          F.2d 750, 753 n.6 (10th Cir. 1992) (“lack of an OMB number on IRS           
          notices and forms does not violate” the PRA) (citing United                 
          States v. Hicks, supra); Salberg v. United States, 969 F.2d 379,            
          384 (7th Cir. 1992); United States v. Kerwin, 945 F.2d 92 (5th              
          Cir. 1991); United States v. Wunder, 919 F.2d 34, 38 (6th Cir.              
          1990); Wheeler v. Commissioner, 127 T.C. 200, 208 (2006) (“The              
          Paperwork Reduction Act is not a defense to the addition to tax             
          under section 6651(a)(1), nor does it create a loophole in the              
          Code”); Aldrich v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1993-290 (and cases             
          cited therein).                                                             
               Citing dicta in the unpublished, nonprecedential opinion of            
          Pond v. Commissioner, 211 Fed. Appx. 749 (10th Cir. 2007), affg.            
          T.C. Memo. 2005-255, petitioner suggests that 1995 amendments to            
          the PRA call into question these well-established judicial                  
          precedents.  Petitioner has identified, however, and we have                
          discovered nothing in the 1995 amendments to the PRA to suggest             
          that they had this purpose or effect.4                                      

          3(...continued)                                                             
          U.S. App. LEXIS 4237 (9th Cir. 1992), affg. T.C. Memo. 1990-304             
          and Warden v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1990-321.                            
               4 Although his contentions are vague, it appears that                  
          petitioner may be alluding in part to 1995 amendments to 44                 
          U.S.C. sec. 3512, which now provides in part:  “Notwithstanding             
          any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to any               
          penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information              
          that is subject to this subchapter” if certain requirements of              
                                                             (continued...)
