The linkbases of the RR–2018 taxonomy depend on the DEI–2018 taxonomy, which is being removed. Please see https:// www.sec.gov/info/edgar/ edgartaxonomies.shtml for the complete list of supported standard taxonomies. Along with the adoption of the Filer Manual, we are amending 17 CFR 232.301 to provide for the incorporation by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations of the current revisions. This incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. The updated EDGAR Filer Manual is available for website viewing and printing; the address for the Filer Manual is https://www.sec.gov/info/ edgar/edmanuals.htm. You may also obtain paper copies of the EDGAR Filer Manual from the following address: Public Reference Room, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, on official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Because the Filer Manual and the corresponding rule and form amendments relate solely to agency procedures or practice, publication for notice and comment is not required under the Administrative Procedure Act (‘‘APA’’).5 It follows that the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 6 do not apply. The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and the related rule and form amendments is November 3, 2020. In accord with the APA,7 we find that there is good cause to establish an effective date less than 30 days after publication of these rules. The Commission believes that establishing an effective date less than 30 days after publication of these rules is necessary to coordinate the effectiveness of the updated Filer Manual with the related system upgrades.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issues this final rule to incorporate classification changes adopted by the Nice Agreement Concerning the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks (Nice Agreement). These changes are listed in the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks (Nice Classification), which is published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and will become effective on January 1, 2021. DATES: This rule is effective on January 1, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Purpose: As noted above, this final rule incorporates classification changes adopted by the Nice Agreement that will become effective on January 1, 2021. Specifically, this rule adds new services to or deletes existing services from two class headings to further define the types of services appropriate to the class. Summary of Major Provisions: The USPTO is revising § 6.1 of 37 CFR part 6 to incorporate classification changes and modifications, as listed in the Nice Classification (11th ed., ver. 2021), published by WIPO, which will become effective on January 1, 2021. The Nice Agreement is a multilateral treaty, administered by WIPO, that SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 69501 establishes the international classification of goods and services for the purposes of registering trademarks and service marks. As of September 1, 1973, this international classification system is the controlling system used by the United States, and it applies, for all statutory purposes, to all applications filed on or after September 1, 1973, and their resulting registrations. See 37 CFR 2.85(a). Every signatory to the Nice Agreement must utilize the international classification system. Each state party to the Nice Agreement is represented in the Committee of Experts of the Nice Union (Committee of Experts), which meets annually to vote on proposed changes to the Nice Classification. Any state that is a party to the Nice Agreement may submit proposals for consideration by the other members of the Committee of Experts in accordance with agreed-upon rules of procedure. Proposals are currently submitted on an annual basis to an electronic forum on the WIPO website, commented upon, modified, and compiled by WIPO for further discussion and voting at the annual Committee of Experts meeting. In 2013, the Committee of Experts began annual revisions to the Nice Classification. The annual revisions, which are published electronically and enter into force on January 1 each year, are referred to as versions and identified by edition number and the year of the effective date (e.g., ‘‘Nice Classification, 10th edition, version 2013’’ or ‘‘NCL 10– 2013’’). Each annual version includes all changes adopted by the Committee of Experts since the adoption of the previous version. The changes consist of: (1) The addition of new goods and services to, and deletion of goods and services from, the Alphabetical List, and (2) any modifications to the wording in the Alphabetical List, the class headings, and the explanatory notes that do not involve the transfer of goods or services from one class to another. New editions of the Nice Classification continue to be published electronically every five years and include all changes adopted since the previous annual version, as well as goods or services transferred from one class to another or new classes that have been created since the previous edition. Due to the worldwide impact of COVID–19, the International Bureau (IB) at WIPO announced on March 12, 2020, that the 30th session of the Committee of Experts, originally scheduled to be held in Geneva, Switzerland, from April 27, 2020, to May 1, 2020, would not be convened in person as planned.

correction are under sections 250 and 861 of the Internal Revenue Code.

[[Page 69501]]

Need for Correction

    As published on July 15, 2020 (85 FR 43042) the final regulations 
(TD 9901) contain errors that need to be corrected.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the final regulations (TD 9901) that were the subject 
of FR Doc. 2020-14649, published at 85 FR 43042 (July 15, 2020), are 
corrected as follows:
    1. On page 43044, third column, the third through the fifth, and 
the ninth line from the top of the last partial paragraph, and page 
43045, first column, the first line from the top of the first partial 
paragraph, the language ``taken into account in determining the taxable 
income limitation in section 250(a)(2),'' is corrected to read ``taken 
into account for coordinating taxable income limitations (including the 
taxable income limitation in section 250(a)(2)),'' and the language 
``if the method is applied consistently for all taxable'' is corrected 
to read '' if the same method is applied consistently for all relevant 
Code sections and for all taxable''.
    2. On page 43071, first column, the third and eighth and ninth line 
from the top of the last partial paragraph from the bottom, the text 
``years beginning before January 1, 2021,'' is corrected to read 
``years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and before January 1, 
2021,'' and the text ``provisions in Sec.  1.250(b)-4(d)(3) or Sec.  
1.250(b)-5(e)(4))'' is corrected to read ``provisions in Sec.  
1.250(b)-4(d)(3) or Sec.  1.250(b)-5(e)(4)), but once applied, 
taxpayers must apply the final regulations for all subsequent taxable 
years beginning before January 1, 2021''.
    3. On page 43071, second column, amend the first partial paragraph 
by adding at the end of the paragraph the text: ``The final regulations 
also make conforming amendments to Sec.  1.861-8 in relation to the 
finalization of the regulations under section 250. Consistent with the 
general applicability date for Sec. Sec.  1.250(a)-1 through 1.250(b)-
6, these amendments apply to taxable years beginning on or after 
January 1, 2021. For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2021, 
taxpayers may allocate and apportion deductions for purposes of 
determining deduction eligible income and foreign-derived deduction 
eligible income by allocating and apportioning deductions in accordance 
with the principles of Sec. Sec.  1.861-8 through 1.861-17. No 
inference is intended as to whether other approaches for allocating and 
apportioning deductions for purposes of section 250(b) may be 
considered to result in properly allocable deductions.''
