Proposed regulations under section 7502 of the Code amend regulations section 301.7502–1 to provide that, other than direct proof of actual delivery, a registered or certified mail receipt is the only prima facie evidence of delivery of documents that have a filing deadline prescribed by the internal revenue laws. The regulations are necessary to provide greater certainty on this issue and to provide specific guidance. The regulations affect taxpayers who mail federal tax documents to the Internal Revenue Service or the United States Tax Court.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On February 9, 2004, final and temporary regulations (T.D. 9113, 2004–9 I.R.B. 524) relating to the duplicate filing requirements for Form 5472 were published in the Federal Register (69 FR 5931). The temporary regulation addressed how the duplicate filing requirements for Form 5472 apply when a reporting corporation electronically files its income tax return (including any attachments such as Form 5472). On February 9, 2004, a notice of proposed rulemaking and public hearing (REG–167217–03, 2004–9 I.R.B. 540) was also published in the Federal Register (69 FR 5940) with respect to the provisions of the temporary regulation. No written or electronic comments were received in response to the notice of proposed rulemaking. No requests to speak at the public hearing were received, and, accordingly, the hearing was canceled. Explanation of Provisions
for comment on its impact on small businesses. Drafting Information The principal author of this regulation is Edward R. Barret, Office of the Associate Chief Counsel (International). However, other personnel from the IRS and Treasury Department participated in its development. ***** Adoption of amendments to the Regulations Accordingly, 26 CFR part 1 is amended as follows: PART 1—INCOME TAXES Paragraph 1. The authority citation for part 1 continues to read in part as follows: Authority: 26 U.S.C. 7805 * * * Par. 2. Section 1.6038A–1 is amended by revising paragraph (n)(2) to read as follows: §1.6038A–1 General requirements and definitions. ***** (n) * * * (1) * * * (2) Section 1.6038A–2. Section 1.6038A–2 (relating to the requirement to file Form 5472) generally applies for taxable years beginning after July 10, 1989. However, §1.6038A–2 as it applies to reporting corporations whose sole trade or business in the United States is a banking, financing, or similar business as defined in §1.864–4(c)(5)(i) applies for taxable years beginning after December 10, 1990. The final sentence of §1.6038A–2(d) applies for taxable years ending on or after January 1, 2003. For taxable years ending prior to January 1, 2003, see §1.6038A–2(d) in effect prior to January 1, 2003 (see 26 CFR part 1 revised as of April 1, 2002). ***** Par. 3.

T.D. 9161 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Internal Revenue Service 26 CFR Part 1 Electronic Filing of Duplicate Forms 5472
AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury. ACTION: Final regulation and removal of temporary regulation. SUMMARY: This document contains a final regulation providing that a Form 5472 that is timely filed electronically is treated as satisfying the requirement timely to file a duplicate Form 5472 with the Internal Revenue Service Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This action is necessary to clarify how the duplicate filing requirements for Form 5472 apply when a reporting corporation electronically files its income tax return (including any attachments such as Form 5472). This document affects corporations subject to the reporting requirements in sections 6038A and 6038C that file Form 5472 electronically. DATES: Effective Date: This regulation is effective on September 15, 2004. Applicability Date: For the dates of applicability, see §§1.6038A–1(n) and 1.6038A–2(h).
This Treasury decision adopts the language of the proposed regulation without change. The temporary regulation is removed. Special Analysis It has been determined that this Treasury decision is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to this regulation, and because this regulation does not impose a collection of information on small entities, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not apply. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Code, the notice of proposed rulemaking preceding this regulation was submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration
§1.6038A–2 Requirement of return. ***** (d) Time and place for filing returns. A Form 5472 required under this section shall be filed with the reporting corporation’s income tax return for the taxable year by the due date (including extensions) of that return. A duplicate Form 5472 (including any attachments and schedules) shall be filed at the same time
with the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255. A Form 5472 that is timely filed electronically satisfies the duplicate filing requirement. ***** §1.6038A–2T [Removed] Par. 4. moved. Section 1.6038A–2T is re-

(Filed by the Office of the Federal Register on September 14, 2004, 8:45 a.m., and published in the issue of the Federal Register for September 15, 2004, 69 F.R. 55499)
Classification of Certain Foreign Entities Notice 2004–68
This notice announces that Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (the Service) will amend § 301.7701–2(b)(8) of the Procedure and Administration Regulations to include certain foreign entities on the list of entities always treated as corporations under section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. BACKGROUND The Service and Treasury issued final regulations concerning the classification of entities under section 7701 on December 18, 1996 (final regulations). See generally T.D. 8697, 1997–1 C.B. 215, and §§ 301.7701–1 through 3. Under the final regulations, a business entity that is not specifically classified as a corporation is an eligible entity that can elect its classification for federal tax purposes under certain circumstances. However, § 301.7701–2(b)(8) provides a list of certain foreign business entities that are always classified as corporations for federal tax purposes (the per se corporation list). These foreign business entities are generally referred to as per se corporations. On October 8, 2001, the Council of the European Union adopted Council Regulation 2157/2001 2001 O.J. (L 294) (the EU Regulation) to provide for a new business entity, the European public limited liability company (Societas Europaea or SE). The EU Regulation will enter into force on October 8, 2004, and will have legal effect in all the Member States of the European Economic Area (which includes all Member States of the European Union plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). An SE must have a registered office in one of the Member States. The SE is a public limited liability company. The EU Regulation provides general rules that govern the formation and operation of an SE, and supplements those rules for specified issues and issues it does not otherwise address by reference to the laws with respect to public limited liability companies for the country in which the The Service and Treasury have concluded that an SE is properly classified as a per se corporation because it will function as a public limited liability company. The Service and Treasury will issue temporary and proposed regulations that will modify § 301.7701–2(b)(8) to include the SE on the per se corporation list. Further, the temporary and proposed regulations will modify § 301.7701–2(b)(8) to include as per se corporations the Estonian Aktsiaselts, Latvian Akciju Sabiedriba, Lithuanian Akcine Bendroves, Slovenian Delniska Druzba, and Liechtenstein Aktiengesellschaft. These entities are the public limited liability companies in their respective countries. The status of an SE may be relevant to the application of various federal income tax provisions, such as the subpart F same-country exception under section 954(c)(3). Treasury and the Service are considering these issues and invite comments on any additional areas in which guidance on the federal tax treatment of an SE may be warranted. EFFECTIVE DATE The temporary and proposed regulations to be issued adding the Estonian Aktsiaselts, Latvian Akciju Sabiedriba, Lithuanian Akcine Bendroves, Slovenian Delniska Druzba, and Liechtenstein Aktiengesellschaft to § 301.7701–2(b)(8) generally will apply to such entities formed on or after the date of this notice. However, they shall also apply to an entity formed before such date upon a 50 percent or greater change of ownership subsequent to such date. The temporary and proposed SE has its registered office. Most of the countries in which an SE can have its registered office have a business entity that constitutes a public limited liability company and that currently is on the per se corporation list. However, an SE can have its registered office in the following countries that have a business entity that is a public limited liability company but that is not yet on the per se corporation list: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, and Liechtenstein. DISCUSSION regulations to be issued adding the SE to § 301.7701–2(b)(8) will apply to entities formed on or after October 8, 2004.

Weighted Average Interest Rates Update Notice 2004–69
This notice provides guidance as to the corporate bond weighted average interest rate and the permissible range of interest rates specified under § 412(b)(5)(B)(ii)(II) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, it provides guidance as to the interest rate on 30-year Treasury securities under § 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(II), and the weighted average interest rate and permissible ranges of interest rates based on the 30-year Treasury securities rate. CORPORATE BOND WEIGHTED AVERAGE INTEREST RATE Sections 412(b)(5)(B)(ii) and 412(l)(7) (C)(i), as amended by the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004, provide that the interest rates used to calculate current liability and to determine the required contribution under § 412(l) for plan years beginning in 2004 or 2005 must be within a permissible range based on the weighted average of the rates of interest on amounts invested conservatively in long term investment grade corporate bonds during the 4-year period ending on the last day before the beginning of the plan year. Notice 2004–34, 2004–18 I.R.B. 848, provides guidelines for determining the corporate bond weighted average interest rate and the resulting permissible range of interest rates used to calculate current liability. That notice establishes that the corporate bond weighted average is based on the monthly composite corporate bond rate derived from designated corporate bond indices.
The composite corporate bond rate for September 2004 is 5.63 percent. Pursuant to Notice 2004–34, the Service has determined this rate as the average of the
monthly yields for the included corporate bond indices for that month. The following corporate bond weighted average interest rate was determined for
plan years beginning in the month shown below.
For Plan Years Beginning in: Month October 30-YEAR TREASURY SECURITIES WEIGHTED AVERAGE INTEREST RATE Section 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(II) defines the applicable interest rate, which must be used for purposes of determining the minimum present value of a participant’s benefit under § 417(e)(1) and (2), as the annual rate of interest on 30-year Treasury securities for the month before the date of distribution or such other time as the Secretary may by regulations prescribe. Year 2004
Corporate Bond Weighted Average 6.21
90% to 110% Permissible Range 5.59 to 6.21 imum amount of the deduction allowed under § 404(a)(1). The rate of interest on 30-year Treasury securities for September 2004 is 4.90 percent. Pursuant to Notice 2002–26, 2002–1 C.B. 743, the Service has determined this rate as the monthly average of the daily determination of yield on the 30-year Treasury bond maturing in February 2031. The following 30-year Treasury rates were determined for the plan years beginning in the month shown below.
Section 1.417(e)–1(d)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations provides that the applicable interest rate for a month is the annual interest rate on 30-year Treasury securities as specified by the Commissioner for that month in revenue rulings, notices or other guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin. Section 404(a)(1) of the Code, as amended by the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004, permits an employer to elect to disregard subclause (II) of § 412(b)(5)(B)(ii) to determine the max-

SECTION 1. PURPOSE Pursuant to § 1397E(e)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, this revenue procedure sets forth the maximum face amount of Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (“Bond” or “Bonds”) that may be issued for each State for the calendar year 2004. For this purpose, “State” includes the District of Columbia and the possessions of the United States. SECTION 2. BACKGROUND .01 Section 226 of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, Pub. L. 105–34, 111 Stat. 821 (1997), added § 1397E to the Internal Revenue Code to provide a credit to holders of Bonds under certain circumstances so that
the Bonds generally can be issued without discount or interest. Ninety-five percent of Bond proceeds are to be used for qualified purposes, as defined by § 1397E(d)(5), with respect to a qualified zone academy, as defined by § 1397E(d)(4). .02 Section 1397E(e)(1), as amended by § 304 of the Working Families Tax Relief Act of 2004, Pub. L. 108–311, 118 Stat. 1166 (2004), provides that the national Bond limitation is $400 million for each of the years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. This amount is to be allocated among the States by the Secretary on the basis of their respective populations below the poverty level (as defined by the Office of Management and Budget) and is to be further allocated by each State to qualified zone academies within the State. .03 Section 1397E(e)(4), as amended by § 509 of the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999, Pub. L. 106–170, 113 Stat. 1860 (1999), provides that any carryforward of a
limitation amount may be carried forward only to the first 2 years (3 years for carryforwards from 1998 or 1999) following the unused limitation year. For this purpose, a limitation amount shall be treated as used on a first-in first-out basis. .04 Rev. Proc. 98–9, 1998–1 C.B. 341; Rev. Proc. 98–57, 1998–2 C.B. 682; Rev. STATE

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Timely Mailing Treated As Timely Filing REG–138176–02
AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury. ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. SUMMARY: This document contains proposed regulations amending Treasury Regulation §301.7502–1 to provide that, other than direct proof of actual delivery, a registered or certified mail receipt is the only prima facie evidence of delivery of documents that have a filing deadline prescribed by the internal revenue laws. The proposed regulations are necessary to provide greater certainty on this issue and to provide specific guidance. The proposed regulations affect taxpayers who mail Federal tax documents to the Internal Revenue Service or the United States Tax Court. DATES: Written or electronic comments and requests for a public hearing must be received by December 20, 2004. ADDRESSES: Send submissions to: CC:PA:LPD:PR (REG–138176–02), room 5203, Internal Revenue Service, POB 7604, Ben Franklin Station, Washington, DC 20044. Submissions may be hand-delivered between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. to CC:PA:LPD:PR (REG–138176–02), Courier’s Desk, Internal Revenue Service, 1111 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC, or sent electronically, via the IRS Internet site at: www.irs.gov/regs or via the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov/ (IRS — REG–138176–02). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Concerning the regulations, Charles A. Hall, (202) 622–4940; concerning submissions, Sonya Cruse, (202) 622–7180 (not toll-free numbers). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Paperwork Reduction Act The collection of information contained in this notice of proposed rulemaking has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)). Comments on the collection of information should be sent to the Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for the Department of the Treasury, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Washington, DC 20503, with copies to the Internal Revenue Service, Attn: IRS Reports Clearance Officer, SE:CAR:MP:T:T:SP, Washington, DC 20224. Comments on the collection of information should be received by November 22, 2004. Comments are specifically requested concerning: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Internal Revenue Service, including whether the information will have practical utility; The accuracy of the estimated burden associated with the proposed collection of information (see below); How the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected may be enhanced; How the burden of complying with the proposed collection of information may be minimized, including through the application of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of service to provide information. The collection of information in this proposed regulation is in §301.7502–1(e). This collection of information is voluntary. The likely recordkeepers are taxpayers who want to have evidence to establish the postmark date and prima facie evidence of delivery when using registered or certified mail. Estimated total annual recordkeeping burden: 1,084,765 hours. Estimated average annual burden hours per recordkeeper: 6 minutes (.10 hours). Estimated number of recordkeepers: 10,847,647. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid control number assigned by the Office of Management and Budget. Books or records relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as their contents may become material in the administration of any internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103. Background This document contains proposed regulations amending 26 CFR part 301 under section 7502 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 7502(a) first appeared as part of the recodification of the Code in 1954. Section 7502(a) is commonly known as the timely mailing/timely filing rule. Section 301.7502–1 of the Procedure and Administration Regulations provides rules for taxpayers to follow to qualify for favorable treatment under section 7502. There is a conflict among the Circuits of the United States Court of Appeals as to whether the provisions in section 7502 provide the exclusive means to establish prima facie evidence of delivery of a document to the IRS or the United States Tax Court. In particular, courts have reached differing conclusions regarding whether a taxpayer may raise a presumption of delivery of Federal tax documents to the IRS and the United States Tax Court only in situations in which the taxpayer uses registered or certified mail. These proposed regulations clarify the existing regulations and provide guidance on the need to use registered or certified mail to file documents with the IRS and the United States Tax Court to enjoy a presumption of delivery. Explanation of Provisions These proposed regulations amend §301.7502–1(e)(1) to clarify that, other than direct proof of actual delivery, the exclusive means to establish prima facie evidence of delivery of Federal tax documents to the IRS and the United States Tax
Court is to prove the use of registered or certified mail. The IRS currently accepts only a registered or certified mail receipt to establish a presumption of delivery if the IRS has no record of ever having received the document in question. This policy not only is consistent with section 7502(c) but also provides taxpayers with certainty that, under the Code, a certified or registered mail receipt will establish prima facie evidence of delivery. Accordingly, the proposed regulations merely clarify and confirm current IRS practice under the existing regulations. These proposed regulations provide that the final regulations, to which these proposed regulations relate, will be effective for all documents mailed after the publication date of these proposed regulations. Under section 7502(f)(3), the IRS may extend to a service provided by a private delivery service (PDS) a rule similar to the prima facie evidence of delivery rule applicable to registered and certified mail. To date the IRS has not received any comments or suggestions for extending this rule even though the IRS and the Treasury Department previously requested comments in a prior notice of proposed rulemaking under section 7502. See 64 FR 2606 (Jan. 15, 1999). As the IRS is clarifying what documentation it will accept as proof of delivery, it is appropriate to solicit comments on this issue again. Accordingly, the IRS and the Treasury Department encourage the public to make comments regarding whether the IRS and the Treasury Department should extend the prima facie evidence of delivery rule to a service provided by a PDS. These comments should address the reasons why the IRS should treat a service provided by a PDS as substantially equivalent to registered or certified mail, including a comparison of the benefits to taxpayers and the IRS of the PDS service with the benefits of registered and certified mail. Special Analyses It has been determined that this notice of proposed rulemaking is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It has also been determined that section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to the regulations.
It is hereby certified that the collection of information contained in this regulation will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Accordingly, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required. Although the collection of information in this notice of proposed rulemaking affects a substantial number of small entities, the economic impact on these small entities is not substantial. If a small entity uses registered or certified mail to file a document with the IRS, the additional burden (filling out the appropriate United States Postal Service forms) over and above using regular mail is not substantial. Furthermore, the extra cost to use registered or certified mail is not substantial as certified mail costs only $2.30 and registered mail can be used for as little as $7.50. Finally, the added burden of retaining the certified or registered mail sender’s receipt will be minimal as the receipt can be associated with the small entity’s copy of the document that it filed with the IRS. Pursuant to section 7805(f), this notice of proposed rulemaking will be submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on its impact on small businesses. Comments and Requests for Public Hearing Before these proposed regulations are adopted as final regulations, consideration will be given to any written (a signed original and 8 copies) or electronic comments that are submitted timely to the IRS. The IRS and the Treasury Department request comments on the clarity of the proposed rules and how they can be made easier to understand. All comments will be available for public inspection and copying. A public hearing may be scheduled if requested in writing by any person that timely submits written comments. If a public hearing is scheduled, notice of the date, time, and place for the public hearing will be published in the Federal Register. Drafting Information The principal author of the regulations is Charles A. Hall of the Office of the Associate Chief Counsel, Procedure and Administration (Administrative Provisions and Judicial Practice Division).
