    OMB Number: 1545-1269.
    Regulation Project Number: T.D. 8461.
    Abstract: Section 468A outlines rules governing the treatment of a 
qualified nuclear decommissioning fund and contributions to such a 
fund. Section 1.468A-5 (a)(l)(i) of the Income Tax Regulations requires

taxable corporation, the corporate tax could deplete the assets in the 
fund, thereby impairing their ability to achieve the purpose for which 
they were created. In addition, the classification of a fund will 
impact on the schedule of ruling amounts approved by the Service under 
section 468A.

    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.

    Estimated Time per Respondent: 3 hours.

to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of
