  <description><![CDATA[ The OCC, OTS, Board, FDIC, NCUA, FTC, CFTC, and SEC (the 
Agencies) are requesting comment on whether the Agencies should 
consider amending the regulations that implement sections 502 and 503 
of the GrammLeachBliley Act (GLB Act) to allow or require financial 
institutions to provide alternative types of privacy notices, such as a 
short privacy notice, that would be easier for consumers to understand.

  <title><![CDATA[  Establishing Defenses to the Imposition of the Accuracy-Related  Penalty]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-30-03-31899</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This document contains final regulations that affect the 
defenses available to the imposition of the accuracyrelated penalty 
when taxpayers fail to disclose reportable transactions or fail to 
disclose that they have taken a return position based on the conclusion 
that a regulation is invalid. The final regulations are intended to 
promote disclosure of reportable transactions and positions based on 
the conclusion that a regulation is invalid by narrowing a taxpayer's 
ability to establish good faith and reasonable cause as a defense. The 
final regulations also clarify the existing regulations with respect to 
the facts and circumstances to be considered in determining whether a 
taxpayer acted with reasonable cause and in good faith.
