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 Unpublished rulings will not be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.

Electronic Filing of Duplicate
Forms 5472
AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service
(IRS), Treasury.
ACTION: Final regulation and removal of
temporary regulation.
SUMMARY: This document contains a fi-
nal regulation providing that a Form 5472
that is timely filed electronically is treated
as satisfying the requirement timely to file
a duplicate Form 5472 with the Internal
Revenue Service Center in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. This action is necessary to
clarify how the duplicate filing require-
ments for Form 5472 apply when a re-
porting corporation electronically files its
income tax return (including any attach-
ments such as Form 5472). This document
affects corporations subject to the report-
ing requirements in sections 6038A and
6038C that file Form 5472 electronically.
DATES:Effective Date:This regulation is
effective on September 15, 2004.
Applicability Date:For the dates of
applicability, see §§1.6038A–1(n) and
1.6038A–2(h).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 9, 2004, final and tempo-
rary regulations (T.D. 9113, 2004–9 I.R.B.
524) relating to the duplicate filing re-
quirements for Form 5472 were published
in theFederal Register(69 FR 5931).
The temporary regulation addressed how
the duplicate filing requirements for Form
5472 apply when a reporting corporation
electronically files its income tax return
(including any attachments such as Form
5472). On February 9, 2004, a notice
of proposed rulemaking and public hear-
ing (REG–167217–03, 2004–9 I.R.B. 540)
wasalsopublishedintheFederal Regis-
ter(69 FR 5940) with respect to the provi-
sions of the temporary regulation. No writ-
ten or electronic comments were received
in response to the notice of proposed rule-
making. No requests to speak at the public
hearing were received, and, accordingly,
the hearing was canceled.
Explanation of Provisions
This Treasury decision adopts the lan-
guage of the proposed regulation without
change. The temporary regulation is re-
moved.
Special Analysis
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 also has been determined
that section 553(b) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does
not apply to this regulation, and because
this regulation does not impose a collec-
tion of information on small entities, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chap-
ter 6) does not apply. Pursuant to section
7805(f) of the Code, the notice of proposed
rulemaking preceding this regulation was
submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advo-
cacy of the Small Business Administration
for comment on its impact on small busi-
nesses.
Drafting Information
The principal author of this regulation is
Edward R. Barret, Office of the Associate
Chief Counsel (International). However,
other personnel from the IRS and Trea-
sury Department participated in its devel-
opment.

Part III. Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous
Classification of Certain
Foreign Entities
Notice 2004–68
This notice announces that Treasury
and the Internal Revenue Service (the Ser-
vice) will amend § 301.7701–2(b)(8) of
the Procedure and Administration Regula-
tions to include certain foreign entities on
the list of entities always treated as corpo-
rations under section 7701 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
BACKGROUND
The Service and Treasury issued final
regulations concerning the classification
of entities under section 7701 on De-
cember 18, 1996 (final regulations). See
generally T.D. 8697, 1997–1 C.B. 215,
and §§ 301.7701–1 through 3. Under the
final regulations, a business entity that
is not specifically classified as a corpo-
ration is an eligible entity that can elect
its classification for federal tax purposes
under certain circumstances. However,
§ 301.7701–2(b)(8) provides a list of
certain foreign business entities that are
always classified as corporations for fed-
eral tax purposes (theper secorporation
list). These foreign business entities are
generally referred to asper secorpora-
tions.
On October 8, 2001, the Council of the
European Union adopted Council Regula-
tion 2157/2001 2001 O.J. (L 294) (the EU
Regulation) to provide for a new business
entity, the European public limited liability
company (Societas Europaea or SE). The
EU Regulation will enter into force on Oc-
tober 8, 2004, and will have legal effect
in all the Member States of the European
Economic Area (which includes all Mem-
ber States of the European Union plus Nor-
way, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). An SE
musthavearegisteredofficeinoneofthe
Member States.
The SE is a public limited liability com-
pany. The EU Regulation provides gen-
eral rules that govern the formation and op-
eration of an SE, and supplements those
rules for specified issues and issues it does
not otherwise address by reference to the
laws with respect to public limited liabil-
ity companies for the country in which the
SE has its registered office. Most of the
countries in which an SE can have its regis-
tered office have a business entity that con-
stitutes a public limited liability company
and that currently is on theper secorpo-
ration list. However, an SE can have its
registered office in the following countries
that have a business entity that is a pub-
lic limited liability company but that is not
yet on theper secorporation list: Estonia,
Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, and Liechten-
stein.
DISCUSSION
The Service and Treasury have con-
cluded that an SE is properly classified as
aper secorporation because it will func-
tion as a public limited liability company.
The Service and Treasury will issue tem-
porary and proposed regulations that will
modify § 301.7701–2(b)(8) to include the
SE on theper secorporation list. Further,
the temporary and proposed regulations
will modify § 301.7701–2(b)(8) to in-
clude asper secorporations the Estonian
Aktsiaselts, Latvian Akciju Sabiedriba,
Lithuanian Akcine Bendroves, Slovenian
Delniska Druzba, and Liechtenstein
Aktiengesellschaft. These entities are the
public limited liability companies in their
respective countries.
The status of an SE may be relevant
to the application of various federal in-
come tax provisions, such as the subpart
F same-country exception under section
954(c)(3). Treasury and the Service are
considering these issues and invite com-
ments on any additional areas in which
guidance on the federal tax treatment of an
SE may be warranted.
EFFECTIVE DATE
The temporary and proposed regula-
tions to be issued adding the Estonian
Aktsiaselts, Latvian Akciju Sabiedriba,
Lithuanian Akcine Bendroves, Slovenian
Delniska Druzba, and Liechtenstein
Aktiengesellschaftto § 301.7701–2(b)(8)
generally will apply to such entities
formed on or after the date of this notice.
However, they shall also apply to an entity
formed before such date upon a 50 percent
or greater change of ownership subsequent
to such date. The temporary and proposed
regulations to be issued adding the SE to
§ 301.7701–2(b)(8) will apply to entities
formed on or after October 8, 2004.

Weighted Average Interest
Rates Update
Notice 2004–69
This notice provides guidance as to the
corporate bond weighted average interest
rate and the permissible range of interest
rates specified under §412(b)(5)(B)(ii)(II)
of the Internal Revenue Code. In ad-
dition, it provides guidance as to the
interest rate on 30-year Treasury securi-
ties under § 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(II), and the
weighted average interest rate and permis-
sible ranges of interest rates based on the
30-year Treasury securities rate.
CORPORATE BOND WEIGHTED
AVERAGE INTEREST RATE
Sections 412(b)(5)(B)(ii) and 412(l)(7)
(C)(i), as amended by the Pension Funding
Equity Act of 2004, provide that the inter-
est rates used to calculate current liability
and to determine the required contribution
under § 412(l) for plan years beginning in
2004 or 2005 must be within a permissible
range based on the weighted average of the
rates of interest on amounts invested con-
servatively in long term investment grade
corporate bonds during the 4-year period
ending on the last day before the beginning
of the plan year.
Notice 2004–34, 2004–18 I.R.B. 848,
provides guidelines for determining the
corporate bond weighted average interest
rate and the resulting permissible range
of interest rates used to calculate current
liability. That notice establishes that the
corporate bond weighted average is based
on the monthly composite corporate bond
rate derived from designated corporate
bond indices.
2004–43 I.R.B.706October 25, 2004

The composite corporate bond rate for
September 2004 is 5.63 percent. Pursuant
to Notice 2004–34, the Service has de-
termined this rate as the average of the
monthly yields for the included corporate
bond indices for that month.
The following corporate bond weighted
average interest rate was determined for
plan years beginning in the month shown
below.

imum amount of the deduction allowed
under § 404(a)(1).
The rate of interest on 30-year Treasury

ECTION 1. PURPOSE
Pursuant to § 1397E(e)(2) of the Inter-
nal Revenue Code, this revenue procedure

(1997), added § 1397E to the Internal Rev-
enue Code to provide a credit to holders of
Bonds under certain circumstances so that
the Bonds generally can be issued without
discount or interest. Ninety-five percent of
Bond proceeds are to be used for qualified
purposes, as defined by § 1397E(d)(5),
with respect to a qualified zone academy,
as defined by § 1397E(d)(4).
.02 Section 1397E(e)(1), as amended
by § 304 of the Working Families Tax Re-

tive populations below the poverty level
(as defined by the Office of Management
and Budget) and is to be further allocated
by each State to qualified zone academies
within the State.
.03 Section 1397E(e)(4), as amended
by § 509 of the Tax Relief Extension Act
of 1999, Pub. L. 106–170, 113 Stat. 1860

forwards from 1998 or 1999) following the
unused limitation year. For this purpose, a
limitation amount shall be treated as used
on a first-in first-out basis.

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
This document contains proposed reg-
ulations amending 26 CFR part 301 under
section 7502 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Section 7502(a) first appeared as part of
the recodification of the Code in 1954.
Section 7502(a) is commonly known as
the timely mailing/timely filing rule. Sec-
tion 301.7502–1 of the Procedure and Ad-
ministration Regulations provides rules for
taxpayers to follow to qualify for favorable
treatment under section 7502. There is a
conflict among the Circuits of the United
States Court of Appeals as to whether the
provisions in section 7502 provide the ex-
clusive means to establishprima facieev-
idence of delivery of a document to the
IRS or the United States Tax Court. In
particular, courts have reached differing
conclusions regarding whether a taxpayer
may raise a presumption of delivery of
Federal tax documents to the IRS and the
United States Tax Court only in situations
in which the taxpayer uses registered or
certified mail. These proposed regulations
clarify the existing regulations and provide
guidance on the need to use registered or
certified mail to file documents with the
IRS and the United States Tax Court to en-
joy a presumption of delivery.
Explanation of Provisions
These proposed regulations amend
§301.7502–1(e)(1) to clarify that, other
than direct proof of actual delivery, the
exclusive means to establishprima facie
evidence of delivery of Federal tax docu-
ments to the IRS and the United States Tax
2004–43 I.R.B.710October 25, 2004

Court is to prove the use of registered or
certified mail. The IRS currently accepts
only a registered or certified mail receipt to
establish a presumption of delivery if the
IRS has no record of ever having received
the document in question. This policy not
only is consistent with section 7502(c)
but also provides taxpayers with certainty
that, under the Code, a certified or reg-
istered mail receipt will establishprima
facieevidence of delivery. Accordingly,
the proposed regulations merely clarify
and confirm current IRS practice under
the existing regulations. These proposed
regulations provide that the final regula-
tions, to which these proposed regulations
relate, will be effective for all documents
mailed after the publication date of these
proposed regulations.
Under section 7502(f)(3), the IRS may
extend to a service provided by a private
delivery service (PDS) a rule similar to
theprima facieevidence of delivery rule
applicable to registered and certified mail.
To date the IRS has not received any com-
ments or suggestions for extending this
rule even though the IRS and the Trea-
sury Department previously requested
comments in a prior notice of proposed
rulemaking under section 7502.See64
FR 2606 (Jan. 15, 1999). As the IRS is
clarifying what documentation it will ac-
cept as proof of delivery, it is appropriate
to solicit comments on this issue again.
Accordingly, the IRS and the Treasury
Department encourage the public to make
comments regarding whether the IRS and
the Treasury Department should extend
theprima facieevidence of delivery rule
to a service provided by a PDS. These
comments should address the reasons why
the IRS should treat a service provided
by a PDS as substantially equivalent to
registered or certified mail, including a
comparison of the benefits to taxpayers
and the IRS of the PDS service with the
benefits of registered and certified mail.
Special Analyses
It has been determined that this notice
of proposed rulemaking is not a significant
regulatory action as defined in Executive
Order 12866. Therefore, a regulatory as-
sessment is not required. It has also been
determined that section 553(b) of the Ad-
ministrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chap-
ter 5) does not apply to the regulations.
It is hereby certified that the collection
of information contained in this regulation
will not have a significant economic im-
pact on a substantial number of small en-
tities. Accordingly, a regulatory flexibil-
ity analysis is not required. Although the
collection of information in this notice of
proposed rulemaking affects a substantial
number of small entities, the economic im-
pact on these small entities is not substan-
tial. If a small entity uses registered or
certified mail to file a document with the
IRS, the additional burden (filling out the
appropriate United States Postal Service
forms) over and above using regular mail
is not substantial. Furthermore, the extra
cost to use registered or certified mail is
not substantial as certified mail costs only
$2.30 and registered mail can be used for
as little as $7.50. Finally, the added bur-
den of retaining the certified or registered
mail sender’s receipt will be minimal as
the receipt can be associated with the small
entity’s copy of the document that it filed
with the IRS.
Pursuant to section 7805(f), this notice
of proposed rulemaking will be submitted
to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the
Small Business Administration for com-
ment on its impact on small businesses.
Comments and Requests for Public
Hearing
Before these proposed regulations are
adopted as final regulations, consideration
will be given to any written (a signed orig-
inal and 8 copies) or electronic comments
that are submitted timely to the IRS. The
IRS and the Treasury Department request
comments on the clarity of the proposed
rules and how they can be made easier to
understand. All comments will be avail-
able for public inspection and copying.
A public hearing may be scheduled if
requested in writing by any person that
timely submits written comments. If a
public hearing is scheduled, notice of the
date, time, and place for the public hearing
will be published in theFederal Register.
Drafting Information
The principal author of the regulations
is Charles A. Hall of the Office of the
Associate Chief Counsel, Procedure and
Administration (Administrative Provi-
sions and Judicial Practice Division).

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.
