(a) The requirements of 24 CFR part 85 are applicable to this part, subject to paragraph (b) of this section, in connection with the PHA’s public housing program. (b) A PHA may use competitive proposal procedures for qualificationsbased procurement (Request for Qualifications), or may solicit a proposal from only one source (‘‘sole source’’) to select a joint venture partner to perform an administrative or management function of its public housing program or to provide, or arrange to provide, supportive or social services covered under this part, under the following circumstances: (1) The proposed joint venture partner has under its control and will make available to the partnership substantial, unique, and tangible resources or other benefits that would not otherwise be available to the PHA on the open market (e.g., planning expertise, program experience, or financial or other resources). In this case, the PHA must maintain documentation to substantiate both the cost reasonableness of its selection of the proposed partner and the unique qualifications of the partner; or (2) A resident group or a PHA subsidiary is willing and able to act as the PHA’s partner in performing administrative and management functions or to provide supportive or social services. This entity must comply with the requirements of 24 CFR part 84 (if the entity is a nonprofit) or 24 CFR part 85 (if the entity is a state or local government) with respect to its selection of the members of the team, and the members must be paid on a costreimbursement basis only.

(a) General. A joint venture partner is not a grantee or subgrantee and, accordingly, is not required to comply with 24 CFR part 84 or 24 CFR part 85 in its procurement of goods and services under this part. The partner must comply with all applicable state and local procurement and conflict of interest requirements with respect to its selection of entities to assist in PHA program administration. (b) Exception. If the joint venture partner is a subsidiary, affiliate, instrumentality, or identity of interest party of the PHA, it is subject to the requirements of 24 CFR part 85. HUD may, on a case-by-case basis, exempt such a joint venture partner from the need to comply with requirements under 24 CFR part 85 if HUD determines that the joint venture has developed an acceptable alternative procurement plan. (c) Contracting with identity-ofinterest parties. A joint venture partner may contract with an identity-of-interest party for goods or services, or a party specified in the selected bidder’s response to a Request for Proposal or Request for Qualifications (as applicable), without the need for further procurement if: (1) The PHA can demonstrate that its original competitive selection of the partner clearly anticipated the later provision of such goods or services; (2) Compensation of all identity-ofinterest parties is structured to ensure there is no duplication of profit or expenses; and (3) The PHA can demonstrate that its selection is reasonable based upon prevailing market costs and standards, and that the quality and timeliness of the goods or services is comparable to that available in the open market. For purposes of this paragraph (c), an ‘‘identity-of-interest party’’ means a party that is wholly owned or controlled by, or that is otherwise affiliated with, the partner or the PHA. The PHA may use an independent organization experienced in cost valuation to determine the cost reasonableness of the proposed contracts. § 943.413 Procurement standards for a joint venture. (a) When the joint venture as a whole is controlled by the PHA or an identityof-interest party of the PHA, the joint venture is subject to the requirements of 24 CFR part 85.

ACTION: Partial withdrawal of notice of proposed rulemaking. AGENCY: This document withdraws part of a notice of proposed rulemaking that specifically relates to rollovers from individual retirement arrangements (IRAs). The partial withdrawal of the proposed regulation will affect individuals who maintain IRAs and financial institutions that are trustees, custodians, or issuers of IRAs. DATES: As of July 11, 2014, the proposed amendment to § 1.408–4(b)(4)(ii), published Tuesday, July 14, 1981 (46 FR 36198), is withdrawn. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vernon S. Carter at (202) 317–6700 (not a toll-free number). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background Section 408(d) governs distributions from IRAs. Generally, section 408(d)(1) provides that any amount distributed from an IRA is includible in gross income by the payee or distributee. Section 408(d)(3)(A)(i) allows a payee or distributee of an IRA distribution to exclude from gross income any amount paid or distributed from an IRA that is subsequently paid into an IRA not later than the 60th day after the day on which the payee or distributee receives the distribution. Section 408(d)(3)(A)(i) and (d)(3)(D)(i). Section 408(d)(3)(B) provides that an individual is permitted to make only one nontaxable rollover described in section 408(d)(3)(A)(i) in any 1-year period. On July 14, 1981, the Federal Register published proposed regulations (46 FR E:\FR\FM\11JYP1.SGM 11JYP1 sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS 40032 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 133 / Friday, July 11, 2014 / Proposed Rules 36198) that would have amended § 1.408–4 of the Income Tax Regulations by adding a new paragraph (b)(4)(ii). Those proposed regulations provide that the rollover limitation of section 408(d)(3)(B) is applied on an IRA-byIRA basis. This rule is reflected in IRS Publication 590, Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs). However, section 408(d)(3)(B) provides that the exclusion from gross income for IRA rollovers pursuant to subparagraph (A)(i) does not apply ‘‘if at any time during the 1-year period ending on the day of such receipt such individual received any other amount described in that subparagraph from an individual retirement account or an individual retirement annuity which was not includible in his gross income because of the application of this paragraph.’’ Based on the language in section 408(d)(3)(B), a recent Tax Court opinion, Bobrow v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2014–21, held that the limitation applies on an aggregate basis. Thus, under Bobrow, an individual cannot make an IRA-to-IRA rollover if the individual has made an IRA-to-IRA rollover involving any of the individual’s IRAs in the preceding 1-year period. The IRS intends to follow the opinion in Bobrow and, accordingly, is withdrawing paragraph (b)(4)(ii) of § 1.408–4 of the proposed regulations and will revise Publication 590. This interpretation of the rollover rules under section 408(d)(1)(B) does not affect the ability of an IRA owner to transfer funds from one IRA trustee or custodian directly to another, because such a transfer is not a rollover and, therefore, is not subject to the one-rollover-peryear limitation of section 408(d)(3)(B). See Rev. Rul. 78–406, 1978–2 C.B. 157. In response to comments expressing concern over implementation of the rollover limitation as interpreted in Bobrow, the IRS released Announcement 2014–15, 2014–16 I.R.B. 973, on March 20, 2014. Announcement 2014–15 addresses the application to Individual Retirement Accounts and Individual Retirement Annuities of the one-rollover-per-year limitation of section 408(d)(3)(B) and provides transition relief for owners. Consistent with that Announcement, the IRS will not apply the Bobrow interpretation of section 408(d)(3)(B) to any rollover that involves a distribution occurring before January 1, 2015.

rulemaking that specifically relates to rollovers from individual 
retirement arrangements (IRAs). The partial withdrawal of the proposed 
regulation will affect individuals who maintain IRAs and financial 
institutions that are trustees, custodians, or issuers of IRAs.

DATES: As of July 11, 2014, the proposed amendment to Sec.  1.408-
4(b)(4)(ii), published Tuesday, July 14, 1981 (46 FR 36198), is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Section 408(d) governs distributions from IRAs. Generally, section 
408(d)(1) provides that any amount distributed from an IRA is 
includible in gross income by the payee or distributee. Section 
408(d)(3)(A)(i) allows a payee or distributee of an IRA distribution to 
exclude from gross income any amount paid or distributed from an IRA 
that is subsequently paid into an IRA not later than the 60th day after 
the day on which the payee or distributee receives the distribution. 
Section 408(d)(3)(A)(i) and (d)(3)(D)(i). Section 408(d)(3)(B) provides 
that an individual is permitted to make only one nontaxable rollover 
described in section 408(d)(3)(A)(i) in any 1-year period.
    On July 14, 1981, the Federal Register published proposed 
regulations (46 FR

[[Page 40032]]

36198) that would have amended Sec.  1.408-4 of the Income Tax 
Regulations by adding a new paragraph (b)(4)(ii). Those proposed 
regulations provide that the rollover limitation of section 
408(d)(3)(B) is applied on an IRA-by-IRA basis. This rule is reflected 
in IRS Publication 590, Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs). 
However, section 408(d)(3)(B) provides that the exclusion from gross 
income for IRA rollovers pursuant to subparagraph (A)(i) does not apply 
``if at any time during the 1-year period ending on the day of such 
receipt such individual received any other amount described in that 
subparagraph from an individual retirement account or an individual 
retirement annuity which was not includible in his gross income because 
of the application of this paragraph.''
    Based on the language in section 408(d)(3)(B), a recent Tax Court 
opinion, Bobrow v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2014-21, held that the 
limitation applies on an aggregate basis. Thus, under Bobrow, an 
individual cannot make an IRA-to-IRA rollover if the individual has 
made an IRA-to-IRA rollover involving any of the individual's IRAs in 
the preceding 1-year period. The IRS intends to follow the opinion in 
Bobrow and, accordingly, is withdrawing paragraph (b)(4)(ii) of Sec.  
1.408-4 of the proposed regulations and will revise Publication 590. 
This interpretation of the rollover rules under section 408(d)(1)(B) 
does not affect the ability of an IRA owner to transfer funds from one 
IRA trustee or custodian directly to another, because such a transfer 
is not a rollover and, therefore, is not subject to the one-rollover-
per-year limitation of section 408(d)(3)(B). See Rev. Rul. 78-406, 
1978-2 C.B. 157.
    In response to comments expressing concern over implementation of 
the rollover limitation as interpreted in Bobrow, the IRS released 
Announcement 2014-15, 2014-16 I.R.B. 973, on March 20, 2014. 
Announcement 2014-15 addresses the application to Individual Retirement 
Accounts and Individual Retirement Annuities of the one-rollover-per-
year limitation of section 408(d)(3)(B) and provides transition relief 
for owners. Consistent with that Announcement, the IRS will not apply 
the Bobrow interpretation of section 408(d)(3)(B) to any rollover that 
involves a distribution occurring before January 1, 2015.
