Exemption of Foreign Air Carriers
From Excise Taxes; Review of Finding
of Reciprocity (Ecuador), 26 U.S.C.
4221
AGENCY: International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Solicitation of public comments
concerning a review of the existing
exemption for aircraft registered in
Ecuador from certain internal revenue
taxes on the purchase of supplies in the
United States for such aircraft in
connection with their international
commercial operations.
Notice is hereby given that
the Department of Commerce is
conducting a review to determine,
pursuant to Section 4221 of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended (26 U.S.C.
4221), whether the Government of
Ecuador has discontinued allowing
substantially reciprocal tax exemptions
to aircraft of U.S. registry in connection
with international commercial
operations similar to those exemptions
currently granted to aircraft of
Ecuadorian registry by the United States
under the aforementioned statute.
The above-cited statute provides
exemptions for aircraft of foreign
registry from payment of certain internal
revenue taxes on the purchase of
supplies in the United States for such
aircraft in connection with their
international commercial operations.
These exemptions apply upon a finding
by the Secretary of Commerce, or his
designee, and communicated to the
Department of the Treasury, that such
country allows, or will allow,
‘‘substantially reciprocal privileges’’ to
aircraft of U.S. registry with respect to
purchases of such supplies in that
country. If a foreign country
discontinues the allowance of such
substantially reciprocal exemption, the
exemption allowed by the United States
will not apply after the Secretary of the
Treasury is notified by the Secretary of
Commerce, or his designee, of the
discontinuance.
Interested parties are invited to
submit their views, comments and
supporting documentation in writing
concerning this matter to Mr. Joel
Secundy, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Services, U.S. Department of Commerce,
Washington, DC 20230. Submissions
should be sent electronically to
Airservices@ita.doc.gov. All
submissions should be received no later
than thirty days from the date of this
