Section 1.358–1 is amended by revising paragraph (b), Example to read as follows: I DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY § 1.358–1 Internal Revenue Service * 26 CFR Part 1 Example. A purchased a share of stock in Corporation X in 1935 for $150. Since that date A has received distributions out of other than earnings and profits (as defined in section 316) totaling $60, so that A’s adjusted basis for the stock is $90. In a transaction qualifying under section 356, A exchanged this share for one share in Corporation Y, worth $100, cash in the amount of $10, and other property with a fair market value of $30. The exchange had the effect of the distribution of a dividend. A’s ratable share of the earnings and profits of Corporation X accumulated after February 28, 1913, was $5. A realized a gain of $50 on the exchange, but the amount recognized is limited to $40, the sum of the cash received and the fair market value of the other property. Of the gain recognized, $5 is taxable as a dividend, and $35 is taxable as a gain from the exchange of property. The basis to A of the one share of stock of Corporation Y is $90, that is, the adjusted basis of the one share of stock of Corporation X ($90), decreased by the sum of the cash received ($10) and the fair market value of the other property received ($30) and increased by the sum of the amount treated as a dividend ($5) and the amount treated as a gain from the exchange of property ($35). The basis of the other property received is $30.

Therefore, J is treated as receiving one share of Corporation Y stock and $5 of cash in exchange for each share of Class A stock of Corporation X and one share of Corporation Y stock and $5 of cash in exchange for each share of Class B stock of Corporation X. J realizes a gain of $140 on the exchange of shares of Class A stock of Corporation X, $100 of which is recognized under § 1.356–1(a).

Temporary final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary special local regulation (SLR) for the ChampBoat Grand Prix of Savannah, a speed boat race occurring on the Savannah River. The regulated area is defined as all waters located between the width of the Savannah River bounded on the northern end by the U. S. Highway 17 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 62557 (Talmadge) Bridge across the Savannah River and on the southern end by a line drawn at 146 degrees True from Day Board 62 on the left descending bank of the Savannah River. This special local regulation is necessary to ensure the safety of commercial and recreational vessels and personnel within the regulated area. DATES: This rule is effective from 7 a.m. on November 4, 2006, until 9 p.m. on November 5, 2006. ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in the docket are part of docket CGD07–06– 191, and are available for inspection or copying at Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit Savannah, 100 West Oglethorpe Avenue, Suite 1017, Savannah, Georgia 31401 between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal Holidays. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LT Robert Webb, Waterways Management Officer, Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit Savannah, 912–652–4353. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulatory Information We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this rule. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing an NPRM. The sponsor’s application for this event was not submitted to the Coast Guard with sufficient time for a public comment period before the event date. Publishing an NPRM, which would incorporate a comment period before a final rule could be issued, would be contrary to public safety interests since it would delay the effective date of the rule until after the date of the event. For the same reasons, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. The Coast Guard will issue a broadcast notice to mariners to advise mariners of the regulated area and its requirements. Background and Purpose Speedway Group, Inc. and ChampBoat Series, LLC., submitted an application for a marine event permit for the ChampBoat Grand Prix of Savannah, to be held November 4–5, 2006, in Savannah, GA. After close review of the application and through extensive conversation with port stakeholders, the Coast Guard approved the application. The approval of the application and issuance of the marine permit was contingent on the ability of race coordinators to periodically open the river to commercial traffic.

    (b) * * *
    Example. A purchased a share of stock in Corporation X in 1935 
for $150. Since that date A has received distributions out of other 
than earnings and profits (as defined in section 316) totaling $60, 
so that A's adjusted basis for the stock is $90. In a transaction 
qualifying under section 356, A exchanged this share for one share 
in Corporation Y, worth $100, cash in the amount of $10, and other 
property with a fair market value of $30. The exchange had the 
effect of the distribution of a dividend. A's ratable share of the 
earnings and profits of Corporation X accumulated after February 28, 
1913, was $5. A realized a gain of $50 on the exchange, but the 
amount recognized is limited to $40, the sum of the cash received 
and the fair market value of the other property. Of the gain 
recognized, $5 is taxable as a dividend, and $35 is taxable as a 
gain from the exchange of property. The basis to A of the one share 
of stock of Corporation Y is $90, that is, the adjusted basis of the 
one share of stock of Corporation X ($90), decreased by the sum of 
the cash received ($10) and the fair market value of the other 
property received ($30) and increased by the sum of the amount 
treated as a dividend ($5) and the amount treated as a gain from the 
exchange of property ($35). The basis of the other property received 
is $30.

Sec.  1.358-2  [Corrected]

Par. 3. Section 1.358-2(c) is amended by revising paragraphs (ii) in 
Examples 4, 5, 6 and 11 to read as follows:

    (2) * * *

    (ii) Analysis. Under paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section and 
under Sec.  1.356-1(b), because the terms of the exchange do not 
specify that shares of Corporation Y stock or cash are received in 
exchange for particular shares of Class A stock or Class B stock of 
Corporation X, a pro rata portion of the shares of Corporation Y 
stock and cash received will be treated as received in exchange for 
each share of Class A stock and Class B stock of Corporation X 
surrendered based on the fair market value of such stock. Therefore, 
J is treated as receiving one share of Corporation Y stock and $5 of 
cash in exchange for each share of Class A stock of Corporation X 
and one share of Corporation Y stock and $5 of cash in exchange for 
each share of Class B stock of Corporation X. J realizes a gain of 
$140 on the exchange of shares of Class A stock of Corporation X, 
$100 of which is recognized under Sec.  1.356-1(a). J realizes a 
gain of $80 on the exchange of Class B stock of Corporation X, all 
of which is recognized under Sec.  1.356-1(a). Under paragraph 
(a)(2)(i) of this section, J has 10 shares of Corporation Y stock, 
each of which has a basis of $2 and is treated as having been 
acquired on Date 1, 10 shares of Corporation Y stock, each of which 
has a basis of $4 and is treated as having been acquired on Date 2, 
and 20 shares of Corporation Y stock, each of which has a basis of 
$5 and is treated as having been acquired on Date 3. Under paragraph 
(a)(2)(vii) of this section, on or before the date on which the 
basis of a share of Corporation Y stock received becomes relevant, J 
may designate which of the shares of Corporation Y stock received 
have a basis of $2, which have a basis of $4, and which have a basis 
of $5.
    Example 5. (i) * * *
    (ii) Analysis. Under paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section and 
under Sec.  1.356-1(b), because the terms of the exchange specify 
that J receives 40 shares of stock of Corporation Y in exchange for 
J's shares of Class A stock of Corporation X and $200 of cash in 
exchange for J's shares of Class B stock of Corporation X and such 
terms are economically reasonable, such terms control. J realizes a 
gain of $140 on the exchange of shares of Class A stock of 
Corporation X, none of which is recognized under Sec.  1.356-1(a). J 
realizes a gain of $80 on the exchange of shares of Class B stock of 
Corporation X, all of which is recognized under Sec.  1.356-1(a). 
Under paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section, J has 20 shares of 
Corporation Y stock, each of which has a basis of $1 and is treated 
as having been acquired on Date 1, and 20 shares of Corporation Y 
stock, each of which has a basis of $2 and is treated as having been 
acquired on Date 2. Under paragraph (a)(2)(vii) of this section, on 
or before the date on which the basis of a share of Corporation Y 
stock received becomes relevant, J may designate which of the shares 
of Corporation Y stock received have a basis of $1 and which have a 
basis of $2.
    Example 6. (i) * * *
    (ii) Analysis. Under paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section and 
under Sec.  1.354-1(a), because the terms of the exchange specify 
that J receives 10 shares of stock of Corporation Y

[[Page 62557]]

in exchange for J's shares of Class A stock of Corporation X and a 
Corporation Y security in exchange for its Corporation X security 
and such terms are economically reasonable, such terms control. 
Pursuant to section 354, J recognizes no gain on either exchange. 
Under paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section, J has 10 shares of 
Corporation Y stock, each of which has a basis of $2 and is treated 
as having been acquired on Date 1, and a security that has a basis 
of $100 and is treated as having been acquired on Date 2.
* * * * *
    Example 11. (i) * * *
    (ii) Analysis. Under paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section, J is 
deemed to have received shares of Corporation Y stock with an 
aggregate fair market value of $1,000 in exchange for J's 
Corporation X shares. Consistent with the economics of the 
transaction and the rights associated with each class of stock of 
Corporation Y owned by J, J is deemed to receive additional shares 
of Corporation Y common stock. Because the value of the common stock 
indicates that the liquidation preference associated with the 
Corporation Y preferred stock could be satisfied even if the 
reorganization did not occur, it is not appropriate to deem the 
issuance of additional Corporation Y preferred stock. Given the 
number of outstanding shares of common stock of Corporation Y and 
their value immediately before the effective time of the 
reorganization, J is deemed to have received 100 shares of common 
stock of Corporation Y in the reorganization. Under paragraph 
(a)(2)(i) of this section, each of those shares has a basis of $1 
and is treated as having been acquired on Date 1. Then, the common 
stock of Corporation Y is deemed to be recapitalized in a 
reorganization under section 368(a)(1)(E) in which J receives 100 
shares of Corporation Y common stock in exchange for those shares of 
Corporation Y common stock that J held immediately prior to the 
reorganization and those shares of Corporation Y common stock that J 
is deemed to have received in the reorganization. Under paragraph 
(a)(2)(i), immediately after the reorganization, J holds 50 shares 
of Corporation Y common stock, each of which has a basis of $2 and 
is treated as having been acquired on Date 1, and 50 shares of 
Corporation Y common stock, each of which has a basis of $4 and is 
treated as having been acquired on Date 2. Under paragraph 
(a)(2)(vii) of this section, on or before the date on which the 
basis of any share of J's Corporation Y common stock becomes 
relevant, J may designate which of those shares have a basis of $2 
and which have a basis of $4.
