Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 81 / Friday, April 25, 2008 / Proposed Rules
reorganization of Corporation that qualified
under section 368(a) with respect to which
no gain or loss was recognized for income tax
purposes under section 354 or 355. Pursuant
to the reorganization, D’s estate opted to
exchange its stock for stock subject to transfer
restrictions. Although the value of the stock
did not change during the alternate valuation
period, discounts for lack of marketability
and lack of control (totaling $20X) were
applied in determining the value of the stock
held by D’s estate on the AVD, and D’s estate
reported the value of the stock on the AVD
as $30X. Because the claimed reduction in
value is not attributable to market conditions,
the discounts may not be taken into account
in determining the value of the stock on the
AVD. Accordingly, the value on the AVD is
$50X.
Example 2. The facts are the same as in
Example 1 except that the value of the stock
declined from $50X to $40X during the
alternate valuation period because of changes
in market conditions during that period. D’s
estate may report the value of the stock as
$40X on the AVD. As in Example 1, however,
no discounts resulting from the
reorganization are allowed in computing the
value on the AVD.
Example 3. At D’s death, D owned property
valued at $100X. Two months after D’s death,
the executor of D’s estate and other family
members formed four limited partnerships.
The estate contributed the estate’s property to
the partnerships in exchange for a 25%
interest in each partnership. Discounts for
lack of marketability and lack of control
(totaling $25X) were applied in determining
the value of the estate’s partnership interests,
and the estate reported $75X as the total
value of the estate’s partnership interests on
the AVD. Because the reduction in value is
not attributable to market conditions, the
discounts for lack of marketability and
control may not be taken into account in
determining the value of the partnership
interests on the AVD. The result would be
the same if the limited partnerships were
formed prior to D’s death, and the estate
transferred property into the partnerships
after D’s death but prior to the AVD.
Example 4. At D’s death, D owned 100%
of the units of a limited liability company
(LLC). The executor elected the alternative
valuation method. During the 6 months
following D’s death and in accordance with
D’s will, the executor made 6 distributions,
each to a different residuary legatee on a
different date and each of a 10% interest in
the LLC. Pursuant to section 2032(a)(1), each
distribution is valued on the distribution
date. On the AVD, the estate held 40% of the
units in the LLC. Pursuant to section
2032(a)(2), the 40% is valued on the AVD. In
valuing the 10% interests distributed and the
40% interest held on the AVD, discounts for
lack of control and lack of marketability were
applied. The reduction in value of the units
is not attributable to market conditions.
Accordingly, the discounts for lack of
marketability and control may not be taken
into account in determining the value of the
units distributed or held by the estate. The
value of each 10% distribution is determined
by taking 10% of the value on the
distribution date of the units (100%) owned
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
by the estate at D’s death. The value of the
units held by the estate on the AVD is
determined by taking 40% of the value on the
AVD of all of the units (100%) owned by the
estate at D’s death. If because of market
conditions, the units had declined in value
as of each distribution date or as of the AVD,
D’s estate would take such reduction in value
into account.
Example 5. D died owning 100% of
Blackacre. D’s will directs that Blackacre be
divided between two trusts, 70% to Trust A
for the benefit of S, D’s surviving spouse, and
30% to Trust B for the benefit of C, D’s
surviving child. The executor of D’s estate
distributed a 70% interest in Blackacre to
Trust A three months after D’s death, and
distributed a 30% interest in Blackacre to
Trust B four months after D’s death. On the
estate tax return, the executor elected to
value the estate’s property under the
alternate valuation method under section
2032. There was no change in the value of
Blackacre during the four-month period
following D’s death. The 70% interest in
Blackacre is to be valued as of the
distribution date to Trust A, and that value
is determined by taking 70% of the value of
all (100%) of Blackacre as of the distribution
date. The 30% interest in Blackacre is to be
valued as of the distribution date to Trust B,
and that value is determined by taking 30%
of the value of all (100%) of Blackacre as of
the distribution date. If, however, because of
market conditions such as a decline in the
real estate market, Blackacre’s value had
declined by 10% between D’s date of death
and the distribution date of the 30% interest,
the value of the 30% interest would be
determined by ascertaining 30% of the value
of all (100%) of Blackacre as of the
distribution date, which would equal 30% of
90% of the date of death value of Blackacre.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Meeting
We do not now plan to hold a public
meeting. But you may submit a request
for a meeting by writing to Commander,
Coast Guard Sector Detroit at the
address under ADDRESSES explaining
why one would be beneficial. If we
determine that one would aid this
rulemaking, we will hold one at a time
and place announced by a later notice
in the Federal Register.
Background and Purpose
This proposed rule will remove the
specific entries from table 1 found in 33
CFR 100.901, Great Lakes annual marine
events that apply to regattas and marine
parades in the Captain of the Port
Detroit zone and list each regatta or
marine parade as a subpart. This
proposed rule will also add several
regattas and marine parades not
previously listed in 33 CFR part 100 and
remove several events that no longer
occur annually or are not regattas or
marine parades.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
This proposed rule is intended to
ensure safety of life on the navigable
waters immediately prior to, during, and
immediately after regattas or marine
parades. This proposed rule will
establish restrictions upon and control
the movement of vessels through a
specified area immediately prior to,
during, and immediately after regattas
or marine parades.
The Captain of the Port Detroit will
cause notice of enforcement of the
special local regulations established by
this section to be made by all
appropriate means to the affected
segments of the public. Such means of
notification will include, but is not
limited to, Broadcast Notice to Mariners
and Local Notice to Mariners. The
Captain of the Port Detroit will issue a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners notifying
the public when enforcement of the
special local regulations is terminated.
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposed rule is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review, and
does not require an assessment of
potential costs and benefits under
section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
We expect the economic impact of
this proposed rule to be so minimal that
a full Regulatory Evaluation is
unnecessary.
The Coast Guard’s use of these special
local regulations will be periodic in
nature, of short duration, and designed
to minimize the impact on navigable
waters. These special local regulations
will only be enforced immediately
before and during the time the marine
events are occurring. Furthermore, these
special local regulations have been
designed to allow vessels to transit
unrestricted to portions of the
waterways not affected by the special
local regulations. The Coast Guard
expects insignificant adverse impact to
mariners from the activation of these
special local regulations.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this proposed rule would have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises
small businesses, not-for-profit
organizations that are independently
owned and operated and are not
dominant in their fields, and
governmental jurisdictions with
populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule
would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
This proposed rule would affect the
following entities, some of which might
be small entities: The owners of
operators of vessels intending to transit
or anchor in the areas designated as
special local regulations in paragraphs
(4) through (13) during the dates and
times the special local regulations are
being enforced.
These special local regulations would
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
for the following reasons. The special
local regulations in this proposed rule
would be in effect for short periods of
time, and only once per year. The
special local regulations have been
designed to allow traffic to pass safely
around the zone whenever possible and
vessels will be allowed to pass through
the zones with the permission of the
Captain of the Port.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this proposed rule would have
a significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
E:\FR\FM\25APP1.SGM
25APP1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 81 / Friday, April 25, 2008 / Proposed Rules
ADDRESSES)
explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this proposed rule would economically
affect it.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this proposed rule so that
they can better evaluate its effects on
them and participate in the rulemaking.
If the proposed rule would affect your
small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact
LT Jeff Ahlgren, Waterways
Management, U.S. Coast Guard Sector
Detroit, 110 Mount Elliot Ave., Detroit,
MI 48207; (313) 568–9580. The Coast
Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about
this proposed rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.
Collection of Information
This proposed rule calls for no new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism
under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct
effect on State or local governments and
would either preempt State law or
impose a substantial direct cost of
compliance on them. We have analyzed
this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it does not have
implications for federalism.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 or more in any one year.
Though this proposed rule will not
result in such expenditure, we
nevertheless discuss its effects
elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

taking of private property or otherwise

Civil Justice Reform
This proposed rule meets applicable
standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce
burden.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This proposed rule is not an
economically significant rule and does
not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
The Coast Guard recognizes the treaty
rights of Native American Tribes.
Moreover, the Coast Guard is committed
to working with Tribal Governments to
implement local policies and to mitigate
tribal concerns. We have determined
that these safety zones and fishing rights
protection need not be incompatible.
We have also determined that this
proposed rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.
Nevertheless, Indian Tribes that have
questions concerning the provisions of
this proposed rule or options for
compliance are encouraged to contact
the point of contact listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have
determined that it is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under that order because
it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866 and is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect
on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy. The Administrator of the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs
has not designated it as a significant
energy action. Therefore, it does not
require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
22305
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use
voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless the agency
provides Congress, through the Office of
Management and Budget, with an
explanation of why using these
standards would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are
technical standards (e.g., specifications
of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling
procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This proposed rule does not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guides the Coast
Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination
that this action is not likely to have a
significant effect on the human
environment. A preliminary
‘‘Environmental Analysis Check List’’
supporting this preliminary
determination is available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES. We
seek any comments or information that
may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from
this proposed rule.

[USCG-2008-0220]
RIN 1625-AA08
Regattas and Marine Parades; Great Lakes Annual Marine Events
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Meeting
We do not now plan to hold a public meeting. But you may submit a
request for a meeting by writing to Commander, Coast Guard Sector
Detroit at the address under ADDRESSES explaining why one would be
beneficial. If we determine that one would aid this rulemaking, we will
hold one at a time and place announced by a later notice in the Federal
Register.
Background and Purpose
This proposed rule will remove the specific entries from table 1
found in 33 CFR 100.901, Great Lakes annual marine events that apply to
regattas and marine parades in the Captain of the Port Detroit zone and
list each regatta or marine parade as a subpart. This proposed rule
will also add several regattas and marine parades not previously listed
in 33 CFR part 100 and remove several events that no longer occur
annually or are not regattas or marine parades.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
This proposed rule is intended to ensure safety of life on the
navigable waters immediately prior to, during, and immediately after
regattas or marine parades. This proposed rule will establish
restrictions upon and control the movement of vessels through a
specified area immediately prior to, during, and immediately after
regattas or marine parades.
The Captain of the Port Detroit will cause notice of enforcement of
the special local regulations established by this section to be made by
all appropriate means to the affected segments of the public. Such
means of notification will include, but is not limited to, Broadcast
Notice to Mariners and Local Notice to Mariners. The Captain of the
Port Detroit will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners notifying the
public when enforcement of the special local regulations is terminated.
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposed rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.
The Coast Guard's use of these special local regulations will be
periodic in nature, of short duration, and designed to minimize the
impact on navigable waters. These special local regulations will only
be enforced immediately before and during the time the marine events
are occurring. Furthermore, these special local regulations have been
designed to allow vessels to transit unrestricted to portions of the
waterways not affected by the special local regulations. The Coast
Guard expects insignificant adverse impact to mariners from the
activation of these special local regulations.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: The owners of operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in the areas designated as special local
regulations in paragraphs (4) through (13) during the dates and times
the special local regulations are being enforced.
These special local regulations would not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities for the
following reasons. The special local regulations in this proposed rule
would be in effect for short periods of time, and only once per year.
The special local regulations have been designed to allow traffic to
pass safely around the zone whenever possible and vessels will be
allowed to pass through the zones with the permission of the Captain of
the Port.
If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed rule
would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment
(see
[[Page 22305]]
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this proposed rule would economically affect it.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the
proposed rule would affect your small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its
provisions or options for compliance, please contact LT Jeff Ahlgren,
Waterways Management, U.S. Coast Guard Sector Detroit, 110 Mount Elliot
Ave., Detroit, MI 48207; (313) 568-9580. The Coast Guard will not
retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.
Collection of Information
This proposed rule calls for no new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
Federalism
A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this proposed rule will not result in such
expenditure, we nevertheless discuss its effects elsewhere in this
preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule will not affect the taking of private property
or otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This proposed rule is not an economically significant rule and
does not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that
may disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
The Coast Guard recognizes the treaty rights of Native American
Tribes. Moreover, the Coast Guard is committed to working with Tribal
Governments to implement local policies and to mitigate tribal
concerns. We have determined that these safety zones and fishing rights
protection need not be incompatible. We have also determined that this
proposed rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Nevertheless, Indian
Tribes that have questions concerning the provisions of this proposed
rule or options for compliance are encouraged to contact the point of
contact listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this proposed rule under Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is not likely to
have a significant effect on the human environment. A preliminary
``Environmental Analysis Check List'' supporting this preliminary
determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.
