ACTION: Notice of public hearing on
proposed rulemaking.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document provides a
notice of a hearing on the proposed
regulations under section 1221(a)(4) of
the Internal Revenue Code.
DATES: The hearing will be held on
Wednesday, August 22, 2007 at 10 a.m.
ADDRESSES: The public hearing is being
held in the IRS Auditorium, Internal
Revenue Building, 1111 Constitution
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Concerning the regulations, K. Scott
Brown (202) 622–7454; to notify the IRS
that you plan to attend the hearing and
to be placed on the building access list,
Kelly Banks at (202) 622–0392 (not tollfree numbers).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
7, 2006, the Treasury Department and
the IRS published in the Federal
Register (71 FR 44600) proposed
regulations § 1.1221–1(e), under section
1221(a)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code.
These regulations clarify the
circumstances in which accounts or
notes receivable are ‘‘acquired * * * for
services rendered’’ within the meaning
of section 1221(a)(4). A public hearing
was held on November 7, 2006, to
discuss these regulations. Only two
individuals spoke at the hearing.
Additional written comments were
received from interested parties after the
period for comments closed and the
hearing was held. Several of these
written comments contained requests
for private meetings. Because it is more
appropriate to address the concerns
raised in the comments publicly, the
Treasury Department and the IRS are
scheduling a public hearing at which
taxpayers will have another opportunity
to discuss the proposed regulations. The
views expressed at the hearing will be
used in the rulemaking process.
Most of the written comments focused
on the length of time that the decisions
have been outstanding in Burbank
Liquidating Corp. v. Commissioner, 39
T.C. 999 (1963), acq. sub. nom. United
Assocs., Inc., 1965–1 C.B. 3, aff’d in part
VerDate Aug<31>2005

and rev’d in part on other grounds, 335
F.2d 125 (9th Cir. 1964), and Federal
National Mortgage Association v.
Commissioner, 100 T.C. 541 (1993). The
Treasury Department and the IRS
request participants at the forthcoming
public hearing to focus on whether the
interpretation in the proposed
regulations is legally correct, and
whether the decisions in Burbank
Liquidating and Federal National
Mortgage Association correctly applied
section 1221(a)(4).
To attend the hearing, taxpayers must
notify the IRS by Monday, July 23, 2007.
Because of access restrictions, the IRS
will not admit visitors beyond the
immediate entrance area more than 30
minutes before the hearing. To notify
the IRS that you plan to attend the
hearing and for information about
having your name placed on the
building access list to attend the
hearing, see the section in this
document entitled FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Extension of Comment Period
On April 13, 2007, OSHA published
a notice of proposed rulemaking to
revise the Explosives standard (72 FR
18792). In that notice, the Agency
provided the public with ninety (90)
days to submit written comments, until
July 12, 2007. Several interested persons
have requested an extension of the
deadline for submitting comments
explaining that they needed additional
time to gather information and provide
a thorough review and response to the
proposed standard. OSHA is providing
an additional sixty (60) days for the
submission of comments. Accordingly,
written comments must now be
submitted (sent or postmarked) by
September 10, 2007. Granting additional
time to comment on the proposed rule
will allow these and other stakeholders
time to provide more thorough
comments on the proposed rule, which,
in turn, will give OSHA a more
complete record.
