HIGHLIGHTS
OF THIS ISSUE
These synopses are intended only as aids to the reader in
identifying the subject matter covered. They may not be relied
upon as authoritative interpretations.

Mission of the Service
The purpose of the Internal Revenue Service is to
collect the proper amount of tax revenue at the least
cost; serve the public by continually improving the
quality of our products and services; and perform in a
manner warranting the highest degree of public
confidence in our integrity, efficiency and fairness.
Statement of Principles
of Internal Revenue
Tax Administration
The function of the Internal Revenue Service is to
administer the Internal Revenue Code. Tax policy
for raising revenue is determined by Congress.
With this in mind, it is the duty of the Service to
carry out that policy by correctly applying the laws
enacted by Congress; to determine the reasonable
meaning of various Code provisions in light of the
Congressional purpose in enacting them; and to
perform this work in a fair and impartial manner,
with neither a government nor a taxpayer point of view.
At the heart of administration is interpretation of the
Code. It is the responsibility of each person in the
Service, charged with the duty of interpreting the
law, to try to find the true meaning of the statutory
provision and not to adopt a strained construction in
the belief that he or she is ‘‘protecting the revenue.’’
The revenue is properly protected only when we as-
certain and apply the true meaning of the statute.
The Service also has the responsibility of applying
and administering the law in a reasonable,
practical manner. Issues should only be raised by
examining officers when they have merit, never
arbitrarily or for trading purposes. At the same
time, the examining officer should never hesitate
to raise a meritorious issue. It is also important
that care be exercised not to raise an issue or to
ask a court to adopt a position inconsistent with
an established Service position.
Administration should be both reasonable and
vigorous. It should be conducted with as little
delay as possible and with great courtesy and
considerateness. It should never try to overreach,
and should be reasonable within the bounds of law
and sound administration. It should, however, be
vigorous in requiring compliance with law and it
should be relentless in its attack on unreal tax
devices and fraud.

Introduction
The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instru-
ment of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for
announcing official rulings and procedures of the Inter-
nal Revenue Service and for publishing Treasury Deci-
sions, Executive Orders, Tax Conventions, legislation,
court decisions, and other items of general interest. It is
published weekly and may be obtained from the Superin-
tendent of Documents on a subscription basis. Bulletin
contents of a permanent nature are consolidated semi-
annually into Cumulative Bulletins, which are sold on a
single-copy basis.
It is the policy of the Service to publish in the Bulletin all
substantive rulings necessary to promote a uniform
application of the tax laws, including all rulings that
supersede, revoke, modify, or amend any of those
previously published in the Bulletin. All published rulings
apply retroactively unless otherwise indicated. Proce-
dures relating solely to matters of internal management
are not published; however, statements of internal
practices and procedures that affect the rights and
duties of taxpayers are published.
Revenue rulings represent the conclusions of the Ser-
vice on the application of the law to the pivotal facts
stated in the revenue ruling. In those based on positions
taken in rulings to taxpayers or technical advice to
Service field offices, identifying details and information
of a confidential nature are deleted to prevent unwar-
ranted invasions of privacy and to comply with statutory
requirements.
Rulings and procedures reported in the Bulletin do not
have the force and effect of Treasury Department
Regulations, but they may be used as precedents.
Unpublished rulings will not be relied on, used, or cited
as precedents by Service personnel in the disposition of
other cases. In applying published rulings and proce-
dures, the effect of subsequent legislation, regulations,
court decisions, rulings, and procedures must be consid-
ered, and Service personnel and others concerned are
cautioned against reaching the same conclusions in
other cases unless the facts and circumstances are
substantially the same.
The Bulletin is divided into four parts as follows:
Part I.—1986 Code.
This part includes rulings and decisions based on
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Part II.—Treaties and Tax Legislation.
This part is divided into two subparts as follows:
Subpart A, Tax Conventions, and Subpart B, Legislation
and Related Committee Reports.
Part III.—Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous.
To the extent practicable, pertinent cross references to
these subjects are contained in the other Parts and
Subparts. Also included in this part are Bank Secrecy
Act Administrative Rulings. Bank Secrecy Act Administra-
tive Rulings are issued by the Department of the
Treasury’s Office of the Assistant Secretary (Enforce-
ment).
Part IV.—Items of General Interest.
With the exception of the Notice of Proposed Rulemak-
ing and the disbarment and suspension list included in
this part, none of these announcements are consoli-
dated in the Cumulative Bulletins.
The first Bulletin for each month includes an index for
the matters published during the preceding month.
These monthly indexes are cumulated on a quarterly and
semiannual basis, and are published in the first Bulletin
of the succeeding quarterly and semi-annual period,
respectively.
The contents of this publication are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. A citation of the Internal Revenue Bulletin as the source would be appropriate.

Part III. Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous
Compliance With Tax-Exempt Bond
Arbitrage Requirements
Notice 96–49
Rev. Proc. 96–41, 1996–32 I.R.B. 9,
is part of a continuing initiative of the
Internal Revenue Service to address the
complex compliance matters associated
with the arbitrage yield restriction and
rebate requirements of § 148 of the
Internal Revenue Code. In particular,
Rev. Proc. 96–41 provides a voluntary
closing agreement program for issuers
of state or local government bonds that
may have used bond proceeds to pay
more than fair market value for
nonpurpose investments deposited into
an advance refunding escrow. As dis-
cussed below, this notice requests com-
ments on Rev. Proc. 96–41 and modifies
section 5.01 of Rev. Proc. 96–41 by
extending the deadline for requesting a
closing agreement under the program. In
the meantime, issuers can continue to
take advantage of the closing agreement
program.
Rev. Proc. 96–41 reflects the Ser-
vice’s efforts to provide issuers with a
relatively standardized, voluntary proce-
dure to identify and correct potential
noncompliance with the arbitrage yield
restriction and rebate requirements of
§ 148. As part of the standardized ap-
proach, the closing agreement program
described in Rev. Proc. 96–41 utilizes
the concept of spot price as the basis for
the closing agreement amount. Rev.
Proc. 96–41 acknowledges, however,
that the use of spot price is for the
administrative convenience of issuers of
state or local government bonds and the
Service. As indicated in Rev. Proc. 96–
41, no inference should be drawn that
spot price necessarily reflects fair mar-
ket value in any particular case.
Since the release of Rev. Proc. 96–41,
the Service has received written and oral
comments on the revenue procedure. In
response to these comments, the Service
is reviewing the revenue procedure and
is taking the following steps.
(1) The Service extends the deadline
in section 5.01 of Rev. Proc. 96–41 for
requesting a closing agreement under
the revenue procedure from July 19,
1997, to a date that will be no earlier
than 1 year from the date the Service
publishes further guidance relating to
the duration of the closing agreement
program described in Rev. Proc. 96–41.
See section 4.02 of Rev. Proc. 96–41,
however, for a limitation on the use of
the closing agreement program for is-
sues under examination (or which come
under examination).
(2) The Service invites interested par-
ties to submit written comments on all
aspects of Rev. Proc. 96–41. The Ser-
vice is particularly interested in receiv-
ing comments and specific proposals on
the following matters:
(i) What is an appropriate time period
within which to request a closing agree-
ment under the closing agreement pro-
gram described in Rev. Proc. 96–41?
(ii) What methods or procedures are
appropriate to determine spot price (in-
cluding the range of values acceptable
as spot price) for purposes of determin-
ing the closing agreement amount under
section 6 of Rev. Proc. 96–41?
(iii) Are there other methods appro-
priate for determining the closing agree-
ment amount that would be easier for
the Service and issuers to apply?
(iv) Are alternative closing agreement
programs warranted either for all types
of issues or for particular types of issues
such as (a) small issues, or (b) bonds
issued on or prior to August 15, 1986,
or prior to other effective dates of the
Tax Reform Act of 1986?
The Service requests that comments
(a signed original and eight (8) copies)
be submitted in writing on or before
December 17, 1996. Send submissions
to: CC:DOM:CORP:R (Notice 96–49),

ington, DC, or (2) may be submitted
electronically via the Service’s internet
site at http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/prod/
tax_regs/comments.html. All comments
will be available for public inspection

A public hearing has been scheduled
for January 15, 1997, at 10 a.m. in
Room 332, Federal Trade Commission
Building, 6th and Pennsylvania Ave.,
NW, Washington, DC. Because of ac-
cess restrictions, visitors will not be
admitted beyond the Federal Trade
Commission Building lobby more than
15 minutes before the hearing starts.
The hearing will be subject to proce-
dures similar to those described in 26
CFR 601.601(a)(3).
Persons that wish to present oral
comments at the hearing must submit
written comments by December 17,
1996, and submit an outline of the
topics to be discussed and the time to be
devoted to each topic (signed original
and eight (8) copies) by December 24,
1996.
A period of 10 minutes will be allot-
ted to each person for making com-
ments.
An agenda showing the scheduling of
the speakers will be prepared after the
deadline for receiving outlines has
passed. Copies of the agenda will be
available free of charge at the hearing.
EFFECT ON OTHER DOCUMENTS
Rev. Proc. 96–41, section 5.01 is
modified by extending the deadline for
requesting a closing agreement from
July 19, 1997, to a date that will be no
earlier than 1 year from the date the
Service publishes further guidance relat-
ing to the duration of the closing agree-
ment program described in Rev. Proc.
96–41.

SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
Background
On September 22, 1995, Final Income
Tax Regulations (TD 8619 [1995–2 C.B.
41]) under sections 401(a)(31) and
402(c) were published in theFederal
Register(60 FR 49199). The final regu-
lations provide guidance for complying
with the Unemployment Compensation
Amendments of 1992 (UCA).
UCA expanded the types of distribu-
tions from a qualified plan that are
eligible to be rolled over to an indi-
vidual retirement account or individual
retirement annuity, or to another quali-
fied plan that accepts rollovers (collec-
tively referred to as eligible retirement
plans). Such distributions are referred to
as eligible rollover distributions. UCA
also added a new qualification provision
under section 401(a)(31) that requires
qualified plans to provide employees
with a direct rollover option. Under a
direct rollover option, an employee may
elect to have an eligible rollover distri-
bution paid directly to an eligible retire-
ment plan. The direct rollover option is
provided in addition to the pre-existing
rollover provisions under section 402.
Thus, an employee who receives an
eligible rollover distribution but who
does not elect a direct rollover still has
the option to roll over the distribution to
an eligible retirement plan within 60
days of receipt.
The final regulations under section
401(a)(31) provide that a plan that ac-
cepts a direct rollover from another plan
will not fail to satisfy section 401(a) or
403(a) merely because the plan making
the distribution is, in fact, not qualified
under section 401(a) or 403(a) at the
time of the distribution, if, prior to
accepting the rollover, the receiving plan
reasonably concluded that the distribut-
ing plan was qualified under section
401(a) or 403(a). The regulations pro-
vide, as an example, that the receiving
plan may reasonably conclude that the
distributing plan was qualified under
section 401(a) or 403(a) if, prior to
accepting the rollover, the plan adminis-
trator of the distributing plan provided
the receiving plan with a statement that
the distributing plan had received a
determination letter from the Commis-
sioner indicating that the plan was quali-
fied. The plan administrator is not re-
quired to verify this information, such as
by obtaining a copy of the distributing
plan’s plan document or determination
letter, in order to reasonably conclude
that the distributing plan is qualified
under section 401(a) or 403(a).
Explanation of Provisions
1.Overview
The relief to be provided in these
proposed regulations is intended to in-
crease the portability of qualified plan
benefits when an employee changes
jobs. This objective would be achieved
by reassuring a plan sponsor that accep-
tance of an amount as a rollover contri-
bution, in appropriate circumstances,
will not affect the plan’s qualification
under section 401(a) or 403(a).
2.Expansion of existing relief for re-
ceiving plans
These proposed regulations would ex-
pand and clarify in several respects the
relief provided in the regulations under
section 401(a)(31) issued last year. First,
the proposed regulations would clarify
and expand the relief from disqualifica-
tion currently provided for plans that
accept direct rollovers. The protection
would be expanded to be available not
only if the plan administrator reasonably
concludes the distributing plan is quali-
fied under section 401(a) or 403(a)
(even if later it is determined that the
distributing plan is not a qualified plan),
but also if the plan administrator reason-
ably concludes that a distribution meets
the other requirements to be an eligible
rollover distribution (but later it is deter-
mined that this conclusion was incor-
rect). Further, the proposed regulation
would clarify that if the plan administra-
tor reaches these conclusions reasonably,
and satisfies the corrective distribution
requirement described below, the contri-
bution will be treated as a rollover con-
tribution for purposes of applying quali-
fication requirements under section
401(a) or 403(a) to the plan. Thus, if the
contribution was not, in fact, a distribu-
tion from a qualified plan or for any
other reason fails to be an eligible
rollover distribution within the meaning
of section 402(c), the contribution nev-
ertheless would be treated as a rollover
contribution as opposed to, for example,
an employee contribution for purposes
of section 401(m) or for purposes of
section 415.
Second, the regulations would extend
this expanded relief from disqualifica-
tion to plans that accept rollover contri-
butions other than direct rollover contri-
butions. Thus, the relief would apply to
plans that accept rollover contributions
made by an employee within 60 days of
the date of the distribution from a plan.
Further, the relief would apply to plans
that accept rollover contributions from a
‘‘conduit IRAs,’’ i.e., an individual re-
tirement plan that does not contain any
amount attributable to any source other
than a rollover contribution (as defined
in section 402) from a plan qualified
under section 401(a) or an annuity
qualified under section 403(a). The re-
lief would apply if (a) when accepting a
rollover contribution, the plan adminis-
trator of the receiving plan reasonably
concludes that the contribution is an
81996–41 I.R.B.

eligible rollover distribution from a
qualified plan (or an amount distributed
from a conduit IRA) and that the contri-
bution satisfies the other applicable re-
quirements of section 402(c) or 408(d)-
(3) for treatment as a rollover contribu-
tion and (b) the receiving plan satisfies
the corrective distribution requirement
described below.
The regulations would provide ex-
amples of the actions that a plan admin-
istrator might take to reasonably con-
clude that an employee’s contribution
satisfies the requirements for treatment
as a rollover contribution. The examples
are intended to be merely illustrative.
Plan administrators may develop other
approaches or procedures for reasonably
reaching this conclusion.
Finally, the regulations would provide
that if the receiving plan later obtains
actual knowledge or otherwise deter-
mines that the distributing plan was not
qualified at the time of the distribution,
that any portion of the distribution was
not an eligible rollover distribution or an
amount distributed from a conduit IRA,
or that the contribution to the plan
otherwise did not satisfy the applicable
requirements of section 402 or 408 for
treatment as a rollover contribution, a
corrective distribution equal to the
amount of the contribution plus any
earnings attributable to the contribution
would be required to be made to the
employee within a reasonable time after
such determination.
Special Analyses
It has been determined that this notice
of proposed rulemaking is not a signifi-
cant regulatory action as defined in EO
12866. Therefore, a regulatory assess-
ment is not required. It also has been
determined that section 553(b) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
chapter 5) does not apply to these regu-
lations, and because the regulation does
not impose a collection of information
on small entities, the Regulatory Flex-
ibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not
apply. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the
Internal Revenue Code, this notice of
proposed rulemaking will be submitted
to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of
the Small Business Administration for
comment on its impact on small busi-
ness.
Comments and Requests for a Public
Hearing
Before these proposed regulations are
adopted as final regulations, consider-
ation will be given to any written com-
ments (a signed original and eight (8)
copies) or comments transmitted via
Internet that are submitted timely to the
IRS. All comments will be available for
public inspection and copying.
A public hearing may be scheduled if
requested in writing by a person that
timely submits written comments. If a
public hearing is scheduled, notice of
the date, time, and place for the hearing
will be published in theFederal Regis-
ter.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* * * * *
Q–14: If a plan accepts an invalid
rollover contribution, whether or not as
a direct rollover, how will the contribu-
tion be treated for purposes of applying
the qualification requirements of section
401(a) or 403(a) to the plan?
A–14: (a)Acceptance of invalid
rollover contribution.If a plan accepts
an invalid rollover contribution, the con-
tribution will be treated, for purposes of
applying the qualification requirements
of section 401(a) or 403(a) to the re-
ceiving plan, as if it were a valid roll-
over contribution, if the following two
conditions are satisfied. First, when ac-
cepting the amount from the employee
as a rollover contribution, the plan ad-
ministrator of the receiving plan reason-
ably concludes that the contribution is a
valid rollover contribution. Second, if
the plan administrator of the receiving
plan later determines that the contribu-
tion was an invalid rollover contribution,
the amount of the invalid rollover con-
tribution, plus any earnings attributable
thereto, is distributed to the employee
within a reasonable time after such
determination.
(b)Definitions.For purposes of this
Q&A–14:
(1) An invalid rollover contribution is
an amount that is accepted by a plan as
a rollover within the meaning of
Q&A–1 of § 1.402(c)–2 (or as a roll-
over contribution within the meaning of
section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii)) but that is not
an eligible rollover distribution from a
qualified plan (or an amount described
in section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii)) or that does
not satisfy the other requirements of
section 401(a)(31), 402(c), or 408(d)(3)
for treatment as a rollover or a rollover
contribution.
(2) A valid rollover contribution is a
contribution that is accepted by a plan
as a rollover within the meaning of
Q&A–1 of § 1.402(c)–2 or as a rollover
contribution within the meaning of sec-
tion 408(d)(3) and that satisfies the
requirements of section 401(a)(31), 402-
(c), or 408(d)(3) for treatment as a roll-
over or a rollover contribution.
(c) The provisions of paragraph (a) of
this Q&A–14 are illustrated by the fol-
lowing examples:
Example 1.(a) Employer X maintains for its
employees Plan M, a profit sharing plan qualified
under section 401(a). Plan M provides that any
91996–41 I.R.B.

employee of Employer X may make a rollover
contribution to Plan M. Employee A is an em-
ployee of Employer X, will not have attained age
70 1/2 by the end of the year, and has a vested
account balance in Plan O (a plan maintained by
Employee A’s prior employer). Employee A elects
a single sum distribution from Plan O and elects
that it be paid to Plan M in a direct rollover.
(b) Employee A provides the plan administrator
of Plan M with a letter from the plan administrator
of Plan O stating that Plan O has received a
determination letter from the Commissioner indi-
cating that Plan O is qualified.
(c) Based upon such a letter, absent facts to the
contrary, a plan administrator may reasonably
conclude that Plan O is qualified and that the
amount paid as a direct rollover is an eligible
rollover distribution.
Example 2.(a) Same facts asExample 1, except
that Employee A elects to receive the distribution
from Plan O and wishes to make a rollover
contribution described in section 402 rather than a
direct rollover.
(b) When making the rollover contribution, Em-
ployee A certifies that, to the best of Employee A’s
knowledge, Employee A is entitled to the distribu-
tion as an employee and not as a beneficiary, the
distribution from Plan O to be contributed to Plan
M is not one of a series of periodic payments, the
distribution from Plan O was received by Em-
ployee A not more than 60 days before the date of
the rollover contribution, and the entire amount of
the rollover contribution would be includible in
gross income if it were not being rolled over.
(c) As support for these certifications, Em-
ployee A provides the plan administrator of Plan
M with two statements from Plan O. The first is a
letter from the plan administrator of Plan O, as
described inExample 1, stating that Plan O has
received a determination letter from the Commis-
sioner indicating that Plan O is qualified. The
second is the distribution statement that accompa-
nied the distribution check. The distribution state-
ment indicates that the distribution is being made
by Plan O to Employee A, indicates the gross
amount of the distribution, and indicates the
amount withheld as Federal income tax. The
amount withheld as Federal income tax is 20
percent of the gross amount of the distribution.
Employee A contributes to Plan M an amount not
greater than the gross amount of the distribution
stated in the letter from Plan O and the contribu-
tion is made within 60 days of the date of the
distribution statement from Plan O.
(d) Based on the certifications and documenta-
tion provided by Employee A, absent facts to the
contrary, a plan administrator may reasonably
conclude that Plan O is qualified and that the
distribution otherwise satisfies the requirements of
section 402(c) for treatment as a rollover contribu-
tion.
Example 3.(a) The facts are the same as in
Example 2, except that, rather than contributing
the distribution from Plan O to Plan M, Employee
A contributes the distribution from Plan O to IRA
P, an individual retirement account described in
section 408(a). After the contribution of the distri-
bution from Plan O to IRA P, but before the year
in which Employee A attains age 70 1/2, Em-
ployee A requests a distribution from IRA P and
decides to contribute it to Plan M as a rollover
contribution. To make the rollover contribution,
Employee A endorses the check received from
IRA P as payable to Plan M.
(b) In addition to providing the certifications
described inExample 2with respect to the
distribution from Plan O, Employee A certifies
that, to the best of Employee A’s knowledge, the
contribution to IRA P was made not more than 60
days after the date Employee A received the
distribution from Plan O, no amount other than the
distribution from Plan O has been contributed to
IRA P, and the distribution from IRA P was
received not more than 60 days earlier than the
rollover contribution to Plan M.
(c) As support for these certifications, in addi-
tion to the two statements from Plan O described
inExample 2, Employee A provides copies of
statements from IRA P. The statements indicate
that the account is identified as an IRA, the
account was established within 60 days of the date
of the letter from Plan O informing Employee A
that an amount had been distributed, and the
opening balance in the IRA does not exceed the
amount of the distribution described in the letter
from Plan O. There is no indication in the
statements that any additional contributions have
been made to IRA P since the account was
opened. The date on the check from IRA P is less
than 60 days before the date that Employee A
makes the contribution to Plan M.
(d) Based on the certifications and documenta-
tion provided by Employee A, absent facts to the
contrary, a plan administrator may reasonably
conclude that Plan O is qualified and that the
contribution by Employee A is a rollover contribu-
tion described in section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii) that
satisfies the other requirements of section
408(d)(3) for treatment as a rollover contribution.
Par. 3. Section 1.402(c)–2 is amended
by adding a sentence to the end of A–11
to read as follows:
§ 1.402(c)–2 Eligible rollover distribu-
tions; questions and answers.
* * * * *
A–11. * * * See § 1.401(a)(31)–1,
Q&A–14, for guidance concerning the
qualification of a plan that accepts a
rollover contribution.

If an organization listed above sub-
mits information that warrants the re-
newal of its classification as a public
charity or as a private operating founda-
tion, the Internal Revenue Service will
issue a ruling or determination letter
with the revised classification as to
foundation status. Grantors and contribu-
tors may thereafter rely upon such rul-
ing or determination letter as provided
in section 1.509(a)–7 of the Income Tax
Regulations. It is not the practice of the
Service to announce such revised classi-
fication of foundation status in the Inter-
nal Revenue Bulletin.

Announcement of the Disbarment, Suspension, and Consent to Voluntary
Suspension of Attorneys, Certified Public Accountants, Enrolled Agents and
Enrolled Actuaries From Practice Before the Internal Revenue Service
Under Section 330, Title 31 of the
United States Code, the Secretary of the
Treasury, after due notice and opportu-
nity for hearing, is authorized to sus-
pend or disbar from practice before the
Internal Revenue Service any person
who has violated the rules and regula-
tions governing the recognition of attor-

rolled agents or enrolled actuaries to
practice before the Internal Revenue
Service.
Attorneys, certified public accoun-
tants, enrolled agents, and enrolled actu-

or under suspension from practice be-
fore the Internal Revenue Service.
To enable attorneys, certified public

Definition of Terms
Revenue rulings and revenue procedures
(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘rulings’’)
that have an effect on previous rulings
use the following defined terms to de-
scribe the effect:
Amplifieddescribes a situation where
no change is being made in a prior
published position, but the prior position
is being extended to apply to a variation
of the fact situation set forth therein.
Thus, if an earlier ruling held that a
principle applied to A, and the new
ruling holds that the same principle also
applies to B, the earlier ruling is ampli-
fied. (Compare withmodified, below).
Clarifiedis used in those instances
where the language in a prior ruling is
being made clear because the language
has caused, or may cause, some confu-
sion. It is not used where a position in a
prior ruling is being changed.
Distinguisheddescribes a situation
where a ruling mentions a previously
published ruling and points out an es-
sential difference between them.
Modifiedis used where the substance
of a previously published position is
being changed. Thus, if a prior ruling
held that a principle applied to A but not
to B, and the new ruling holds that it
applies to both A and B, the prior ruling
is modified because it corrects a pub-
lished position. (Compare withamplified
andclarified, above).
Obsoleteddescribes a previously pub-
lished ruling that is not considered de-
terminative with respect to future trans-
actions. This term is most commonly
used in a ruling that lists previously
published rulings that are obsoleted be-
cause of changes in law or regulations.
A ruling may also be obsoleted because
the substance has been included in regu-
lations subsequently adopted.
Revokeddescribes situations where
the position in the previously published
ruling is not correct and the correct
position is being stated in the new
ruling.
Supersededdescribes a situation
where the new ruling does nothing more
than restate the substance and situation
of a previously published ruling (or
rulings). Thus, the term is used to
republish under the 1986 Code and
regulations the same position published
under the 1939 Code and regulations.
The term is also used when it is desired
to republish in a single ruling a series of
situations, names, etc., that were previ-
ously published over a period of time in
separate rulings. If the new ruling does
more than restate the substance of a
prior ruling, a combination of terms is
used. For example,modifiedandsuper-
sededdescribes a situation where the
substance of a previously published rul-
ing is being changed in part and is
continued without change in part and it
is desired to restate the valid portion of
the previously published ruling in a new
ruling that is self contained. In this case
the previously published ruling is first
modified and then, as modified, is su-
perseded.
Supplementedis used in situations in
which a list, such as a list of the names
of countries, is published in a ruling and
that list is expanded by adding further
names in subsequent rulings. After the
original ruling has been supplemented
several times, a new ruling may be
published that includes the list in the
original ruling and the additions, and
supersedes all prior rulings in the series.
Suspendedis used in rare situations to
show that the previous published rulings
will not be applied pending some future
action such as the issuance of new or
amended regulations, the outcome of
cases in litigation, or the outcome of a
Service study.
