defined in § 1.751–1(a)). Immediately before the sale, PRS’s balance sheet appears as 

follows: 

Adjusted basis Fair market 

value 

U.S. Business capital asset ..................................................................................................................................... $20x $50x 

U.S. Business inventory .......................................................................................................................................... 30x 50x 

Country A Business capital asset ............................................................................................................................ 100x 80x 

Country A Business inventory ................................................................................................................................. 50x 10x 

Total .................................................................................................................................................................. 200x 190x 

(ii) Analysis—(A) Outside gain or loss. FP 

is a foreign transferor (within the meaning of 

paragraph (g)(3) of this section) and transfers 

(within the meaning of paragraph (g)(5) of 

this section) its interest in PRS to X. Under 

sections 741 and 751, FP recognizes a $10x 

ordinary loss and a $5x capital gain. See 

§ 1.751–1(a). Under paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this 

section, FP has outside ordinary loss equal to 

$10x and outside capital gain equal to $5x. 

Under paragraph (b)(1) of this section, FP’s 

outside ordinary loss and outside capital gain 

are treated as effectively connected loss and 

effectively connected gain to the extent that 

each does not exceed the applicable 

limitation described in paragraph (b)(3) of 

this section. In the case of FP’s outside 

ordinary loss, the applicable limitation is 

FP’s aggregate deemed sale EC ordinary loss. 

In the case of FP’s outside capital gain, the 

applicable limitation is FP’s aggregate 

deemed sale EC capital gain. 

(B) Deemed sale. FP’s aggregate deemed 

sale EC ordinary loss and aggregate deemed 

sale EC capital gain are determined according 

to the three-step process set forth in 

paragraph (c) of this section. 

(1) Step 1. The amount of gain or loss that 

PRS would recognize with respect to each of 

its assets upon a deemed sale described in 

paragraph (c)(1) of this section is as follows: 

Asset Gain/(loss) 

U.S. Business capital asset .. $30x 

U.S. Business inventory ....... 20x 

Country A Business capital 

asset .................................. (20x) 

Country A Business inventory .................................... (40x) 

(2) Step 2. Under paragraph (c)(2) of this 

section, PRS’s deemed sale EC gain and 

deemed sale EC loss must be determined 

with respect to each asset. The amounts 

determined under paragraph (c)(2) of this 

section are as follows: 

Asset Deemed sale 

EC gain/(loss) 

U.S. Business capital asset .. $30x 

U.S. Business inventory ....... 20x 

Country A Business capital 

asset .................................. 0 

Country A Business inventory .................................... 0 

(3) Step 3. Under paragraph (c)(3) of this 

section, FP’s aggregate deemed sale EC 

capital gain is $15x (that is, the aggregate of 

its distributive share of deemed sale EC gain 

that is attributable to the deemed sale of 

assets that are not section 751(a) property, 

which is 50% of $30x) and FP’s aggregate 

deemed sale EC ordinary loss is $0 (that is, 

the aggregate of its distributive share of 

deemed sale EC loss that is attributable to the 

deemed sale of assets that are section 751(a) 

property). 

(C) Limitation—(i) Capital gain. Under 

paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section, the $5x 

outside capital gain recognized by FP is 

treated as effectively connected gain to the 

extent that it does not exceed FP’s $15x 

aggregate deemed sale EC capital gain. 

Accordingly, the amount of FP’s capital gain 

that is treated as effectively connected gain 

is $5x. 

(ii) Ordinary loss. Under paragraph 

(b)(3)(iv) of this section, the $10x outside 

ordinary loss recognized by FP is treated as 

effectively connected loss to the extent that 

it does not exceed FP’s $0 aggregate deemed 

sale EC ordinary loss. Accordingly, the 

amount of FP’s ordinary loss that is treated 

as effectively connected loss is $0. 

(j) Applicability date. This section applies 

to transfers occurring on or after November 

27, 2017. 

■ Par. 3. Section 1.897–7 is added to 

read as follows: 

§ 1.897–7 Treatment of certain partnership 

interests, trusts and estates under section 

897(g). 

(a) through (b) [Reserved]. For further 

guidance, see § 1.897–7T(a) through (b). 

(c) Coordination with section 

864(c)(8). Except as provided in 

§ 1.864(c)(8)–1, the amount of any 

money, and the fair market value of any 

property, received by a nonresident 

alien individual or foreign corporation 

in exchange for all or part of its interest 

in a partnership, trust, or estate shall, to 

the extent attributable to United States 

real property interests, be considered as 

an amount received from the sale or 

exchange in the United States of such 

property. See also § 1.864(c)(8)–1(h) for 

an anti-stuffing rule that may apply to 

transactions subject to section 897. This 

paragraph applies to transfers occurring 

on or after November 27, 2017. 

■ Par. 4. Section 1.897–7T is amended 

by adding paragraph (c) to read as 

follows: 

§ 1.897–7T Treatment of certain 

partnership interests as entirely U.S. real 

property interests under sections 897(g) 

and 1445(e) (temporary). 

* * * * * 

(c) Coordination with section 

864(c)(8). [Reserved]. For further 

guidance, see § 1.897–7(c).

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the ANE program is to support 

innovative projects that recognize and 

address the unique education needs of 

Alaska Natives. These projects must 

include the activities authorized under 

section 6304(a)(2) of the ESEA, as 

amended by the ESSA, and may include 

one or more of the activities authorized 

under section 6304(a)(3) of the ESEA. 

Program Authority: Title VI, part C of 

the ESEA (20 U.S.C. 7541–7546). 

Proposed Definitions 

Background 

The ESEA, reauthorized in December 

2015,1 established new requirements 

governing eligibility for the ANE 

program. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, the 

Department conducted the first ANE 

program grant competition under the 

new ESEA requirements. Through this 

document the Department is proposing 

definitions and requirements that will 

apply to future competitions. 

Prior to the FY 2017 competition, and 

in June 2018, to gather feedback about 

how the statutory amendments should 

be implemented, the Department 

conducted a Tribal consultation and 

several listening sessions. These events 

informed the provisions that governed 

the FY 2017 competition, announced 

through a notice inviting applications in 

the Federal Register on May 15, 2017 

(82 FR 22323), and the proposed 

definitions and requirements in this 

document. 

Under section 6304(a)(1) of the ESEA, 

three types of entities are eligible for 

grants under the ANE program: 

(a) Alaska Native organizations 

(ANOs) with experience operating 

programs that fulfill the purposes of the 

ANE program; 

(b) ANOs that do not have experience 

operating programs that fulfill the 

purposes of the ANE program, but are in 

partnership with— 

(i) A State educational agency (SEA) 

or local educational agency (LEA); or 

(ii) An ANO that operates a program 

that fulfills the purposes of the ANE 

program; and 

(c) An entity located in Alaska, and 

predominately governed by Alaska 

Natives, that does not meet the 

definition of an ANO but— 

(i) Has experience operating programs 

that fulfill the purposes of the ANE 

program; and 

(ii) Is granted an official charter or 

sanction from at least one Alaska Native 

tribe or ANO to carry out programs that 

meet the purposes of the ANE program. 

For the FY 2017 competition, we 

waived notice-and-comment 

rulemaking, as permitted under section 

437(d)(1) of the General Education 

Provisions Act, to define several of these 

statutory terms related to eligible 

entities. 

In this document, the Assistant 

Secretary proposes three definitions for 

this program to clarify these eligibility 

requirements. These proposed 

definitions are substantially similar to 

those used for the FY 2017 competition, 

but we have made minor adjustments to 

improve their clarity. We may apply one 

or more of these definitions in any year 

in which this program is in effect. 

Proposed Definitions 

Experience operating programs that 

fulfill the purposes of the ANE program 

means that the entity has received and 

satisfactorily administered, in 

compliance with applicable terms and 

conditions, a grant under the ANE 

program or another Department program 

within the past four years that focused 

on meeting the unique education needs 

of Alaska Native children and families 

in Alaska. 

Official charter or sanction means a 

signed letter or written agreement from 

an Alaska Native Tribe or ANO that is 

dated within 120 days of the date of the 

submission of the application and 

expressly (1) authorizes the applicant to 

conduct activities authorized under the 

ANE program and (2) describes the 

nature of those activities. 

Predominately governed by Alaska 

Natives means that at least 80 percent of 

the individuals on the entity’s governing 

board (i.e., the board elected or 

appointed to direct the policies of the 

organization) are Alaska Natives. 

Proposed Requirements 

Background: The proposed 

requirements would clarify the 

information needed for entities to 

establish whether they meet the 

eligibility requirements, including the 

proposed definitions, for the program. 


khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with PROPOSAL
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 247 / Thursday, December 27, 2018 / Proposed Rules 66657 

These application requirements are 

substantially similar to those used in the 

FY 2017 ANE competition, but we have 

made minor adjustments to improve 

their clarity. 

The Assistant Secretary proposes the 

following requirements for this program. 

We may apply one or more of these 

requirements in any year in which this 

program is in effect. 

Proposed Requirement 1—Group 

Application Requirement. 

(a) An ANO that applies for a grant in 

partnership with an SEA or LEA must 

serve as the fiscal agent for the project. 

(b) Group applications under the ANE 

program must include a partnership 

agreement that includes a Memorandum 

of Understanding or a Memorandum of 

Agreement (MOU/MOA) between the 

members of the partnership identified 

and discussed in the grant application. 

Each MOU/MOA must— 

(1) Be signed by all partners, and 

dated within 120 days of the date of the 

submission of the application; 

(2) Clearly outline the work to be 

completed by each partner that will 

participate in the grant in order to 

accomplish the goals and objectives of 

the project; and 

(3) Demonstrate an alignment between 

the activities, roles, and responsibilities 

described in the grant application for 

each of the partners in the partnership 

agreement. 

Proposed Requirement 2—Applicants 

Establishing Eligibility through a 

Charter or Sanction from an Alaska 

Native Tribe or ANO. 

For an entity that does not meet the 

eligibility requirements for an ANO, 

established in sections 6304(a)(1) and 

6306(2) of the ESEA and the proposed 

definitions in this notice, and that seeks 

to establish eligibility through a charter 

or sanction provided by an Alaska 

Native Tribe or ANO as required under 

section 6304(a)(1)(C)(ii) of the ESEA, the 

following documentation is required: 

(1) Written documentation 

demonstrating that the entity is 

physically located in the State of 

Alaska. 

(2) Written documentation 

demonstrating that the entity has 

experience operating programs that 

fulfill the purposes of the ANE program. 

(3) Written documentation 

demonstrating that the entity is 

predominately governed by Alaska 

Natives, including the total number, 

names, and Tribal affiliations of 

members of the governing board. 

(4) A copy of the official charter or 

sanction provided to the entity by an 

Alaska Native Tribe or ANO. 

Final Definitions and Requirements 

We will announce the final 

definitions and requirements in a 

document published in the Federal 

Register. We will determine the final 

definitions and requirements after 

considering comments on the proposed 

definitions and requirements and other 

information available to the Department. 

This document does not preclude us 

from proposing additional definitions or 

requirements, or proposing priorities or 

selection criteria for the ANE program, 

subject to meeting applicable 

rulemaking requirements. 

Note: This document does not solicit 

applications. In any year in which we 

choose to use one or more of these 

definitions and requirements, we invite 

applications through a notice in the 

Federal Register. 

Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and 

13771 

Regulatory Impact Analysis 

Under Executive Order 12866, it must 

be determined whether this regulatory 

action is ‘‘significant’’ and, therefore, 

subject to the requirements of the 

Executive Order and subject to review 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB). Section 3(f) of Executive 

Order 12866 defines a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ as an action likely to 

result in a rule that may— 

(1) Have an annual effect on the 

economy of $100 million or more, or 

adversely affect a sector of the economy, 

productivity, competition, jobs, the 

environment, public health or safety, or 

State, local, or Tribal governments or 

communities in a material way (also 

referred to as an ‘‘economically 

significant’’ rule); 

(2) Create serious inconsistency or 

otherwise interfere with an action taken 

or planned by another agency; 

(3) Materially alter the budgetary 

impacts of entitlement grants, user fees, 

or loan programs, or the rights and 

obligations of recipients thereof; or 

(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues 

arising out of legal mandates, the 

President’s priorities, or the principles 

stated in the Executive order. 

This proposed regulatory action is not 

a significant regulatory action subject to 

review by OMB under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866. 

Under Executive Order 13771, for 

each new regulation that the 

Department proposes for notice and 

comment, or otherwise promulgates, 

that is a significant regulatory action 

under Executive Order 12866 and that 

imposes total costs greater than zero, it 

must identify two deregulatory actions. 

For FY 2019, any new incremental costs 

associated with a new regulation must 

be fully offset by the elimination of 

existing costs through deregulatory 

actions. Because the proposed 

regulatory action is not significant, the 

requirements of Executive Order 13771 

do not apply. 

We have also reviewed this proposed 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

13563, which supplements and 

explicitly reaffirms the principles, 

structures, and definitions governing 

regulatory review established in 

Executive Order 12866. To the extent 

permitted by law, Executive Order 

13563 requires that an agency— 

(1) Propose or adopt regulations only 

upon a reasoned determination that 

their benefits justify their costs 

(recognizing that some benefits and 

costs are difficult to quantify); 

(2) Tailor its regulations to impose the 

least burden on society, consistent with 

obtaining regulatory objectives and 

taking into account—among other things 

and to the extent practicable—the costs 

of cumulative regulations; 

(3) In choosing among alternative 

regulatory approaches, select those 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety, 

and other advantages; distributive 

impacts; and equity); 

(4) To the extent feasible, specify 

performance objectives, rather than the 

behavior or manner of compliance a 

regulated entity must adopt; and 

(5) Identify and assess available 

alternatives to direct regulation, 

including economic incentives—such as 

user fees or marketable permits—to 

encourage the desired behavior, or 

provide information that enables the 

public to make choices. 

Executive Order 13563 also requires 

an agency ‘‘to use the best available 

techniques to quantify anticipated 

present and future benefits and costs as 

accurately as possible.’’ The Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs of 

OMB has emphasized that these 

techniques may include ‘‘identifying 

changing future compliance costs that 

might result from technological 

innovation or anticipated behavioral 

changes.’’ 

We are issuing these proposed 

definitions and requirements only on a 

reasoned determination that their 

benefits would justify their costs. In 

choosing among alternative regulatory 

approaches, we selected those 

approaches that would maximize net 

benefits. Based on the analysis that 

follows, the Department believes that 

this regulatory action is consistent with 

the principles in Executive Order 13563. 


khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with PROPOSAL
66658 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 247 / Thursday, December 27, 2018 / Proposed Rules 

We also have determined that this 

proposed regulatory action would not 

unduly interfere with State, local, and 

Tribal governments in the exercise of 

their governmental functions. 

In accordance with these Executive 

orders, the Department has assessed the 

potential costs and benefits, both 

quantitative and qualitative, of this 

regulatory action. The potential costs 

are those resulting from statutory 

requirements and those we have 

determined as necessary for 

administering the Department’s 

programs and activities. 

Discussion of Costs and Benefits 

We have determined that these 

proposed definitions and requirements 

would impose minimal costs on eligible 

applicants. Program participation is 

voluntary, and the costs imposed on 

applicants by these definitions and 

requirements would be limited to 

paperwork burden related to preparing 

an application. The potential benefits of 

implementing the programs would 

outweigh any costs incurred by 

applicants, and the costs of actually 

carrying out activities associated with 

the application would be paid for with 

program funds. For these reasons, we 

have determined that the costs of 

implementation would not be 

excessively burdensome for eligible 

applicants, including small entities. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

These proposed definitions and 

requirements do not contain any 

information collection requirements. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Secretary certifies that this 

proposed regulatory action would not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

The U.S. Small Business Administration 

Size Standards define ‘‘small entities’’ 

as for-profit or nonprofit institutions 

with total annual revenue below 

$7,000,000 or, if they are institutions 

controlled by small governmental 

jurisdictions (that are comprised of 

cities, counties, towns, townships, 

villages, school districts, or special 

districts), with a population of less than 

50,000. 

Although some of the ANOs, LEAs, 

and other entities that receive ANE 

program funds qualify as small entities 

under this definition, the proposed 

definitions and requirements would not 

have a significant economic impact on 

these small entities. The Department 

believes that the costs imposed on an 

applicant by the proposed definitions 

and requirements would be limited to 

the costs related to providing the 

documentation outlined in the proposed 

definitions and requirements when 

preparing an application and that those 

costs would not be significant. 

Participation in the ANE program is 

voluntary. We invite comments from 

small entities as to whether they believe 

the proposed definitions and 

requirements would have a significant 

economic impact on them and, if so, we 

request evidence to support that belief.

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Mojave Desert Air 

Quality Management District 

(MDAQMD or ‘‘District’’) portion of the 

California State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). These revisions concern 

emissions of volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs) from wood products 

coating operations and organic solvent 

degreasing operations. We are proposing 

to approve local rules to regulate these 

emission sources under the Clean Air 

Act (CAA or the Act). We are also 

proposing to approve revisions to a 

definitions rule. Finally, we are 

proposing to convert the partial 

conditional approval of the District’s 

reasonably available control technology 

(RACT) SIPs for the 1997 and 2008 

ozone standards, as it applies to VOC 

emissions from wood products coating 

operations and organic solvent 

degreasing operations, to a full 

approval. We are taking comments on 

this proposal and plan to follow with a 

final action.
