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 Unpublished rulings will not be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.

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.

ISSUE
Whether costs incurred by a timber
grower for the post-establishment fertil-
ization of an established timber stand are
ordinary and necessary business expenses
deductible under § 162 of the Internal Rev-
enue Code or capital expenditures under
§ 263.
FACTS
Xowns and manages timberlands in
the United States on which it grows trees
for use in its lumber and wood prod-
ucts business. After the target species
of timber establishes dominance in an
area and becomes an established timber
stand,Xincurs costs to perform various
silvicultural practices for the purposes of
managing, maintaining, and protecting the
stand. These post-establishment silvicul-
tural costs include labor and materials for
fire, disease, insect, and brush control.X
performs these silvicultural practices to
maintain optimal growing conditions that
will promote healthy development and
maximize timber volume.
In 2004,Xincurs costs to apply fertil-
izer to a portion of its timberlands underly-
ing an established stand of trees. This ap-
plication, commonly referred to as “post-
establishment fertilization,” is performed
after the target species of timber has es-
tablished dominance in the stand.Xgen-
erally performs post-establishment fertil-
ization once during the long-term growth
cycle of a timber stand.Xperforms the
fertilization to supplement nutrients in the
soil to maintain optimal growing condi-
tions that will promote healthy develop-
ment and maximize timber volume.
LAW AND ANALYSIS
Section 162 and § 1.162–1(a) of the In-
come Tax Regulations allow a deduction
for all the ordinary and necessary expenses
paid or incurred during the taxable year in
carrying on any trade or business.
Section 263(a)(1) provides that no de-
duction is allowed for any amount paid
out for new buildings or for permanent
improvements or betterments made to in-
crease the value of any property.See also
§ 1.263(a)–1(a).
Section 1.263(a)–1(b) provides that
capital expenditures include amounts
paid or incurred to (1) add to the value,
or substantially prolong the useful life,
of property owned by the taxpayer, or
(2) adapt property to a new or different
use. However, amounts paid or incurred
for incidental repairs and maintenance
of property for purposes of § 162 and
§ 1.162–4 are not capital expenditures
under § 1.263(a)–1.
Section 263A generally provides that
the direct and indirect costs properly allo-
cable to real or tangible personal property
produced by the taxpayer must be capital-
ized. Section 263A(c)(5)(A) provides that
§ 263A shall not apply to trees raised, har-
vested, or grown by the taxpayer other than
trees bearing fruit, nuts, or other crops,
or ornamental trees (other than evergreen
trees more than 6 years old at the time sev-
ered from their roots).
Certain costs incurred by timber grow-
ers for silvicultural practices performed in
established timber stands are ordinary and
necessary business expenses deductible
under § 162. These costs include amounts
incurred for labor and materials for fire,
disease, insect, and brush control.See
Barham v. United States, 301 F. Supp. 43
(M.D. Ga. 1969),aff’d on other grounds,
429F.2d40(5
th
Cir. 1970); H.R. Conf.
Rep. No. 841, 99
th
Cong., 2d Sess. II–117
(1986); H.R. Rep. No. 426, 99
th
Cong., 1
st
Sess. 624 (1985). These costs are incurred
for the management, maintenance, and
protection of the timber stand. These costs
are not incurred to materially add value to
the timber stand, substantially prolong its
useful life, or adapt the timber stand to a
new or different use. Accordingly, these
costs are not required to be capitalized
under § 263.
Like fire, disease, insect, and brush
control, post-establishment fertilization
promotes healthy development and maxi-
mizes timber volume and is performed for
the management, maintenance, and pro-
tection of the timber stand. There are no
significant differences between post-es-
tablishment fertilization and the types of
post-establishment silvicultural practices,
such as brush control, that have previously
been held to be ordinary and necessary
business expenses deductible under § 162.
Therefore,X’s costs for post-establishment
fertilization are deductible as ordinary and
necessary business expenses under § 162.
Furthermore, becauseXis growing trees
for timber production,Xis not required
to capitalize the direct and indirect costs
allocable to producing such trees under
§263A.See§ 263A(c)(5).
HOLDING
Costs incurred by a timber grower for
the post-establishment fertilization of an
established timber stand are ordinary and
necessary business expenses deductible
under § 162.

ACCOUNTING

Weighted Average Interest
Rates Update
Notice 2004–42
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
Sections412(b)(5)(B)(ii)and
412(l)(7)(C)(i), as amended by the Pen-
sion Funding Equity Act of 2004, provide
that the interest rates used to calculate cur-
rent 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 conservatively in long term in-
vestment 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.
The composite corporate bond rate for
May 2004 is 6.19 percent. Pursuant to No-
tice 2004–34, the Service has determined
this rate as the average of the monthly
yields for the included corporate bond in-
dices for that month.
The following corporate bond weighted
average interest rate was determined for
plan years beginning in the month shown
below.

amended by the Pension Funding Eq-
uity Act of 2004, permits an employer
to elect to disregard subclause (II) of
§ 412(b)(5)(B)(ii) to determine the max-
imum amount of the deduction allowed
under § 404(a)(1).
The rate of interest on 30-year Treasury
securities for May 2004 is 5.42 percent.
Pursuant to Notice 2002–26, 2002–1 C.B.

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.
