SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Explanation of Provisions

    Temporary regulations in the Rules and Regulations section of this 
issue of the Federal Register amend the Income Tax Regulations (26 CFR 
part 1) relating to section 1092(d). The temporary regulations provide 
that if a taxpayer is the obligor under a debt instrument one or more 
payments on which are linked to the value of personal property or a 
position with respect to personal property, then the taxpayer's 
obligation under the debt instrument is a position with respect to 
personal property and may be part of a straddle. The temporary 
regulations apply to straddles established on or after January 17, 
2001. The text of the temporary regulations also serves as the text of 
these proposed regulations and is identical to the text of regulations 
originally proposed under REG-105801-00.

    It has been determined that this notice of proposed rulemaking is 
not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 
12866, as supplemented by Executive Order 13563. Therefore, a 
regulatory assessment is not required. It also has 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 on small entities, the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not apply.

of proposed rulemaking has been submitted to the Chief Counsel for 
Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on its impact 
on small business.
