Register** . Special Analyses It has been determined that this notice of proposed rulemaking is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to these regulations, and because the regulations do not impose a collection of information on small entities, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not apply. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Code, these regulations have been submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on its impact on small business. Comments and Requests for a Public Hearing Before these proposed regulations are adopted as final regulations, consideration will be given to any written (a signed original and eight
(8)copies) or electronic comments that are submitted timely to the IRS. The IRS and the Treasury Department request comments on the substance of the proposed regulations, as well as on the clarity of the proposed rules and how they can be made easier to understand. All comments will be available for public inspection and copying. A public hearing will be scheduled if requested in writing by any person that timely submits comments. If a public hearing is scheduled, notice of the date, time and place for the public hearing will be published in the **Federal Register** . Drafting Information The principal author of these proposed regulations is Adrienne Mikolashek, Office of the Associate Chief Counsel, Procedure and Administration.
