The proposed regulations contained proposed amendments to the Estate Tax Regulations (26 CFR part 20) and the Procedure and Administration Regulations (26 CFR part 301) relating to the election under section 2032 to value a decedent’s gross estate on the alternate valuation date. The proposed regulations reflected changes that were made to section 2032 by the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, Public Law 98– 369 (98 Stat. 494). Written comments were received on the proposed regulations, and a public hearing was held on June 3, 2004. The proposed regulations, with certain changes in response to the written and oral comments, are adopted as final regulations. Summary of Comments and Explanation of Provisions 26 CFR Parts 20 and 301 VerDate jul<14>2003 regulation § 301.9100–6T(b) of the Procedure and Administration Regulations so that estates that fail to make the alternate valuation election on the last estate tax return filed before the due date of the return, or on the first estate tax return filed after the due date of the return may request an extension of time to make the election under the provisions of §§ 301.9100–1 and 301.9100–3. The final regulations affect estates that are required to file Form 706, United States Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return. DATES: Effective Date: These regulations are effective January 4, 2005. Applicability Date: For dates of applicability, see § 20.2032–1(h). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Theresa M. Melchiorre at (202) 622– 7830 (not a toll-free number). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Jkt 205001 Determination of Eligibility To Make the Alternate Valuation Election The proposed regulations provided that the alternate valuation election may be made only if the election results in a decrease both in the value of the gross estate and in the sum of the estate tax and generation-skipping transfer tax liability (reduced by credits allowable against these taxes). One commentator noted that it may not be possible to determine whether the election will reduce the sum of estate tax and generation-skipping transfer tax if the generation-skipping transfer tax will not be imposed until a later time, as in the case of a later taxable termination or taxable distribution. In response to this PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 295 comment, the final regulations provide that the determination of whether there has been a decrease in the sum of the estate tax and generation-skipping transfer tax liability (reduced by credits allowable against these taxes) is made with reference to the estate tax and generation-skipping transfer tax payable by reason of the decedent’s death. Availability of Relief Under §§ 301.9100–1 and 301.9100–3 In view of the 1-year limitation imposed under section 2032(d)(2), the proposed regulations provided that no request for an extension of time to make the alternate valuation election under the provisions of §§ 301.9100–1 and 301.9100–3 will be granted if the request is submitted to the IRS more than 1 year after the due date of the return of tax imposed by section 2001 (including extensions of time actually granted). One commentator argued that the 1-year limitation in section 2032(d)(2) applies only to late-filed returns, and therefore should not limit the availability of relief under §§ 301.9100–1 and 301.9100–3 to make a late alternate valuation election if the taxpayer timely filed its return, but failed to make the election on the return. After considering the language and intent of section 2032 and §§ 301.9100–1 and 301.9100–3, the IRS and Treasury Department have determined that taxpayers may request relief under §§ 301.9100–1 and 301.9100–3, even after the expiration of the 1-year period, and that such relief may be granted (subject to the requirements of §§ 301.9100–1 and 301.9100–3) provided that the return of tax is filed no later than 1 year after the due date of the return (including extensions of time actually granted). This rule also will apply to requests under §§ 301.9100–1 and 301.9100–3 for an extension of time to make a protective election under section 2032. The IRS and Treasury Department also have determined that taxpayers should be permitted to apply for relief under §§ 301.9100–1 and 301.9100–3 to make a late election under section 2056A to be treated as a Qualified Domestic Trust (QDOT). Like the alternate valuation election of section 2032, no election under section 2056A to be treated as a QDOT may be made on a return that is filed more than 1 year after the due date of the return (including extensions of time actually granted). Section 2056A(d). Thus, taxpayers will be permitted to apply for an extension of time under the provisions of §§ 301.9100–1 and 301.9100–3 to make an election under section 2056A(d), provided that the E:\FR\FM\04JAR1.SGM 04JAR1

Background

    On Wednesday, December 15, 2004, DEA published a Final Rule with 
request for comment entitled ``Exemption of Chemical Mixtures'' in the 
Federal Register (69 FR 74957). The aspect of the Final Rule subject to 
this correction concerns the amendatory instructions for 21 CFR 1310.04 
in which DEA indicated that ``Section 1310.04 is to be amended by 
revising paragraph (h) and adding new paragraphs (i) and (j)''. 
However, it was not DEA's intent to add new paragraphs (i) and (j). DEA 
only intended to revise paragraph (h). Therefore, to alleviate any 
confusion which might arise regarding these amendatory instructions, 
DEA is correcting the amendatory instructions for 21 CFR 1310.04. No 
substantive changes to 21 CFR 1310.04 are occurring in this correction.

Accordingly, the publication on Wednesday, December 15, 2004 of the 
Final Rule with request for comment [Docket No. DEA-137f2, RIN 1117-
