(e) Coordination with provision for grandfathered obligations under chapter 4. A non-debt contract that is modified only as described in paragraph (a)(2) or (3) of this section is not materially modified for purposes of § 1.1471– 2(b)(2)(iv). (f) Coordination with the OID and REMIC rules. For rules regarding original issue discount on certain debt instruments that provide for a rate referencing an IBOR, see § 1.1275–2(m). For rules regarding certain interests in a REMIC that provide for a rate referencing an IBOR, see § 1.860G–1(e). (g) Applicability date. This section applies to an alteration of the terms of a debt instrument or a modification of the terms of a non-debt contract that occurs on or after the date of publication of a Treasury decision adopting these rules as final regulations in the Federal Register. Taxpayers and their related parties, within the meaning of sections 267(b) and 707(b)(1), may apply this section to an alteration of the terms of a debt instrument or a modification of the terms of a non-debt contract that occurs before the date of publication of a Treasury decision adopting these rules as final regulations in the Federal Register, provided that the taxpayers and their related parties consistently apply the rules of this section before that date. See section 7805(b)(7). ■ Par. 6. Section 1.1271–0 is amended by adding a reserved entry for § 1.1275– 2(l) and by adding entries for § 1.1275– 2(m) to read as follows: § 1.1271–0 Original issue discount; effective date; table of contents. * * * * * § 1.1275–2 Special rules relating to debt instruments. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS * * * * * (l) [Reserved] (m) Transition from interbank offered rates.

Section 1.1275–2, as proposed to be amended at 84 FR 47210, September 9, 2019, is further amended by adding paragraph (m) to read as follows: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:30 Oct 08, 2019 Jkt 250001 54079 § 1.1275–2 Special rules relating to debt instruments. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY * Internal Revenue Service * * * * (m) Transition from interbank offered rates—(1) In general. This paragraph (m) applies to a variable rate debt instrument (as defined in § 1.1275–5(a)) that provides both for a qualified floating rate that references an interbank offered rate (IBOR) and for a methodology to change the IBORreferencing rate to a different rate in anticipation of the IBOR becoming unavailable or unreliable. See § 1.1001– 6 for additional rules that may apply to a debt instrument that provides for a rate referencing an IBOR. (2) Single qualified floating rate. If a debt instrument is described in paragraph (m)(1) of this section, the IBOR-referencing rate and the different rate are treated as a single qualified floating rate for purposes of § 1.1275–5. (3) Remote contingency. If a debt instrument is described in paragraph (m)(1) of this section, the possibility that the IBOR will become unavailable or unreliable is treated as a remote contingency for purposes of paragraph (h) of this section. (4) Change in circumstances. If a debt instrument is described in paragraph (m)(1) of this section, the fact that the IBOR has become unavailable or unreliable is not treated as a change in circumstances for purposes of paragraph (h)(6) of this section. (5) Applicability date. Paragraph (m) of this section applies to debt instruments issued on or after the date of publication of a Treasury decision adopting these rules as final regulations in the Federal Register. However, a taxpayer may apply paragraph (m) of this section to debt instruments issued before the date of publication of a Treasury decision adopting these rules as final regulations in the Federal Register.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission, provided by the State of Tennessee, through the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), through a letter dated September 13, 2018, for inclusion into the Tennessee SIP. This proposal pertains to the infrastructure requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 2015 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). Whenever EPA promulgates a new or revised NAAQS, the CAA requires that each state adopt and submit a SIP for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of each NAAQS promulgated by EPA. TDEC certified that the Tennessee SIP contains provisions that ensure the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and maintained in Tennessee. EPA is proposing to determine that portions of Tennessee’s SIP submission satisfy certain required infrastructure elements for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

Background and Overview On October 1, 2015 (published October 26, 2015, see 80 FR 65292), EPA promulgated a revised primary and secondary NAAQS for ozone revising the 8-hour ozone NAAQS from 0.075 parts per million to a new more protective level of 0.070 ppm. Pursuant to section 110(a)(1) of the CAA, states are required to submit SIP revisions meeting the applicable requirements of section 110(a)(2) within three years after promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS or within such shorter period as EPA may prescribe. Section 110(a)(2) requires states to address basic SIP elements such as requirements for monitoring, basic program requirements, and legal authority that are designed to assure attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS. This particular type of SIP is commonly referred to as an ‘‘infrastructure SIP.’’ States were required to submit such SIPs for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS to EPA no later than October 1, 2018.1 1 In these infrastructure SIP submissions, states generally certify evidence of compliance with sections 110(a)(1) and (2) of the CAA through a combination of state regulations and statutes, some of which have been incorporated into the federallyapproved SIP. In addition, certain federallyapproved, non-SIP regulations may also be appropriate for demonstrating compliance with sections 110(a)(1) and (2). E:\FR\FM\09OCP1.SGM 09OCP1
