The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface within an 6-mile
radius of Lakota Municipal Airport,
Lakota, ND, to accommodate new
standard instrument approach
procedures. Controlled airspace is
needed for the safety and management
of IFR operations at the airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Section 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and
effective September 15, 2015, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current, is non-controversial and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)
does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated
impact is so minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
(Lat. 48°01′44″ N., long. 098°19′33″ W.)
That airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface within a 6-mile radius
of Lakota Municipal Airport.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
and notice of proposed rulemaking by
cross-reference to temporary
regulations.
In the Rules and Regulations
section of this issue of the Federal
Register, the IRS is issuing temporary
regulations effecting the repeal of the
General Utilities doctrine by the Tax
Reform Act of 1986. The text of those
regulations also serves as part of the text
of these proposed regulations. These
proposed regulations would impose
corporate level tax on certain
transactions in which property of a C
corporation becomes the property of a
REIT. The proposed regulations also
make an amendment not addressed in
the temporary regulations. The
proposed regulations affect RICs, REITs,
C corporations the property of which
becomes the property of a RIC or a REIT,
and their shareholders.
DATES: Comments and requests for a
public hearing must be received by

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 337(d). The temporary
regulations impose corporate level tax
on certain transactions in which
property of a C corporation becomes the
property of a REIT. The text of those
regulations also serves as the text of
these proposed regulations. The
preamble to the temporary regulations
explains the amendments.
The proposed regulations also include
a modification to the definition of
converted property that is not addressed
in the temporary regulations. This
modification treats as converted
property any property the basis of
which is determined, directly or
indirectly, in whole or in part, by
reference to the basis of property owned
by a C corporation that becomes the
property of a RIC or a REIT. The
Treasury Department and the IRS
believe that such property presents
similar concerns with regard to the
purposes of General Utilities repeal as
other property of a C corporation that
becomes the property of a RIC or REIT.

Special Analyses
Certain IRS regulations, including this
one, are exempt from the requirements
of Executive Order 12866, as
supplemented and reaffirmed by
Executive Order 13653. Therefore, a
regulatory impact assessment is not
required. Pursuant to the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6), it is
hereby certified that these proposed
regulations would not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This
certification is based on the fact that
these proposed regulations would
primarily affect large corporations with
a substantial number of shareholders.
Therefore, a regulatory flexibility
analysis is not required. Pursuant to
section 7805(f) of the Code, this
regulation 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
comments that are submitted timely to
the IRS as prescribed in this preamble
under the ADDRESSES heading. The
Treasury Department and the IRS
request comments on all aspects of the
proposed regulations. In particular,
comments are requested regarding the
scope of the terms predecessors and
successors. In addition, although related
section 355 distributions occurring
before or after conversion transactions
involving RICs do not present the same
degree of concern regarding the
purposes of General Utilities repeal,
comments are requested as to whether
the proposed regulations regarding
related section 355 distributions should,
like the rules of § 1.337(d)–7 generally,
apply to both conversion transactions
involving RICs and conversion
transactions involving REITs. All
comments will be available at
www.regulations.gov or upon request. A
public hearing will be scheduled if
requested in writing by any person that
timely submits written comments. If a
public hearing is scheduled, notice of
the date, time, and place of the public
hearing will be published in the Federal
Register.

AGENCY:
The Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is proposing to
amend the Agency’s standards for the
examination of working places in metal
and nonmetal (MNM) mines. The
purpose of this proposed rule is to
ensure that mine operators identify and
correct conditions that may adversely
affect miners’ safety or health. MSHA is
proposing to require that an
examination of the working place be
conducted before miners begin work in
ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
SUMMARY:
an area and that the operator notifies
miners in the working place of any
conditions found that may adversely
affect their safety or health. MSHA is
also proposing that the competent
person conducting the examination sign
and date the examination record before
the end of each shift, that the record
includes information regarding adverse
conditions found and corrective actions
taken, and that operators make such
records available to miners and their
representatives. The proposal would
enhance the quality of working place
examinations in MNM mines and help
assure that violations of mandatory
health or safety standards are identified
and corrected, thereby improving
protections for miners.

SUMMARY: In the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the
Federal Register, the IRS is issuing temporary regulations effecting
the repeal of the General Utilities doctrine by the Tax Reform Act of
1986. The text of those regulations also serves as part of the text of
these proposed regulations. These proposed regulations would impose

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 337(d). The temporary regulations impose
corporate level tax on certain transactions in which property of a C
corporation becomes the property of a REIT. The text of those
regulations also serves as the text of these proposed regulations. The
preamble to the temporary regulations explains the amendments.
The proposed regulations also include a modification to the
definition of converted property that is not addressed in the temporary
regulations. This modification treats as converted property any
property the basis of which is determined, directly or indirectly, in
whole or in part, by reference to the basis of property owned by a C
corporation that becomes the property of a RIC or a REIT. The Treasury
Department and the IRS believe that such property presents similar
concerns with regard to the purposes of General Utilities repeal as
other property of a C corporation that becomes the property of a RIC or
REIT.
Special Analyses
Certain IRS regulations, including this one, are exempt from the
requirements of Executive Order 12866, as supplemented and reaffirmed
by Executive Order 13653. Therefore, a regulatory impact assessment is
not required. Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
chapter 6), it is hereby certified that these proposed regulations
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. This certification is based on the fact that these
proposed regulations would primarily affect large corporations with a
substantial number of shareholders. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility
analysis is not required. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Code, this
regulation 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 comments that are submitted timely
to the IRS as prescribed in this preamble under the ADDRESSES heading.
The Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on all aspects of
the proposed regulations. In particular, comments are requested
regarding the scope of the terms predecessors and successors. In
addition, although related section 355 distributions occurring before
or after conversion transactions involving RICs do not present the same
degree of concern regarding the purposes of General Utilities repeal,
comments are requested as to whether the proposed regulations regarding
related section 355 distributions should, like the rules of Sec.
1.337(d)-7 generally, apply to both conversion transactions involving
RICs and conversion transactions involving REITs. All comments will be
available at www.regulations.gov or upon request. A public hearing will
be scheduled if requested in writing by any person that timely submits
written comments. If a public hearing is scheduled, notice of the date,
time, and place of the public hearing will be published in the Federal
Register.
Drafting Information
The principal author of these regulations is Austin M. Diamond-
Jones of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Corporate). Other
personnel from the Treasury Department and the IRS participated in
their development.
