or use distributions in earlier years to
pay QHEEs in later years. Accordingly,
the IRS and the Treasury Department
propose to adopt a rule that, in order for
earnings to be excluded from income,
any distribution from a section 529
account during a calendar year must be
used to pay QHEEs during the same
calendar year or by March 31 of the
following year. The IRS and the
Treasury Department welcome
comments on rules necessary to ensure
that distributions from section 529
accounts are appropriately matched to
the payment of QHEEs.
C. Recordkeeping Requirements and
Administrative Procedures
The forthcoming notice of proposed
rulemaking may contain recordkeeping
requirements designed to facilitate the
implementation of these new rules,
including the proposed anti-abuse rule.
QTPs may be required to collect and
retain, and in some cases report to the
IRS, certain information. Programs may
also need to revise their program
documents, administrative procedures,
and promotional and required literature
for AOs and DBs. The forthcoming
notice of proposed rulemaking will
provide a grace period of no less than
15 months to implement most changes.
The IRS and the Treasury Department
welcome comments regarding the
information that would be necessary to
implement the proposed anti-abuse rule,
including a discussion of how to
minimize the burden on QTPs of
collecting or reporting such information.
Request for Comments
Before the notice of proposed
rulemaking is issued, consideration will
be given to any written comments that
are submitted timely (a signed original
and eight (8) copies) to the IRS. All
comments will be available for public
inspection and copying.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May
30, 2007, the Nevada Division of
Environmental Protection (NDEP)
submitted the Maintenance Plan for the
Washoe County 8-Hour Ozone
Attainment Area (April 2007) (‘‘Washoe
County Ozone Maintenance Plan’’) to
EPA for approval as a revision to the

18JAP1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 13 / Friday, January 18, 2008 / Proposed Rules
Washoe County portion of the Nevada
State Implementation Plan (SIP). The
Washoe County Ozone Maintenance
Plan was developed by the Washoe
County District Health Department, Air
Quality Management Division (Washoe
County AQMD) and adopted by the
Washoe County District Board of Health
(District Board of Health) on April 26,
2007. Washoe County AQMD prepared
the plan to provide for continued
attainment of the 8-hour ozone national
ambient air quality standard (NAAQS)
through 2014 and to thereby satisfy the
requirements of section 110(a)(1) of the
Clean Air Act (CAA or ‘‘Act’’) and EPA’s
phase 1 rule implementing the 8-hour
ozone NAAQS. EPA is proposing to
approve the Washoe County Ozone
Maintenance Plan as a revision to the
Washoe County portion of the Nevada
SIP because we find that the submitted
ozone maintenance plan meets all of the
applicable requirements of CAA section
110(a)(1) and our phase 1 rule
implementing the 8-hour ozone
NAAQS.
In the Rules and Regulations section
of this Federal Register, we are
approving the Washoe County Ozone
Maintenance Plan in a direct final
action without prior proposal because
we believe these SIP revisions are not
controversial. If we receive adverse
comments, however, we will publish a
timely withdrawal of the direct final
rule and address the comments in
subsequent action based on this
proposed rule. Please note that if we
receive adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be
severed from the remainder of the rule,
we may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment.
We do not plan to open a second
comment period, so anyone interested
in commenting should do so at this
time. If we do not receive adverse
comments, no further activity is
planned. For further information, please
see the direct final action.
