Internal Revenue Service February 5, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of the Treasury, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). Currently, the IRS is soliciting comments concerning Form 720-CS, Carrier Summary Report.

This document contains final and temporary regulations under section 367(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) regarding gain recognition agreements. The final regulations are necessary to update cross-references in the current regulations. The temporary regulations are necessary to respond to comments requested in Notice 2005-74. The regulations primarily affect U.S. persons that transfer stock or securities to foreign corporations or corporations engaged in transactions that affect existing gain recognition agreements. The text of these temporary regulations also serves as the text of the proposed regulations (REG-147144-06) set forth in the notice of proposed rulemaking on this subject published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.
