Transfers by Domestic Corporations That Are Subject to Section 
367(a)(5); Distributions by Domestic Corporations That Are Subject to 
Section 1248(f); Correction

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Correction to notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to a notice of proposed 
rulemaking (REG-209006-89) that was published in the Federal Register 
on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 (73 FR 49278) under sections 367(a), 
367(a)(5), 367(b), 1248(a), 1248(e), 1248(f), and 6038B of the Internal 
Revenue Code. The proposed regulations under sections 367(a)(5) and 
367(b) apply when a domestic corporation transfers certain property to 
a foreign corporation in an exchange described in section 361(a) or 
(b). The proposed regulations under section 1248(e) suspend the 
application of section 1248(e) when capital gains are taxed at a rate 
equal to or greater than the rate at which ordinary income is taxed. 
The proposed regulations under section 1248(f) apply when a domestic 
corporation distributes stock of certain foreign corporations in a 
distribution to which section 337, 355, or 361 applies. The proposed

[[Page 56536]]

regulations under section 1248(f) include regulations described in 
Notice 87-64 (1987-2 CB 375). The proposed regulations under section 
6038B establish reporting requirements for certain transfers of 
property by a domestic corporation to a foreign corporation in certain 
exchanges described in section 361(a) or (b). Finally, the proposed 
regulations under section 367(a) include the regulations described in 
Notice 2008-10 (2008-3 IRB 277).
    The proposed regulations included in this document affect domestic 
corporations that transfer property to foreign corporations in certain 
transactions, or that distribute the stock of certain foreign 
corporations, and certain shareholders of such domestic corporations. 
The proposed regulations are necessary, in part, to provide guidance on 
changes to the law made by the Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act 
of 1988 (Pub. L. 100-647, 102 Stat. 3342).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The correction notice that is the subject of this document is under 
sections 367, 1248, and 6038 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Need for Correction

    As published, the notice of proposed rulemaking (REG-209006-89) 
contains errors that may prove to be misleading and are in need of 
clarification.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of the notice of proposed rulemaking 
(REG-209006-89), which was the subject of FR Doc. E8-18885, is 
corrected as follows:
    1. On page 49282, column 1, in the preamble, under the paragraph 
heading ``(iii) Adjustments To Basis of Stock Received by Control Group 
Members'', second paragraph of the column, lines 17 through 28, the 
language ``preamble)) exceeds the built-in gain in such stock (outside 
gain). The outside gain is the amount by which the fair market value of 
such stock exceeds the section 358 basis of the stock (as determined 
before any required adjustment to such basis under the proposed 
regulations). The proposed regulations provide special rules that apply 
if the control group member holds more than one block of stock received 
in the transaction.'' is corrected to read ``preamble)) exceeds the 
built-in gain (or loss) in such stock, defined as outside gain (or 
loss) in the proposed regulations. The outside gain (or loss) is the 
amount by which the fair market value of such stock is greater than (or 
less than) the section 358 basis of the stock (as determined before any 
required adjustment to such basis under the proposed regulations). The 
proposed regulations provide special rules that apply if the control 
group member holds more than one block of stock received in the 
transaction. Comments are requested concerning whether, and the extent 
to which, an outside loss should limit the reduction to a control group 
member's section 358 basis in the stock received that is attributable 
to section 367(a) property. Consistent with the legislative history, 
the IRS and Treasury Department believe the basis reduction must be 
sufficient to preserve the control group member's share of inside gain 
(to the extent not otherwise recognized by the U.S. transferor) in the 
stock received that is attributable to section 367(a) property. The IRS 
and Treasury Department believe this rule to be appropriate even if a 
control group member has an outside loss, in part because a basis 
reduction is required only if an election is made to apply the 
exception from the general rule of section 367(a)(5) provided by the 
proposed regulations.''.

    3. On page 49293, column 2, Sec.  1.367(a)-7(f)(7), line 1, the 
language ``Outside gain is the product of the'' is corrected to read 
``Outside gain (or loss) is the product of the''.

must be reduced by $25x, the amount by which DP1's share of inside gain 
($45x) exceeds DP1's $20x outside gain. DP1's share of inside gain is 
determined based on its 50% ownership interest (by value) in DC at the 
time of the section 361 exchange. Because DC does not recognize gain on 
the section 361 exchange with respect to DP1, DP1's share of inside 
gain is not reduced under paragraph (c)(3)(i)(A) of this section. DP1's 
$20x outside gain equals the product of the section 367(a) percentage 
(100%) and the amount by which the fair market value ($100x) of the FA 
stock received by DP1 in exchange for its DC stock exceeds the section 
358 basis of such FA stock ($80x). As adjusted, DP1's basis in its FA 
stock is $55x. Similarly, under paragraph (c)(3) of this section, DP2's 
section 358 basis in the FA stock ($50x) received in exchange for its 
DC stock must be reduced by $17x, the amount by which DP2's share of 
inside gain ($27x) exceeds DP1's $10x outside gain. DP2's share of 
inside gain is determined based on its 30% ownership interest (by 
value) in DC at the time of the section 361 exchange. Because DC does 
not recognize gain on the section 361 exchange with respect to DP2, 
DP2's share of inside gain is not reduced under paragraph (c)(3)(i)(A) 
of this section. DP2's $10x outside gain equals the product of the 
section 367(a) percentage (100%) and the amount by which the fair 
market value ($60x) of the FA stock received by DP2 in exchange for its 
DC stock exceeds the section 358 basis of such stock ($50x). As 
adjusted, DP2's basis in its FA stock is $33x.'' is corrected to read 
``Under paragraph (c)(3) of this section, DP1's section 358 basis in 
the FA stock ($120x) received in exchange for its DC stock must be 
reduced by $65x, the amount by which DP1's share of inside gain ($45x) 
exceeds DP1's $20x outside loss. DP1's share of inside gain is 
determined based on its 50% ownership interest (by value) in DC at the 
time of the section 361 exchange. Because DC does not recognize gain on 
the section 361 exchange with respect to DP1, DP1's share of inside 
gain is not reduced under paragraph (c)(3)(i)(A) of this section. DP1's 
$20x outside loss equals the product of the section 367(a) percentage 
(100%) and the amount by which the fair market value ($100x) of the FA 
stock received by DP1 in exchange for its DC stock is less than the 
section 358 basis of such FA stock ($120x). As adjusted, DP1's basis in 
its FA stock is $55x. Similarly, under paragraph (c)(3) of this

this section. DP2's $10x outside gain equals the product of the section 
367(a) percentage (100%) and the amount by which the fair market value
