The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instrument
of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for announcing offi-
cial rulings and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service
and for publishing Treasury Decisions, Executive Orders, Tax
Conventions, 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 consolidated 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,
modify, or amend any of those previously published in the
Bulletin. All published rulings apply retroactively unless other-
wise indicated. Procedures relating solely to matters of in-
ternal management 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 Unpublished rulings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 pub-
lished rulings and procedures, the effect of subsequent leg-
islation, regulations, court decisions, rulings, and proce-
dures must be considered, and Service personnel and oth-
ers concerned are cautioned against reaching the same con-
clusions in other cases unless the facts and circumstances
are substantially the same.
The Bulletin is divided into four parts as follows:
Part I.—1986 Code.
This part includes rulings and decisions based on provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Part II.—Treaties and Tax Legislation.
This part is divided into two subparts as follows: Subpart A,
Tax Conventions, and Subpart B, Legislation 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 Sub-
parts. Also included in this part are Bank Secrecy Act Admin-
istrative Rulings. Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings
are issued by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the
Assistant Secretary (Enforcement).
Part IV.—Items of General Interest.
This part includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbar-
ment and suspension lists, and announcements.
The first 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 first Bulletin of the succeeding semi-
annual period, respectively.
The IRS Mission
Provide America’s taxpayers top quality service by help-
ing them understand and meet their tax responsibilities

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Paperwork Reduction Act
The collection of information contained
in this notice of proposed rulemaking has
been submitted to the Office of Manage-
ment and Budget for review in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3507(d)). Comments on the
collection of information should be sent to
the Office of Management and Budget,
Attn: Desk Officer for the Department of
the Treasury, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Washington, DC
20503, with copies to the Internal Rev-
enue Service,Attn: IRS Reports Clearance
Officer, W:CAR:MP:FP:S:O, Washington,
DC 20224. Comments on the collection of
information should be received by Decem-
ber 19, 2000. Comments are specifically
requested concerning:
Whether the proposed collection of in-
formation is necessary for the proper per-
formance of the functions of the Internal
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 ap-
plication of automated collection tech-
niques or other forms of information tech-
nology; and
Estimates of capital or start-up costs and
costs of operation, maintenance, and pur-
chase of service to provide information.
The collection of information in this
proposed regulation is in §20.6081–1(b).
To receive an extension of time to file an
estate tax return, the executor of a dece-
dent’s estate must file Form 4768, “Appli-
cation for Extension of Time To File a Re-
turn and/or Pay U.S. Estate (and
Generation-Skipping Transfer) Taxes.”
This information is required to obtain a
benefit (an automatic 6-month extension
of time to file an estate tax return). The
collection of information is mandatory if
the extension is requested. The likely re-
spondents are executors of decedents’ es-
tates.
The reporting burden contained in
§20.6081–1(b) is reflected in the burden
of Form 4768, “Application for Extension
of Time To File a Return and/or Pay U.S.
Estate (and Generation-Skipping Trans-
fer) Taxes.”
An agency may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it dis-
plays a valid control number assigned by
the Office of Management and Budget.
Books or records relating to a collec-
tion of information must be retained as
long as their contents may become mater-
ial in the administration of any internal
revenue law. Generally, tax returns and
tax information are confidential, as re-
quired by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
Background
In 1970, Congress amended section
6075(a) to provide that the Federal estate
tax return is to be filed within 9 months
after the date of the decedent’s death.
Section 6081(a) provides that the Secre-
tary may grant a reasonable extension of
time for filing any return; however, ex-
cept in the case of taxpayers who are
abroad, no such extension may be for
more than 6 months.
Under the current regulations, the dis-
trict director or the service center has the
discretion to grant an extension of time to
file an estate tax return upon a showing
of “good and sufficient cause.” Except in
the case of executors who are abroad, the
extension may not be granted for more
than 6 months. Requests for an extension
of time to file are made by completing
Form 4768, “Application for Extension
of Time To File a Return and/or Pay U.S.
Estate (and Generation-Skipping Trans-
fer) Taxes.” Upon receipt of a Form
4768, the IRS reviews the application,
makes a determination, and notifies the
applicant as to whether an extension is
approved and, if so, the length of the ex-
tension.
Part IV. Items of General Interest

In 1998, 110,100 estate tax returns
were filed. In a significant number of
these cases, the executors requested an
extension of time to file. A majority of
the applications requested and received
the maximum 6-month extension allowed
by the statute and the regulations. The
IRS and the Treasury Department believe
that executors of decedents’ estates would
benefit from the certainty created by an
automatic 6-month extension of time to
file Form 706 and that it is appropriate to
provide for the extension.
Explanation of Provisions
Under the proposed regulations the ex-
ecutor of a decedent’s estate will be al-
lowed an automatic 6-month extension of
time to file Form 706, “United States Es-
tate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer)
Tax Return,” beyond the 9 months pro-
vided for by section 6075(a). The applica-
tion for the automatic extension must be
submitted on Form 4768 (or in any other
manner as may be prescribed by the Com-
missioner). The application must be filed
with the IRS on or before the date pre-
scribed by section 6075(a) for filing the
Form 706 and it must include an estimate
of the full amount of tax due. The auto-
matic extension of time does not apply to
filers of Forms 706-A, 706-D or 706-NA
who will continue to use Form 4768 to re-
quest extensions of time to file and pay es-
tate taxes. The automatic extension of
time also does not apply to filers of Form
706-QDT who will continue to request any
extension of time as provided in the in-
structions for Form 706-QDT. The pro-
posed regulations continue to permit ex-
ecutors who are abroad to request
extensions beyond the automatic 6-month
period.
A return as complete as possible must
be filed before the expiration of the auto-
matic 6-month extension period. The re-
turn as filed will be the return required by
section 6018(a)(1). An extension of time
for filing the return does not operate to
extend the time for payment of the tax.
The proposed regulations also revise
§20.6075–1 to conform to the changes
proposed in §20.6081–1.
Special Analysis
It has been determined that this notice
of proposed rulemaking is not a signifi-
cant regulatory action as defined in Exec-
utive Order 12866. Therefore, a regula-
tory assessment is not required. It also
has been determined that section 553(b)
of the Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to these
regulations, and because these regulations
do not impose a collection of information
on small entities, the Regulatory Flexibil-
ity Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not
apply. Therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis is not required. Pursuant to sec-
tion 7805(f) of the Internal Revenue
Code, the regulations will be submitted to
the Small Business Administration for
comment on their impact on small busi-
ness.
Comments and Public Hearing
Before these proposed regulations are
adopted as final regulations, considera-
tion will be given to any written (a signed
original and eight (8) copies) or electronic
comments that are submitted timely (in
the manner described in ADDRESSES) to
the IRS. Treasury and the IRS specifi-
cally request comments on the clarity of
the proposed regulations and how they
can be made easier to understand. All
comments will be available for public in-
spection and copying.
A public hearing has been scheduled
for January 24, 2001, at 10 a.m. in Room
4716, Internal Revenue Building, 1111
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,
DC. Due to building security procedures,
visitors must enter at the 10th Street en-
trance, located between Constitution and
Pennsylvania Avenues, NW. In addition,
all visitors must present photo identifica-
tion to enter the building. Because of ac-
cess restrictions, visitors will not be ad-
mitted beyond the immediate entrance
area more than 15 minutes before the
hearing starts. For information about
having your name placed on the building
access list to attend the hearing, see the
“FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT” section of this preamble.
The rules of 26 CFR 601.601(a)(3)
apply to the hearing.
Persons that wish to present oral com-
ments at the hearing must submit com-
ments by January 3, 2001, and submit an
outline of the topics to be discussed and
the time to be devoted to each topic
(signed original and eight (8) copies) by
January 3, 2001. A period of 10 minutes
will be allotted to each person for making
comments. An agenda showing the
scheduling of the speakers will be pre-
pared after the deadline for receiving out-
lines has passed. Copies of the agenda
will be available free of charge at the
hearing.
Drafting Information
The principal author of these proposed
regulations is Mary A. Berman, Office of the
Associate Chief Counsel (Passthroughs and
Special Industries), IRS. However, other
personnel from the IRS and Treasury De-
partment participated in their development.

Proposed Amendments to the
Regulations
Accordingly, 26 CFR part 20 is pro-
posed to be amended as follows:
PART 20—ESTATE TAX; ESTATES OF
DECEDENTS DYING AFTER
AUGUST 16, 1954
Paragraph 1. The authority citation for
part 20 is amended by adding an entry in
numerical order to read in part as follows:
Authority: 26 U.S.C. 7805 * * *
Section 20.6081–1 also issued under 26
U.S.C. 6081(a). * * *
Par. 2. Section 20.6075–1 is revised to
read as follows:
§20.6075–1 Returns; time for filing estate
tax return.
The estate tax return required by sec-
tion 6018 must be filed on or before the
due date. The due date is the date on or
before which the return is required to be
filed in accordance with the provisions of
section 6075(a) or the last day of the pe-
riod covered by an extension of time as
provided in §20.6081–1. The due date,
for a decedent dying after December 31,
1970, is, unless an extension of time for
filing has been obtained, the day of the
ninth calendar month after the decedent’s
death numerically corresponding to the
day of the calendar month on which death
occurred, except that, if there is no nu-
merically corresponding day in such ninth
month, the last day of the ninth month is
the due date. For example, if the decedent
dies on July 31, 2000, the estate tax return
and tax payment must be made on or be-
fore April 30, 2001. When the due date
falls on Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holi-
November 6, 20004662000–45 I.R.B.

2000–45 I.R.B.467November 6, 2000
day, the due date for filing the return is
the next succeeding day that is not Satur-
day, Sunday, or a legal holiday. For the
definition of a legal holiday, see section
7503 and §301.7503–1 of this chapter. As
to additions to the tax in the case of fail-
ure to file the return or pay the tax within
the prescribed time, see section 6651 and
§301.6651–1 of this chapter. For rules
with respect to the right to elect to have
the property valued as of a date or dates
subsequent to the decedent’s death, see
section 2032 and §20.2032–1, and section
7502 and §301.7502–1 of this chapter.
This section applies to estates of dece-
dents dying after August 16, 1954.
Par. 3. Section 20.6081–1 is revised to
read as follows:
§20.6081–1 Extension of time for filing
the return.
(a) Extensions of time for good cause
shown. Where it is impossible or imprac-
ticable to file a reasonably complete re-
turn within the time prescribed by statute,
the person required to file the return may
request an extension of time for filing.
Except as provided in paragraph (b) of
this section, an extension of time for fil-
ing an estate tax return is not automatic
and is within the discretion of the Internal
Revenue Service. Unless the person re-
quired to file the return is abroad, an ex-
tension may not be granted for more than
6 months from the filing date prescribed
by statute. Requests for an extension of
time for filing are made by submitting
Form 4768, “Application for Extension of
Time To File a Return and/or Pay U.S. Es-
tate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer)
Taxes.” The application must contain a
full recital of the causes for the delay. It
should be filed with the Internal Revenue
Service office designated in the applica-
tion’s instructions (except as provided in
§301.6091–1(b) of this chapter for hand-
carried documents). The application
should, where possible, be filed suffi-
ciently early to permit the Internal Rev-
enue Service time to consider the matter
and reply before what otherwise would be
the due date of the return. Failure to file
the application before the expiration of
the time within which the return other-
wise must be filed may indicate negli-
gence and constitute sufficient cause for
denial of the extension.
(b) Automatic extension—(1) Applica-
tion for extension. Executors who are re-
quired to file Form 706, “United States
Estate (and Generation-Skipping Trans-
fer) Tax Return,” may request an auto-
matic 6-month extension of time beyond
the date prescribed in section 6075(a) for
filing the return by submitting Form
4768, “Application for Extension of Time
To File a Return and/or Pay U. S. Estate
(and Generation-Skipping Transfer)
Taxes.” An automatic extension will be
allowed if—
(i) The application is filed on or before
the date prescribed in section 6075(a) for
filing the return;
(ii) The application is filed with the In-
ternal Revenue Service office designated
in the application’s instructions (except as
provided in §301.6091–1(b) of this chap-
ter for hand-carried documents); and
(iii) The application includes an esti-
mate of the amount of estate and genera-
tion-skipping transfer tax liability with re-
spect to the estate.
(2) Executors who are abroad. If an
executor who is abroad has received an
automatic 6-month extension, the execu-
tor may request an additional extension of
time by following the procedures in para-
graph (a) of this section.
(c) Filing the return. A return as com-
plete as possible must be filed before the
expiration of the extension period. The
return thus filed will be the return re-
quired by section 6018(a), and any tax
shown on the return will be the amount
determined by the executor as the tax re-
ferred to in section 6161(a)(2), or the
amount shown as the tax by the taxpayer
upon the taxpayer’s return referred to in
section 6211(a)(1)(A). The return cannot
be amended after the expiration of the ex-
tension period although supplemental in-
formation may subsequently be filed that
may result in a finally determined tax dif-
ferent from the amount shown as the tax
on the return.
(d) Payment of the tax. An extension of
time for filing a return does not operate to
extend the time for payment of the tax. See
§20.6151–1 for the time for payment of the
tax, and §§20.6161–1 and 20.6163–1 for
extensions of time for payment of the tax.
(e) Effective date. This section applies to
estates of decedents dying after August 16,
1954, except for paragraph (b) of this sec-
tion which applies to estate tax returns due
after the date these regulations are pub-
lished as a final regulation in the Federal
Register.

New U.S.–Ukraine Income Tax
Treaty
(Addition to Publications 515
and 901)
Announcement 2000–89
The United States recently exchanged in-
struments of ratification for a new income
tax treaty with Ukraine. The provisions
for taxes withheld on interest, dividends,
and royalties are effective for amounts
paid or credited on or after August 1,
2000. For other taxes, the provisions are
effective for tax periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2001.
Previously, residents of Ukraine were
covered under the treaty between the
United States and the former Soviet
Union. A person entitled to benefits under
that treaty can elect to have that treaty
apply in its entirety for the first tax year
for which the new treaty would otherwise
apply. A person claiming benefits under
Article III(1)(d) of the treaty between the
United States and the former Soviet
Union can elect to have the treaty apply in
its entirety for the duration of the period
of benefits provided by that subpara-
graph.
This announcement provides additions to
Tables 1 and 2 in Publication 515, With-
holding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and
Foreign Corporations (For Withholding
in 2000),and Publication 901, U.S. Tax
Treaties, to reflect the provisions of the
new treaty. The footnotes in Publication
515 that relate to the column headings in
these tables generally apply to this new
treaty.

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
effect:
Amplified describes a situation where
no change is being made in a prior pub-
lished position, but the prior position is
being extended to apply to a variation of
the fact situation set forth therein. Thus,
if an earlier ruling held that a principle
applied to A, and the new ruling holds
that the same principle also applies to B,
the earlier ruling is amplified. (Compare
with modified, below).
Clarified is used in those instances
where the language in a prior ruling is
being made clear because the language
has caused, or may cause, some confu-
sion. It is not used where a position in a
prior ruling is being changed.
Distinguisheddescribes a situation
where a ruling mentions a previously
published ruling and points out an essen-
tial difference between them.
Modified is 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 ap-
plies to both A and B, the prior ruling is
modified because it corrects a published
position. (Compare with amplified and
clarified, above).
Obsoleted describes 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
rulings that are obsoleted because of
changes in law or regulations. A ruling
may also be obsoleted because the sub-
stance has been included in regulations
subsequently adopted.
Revoked describes situations where the
position in the previously published rul-
ing is not correct and the correct position
is being stated in the new ruling.
Superseded describes a situation where
the new ruling does nothing more than
restate the substance and situation of a
previously published ruling (or rulings).
Thus, the term is used to republish under
the 1986 Code and regulations the same
position published under the 1939 Code
and regulations. The term is also used
when it is desired to republish in a single
ruling a series of situations, names, etc.,
that were previously published over a pe-
riod of time in separate rulings. If the
new ruling does more than restate the
substance of a prior ruling, a combination
of terms is used. For example, modified
and superseded describes a situation
where the substance of a previously pub-
lished 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 published ruling is first
modified and then, as modified, is super-
seded.
Supplemented is 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 ruling has been supplemented
several times, a new ruling may be pub-
lished that includes the list in the original
ruling and the additions, and supersedes
all prior rulings in the series.
Suspended is used in rare situations to
show that the previous published rulings
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.
