of this Example 5, the unduplicated built-in
gain with respect to the S share is $100.
(2) Redetermined NUBIG or NUBIL of the
P group. For the reasons set forth in
paragraph (i)(C)(2) of this Example 5, the P
group’s NUBIG is redetermined to be $90.
Immediately before P takes into account the
$100 gain on the sale of its share of S stock,
the P group’s $10 NUBIL is redetermined to
be a $90 NUBIG, the sum of S’s NUBIL of $10
and P’s NUBIG of $100.
(D) Effect of redetermination. Of the $105
gain P recognized on the sale of the S share,
$90 is recognized built-in gain and therefore,
under section 382(h)(2)(A), the group’s
section 382 limitation is increased by $90.
The redetermination of P’s original $10
NUBIL to a $100 NUBIG in Year 4 has no
effect on the treatment of the Year 2
recognized built-in loss from the sale of
Truck 1.
(h) * * *
(2) Disposition of stock or an
intercompany obligation of a member.
Built-in gain or loss recognized by a
member on the disposition of stock
(including stock described in section
1504(a)(4) and § 1.382–2T(f)(18)(ii) and
(f)(18)(iii)) of another member is treated
as a recognized gain or loss for purposes
of section 382(h)(2) (unless disallowed)
without regard to the extent to which
such gain or loss was included in the
determination of a net unrealized builtin gain or loss under paragraph (g) of
this section. Built-in gain or loss
recognized by a member with respect to
an intercompany obligation is treated as
recognized gain or loss only to the
extent (if any) that the transaction gives
rise to aggregate income or loss within
the consolidated group.

(k) Effective/Applicability date.
Paragraphs (g)(1), (g)(7), (g)(8), (h)(2) and
(h)(4) of this section apply to amounts
taken into account with respect to a
share of stock of an included subsidiary
on or after the date that final regulations
are published in the Federal Register,
but only with respect to ownership
changes occurring on or after October
24, 2011. For amounts taken into
account with respect to a share of stock
of an included subsidiary not described
in the preceding sentence, see

a 2-ounce letter instead of the current
1-ounce minimum postage charge.
We also remove standards for Reply

on December 31, 2011.
Sfmt 4702
The Postal Service proposes to modify
the process of submitting mailpieces to
the Pricing and Classification Service
Center (PCSC) for testing and to delete
the provision that pieces with attached
release cards be sent to Engineering.
Standard Mail Nonmachinable Letters
The USPS proposes to clarify that
overflow Standard Mail®
nonmachinable letters that mailers place
into existing trays at another level
would require matching documentation.
Proposed Changes for Flats
Automation Flats
The USPS proposes to clarify 301.3.0
to add that automation flats must meet
the standards for all flats in 301.1.0 as
well as the standards in 301.3.0.
Periodicals Flats
Currently, Periodicals flats are
allowed on mixed area distribution
center (MADC) pallets only when the
flats are sacked. This proposed rule
would allow bundles of Periodicals flats
to be placed directly on MADC pallets
and would assign a specific price for
MADC pallets as well.
We propose to revise a price
categorization under nonmachinable
flats to insert the correct categorization
of nonmachinable flats-nonbarcoded.
Detached Address Labels Used With
Flats
The Postal Service proposes to add a
new term to identify detached address
labels (DALs) with advertising.
Inclusion of advertising turns DALs into
dual purpose pieces—optional
addressing vehicles and marketing
vehicles. A DAL with advertising on
either side would be a type of DAL
named as a detached marketing label
(DML). Both DALs and DMLs could be
used with saturation flats or with
Standard Mail Marketing parcels.
Proposed Changes for Parcels
Machinable Parcels
To align the standards for machinable
parcels with current mail processing
equipment capability, the Postal Service
proposes to change the dimensional
criteria for all machinable parcels from
the current 34 inches x 17 inches x 17
inches to 27 inches x 17 inches x 17
