Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 149 / Friday, August 3, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
file a disclosure statement under this
section must file a completed Form
8918, ‘‘Material Advisor Disclosure
Statement’’ (or successor form) in
accordance with this paragraph (d) and
the instructions to the form. To be
considered complete, the information
provided on the form must describe the
expected tax treatment and all potential
tax benefits expected to result from the
transaction, describe any tax result
protection with respect to the
transaction, and identify and describe
the transaction in sufficient detail for
the IRS to be able to understand the tax
structure of the reportable transaction
and the identity of any material
advisor(s) whom the material advisor
knows or has reason to know acted as
a material advisor as defined in
paragraph (b) of this section with
respect to the transaction. An
incomplete form containing a statement
that information will be provided upon
request is not considered a complete
disclosure statement. A material advisor
may file a single form for substantially
similar transactions. An amended form
must be filed if information previously
provided is no longer accurate, if
additional information that was not
disclosed becomes available, or if there
are material changes to the transaction.
A material advisor is not required to file
an additional form for each additional
taxpayer that enters into the same or
substantially similar transaction. If the
form is not completed in accordance
with the provisions in this paragraph (d)
and the instructions to the form, the
material advisor will not be considered
to have complied with the disclosure
requirements of this section.
(2) Reportable transaction number.
The IRS will issue to a material advisor
a reportable transaction number with
respect to the disclosed reportable
transaction. Receipt of a reportable
transaction number does not indicate
that the disclosure statement is
complete, nor does it indicate that the
transaction has been reviewed,
examined, or approved by the IRS.
Material advisors must provide the
reportable transaction number to all
taxpayers and material advisors for
whom the material advisor acts as a
material advisor as defined in paragraph
(b) of this section. The reportable
transaction number must be provided at
the time the transaction is entered into,
or, if the transaction is entered into
prior to the material advisor receiving
the reportable transaction number,
within 60 calendar days from the date
the reportable transaction number is
mailed to the material advisor.
(e) Time of providing disclosure. The
material advisor’s disclosure statement
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:45 Aug 02, 2007
Jkt 211001
for a reportable transaction must be filed
with the Office of Tax Shelter Analysis
(OTSA) by the last day of the month that
follows the end of the calendar quarter
in which the advisor became a material
advisor with respect to the reportable
transaction or in which the
circumstances necessitating an amended
disclosure statement occur. The
disclosure statement must be sent to
OTSA at the address provided in the
instructions for Form 8918 (or a
successor form).
(f) Designation agreements. If more
than one material advisor is required to
disclose a reportable transaction under
this section, the material advisors may
designate by written agreement a single
material advisor to disclose the
transaction. The transaction must be
disclosed by the last day of the month
following the end of the calendar
quarter that includes the earliest date on
which a material advisor who is a party
to the agreement became a material
advisor with respect to the transaction
as described in paragraph (b)(4) of this
section. The designation of one material
advisor to disclose the transaction does
not relieve the other material advisors of
their obligation to disclose the
transaction to the IRS in accordance
with this section, if the designated
material advisor fails to disclose the
transaction to the IRS in a timely
manner.
(g) Protective disclosures. If a
potential material advisor is uncertain
whether a transaction must be disclosed
under this section, the advisor may
disclose the transaction in accordance
with the requirements of this section
and comply with all the provisions of
this section, and indicate on the
disclosure statement that the disclosure
statement is being filed on a protective
basis. The IRS will not treat disclosure
statements filed on a protective basis
any differently than other disclosure
statements filed under this section. For
a protective disclosure to be effective,
the advisor must comply with the
regulations under this section and
§ 301.6112–1 by providing to the IRS all
information requested by the IRS under
these sections.
(h) Rulings. If a potential material
advisor requests a ruling as to whether
a specific transaction is a reportable
transaction on or before the date that
disclosure would otherwise be required
under this section, the Commissioner in
his discretion may determine that the
submission satisfies the disclosure rules
under this section for that transaction if
the request fully discloses all relevant
facts relating to the transaction which
would otherwise be required to be
disclosed under this section. The

potential obligation of the person to
disclose the transaction under this
section (or to maintain or furnish the list
under § 301.6112–1) will not be
suspended during the period that the
ruling request is pending.
(i) Effective/applicability date—(1) In
general. This section applies to
transactions with respect to which a
material advisor makes a tax statement
on or after August 3, 2007. However,
this section applies to transactions of
interest entered into on or after
November 2, 2006 with respect to which
a material advisor makes a tax statement
under § 301.6111–3 on or after
November 2, 2006. Paragraph (h) of this
section applies to ruling requests
received on or after November 1, 2006.

respect to transactions entered into
before August 3, 2007 are contained in

The Administrative Procedure Act, as
amended by the Freedom of Information
Act, requires publication of certain
policies and procedures and other
information concerning the Department
of the Army in the Federal Register. The
policies and procedures covered by this
part fall into that category. The Army
has changed the publications and
policies, thus requiring the rules in the
Federal Register to be updated. The
Department of the Army published a
proposed rule in the Federal Register on
May 10, 2007 (72 FR 26576) with the
comment period ending on July 9, 2007.
The Department of the Army received
no comments on the proposed rule.
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Department of the Army has
determined that the Regulatory
Flexibility Act does not apply because
the rule does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities within the
meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612.
C. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Department of the Army has
determined that the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act does not apply
because the rule does not include a
mandate that may result in estimated
costs to State, local, or tribal
governments in the aggregate, or the
private sector, of $100 million or more.
D. National Environmental Policy Act
The Department of the Army has
determined that the National
Environmental Policy Act does not
apply because the rule does not have an
adverse impact on the environment.
E. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Department of the Army has
determined that, according to the
criteria defined in Executive Order
13132, this rule does not apply because
it will not have a substantial effect on
the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.

Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is
establishing temporary special local
regulations (SLR) for the Seattle Seafair,
Lake Washington, Washington. These
special local regulations limit the
movement of non-participating vessels
in the regulated race area and provide
for a viewing area for spectator craft.
This rule is needed to provide for the
safety of life on navigable waters during
Seafair. The rule adds four hours to the
effective time period each day of
enforcement of the existing SLR to
accommodate the addition of a
fireworks display in this year’s Seafair
and to promote safety for spectators and
participants through consistency in
enforcement periods.
DATES: This rule is effective from 8 p.m.
until 11:59 p.m. on August 2–5, 2007
unless sooner cancelled by the Captain
of the Port.
ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this
preamble as being available in the
docket are part of docket CGD13–07–
025 and are available for inspection or
copying at the Waterways Management
Division, Coast Guard Sector Seattle,
1519 Alaskan Way South, Seattle, WA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
We did not publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and
5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds
that good cause exists for not publishing
a NPRM and for making this rule
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
Publishing a NPRM would be contrary
to public interest since immediate
action is necessary to ensure the safety
of commercial and recreational vessels
in the vicinity of the events on the date
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
43163
and times this rule will be in effect. If
normal notice and comment procedures
were followed, this rule would not
become effective until after the date of
the event.
On July 2, 2001, the Coast Guard
published a final rule (66 FR 34822)
modifying the regulations in 33 CFR
100.1301 for the safe execution of the
Seattle Seafair Unlimited Hydroplane
races on the waters of Lake Washington.
This special local regulation (SLR)
provides for a regulated area to protect
spectators while providing unobstructed
vessel traffic lanes to ensure timely
arrival of emergency response craft.
Movements are regulated for all vessels
in the area as described under 33 CFR
100.1301 or unless otherwise regulated
by the COTP or his designee. This
temporary final rule is required to
increase the length of time affected by
the regulation.
Background and Purpose
For more than 50 years Seafair on
Lake Washington has been a Pacific
Northwest tradition, entertaining
millions of people over that period.
However, this entertaining event
involves risks to both spectators and
participants. During Seafair, the marine
congestion associated with the number
of boats, swimmers, and spectators on
shore challenges even the most
experienced seaman. These conditions
necessitate the maintenance of a
regulated area to protect spectators
while providing unobstructed vessel
traffic lanes to ensure timely arrival of
emergency response craft.
The Coast Guard is establishing this
regulation to protect vessels and persons
from the hazards associated with the
fallout of burning embers that will be
generated by the fireworks display in
this year’s Seafair and to promote safety
for spectators and participants through
consistency in enforcement periods. The
regulated area is also intended to protect
boaters from the hazards associated with
excessive vessel congestion associated
with Seafair’s activities.
Discussion of Rule
This rule will control the movement
of all vessels in a regulated area on Lake
Washington as indicated in section 2 of
this Temporary Final Rule. This rule
adds four hours to the effective time
period each day of enforcement of the
existing SLR to accommodate the
addition of a fireworks display for this
year’s Seafair and to promote safety for
spectators and participants through
consistency in enforcement periods.
The Coast Guard, through this action,
intends to promote the safety of
personnel and vessels in the area. The
