Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 234 / Thursday, December 5, 2013 / Proposed Rules 73143 

of publication of the Treasury decision 

adopting these rules as final regulations 

in the Federal Register. 

■ Par. 6. Section 1.1441–3 is amended 

by: 

■ 1. Adding a second sentence to 

paragraph (h)(1). 

■ 2. Redesignating paragraph (h)(2) as 

(h)(3) and revising paragraph (h)(3). 

■ 3. Adding new paragraph (h)(2). 

The additions and revisions read as 

follows: 

§ 1.1441–3 Determination of amounts to be 

withheld. 

* * * * * 

(h) * * * (1) * * * Withholding is 

required on the amount of the dividend 

equivalent calculated under § 1.871– 

15(i). 

(2) Reliance by withholding agent on 

reasonable determinations. For 

purposes of determining whether a 

payment is a dividend equivalent and 

the amount of a dividend equivalent 

described in § 1.871–15, a withholding 

agent may rely on the information 

received from the party to the 

transaction that is required to determine 

whether a transaction is a section 

871(m) transaction as provided in 

§ 1.871–15(o), unless the withholding 

agent has actual knowledge or reason to 

know that the information received is 

incorrect. When a withholding agent 

fails to withhold the required amount 

because the party described in § 1.871– 

15(o) fails to reasonably determine or 

timely provide whether a transaction is 

a section 871(m) transaction, the 

amount of any dividend equivalent, or 

any other information required to be 

provided pursuant to § 1.871–15(o) and 

the withholding agent reasonably relied 

on that party’s determination, then the 

failure to withhold is imputed to the 

party required to make the 

determinations described in § 1.871– 

15(o). In that case, the IRS may collect 

any underwithheld amount from the 

party to the transaction that is required 

to make the determinations described in 

§ 1.871–15(o) and subject that party to 

applicable interest and penalties as a 

withholding agent. 

(3) Effective/applicability date. Except 

for the first sentence of paragraph (h)(1), 

this paragraph (h) applies to payments 

made on or after the date of publication 

of the Treasury decision adopting these 

rules as final regulations in the Federal 

Register. The first sentence of paragraph 

(h)(1) applies to payments made on or 

after January 23, 2012. 

* * * * * 

■ Par. 7. Section 1.1441–7 is amended 

by: 

■ 1. Adding entry for Example 7 in 

paragraph (a)(3). 

■ 2. Adding a second sentence to 

paragraph (a)(4). 

The additions read as follows: 

§ 1.1441–7 General provisions relating to 

withholding agents. 

(a) * * * 

(3) * * * 

Example 7. CO is a domestic clearing 

organization. CO serves as a central 

counterparty clearing and settlement service 

provider for derivatives exchanges in the U.S. 

CB is a broker organized in Foreign Country 

X and a clearing member of CO. CB is a 

nonqualified intermediary, as defined in 

§ 1.1441–1(c)(14). FC is a foreign corporation 

that has an investment account with CB. FC 

instructs CB to purchase a call option that is 

a specified ELI (as described in § 1.871– 

15(e)). CB effects the trade for FC. The 

exchange matches FC’s order with an order 

for a written call option with the same terms. 

The exchange then sends the matched trade 

to CO, which clears the trade. CB and the 

clearing member representing the call option 

seller settle the trade with CO. Upon 

receiving the matched trade, the option 

contracts are novated and CO becomes the 

counterparty to CB and the counterparty to 

the clearing member representing the call 

option seller. To the extent that there is a 

dividend equivalent with respect to the call 

option, both CO and CB are withholding 

agents as described in paragraph (a)(1) of this 

section. 

(4) Effective/applicability date. 

Example 7 of paragraph (a)(3) of this 

section applies to payments made on or 

after the date of publication of the 

Treasury decision adopting these rules 

as final regulations in the Federal 

Register.

Deputy Commissioner for Services and 

Enforcement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title VIII

Subsistence Board, which includes 

public and private members, 

administers the program supported by 

Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory 

Councils, which represent 10 

subsistence resource regions in Alaska. 

The Councils provide a forum for rural

local conditions and resource 

requirements to have a meaningful role 

in the subsistence management of fish 

and wildlife on Federal public lands in 

Alaska. The Board will engage in 

outreach efforts for this notice to Tribes

ensure they are advised of the 

mechanisms by which they can 

participate.

Alaska Federal Subsistence Regional 

Advisory Council will meet to review 

State and Federal wildlife proposals and 

fisheries resource monitoring plans and

a required quorum, to make 

recommendations on changes to the 

regulations for the subsistence taking of 

wildlife to the Federal Subsistence 

Board and to address subsistence issues
