## Background

                    On September 10, 2003, the Treasury Department and the IRS published in the                     **Federal Register**                     (68 FR 53448, REG-146893-02 and REG-115037-00) proposed regulations relating to the treatment of controlled services transactions and the allocation of income from intangible property, in particular with respect to contributions by a controlled party to the value of intangible property owned by another controlled party. On August 4, 2006, the Treasury Department and the IRS published in the                     **Federal Register**                     (71 FR 44466, TD 9278, REG-146893-02, REG-115037-00, and REG-138603-03) temporary regulations relating to the treatment of controlled services transactions, the allocation of income from intangible property, and stewardship expenses under Treas. Reg. § 1.861-8(e)(4). A notice of proposed rulemaking cross-referencing the temporary regulations was published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on the same day (71 FR 44247). Written comments responding to the notice of proposed rulemaking were received, and a public hearing was held on October 27, 2006. That notice of proposed rulemaking superseded the proposed regulations published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on September 10, 2003.                

                    On August 4, 2009, the Treasury Department and the IRS published in the                     **Federal Register**                     (74 FR 38830, TD 9456) final regulations that are generally consistent with the proposed regulations that were published on August 4, 2006, in the                     **Federal Register**                     (71 FR 44247), and removed the corresponding temporary regulations.
