SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to final and temporary 
regulations (TD 9444) that were published in the Federal Register on 
Wednesday, February 11, 2009, under sections 367(a), 367(b) and 1248(a) 
of the Internal Revenue Code. The final regulations under section 367 
revise existing final regulations and add cross-references.
    The final regulations under section 1248 update an effective/
applicability date. The temporary regulations under section 367(a) and 
(b) revise existing final regulations concerning transfers of stock to 
a foreign corporation that are described in section 351 by reason of 
section 304(a)(1). The temporary regulations under section 1248(a) 
provide that, for purposes of section 1248(a), gain recognized by a 
shareholder under section 301(c)(3) in connection with the receipt of a 
distribution of property from a foreign corporation with respect to its 
stock shall be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of the stock 
of such foreign corporation. The temporary regulations affect certain 
persons that transfer stock to a foreign corporation in a transaction 
described in section 304(a)(1), or certain persons that recognize gain 
under section 301(c)(3) in connection with the receipt of a 
distribution of property from a foreign corporation with respect to its 
stock.
