Announcement of Disbarments and Suspensions begins on page 21.

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 Unpublished rulings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.
Mission of the Service
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.

Nonconventional Source Fuel
Credit, § 29 Inflation
Adjustment Factor, and § 29
Reference Price
Notice 99–18
This notice publishes the nonconven-
tional source fuel credit, inflation adjust-
ment factor, and reference price under
§ 29 of the Internal Revenue Code for cal-
endar year 1998. These are used to deter-
mine the credit allowable on fuel pro-
duced from a nonconventional source
under § 29 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The calendar year 1998 inflation-adjusted
credit applies to the sales of barrel-of-oil
equivalent of qualified fuels sold by a tax-
payer to an unrelated person during the
1998 calendar year, the domestic produc-
tion of which is attributable to the tax-
payer.
BACKGROUND
Section 29(a) provides for a credit for
producing fuel from a nonconventional
source, measured in barrel-of-oil equiva-
lent of qualified fuels, the production of
which is attributable to the taxpayer and
sold by the taxpayer to an unrelated per-
son during the tax year. The credit is
equal to the product of $3.00 and the ap-
propriate inflation adjustment factor.
Section 29(b)(1) and (2) provides for a
phase out of the credit. The credit allow-
able under § 29(a) must be reduced by an
amount which bears the same ratio to the
amount of the credit (determined without
regard to § 29(b)(1)) as the amount by
which the reference price for the calendar
year in which the sale occurs exceeds
$23.50 bears to $6.00. The $3.00 in
§ 29(a) and the $23.50 and $6.00 must
each be adjusted by multiplying these
amounts by the 1998 inflation adjustment
factor. In the case of gas from a tight for-
mation, the $3.00 amount in § 29(a) must
not be adjusted.
Section 29(c)(1) defines the term
“qualified fuels” to include oil produced
from shale and tar sands; gas produced
from geopressurized brine, Devonian
shale, coal seams, or a tight formation, or
biomass; and liquid, gaseous, or solid
synthetic fuels produced from coal (in-
cluding lignite), including such fuels
when used as feedstocks.
Section 29(d)(1) provides that the
credit is to be applied only for sale of
qualified fuels the production of which is
within the United States (within the
meaning of § 638(1)) or a possession of
the United States (within the meaning of
§ 638(2)).
Section 29(d)(2)(A) requires that the
Secretary, not later than April 1 of each
calendar year, determine and publish in
the Federal Register the inflation adjust-
ment factor and the reference price for the
preceding calendar year.
Section 29(d)(2)(B) defines “inflation
adjustment factor” for a calendar year as
the fraction the numerator of which is the
GNP implicit price deflator for the calen-
dar year and the denominator of which is
the GNP implicit price deflator for calen-
dar year 1979. The term “GNP implicit
price deflator” means the first version of
the implicit price deflator for the gross na-
tional product as computed and published
by the Department of Commerce.
Section 29(d)(2)(C) defines “reference
price” to mean with respect to a calendar
year the Secretary’s estimate of the annual
average wellhead price per barrel of all
domestic crude oil the price of which is
not subject to regulation by the United
States.
Section 29(d)(3) provides that in the
case of a property or facility in which
more than one person has an interest, ex-
cept to the extent provided by regulations
prepared by the Secretary, production
from the property or facility (as the case
may be) must be allocated among the per-
sons in proportion to their respective in-
terests in the gross sales from the property
or facility.
Section 29(d)(5) and (6) provides that
the term “barrel-of-oil equivalent” with
respect to any fuel generally means that
amount of the fuel which has a Btu con-
tent of 5.8 million.
INFLATION ADJUSTMENT FACTOR
AND REFERENCE PRICE
The inflation adjustment factor for cal-
endar year 1998 is 2.0384. The reference
price for calendar year 1998 is $10.88. As
required by § 29(d)(2)(A), the inflation
adjustment factor and reference price for
calendar year 1998 will be published in
the Federal Register on April 6, 1999.
PHASE-OUT CALCULATION
Because the calendar year 1998 refer-
ence price does not exceed $23.50 multi-
plied by the inflation adjustment factor,
the phase out of the credit provided for in
§ 29(b)(1) does not occur for any quali-
fied fuel sold in calendar year 1998.
CREDIT AMOUNT
The nonconventional source fuel credit
under § 29(a) is $6.12 per barrel-of-oil
equivalent of qualified fuels ($3.00 3
2.0284). This amount will be published
in the Federal Register on April 6, 1999.

Accounting Period Guidance
Notice 99–19
PURPOSE
This notice invites public comment on
possible changes to published guidance
concerning accounting period changes.
Among possible changes under considera-
tion are: (1) revising the criteria used to es-
tablish a substantial business purpose, in-
cluding what constitutes a natural business
year; and (2) allowing more accounting pe-
riod changes to be made automatically.
BACKGROUND
Section 441 of the Internal Revenue
Code provides that taxable income must
be computed on the basis of the tax-
payer’s taxable year. In general, the term
“taxable year” means the taxpayer’s an-
nual accounting period, which can be a
calendar or fiscal year, or a period of less
than 12 months for which a return is made
Part III. Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous

(i.e.,a short period). The term “annual
accounting period” means the annual pe-
riod on the basis of which the taxpayer
regularly computes its income in keeping
its books. Special rules under the Code
and Income Tax Regulations require par-
ticular accounting periods for certain tax-
payers such as domestic international
sales corporations and foreign sales cor-
porations (§ 441(h)), personal service cor-
porations (§ 441(i)), certain trusts (§ 644),
partnerships (§ 706), real estate invest-
ment trusts (§ 859), real estate mortgage
investment conduits (§ 860D(a)(5)), spec-
ified foreign corporations (§ 898), S cor-
porations (§ 1378), and members of affili-
ated groups that file consolidated returns
(Treas. Reg. § 1.1502–76).
Section 442 provides that if a taxpayer
changes its annual accounting period, the
new accounting period becomes the tax-
payer’s taxable year only if the change is
approved by the Secretary. In addition,
adoptions of fiscal years by certain tax-
payers are treated as accounting period
changes and thus can become the tax-
payer’s taxable year only with the ap-
proval of the Secretary. (See e.g.,
§ 706(b)(1)(C)).
Section 1.442–1(b) provides that ap-
proval for an accounting period change
will not be granted unless the taxpayer
and the Commissioner agree to the terms,
conditions, and adjustments under which
the change will be effected. In general, a
change of annual accounting period will
be approved where the taxpayer estab-
lishes a substantial business purpose for
making the change.
Under the Code and regulations, cer-
tain taxpayers are allowed to change their
annual accounting periods automatically
without securing the prior approval of the
Commissioner (see, e.g., § 859(b) and
Treas. Reg. §§ 1.442-1(c), (d), and (e)).
In addition, the Service has issued several
revenue procedures, such as Rev. Proc.
92–13, 1992–1 C.B. 665; Rev. Proc. 87–
32, 1987–2 C.B. 396; and Rev. Proc. 66–
50, 1966–2 C.B. 1260, that enable taxpay-
ers to obtain automatic approval of
changes in their accounting periods, if
specific conditions are satisfied.
REQUEST FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
The Service is considering what, if any,
changes should be made in order to clar-
ify and simplify published guidance con-
cerning accounting period changes. Ac-
cordingly, the Service and Treasury re-
quest comments on possible changes to
current accounting period guidance in-
cluding, but not limited to, the following:
(1) What changes should be made to
the rules governing the approval of ac-
counting period change requests? For ex-
ample, what changes, if any, should be
made to the substantial business purpose
requirement? SeeTreas. Reg. § 1.442-
1(b)(1). How should deferral or shifting
of income, or acceleration or shifting of
deductions, (“deferral”) be considered in
determining whether to approve an ac-
counting period change request? For ex-
ample, should safe harbors permitting de
minimis deferral be established? If an ac-
counting period change that creates defer-
ral is permitted, what terms and condi-
tions should apply to the change? Should
all taxpayers, regardless of their form
(e.g., corporation, partnership, S corpora-
tion), be subject to the same criteria for
approval? Should the rules for establish-
ing a natural business year be revised, and
if so, how? SeeRev. Proc. 74–33, 1974–2
C.B. 489.
(2) How should the current automatic
accounting period change procedures be
organized, clarified, and simplified? See,
e.g.,Treas. Reg. § 1.442–1, Rev. Proc.
92–13, Rev. Proc. 87–32, and Rev. Proc.
66–50. Should the Service provide proce-
dures for automatic approval to change
accounting periods in additional situa-
tions? If so, what types of situations
would warrant such automatic approval,
and what, if any, terms and conditions
should apply to such changes?

Rev. Proc. 99–23
SECTION 1. PURPOSE
.01 This revenue procedure extends
until the last day of the first plan year be-
ginning on or after January 1, 2000, the
remedial amendment period under
§ 401(b) of the Code for amending plans
that are qualified under § 401(a) or
§ 403(a) for changes made by the Small
Business Job Protection Act of 1996, Pub.
L. 104–188 (“SBJPA”) and for other re-
cent changes in the law. It also designates
as a disqualifying provision for which this
extended remedial amendment period is
available any plan provision that causes a
plan to fail to satisfy the qualification re-
quirements of the Code because of the re-
peal of the combined plan limitation
under § 415(e) or that is integral to this re-
pealed qualification requirement. The re-
peal of § 415(e) is effective for limitation
years beginning after December 31, 1999.
.02 This revenue procedure provides
that the extension of the remedial amend-
ment period also applies:
1 to all disqualifying provisions of new
plans adopted or effective after December
7, 1994, and all disqualifying provisions
of existing plans arising from a plan
amendment adopted after December 7,
1994;
2 to the deadline for adopting certain
amendments relating to § 415(b)(2)(E);
3 to the deadline for adopting amend-
ments of disqualifying provisions that are
integral to a qualification requirement
changed by a provision of SBJPA that be-
came effective on the first day of the first
plan year beginning after December 31,
1998; and
4 to the deadline for adopting amend-
ments of disqualifying provisions that are
integral to the requirements of § 401(a)-
(31) to reflect the change made by
1999–16 I.R.B.5April 19, 1999

§ 6005(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice Restructuring and Reform Act of
1998, Pub. L. 105–206 (“RRA 98”).
.03 This revenue procedure also pro-
vides that the extension of the remedial
amendment period applies to the time for
adopting amendments of defined benefit
plans to provide that benefits will be de-
termined in accordance with the applica-
ble interest rate rules and applicable mor-
tality table rules of § 1.417(e)–1(d) of the
Income Tax Regulations. However, such
a plan amendment must provide that, with
respect to distributions with annuity start-
ing dates that are on or after the effective
date of the amendment but before the
adoption date of the amendment, the dis-
tribution will be the greater of the amount
that would be determined under the plan
without regard to the amendment and the
amount determined under the plan with
regard to the amendment.
.04 This revenue procedure extends by
one year the period of extended reliance
for certain plans that received favorable
determination, opinion, or notification let-
ters under the Tax Reform Act of 1986,
Pub. L. 99–514 (“TRA 86”).
.05 Finally, this revenue procedure ex-
tends the TRA 86 remedial amendment
period for governmental and nonelecting
church plans to the end of the remedial
amendment period for SBJPA. This ex-
tension ensures that no such plan need be
submitted for a determination letter until
the end of the SBJPA remedial amend-
ment period. Sponsors of nonelecting
church plans continue to have until the
end of the 2001 plan year to adopt amend-
ments relating to the nondiscrimination
requirements.
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
.01 In recent years, the following pub-
lic laws have made changes affecting the
requirements for qualification of pension,
profit-sharing, and stock bonus plans
under § 401(a) or § 403(a):
1 the Uruguay Round Agreements Act,
Pub. L. 103–464 (“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 RRA 98.
.02 Rev. Proc. 97–41, 1997–33 I.R.B.
51, provided a remedial amendment pe-
riod under § 401(b) with respect to certain
amendments for GATT, SBJPA, and
USERRA. The remedial amendment pe-
riod that was provided under Rev. Proc.
97–41 generally permits plan amend-
ments to be made retroactively effective if
they are adopted before the end of the re-
medial amendment period and they relate
to GATT, SBJPA, and USERRA qualifi-
cation changes that are effective before
the first day of the first plan year begin-
ning on or after January 1, 1999. Rev.
Proc. 98–14, 1998–4 I.R.B. 22, provided
that the remedial amendment period de-
scribed in Rev. Proc. 97–41 will also
apply to plan amendments that relate to
TRA 97. For plans other than govern-
mental plans, the remedial amendment
period under Rev. Proc. 97–41 and Rev.
Proc. 98–14 ends on the last day of the
first plan year beginning on or after Janu-
ary 1, 1999. For governmental plans, as
defined in § 414(d), the remedial amend-
ment period ends on the later of (i) the
last day of the last plan year beginning be-
fore January 1, 2001, or (ii) the last day of
the first plan year beginning on or after
the “1999 legislative date” (that is, the
90th day after the opening of the first leg-
islative session beginning after Decem-
ber 31, 1998, of the governing body with
authority to amend the plan, if that body
does not meet continuously). Those
amendments that are required to be made
to retain qualified status as a result of
changes in the qualification requirements
must be made retroactively effective as of
the date on which the qualification change
became effective with respect to the plan,
and, in general, operational compliance
prior to actual amendment is required.
Those amendments that are not required
but that amend plan provisions that are in-
tegrally related to qualification changes
may be made retroactively effective as of
the first day on which the plan was oper-
ated in accordance with the amended plan
provision.
.03 The remedial amendment period
described in Rev. Proc. 97–41 also applies
with respect to all disqualifying provi-
sions of new plans adopted or effective
after December 7, 1994, and with respect
to all plan amendments adopted after De-
cember 7, 1994, which would cause an
existing plan to fail to be qualified.
.04 The end of the remedial amend-
ment period described in Rev. Proc.
97–41 is also the deadline for adopting
plan amendments applying the changes
under § 415(b)(2)(E). It is, likewise, the
deadline for adopting a plan amendment
repealing a pre-August 20, 1996, GATT
plan amendment, thereby permitting the
earlier plan amendment to be disregarded
in applying § 767(d)(3)(A) of GATT, as
modified by § 1449(a) of SBJPA.
.05 Notice 98–52, 1998–46 I.R.B. 16,
provided guidance on the nondiscrimina-
tion safe harbor methods in § 401(k)(12)
and § 401(m)(11). This notice designates
as disqualifying provisions under §
401(b) plan provisions that are integral to
a qualification requirement changed by a
provision of SBJPA that becomes effec-
tive on the first day of the first plan year
beginning after December 31, 1998, pro-
vided two conditions are satisfied. First,
the plan provisions must generally be
amended by no later than the last day of
the first plan year beginning after Decem-
ber 31, 1998. Second, the plan provi-
sions, as amended, must be effective as of
the first day of the first plan year begin-
ning after December 31, 1998. Notice
98–52 also provides that a plan amend-
ment that satisfies these conditions will
not be treated as violating § 411(d)(6)
merely because the plan amendment im-
poses the withdrawal restrictions required
by § 401(k)(12)(E)(i), provided that those
withdrawal restrictions do not apply with
respect to contributions allocated as of a
date before the first day of the first plan
year beginning after December 31, 1998.
.06 Notice 99–5, 1999–3 I.R.B. 10,
provided guidance relating to the excep-
tion to the definition of eligible rollover
distribution for certain hardship distribu-
tions which was added to §§ 402(c)(4)
and 403(b)(8)(B) by § 6005(c)(2)(A) and
(B) of RRA 98. This definition is relevant
in the application of the direct rollover re-
quirements of § 401(a)(31). This notice
designates as disqualifying provisions
under § 401(b) plan provisions that are in-
tegral to the requirements of § 401(a)(31),
but only to the extent such provisions are
amended to reflect the change made by
§ 6005(c)(2) of RRA 98, provided two
conditions are satisfied. First, the plan
provisions must generally be amended to
reflect the change made by § 6005(c)(2)
April 19, 199961999–16 I.R.B.

of RRA 98 by no later than the last day of
the first plan year beginning after Decem-
ber 31, 1998. Second, the plan provi-
sions, as amended, must be effective as of
the first day the plan operates in accor-
dance with the change made by
§ 6005(c)(2) of RRA 98.
.07 Under § 417(e)(3), as amended by
§ 767 of the Retirement Protection Act of
1994 (“RPA 94,” which is part of GATT),
and § 1.417(e)–1(d), a defined benefit
plan must provide that the present value
of any accrued benefit and the amount of
any distribution must not be less than the
amount calculated using the applicable in-
terest rate described in § 1.417(e)–1(d)(3)
and the applicable mortality table de-
scribed in § 1.417(e)–1(d)(2). Prior to
amendment by § 767 of RPA 94, § 417(e)-
(3) required, instead of the applicable in-
terest rate, an interest rate based on the
rate that would be used by the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”)
for a trusteed single-employer plan to
value the participant’s vested benefit
(“PBGC rate”), and it did not impose any
restrictions on the mortality table to be
used. Section 767 of RPA 94 and
§ 1.417(e)–1(d) are generally effective for
distributions with annuity starting dates in
plan years beginning after December 31,
1994. However, § 417(e)(3)(B) provides
a transition rule for plans adopted and in
effect as of December 7, 1994 (“pre-
GATT plans”). In general, under this rule,
the present value of a distribution from a
pre-GATT plan that is made before the
earlier of (i) the first plan year beginning
after December 31, 1999, or (ii) the later
of the adoption or effective date of a plan
amendment applying the changes made to
§ 417(e)(3) to the plan is to be determined
under the plan’s pre-GATT terms. Thus,
for pre-GATT plans, amendments apply-
ing the changes to § 417(e)(3) to plan
years beginning before January 1, 2000,
could not be adopted retroactively, and
these plans could not be operated in ac-
cordance with the changes prior to plan
amendment.
.08 Section 767(d)(2) of RPA 94 pro-
vides that a participant’s accrued benefit
is not considered to be reduced in viola-
tion of § 411(d)(6) merely because the
benefit is determined in accordance with
the applicable interest rate rules and the
applicable mortality table rules of
§ 417(e)(3)(A), as amended by RPA 94.
Section 1.417(e)–1(d)(10) explains the
scope of relief from the requirements of §
411(d)(6). A plan amendment to comply
with the applicable interest rate rules and
the applicable mortality table rules of §
417(e)(3)(A), as amended by RPA 94,
must apply to all distributions with annu-
ity starting dates that occur in plan years
beginning after December 31, 1999.
.09 Section 1.401(b)–1T(c)(3) autho-
rizes the Commissioner to impose limits
and provide additional rules regarding the
amendments that may be made within the
remedial amendment period with respect
to a plan provision that has been desig-
nated by the Commissioner as a disquali-
fying provision under § 401(b).
.10 Under Rev. Proc. 89–9, 1989–1
C.B. 780, Rev. Proc. 89–13, 1989–1 C.B.
801 (both as modified by Rev. Proc. 93–9,
1993–1 C.B. 474), Rev. Proc. 93–39,
1993–2 C.B. 513, Announcement 94–85,
1994–26 I.R.B. 23, and Rev. Proc. 95–12,
1995–1 C.B. 508, plans that were submit-
ted to the Service within certain deadlines
for determination, opinion, or notification
letters under TRA 86 and received favor-
able letters are entitled to extended re-
liance. The sponsor of a plan that is enti-
tled to extended reliance on a favorable
TRA 86 letter may rely on that letter until
the earlier of the last day of the last plan
year commencing prior to January 1,
1999, or the date established for plan
amendment by any legislation that is ef-
fective after the date of the plan’s letter.
A plan with extended reliance must be
amended by the last day of the first plan
year beginning on or after January 1,
1999, to the extent necessary to comply
with regulations or administrative guid-
ance of general applicability that has been
issued since the date of the plan’s favor-
able TRA 86 letter. These amendments
must be made effective no later than the
first day of the first plan year beginning
on or after January 1, 1999, and 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.)
.11 For nonelecting church plans, No-
tice 98–39, 1998–33 I.R.B. 11, extended
the remedial amendment period for plan
amendments relating to regulations under
§§ 401(a)(4), 401(a)(5), 401(l), and 414(s)
(“TRA 86 remedial amendment period”)
until the last day of the first plan year be-
ginning on or after January 1, 2001. The
remedial amendment period was not ex-
tended for other amendments covered by
the TRA 86 remedial amendment period,
such as amendments required to satisfy
the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1993 (“OBRA 93”), the Unemployment
Compensation Act of 1992 (“UCA”), or
the changes to the law under TRA 86 other
than changes to the nondiscrimination
rules. Sponsors of nonelecting church
plans were required by Notice 96–64,
1996–2 C.B. 229, to adopt amendments
satisfying those changes in law by the last
day of the first plan year beginning on or
after January 1, 1999.
.12 For governmental plans, Notice
96–64, citing Announcement 95–48,
1995–23 I.R.B. 13, provided that the TRA
86 remedial amendment period for plan
amendments relating to regulations under
§§ 401(a)(4), 401(a)(26), 401(k), 401(m),
410(b), and 414(s) was extended to the
last day of the first plan year beginning on
or after the later of January 1, 1999, or 90
days after the opening of the first legisla-
tive session beginning on or after January
1, 1999 (“1999 legislative date”). This
extension of the TRA 86 remedial amend-
ment period for governmental plans ap-
plied to all amendments relating to TRA
86, UCA, and OBRA 93, not just the
nondiscrimination requirements.
SECTION 3. EXTENSION OF
REMEDIAL AMENDMENT PERIOD
.01 The remedial amendment period
described in Rev. Proc. 97–41 and Rev.
Proc. 98–14, hereafter referred to as the
“GUST” remedial amendment period, is,
in the case of nongovernmental plans,
hereby extended to the last day of the first
plan year beginning on or after January 1,
2000. This extension does not alter the
GUST remedial amendment period for
governmental plans described in Rev.
Proc. 98–14.
.02 This extension also applies to the
remedial amendment period with respect
to disqualifying provisions of new plans
adopted or effective after December 7,
1994, and with respect to plan amend-
ments adopted after December 7, 1994,
which would cause an existing plan to fail
to be qualified.
.03 This extension also extends the
deadline for adopting plan amendments
1999–16 I.R.B.7April 19, 1999

applying the changes under § 415(b)-
(2)(E) and the deadline for adopting a
plan amendment repealing a pre-August
20, 1996, GATT plan amendment, thereby
permitting the earlier plan amendment to
be disregarded in applying § 767(d)(3)(A)
of GATT, as modified by § 1449(a) of
SBJPA.
.04 The deadline, under Notice 98–52,
for amending plan provisions that are in-
tegral to a qualification requirement
changed by a provision of SBJPA that be-
comes effective on the first day of the first
plan year beginning after December 31,
1998, is also extended to the end of the
GUST remedial amendment period. In
addition, the requirement, under Notice
98–52, that such plan provisions, as
amended, must be effective as of the first
day of the first plan year beginning after
December 31, 1998, is eliminated. In-
stead, such plan provisions, as amended,
must be effective no earlier than the first
day of the first plan year beginning after
December 31, 1998. Thus, for example,
an existing § 401(k) plan may be
amended by the last day of the 2000 plan
year, retroactive to the first day of that
year (or to the first day of the 1999 plan
year), to satisfy the safe harbors in
§ 401(k)(12) and § 401(m)(11) for the
2000 plan year (or for both the 1999 and
2000 plan years). Lastly, Notice 98–52 is
modified to provide that a plan amend-
ment that is made within the GUST reme-
dial amendment period will not be treated
as violating § 411(d)(6) merely because
the plan amendment imposes the with-
drawal restrictions required by § 401(k)-
(12)(E)(i), but only if those withdrawal
restrictions do not apply with respect to
contributions allocated as of a date before
the first day of the first plan year for
which the plan satisfies the safe harbor.
.05 The deadline, under Notice 99–5,
for amending plan provisions that are in-
tegral to the requirements of § 401(a)(31)
to reflect the change made by § 6005(c)-
(2) of RRA 98 is also extended to the end
of the GUST remedial amendment period.
The requirement, under Notice 99–5, that
such plan provisions, as amended, must
be effective as of the first day the plan op-
erates in accordance with the change
made by § 6005(c)(2) of RRA 98 contin-
ues to apply.
.06 Finally, the extension of the reme-
dial amendment period also applies to the
time for adopting amendments of defined
benefit plans to provide that benefits will
be determined in accordance with the ap-
plicable interest rate rules and applicable
mortality table rules of § 1.417(e)–1(d).
Thus, such a plan amendment may be
adopted at any time up to the last day of
the extended remedial amendment period,
provided the amendment is made effec-
tive for distributions with annuity starting
dates occurring in plan years beginning
after December 31, 1999. However, pur-
suant to the Commissioner’s authority in
§1.401(b)–1T(c)(3), if such a plan
amendment is adopted after the last day of
the last plan year beginning before Janu-
ary 1, 2000, the amendment must provide
that, with respect to distributions with an-
nuity starting dates that are after the last
day of that plan year but before the date of
adoption of the amendment, the distribu-
tion will be the greater of the amount that
would be determined under the plan with-
out regard to the amendment and the
amount determined under the plan with
regard to the amendment.
.07 The TRA 86 remedial amendment
period for governmental plans is hereby
extended to the end of the GUST remedial
amendment period for governmental
plans described in Rev. Proc. 98–14, and
the TRA 86 remedial amendment period
for nonelecting church plans is hereby ex-
tended to the last day of the first plan year
beginning on or after January 1, 2000.
Accordingly, governmental plans need
not be amended to comply with TRA 86,
UCA, or OBRA 93 (to the extent the pro-
visions of those acts apply) until the date
described in Rev. Proc. 98–14. In accor-
dance with Notice 98–39, nonelecting
church plans need not be amended to
comply with the regulations under §§
401(a)(4), 401(l), 410(b), or 414(s) until
the last day of the first plan year begin-
ning on or after January 1, 2001. For all
other applicable provisions of those acts,
however, nonelecting church plans must
be amended by the last day of the first
plan year beginning on or after January 1,
2000. The additional 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 amendment periods with respect
to the applicable nondiscrimination re-
quirements.
SECTION 4. DESIGNATION OF PLAN
PROVISIONS INTEGRAL TO § 415(e)
AS DISQUALIFYING PROVISIONS
A plan provision is hereby designated
as a disqualifying provision under
§ 1.401(b)–1(b) if the plan provision
causes a plan to fail to satisfy the qualifi-
cation requirements of the Code because
of the repeal of the combined plan limita-
tion of § 415(e) by § 1452(a) of SBJPA or
if the provision is integral to the limitation
of § 415(e), as in effect prior to its repeal
by § 1452(a) of SBJPA, provided the fol-
lowing conditions are satisfied. First, the
plan provision must be amended to reflect
the repeal of § 415(e) by the end of the
GUST remedial amendment period. Sec-
ond, in the case of a plan provision that is
integral to the limitation of § 415(e), the
plan provision, as amended, may not be
effective earlier than the first day on
which the plan was operated in accor-
dance with the amended provision.
SECTION 5. EXTENSION OF
EXTENDED RELIANCE PERIOD
The TRA 86 extended reliance period is
extended by one year. A plan with ex-
tended reliance must therefore 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 that have
been issued since the date of the plan’s fa-
vorable TRA 86 letter. These amendments
must be made effective no later than the
first day of the first plan year beginning on
or after January 1, 2000, and, except in the
case of master or prototype or other pre-
approved plans, no earlier than the first day
of the plan year in which the amendments
are adopted. (But see Rev. Rul. 94–76 and
Rev. Rul. 96–47.)

Part IV. Items of General Interest
Cumulative Bulletin Continued
With a New Format
Announcement 99–36
Last year the Service solicited com-
ments on a proposal to discontinue publi-
cation of the cumulative bulletin (CB).
The proposal was printed in the Federal
Register dated October 2, 1998. Based on
responses from taxpayers, tax practition-
ers, and government agencies, the Service
has decided to continue publishing the
CB.
Beginning with CB 1998–1, the CB
will contain the same information but will
have a new format.
1. Reprints of the weekly Internal Rev-
enue Bulletins (IRBs) issued during the
year will now be bound together to form
the CB. Volume 1 will contain the first 26
issues of the IRB (1998–27 to 1998–52).
Previously, the CB was created by consol-
idating Parts I-IV of the IRBs into Parts I-
IV of the CB.
2. The CB will now include a new cu-
mulative list titled “List of Rulings and
Decisions Under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986.” This list will be organized
by code section and will identify, by cita-
tion only, the revenue rulings, revenue
procedures, notices, and announcements
that impact each code section. It will con-
tain the page numbers in the CB. It can be
used in the same manner as the “Numeri-
cal Finding List,” which will now provide
both the page number in the IRB and the
page number in the CB.
3. The cumulative “Finding List of
Current Actions on Previously Published
Items” and the “Index” will also identify
both the IRB and CB page numbers.
There will be no change to the manner in
which the CB is cited.
4. Announcements that are published in
the IRBs will be included in the CB. Pre-
vious CBs did not include announcements.
5. A list of “Actions Relating to Deci-
sions of the Tax Court” and a list of “Dis-
barments and Suspensions” will remain as
components of the CB.
6. Public laws relating to taxes will
continue to be provided in volume 3 of
the CB. If additional volumes are needed
to published public laws, the CBs will be
labeled consecutively as volume 4, 5, etc.
Announcement 99–40
On July 1, 1998, temporary regulations
T.D. 8774, 1998–30 I.R.B. 5, were pub-
lished in the Federal Register (63 F.R.
35799) relating to the kerosene excise tax.
Recently, a group of taxpayers has ad-
vised the Internal Revenue Service that
the taxpayers were unaware that they
needed to be registered by the IRS for
purposes of this tax. To address the prob-
lem, the final kerosene tax regulations
will provide the following rules: (1) The
period during which persons are treated as
registered under the transitional registra-
tion rule, which currently is scheduled to
expire on April 1, 1999, will instead ex-
pire on July 1, 1999; (2) Airlines, other
aircraft operators, and fixed base opera-
tors that store kerosene in a terminal, and
kerosene terminal operators will be
treated as registered for purposes of the
kerosene tax under the transitional regis-
tration rule. Further, the IRS will provide
an expedited kerosene tax registration
procedure.
Under the expedited procedure, per-
sons that apply for registration with their
IRS district office by May 14, 1999, will
be given either a conditional Letter of
Registration or a denial by June 30, 1999.
To apply, an applicant files Form 637, Ap-
plication for Registration (For Certain Ex-
cise Tax Activities), under activity S. An
“S” registration is in addition to any “H”
or “Y” registration an applicant may have
received. Form 637 is filed with the IRS
district director for the district where the
applicant has its principal place of busi-
ness. An applicant may obtain the ad-
dress of its district director by calling 1-
800-829-1040. Applicants who do not
have a principal place of business in the
United States file Form 637 with the IRS,

Deletions From Cumulative List
of Organizations Contributions
to Which are Deductible Under
Section 170 of the Code
Announcement 99–45
The name of an organization that no
longer qualifies as an organization de-
scribed in section 170(c)(2) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 is listed below.
Generally, the Service will not disallow
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 Service is not pre-
April 19, 1999121999–16 I.R.B.

cluded from disallowing a deduction for
any contributions made after an organiza-
tion ceases to qualify under section
170(c)(2) if the organization has not
timely filed a suit for declaratory judg-
ment under section 7428 and if the con-
tributor (1) had knowledge of the revoca-
tion of the ruling or determination letter,
(2) was aware that such revocation was
imminent, or (3) was in part responsible
for or was aware of the activities or omis-
sions of the organization that brought
about this revocation.
If on the other hand a suit for declara-
tory judgment has been timely filed, con-
tributions from individuals and organiza-
tions described in section 170(c)(2) that
are otherwise allowable will continue to
be deductible. Protection under section
7428(c) would begin on April 19, 1999,
and would end on the date the court first
determines that the organization is not de-
scribed in section 170(c)(2) as more par-
ticularly set forth in section 7428(c)(1).
For individual contributors, the maximum
deduction protected is $1,000, with a hus-
band and wife treated as one contributor.
This benefit is not extended to any indi-
vidual, in whole or in part, for the acts or
omissions of the organization that were
the basis for revocation.

Announcement of the Consent Voluntary Suspension of Attorneys,
Certified Public Accountants, Enrolled Agents, and Enrolled Actuaries
From Practice Before the Internal Revenue Service
Under 31 Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 10, an attorney, certified public ac-
countant, enrolled agent, or enrolled ac-
tuary, in order to avoid the institution or
conclusion of a proceeding for his disbar-
ment or suspension from practice before
the Internal Revenue Service, may offer

tice. The Director of Practice, in his dis-
cretion, may suspend an attorney, certi-
fied public accountant, enrolled agent, or
enrolled actuary in accordance with the
consent offered.
Attorneys, certified public accountants,
enrolled agents, and enrolled actuaries are
prohibited in any Internal Revenue Ser-
vice matter from directly or indirectly em-
ploying, accepting assistance from, being
employed by, or sharing fees with any
practitioner disbarred or suspended from
practice before the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice.
To enable attorneys, certified public ac-
countants, enrolled agents, and enrolled
actuaries to identify practitioners under
consent suspension from practice before the
Internal Revenue Service, the Director
of Practice will announce in the Internal
Revenue Bulletin the names and ad-
dresses of practitioners who have been
suspended from such practice, their desig-
nation as attorney, certified public ac-
countant, enrolled agent, or enrolled actu-
ary, and date or period of suspension. This
announcement will appear in the weekly
Bulletin at the earliest practicable date

pear in the weekly Bulletins for five suc-
cessive weeks or for as many weeks as is

The following individuals have been
placed under consent suspension from

vice:

1999–16 I.R.B.25April 19, 1999
Revenue rulings and revenue procedures
(hereinafter referred to as “rulings”)
that have an effect on previous rulings
use the following defined terms to de-
scribe 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.
