Eliminates the provision for disclosure of returns and return information to the Privacy Protection Study Commission. Limits disclosure of a taxpayer's mailing address to a consumer reporting agency which is an agent of a Federal agency to the extent that it is necessary to allow preparation of a commercial credit report for use in accordance with the Federal Claims Collection Act of 1966.
