SUMMARY: This document contains correcting amendments to the temporary 
regulations (TD 9564), which were published in the Federal Register on

as in effect before TD 9564 as paragraphs (l)(2) and (l)(3) for the 
general asset account regulations as amended by TD 9564. These

asset account election.
