pearlescent pigments prepared from
titanium dioxide and mica as color

not less than 18 percent and not more
than 23 percent alcohol by volume but
not including distilled spirits mixtures
containing more than 5 percent wine on
a proof gallon basis.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Federal Register of June 12, 2013 (78 FR

titanium dioxide and mica as color
additives in distilled spirits containing

We gave interested persons until July

for a hearing. We received no objections
or requests for a hearing on the final
rule. Therefore, we find that the

This document contains final
regulations that remove any reference

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
Section 939A(a) of the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act, Public Law 111–203
(124 Stat. 1376 (2010)) (the ‘‘Dodd-
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Frank Act’’), requires each Federal
agency to review its regulations that
require the use of an assessment of
credit-worthiness of a security or money
market instrument, and to review any
references or requirements in its
regulations regarding credit ratings.
Section 939A(b) directs each agency to
modify any regulation identified in the
review required under section 939A(a)
by removing any reference to, or
requirement of reliance on, credit
ratings and substituting a standard of
credit-worthiness that the agency deems
appropriate. Numerous provisions
under the Internal Revenue Code (Code)
are affected.
These regulations amend the Income
Tax Regulations (26 CFR part 1) under
sections 150, 171, 197, 249, 475, 860G,
and 1001 of the Code (the existing
regulations). These sections were added
to the Code during different years to
serve different purposes. These
regulations also amend the
Manufacturers and Retailers Excise Tax
Regulations (26 CFR part 48) under
section 4101, which provides
registration requirements related to
Federal fuel taxes.
On July 6, 2011, temporary
regulations (TD 9533) under sections
150, 171, 197, 249, 475, 860G, and 1001
of the Code were published in the
Federal Register (76 FR 39278) that
modify or eliminate the reference to
credit ratings in the relevant regulations.
Additional temporary regulations (26
CFR part 48) under section 4101 were
published as part of TD 9533. A notice
of proposed rulemaking (REG–118809–
11) cross-referencing the temporary
regulations was published in the
Federal Register the same day (76 FR
39341). No written comments
responding to the notice of proposed
rulemaking were received. No public
hearing was requested or held. The
regulations are adopted as proposed
without substantive changes.
Explanation of Provisions
These regulations remove references
to ‘‘credit ratings’’ and ‘‘credit agencies’’
or functionally similar terms in the
existing regulations. Some changes
involve simple word deletions or
substitutions. Others reflect the revision
of one or more sentences to remove the
credit rating references. Where
appropriate, substitute standards of
credit-worthiness replace the prior
references to credit ratings, credit
agencies, or functionally similar terms.
Language revisions serve solely to
remove the references prohibited by
section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act and
no additional changes to the existing
regulations are intended.
