The IRS Mission
Provide America’s taxpayers top quality service by helping
them understand and meet their tax responsibilities and by
applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to all.
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 Unpublished rulings will not be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.

2006–26 I.R.B.June 26, 2006

Actions Relating to Decisions of the Tax Court
It is the policy of the Internal Rev-
enue Service to announce at an early date
whether it will follow the holdings in cer-
tain cases. An Action on Decision is the
document making such an announcement.
An Action on Decision will be issued at
the discretion of the Service only on unap-
pealed issues decided adverse to the gov-
ernment. Generally, an Action on Decision
is issued where its guidance would be help-
ful to Service personnel working with the
same or similar issues. Unlike a Treasury
Regulation or a Revenue Ruling, an Action
on Decision is not an affirmative statement
of Service position. It is not intended to
serve as public guidance and may not be
cited as precedent.
Actions on Decisions shall be relied
upon within the Service only as conclu-
sions applying the law to the facts in the
particular case at the time the Action on
Decision was issued. Caution should be
exercised in extending the recommenda-
tion of the Action on Decision to similar
cases where the facts are different. More-
over, the recommendation in the Action on
Decision may be superseded by new legis-
lation, regulations, rulings, cases, or Ac-
tions on Decisions.
Prior to 1991, the Service published
acquiescence or nonacquiescence only in
certain regular Tax Court opinions. The
Service has expanded its acquiescence
program to include other civil tax cases
where guidance is determined to be help-
ful. Accordingly, the Service now may
acquiesce or nonacquiesce in the holdings
of memorandum Tax Court opinions, as
well as those of the United States District
Courts, Claims Court, and Circuit Courts
of Appeal. Regardless of the court decid-
ing the case, the recommendation of any
Action on Decision will be published in
the Internal Revenue Bulletin.
The recommendation in every Action
on Decision will be summarized as ac-
quiescence, acquiescence in result only,
or nonacquiescence. Both “acquiescence”
and “acquiescence in result only” mean
that the Service accepts the holding of
the court in a case and that the Service
will follow it in disposing of cases with
the same controlling facts. However, “ac-
quiescence” indicates neither approval
nor disapproval of the reasons assigned
by the court for its conclusions; whereas,
“acquiescence in result only” indicates
disagreement or concern with some or all
of those reasons. “Nonacquiescence” sig-
nifies that, although no further review was
sought, the Service does not agree with
the holding of the court and, generally,
will not follow the decision in disposing
of cases involving other taxpayers. In
reference to an opinion of a circuit court
of appeals, a “nonacquiescence” indicates
that the Service willnot follow the hold-
ing on a nationwide basis. However, the
Service will recognize the precedential
impact of the opinion on cases arising
within the venue of the deciding circuit.
The Actions on Decisions published in
the weekly Internal Revenue Bulletin are
consolidated semiannually and appear in
the first Bulletin for July and the Cumula-
tive Bulletin for the first half of the year. A
semiannual consolidation also appears in
the first Bulletin for the following January
and in the Cumulative Bulletin for the last
half of the year.
The Commissioner does NOT ACQUI-
ESCE in the following decision:
Pacific Gas and Electric Company v.
United States,
1
417 F.3d 1375 (Fed. Cir. 2005),
rev’g 55 Fed. Cl. 271 (2003)

Nonacquiescence relating to whether the statute of limitations barred the Service from recovering erroneously paid overpayment interest by offsetting against a subsequent refund of tax and
interest determined to be due to the taxpayer for the same taxable year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Paperwork Reduction Act
These temporary regulations are being
issued without prior notice and public pro-
cedure pursuant to the Administrative Pro-
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
1545–2019. 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.
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-
posedrulemakingpublishedinthisissueof
the Bulletin.
Books and records relating to a collec-
tion of information must be retained as
long as their contents may become mate-
rial in the administration of any internal
revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax
return information are confidential, as re-
quired by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
Background
This Treasury Decision amends Trea-
sury regulations under sections 279, 302,
331, 332, 338, 351, 355, 368, 381, 382,
1081, 1221, 1502, 1563, and 6012 of the
Internal Revenue Code (Code) that require
taxpayers to include a statement on or with
their Federal income tax returns. In some
cases, these statements are the method by
which taxpayers elect (or elect out of) a
particular income tax treatment. In other
cases, these statements are the method by
which taxpayers report that they undertook
a particular type of transaction. In both
cases, these regulations often require tax-
payers to include detailed amounts of in-
formation in these statements, or do not
clearly specify the required information.
In addition, many of these regulations
present impediments that prevent corpo-
rate taxpayers from submitting these state-
ments as part of an electronically filed Fed-
eral income tax return (e-filing). Some
of these regulations, for example, impede
e-filingbyrequiringtaxpayerstosigna
statement and include it on or with the tax-
payer’s income tax return. Others require
a taxpayer to include third-party signatures
on such statements or require taxpayers to
attach documents, or information supplied
by a third party.
Explanation of Provisions
1.Reporting Requirements That Were
Simplified, Clarified, or Eliminated
A.Regulations for which the reporting
requirements were simplified or clarified
Some regulations require a taxpayer to
include a statement on or with its return
if it undertakes certain types of transac-
tions. In some cases, these regulations re-
quire the taxpayer to submit detailed in-
formation about the particular transaction
with its return. In other cases, the scope
of the reporting requirement was unclear.
The IRS and Treasury Department believe
that it is not useful to require taxpayers
to attach all of this information to their
returns. Accordingly, these regulations
simplify and clarify the reporting require-
ments under several provisions.
B.Regulations for which the reporting
requirements were eliminated
Some regulations require that all share-
holders and security holders that receive
stock or securities incertain distributions
or exchanges file statements providing
information about that distribution or
exchange.See,e.g., §§1.355–5(b) and
1.368–3(b). The IRS and Treasury De-
partment have determined that for most
shareholders and security holders these
statements are no longer necessary. Ac-
cordingly, these temporary regulations
only require that a “significant holder”
file such statement. In the case of stock,
a significant holder is a holder of stock of
a corporation if at the time of the distri-
bution or exchange such holder owns at
least: (1) 5% (by vote or value) of the total
outstanding stock of such corporation if
the stock owned by such holder is publicly
traded,or(2)1%(byvoteorvalue)ofthe
total outstanding stock of such corporation
if the stock owned by such holder is not
publicly traded.See,e.g., §§1.355–5T(b)
and 1.368–3T(b). These regulations use
the definition of publicly traded stock
found elsewhere in the regulations.See,
2006–26 I.R.B.1150June 26, 2006

e.g., §§1.1092(d)–1(b), 1.1273–2(f) and
54.4975–7(b)(1)(iv).
In the case of securities, a significant
holder is a holder of securities of a corpo-
ration if at the time of the distribution or
exchange such holder owns securities with
a basis of $1,000,000 or more.
2.Regulations That Present Impediments
to E-filing
As described in this preamble in para-
graphs 2.A. and 2.B., certain regulations
impose reporting requirements that are im-
pediments to e-filing. The IRS and Trea-
sury Department are issuing these tempo-
rary regulations to eliminate such impedi-
ments without altering the substantive re-
quirements of the current regulations.
A.Statements required to be signed by the
taxpayer
Some regulations require a taxpayer to
include a statement on or with its return
in order to make an election, or notify
the IRS that the taxpayer is undertaking
a transaction authorized by that provision.
In the case of elections, the current regu-
lations often require the taxpayer to sign
such statement. In these circumstances,
the requirement that the taxpayer sign the
statement is an impediment to e-filing and
superfluous. By signing the return, a tax-
payer is attesting to the validity of the
Form 1120 as well as all of the attach-
ments. Accordingly, for these types of
statements, the underlying regulations are
amended to eliminate the requirement that
such statements be signed.
B.Statements required to be signed by
both the taxpayer and a third party
Some regulations require that the tax-
payer and another person sign a statement,
and that the taxpayer include such jointly
signed statement on or with its return. In
some cases, the taxpayer is required to pro-
vide a copy of this statement, or other in-
formation, to the other person and that per-
son is required to include such copy or in-
formation on or with its return.
These requirements are impediments to
e-filing. However, in such cases, the joint
signature requirement cannot simply be
eliminated because, in the absence of that
requirement, the taxpayer and the other
person might take inconsistent positions.
Therefore, these regulations amend the
provisions with a joint signature require-
ment to require the taxpayer and the other
person to include a statement on or with
its return indicating that it has entered into
an agreement with the other party address-
ing the substantive matters covered by
the statement required under the current
regulations. These agreements will con-
tain the same information as the jointly
signed statements required by the current
regulations. Each party will be required
to retain either the original or a copy of
this agreement as part of its records. See
§1.6001–1(e).
C.Section 1561
Section 1561(a) provides that the com-
ponent members of a controlled group
of corporations are limited to using the
amounts of the tax benefit items described
therein in the same manner as if they were
one corporation. Section 1561(a) gener-
ally provides that such amounts shall be
divided equally among such members.
However, section 1561(a) also provides
that if such members adopt an appor-
tionment plan, they are then permitted to
allocate such amounts among themselves
unequally. Section 1.1561–3(b) provides
the mechanism by which such members
may consent to an apportionment plan.
Section 1.1561–3(b) presents impedi-
ments to e-filing. However, the IRS and
Treasury Department have determined that
these impediments cannot be eliminated
without also addressing certain substantive
issues present in these regulations. Ad-
dressing these issues is beyond the scope
of this project. Therefore, these issues will
be addressed in separate guidance that the
IRS and Treasury Department expect to
publish later this year.
3.Requirement That Taxpayers Provide
the Fair Market Value and Basis of Assets
or Stock
Certain of these regulations require tax-
payers to provide in their reporting state-
ment the fair market value and basis of as-
sets or stock distributed or exchanged in
a transaction. The IRS and Treasury De-
partment recognize that, in some cases, a
taxpayer may not conveniently be able to
provide a precise valuation of property ex-
changed or distributed in a transaction that
is not taxable in the current year. In those
cases, for the purposes of these statements,
the IRS and Treasury Department will ac-
cept a taxpayer’s good faith estimate of
such fair market value.
Similarly, the IRS and Treasury Depart-
ment recognize that there are occasionally
situations where a taxpayer may not be
able to precisely determine its basis in a
taxable year in which that basis would not
be relevant to determining the taxpayer’s
taxable income. As in the case of fair mar-
ket value, for purposes of these statements,
the IRS and Treasury Department will in
these situations accept a taxpayer’s good
faith estimate of such basis.
4.Election to Restore Value Under
§1.382–8
In the case of a controlled group of cor-
porations, §1.382–8 provides that, for pur-
poses of determining the section 382 limi-
tation, the value of the stock of each com-
ponent member of the controlled group of
which the loss corporation is a component
member on the change date must be re-
duced by the value of the stock of any other
component member that such component
member directly owns immediately after
an ownership change. However, the com-
ponent member’s value may be increased
by the amount of value that such other
component member elects to restore.
The IRS and Treasury Department are
aware that taxpayers generally elect to re-
store value from component members that
are foreign corporations. The IRS and
Treasury Department are also aware that
taxpayers occasionally fail to make the
election timely and must file a request for
relief under §301.9100–1. Therefore, to
reduce unnecessary elections and section
9100 requests, §1.382–8T(h)(2) will deem
foreign component members to elect to re-
store full value to other component mem-
bers under §1.382–8. Nevertheless, should
such members not wish to restore the full
amount of such value, they may elect not to
restore all or part of such value. Further, a
foreign component member that has items
treated as connected with the conduct of a
trade or business in the United States that it
takes into account in determining its value
under section 382(e)(3) is not subject to
this deemed election.
The IRS and Treasury Department re-
quest comments regarding the scope and
June 26, 200611512006–26 I.R.B.

application of this deemed election to re-
store value.
5.Recordkeeping Requirement
The IRS and Treasury Department em-
phasize that although the amount of infor-
mation that a taxpayer is required to in-
clude on or with its return has, in most
cases, decreased, the taxpayer’s record-
keeping requirement remains unchanged.
Certain of these regulations illustrate the
type of information taxpayers are recom-
mended to keep in order to substantiate
their reporting position.
6.Rev. Proc. 2006–21
Contemporaneously with the issuance
of these temporary regulations, the IRS
and Treasury Department are releasing
Rev. Proc. 2006–21, 2006–24 I.R.B.
1050, to remove e-filing impediments and
reduce reporting requirements currently
found in Rev. Proc. 89–56, 1989–2 C.B.
643, Rev. Proc. 90–39, 1990–2 C.B. 365,
and Rev. Proc. 2002–32, 2002–1 C.B.
959. Each revenue procedure provides
a method for consolidated taxpayers to
request a specified consent or waiver from
the Commissioner without submitting a
request for a private letter ruling. In partic-
ular, Rev. Proc. 89–56 permits taxpayers
to request a consent to use a 52–53 week
tax year, Rev. Proc. 90–39 permits tax-
payers to request a consent to change the
method for allocating tax liability to mem-
bers for earnings and profits purposes, and
Rev. Proc. 2002–32 permits taxpayers to
request a waiver of the 60-month limita-
tion on reconsolidation.
7.§1.1502–35
These regulations also include a re-
vision to §1.1502–35 that is not related
to electronic filing or reporting require-
ments. The revision corrects an error in
the determination of the time period dur-
ing which suspended losses are reduced
under that section. Specifically, these reg-
ulations provide that this time period ends
on the day before the first date on which
the subsidiary (and any successor) is not a
member of the group.
Special Analysis
It has been determined that this Trea-
sury Decision is not asignificant regula-
tory action as defined in Executive Order
12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment
is not required. For the applicability of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chap-
ter 6), refer to the Special Analyses section
of the preamble to the cross-reference no-
tice of proposed rulemaking published in
this issue of the Bulletin. Pursuant to sec-
tion 7805(f) of the Code, these temporary
regulations will be submitted to the Chief
Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Busi-
ness Administration for comment on their
impact on small business.

The principal author of these regula-
tions is Grid Glyer, Office of Associate
Chief Counsel (Corporate). However,
other personnel from the IRS and Treasury
Department participated in their develop-
ment.

Par. 3. Section 1.302–2 is amended by:
1. Redesignating paragraph (b) as para-
graph (b)(1).
2. Revising newly designated para-
graph (b)(1).
3. Adding paragraphs (b)(2) and (d).
The additions and revisions read as fol-
lows:
§1.302–2 Redemptions not taxable as
dividends.
*****
(b)(1) The question whether a distri-
bution in redemption of stock of a share-
holder is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend under section 302(b)(1) depends
upon the facts and circumstances of each
case. One of the facts to be considered
in making this determination is the con-
structive stock ownership of such share-
holder under section 318(a). All distribu-
tions inpro rataredemptions of a part of
the stock of a corporation generally will be
treated as distributions under section 301 if
the corporation has only one class of stock
outstanding. However, for distributions in
partial liquidation, see section 302(e). The
redemption of all of one class of stock (ex-
cept section 306 stock) either at one time
or in a series of redemptions generally will
be considered as a distribution under sec-
tion 301 if all classes of stock outstanding
at the time of the redemption are held in
the same proportion. Distributions in re-
demption of stock may be treated as dis-
tributions under section 301 regardless of
the provisions of the stock certificate and
regardless of whether all stock being re-
deemed was acquired by the stockholders
from whom the stock was redeemed by
purchase or otherwise.

General rule. The amount of any loss sus-
pended pursuant to paragraphs (c)(1) and
(c)(2) of §1.1502–35 shall be reduced, but
not below zero, by the subsidiary’s (and
any successor’s) items of deduction and
loss, and the subsidiary’s (and any succes-
sor’s) allocable share of items of deduc-
tion and loss of all lower-tier subsidiaries,
that are allocable to the period beginning
on the date of the disposition that gave
rise to the suspended loss and ending on
the day before the first date on which the
subsidiary (and any successor) is not a
member of the group of which it was a
member immediately prior to the dispo-
sition (or any successor group), and that
are taken into account in determining con-
solidated taxable income (or loss) of such
group for any taxable year that includes
any date on or after the date of the dispo-
sition and before the first date on which
the subsidiary (and any successor) is not
a member of such group; provided, how-
ever, that such reduction shall not exceed
the excess of the amount of such items over
the amount of such items that are taken
into account in determining the basis ad-
justments made under §1.1502–32 to stock
of the subsidiary (or any successor) owned
by members of the group. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to items of deduc-
tion and loss to the extent that the group
can establish that all or a portion of such
items was not reflected in the computation
of the duplicated loss with respect to the
subsidiary on the date of the disposition of
stock that gave rise to the suspended loss.

ISSUE
Whether the real property interests de-
scribed in the situations below constitute
interests in a closely held business for pur-
poses of section 6166 of the Internal Rev-
enue Code.
FACTS
In each situation, the real property
interests are included in the decedent’s
gross estate and aggregate in value more
than 35 percent of the decedent’s adjusted
gross estate within the meaning of section
6166(b)(6). Further, in each situation the
only assets that might be part of a closely
held business are the interests described.
In each situation, the eligibility require-
ments of section 6166(b) regarding the
number of partners, members, or share-
holders or the percentage of capital interest
in the partnership or LLC or voting stock
in the corporation are satisfied.
Situation 1. A died on January 1, 2005.
At the time of death, A owned a ten store
strip mall titled in A’s name. A personally
handled the day-to-day operation, manage-
ment and maintenance of the strip mall.
A also personally handled most repairs.
When A was unable to personally perform
a repair, A hired a third party indepen-
dent contractor. A selected the contractor
and reviewed and approved the work per-
formed.
Situation 2. B died on February 1,
2005. At the time of death, B owned a
small office park titled in B’s name. The
office park consisted of five separate two-
story buildings, each of which had multiple
tenants. B hired DEF Management Cor-
poration (DEF), a property management
company in which B had no ownership in-
terest, to lease, manage, and maintain the
office park, and B relied entirely on DEF
to provide all necessary services. The pri-
mary duties of DEF’s employees consisted
of advertising to attract new tenants, show-
ing the property to prospective tenants, ne-
gotiating and administering leases, collect-
ing the monthly rent, and arranging for in-
dependent contractors to provide all neces-
sary services to maintain the buildings and
grounds of the office park, including snow
removal, security, and janitorial services.
DEF provided a monthly accounting state-
ment to B, along with a check for the rental
income, net of expenses and fees.
Situation 3. Same as Situation 2 except
that B owned 20 percent in value of the
stock of DEF.
Situation 4. C died on April 1, 2005. At
the time of death, C’s assets included the
one percent general partner interest and a
20 percent limited partnership interest in a
limited partnership. The limited partner-
ship owned three strip malls that, collec-
tively, constituted 85 percent of the value
of the limited partnership’s assets. The
partnership agreement required C, as the
general partner, to provide the limited part-
nership with all services necessary to oper-
ate the limited partnership’s business, in-
cluding daily maintenance to and repairs
of the strip malls. From 1992 until death,
C received an annual salary from the lim-
ited partnership for C’s services as general
partner. In performance of C’s obligations
under the limited partnership agreement,
C (either personally or with the assistance
of employees or agents) performed sub-
stantial management functions, including
collecting rental payments and negotiating
leases, performing daily maintenance and
repairs (or hiring, reviewing and approving
the work of third party independent con-
tractors for such work), and making deci-
sions regarding periodic renovations of the
three strip malls.
Situation 5. D died on May 1, 2005. At
the time of death, D owned 100 percent of
the stock in MNO Corporation (MNO), a
dealership in the business of selling auto-
mobiles, automotive parts and related sup-
plies, and repair services. D made all
decisions regardingMNO, including the
approval of all advertising and marketing
promotions, management and acquisition
of inventory, and matters relating to dealer-
ship personnel. D also supervised all em-
ployees of MNO. In addition to the stock
of MNO, D directly owned Real Prop-
erty P. Real Property P was constructed for
MNO and contained unique features tai-
lored to an automobile dealership, includ-
ing a showroom and office space and areas
for servicing automobiles and storing in-
ventory. D leased Real Property P to MNO
under a net lease, and MNO’s employees
performed all maintenance of and repairs
to Real Property P.
LAW
Section 6166(a)(1) of the Code permits
an executor to elect to pay part or all of the
estatetaximposedbysection2001intwo
or more (but not exceeding ten) equal in-
stallments if a decedent was a citizen or
resident of the United States on the date
of death, and if the value of an interest
in a closely held business (the “closely
held business amount” as defined in sec-
tion 6166(b)(5)) which is included in the
decedent’s gross estate exceeds 35 percent
of the adjusted gross estate.
Section 6166(b)(1) defines the term “in-
terest in a closely held business” to mean:
A. an interest as a proprietor in a trade
or business carried on as a proprietor-
ship;
B. an interest as a partner in a partnership
carrying on a trade or business, if— (i)
20 percent or more of the total capital
interest in such partnership is included
in determining the gross estate of the
decedent, or (ii) such partnership had
45 or fewer partners; or
C. stock in a corporation carrying on a
trade or business if— (i) 20 percent
or more in value of the voting stock
of such corporation is included in de-
termining the gross estate of the dece-
dent, or (ii) such corporation had 45 or
fewer shareholders.
I.R.C. § 6166(b)(1). The determination
as to whether an interest qualifies as an
interest in a closely held business under
section 6166(b)(1) shall be made as of the
time immediately before the decedent’s
death. I.R.C. § 6166(b)(2)(A). Thus, a
decedent must own an interest in a closely
held business immediately before death
to be eligible for an extension of time for
payment under section 6166.
Under section 6166(b)(9)(A), for pur-
poses of section 6166(a)(1) and determin-
ing the closely held business amount, the
value of an interest in a business does not
include the value of that portion of the in-
terest that is attributable to passive assets
2006–26 I.R.B.1172June 26, 2006

held by the business. The term “passive as-
set” is defined in section 6166(b)(9)(B)(i)
as any asset other than an asset used in car-
ryingonatradeorbusiness.
Revenue Ruling 75–366, 1975–2 C.B.
472, involved a decedent whose gross es-
tate included farm real estate operated by
tenant farmers. The decedent paid 40 per-
cent of the expenses, received 40 percent
of the crops, and actively participated in
important management decisions of the
tenant farms. The decedent made almost
daily visits to inspect and discuss farm op-
erations, and occasionally delivered sup-
plies to the tenants. The ruling held that
farming under these circumstances was a
productive enterprise like a manufacturing
enterprise and was distinguishable from
the mere management of investment as-
sets. Therefore, the decedent’s farm assets
constituted an interest in a closely held
business for purposes of section 6166.
Revenue Ruling 75–365, 1975–2 C.B.
471, also involved a decedent’s interest in
real estate. In that ruling, the Service con-
sidered a situation in which the decedent
individually maintained a fully equipped
business office to collect rental payments
on commercial and farm rental properties,
receive payments on notes receivable, ne-
gotiate leases, make occasional loans, and
direct by contract the maintenance of the
properties. The ruling held that the dece-
dent was merely an owner managing in-
vestment assets to obtain the income or-
dinarily expected from them, and was not
conducting a trade orbusiness. Therefore,
the commercial and farm rental properties
and notes receivable included in the dece-
dent’s gross estate did not constitute an in-
terest in a closely held business for pur-
poses of section 6166.
Revenue Ruling 75–367, 1975–2 C.B.
472, held that a decedent’s ownership
of 100 percent of the stock of an elect-
ing small business corporation that built
homes on land owned and developed by
the decedent, together with a business
office and warehouse used both by the
corporation and by the decedent in the
land development activities constituted
an interest in a closely held business.
The ruling held, however, that the eight
homes that were owned by the decedent
and rented to tenants and for which the
decedent collected rents, made the mort-
gage payments, and performed necessary
repairs and maintenance, did not consti-
tute an interest in a closely held business
because the decedent’s interest in those
homes merely represented an investment.
ANALYSIS
In order for an interest in a business
to qualify as an interest in a closely held
business under section 6166, a decedent
must conduct an active trade or business,
or must hold an interest in a partnership,
LLC, or corporation that itself carries on
an active trade or business. Based on
the definition of a passive asset in sec-
tion 6166(b)(9)(B)(i), section 6166 applies
only with regard to an active trade or busi-
ness, as distinguished from the mere man-
agement of investment assets.
In determining whether the activities of
the decedent, partnership, LLC or corpora-
tion constitute an active trade or business,
the activities of agents and employees of
the decedent, the partnership, LLC or cor-
poration are also takeninto consideration.
The fact that some of the activities are con-
ducted by third parties such as independent
contractors who are neither agents nor em-
ployees of the decedent, partnership, LLC
or corporation, will not prevent the busi-
ness from qualifying as an active trade or
business so long as these third-party activ-
ities are not of such a nature that the ac-
tivities of the decedent, partnership, LLC
or corporation (and their respective agents
and employees) are reduced to the level of
merely holding investment property.
Often, day-to-day real estate operations
and activities are performed by indepen-
dent contractors, such as property man-
agement companies. If a decedent, part-
nership, LLC, or corporation uses an un-
related property management company to
perform most of the activities associated
with the real estate interests, that fact sug-
gests that an active trade or business does
not exist.
To determine whether a decedent’s in-
terest in real property is an interest in an
asset used in an active trade or business,
the Service will consider all the facts and
circumstances, including the activities of
agents and employees, the activities of
management companies or other third par-
ties, and the decedent’s ownership interest
in any management company or other
third party. The Service will consider the
following nonexclusive list of factors:
•The amount of time the decedent (or
agents and employees of the decedent,
partnership, LLC, or corporation) de-
voted to the trade or business;
•Whether an office was maintained
from which the activities of the dece-
dent, partnership, LLC, or corporation
were conducted or coordinated, and
whether the decedent (or agents and
employees of the decedent, partner-
ship, LLC, or corporation) maintained
regular business hours for that pur-
pose;
•The extent to which the decedent (or
agents and employees of the decedent,
partnership, LLC, or corporation) was
actively involved in finding new ten-
ants and negotiating and executing
leases;
•The extent to which the decedent (or
agents and employees of the decedent,
partnership, LLC, or corporation) pro-
vided landscaping, grounds care, or
other services beyond the mere fur-
nishing of leased premises;
•The extent to which the decedent (or
agents and employees of the decedent,
partnership, LLC, or corporation) per-
sonally made, arranged for, performed,
or supervised repairs and maintenance
to the property (whether or not per-
formed by independent contractors),
including without limitation painting,
carpentry, and plumbing; and
•The extent to which the decedent (or
agents and employees of the decedent,
partnership, LLC, or corporation) han-
dled tenant repair requests and com-
plaints.
No single factor is dispositive of
whether a decedent’s activities with re-
spect to the real property (or the activities
of a partnership, LLC, or corporation
through which decedent owns the real
property) constitute an interest in a closely
held business for purposes of section 6166.
HOLDINGS
(1) InSituation 1, A provided signifi-
cant services to the strip mall tenants. A
personally handled the day-to-day oper-
ation, management and maintenance of
June 26, 200611732006–26 I.R.B.

the strip mall. A’s activities went beyond
those of a mere investor collecting profits
from a passive asset. Moreover, even in
situations in which A hired independent
contractors to perform repairs that A could
not perform personally, A was involved
in the selection of the contractors and re-
viewed and approved the work performed.
Under these circumstances, the use of in-
dependent contractors on occasions when
A could not personally perform the work
does not prevent A’s activities from rising
to the level of the conduct of an active
trade or business. Thus, A’s ownership
of the strip mall qualifies as an interest
in a closely held business for purposes of
section 6166. (The result would be the
same if the strip mall had instead been
held in a single-member LLC owned by
A, and the LLC were disregarded as an
entity that is separate from its owner under
§§301.7701–1 through 3 of the Procedure
and Administration Regulations.)
(2) InSituation 2, in determining
whether B was a proprietor carrying on an
active trade or business with respect to B’s
interest in the office park, the activities
of DEF Management Corporation (DEF)
and its relationship with B are taken into
account. DEF and its employees provided
all necessary services for B’s office park.
B had no ownership interest in DEF. B’s
reliance on DEF to perform all necessary
services, B’s lack of any significant par-
ticipation in the management or oversight
of the property, and B’s lack of any own-
ership interest in DEF are all factors that
weigh heavily against a finding that the of-
fice park was used by B in an active trade
or business. Thus, B was not a proprietor
in an active trade or business and B’s in-
terest in the office park does not qualify as
an interest in a closely held business for
purposes of section 6166.
(3) InSituation 3, DEF provided all
necessary services with regard to the man-
agement and maintenance of the office
park, including advertising to attract new
tenants, showing the property to prospec-
tive tenants, negotiating and administering
leases, collecting the monthly rent, and
arranging for third party independent con-
tractors to provide all necessary services
to maintain the buildings and grounds of
the office park, including snow removal,
security, and janitorial services. These
activities are sufficient to conclude that
DEF was actively managing the office
park. Because B owned a significant in-
terest in DEF, the activities of DEF with
regard to the office park allow B’s interest
intheofficeparktoqualifyasaninterest
in a closely held business for purposes of
section 6166.
(4) InSituation 4, the determination of
whether the limited partnership was carry-
ing on a trade or business for purposes of
section 6166 is made with reference to the
partnership’s activities. Because the lim-
ited partnership, rather than C, owned the
interest in the strip malls, the nature and
level of the activities of the limited partner-
ship must be evaluated. The limited part-
nership, acting through its general partner
C, handled the day-to-day operations and
management of the strip malls. The ac-
tivities of C on behalf of the limited part-
nership included (either personally or with
the assistance of employees or agents) per-
forming daily maintenance of and repairs
to the strip malls (or hiring, reviewing and
approving the work of third party indepen-
dent contractors for such work), collecting
rental payments, negotiating leases, and
making decisions regarding periodic ren-
ovations of the strip malls. Thus, the lim-
ited partnership carried on an active trade
or business. Because the strip malls were
used in carrying on the partnership’s ac-
tive trade or business, they are not pas-
sive assets under section 6166(b)(9) and
their value is not excluded from the value
of C’s interest in the partnership for pur-
poses of section 6166. C’s interest in the
limited partnership qualifies as an interest
in a closely held business for purposes of
section 6166. (Because C owned at least
20 percent of the partnership, the conclu-
sion would be the same even if C’s ac-
tivities were instead performed by another
employee, partner or agent of the partner-
ship).
(5) InSituation 5, MNO was engaged in
an automobile dealership business. Thus,
MNO was conducting an active trade or
business at the time of D’s death. Conse-
quently, D’s 100 percent stock interest in
MNO qualifies as an interest in a closely
held business. In addition, Real Property
P was used exclusively in the business of
MNO under a net lease from D. As in Sit-
uation 3, because D owned a significant
interest in MNO, whose activities with re-
gard to Real Property P constituted active
management, D’s interest in Real Property
P also qualifies as an interest in a closely
held business.

Part III. Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous
Deduction for Energy Efficient
Commercial Buildings
Notice 2006–52
SECTION 1. PURPOSE
This notice sets forth interim guidance,
pending the issuance of regulations, relat-
ing to the deduction for energy efficient
commercial buildings under § 179D of the
Internal Revenue Code. Specifically, this
notice sets forth a process that allows a tax-
payer who owns, or is a lessee of, a com-
mercial building and installs property as
part of the commercial building’s interior
lighting systems, heating, cooling, venti-
lation, and hot water systems, or building
envelope to obtain a certification that the
property satisfies the energy efficiency re-
quirements of § 179D(c)(1) and (d). This
notice also provides for a public list of soft-
ware programs that must be used in calcu-
lating energy and power consumption for
purposes of § 179D. The Internal Revenue
Service and the Treasury Department ex-
pect that the rules set forth in this notice
will be incorporated in regulations.
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
.01In General. Section1331ofthe
Energy Policy Act of 2005, Pub. L. No.
109–58, 119 Stat. 594 (2005), enacted
§ 179D of the Code, which provides a
deduction with respect to energy efficient
commercial buildings. Section 179D(a)
allows a deduction to a taxpayer for part
or all of the cost of energy efficient com-
mercial building property that the taxpayer
places in service after December 31, 2005,
and before January 1, 2008. (See section
2.02 of this notice.) Sections 179D(d)(1)
and 179D(f) allow a deduction to a tax-
payer for part or all of the cost of cer-
tain partially qualifying commercial build-
ing property that the taxpayer places in ser-
vice after December 31, 2005, and before
January 1, 2008. (See sections 2.03, 2.04,
and 2.05 of this notice.) For purposes of
this notice partially qualifying commercial
building property is property that would
be energy efficient commercial building
property but for the failure to achieve the
50-percent reduction in energy and power
costs required under section 2.02(1)(c) of
this notice.
.02Energy Efficient Commercial Build-
ing Property.
(1)In General. Energy efficient com-
mercial building property is depreciable
property that satisfies each of the follow-
ing conditions:
(a) The property is installed on or in
any building that is located in the United
States and is within the scope of Standard
90.1–2001. (See section 5.02 of this no-
tice for the description of buildings within
the scope of Standard 90.1–2001 and sec-
tion 5.06 of this notice for the complete de-
scription of Standard 90.1–2001.)
(b) The property is installed as part of—
(i) the interior lighting systems,
(ii) the heating, cooling, ventilation,
and hot water systems, or
(iii) the building envelope.
(c) It is certified that the interior light-
ing systems, heating, cooling, ventilation,
and hot water systems, and building en-
velope that have been incorporated into
the building, or that the taxpayer plans
to incorporate into the building subse-
quenttotheinstallationofsuchproperty,
will reduce the total annual energy and
power costs with respect to combined
usage of the building’s heating, cooling,
ventilation, hot water, and interior light-
ing systems by 50 percent or more as
compared to a Reference Building that
meets the minimum requirements of Stan-
dard 90.1–2001. The required 50-percent
reduction must be accomplished solely
through energy and power cost reductions
for the heating, cooling, ventilation, hot
water, and interior lighting systems. Re-
ductions in any other energy uses, such
as receptacles, process loads, refrigera-
tion, cooking, and elevators, are not taken
into account in determining whether the
50-percent reduction is achieved.
(2)Maximum Amount of Deduction.
(a)In General. The deduction for the
cost of energy efficient commercial build-
ing property installed on or in a building
shall not exceed the excess (if any) of—
(i) the product of $1.80 and the square
footage of the building, over
(ii) the aggregate amount of the § 179D
deductions allowed with respect to the
building for all prior taxable years.
(b)Application to Multiple Taxpayers.
If two or more taxpayers install energy ef-
ficient commercial building property on or
in the same building, the aggregate amount
of the § 179D deductions allowed to all
such taxpayers with respect to the building
shall not exceed the amount determined
under section 2.02(2)(a) of this notice.
.03Partially Qualifying Property: En-
ergy Efficient Lighting Property.
(1)In General. Energy efficient light-
ing property is partially qualifying prop-
erty, within the meaning of section 2.01
of this notice, that is subject to either the
permanent rule in section 2.03(1)(a) of
this notice or the interim rule in section
2.03(1)(b) of this notice.
(a)Permanent Rule. Partially qualify-
ing property is subject to the permanent
rule if it is installed as part of the interior
lighting systems of a building and it is cer-
tified that the interior lighting systems that
have been incorporated into the building,
or that the taxpayer plans to incorporate
into the building subsequent to the in-
stallation of such property, will reduce
the total annual energy and power costs
with respect to combined usage of the
building’s heating, cooling, ventilation,
hot water, and interior lighting systems
by 16
2
/3percent or more as compared to
a Reference Building that meets the mini-
mum requirements of Standard 90.1–2001.
The required 16
2
/3-percent reduction must
be accomplished solely through energy
and power cost reductions for the heat-
ing, cooling, ventilation, hot water, and
interior lighting systems. Reductions in
any other energy uses, such as recepta-
cles, process loads, refrigeration, cooking,
and elevators, are not taken into account
in determining whether the 16
2
/3-percent
reduction is achieved.
(b)Interim Rule. Partially qualifying
property, within the meaning of section
2.01 of this notice, is subject to the interim
rule if it is not subject to the permanent rule
in section 2.03(1)(a) of this notice, if it is
installed as part of the interior lighting sys-
tems of a building before the date on which
final regulations under section 179D are
published in the Federal Register, and it is
certified that the interior lighting systems
that have been incorporated into the build-

ing, or that the taxpayer plans to incorpo-
rate into the building,—
(i) Achieve a reduction in lighting
power density of at least 25 percent (50
percent in the case of a warehouse) of the
minimum requirements in Table 9.3.1.1
or Table 9.3.1.2 (not including additional
interior lighting power allowances) of
Standard 90.1–2001;
(ii) Have controls and circuiting that
comply fully with the mandatory and
prescriptive requirements of Standard
90.1–2001;
(iii) Include provision for bi-level
switching in all occupancies except hotel
and motel guest rooms, store rooms, re-
strooms, and public lobbies; and
(iv) Meet the minimum requirements
for calculated lighting levels as set forth
in the IESNA Lighting Handbook, Per-
formance and Application, Ninth Edition,
2000.
(2)Maximum Amount of Deduction.
(a)Property subject to the permanent
rule.
(i)In General. If the energy efficient
lighting property installed on or in a build-
ing is subject to the permanent rule in sec-
tion 2.03(1)(a) of this notice, the deduction
for the cost of the property shall not exceed
the excess (if any) of—
(A) the product of $0.60 and the square
footage of the building, over
(B) the aggregate amount of the § 179D
deductions allowed with respect to energy
efficient lighting property installed on or in
the building for all prior taxable years.
(ii)Application to Multiple Taxpayers.
If two or more taxpayers install energy ef-
ficient lighting property on or in the same
building and the property is subject to the
permanent rule in section 2.03(1)(a) of this
notice, the aggregate amount of the § 179D
deductions allowed to all such taxpayers
with respect to the building shall not ex-
ceed the amount determined under section
2.03(2)(a)(i) of this notice.
(b)Property subject to the interim rule.
(i)In General. If the energy efficient
lighting property installed on or in a build-
ing is subject to the interim rule in section
2.03(1)(b) of this notice, the deduction for
the cost of the property is equal to the ap-
plicable percentage of the deduction that
would be allowed if the property were sub-
ject to the permanent rule. In addition, the
deduction for the cost of the property shall
not exceed the excess (if any) of—
(A) the applicable percentage of the
product of $0.60 and the square footage of
the building, over
(B) the aggregate amount of the § 179D
deductions allowed with respect to energy
efficient lighting property installed on or in
the building for all prior taxable years.
(ii)Applicable percentage.Ifthein-
terior lighting systems of the building
achieve a reduction in lighting power den-
sity of at least 40 percent, the applicable
percentage for the building is 100 percent.
If the interior lighting systems of the build-
ing achieve a reduction in lighting power
density of less than 40 percent, the appli-
cable percentage for the building is 100
percent reduced at a rate of 3
1
/3percentage
points per percentage point by which 40
percent exceeds the percentage reduction
in lighting power density. For example,
if the interior lighting systems achieve a
reduction in lighting power density of 32.5
percent, the applicable percentage is 75
percent (100 - (3
1
/3x (40 - 32.5))).
(iii)Application to Multiple Taxpayers.
If two or more taxpayers install energy ef-
ficientlightingpropertyonorinthesame
building and the property is subject to the
interim rule in section 2.03(1)(b) of this
notice, the aggregate amount of the § 179D
deductions allowed to all such taxpayers
with respect to the building shall not ex-
ceed the amount determined under section
2.03(2)(b)(i) of this notice.
.04Partially Qualifying Property: En-
ergy Efficient Heating, Cooling, Ventila-
tion, and Hot Water Property.
(1)In General. Energy efficient heat-
ing, cooling, ventilation, and hot water
property is partially qualifying property,
within the meaning of section 2.01 of this
notice, that satisfies both of the following
conditions:
(a) The property is installed as part of
the heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot
water systems of a building; and
(b) It is certified that the heating, cool-
ing, ventilation, and hot water systems that
have been incorporated into the building,
or that the taxpayer plans to incorporate
into the building subsequent to the in-
stallation of such property, will reduce
the total annual energy and power costs
with respect to combined usage of the
building’s heating, cooling, ventilation,
hot water, and interior lighting systems
by 16
2
/3percent or more as compared to
a Reference Building that meets the mini-
mum requirements of Standard 90.1–2001.
The required 16
2
/3-percent reduction must
be accomplished solely through energy
and power cost reductions for the heat-
ing, cooling, ventilation, and hot water
systems. Reductions in any other energy
uses, such as receptacles, process loads,
refrigeration, cooking, and elevators, are
not taken into account in determining
whether the 16
2
/3-percent reduction is
achieved.
(2)MaximumAmountofDeduction.
(a)In General. The deduction for the
cost of energy efficient heating, cooling,
ventilation, and hot water property in-
stalled on or in a building shall not exceed
the excess (if any) of—
(i) the product of $0.60 and the square
footage of the building, over
(ii) the aggregate amount of the § 179D
deductions allowed with respect to energy
efficient heating, cooling, ventilation, and

the same building, the aggregate amount of
the § 179D deductions allowed to all such
taxpayers with respect to the building shall
not exceed the amount determined under
section 2.05(2)(a) of this notice.
SECTION 3. METHOD OF
COMPUTATION
.01In General. The Performance
Rating Method (PRM) must be used to
compute the percentage reduction in the
total annual energy and power costs with
respect to combined usage of a building’s
heating, cooling, ventilation, hot water,
and interior lighting systems as com-
pared to a Reference Building that meets
the minimum requirements of Standard
90.1–2001.
.02Performance Rating Method
(PRM). For purposes of this notice, the
PRM includes the following computa-
tions:
(1) Reference Building Energy and
Power Costs equal the sum of the energy
and power costs for the following compo-
nents of the Reference Building:
(a) Interior Lighting,
(b) Heating,
(c) Cooling,
(d) Ventilation, and
(e) Hot Water.
(2) Proposed Building Energy and
Power Costs equal the sum of the energy
and power costs for the same components
of the Proposed Building.
(3) Percentage Reduction in Energy and
Power Costs is determined by—
(a) Subtracting Proposed Building En-
ergy and Power Costs from Reference
Building Energy and Power Costs; and
(b) Expressing the difference as a per-
centage of Reference Building Energy and
Power Costs.
.03Reference Building. For purposes
of this notice, the Reference Building is
a building that is located in the same cli-
mate zone as the taxpayer’s building and
is otherwise comparable to the taxpayer’s
building except that its interior lighting
systems, heating, cooling, ventilation, and
hot water systems, and building enve-
lope meet the minimum requirements of
Standard 90.1–2001. The energy perfor-
mance of the Reference Building shall be
determined by following the methods for
baseline building performance in the PRM
in Appendix G of Standard 90.1–2004. In
calculating baseline building performance,
the Reference Building shall use the fol-
lowing additional requirements from the
2005 California Title 24 Nonresidential
Alternative Calculation Method (ACM)
Approval Manual:
(1) Number of occupants, occupant
sensible and latent heat loads, receptacle
loads, and hot water loads from ACM
Tables N2–2 for whole building values
and Table N2–3 for building area values
appropriate for mixed use buildings;
(2) Occupancy, HVAC, fans, infiltra-
tion, hot water, lighting, and equipment
schedules from ACM Tables N2–4 through
N2–9;
(3) Infiltration modeled following
ACM Section 2.4.1.6;
(4) Luminaire power for interior light-
ing systems from the 2005 California Title
24 Nonresidential ACM Appendix NB or
from manufacturers data.
.04Proposed Building.
(1)Energy Efficient Commercial Build-
ing Property. In computing energy and
power cost savings for purposes of sec-
tion 2.02 (relating to energy efficient com-
mercial building property), the Proposed
Building is a building that contains the in-
terior lighting systems, heating, cooling,
ventilation, and hot water systems, and
building envelope that have been incorpo-
rated, or that the taxpayer plans to incorpo-
rate, into the taxpayer’s building but that is
otherwise identical tothe Reference Build-
ing.
(2)Energy Efficient Lighting Property.
In computing energy and power cost sav-
ings for purposes of section 2.03 (relat-
ing to energy efficient lighting property),
the Proposed Building is a building that
contains the interior lighting systems that
have been incorporated (or that the tax-
payer plans to incorporate) into the tax-
payer’s building but that is otherwise iden-
tical to the Reference Building.
(3)Energy Efficient Heating, Cooling,
Ventilation, and Hot Water Property.In
computing energy and power cost savings
for purposes of section 2.04 (relating to
energy efficient heating, cooling, ventila-
tion, and hot water property), the Proposed
Building is a building that contains the
heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot wa-
ter systems that have been incorporated, or
that the taxpayer plans to incorporate, into
the taxpayer’s building but that is other-
wise identical to the Reference Building.
(4)Energy Efficient Building Envelope
Property. In computing energy and power
cost savings for purposes of section 2.05
(relating to energy efficient building enve-
lope property), the Proposed Building is a
building that contains the building enve-
lope that has been incorporated, or that the
taxpayer plans to incorporate, into the tax-
payer’s building but that is otherwise iden-
tical to the Reference Building.
SECTION 4. CERTIFICATION
Before a taxpayer may claim the § 179D
deduction with respect to property in-
stalledonorinacommercialbuilding,
the taxpayer must obtain a certification
with respect to the property. The certi-
fication must be provided by a qualified
individual and satisfy the requirements of
§ 179D(c)(1). A taxpayer is not required
to attach the certification to the return on
which the deduction is taken. However,
§ 1.6001–1(a) of the Income Tax Regu-
lations requires that taxpayers maintain
such books and records as are sufficient to
establish the entitlement to, and amount
of, any deduction claimed by the taxpayer.
Accordingly, a taxpayer claiming a deduc-
tion under § 179D should retain the certifi-
cation as part of the taxpayer’s records for
purposes of § 1.6001–1(a) of the Income
Tax Regulations. A certification will be
treated as satisfying the requirements of
§ 179D(c)(1) if the certification contains
all of the following:
June 26, 200611772006–26 I.R.B.

.01 The name, address, and telephone
number of the qualified individual.
.02 The address of the building to which
the certification applies.
.03 One of the following statements by
the qualified individual:
(1) Statement for energy efficient com-
mercial building property: The interior
lighting systems, heating, cooling, venti-
lation and hot water systems, and building
envelope that have been, or are planned
to be, incorporated into the building will
reduce the total annual energy and power
costs with respect to combined usage of
the building’s heating, cooling, ventila-
tion, hot water, and interior lighting sys-
tems by 50 percent or more as compared to
a Reference Building that meets the mini-
mum requirements of Standard 90.1–2001.

Clarification of Notice
2006–26
Notice 2006–53
On February 22, 2006, the Service is-
sued Notice 2006–26, 2006–11 I.R.B. 622.
This notice clarifies that section 4.04 of
Notice 2006–26 should read as follows:
.04 Specifically and Primarily De-
signed.A component is not specifically
and primarily designed to reduce heat loss
or gain of a dwelling unit if it provides
structural support or a finished surface,
as in the case of drywall or siding. In
addition, a component is not specifically
and primarily designed to reduce heat loss
or gain of a dwelling unit if its principal
purpose is to serve any function unrelated
to the reduction of heat loss or gain. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the
principal purpose of a component serves
functions unrelated to the reduction of
heat loss or gain if—
(1) Production costs attributable to fea-
tures other than those that reduce heat loss
or gain exceed production costs attribut-
able to features thatreduce heat loss or
gain; or
(2) The facts and circumstances other-
wise establish that the component’s prin-
cipal purpose is to serve a function other
than heat loss or gain.
Taxpayers who purchased siding on or
before June 26, 2006 may rely on a man-
ufacturer’s certification that the siding is
an Eligible Building Envelope Component
for purposes of the section 25C credit. A
manufacturer will not be subject to penal-
ties under § 7206 or § 6701 on account
of a certification thatsidingisanEligi-
ble Building Envelope Component under

Credit for New Qualified
Alternative Motor Vehicles
Notice 2006–54
SECTION 1. PURPOSE
This notice sets forth interim guid-
ance, pending the issuance of regulations,
relating to the new qualified alternative
fuel motor vehicle (QAFMV) credit under
§ 30B(a)(4) and (e) of the Internal Rev-
enue Code (including the reduced credit
under § 30B(e)(5) for mixed-fuel vehi-
cles). Specifically, this notice provides
procedures that a vehicle manufacturer
(or, in the case of a foreign vehicle manu-
facturer, its domestic distributor) may use
if it chooses to certify:
(1) that a vehicle of a particular make,
model, and year meets certain require-
ments that must be satisfied to claim the
new QAFMV credit under § 30B(a)(4)
and (e); and
(2) the amount of the credit allowable
with respect to that vehicle.
This notice also provides guidance to
taxpayers who purchase vehicles regard-
ing the conditions under which they may
rely on the vehicle manufacturer’s (or, in
the case of a foreign vehicle manufacturer,
its domestic distributor’s) certification in
determining whether a QAFMV credit is
allowable with respect to the vehicle, and
the amount of the credit. In addition, the
notice provides guidance with respect to
certain issues relating to qualification for
and computation of the credit. The Internal
Revenue Service and the Treasury Depart-
ment expect that the regulations will incor-
porate the rules set forth in this notice.
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
Section 30B(a)(4) provides for a credit
determined under § 30B(e) for certain new
QAFMVs. The credit is equal to the appli-
cable percentage of the incremental cost of
the new QAFMV. The minimum applica-
ble percentage for QAFMVs is 50 percent,
but the applicable percentage is 80 percent
2006–26 I.R.B.1180June 26, 2006

for qualified QAFMVs that meet the emis-
sions standards of § 30B(e)(2)(B)(i) or (ii)
(see section 7.03(2) of this notice).
Certain vehicles other than QAFMVs
(i.e., mixed-fuel vehicles described in sec-
tion 5.01 and 5.02 of this notice) may qual-
ify for a reduced credit under § 30B(e)(5).
Mixed-fuel vehicles are eligible for a re-
duced credit equal to either 70 percent
or 90 percent of the applicable credit
allowable under § 30B(a)(4). For this
purpose, the applicable credit allowable
under § 30B(a)(4) is the 80-percent credit
for mixed-fuel vehicles that satisfy the
emissions standards of § 30B(e)(2)(B)(i)
or (ii) and the 50-percent credit for other
mixed-fuel vehicles. The reduced credit
for mixed-fuel vehicles applies only to
vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight
rating of more than 14,000 pounds and that
can operate efficiently on a combination
of alternative fuel and a petroleum-based
fuel.
SECTION 3. SCOPE OF NOTICE
This notice provides certification pro-
cedures for the QAFMV credit under
§ 30B(a)(4) and (e). In addition, the no-
tice provides guidance with respect to
certain issues relating to qualification for
and computation of the QAFMV credit.
This notice does not address a number of
other issues that are common to all mo-
tor vehicles that qualify for credits under
§ 30B. These include: (1) the rules under
which lessors may claim the credits allow-
able under § 30B; (2) the rule preventing
thecreditsfrombeingusedtoreduceal-
ternative minimum tax liability; and (3)
recapture of the credits. The Service and
Treasury Department expect to issue sep-
arate guidance relating to these issues.
SECTION 4. MEANING OF TERMS
The following definitions apply for pur-
poses of this notice:
.01In General. Terms used in this no-
tice, but not specifically defined in this sec-
tion, have the same meaning as when used
in§30B.
.02Incremental Cost. The incremen-
tal cost of a new QAFMV or a mixed-fuel
vehicle is equal to the amount of the ex-
cess of the manufacturer’s suggested re-
tail price for the vehicle over the manufac-
turer’s suggested retail price for a gasoline
or diesel fuel motor vehicle of the same
model.
.03Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail
Price. If the manufacturer of a QAFMV
or a mixed-fuel vehicle is required under
15 U.S.C. § 1232 to provide a manufac-
turer’s suggested retail price for the ve-
hicle, then the manufacturer’s suggested
retail price for the vehicle is the price pro-
vided in accordance with 15 U.S.C. § 1232
for that vehicle. Similarly, if the manu-
facturer of a QAFMV or a mixed-fuel
vehicle is required under 15 U.S.C. § 1232
to provide a manufacturer’s suggested
retail price for a gasoline or diesel fuel
vehicle of the same model, then the man-
ufacturer’s suggested retail price for the
gasoline or diesel fuel vehicle is the price
provided in accordance with 15 U.S.C.
§ 1232 for that vehicle. In all other cases,
the manufacturer’s suggested retail price
is the amount the manufacturer (or in the
case of a foreign vehicle manufacturer, its
domestic distributor) specifies as the man-
ufacturer’s suggested retail price under
section 7.03(1)(g) and (h) of this notice.
.04Mixed Fuel. A mixed fuel is a com-
bination of an alternative fuel and a petro-
leum-based fuel.
SECTION 5. MIXED-FUEL VEHICLES
.0190/10 Mixed-Fuel Vehicles.A
mixed-fuel vehicle qualifies for a credit
equal to 90 percent of the applicable credit
allowable under § 30B(a)(4) only if the
vehicle is not able to perform efficiently in
normal operation unless its fuel contains
at least 90 percent alternative fuel and
not more than 10 percent petroleum-based
fuel.
.0275/25 Mixed-Fuel Vehicles.A
mixed-fuel vehicle qualifies for a credit
equal to 70 percent of the applicable credit
allowable under § 30B(a)(4) only if the
vehicle is not able to perform efficiently in
normal operation unless its fuel contains
at least 75 percent alternative fuel and
not more than 25 percent petroleum-based
fuel.
.03Mixed-Fuel Percentages. The per-
centages of alternative fuel and petroleum-
based fuel contained in a mixed fuel are
determined on the basis of the Btu con-
tent of the alternative fuel and the petro-
leum-based fuel. If the alternative fuel
contained in the mixed fuel is a liquid at
least 85 percent of the volume of which
consists of methanol, the Btu content of
any petroleum-based fuel included in such
liquid is treated, for purposes of determin-
ing the percentages, as part of the Btu con-
tent of the alternative fuel contained in the
mixed fuel and not as part of the Btu con-
tent of the petroleum-based fuel contained
in the mixed fuel.
SECTION 6. CONVERTED VEHICLES
.01In General. The definitions and
rules in this section apply solely with re-
spect to converted vehicles. For this pur-
pose, a converted vehicle is an alternative
fuel motor vehicle or a mixed-fuel vehi-
cle that was converted from a new or used
gasoline or diesel fuel motor vehicle.
.02Made by a Manufacturer. A con-
verted vehicle is made by a manufacturer
only if a person is required under title II of
the Clean Air Act (or as a condition of re-
ceiving an exemption from the tampering
prohibitions in § 203 of the Clean Air Act)
to obtain a certificate of conformity cov-
ering the converted vehicle or the engine
used in the converted vehicle.
.03Manufacturer. (1) Except as pro-
vided in section 6.03(2) of this notice, the
manufacturer of a converted vehicle is the
person required under title II of the Clean
Air Act (or as a condition of receiving
an exemption from the tampering prohibi-
tions in § 203 of the Clean Air Act) to ob-
tain the certificate of conformity covering
the converted vehicle or, if no person is so
required, the person required under title II
of the Clean Air Act (or as a condition of
receiving an exemption from the tamper-
ing prohibitions in § 203 of the Clean Air
Act) to obtain a certificate of conformity
covering the engine used in the converted
vehicle.
(2) If an importer of a converted vehi-
cle would be treated as the manufacturer
of the vehicle under section 6.03(1) of this
notice, the manufacturer is the person that
manufactured or assembled the vehicle. If
an importer of an engine would be treated
as the manufacturer of the converted vehi-
cle in which it is used under section 6.03(1)
of this notice, the manufacturer of the con-
verted vehicle is the person that manufac-
tured or assembled the engine.
.04Original Use. The original use
of the alternative fuel motor vehicle or
mixed-fuel vehicle commences with the
June 26, 200611812006–26 I.R.B.

first person to place the vehicle in service
after the conversion.

its fuel contains at least 75 percent alterna-
tive fuel and not more than 25 percent pe-
troleum-based fuel; and
(d) one of the following:
(i) a copy of the certificate of confor-
mity under the Clean Air Act; or
(ii) a copy of an order certifying that the
vehicle meets the same requirements as ve-
hicles that may be sold or leased in Califor-
nia, and evidence that the vehicle meets or
exceeds the applicable low emission vehi-
cle standard under 40 C.F.R § 88.105–94,
for that make and model year.
.04Acknowledgment. The Service will
review the original signed certification
and issue an acknowledgment letter to the
vehicle manufacturer (or, in the case of a
foreign vehicle manufacturer, its domes-
tic distributor) within 30 days of receipt
of the request for certification. This ac-
knowledgment letter will state whether
purchasers may rely on the certification.
.05Effect of Erroneous Certification.
The acknowledgment that the Service pro-
vides for a certification is not a determina-
tion that a vehicle qualifies for the credit,
or that the amount of the credit is correct.
The Service may, upon examination (and
after any appropriate consultation with De-
partment of Transportation or the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency), determine
that the vehicle is not a new QAFMV or
a mixed-fuel vehicle or that the amount of
the credit determined by the manufacturer
(or, in the case of a foreign vehicle manu-
facturer, its domestic distributor) to be al-
lowable with respect to the vehicle is in-
correct. In either event, the manufacturer’s
(or, in the case of a foreign vehicle manu-
facturer, its domestic distributor’s) right to
provide a certification to future purchasers
will be withdrawn, and purchasers who ac-
quire vehicles after the date on which the
Service publishes an announcement of the
withdrawal may not rely on the certifica-
tion. Purchasers may continue to rely on
the certification for vehicles they acquired
before the date on which the announce-
ment of the withdrawal is published (in-
cluding in cases in which the vehicle is
not placed in service and the credit is not
claimed until after that date), and the Ser-
vice will not attempt to collect any un-
derstatement of tax liability attributable to
such reliance. Manufacturers (or, in the
case of foreign manufacturers, their do-
mestic distributors)are reminded that an
erroneous certification may result in the
imposition of penalties—
(a) under § 7206 for fraud and making
false statements; and
(b) under § 6701 for aiding and abetting
an understatement of tax liability in the
amount of $1,000 ($10,000 in the case of
understatements by corporations) per re-
turn on which a credit is claimed in re-
liance on the certification.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
by cross-reference to temporary regula-
tions.
SUMMARY: In this issue of the Bulletin,
the IRS is issuing temporary regulations
(T.D. 9264) that simplify, clarify, or elimi-
nate reporting burdens. Those regulations
also eliminate regulatory impediments to
the electronic filing of certain statements
that taxpayers are required to include on or
with their Federal income tax returns. The

Washington, D.C. 20224. Comments on
the collection of information should be
received by August 28, 2006. Comments
are specifically requested concerning:
Whether the proposed collection of in-
formation is necessary for the proper per-
formance of the functions of theInternal
Revenue Service, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
The accuracy of the estimated burden
associated with the proposed collection of
information (see below);
How the quality, utility and clarity of
the information to be collected may be en-
hanced;
How the burden of complying with the
proposed collection of information may be
minimized, including through the appli-
cation of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information technology;
and
Estimates of capital or start-up costs
and costs of operation, maintenance and
purchase of service to provide information.
The collection of information in these
proposed regulations is in each of the cor-
responding temporary regulations.
The proposed regulations simplify,
clarify, or eliminate reporting burdens.
These regulations also eliminate regula-
tory impediments to the electronic filing
of certain statements that taxpayers are re-
quired to include on or with their Federal
income tax returns.
The collection of information is manda-
tory. The likely respondents are large cor-
porations, many of which will be members
of a consolidated group and/or component
members of a controlled group.
Estimated total annual reporting bur-
den: 262,500 hours.
Estimated average annual burden hours
per respondent: 0.75 hours.
Estimated number of respondents:
350,000.

a valid control number assigned by the Of-
fice of Management and Budget.
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 and Explanation of
Provisions
Temporary Regulations in this issue
of the Bulletin amend 26 CFR Part 1 to
add §§1.302–2T, 1.302–4T, 1.331–1T,
1.332–6T,1.338–10T,1.351–3T,
1.355–5T, 1.368–3T, 1.381(b)–1T,
1.382–8T, 1.382–11T, 1.1081–11T,
1.1221–2T, 1.1502–13T, 1.1502–31T,
1.1502–32T, 1.1502–33T, 1.1502–35T,
1.1502–76T, 1.1502–95T, 1.1563–1T,
1.1563–3T, and amend Part 602 to add
§1.6012–2T. The text of those temporary
regulations also serves as the text of these
proposed regulations. The preamble to
the temporary regulations explains the
amendments.
Special Analysis
It has been determined that this no-
tice of proposed rulemaking is not a
significant regulatory action as defined
in Executive Order 12866. Therefore,
a regulatory 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 the following proposed regulations:
§§1.302–2, 1.302–4, 1.331–1, 1.332–6,
1.351–3, 1.355–5, 1.368–3, 1.381(b)–1,
1.1081–11, 1.1563–1, 1.1563–3, and
2006–26 I.R.B.1184June 26, 2006

1.6012–2. With respect to the collec-
tions of information in such regula-
tions, and with respect to the follow-
ing proposed regulations, §§1.338–10,
1.382–8, 1.382–11, 1.1221–2, 1.1502–13,
1.1502–31, 1.1502–32, 1.1502–33,
1.1502–35, 1.1502–76 and 1.1502–95,
it is hereby certified that these provisions
will not have a significant economic im-
pact on a substantial number of small
entities. This certification is based on the
fact that these regulations primarily affect
large corporations (which are members of
either controlled or consolidated groups)
and in the case of all corporations will sub-
stantially reduce or eliminate the existing
reporting burden. Therefore, a regulatory
flexibility analysis is not required. Pur-
suant to section 7805(f) of the Internal
Revenue Code, these proposed regulations
have been submitted to the Chief Counsel
for Advocacy of the Small Business Ad-
ministration for comment on their impact
on small business.
Comments and Requests for a Public
Hearing
Before these proposed regulations are
adopted as final regulations, consideration
will be given to any written comments
(a signed original and eight (8) copies)
or electronic comments that are submitted
timely to the IRS. All comments will be
available for public inspection and copy-
ing. A public hearing may be scheduled
ifrequestedinwritingbyanypersonthat
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 these regula-
tions is Grid Glyer of the Office of As-
sociate Chief Counsel(Corporate). Other
personnel from the Treasury Department
and the IRS participated in their develop-
ment.

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.
