SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 14, 2023, the Federal Register published a notice of 
proposed rulemaking and partial withdrawal of notice of proposed 
rulemaking (REG-132422-17) at 88 FR 78134 (the proposed regulations). 
The proposed regulations that are the subject of this correction are 
issued under sections 861, 985 through 989, and 1502 of the Internal 
Revenue Code.

Need for Correction

    As published, the preamble to the proposed regulations contains 
errors that may prove to be misleading. This document provides a 
technical correction to the preamble, which clarifies the misleading 
paragraph.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of the proposed regulations (REG-
132422-17), which was the subject of FR Doc. 2023-24649, published on 
November 14, 2023, is corrected on page 78156, in the third column, by 
revising the first full paragraph to read, ``Taxpayers may rely on the 
proposed regulations (and so much of the final regulations as would not 
be modified by the proposed regulations) for taxable years ending after 
November 9, 2023, provided the taxpayer and each member of its 
consolidated group and section 987 electing group consistently follow 
the proposed regulations in their entirety and in a consistent manner. 
Additionally, for taxable years ending after November 9, 2023, and 
beginning on or before December 31, 2024, taxpayers may rely on only 
the applicability date provisions in proposed Sec. Sec.  1.861-
9(g)(2)(v), 1.985-5(g), 1.987-14(a), (c), and (d), 1.988-1(i), 1.988-
4(b)(2)(ii), and 1.989(a)-1(b)(4) and (d)(4), provided that: (1) the 
taxpayer and each member of its consolidated group and section 987 
electing group consistently follow those provisions in their entirety 
and in a consistent manner for those taxable years; (2) with respect to 
any terminating QBU to which proposed Sec.  1.987-14(a)(2) would apply 
or partnership to which proposed Sec.  1.987-14(a)(3) would apply, the 
taxpayer and each member of its consolidated group and section 987 
electing group consistently follow all of the proposed regulations (and 
so much of the final regulations as would not be modified by the 
proposed regulations) in their entirety and in a consistent manner; and 
(3) to the extent that, under proposed Sec.  1.987-14(c), proposed 
Sec.  1.987-10 would be applied in lieu of prior Sec.  1.987-10, the 
taxpayer and each member of its consolidated group and section 987 
electing group consistently follow proposed Sec.  1.987-10 in its 
entirety and in a consistent manner. Thus, for example, a calendar year 
taxpayer that has consistently followed the method described in the 
1991 proposed regulations could continue to follow that method for the 
2024 taxable year in reliance on proposed Sec.  1.987-14(a)(1) (and 
would not need to follow the other parts of the proposed regulations, 
except to the extent provided in the prior sentence).''
