Proposed Amendments to the 

Regulations 

Accordingly, 26 CFR part 1 is 

proposed to be amended as follows: 

PART 1—INCOME TAXES 

■ Paragraph 1. The authority citation 

for part 1 is amended by adding entries 

in numerical order to read in part as 

follows: 

Authority: 26 U.S.C. 7805 * * * 

Section 1.382–12 also issued under 26 

U.S.C. 382(f) and 26 U.S.C. 382(m). 

* * * 

Section 1.1288–1 also issued under 26 

U.S.C. 1288(b). * * * 

■ Par. 2. Section 1.382–1 is amended by 

revising the introductory text and 

adding an entry for § 1.382–12 to read 

as follows: 

§ 1.382–1 Table of contents. 

This section lists the captions that 

appear in the regulations for §§ 1.382– 

2 through 1.382–12. 

* * * * * 

§ 1.382–12 Determination of adjusted 

Federal long-term rate. 

(a) In general. 

(b) Adjusted Federal long-term rate. 

(c) Adjustment factor. 

(d) Effective/applicability date. 

■ Par. 3. Section 1.382–12 is added to 

read as follows: 

§ 1.382–12 Determination of adjusted 

Federal long-term rate. 

(a) In general. The long-term taxexempt rate for an ownership change is 

the highest of the adjusted Federal longterm rates in effect for any month in the 

3-calendar-month period ending with 

the calendar month in which the change 

date occurs. For purposes of the 

previous sentence, the adjusted Federal 

long-term rate is the Federal long-term 

rate determined under section 1274(d) 

(without regard to paragraphs (2) and (3) 

thereof), adjusted for differences 

between rates on long-term taxable and 

tax-exempt obligations. The Secretary 

calculates the adjusted Federal longterm rate as provided in paragraph (b) 

of this section. The Internal Revenue 

Service publishes the long-term taxexempt rate and the adjusted Federal 

long-term rate for each month in the 

Internal Revenue Bulletin (see 

§ 601.601(d)(2)(ii) of this chapter). 

(b) Adjusted Federal long-term rate. 

The adjusted Federal long-term rate for 

a calendar month is the product of the 

Federal long-term rate determined 

under section 1274(d) for that month, 

based on annual compounding, 

multiplied by the adjustment factor 

described in paragraph (c) of this 

section. 

(c) Adjustment factor. The adjustment 

factor is a percentage equal to— 

(1) The excess of 100 percent, over 

(2) The product of— 

(i) 59 percent, and 

(ii) The sum of the maximum rate in 

effect under section 1 applicable to 

individuals and the maximum rate in 

effect under section 1411 applicable to 

individuals for the month to which the 

adjusted applicable Federal rate applies. 

(d) Effective/applicability date. The 

rules of this section apply to the 

determination of the long-term taxexempt rate and the adjusted Federal 

long-term rate during calendar months 

beginning after the date of publication 

of the Treasury decision adopting these 

rules as final regulations in the Federal 

Register. 

■ Par. 4. Section 1.1288–1 is added to 

read as follows: 

§ 1.1288–1 Adjustment of applicable 

Federal rate for tax-exempt obligations. 

(a) In general. In applying section 483 

or section 1274 to a tax-exempt 

obligation, the applicable Federal rate is 

adjusted to take into account the tax 

exemption for interest on the obligation. 

For each applicable Federal rate 

determined under section 1274(d), the 

Secretary computes a corresponding 

adjusted applicable Federal rate by 

multiplying the applicable Federal rate 

by the adjustment factor described in 

paragraph (b) of this section. The 

Internal Revenue Service publishes the 

applicable Federal rates and the 

adjusted applicable Federal rates for 

each month in the Internal Revenue 

Bulletin (see § 601.601(d)(2)(ii) of this 

chapter). 

(b) Adjustment factor. The adjustment 

factor is a percentage equal to— 

(1) The excess of 100 percent, over 

(2) The product of— 

(i) 59 percent, and 

(ii) The sum of the maximum rate in 

effect under section 1 applicable to 

individuals and the maximum rate in 

effect under section 1411 applicable to 

individuals for the month to which the 

adjusted applicable Federal rate applies. 

(c) Effective/applicability date. The 

rules of this section apply to the 

determination of adjusted applicable 

Federal rates during calendar months 

beginning after the date of publication 

of the Treasury decision adopting these 

rules as final regulations in the Federal 

Register.

B. Basis and Purpose 

The legal basis for this rule is the 

Coast Guard’s authority to establish 

regulated navigation areas and other 

limited access areas: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 

U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 

U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 

160.5; Public Law 107–295; 116 Stat. 

2064; Department of Homeland Security 

Delegation No. 0170.1. 

The purpose of the rule is to ensure 

safety of life on the navigable water of 

the United States during the Xterra 

Swim. 

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The Coast Guard is establishing a 

temporary safety zone on the waters of 

Intracoastal Waterway in Myrtle Beach, 

South Carolina during the Xterra Swim. 

The race is scheduled to take place, May 

3, 2015 from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The 

Xterra Swim race consists of a 1000 

meter swim with approximately 150 

swimmers. The race will begin a 1000 

meters north of Battery Boat Ramp and 

end at the boat ramp. Persons and 

vessels desiring to enter, transit through, 

anchor in, or remain within the 

regulated area may contact the Captain 

of the Port Charleston by telephone at 

(843) 740–7050, or a designated 

representative via VHF radio on channel 

16, to request authorization. If 

authorization to enter, transit through, 

anchor in, or remain within the 

regulated area is granted by the Captain 

of the Port Charleston or a designated 

representative, all persons and vessels 

receiving such authorization must 

comply with the instructions of the 

Captain of the Port Charleston or a 

designated representative. The Coast 

Guard will provide notice of the 

temporary safety zone by Local Notice 

to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners, and on-scene designated 

representatives. 

D. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this proposed rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on a number of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

1. Regulatory Planning and Review 

This proposed rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, as supplemented 

by Executive Order 13563, Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review, and 

does not require an assessment of 

potential costs and benefits under 

section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 

or under section 1 of Executive Order 

13563. The Office of Management and 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 40 / Monday, March 2, 2015 / Proposed Rules 11147 

Budget has not reviewed it under those 

Orders. 

The economic impact of this proposed 

rule is not significant for the following 

reasons: (1) Non-participant persons and 

vessels may enter, transit through, 

anchor in, or remain within the 

regulated area during the enforcement 

periods if authorized by the Captain of 

the Port Charleston or a designated 

representative; (2) vessels not able to 

enter, transit through, anchor in, or 

remain within the regulated area 

without authorization from the Captain 

of the Port Charleston or a designated 

representative may operate in the 

surrounding areas during the 

enforcement period; and (3) the Coast 

Guard will provide advance notification 

of the temporary safety zone to the local 

maritime community by Local Notice to 

Mariners and Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners. 

2. Impact on Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered 

the impact of this proposed rule on 

small entities. The Coast Guard certifies 

under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed 

rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. This rule may 

affect the following entities, some of 

which may be small entities: the owner 

or operators of vessels intending to 

enter, transit through, anchor in, or 

remain within the regulated area during 

the enforcement period. For the reasons 

discussed in Regulatory Planning and 

Review section above, this rule will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

If you think that your business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity 

and that this rule would have a 

significant economic impact on it, 

please submit a comment (see 

ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it 

qualifies and how and to what degree 

this rule would economically affect it. 

3. Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), 

we want to assist small entities in 

understanding this proposed rule. If the 

rule would affect your small business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for 

compliance, please contact the person 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will 

not retaliate against small entities that 

question or complain about this 

proposed rule or any policy or action of 

the Coast Guard. 

4. Collection of Information 

This proposed rule will not call for a 

new collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520.). 

5. Federalism 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on the States, on the relationship 

between the national government and 

the States, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government. We have 

analyzed this proposed rule under that 

Order and determined that this rule 

does not have implications for 

federalism. 

6. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to contact the 

person listed in the ‘‘For Further 

Information Contact’’ section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places or vessels. 

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their discretionary regulatory actions. In 

particular, the Act addresses actions 

that may result in the expenditure by a 

State, local, or tribal government, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this 

proposed rule would not result in such 

an expenditure, we do discuss the 

effects of this rule elsewhere in this 

preamble. 

8. Taking of Private Property 

This proposed rule would not cause a 

taking of private property or otherwise 

have taking implications under 

Executive Order 12630, Governmental 

Actions and Interference with 

Constitutionally Protected Property 

Rights. 

9. Civil Justice Reform 

This proposed rule meets applicable 

standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform, to minimize litigation, 

eliminate ambiguity, and reduce 

burden. 

10. Protection of Children From 

Environmental Health Risks 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Executive Order 13045, 

Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks. This rule is not an economically 

significant rule and would not create an 

environmental risk to health or risk to 

safety that might disproportionately 

affect children. 

11. Indian Tribal Governments 

This proposed rule does not have 

tribal implications under Executive 

Order 13175, Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal 

Governments, because it would not have 

a substantial direct effect on one or 

more Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes. 

12. Energy Effects 

This proposed rule is not a 

‘‘significant energy action’’ under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use . . . 

13. Technical Standards 

This proposed rule does not use 

technical standards. Therefore, we did 

not consider the use of voluntary 

consensus standards. 

14. Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guide the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have concluded this action is one of a 

category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule involves a 

temporary safety zone issued in 

conjunction with a regatta or marine 

parade. This rule is categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the 

Commandant Instruction. We seek any 

comments or information that may lead 

to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this rule.
