is the use of the remedial allocation
method by related partners in which
allocations of remedial items of income,
gain, loss or deduction are made to one
partner and the allocations of offsetting
remedial items are made to a related
partner.

*
*
(10) Anti-abuse rule—(i) In general.
An allocation method (or combination
of methods) is not reasonable if the
contribution of property (or event that
results in reverse section 704(c)
allocations) and the corresponding
allocation of tax items with respect to
the property are made with a view to
shifting the tax consequences of built-in
gain or loss among the partners in a
manner that substantially reduces the
present value of the partners’ aggregate
tax liability. For purposes of this
paragraph (a)(10), all references to the
partners shall include both direct and
indirect partners.
(ii) Definition of indirect partner. An
indirect partner is any direct or indirect
owner of a partnership, S corporation,
or controlled foreign corporation (as
defined in section 957(a) or 953(c)), or
direct or indirect beneficiary of a trust
or estate, that is a partner in the
partnership, and any consolidated group
of which the partner in the partnership
is a member (within the meaning of
§ 1.1502–1(h)). An owner (whether
directly or through tiers of entities) of a
controlled foreign corporation is treated
as an indirect partner only with respect
to allocations of items of income, gain,
loss, or deduction that enter into the
computation of a United States
shareholder’s inclusion under section
951(a) with respect to the controlled
foreign corporation, enter into any
person’s income attributable to a United
States shareholder’s inclusion under
section 951(a) with respect to the
controlled foreign corporation, or would
enter into the computations described in
this sentence if such items were
allocated to the controlled foreign
corporation.

(f) Effective/Applicability Dates. With
the exception of paragraphs (a)(1),
(a)(8)(ii), (a)(8)(iii), (a)(10), and (a)(11) of
this section, this section applies to
properties contributed to a partnership
and to restatements pursuant to § 1.704–
1(b)(2)(iv)(f) on or after December 21,
1993. * * * Paragraphs (a)(1) and
(a)(10) of this section are applicable for
taxable years beginning after June 9,
2010.

Detroit River during the Hydroplane
Exhibition. This special local regulation
is necessary to protect spectators and
vessels from the hazards associated with
powerboat races.

Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment
pursuant to authority under section 4(a)
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because the
permit application for the Hydroplane
Exhibition event was not received by
the Coast Guard in time to publish an
NPRM followed by a final rule before
the effective date. Delaying this rule
would be contrary to the public interest
of ensuring the safety of vessels during
the race, and immediate action is
necessary to prevent possible loss of life
and property. The Coast Guard has not
received any complaints or negative
comments previously with regard to
events of this type and duration.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying this rule would be
contrary to the public interest of
ensuring the safety of vessels during the
construction, and immediate action is
necessary to prevent possible loss of life
and property. The Coast Guard has not
received any complaints or negative
comments previously with regard to
events of this type and duration.
Background and Purpose
This temporary special local
regulation is necessary to ensure the
safety of vessels and spectators from
hazards associated with a powerboat
race. The Captain of the Port Detroit has
determined that powerboat races in
close proximity to watercraft and
waterfront structures pose a significant
risk to public safety and property. The
likely combination of large numbers of
recreational vessels, powerboats
traveling at high speeds, and large
numbers of spectators in close
proximity to powerboats on the water
pose a significant risk of serious injuries
or fatalities. Establishing a special local
regulation around the location of the
race course will help ensure the safety
of persons and property at these events
and help minimize the associated risks.

Discussion of Rule
This temporary special local
regulation is necessary to ensure the
safety of spectators and vessels during
the Hydroplane Exhibition scheduled to
take place during the Detroit River Days
Festival. The Hydroplane Exhibition
will occur between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on
a daily basis on from June 18, 2010 to
June 20, 2010. This regulation is
effective from 3 p.m. on June 18, 2010,
to 5 p.m. on June 20, 2010 and will be
enforced daily between 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
during the effective period.
The area of the special local
regulation will encompass all waters of
the Detroit River, between Detroit, MI
and Belle Isle, within an area bound on
the east by a by a point on land at
position 42°20.1′ N; 083°1.1′ W
extending to the international border
located at position 42°19.9′ N;
083°1.0′ W and a line running along the
international border to position
42°19.5′ N; 083°2.2′ W and to a point on
land at position 42°19.7′ N; 083°2.4′ W.
All geographic coordinates are North
American Datum of 1983 [NAD 83].
All persons and vessels shall comply
with the instructions of the Captain of
the Port Sector Detroit or designated on
scene patrol personnel. Entry into,
transiting, or anchoring within the
special local regulation area is
prohibited unless authorized by the
Captain of the Port Detroit or his
designated on scene representative. The
Captain of the Port or his designated on
scene representative may be contacted
via VHF Channel 16.

Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or
executive orders.
Regulatory Planning and Review
This 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. It is not ‘‘significant’’ under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS).
We expect the economic impact of
this rule to be so minimal that a full
Regulatory Evaluation under the
regulatory policies and procedures of
DHS is unnecessary.
This determination is based on the
minimal time that vessels will be

restricted from the area of the special
local regulation.
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520).
Small Entities
Federalism
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered
whether this 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 rule will not have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
This rule will affect the following
entities, some of which might be small
entities: The owners and operators of
vessels intending to transit or anchor in
a portion of the Detroit River near
Detroit, MI between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
from June 18, 2010 to June 20, 2010.
This special local regulation will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
for the following reasons: This rule will
only be in effect for 2 hours a day
during the effective dates that this rule
will be enforced. The Coast Guard will
give notice to the public via a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners that the regulation is
in effect.
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 rule under that Order and have
determined that it does not have
implications for federalism.
Assistance for Small Entities
Civil Justice Reform
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we offer to assist small entities in
understanding the rule so that they can
better evaluate its effects on them and
participate in the rulemaking process.
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees
who enforce, or otherwise determine
compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture
Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman
and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 1–
888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The
Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain
about this rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

This rule calls for no new collection
of information under the Paperwork

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 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
This 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 rule under
Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks. This 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
This 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.

Energy Effects
List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 100
We have analyzed this 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.

CFR Part 100 as follows:
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 rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.

Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have concluded that this action is one
of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically
excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph
(34)(h) of the Instruction, because it
involves the establishment of a special
local regulation for a marine event in
which an environmental analysis was
conducted as part of the permit process
for the marine event. An environmental

exclusion determination are available in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because the permit application for the
Hydroplane Exhibition event was not received by the Coast Guard in time
to publish an NPRM followed by a final rule before the effective date.
Delaying this rule would be contrary to the public interest of ensuring
the safety of vessels during the race, and immediate action is
necessary to prevent possible loss of life and property. The Coast
Guard has not received any complaints or negative comments previously
with regard to events of this type and duration.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying this rule would be
contrary to the public interest of ensuring the safety of vessels
during the construction, and immediate action is necessary to prevent
possible loss of life and property. The Coast Guard has not received
any complaints or negative comments previously with regard to events of
this type and duration.
Background and Purpose
This temporary special local regulation is necessary to ensure the
safety of vessels and spectators from hazards associated with a
powerboat race. The Captain of the Port Detroit has determined that
powerboat races in close proximity to watercraft and waterfront
structures pose a significant risk to public safety and property. The
likely combination of large numbers of recreational vessels, powerboats
traveling at high speeds, and large numbers of spectators in close

injuries or fatalities. Establishing a special local regulation around
the location of the race course will help ensure the safety of persons
and property at these events and help minimize the associated risks.

This temporary special local regulation is necessary to ensure the
safety of spectators and vessels during the Hydroplane Exhibition
scheduled to take place during the Detroit River Days Festival. The
Hydroplane Exhibition will occur between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on a daily
basis on from June 18, 2010 to June 20, 2010. This regulation is
effective from 3 p.m. on June 18, 2010, to 5 p.m. on June 20, 2010 and
will be enforced daily between 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. during the effective
period.
The area of the special local regulation will encompass all waters
of the Detroit River, between Detroit, MI and Belle Isle, within an
area bound on the east by a by a point on land at position 42[deg]20.1'
N; 083[deg]1.1' W extending to the international border located at

a point on land at position 42[deg]19.7' N; 083[deg]2.4' W. All
geographic coordinates are North American Datum of 1983 [NAD 83].
All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the
Captain of the Port Sector Detroit or designated on scene patrol
personnel. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the special
local regulation area is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of
the Port Detroit or his designated on scene representative. The Captain
of the Port or his designated on scene representative may be contacted
via VHF Channel 16.
Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.
Regulatory Planning and Review
This 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. It is not ``significant'' under the
regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS).
We expect the economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a
full Regulatory Evaluation under the regulatory policies and procedures
of DHS is unnecessary.
This determination is based on the minimal time that vessels will
be restricted from the area of the special local regulation.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this 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 rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
This rule will affect the following entities, some of which might
be small entities: The owners and operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in a portion of the Detroit River near Detroit, MI
between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. from June 18, 2010 to June 20, 2010.
This special local regulation will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities for the following
reasons: This rule will only be in effect for 2 hours a day during the
effective dates that this rule will be enforced. The Coast Guard will
give notice to the public via a Broadcast Notice to Mariners that the
regulation is in effect.
Assistance for Small Entities
Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.
Collection of Information
This 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 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 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in
this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a 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 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 rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This 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
This 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.
[[Page 32663]]
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this 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 rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (34)(h) of the Instruction, because it involves the
establishment of a special local regulation for a marine event in which
an environmental analysis was conducted as part of the permit process
for the marine event. An environmental analysis checklist and a
categorical exclusion determination are available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES.
