``These final regulations do not override the application of section 
704(c), including reverse section 704(c), and therefore the final 
regulations provide that the rules of section 706 do not apply in 
making allocations of book items upon a partnership revaluation.''

heading ``Effective/Applicability Dates'', fifth line of the first
