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

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

This program provides a priority for taking of fish and wildlife resources for subsistence uses on Federal public lands and waters in Alaska. The Federal 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 residents with personal knowledge of 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 and Alaska Native corporations to ensure they are advised of the mechanisms by which they can participate.

In accordance with the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App., the Western Interior Alaska Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory Council will meet to review State and Federal wildlife proposals and fisheries resource monitoring plans and to form other recommendations on fish and wildlife issues. This meeting is a follow-up to the Council’s November 6– 8, 2013, meeting, which did not achieve 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 concerning the region.
