Introduction
The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instrument of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for announcing official
rulings and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service and for
publishing Treasury Decisions, Executive Orders, Tax Conven-
tions, legislation, court decisions, and other items of general
interest. It is published weekly and may be obtained from the
Superintendent of Documents on a subscription basis. Bulletin
contents are compiled semiannually into Cumulative Bulletins,
which are sold on a single-copy basis.
It is the policy of the Service to publish in the Bulletin all sub-
stantive rulings necessary to promote a uniform application of
the tax laws, including all rulings that supersede, revoke, mod-
ify, or amend any of those previously published in the Bulletin.
All published rulings apply retroactively unless otherwise indi-
cated. Procedures relating solely to matters of internal man-
agement 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 Service 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
unwarranted 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 Unpublished rulings will not be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
procedures, the effect of subsequent legislation, regulations,
court decisions, rulings, and procedures must be considered,
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.—19
86 Code.
This part i
ncludes rulings and decisions based on provisions of
the Intern
al Revenue Code of 1986.
Part II.—Treaties and Tax Legislation.
This part is divided into two subparts as follows: Subpart A,
Tax Conventions and Other Related Items, and Subpart B, Leg-
islation 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 Rul-
ings. Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings are issued by
the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Assistant Sec-
retary (Enforcement).
Part IV
.—Items of General Interest.
This par
t includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbar-
ment an
d suspension lists, and announcements.
The last Bulletin for each month includes a cumulative index
for the matters published during the preceding months. These
monthly indexes are cumulated on a semiannual basis, and are
published in the last Bulletin of each semiannual period.
The c
ontents of this publication are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. A citation of the Internal Revenue Bulletin as the source would be appropriate.

Section 42.—Low-Income
Housing Credit
Low-income housing credit; satisfac-
tory bond; “bond factor” amounts for
the period January through September

ers who dispose of qualified low-income
buildings or interests therein during the pe-
riod January through September 2006.
Rev. Rul. 2006–37
In Rev. Rul. 90–60, 1990–2 C.B.
3, the Internal Revenue Service provided
guidance to taxpayers concerning the gen-
eral methodology used by the Treasury
Department in computing the bond factor
amounts used in calculating the amount of
bond considered satisfactory by the Secre-
tary under § 42(j)(6) of the Internal Rev-
enue Code. It further announced that the
Secretary would publishintheInternal
Revenue Bulletin a table of bond factor
amounts for dispositions occurring during
each calendar month.
Rev. Proc. 99–11, 1999–1 C.B. 275,
established a collateral program as an al-
ternative to providing a surety bond for
taxpayers to avoid or defer recapture of
the low-income housing tax credits under
§ 42(j)(6). Under this program, taxpayers
may establish a Treasury Direct Account
and pledge certain United States Treasury
securities to the Internal Revenue Service
as security.
This revenue ruling provides in Table
1 the bond factor amounts for calculat-
ing the amount of bond considered satis-
factory under § 42(j)(6) or the amount of
United States Treasury securities to pledge
in a Treasury Direct Account under Rev.
Proc. 99–11 for dispositions of qualified
low-income buildings or interests therein
during the period January through Septem-
ber 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This document contains amendments to
26 CFR Part 1. On June 27, 2003, tempo-
rary regulations (T.D. 9063, 2003–2 C.B.
510 [68 FR 38177]) regarding whether a
loss corporation has an owner shift where a
qualifiedtrustdescribedinsection401(a)
distributes an ownership interest in an
entity were published in theFederal Reg-
ister. A notice of proposed rulemaking
(REG–108676–03, 2003–2 C.B. 523)
cross-referencing the temporary regula-
tions was published in theFederal Regis-
terfor the same day (68 FR 38247). The
temporary regulations provided that—(1)
if a qualified trust distributes an owner-
ship interest in an entity, then for testing
dates on or after the date of the distribu-
tion, the distributed ownership interest
will be treated as having been acquired
by the distributee on the date and in the
manner acquired by the trust, and (2) the
distribution itself does not give rise to a
testing date. They further provided that,
July 24, 2006922006–30 I.R.B.

in determining which ownership interests
have been distributed, the loss corporation
must account for all dispositions of own-
ership interests by the qualified trust either
by specifically identifying the ownership
interest disposed of, or by using a first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method.
The preamble of T.D. 9063 included
background information and an explana-
tion of provisions regarding the regula-
tions. Also in the preamble, the IRS and
Treasury Department requested comments
regarding whether there are other events
that, under current rules, are taken into ac-
count in determining whether an owner-
ship change occurs, but do not cause the ul-
timate beneficial ownership of the loss cor-
poration to change. In this regard, the IRS
and Treasury Department indicated that
they had been studying the constructive
ownership rules as they apply to members
of a family and the effect of those rules on
the determination of whether a loss corpo-
ration has an ownership change. The IRS
and Treasury Department expressed con-
cern that, under the current rules, a change
in the composition of a family might be in-
terpreted in certain circumstances as shift-
ing ownership even though there has been
no change in the ultimate beneficial own-
ership of the loss corporation, as, for ex-
ample, might occur when two individuals
owning loss corporation stock get married.
The IRS and Treasury Department fur-
ther indicated that they were considering
the promulgation of regulations to address
such changes in family composition in a
manner similar to that employed in the
proposed regulations concerning qualified
trusts. The IRS and Treasury Department
will continue to study whether to issue
regulations under section 382 concerning
shifts in ownership resulting from certain
changes in family composition.
No comments were received respond-
ing to the notice of proposed rulemaking,
and no public hearing was requested
or held. The proposed regulations are
adopted with no substantive change by this
Treasury decision, and the corresponding
temporary regulations are removed.
Special Analyses
It has been determined that this regula-
tion is not a significant regulatory action
as defined in Executive Order 12866.
Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not
required. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3),
it has been determined that good cause
exists to dispense with a delayed effec-
tive date on grounds that this regulation,
which is substantively identical to cur-
rently effective temporary regulations and
relieves a restriction on affected quali-
fied trusts, merely continues to provide
necessary guidance to taxpayers with re-
spect to whether a loss corporation has an
ownership change where a qualified trust
described in section 401(a) distributes an
ownership interest in an entity. It is hereby
certified that these regulations will not
have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. This
certification is based on the fact that the
regulations provide relief to qualifying
loss corporations that might be affected by
an unintended consequence of the opera-
tion of the statute. Therefore, a Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not
required. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of
the Code, the notice of proposed rulemak-
ing preceding these final regulations was
submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advo-
cacy of the Small Business Administration
for comment on its impact on small busi-
ness.
Drafting Information
The principal author of these regula-
tions is Keith E. Stanley of the Office
of Associate Chief Counsel (Corporate).
Other personnel from the IRS and Treasury
Department participated in their develop-
ment.

Adoption of Amendments to the
Regulations
Accordingly, 26 CFR part 1 is amended
as follows:
PART 1 — INCOME TAXES
Paragraph 1. The authority citation for
part1isamendedbyaddingentriesinnu-
merical order to read, in part, as follows:
Authority: 26 U.S.C. 7805 * * *
Section 1.382–10 also issued under 26
U.S.C 382(m). * * *
Par. 2. Section 1.382–1 is amended
by removing the entry for §1.382–10T and
revising the entry for §1.382–10 to read as
follows:
§1.382–1 Table of contents.
*****
§1.382–10 Special rules for determining
time and manner of acquisition of an in-
terest in a loss corporation.
*****
Par. 3. Section 1.382–10 is added to
read as follows:
§1.382–10 Special rules for determining
time and manner of acquisition of an
interest in a loss corporation.
(a)Distributions from qualified
trusts—(1)In general. For purposes of
§1.382–2T, if a qualified trust described in
section 401(a) (qualified trust) distributes
anownershipinterestinanentity(asde-
fined in §1.382–3(a)(1)), then for testing
dates on or after the date of the distribu-
tion, the distributed ownership interest is
treated as having been acquired by the
distributee on the date and in the manner
acquired by the trust and not as having
been acquired or disposed of by the trust.
The distribution does not cause the day of
the distribution to be a testing date.
(2)Accounting for dispositions—(i)
General rule. For purposes of this para-
graph (a), in order to determine which
ownership interest in an entity is dis-
tributed from a qualified trust, a loss cor-
poration must either specifically identify
the ownership interests that are the subject
of all dispositions by the qualified trust of
ownership interests in an entity, or apply
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method to all
such dispositions.
(ii)Special rules. For purposes of this
paragraph (a)(2):
(A) The FIFO method must be applied
on a class-by-class basis; and
(B) The termdispositionsincludes dis-
tributions, sales, and other transfers.
(3)Examples. The following exam-
ples illustrate the principles of this para-
graph (a). For purposes of these exam-
ples, unless otherwise stated, the nomen-
clature and assumptions of the examples in
§1.382–2T(b) apply, all corporations file
separate income tax returns on a calendar
year basis, the only 5-percent shareholder
of a loss corporation is a public group,
and the facts set forth the only acquisitions
of stock by any participants in a qualified
plan and the only owner shifts with respect
2006–30 I.R.B.93July 24, 2006

to the loss corporation during the testing
period. The examples are as follows:
Example 1—(i)Facts. In 1994, E, a qualified trust
established under Plan F, acquires 10 percent of L
stock. A is a participant in Plan F. On January 1, 2002,
A acquires 4 percent of L stock, and B, who is not a
participant or a beneficiary of a participant in Plan F,
acquires 5 percent of L stock. On January 1, 2004, E
distributes 2 percent of L stock to A. On July 1, 2004,
A acquires 1 percent of L stock.
(ii)Analysis. January 1, 2002, is a testing date be-
cause B’s acquisition of 5 percent of L stock causes an
increase in the percentage ownership of B, a 5-percent
shareholder. As of the close of that testing date, A is
treated as owning only 4 percent of L stock. There-
fore, A is treated as a member of the public group of
L. In addition, E is treated as owning 10 percent of L
stock that it acquired in 1994.
(iii) As a result of the application of paragraph
(a)(1) of this section to E’s distribution of 2 percent
of L stock to A on January 1, 2004, for testing dates
on and after January 1, 2004, A is treated as having
acquired that 2 percent interest in L in 1994, and E is
treated as having acquired only 8 percent of L stock in
1994. Because there are no owner shifts on January
1, 2004, that date is not a testing date.
(iv) July 1, 2004, is a testing date because on that
date A, a 5-percent shareholder, acquires 1 percent
of L stock. As of the close of that testing date, A’s
percentage of ownership of L stock is 7 percent, and
A’s lowest percentage of ownership of L stock at any
time within the testing period is 2 percent (deemed
acquired in 1994), representing an increase of 5 per-
centage points. In addition, as of the close of July
1, 2004, B’s percentage of ownership of L stock is 5
percent, and B’s lowest percentage of ownership of
L stock at any time within the testing period is 0 per-
cent, representing an increase of 5 percentage points.
Thus, on July 1, 2004, L must take into account an in-
crease of 10 (5 + 5) percentage points in determining
whether it has an ownership change.
Example 2—(i)Facts. E is a qualified trust estab-
lished under Plan F. L, a publicly traded corporation,
has 100x shares of stock outstanding. As of January
1, 2006, C owns 5x shares of L stock and is not a par-
ticipant or beneficiary of a participant in Plan F. At
all times prior to January 1, 2006, E owns no L stock.
On January 1, 2006, E acquires 10x shares of L stock
from members of the public group of L. On December
1, 2007, E distributes 5x shares of L stock to some of
the participants in Plan F. No one participant acquires
all 5x shares as a result of the distribution. On Feb-
ruary 1, 2008, C purchases 1x shares of L stock from
the public group of L.
(ii)Analysis. Because E’s acquisition of 10x
shares of L stock on January 1, 2006, is an owner
shift, that date is a testing date. As of the close of
that date, E’s percentage of stock ownership in L has
increased by 10 percentage points.
(iii) As a result of the application of paragraph
(a)(1) of this section to E’s distribution of 5x shares
of L stock to some Plan F participants on December 1,
2007, for testing dates on and after December 1, 2007,
those distributees are treated as having acquired those
shares of stock on January 1, 2006, from members of
the public group of L, and E is not treated as having
acquired those shares on that date. E’s distribution
of the 5x shares is not an owner shift. Therefore,
December 1, 2007, is not a testing date.
(iv) February 1, 2008, is a testing date because
on that date an owner shift results from C’s purchase
of 1x shares of L stock. As of the close of that test-
ing date, the distributees of 5x shares of L stock are
treated as members of the public group of L having
acquired 5x shares of L stock from other members of
the public group of L on January 1, 2006. Because
those acquisitions are not by 5-percent shareholders,
L does not take them into account. In addition, as of
the close of February 1, 2008, E’s percentage of stock
ownershipinLis5percent,andE’slowestpercent-
age of stock ownership in L at any time within the
testing period is 0 percent, representing an increase
of 5 percentage points. In addition, as of the close of
February 1, 2008, C’s percentage of stock ownership
in L is 6 percent, and C’s lowest percentage of stock
ownership in L at any time within the testing period
is 5 percent, representing an increase of 1 percentage
point. Therefore, on February 1, 2008, L must take
into account an increase of 6 (5 + 1) percentage points
in determining whether it has an ownership change.
(4)Effective dates. This section applies
to all distributions after June 23, 2006. For
distributions on or before June 23, 2006,

cedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). For this reason,
the collection of information contained in
these regulations has been reviewed and
pending receipt and evaluation of public
comments, approved by the Office of Man-
agement and Budget under control number
1545–2020. Responses to this collection
of information are mandatory.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless the
collection of information displays a valid
control number assigned by the Office of
Management and Budget.
For further information concerning this
collection of information, and where to
submit comments on the collection of in-
formation and the accuracy of the esti-
mated burden, and suggestions for reduc-
ing this burden, please refer to the pream-
ble to the cross-referencing notice of pro-
posed rulemaking published in this issue of
the Bulletin.
Books or records relating to a collection
of information must be retained as long
as their contents may become material in
the administration of any internal revenue
law. Generally, tax returns and tax return
information are confidential, as required
by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
Background
Section 6038 of the Internal Revenue
Code (Code) requires a U.S. person to fur-
nish, with respect to any foreign business
entity which such person controls, certain
information as prescribed by the Secretary.
More specifically, section 6038(a)(1)(D)
provides that the information to be fur-
nished includes information relating to
transactions between the foreign business
entity and (i) such U.S. person, (ii) any
corporation or partnership controlled by
such U.S. person, and (iii) any U.S. person
owning at the time the transaction takes
place a 10 percent or greater interest in the
foreign business entity.
Section 6038A requires certain for-
eign-owned domestic corporations to fur-
nish certain information prescribed by the
Secretary. In particular, section 6038A(a)
requires a 25-percent foreign-owned do-
mestic corporation to furnish information
with respect to certain transactions be-
tween such corporation and certain related
parties.
Explanation of Provisions
The final regulations are revised to re-
move and correct obsolete references to
a form and IRS offices. The temporary
regulations conform the current final reg-
ulations to specific statutory changes and
make other minor clarifications to those fi-
nal regulations.
Section 1.6038–2 provides that each
U.S. person, with respect to each foreign
corporation such person controls, must
furnish the required information on a
Form 5471,“Information Return of U.S.
Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign
Corporations”, (or, in the case of taxable
years that ended before December 31,
1982, on a Form 2952,“Information Re-
turn With Respect to Foreign Controlled
Corporations”). Section 1.6038–2(f)
sets forth the information that must be
provided on the applicable form. The in-
formation that must be reported includes
a summary showing the total amount of
each of the types of transactions of the
corporation specified in §1.6038–2(f)(11).
In some cases, §1.6038–2(f)(11) requires
reporting of sales and purchases of items.
See §1.6038–2(f)(11)(i) (stock in trade)
and (iii) (certain intangibles). In other
cases, it requires reporting only of pur-
chases. See §1.6038–2(f)(11)(ii) (tangible
property other than stock in trade). The
temporary regulations modify the rules
of the final regulations to include the re-
porting of sales and purchases, instead of
just purchases, of tangible property. The
temporary regulations also modify the
current rules to include the reporting of
premiums paid, instead of just premiums
received, for insurance or reinsurance.
This consistent treatment of sales and pur-
chases, and premiums paid and received,
more fully implements the purpose of sec-
tion 6038. It also conforms the rules in
§1.6038–2 to analogous reporting rules.
See §1.6038A–2(b)(3)(ii) (reporting re-
quirements for foreign-owned domestic
corporations).
It has come to the IRS’ attention that
some foreign corporations that use an
accrual method of accounting may not
be properly reporting the transactions
described in §1.6038–2(f)(11). Accord-
ingly, §1.6038–2T(f)(12) modifies the
rules of the final regulations to clarify that
foreign corporations that use an accrual
method of accounting must report the
summary of the total amount of the trans-
actions described in §1.6038–2T(f)(11)
on an accrual basis. To maintain confor-
mity, §1.6038A–2(b)(8), which provides
a similar rule for foreign-owned domestic
corporations, has been similarly clarified.
Section 6038(b)(1), as amended by the
TRA ’97, provides for a $10,000 penalty
for failure to furnish the required informa-
tion within the time prescribed under sec-
tion 6038(a)(2). Section 6038(b)(2), as
amended by the TRA ’97, also provides
for additional $10,000 penalties (not to ex-
ceed a total of $50,000) when there is a
continuing failure to furnish the required
information. Section 1.6038–2(k)(1) sets
forth the dollar amounts of the penalty for
failure to furnish the information required
under section 6038. To conform to the
statutory change made by the TRA ’97,
§1.6038–2(k)(1) has been amended to re-
flect the increased penalty amounts.
Section6038(c)(4)(B)and
§1.6038–2(k)(3) provide a reason-
able cause exception for failure to furnish
the information required under section
6038. Some questions have arisen regard-
ing how one determines, after reasonable
cause has been established, the time
prescribed for furnishing the information
under §1.6038–2(i) (time and place for
filing return) and the 90-day period
described in §1.6038–2(k)(1)(ii) (increase
in penalty for continued failure after
notification) and §1.6038–2(k)(2)(iv)(A)
(reduction of foreign tax credit for contin-
ued failure after notice). Two examples
have been added in §1.6038–2T(k)(5) to
illustrate the determination, after reason-
able cause has been established under
§1.6038–2(k)(3)(i), of the time for filing
the Form 5471, and the beginning of the
90-day period.
The temporary regulations also mod-
ify the rules of the final regulations to in-
clude transactions between the foreign cor-
poration and controlled partnerships, im-
plementing a change made by section 1142
of the TRA ’97.
Section 1.6038–2 of the regulations has
been updated to remove references to ob-
solete Form 2952 and to reflect that the Di-
2006–30 I.R.B.95July 24, 2006

rector of Field Operations has replaced the
district director and the Field Director has
replaced the director of the service center.
Special Analyses
It has been determined that this Trea-
sury decision is not a significant regula-
tory action as defined in Executive Order
12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment
is not required. It has also been deter-
mined that section 553(b) of the Admin-
istrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter
5) does not apply to these regulations. For
the applicability of the Regulatory Flexi-
bility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6), refer to the
Special Analyses section of the preamble
to the cross-reference notice of proposed
ruling making published in this issue of the
Bulletin. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of
the Code, these final and temporary regula-
tions will be submitted to the Chief Coun-
sel for Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration for comment on their im-
pact on small business.

mailed a notice to A of A’s failure to file Form 5471
for 2007 with respect to FC. On August 1, 2008, A
submits a written statement asserting facts for rea-
sonable cause for failure to file the 2007 Form 5471
for FC. Based on A’s statement and discussions with
A, the Director of Field Operations agrees that A had
reasonable cause for failure to file FC’s 2007 Form

Rate Update
Notice 2006–66
Sections 412(b)(5)(B) and 412(l)(7)
(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code gen-
erally provide that the interest rates used
to calculate current liability for purposes
of determining the full funding limitation
under § 412(c)(7) and the required con-
tribution under § 412(l) must be within
a permissible range around the weighted
average of the rates of interest on 30-year
Treasury securities during the four-year
period ending on the last day before the
beginning of the plan year.
Notice 88–73, 1988–2 C.B. 383, pro-
vides guidelines for determining the
weighted average interest rate and the
resulting permissible range of interest
rates used to calculate current liability for
the purpose of the full funding limitation
of § 412(c)(7) of the Code.
Section 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(II) defines
the applicable interest rate, which must
be used for purposes of determining the
minimum present value of a participant’s
benefit under § 417(e)(1) and (2), as the
annual rate of interest on 30-year Treasury
securities for the month before the date
of distribution or such other time as the
Secretary may by regulations prescribe.
Section 1.417(e)–1(d)(3) of the Income
Tax Regulations provides that the applica-
ble interest rate for a month is the annual
interest rate on 30-year Treasury securi-
ties as specified by the Commissioner for
that month in revenuerulings, notices or
other guidance published in the Internal
Revenue Bulletin.
The rate of interest on 30-year Treasury
securities for June 2006 is 5.16 percent.
The Service has determined this rate as the
monthly average of the daily determina-
tion of yield on the 30-year Treasury bond
maturing in February 2036.

of information must be retained as long
as their contents may become material in
the administration of any internal revenue
law. Generally, tax returns and tax return

Background
Temporary regulations in this issue of
the Bulletin amend the Income Tax Regu-

ing rules under sections 6038 and 6038A
of the Code with respect to the informa-
tion required to be furnished regarding cer-
tain related party transactions of certain
foreign corporations and certain foreign-
owned domestic corporations. The text of
the temporary regulations also serves as
the text of these proposed regulations. The
preamble to the temporary regulations ex-
plains the temporary regulations and these
proposed regulations.
Special Analyses
It has been determined that this notice
of proposed rulemaking is not a signifi-
cant regulatory action as defined in Exec-
utive Order 12866. Therefore, a regula-
tory assessment is not required. It has also
been determined that section 553(b) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
chapter 5) does not apply to these regu-
lations. Because these regulations impose
no new collection of information on small

entities, a Regulatory Flexibility Analy-
sis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not required. Pur-
suant to section 7805(f) of the Code, this
notice of proposed rulemaking will be sub-
mitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy
of the Small BusinessAdministration for
comment on their impact on small busi-
ness.
Comments and Request for Public
Hearing

adopted as final regulations, consideration
will be given to any written (a signed origi-
nal and eight (8) copies) or electronic com-
ments that are submitted timely to the IRS.

inspection and copying. A public hearing
may be scheduled if requested by any per-
son who timely submits comments. If a

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 describe the ef-
fect:
Amplifieddescribes a situation where
no change is being made in a prior pub-
lished position, but the prior position is be-
ingextendedtoapplytoavariationofthe
fact situation set forth therein. Thus, if
an earlier ruling held that a principle ap-
plied to A, and the new ruling holds that the
same principle also applies to B, the earlier
ruling is amplified. (Compare withmodi-
fied,below).
Clarifiedis used in those instances
where the language in a prior ruling is be-
ing made clear because the language has
caused, or may cause, some confusion.
It is not used where a position in a prior
ruling is being changed.
Distinguisheddescribes a situation
where a ruling mentions a previously pub-
lished ruling and points out an essential
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 published position. (Compare
withamplifiedandclarified, above).
Obsoleteddescribes a previously pub-
lished ruling that is not considered deter-
minative with respect to future transac-
tions. This term is most commonly used in
a ruling that lists previously published rul-
ings that are obsoleted because of changes
in laws or regulations. A ruling may also
be obsoleted because the substance has
been included in regulations subsequently
adopted.
Revokeddescribes situations where the
position in the previously published ruling
is not correct and the correct position is
beingstatedinanewruling.
Supersededdescribes a situation where
the new ruling does nothing more than re-
state the substance and situation of a previ-
ously published ruling (or rulings). Thus,
the term is used to republish under the
1986 Code and regulations the same po-
sition published under the 1939 Code and
regulations. The term is also used when
it is desired to republish in a single rul-
ing a series of situations, names, etc., that
were previously published over a period of
time in separate rulings. If the new rul-
ing does more than restate the substance
of a prior ruling, a combination of terms
is used. For example,modifiedandsu-
persededdescribes a situation where the
substance of a previously published ruling
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 pub-
lished ruling is first modified and then, as
modified, is superseded.
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 rul-
ing has been supplemented several times, a
new ruling may be published that includes
the list in the original ruling and the ad-
ditions, and supersedes all prior rulings in
the series.
Suspendedis used in rare situations
to show that the previous published rul-
ings 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.
