retary to exempt from that provision transactions 
that would be clearly within the scope of the provi-
sion. 
(2) Such an exemption is particularly trouble-
some when it is restricted to particular industries or 
classes of taxpayers. 
(3) Treasury Notice 2008–83 is inconsistent 
with the congressional intent behind delegations of 
regulatory authority of the type described in para-
graph (1). 
(4) The legal authority to prescribe Treasury 
Notice 2008–83 is doubtful. 
(5) However, as taxpayers should generally be 
able to rely on guidance issued by the Secretary of 
the Treasury or his delegate, legislation is necessary 
to clarify the force and effect of Treasury Notice 
2008–83 and restore the proper application under 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 of the limitation 
on built-in losses following an ownership change of 
a bank.
