SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Nuclear Decommissioning Fund 

Qualification Requirements. 

OMB Number: 1545–1269. 

Regulation Project Number: T.D. 8461. 

Abstract: Section 468A outlines rules 

governing the treatment of a qualified 

nuclear decommissioning fund and 

contributions to such a fund. Section 

1.468A–5 (a)(l)(i) of the Income Tax 

Regulations requires that each qualified 

nuclear decommissioning fund be 

established as a trust under State law. 

Certain trusts may constitute 

associations taxable as corporations 

under classification standards set forth 

in sections 301.7701–2 through 

301.7701–4. If a trust is classified as a 

taxable corporation, the corporate tax 

could deplete the assets in the fund, 

thereby impairing their ability to 

achieve the purpose for which they 

were created. In addition, the 

classification of a fund will impact on 

the schedule of ruling amounts 

approved by the Service under section 

468A. 

Current Actions: There is no change to 

this existing regulation. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

50. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 3 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 150. 

The following paragraph applies to all
