In the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register, the IRS is issuing temporary regulations that provide guidance regarding the distribution by a distributing corporation of stock or securities of a controlled corporation without the recognition of income, gain, or loss. The temporary regulations provide guidance in determining whether a corporation is a predecessor or successor of a distributing or controlled corporation for purposes of the exception under section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code to the nonrecognition treatment afforded qualifying distributions, and they provide certain limitations on the recognition of gain in certain cases involving a predecessor of a distributing corporation. The temporary regulations also provide rules regarding the extent to which section 355(f) causes a distributing corporation (and in certain cases its shareholders) to recognize income or gain on the distribution of stock or securities of a controlled corporation. Those temporary regulations affect corporations that distribute the stock or securities of controlled corporations and their shareholders or security holders of those distributing corporations. The text of those temporary regulations serves as the text of these proposed regulations.

SUMMARY: In the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the 
Federal Register, the IRS is issuing temporary regulations that provide 
guidance regarding the distribution by a distributing corporation of 
stock or securities of a controlled corporation without the recognition 
of income, gain, or loss. The temporary regulations provide guidance in 
determining whether a corporation is a predecessor or successor of a 
distributing or controlled corporation for purposes of the exception 
under section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code to the nonrecognition 
treatment afforded qualifying distributions, and they provide certain 
limitations on the recognition of gain in certain cases involving a 
predecessor of a distributing corporation. The temporary regulations 
also provide rules regarding the extent to which section 355(f) causes 
a distributing corporation (and in certain cases its shareholders) to 
recognize income or gain on the distribution of stock or securities of 
a controlled corporation. Those temporary regulations affect 
corporations that distribute the stock or securities of controlled 
corporations and their shareholders or security holders of those 
distributing corporations. The text of those temporary regulations 
serves as the text of these proposed regulations.

DATES: Comments and requests for a public hearing must be received by 
March 20, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Send submissions to: CC:PA:LPD:PR (REG-140328-15), Room 
5203, Internal Revenue Service, P.O. Box 7604, Ben Franklin Station,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Explanation of Provisions

    On November 22, 2004, the Treasury Department and the IRS published 
in the Federal Register (69 FR 67873) a

[[Page 91889]]

notice of proposed rulemaking (REG-145535-02) containing proposed 
regulations under section 355(e)(4)(D) (the 2004 proposed regulations). 
Those proposed regulations are withdrawn. This notice of proposed 
rulemaking cross-references to temporary regulations contained in a 
Treasury decision published in the Rules and Regulations section of 
this issue of the Federal Register which amend the Income Tax 
Regulations (26 CFR part 1) relating to section 355(e) by adopting the 
2004 proposed regulations with certain significant modifications. The 
Background and Explanation of Provisions contained in the preamble of 
the temporary regulations also serves as part of this preamble.

Special Analyses

    Certain IRS regulations, including this one, are exempt from the 
requirements of Executive Order 12866, as supplemented and reaffirmed 
by Executive Order 13653. Therefore, a regulatory impact assessment is 
not required. Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 
chapter 6), it is hereby certified that these proposed regulations 
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. This certification is based on the fact that these 
proposed regulations would primarily affect large corporations with a 
substantial number of shareholders, as well as corporations that are 
members of large corporate groups. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility 
analysis is not required. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Code, this 
regulation has been submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the 
Small Business Administration for comment on its impact on small 
business.

Comments and Requests for Public Hearing

    Before these proposed regulations are adopted as final regulations, 
consideration will be given to any comments that are submitted timely 
to the IRS as prescribed in this preamble under the ADDRESSES heading. 
The Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on all aspects of 
the proposed rules. All comments will be available at 
www.regulations.gov or upon request. A public hearing will be scheduled 
if requested in writing by any person that timely submits written 
comments. If a public hearing is scheduled, notice of the date, time, 
and place for the hearing will be published in the Federal Register.

Drafting Information

    The principal author of these regulations is Lynlee C. Baker, 
formerly of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Corporate). However, 
other personnel from the Treasury Department and the IRS participated 
in their development.
