Dear Sir/Madam,

I request access to all memos, communications and documents in the possession or under the control of the Swedish Ministry of Finance related to "IRS Notice 2024-78" (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-24-78...). I additionally request access to all memos, communications, and documents related to "IRS Notice 2023-11" (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-23-11...) that were produced after February 2nd 2024.

Of particular interest are any matters relating to the requirements set forth on page 8 of 2024-78 and page 11 of 2023-11, regarding eligible Model 1 IGA jurisdictions.

I further kindly request that the documents include all communications between the Swedish government and financial institutions regarding the obligation of Model 1 IGA countries [Sweden] as specified in the notice to "Encourage FFIs located in a Model 1 IGA jurisdiction to not discriminate against U.S. citizens that do provide a U.S. TIN."

I believe this information exists, as European governments have previously assured financial institutions that there is temporary relief from certain FATCA reporting requirements. To qualify for this relief, efforts must have been made by governments with respect to the four requirements on pages 8/11, which should be evident from written records.

I understand that certain restrictions or exemptions under the law may apply to the requested information. If such exemptions apply, please provide a written explanation specifying the legal basis for withholding the information.

I kindly request that you respond to this request within the time limit prescribed by law. If for any reason you are unable to comply with this request, I request that you provide an explanation for the rejection.

I thank you for your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response.

Best regards,
Nicholas Lee
