The agency is reminded of the need to provide a thorough justification pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12(a):
§1320.13 Emergency processing.
An agency head or the Senior Official, or their designee, may request OMB to authorize emergency processing of submissions of collections of information.
(a) Any such request shall be accompanied by a written determination that:
(1) The collection of information:
(i) Is needed prior to the expiration of time periods established under this Part; and
(ii) Is essential to the mission of the agency; and
(2) The agency cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under this part because:
(i) Public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures are
followed;
(ii) An unanticipated event has occurred; or
(iii) The use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information or is reasonably likely to cause a statutory or court ordered deadline to be missed.

Tax year 2006 is the first year that filers of Form 1065-B (electing large partnerships) can file electronically. Form 8879-B is used when a personal identification number (PIN) will be used to electronically sign the electronic tax return, and, if applicable, consent to an electric funds withdrawal.
This form is to be made available for the 2006 filing season. Its print date is in the first week of November and therefore must be approved quickly. Emergency approval will ensure that taxpayers have the form in time to meet their filing obligations and the IRS will not be subject to monetary penalties from the printing contractor.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
