ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

regulations.
AGENCY:
Elsewhere in this issue of the
Federal Register, the IRS is issuing an
amendment to temporary regulations
published July 19, 2010, under the
provisions of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care
Act) relating to coverage of preventive

temporary regulations at the same time
that the Employee Benefits Security
Administration of the U.S. Department
of Labor and the Center for Consumer
Information & Insurance Oversight of
the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services are issuing a
substantially similar amendment to
interim final regulations published July
19, 2010 with respect to group health
plans and health insurance coverage
offered in connection with a group
health plan under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
and the Public Health Service Act. The
temporary regulations provide guidance
to employers, group health plans, and
health insurance issuers providing
group health insurance coverage. The
text of those temporary regulations also
serves as the text of these proposed
regulations.
DATES: Written or electronic comments
and requests for a public hearing must

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Explanation of
Provisions
The temporary regulations published
elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register amend § 54.9815–2713T of the
Miscellaneous Excise Tax Regulations.
The proposed and temporary
regulations are being published as part
of a joint rulemaking with the
Department of Labor and the
Department of Health and Human
Services (the joint rulemaking). The text
of those temporary regulations also
serves as the text of these proposed
regulations. The preamble to the
temporary regulations explains the
temporary regulations and these
proposed regulations.

Special Analyses
It has been determined that this notice
of proposed rulemaking is not a
significant regulatory action as defined
in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a
regulatory assessment is not required. It
has also been determined that section
553(b) of the Administrative Procedure
Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply
to these regulations, and because the
regulation does not impose a collection
of information requirement on small
entities, the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not apply.
Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the
Internal Revenue Code, this regulation
has been submitted to the Chief Counsel
for Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration for comment on its
impact on small business.
Comments and Requests for a Public
Hearing
Before these proposed regulations are
adopted as final regulations,
consideration will be given to any
VerDate Mar<15>2010

written comments (a signed original and
eight (8) copies) or electronic comments
that are submitted timely to the IRS.
Comments are specifically requested on
the clarity of the proposed regulations
and how they may be made easier to
understand. All comments will be
available for public inspection and
copying. A public hearing may be
scheduled if requested in writing by a
person that timely submits written
comments. If a public hearing is
scheduled, notice of the date, time, and
place for the hearing will be published
in the Federal Register.
Drafting Information
The principal author of these
proposed regulations is Karen Levin,
Office of the Division Counsel/Associate
Chief Counsel (Tax Exempt and
Government Entities), IRS. The
proposed regulations, as well as the
temporary regulations, have been
developed in coordination with
personnel from the U.S. Department of
Labor and the U.S. Department of

Tris carbamoyl triazine; Proposed
Modification of Significant New Uses
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
Under section 5(a)(2) of the

significant new use rule (SNUR) for the
chemical substance identified

SNUR to allow certain uses without
requiring a significant new use notice
(SNUN), and would extend SNUN
requirements to certain additional uses.
EPA is proposing this amendment based
on review of new toxicity test data.
DATES: Comments must be received on

identified by docket identification (ID)
