[[Page 24076]]

    Abstract: The information in Sec.  1.1502-35T(c) is necessary to 
ensure that a consolidated group does not obtain more than one tax 
benefit from both the utilization of a loss from the disposition of 
stock and the utilization of a loss or deduction with respect to 
another asset that reflects the same economic loss; to allow the 
taxpayer to make an election under Sec.  1.1502-35T(c)(5) that would 
benefit the taxpayer; the election in Sec.  1.1502-35T(f) provides 
taxpayers the choice in the case of a worthless subsidiary to utilize a 
worthless stock deduction or absorb the subsidiary's losses; and Sec.  
1.1502-35T(g)(3) applies to ensure that taxpayers do not circumvent the 
loss suspension rule of Sec.  1.1502-35T(c) by deconsolidating a 
subsidiary and then re-importing to the group losses of such 
subsidiary.
    Current Actions: There is no change to these existing regulations.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 7,500.

    The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of

relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as 
their contents may become material in the administration of any 
internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information 
are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
    Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice 
will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All
