SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Explanation of Provisions

    Temporary regulations in the Rules and Regulations section of this 
issue of the Federal Register amend 26 CFR part 1 to add Sec. Sec.  
1.1502-43T, 1.1561-1T, 1.1561-2T and 1.1561-3T, and amend Sec. Sec.  
1.1502-47T and 1.1563-1T. The text of those temporary regulations also 
serves as the text of these proposed regulations. The preamble to the 
temporary regulations explains the amendments.

Special Analyses

    It has been determined that this notice of proposed rulemaking is 
not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 
12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It has also 
been determined that section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act 
(5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to the following proposed 
regulations, Sec. Sec.  1.1561-1, 1.1561-3 and 1.1563-1, and because 
these regulations do not impose a collection of information on small 
entities, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not 
apply. With respect to the following proposed regulations, Sec. Sec.  
1.1502-43, 1.1502-47 and 1.1561-2, it is hereby certified that these 
regulations will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. This certification is based on 
the fact that these regulations primarily affect large corporations 
(which are members of either controlled or consolidated groups). 
Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required. Pursuant 
to section 7805(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, this notice of 
proposed rulemaking will be submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy 
of the Small Business Administration for comment on their impact on 
small business.

Comments and Requests for a Public Hearing

    Before these proposed regulations are adopted as final regulations, 
consideration will be given to any written comments (a signed original 
and eight (8) copies) or electronic comments that are submitted timely 
to the IRS. All comments will be available for public inspection and 
copying. A public hearing may be scheduled if requested in writing by 
any person that timely submits written or electronic comments. If a 
public hearing is scheduled, notice of the date, time, and place for 
the public hearing will be published in the Federal Register.

Drafting Information

    The principal author of these regulations is Grid Glyer of the 
Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Corporate). Other personnel from the
