## Background and Explanation of Provisions

                    On January 23, 2007, the IRS and Treasury Department published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the                     **Federal Register**                     (72 FR 2964) under § 1.1502-36 (Unified Loss Rule). The proposed regulations provided rules under § 1.1502-13(e)(4) that would suspend the application of section 362(e)(2) in the case of intercompany transactions. The proposed regulations also provided rules under § 1.1502-32(c)(1)(ii) relating to the treatment of items attributable to property transferred in an intercompany section 362(e)(2) transaction.                

After consideration of the comments received responding to the notice of proposed rulemaking, the IRS and Treasury Department have concluded that the proposed rules would not be promulgated and, instead, that final regulations would make section 362(e)(2) generally inapplicable to intercompany transactions. Accordingly, §§ 1.1502-13(e)(4) and 1.1502-32(c)(1)(ii) of the proposed regulations are hereby withdrawn.

## Partial Withdrawal of Proposed Regulations

                    Accordingly, under the authority of 26 U.S.C. 7805, proposed §§ 1.1502-13(e)(4) and 1.1502-32(c)(1)(ii) published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on January 23, 2007 are withdrawn.

Deputy Commissioner for Services and Enforcement.
