(2) Notice of event of default. Following an event of default known by or disclosed to the IRS, the IRS will deliver to the sponsoring entity a notice of default specifying the event of default and, if applicable, identifying each sponsored direct reporting NFFE to which the notice relates. The IRS will request that the sponsoring entity remediate the event of default within 45 days (unless additional time is requested and agreed to by the IRS). The sponsoring entity must respond to the notice of default and provide information responsive to an IRS request for information or state the reasons why the sponsoring entity does not agree that an event of default has occurred. (3) Remediation of event of default. A sponsoring entity will be permitted to remediate an event of default to the extent that it agrees with the IRS on a remediation plan. The IRS may, as part of a remediation plan, require additional information from the sponsoring entity, remedial actions, or the performance of the specified review procedures VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:49 Jan 05, 2017 Jkt 241001 described in paragraph (f)(3)(ii) of this section. (4) Termination—(i) In general. If the sponsoring entity does not provide a response to a notice of default within the period specified in paragraph (g)(2) of this section, or if the sponsoring entity does not satisfy the conditions of the remediation plan within the time period specified by the IRS, the IRS may deliver a notice of termination that terminates the sponsoring entity’s status, the status of one or more sponsored direct reporting NFFEs as a direct reporting NFFE, or both the sponsoring entity and one or more sponsored direct reporting NFFEs. (ii) Termination of sponsoring entity. If the IRS notifies the sponsoring entity that its status is terminated, the sponsoring entity must send notice of the termination to each withholding agent from which it receives payments and each financial institution with which it holds an account for which a withholding certificate or written statement prescribed in § 1.1471– 3(d)(11)(x)(B) (as applicable) was provided with respect to each sponsored direct reporting NFFE within 30 days after the date of termination. A sponsoring entity that has had its status terminated cannot reregister on the FATCA registration Web site to act as a sponsoring entity for any sponsored direct reporting NFFE unless it receives written approval from the IRS. Unless the status of the sponsored direct reporting NFFEs has been terminated, the sponsored direct reporting NFFEs may register on the FATCA registration Web site as direct reporting NFFEs or as sponsored direct reporting NFFEs of another sponsoring entity, other than a sponsoring entity that is related to the sponsoring entity that was terminated. An entity is related to the terminated sponsoring entity if they have a relationship with each other that is described in section 267(b). (iii) Termination of sponsored direct reporting NFFE. If the IRS notifies the sponsoring entity that the status of a sponsored direct reporting NFFE is terminated (but not the sponsoring entity’s status), the sponsoring entity must remove the sponsored direct reporting NFFE from the sponsoring entity’s registration account on the FATCA registration Web site and send notice of the termination to each withholding agent from which the sponsored direct reporting NFFE receives payments and each financial institution with which it holds an account for which a withholding certificate or written statement prescribed in § 1.1471–3(d)(11)(x)(B) (as applicable) was provided with respect PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 1645 to such sponsored direct reporting NFFE within 30 days after the date of termination. A sponsored direct reporting NFFE that has had its status as a sponsored direct reporting NFFE terminated (independent from a termination of status of its sponsoring entity) may not register on the FATCA registration Web site as a direct reporting NFFE or as a sponsored direct reporting NFFE of another sponsoring entity unless it receives written approval from the IRS. (iv) Reconsideration of notice of default or notice of termination. A sponsoring entity or sponsored direct reporting NFFE may request, within 90 days of a notice of default or notice of termination, reconsideration of the notice of default or notice of termination by written request to the IRS. * * * * * ■ Par. 7.

It is hereby certified that the collection of information in this notice of proposed rulemaking will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of section 601(6) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:49 Jan 05, 2017 Jkt 241001 The domestic small business entities that are subject to the collections of information in this notice of proposed rulemaking are those domestic business entities that are payors of certain U.S. source income to foreign persons. These domestic small business entities are subject to comprehensive rules under chapter 3 to identify the proper treatment of payees for purposes of that chapter’s information reporting and tax withholding purposes. The domestic small business entities subject to the collections of information in this notice of proposed rulemaking are also subject to comprehensive information reporting and tax withholding rules under chapters 4 and 61 with respect to payments of certain U.S. source income subject to information reporting and tax reporting under chapter 3. These payors are also subject to information and reporting rules under section 3406. Payors of payments that are subject to the information reporting and withholding regimes under chapter 3 play an important role in U.S. tax compliance by providing information about payments made to, and income earned by, U.S. and foreign taxpayers. Although the Treasury Department and the IRS anticipate that a substantial number of domestic small entities will be affected by the collection of information in this notice of proposed rulemaking, the Treasury Department and the IRS believe that the economic impact to these entities resulting from the information collection requirements will not be significant. The reporting obligations under these proposed regulations flow from the obligations that domestic small entities may have as withholding agents for payments of amounts subject to withholding under sections 1441 or 1442. As withholding agents, these entities have already been subject to the overall framework of these regulations, and the economic burden of complying with any additional requirements will be minimal. Therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 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 businesses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The 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 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code 
(Code). The temporary regulations set forth rules relating to 
withholding and reporting requirements under chapter 3 of the Code, 
including rules relating to claims for a reduced rate of withholding 
under an income tax treaty. The preamble to the temporary regulations 
explains the temporary regulations and these proposed regulations.

Special Analyses

    Certain IRS regulations, including these, are exempt from the 
requirements of Executive Order 12866, as supplemented and reaffirmed 
by Executive Order 13653. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not 
required.
    It is hereby certified that the collection of information in this 
notice of proposed rulemaking will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of 
section 601(6) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6).
    The domestic small business entities that are subject to the 
collections of information in this notice of proposed rulemaking are 
those domestic business entities that are payors of certain U.S. source 
income to foreign persons. These domestic small business entities are 
subject to comprehensive rules under chapter 3 to identify the proper 
treatment of payees for purposes of that chapter's information 
reporting and tax withholding purposes. The domestic small business 
entities subject to the collections of information in this notice of 
proposed rulemaking are also subject to comprehensive information 
reporting and tax withholding rules under chapters 4 and 61 with 
respect to payments of certain U.S. source income subject to 
information reporting and tax reporting under chapter 3. These payors 
are also subject to information and reporting rules under section 3406.
    Payors of payments that are subject to the information reporting 
and withholding regimes under chapter 3 play an important role in U.S. 
tax compliance by providing information about payments made to, and 
income earned by, U.S. and foreign taxpayers.
    Although the Treasury Department and the IRS anticipate that a 
substantial number of domestic small entities will be affected by the 
collection of information in this notice of proposed rulemaking, the 
Treasury Department and the IRS believe that the economic impact to 
these entities resulting from the information collection requirements 
will not be significant. The reporting obligations under these proposed 
regulations flow from the obligations that domestic small entities may 
have as withholding agents for payments of amounts subject to 
withholding under sections 1441 or 1442. As withholding agents, these 
entities have already been subject to the overall framework of these 
regulations, and the economic burden of complying with any additional 
requirements will be minimal. Therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility 
Analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 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 businesses.

Comments and Public Hearing

    Before these proposed regulations are adopted as final regulations, 
consideration will be given to any written 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 rules, including comments on 
the clarity of the proposed rules and how compliance therewith could be 
made easier. All comments will be available for public inspection and 
copying. 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 for the public hearing 
will be published in the Federal Register.

Drafting Information

    The principal author of these proposed regulations is Leni C. 
Perkins, Office of Associate Chief Counsel (International). However, 
other personnel from the Treasury Department and the IRS participated 
in their development.
