This request for clearance is approved for one year. During this period, the Department should explore the potential for modifying the requlatory requirements so as to releave taxpayers from the necessity of filing all of the currently required information unless specifically requested. An approach that should be considered would be to require only those selected for some review ( based on a TCMP result or on other criteria) to provide the detailed information. Under such an approach, taxpayers would continue to be required to have information in their possession that would substantiate their gains and losses but would not routinely provide the information to the Department.
