SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A notice of proposed rulemaking and notice 
of public hearing appearing in the Federal Register on Thursday, 
January 29, 1998 (63 FR 4408), announced that a public hearing with 
respect to proposed regulations relating to adjustments to a partner's 
basis in its partnership interest and a partnership's basis in its 
assets would be held on Wednesday, July 8, 1998, beginning at 10 a.m. 
in the IRS Auditorium, Internal Revenue Building, 1111 Constitution 
Avenue, NW., Washington DC, and that requests to speak and outlines of 
oral comments should be received by Wednesday, June 24, 1998.
    Subsequent to this announcement, the Service received a request 
that the hearing be videoconferenced. The Service recognizes that other 
persons outside the Washington, DC area may also wish to testify 
through videoconferencing. Those persons should now request to do so.
    Requests to include other videoconferencing sites must be received 
by Friday, May 29, 1998. If the Service receives sufficient indications 
of interest to warrant videoconferencing to a particular city and if 
the Service has videoconferencing facilities in that city, the Service 
will accommodate the requests.
    Accordingly, the public hearing originally scheduled for July 8, 
1998, is postponed. The Service will issue a document in the Federal 
Register announcing the new date, time, and any videoconference sites 
of the public hearing.

Chief, Regulations Unit, Assistant Chief Counsel (Corporate).
