• Treasury estimates 80,000 respondents annually, each submitting once, for an estimated total annual burden of 40,000 hours.
• An artificial intelligence tool processes initial tip entries, populates standardized fields and generates routing recommendations before human review.

• This is an extension without change of a currently approved collection under OMB Control Number 1505-0284.
