SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Directed Withholding and Deposit Verification and Central
Withholding Agreement.
OMB Number: 1545-2102.
Form Number: Form 13920 and 13930.
Abstract: Form 13930 will be used by an individual who wishes to
have a Central Withholding Agreement (CWA). IRC Section 1441(a)

Section 1.1441-4(b)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations provides that the
withholding can be considered for adjustment if a CWA is applied for
and granted. Form 13920 is used by withholding agents to verify to IRS
that required deposits were made and give the amount of such deposits.
Current Actions: We are seeking to add Form 13920 under the current
approval number 1545-2102.
Type of Review: Revision to Previously Approved IC.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit organizations,
Not-for-profit organizations, and State, Local, or Tribal Governments.

The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of

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
