        rental property)'' before the comma at the end.
            (3) Conforming amendment.--The table contained in section 
        168(c) of such Code is amended--
                    (A) by striking the row relating to residential

        section 167(a) with respect to nonresidential real property and 
        residential rental property for any taxable year shall be equal 
        to the product of such amount (determined without regard to

        recovery ratio with respect to such property for such taxable 
        year.

                        (as determined by the Bureau of Economic 
                        Analysis) for the calendar quarter during which 
                        such property was placed in service by the 
                        taxpayer, multiplied by

                number of full years in the period beginning on the 1st 
                day of the calendar quarter during which such property 
                was placed in service by the taxpayer and ending on the 
                day before the beginning of the corresponding calendar 
                quarter ending during such taxable year.

                a pass-thru entity which holds such property and shall 
                not be treated as a deduction for depreciation for
