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 Unpublished rulings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
and by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to
all.

Section 42.—Low-Income
Housing Credit
Low-income housing credit; satisfac-
tory bond; “bond factor” amounts for
the period April through June 2000.
This ruling announces the monthly bond
factor amounts to be used by taxpayers
who dispose of qualified low-income
buildings or interests therein during the
period April through June 2000.
Rev. Rul. 2000–31
In Rev. Rul. 90–60, 1990–2 C.B. 3, the
Internal Revenue Service provided guid-
ance to taxpayers concerning the general
methodology used by the Treasury De-
partment in computing the bond factor
amounts used in calculating the amount of
bond considered satisfactory by the Sec-
retary under § 42(j)(6) of the Internal
Revenue Code. It further announced that
the Secretary would publish in the Inter-
nal Revenue Bulletin a table of “bond fac-
tor” amounts for dispositions occurring
during each calendar month.
This revenue ruling provides in Table 1
the bond factor amounts for calculating
the amount of bond considered satisfac-
tory under § 42(j)(6) for dispositions of
qualified low-income buildings or inter-
ests therein during the period April
through June 2000.

cise taxes. This document also contains
final regulations related to floor stocks
taxes and affects persons liable for those
taxes. The regulations implement
changes made by the Small Business Job
Protection Act of 1996 and the Airport
and Airway Trust Fund Tax Reinstate-

ment Act of 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Temporary regulations (T.D. 8740,
1998–1 C.B. 289) relating to the safe har-
bor deposit rule based on look-back quar-
ter liability and to floor stock taxes were
published in the Federal Register on De-
cember 29, 1997 (62 F.R. 67568) along
with a notice of proposed rulemaking
(REG–102894–97, 1998–1 C.B. 344)
cross-referencing the temporary regula-
tions (62 F.R. 67589). Written comments
and requests for a public hearing were so-
licited. However, no comments or re-
quests were received and no public hear-
ing was held.
The proposed regulations are adopted
without revision by this Treasury deci-
sion.
Effect on Other Documents
The following publication is obsolete
as of June 8, 2000:
Notice 97–15, 1997–1 C.B. 387.
Special Analyses
It has been determined that this Trea-
sury decision is not a significant regula-
tory action as defined in Executive Order
12866. Therefore, a regulatory assess-
ment is not required. It also has been de-
termined that section 553(b) of the Ad-
ministrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
chapter 5) does not apply to these regula-
tions and, because these regulations do
not impose on small entities a collection
of information requirement, the Regula-
tory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6)
does not apply. Therefore, a Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis is not required. Pur-
suant to section 7805(f) of the Internal
Revenue Code, the notice of proposed
rulemaking was submitted to the Chief
Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Busi-
ness Administration for comment on its
impact on small business.
Drafting Information
The principal author of these regula-
tions is Susan Athy, Office of Assistant
Chief Counsel (Passthroughs and Special
Industries). However, other personnel
from the IRS and Treasury Department
participated in their development.

(Also, Part I, § 401; § 1.401(b)–1.)
Rev. Proc. 2000–27
SECTION 1. PURPOSE
.01 This revenue procedure opens the
Internal Revenue Service’s determination
letter program to allow sponsors of quali-
fied plans to obtain determination letters
that take into account all the changes in
the qualification requirements made by
“GUST,” including those changes made
by the Small Business Job Protection Act
of 1996, Pub. L. 104–188 (“SBJPA”), that
are first effective in plan years beginning
after December 31, 1998. This procedure
also extends until the last day of the first
plan year beginning on or after January 1,
2001, the remedial amendment period
under § 401(b) of the Code for amending
plans for GUST, as well as the TRA ‘86
remedial amendment period for govern-
mental and nonelecting church plans. Fi-
nally, this revenue procedure extends by
an additional year the period of extended
reliance for certain plans that received fa-
vorable determination, opinion, or notifi-
cation letters under TRA ‘86.
.02 The term “GUST” refers to the fol-
lowing:
1 the Uruguay Round Agreements Act,
Pub. L. 103–465 (“GATT”);
2 the Uniformed Services Employment
and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994,
Pub. L. 103–353 (“USERRA”);
3 SBJPA;
4 the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, Pub.
L. 105–34 (“TRA ‘97”); and
5 the Internal Revenue Service Re-
structuring and Reform Act of 1998, Pub.
L. 105–206 (“RRA ‘98”).
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
.01 Prior to June 26, 2000, plan spon-
sors could not request determination let-
ters under § 401(a) or § 403(a) that take
into account the changes in the qualifica-
tion requirements made by SBJPA that are
first effective in plan years beginning
after December 31, 1998, unless the de-
termination related to a terminating plan.
Instead, sponsors of individually-de-
signed plans, including volume submitter
plans, could request letters that take into
account all the changes in the qualifica-
tion requirements made by GUST other
than those changes made by SBJPA that
are first effective in plan years beginning
after December 31, 1998. (These letters
are referred to in this revenue procedure
as “GUST I letters.”) Alternatively, spon-
sors of individually-designed plans, in-
cluding volume submitter plans, had the
option to request determination letters
that do not take into account any of the
changes made by GUST, except for
changes to § 401(a)(26) and § 414(n).
(These letters are referred to as “pre-
GATT letters.”) Determination letters for
master or prototype (M&P) or regional
prototype plans that have not yet been
amended by their sponsors for GUST do
not consider the changes made by GUST.
See Rev. Proc. 98–14, 1998–1 C.B. 371,
as modified by Rev. Proc. 98–53, 1998–2
C.B. 456, and section 3.03 of Rev. Proc.
2000–6, 2000–1 I.R.B. 187.
.02 Proposed regulations (REG–
109101–98, 2000–16 I.R.B. 903) under
§ 411(d)(6), which were published in the
Federal Registeron March 29, 2000 (65
F.R. 16546), would permit qualified de-
fined contribution plans to be amended to
eliminate some alternative forms in which
an account balance can be paid under cer-
tain circumstances, and would permit cer-
tain transfers between defined contribu-
tion plans that are not permitted under
regulations now in effect. The proposed
regulations are proposed to be effective
upon publication of final regulations in
the Federal Registerand cannot be relied
upon before finalization.
.03 Under § 401(b), plan sponsors have
a remedial amendment period in which to
adopt GUST plan amendments. Rev.
Proc. 99–23, 1999–16 I.R.B. 5, provides
that the GUST remedial amendment pe-
riod for nongovernmental plans ends on
the last day of the first plan year begin-
ning on or after January 1, 2000. For gov-
ernmental plans, as defined in § 414(d),
the GUST remedial amendment period
ends on the later of (i) the last day of the
last plan year beginning before January 1,
2001, or (ii) the last day of the first plan
year beginning on or after the “1999 leg-
islative date” (that is, the 90
th
day after
the opening of the first legislative session
beginning after December 31, 1998, of
the governing body with authority to
amend the plan, if that body does not
meet continuously). The remedial
amendment period can be further ex-
tended by the timely submission of a de-
termination letter application. The end of
the GUST remedial amendment period is
the deadline for making all GUST plan
amendments, including plan amendments
reflecting the repeal of § 415(e) and other
plan amendments specifically enumerated
in Rev. Proc. 99–23. The GUST remedial
amendment period also applies with re-
spect to all disqualifying provisions of
new plans adopted or effective after De-
cember 7, 1994, and with respect to all
plan amendments adopted after December
7, 1994, which would cause an existing
plan to fail to be qualified.
.04 Rev. Proc. 2000–20, 2000–6 I.R.B.
553, includes a procedure for extending
the GUST remedial amendment period
for employers adopting M&P or volume
submitter plans. To be eligible for the ex-
tension, employers must either adopt an
M&P or volume submitter plan before the
end of the GUST remedial amendment
period (determined without regard to the
extension) or, before such time, certify
their intent to adopt a GUST-approved
M&P or volume submitter plan. Addi-
tionally, the M&P sponsor or volume sub-
mitter practitioner must request a GUST
opinion or advisory letter by December
31, 2000.
.05 Rev. Proc. 99–23 extended the TRA
‘86 remedial amendment period for gov-
ernmental plans to the end of the GUST
remedial amendment period for govern-
mental plans described above. The plan
amendments to which the TRA ‘86 reme-
dial amendment period applies are those
required to comply with the Tax Reform
Act of 1986, Pub. L. 99–514 (“TRA
‘86”) and subsequent legislation through
the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
of 1993, Pub. L. 103–66 (“OBRA ‘93”).
.06 Under Notice 98–39, 1998–2 C.B.
205, nonelecting church plans are not re-
quired to be amended to comply with reg-
ulations under §§ 401(a)(4), 401(a)(5),
401(l), and 414(s) until the last day of the
first plan year beginning on or after Janu-
ary 1, 2001. However, under Rev. Proc.
99–23, these plans are required to be
amended to comply with other applicable
June 26, 200012722000–26 I.R.B.
Part III. Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous

provisions of TRA ‘86 and subsequent
legislation through OBRA ‘93 by the end
of the generally applicable GUST reme-
dial amendment period, that is, the end of
the first plan year beginning on or after
January 1, 2000.
.07 Plans that were submitted to the
Service within certain deadlines for deter-
mination, opinion, or notification letters
under TRA ‘86 and received favorable
letters were entitled to extended reliance
on their letters. However, plans with ex-
tended reliance are required to be
amended to comply with regulations and
administrative guidance of general applic-
ability issued since the date of the plan’s
favorable TRA ‘86 letter. Rev. Proc.
99–23 extended the time for adopting
such amendments to the end of the GUST
remedial amendment period.
SECTION 3. PROGRAM OPENING
.01 Applications for determination let-
ters under § 401(a) or § 403(a) that are
filed with the Service on or after June 26,
2000, for individually-designed plans, in-
cluding volume submitter plans, will be
reviewed taking into account all the
changes in the qualification requirements
made by GUST, including those changes
made by SBJPA that are first effective in
plan years beginning after December 31,
1998, unless the sponsor asks the Service
to limit the extent to which the plan is re-
viewed for GUST, as described below.
(Determination letters that take into ac-
count all the GUST changes are referred
to in this revenue procedure as “GUST II
letters.” Except in the case of terminating
plans, the review of applications for de-
termination letters for M&P plans will
take into account the GUST changes only
to the extent that the M&P plan sponsor
has amended the plan for GUST and re-
ceived a favorable opinion letter.
.02 Until further notice, sponsors of in-
dividually-designed plans, including vol-
ume submitter plans, will continue to have
the option of limiting the extent to which
their plans are reviewed for GUST by re-
questing either a GUST I letter or a pre-
GATT letter, rather than a GUST II letter.
The sponsor should make this request in a
cover letter with the application. (This op-
tion does not apply to applications for de-
termination on plan termination.) Under
this option, the sponsor will need to sub-
mit another application and pay another
user fee to obtain a GUST II letter.
.03 Because the proposed regulations
under § 411(d)(6) may not be relied upon
prior to finalization, the proposed regula-
tions will not be taken into account by the
Service for purposes of issuing determi-
nation letters. Until such regulations are
finalized, the Service will not issue a fa-
vorable determination letter for a plan that
is amended to eliminate or reduce benefits
in a manner that is not permitted under
regulations now in effect. Therefore,
sponsors who are considering submitting
determination letter applications before
the proposed regulations under
§ 411(d)(6) are finalized should also be
aware that they may have to submit an-
other application and pay another user fee
if they wish to adopt plan amendments as
a result of the final regulations.
.04 In general, plans must be restated
when they are submitted for GUST II de-
termination letters. For this purpose, sub-
mission of a working copy of the plan in a
restated format will suffice. A plan is
generally exempt from the requirement to
restate, however, if there have been fewer
than four consecutive amendments since
the plan was last restated, excluding
amendments making only nonsubstantive
plan changes, the plan has a favorable
TRA ‘86 determination letter, and the
plan meets either of the following condi-
tions:
1 The plan is a defined contribution
plan under which the only contribu-
tions are nonelective employer con-
tributions; or
2 The plan has a favorable GUST I
determination letter and is not
adding provisions designed to sat-
isfy the safe harbor requirements of
§ 401(k)(12) or § 401(m)(11).
The Service nevertheless reserves the
right to require restatement of a plan or
submission of a working copy of a plan in
a restated format in any case in which this
is determined to be necessary.
.05 In general, Form 6406, Short
Form Application for Determination for
Minor Amendment of Employee Benefit
Plan, may not be used to apply for either
a GUST I or a GUST II letter. However,
if use of Form 6406 is not otherwise pre-
cluded by section 11 of Rev. Proc.
2000–6, Form 6406 may be used to
apply for a GUST II letter for a defined
contribution plan with a favorable
GUST I letter which does not include
provisions designed to satisfy the safe
harbor requirements of § 401(k)(12) or
§ 401(m)(11). In this case, the applica-
tion should include a cover letter indi-
cating the application is for a GUST II
letter. The Service reserves the right to
require the filing of a Form 5300 series
application in any case in which it deter-
mines that the use of Form 6406 is inap-
propriate.
.06 The Service will attempt to contact
each plan sponsor who has a Form 5300
determination letter application being re-
viewed by a determination letter specialist
on June 26, 2000, to determine if the
sponsor wishes to convert the application
to a GUST II application. The Service
will continue to process each other pend-
ing application in accordance with the
procedures in effect prior to June 26,
2000.
SECTION 4. EXTENSION OF THE
REMEDIAL AMENDMENT PERIOD
.01 The GUST remedial amendment
period for nongovernmental plans is ex-
tended to the last day of the first plan year
beginning on or after January 1, 2001.
The remedial amendment period for gov-
ernmental plans, as defined in § 414(d), is
extended to the later of (i) the last day of
the first plan year beginning on or after
January 1, 2001, or (ii) the last day of the
first plan year beginning on or after the
“2000 legislative date” (that is, the 90
th
day after the opening of the first legisla-
tive session beginning after December 31,
1999, of the governing body with author-
ity to amend the plan, if that body does
not meet continuously).
.02 In general, all plan provisions that
either cause a plan to fail to satisfy the
qualification requirements of the Code
because of changes to those requirements
made by GUST or are integral to a quali-
fication requirement changed by GUST
are disqualifying provisions under
§ 1.401(b)–1(b) of the regulations. Thus,
this extension of the GUST remedial
amendment period applies to all GUST
plan amendments, including all those
specifically enumerated in Rev. Proc.
99–23. In addition, this extends the reme-
dial amendment period with respect to all
disqualifying provisions of new plans
adopted or effective after December 7,
1994, and with respect to all plan amend-
2000–26 I.R.B.1273June 26, 2000

ments adopted after December 7, 1994,
which would cause an existing plan to fail
to be qualified.
.03 This extension also applies for pur-
poses of the time by which employers
must either adopt an M&P or volume sub-
mitter plan or certify their intent to adopt
a GUST-approved M&P or volume sub-
mitter plan in order to be eligible for the
extension described in section 19 of Rev.
Proc. 2000–20. However, the December
31, 2000, deadline for submission of ap-
plications for opinion and advisory letters
under section 19 of Rev. Proc. 2000–20 is
not extended.
.04 The TRA ‘86 remedial amendment
period for governmental plans is extended
to the end of the GUST remedial amend-
ment period for governmental plans de-
scribed above. The TRA ‘86 remedial
amendment period for nonelecting church
plans is extended to the end of the GUST
remedial amendment period for non-
governmental plans described above.
Thus, nonelecting church plans now have
a single amendment deadline for all
GUST and TRA ‘86 plan amendments, in-
cluding amendments relating to the
nondiscrimination requirements. The ad-
ditional administrative relief provided
under Notice 92–36, 1992–2 C.B. 364,
continues to be available to governmental
and nonelecting church plans through the
end of their respective remedial amend-
ment periods with respect to the applica-
ble nondiscrimination requirements.
SECTION 5. EXTENSION OF
EXTENDED RELIANCE PERIOD
The TRA ‘86 extended reliance period
is extended by an additional year. A plan
with extended reliance must be amended
by the end of the GUST remedial amend-
ment period to the extent necessary to
comply with regulations or administrative
guidance of general applicability issued
since the date of the plan’s favorable TRA
‘86 determination letter. These amend-
ments must be made effective no later
than the first day of the plan year in which
the GUST remedial amendment period
ends, and, except in the case of M&P or
volume submitter plans, no earlier than
the first day of the plan year in which the
amendments are adopted. (But see Rev.
Rul. 94–76, 1994–2 C.B. 46, and Rev.
Rul. 96–47, 1996–2 C.B. 35.)

Eligible Rollover Distributions
Notice 2000–32
I. PURPOSE
This notice provides additional relief
relating to the exception to the definition
of eligible rollover distribution for certain
hardship distributions. This exception
was added to §§ 402(c)(4) and
403(b)(8)(B) of the Internal Revenue
Code (the “Code”) by § 6005(c)(2)(A)
and (B) of the Internal Revenue Service
Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998,
Pub. L. 105–206 (“RRA 98”). Transition
relief and guidance relating to the excep-
tion was initially provided in Notice
99–5, 1999–3 I.R.B. 10. In response to
comments from representatives of plan
sponsors and recordkeepers regarding
their significant difficulties in implement-
ing certain requirements of Notice 99–5,
this notice provides permanent relief to
sponsors of qualified plans where records

pertaining to pre-1989 contributions are
unavailable, and also provides transition
relief to sponsors of both qualified plans
and § 403(b) annuities from certain other
requirements of Notice 99–5.
II. BACKGROUND
Section 401(a)(31) requires a qualified
plan to permit distributees to elect to have
an eligible rollover distribution paid di-
rectly to an eligible retirement plan speci-
fied by the distributee.
Section 403(b)(10) provides that a
§ 403(b) annuity must meet requirements
similar to the requirements of
§ 401(a)(31).
Section 402(c)(4) generally provides
that any distribution of all or any portion
of the balance to the credit of an em-
ployee in a qualified plan is an eligible
rollover distribution. However, as excep-
tions to this general rule, that section
specifies certain distributions that are not
eligible rollover distributions.
Prior to amendment by RRA 98, the
only exceptions to the definition of eligi-
ble rollover distribution provided for in
§ 402(c) were any distribution that is one
of a series of substantially equal periodic
payments made for certain periods, any
distribution to the extent such distribution
is required under § 401(a)(9), and any dis-
tribution that is not includible in gross in-
come (determined without regard to the
exclusion for net unrealized appreciation
described in § 402(e)(4)).
Section 403(b)(8) provides that rules
similar to those in § 402(c)(4) apply for
purposes of determining the amount eligi-
ble for rollover from a § 403(b) annuity.
Section 1.403(b)–2, Q&A-1 provides that
an eligible rollover distribution from a
§ 403(b) annuity is an eligible rollover
distribution described in § 402(c)(4) and
§ 1.402(c)–2, except that the distribution
is from a § 403(b) annuity rather than a
qualified plan.
Section 6005(c)(2)(A) of RRA 98
added § 402(c)(4)(C) to the Code, which
specifies an additional exception to the
definition of eligible rollover distribution
for any hardship distribution described in
§ 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV), effective for distri-
butions after December 31, 1998. Section
6005(c)(2)(B) of RRA 98 amended
§ 403(b)(8)(B) of the Code to include a
specific reference to § 402(c)(4)(C).
Thus, the new exception also applies to
distributions from § 403(b) annuities.
Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i) provides that
contributions made under a qualified cash
or deferred arrangement (“CODA”) are
not permitted to be distributed earlier than
the occurrence of certain specified events.
Under § 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV), an em-
ployee’s elective contributions may be
distributed upon the hardship of the em-
ployee. Section 1.401(k)–1(d)(2)(ii) pro-
vides that qualified nonelective and quali-
fied matching contributions that were
treated as elective contributions, plus
earnings on these contributions and on
elective contributions, credited to an em-
ployee’s account as of a date specified in
the plan containing the qualified CODA
(which date generally was required to be
before July 1, 1989) may also be distrib-
uted upon the hardship of the employee.
The date described in the preceding sen-
tence is hereinafter referred to as the “‘89
date” and the amounts described in the
preceding sentence are hereinafter re-
ferred to as “pre-’89 401(k) amounts.”
Contributions not made under a qualified
CODA, such as matching contributions or
profit-sharing contributions, are not de-
scribed in § 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV).
Sections 403(b)(1) and 403(b)(11) pro-
vide that amounts contributed pursuant to
a salary reduction agreement for years be-
ginning after December 31, 1988, are not
permitted to be distributed earlier than the
occurrence of certain specified events.
Under § 403(b)(11)(B), such amounts
may be distributed upon the hardship of
the employee. Amounts held in an annu-
ity contract described in § 403(b)(1) as of
the close of the last year beginning before
January 1, 1989, and amounts contributed
to the contract as nonelective employer
contributions are generally not subject to
distribution restrictions.
Sections 403(b)(7) and 403(b)(11) pro-
vide that amounts contributed to a custo-
dial account described in § 403(b)(7) are
not permitted to be distributed earlier than
the occurrence of certain specified events.
Under §§ 403(b)(7) and 403(b)(11), con-
tributions made pursuant to a salary re-
duction agreement, as well as any other
amounts held in the custodial account as
of the close of the last year beginning be-
fore January 1, 1989, may be distributed
upon the hardship of the employee.
Notice 99–5 provided transition relief
from the requirements of § 6005(c)(2)(A)
and (B) of RRA 98 by permitting quali-
fied plans and § 403(b) annuities to treat
those distributions made in calendar year
1999 that would have been eligible
rollover distributions under § 402(c)(4)
immediately prior to its amendment by
RRA 98 as eligible rollover distributions
for all purposes under the Code.
Notice 99–5 also provided that, for pur-
poses of § 6005(c)(2)(A) and (B) of RRA
98, “a hardship distribution described in
§ 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV)” includes only
amounts described in § 1.401(k)–1
(d)(2)(ii), including pre-’89 401(k)
amounts, and does not include amounts
that are distributable under the Code with-
out regard to the hardship of the employee.
Similar rules were provided with respect to
§ 403(b) annuities. In addition, Notice
99–5 provided that if another event occurs,
such as the employee’s separation from
service or attainment of age 59 1/2, so that
distribution of an amount is permitted
under the Code, without regard to hard-
ship, no amount distributed after that event
is ineligible for rollover treatment on ac-
count of being a hardship distribution de-
scribed in § 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV). Lastly,
Notice 99–5 provided that if a portion of a
distribution that includes a hardship distri-
bution is not includible in gross income,
the portion of the distribution that is not in-
cludible in gross income is first allocated
to the hardship distribution. Notice 99–5
provided that the above rules were first ap-
plicable to distributions made after De-
cember 31, 1999.
III. DEFINITIONS
For purposes of this notice, a Ҥ 403(b)
annuity” includes an annuity contract, a
custodial account, and a retirement in-
come account described in § 403(b) (see
§ 1.403(b)–2, Q&A-1) and a “qualified
plan” is an employees’ trust described in
§ 401(a) that is exempt from tax under
§ 501(a) or an annuity plan described in
§ 403(a) (see § 1.402(c)–2, Q&A-2).
IV. RELIEF
Representatives of plan sponsors and
recordkeepers have raised concerns about
certain of the requirements of Notice 99–5.
Those representatives indicated that, in
many cases, plan records were inadequate
to comply with the requirement that
amounts treated as ineligible for rollover by
reason of RRA 98 be limited to the amount
2000–26 I.R.B.1275June 26, 2000

described in § 1.401(k)–1(d)(2)(ii), particu-
larly with respect to pre-’89 401(k)
amounts. In addition, it was stated that, in
light of the extensive revisions to computer
systems required to prevent “Y2K” prob-
lems, plan sponsors and recordkeepers
were unable to modify their systems to
comply with certain other requirements of
Notice 99–5 by January 1, 2000, the date
transition relief under Notice 99–5 became
no longer available.
In response to these concerns, the re-
quirements of Notice 99–5 are modified
as follows:
(i)Pre-’89 401(k) Amounts.As noted,
under Notice 99–5, amounts that are
ineligible for rollover by reason of
§ 6005(c)(2)(A) of RRA 98 are lim-
ited to amounts described in
§ 1.401(k)–1(d)(ii), including pre-’89
401(k) amounts. Concerns have been
raised that, in many instances, plan
records do not make it possible to dis-
tinguish pre-’89 401(k) amounts from
other amounts credited to an em-
ployee’s account as of the ‘89 date.
Accordingly, if a qualified
plan’s records are not reasonably
available to segregate an employee’s
pre-’89 401(k) amounts from other
amounts that, as of the ‘89 date, were
credited to the employee’s account,
then, for purposes of determining
what is an eligible rollover distribu-
tion, the plan must treat the other
amounts as described in § 401(k)(2)–
(B)(i)(IV). That is, the other amounts
are treated the same as pre-’89 401(k)
amounts and elective contributions
and are therefore treated as ineligible
for rollover when distributed on
account of hardship.
(ii)Satisfaction of Another Statutory Dis-
tributable Event. Notice 99–5 pro-
vides that, if another event occurs,
such as the employee’s separation
from service or attainment of age 59
1/2, so that distribution of an amount
is permitted under § 401(k)(2)(B),
§ 403(b)(7) or § 403(b)(11) without
regard to hardship, no amount distrib-
uted after that event is ineligible for
rollover treatment on account of being
a hardship distribution described in
§ 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV), § 403(b)(7) or
§ 403(b)(11). Plan sponsors and
recordkeepers indicated to the Service
that, in many instances, their systems
are unable to track whether a distribu-
tion made on account of hardship
under the terms of the plan might also
be distributable under another statu-
tory provision.
Therefore, as an alternative to
the rule in Notice 99–5, until further
guidance is issued, a distribution that
is described in § 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV),
§ 403(b)(7) or § 403(b)(11) and that is
made as a hardship distribution under
the terms of a qualified plan or
§ 403(b) annuity may be treated as
ineligible for rollover even though
another event has occurred that could
entitle the recipient to a distribution
without regard to hardship under
§ 401(k)(2–)(B)(i)(IV), § 403(b)(7) or
§ 403(b)–(11). Thus, for example, if a
profit-sharing plan containing a qual-
ified CODA provides that in-service
distributions are available only upon
hardship, an in-service distribution
made to a participant aged 62 may, to
the extent of elective contributions
and other amounts described in
§ 1.401(k)–1(d)(2)(ii) (including
amounts described in (i) above that
are treated as pre-’89 401(k)
amounts), be treated as ineligible for
rollover. Alternatively, if the rule in
Notice 99–5 is followed, the distribu-
tion in this example to the age-62 par-
ticipant may be treated as eligible for
rollover.
(iii)Allocation of Basis. The plan sponsor
and recordkeeper community also
raised concerns about the feasibility of
timely programming their systems to
follow the basis allocation rules of
Notice 99–5. Therefore, until further
guidance is issued, if a portion of a
hardship distribution from a qualified
plan or a § 403(b) annuity is not in-
cludible in gross income, the portion
of the distribution that is not includi-
ble in gross income may be allocated
to the portion ineligible for rollover or
the portion eligible for rollover (or be-
tween the two portions) using any rea-
sonable method.
A qualified plan or § 403(b) annuity
generally must, in applying the above
rules, be consistent in the treatment of all
distributions.

Proposed 2001 Form 1042-S,
Foreign Person’s U.S. Source
Income Subject to Withholding
Announcement 2000–54
The Internal Revenue Service announces
that it is requesting comments from the
public on proposed revisions to the 2001
Form 1042-S. This form is used by U.S.
withholding agents to report the withhold-
ing of U.S. income tax on certain U.S.
source income paid to foreign persons.
This announcement provides a draft
copy of the 2001 Form 1042-S. The form
is being issued so that withholding agents
can adapt their systems to comply with
the regulations under sections 1441, 1442,
and 1443, which were recently amended
by T.D. 8881 (published on May 22,
2000, in 65 F.R. 32152 and again on June
5, 2000, in 2000–23 I.R.B 1158). Filers
and recipients of the form are advised that
the form may be revised based on further
developments and comments.
Form 1042-S was previously released
for public comments on April 19, 1999
(Announcement 99–46, 1999–16 I.R.B.
13). We made the following changes to
the form as the result of those comments:
•VOID box.This box has been added to
the recipient copies (Copies B, C & D).
•Box 2 (Gross income), Box 4 (Net in-
come), Box 7 (U.S. Federal tax with-
held), andBox 8 (Amount reim-
bursed to recipient).We increased the
width of these boxes.
•Box 9 (Withholding agent’s EIN) and
Box 14 (Recipient’s U.S. TIN).We
increased the width of the checkboxes
so that they are easier to line up in a
printer.
•Box 10 (Withholding agent’s name
and address) and Box 13 (Recipient’s
name and address). We positioned
June 26, 200012762000–26 I.R.B.

these boxes so that the information en-
tered will show through a standard dou-
ble window envelope. In doing so, we
increased the vertical size of box 13 so
that 6 lines are available in the entry
area (allowing for 4 lines of print and 2
extra lines for printer line-up).
•Box 11 (Recipient’s account num-
ber).We increased the available entry
area.
•Box 19 (Nonqualified intermedi-
ary’s/Flow-through entity’s address).
We increased the height of this box.
•Income codes on the back of Copy C.
We changed the codes back to the way
they were on the 2000 form (i.e., income
codes 01 through 28 are the same on the
2000 and 2001 forms). New codes 29
through 31 have been added, but are
grouped with the other Interest Income
codes. New code 32 has been added and
placed with the Other Income codes.
Form 1042-S, as designed for the year
2001, contains only one income line. Some
commentators requested that we restore
multiple income reporting lines (i.e., lines 1
through 3 of the current year 2000 form).
Although we were not able to accommo-
date this comment, in an effort to mitigate
the impact of this change, a withholding
agent may be permitted to use substitute
payee copies of the form (i.e., copies B, C,
and D) that contain more than one income
line. Under no circumstances, however,
will the copy of the form filed with the IRS
(copy A) be permitted to contain more than
one income line (i.e., boxes 1 through 8).
The following change has been made to
the form as the result of changes to the
regulations made by T.D. 8881: The
PRO-RATA BASIS REPORTING box
at the top of the form was added as an in-
dicator that the withholding agent must
use to notify the IRS that a nonqualified
intermediary that used the alternative pro-
cedures of Regulations section
1.1441–1(e)(3)(iv)(D) (i.e., year-end allo-
cation) failed to properly comply with
those allocation requirements. If this box
is checked, withholding agents will be in-
structed to complete box 5 (Tax rate) by
including the appropriate rate of withhold-
ing in the box, not the rate of withholding
actually applied. For example, a with-
holding agent that withheld 15% from
payments made to a nonqualified interme-
diary should place 30% in box 5 for pay-
ments it reports under the pro rata report-
ing rule of sec. 1.1441–1(e)(3)(iv)(D)(6).
Several respondents inquired as to the
intended use for box 8. This new box was
added to reflect the reimbursement proce-
dure described in Regulations section
1.1461–2(a)(2)(i).
We anticipate that the instructions for
Form 1042-S will state that a qualified in-
termediary reporting payments on behalf
of a private arrangement intermediary
(PAI) must treat each PAI as a separate re-
cipient and therefore must file a separate
Form 1042-S for each withholding rate
pool paid to a PAI.
The IRS would like to receive comments
on this proposed draft form from all inter-
ested persons by July 26, 2000. Please

Deletions from Cumulative List
of Organizations Contributions
to Which are Deductible Under
Section 170 of the Code
Announcement 2000–56
The names of organizations that no
longer qualify as organizations de-
scribed in section 170(c)(2) of the Inter-
nal Revenue Code of 1986 are listed
below.
Generally, the Service will not disal-
low deductions for contributions made
to a listed organization on or before the
date of announcement in the Internal
Revenue Bulletin that an organization
no longer qualifies. However, the Ser-
vice is not precluded from disallowing a
deduction for any contributions made
after an organization ceases to qualify
under section 170(c)(2) if the organiza-
tion has not timely filed a suit for de-
claratory judgment under section 7428
and if the contributor (1) had knowledge
of the revocation of the ruling or deter-
mination letter, (2) was aware that such
revocation was imminent, or (3) was in
part responsible for or was aware of the
activities or omissions of the organiza-
tion that brought about this revocation.
If on the other hand a suit for declara-
tory judgment has been timely filed,
contributions from individuals and orga-
nizations described in section 170(c)(2)
that are otherwise allowable will con-
tinue to be deductible. Protection under
section 7428(c) would begin on June 26,
2000, and would end on the date the
court first determines that the organiza-
tion is not described in section 170(c)(2)
as more particularly set forth in section
7428 (c)(1). For individual contributors,
the maximum deduction protected is
$1,000, with a husband and wife treated
as one contributor. This benefit is not
extended to any individual, in whole or
in part, for the acts or omissions of the
organization that were the basis for re-
vocation.

Part IV. Items of General Interest

Section 7428(c) Validation of
Certain Contributions Made
During Pendency of Declaratory
Judgment Proceedings
This announcement serves notice to po-
tential donors that the organization listed
below has recently filed a timely declara-
tory judgment suit under section 7428 of
the Code, challenging revocation of its
status as an eligible donee under section
170(c)(2).
Protection under section 7428(c) of the
Code begins on the date that the notice of
revocation is published in the Internal
Revenue Bulletin and ends on the date on
which a court first determines that an or-
ganization is not described in section
170(c)(2), as more particularly set forth in
section 7428(c)(1). In the case of individ-
ual contributors, the maximum amount of
contributions protected during this period
is limited to $1,000.00, with a husband
and wife being treated as one contributor.
This protection is not extended to any in-
dividual who was responsible, in whole or
in part, for the acts or omissions of the or-
ganization that were the basis for the re-
vocation. This protection also applies
(but without limitation as to amount) to
organizations described in section
170(c)(2) which are exempt from tax
under section 501(a). If the organization
ultimately prevails in its declaratory judg-
ment suit, deductibility of contributions
would be subject to the normal limitations
set forth under section 170.

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.
