SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

On January 3, 2001, the Treasury Department and the IRS published in the Federal Register (66 FR 319) a notice of proposed rulemaking (REG10468300) providing guidance with respect to the application of sections 902 and 904. Written comments were received and a public hearing on the proposed regulations was held on April 26, 2001. After consideration of the comments received, the Treasury Department and the IRS are withdrawing the portions of the proposed regulations that would have amended Sec. Sec. 1.9021 and 1.9044(g). The amendments to Sec. 1.9021 would have terminated the pooling of a foreign corporation's post1986 undistributed earnings and foreign income taxes if the ownership requirements of section 902(c)(3)(B) were not met as of the end of any taxable year. The amendments to Sec. 1.9044(g) would have disallowed lookthrough treatment for a dividend paid by a CFC or noncontrolled section 902 corporation out of E&P accumulated while the corporation was a lookthrough entity (i.e., the corporation was a CFC or, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2002, a noncontrolled section 902 corporation) if paid after an intervening period during which the corporation was a nonlookthrough entity (i.e., a lessthan 10%U.S.owned corporation or, for tax years beginning on or before December 31, 2002, a noncontrolled section 902 corporation).

Final regulations adopting the remaining portions of the proposed regulations are being published in the Rules and Regulations section in this issue of the Federal Register. See the preamble to the final regulations for a discussion of the reasons Sec. Sec. 1.9021 and 1.9044(g) are being withdrawn.

Drafting Information

The principal author of this withdrawal notice is Bethany A. Ingwalson, Office of Associate Chief Counsel (International). However, other personnel from the Treasury Department and the IRS participated in its development.
