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 Unpublished rulings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.

Review of Issues Raised By
“New Comparability” Plans
Notice 2000-14
I. PURPOSE
The Internal Revenue Service and the
Treasury Department are undertaking a
review of issues posed by “new compara-
bility” plans and invite public comments.
The Service and Treasury believe it is ap-
propriate at this time to review the effect
of these rapidly evolving plan designs
with the benefit of comments from plan
sponsors, plan participants, and other in-
terested parties.
New comparability plans (and similar
plan designs such as “super-integrated”
plans) are defined contribution plans that
generally restrict higher rates of employer
contributions to highly compensated em-
ployees. The focus of this review is the
nondiscrimination requirements applica-
ble to these plans.
Section 401(a)(4) of the Internal Rev-
enue Code provides that a plan is a quali-
fied plan only if the contributions or the
benefits provided under the plan do not
discriminate in favor of highly compen-
sated employees. For purposes of deter-
mining whether nonelective employer
contributions under a defined contribution
plan discriminate in favor of highly com-
pensated employees, the regulations
under § 401(a)(4) permit such contribu-
tions either to be tested on a present value
basis or to be “cross-tested” on a future
value basis. Under this cross-testing
method, contributions are converted to
and tested as equivalent benefits payable
at normal retirement age; the conversion
is done by making an actuarial projection
of the benefits payable at normal retire-
ment age that are attributable to such con-
tributions. Thus, this cross-testing
method effectively permits nonelective
employer contributions under a defined
contribution plan to be tested as the
equivalent of employer-provided benefits
under a defined benefit plan.
Notwithstanding the analytical under-
pinnings of cross-testing, the Service and
Treasury are concerned whether cross-
tested plan designs that provide for built-
in disparities in contribution rates be-
tween highly compensated and nonhighly
compensated employees can be recon-
ciled with the basic purpose of the nondis-
crimination rules as applied to defined
contribution plans. In this regard, the Ser-
vice and Treasury are reviewing whether
it is appropriate in all cases, without re-
gard to the particular structure of a cross-
tested defined contribution plan, to allow
the projected future value of employer
contributions to be tested as the equiva-
lent of employer-provided benefits under
a defined benefit plan.
For example, in a typical new compara-
bility plan, highly compensated employ-
ees (who tend to be older than a majority
of nonhighly compensated employees) re-
ceive high allocation rates (often 18% to
20% of compensation), while nonhighly
compensated employees, regardless of
their age or years of service, receive com-
paratively low allocation rates (e.g., 3%
of compensation). In the typical case,
there is a sufficient number of young non-
highly compensated employees to enable
the employer to demonstrate compliance
with the nondiscrimination standards by
comparing the actuarially projected value
of the small allocations for those young
nonhighly compensated employees with
the actuarially projected value of the sub-
stantially larger allocations for older
highly compensated employees. The Ser-
vice and Treasury are concerned that, by
plan design, nonhighly compensated em-
ployees never have an opportunity to earn
the higher allocation rates as they work
additional years for the employer and
grow older. Further, when a sponsor re-
places its existing defined contribution
plan with a new comparability plan, rank-
and-file employees may suffer significant
reductions in their allocation rates, while
owners and executives may benefit from a
significant increase in their allocation
rates.
II. POSSIBLE APPROACHES
In their review of new comparability
plans, the Service and Treasury are con-
sidering what modifications to the exist-
ing rules applicable to these plans might
be appropriate. It is anticipated that any
such modifications would be applied to
plans, including existing plans, on a
prospective basis only.
One possible approach to address the
issues raised by new comparability plans
would be to provide that, for purposes of
determining whether a defined contribu-
tion plan satisfies
§ 1.401(a)(4)–8(b)(1) of the Income
Tax Regulations (i.e., the rules governing
the cross-testing of defined contribution
plans), the right to receive each rate of
nonelective employer contributions must
be currently and effectively available on a
nondiscriminatory basis, determined in a
manner generally patterned after the ap-
proach under § 1.401(a)(4)–4 of the regu-
lations. These regulations already contain
a requirement that rates of the other three
basic types of contributions — elective
contributions, after-tax employee contri-
butions, and employer matching contribu-
tions — be made currently and effectively
available in a nondiscriminatory manner.
If such an approach were adopted,
however, it is anticipated that, subject to
certain conditions, a plan would be per-
mitted to disregard differences in rates of
nonelective contributions that result from
differences in attained age or service for
purposes of determining whether contri-
bution rates are currently available in a
nondiscriminatory manner. Accordingly,
under such an approach, the Service and
Treasury anticipate that cross-testing
would continue to be a permissible testing
alternative for generic age-weighted or
service-based defined contribution plans
(plans under which younger and shorter-
service participants become entitled to
higher allocation rates as they age and ac-
cumulate more service) and certain other
appropriate plan designs.
Comments are invited on this and other
possible approaches (including appropriate
exceptions) to address the issues raised by
new comparability plans. It is requested
that comments be submitted by May 15,

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.
