AGENCY:
This document contains
proposed regulations that amend the
utility allowance regulations concerning
the low-income housing credit. The
proposed regulations relate to the
circumstances in which utility costs
paid by a tenant based on actual
consumption in a submetered rentrestricted unit are treated as paid by the
tenant directly to the utility company.
The proposed regulations extend those
rules to situations in which a building
owner sells to tenants energy that is
produced from a renewable source and
that is not delivered by a local utility
company. The proposed regulations
affect owners of low-income housing
projects that claim the credit, the
tenants in those low-income housing
projects, and the State and local housing
credit agencies that administer the

section of this issue of the Federal
Register, the IRS is issuing temporary
regulations concerning utility allowance
regulations when the utility is generated
from renewable sources and is not
delivered by the local utility company.
The text of those regulations also serves
as the text of these proposed

Background
Temporary regulations in the Rules
and Regulations section of this issue of
the Federal Register amend 26 CFR part
1. The temporary regulations provide a
special rule for a renewable-source
utility arrangement in which the
building owner does not pay a local
utility company for the utility
consumed by the tenant. The text of
those regulations also serves as the text
of these regulations. The preamble to
the temporary regulations explains the
temporary regulations and these
proposed regulations.
Special Analyses
Certain IRS regulations, including this
one, are exempt from the requirements
of Executive Order 12866, as
supplemented and reaffirmed 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 this regulation, and because the
regulation does not impose a collection
of information on small entities, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:24 Mar 02, 2016
Jkt 238001
chapter 6) does not apply. Pursuant to
section 7805(f) of the Internal Revenue
Code, this notice 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.
Comments and Requests for Public
Hearing
Before these proposed regulations are
adopted as final regulations,
consideration will be given to any
written comments (a signed original and
eight (8) copies) or electronic comments
that are submitted timely to the IRS as
prescribed in this preamble under the
‘‘ADDRESSES’’ heading. The IRS and the
Treasury Department request comments
on all aspects of the proposed
regulations. All comments that are
submitted by the public will be
available for public inspection and
copying at www.regulations.gov or upon
request. A public hearing will be
scheduled if requested in writing by any
person that timely submits comments. If
a public hearing is scheduled, notice of
the date, time, and place for the public
hearing will be published in the Federal
Register.
Drafting Information
The principal author of these
regulations is David Selig, Office of the
Associate Chief Counsel (Passthroughs

other personnel from the IRS and the
Treasury Department participated in
their development.

The Coast Guard proposes to
issue a temporary safety zone on the
waters of the Intracoastal Waterway in
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The
Xterra Swim is scheduled to take place
on Sunday, April 24, 2016. The
temporary safety zone is necessary for
the safety of the swimmers, participant
vessels, spectators, and the general
public during the event. The temporary
safety zone will restrict vessel traffic in
a portion of the Intracoastal Waterway,
preventing non-participant vessels from
entering, transiting through, anchoring
in, or remaining within the regulated
area unless authorized by the Captain of
the Port Charleston or a designated
representative.
