Introduction
The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instrument
of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for announcing official rulings and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service
and for publishing Treasury Decisions, Executive Orders, Tax
Conventions, legislation, court decisions, and other items of
general interest. It is published weekly.
It is the policy of the Service to publish in the Bulletin all substantive rulings necessary to promote a uniform application
of the tax laws, including all rulings that supersede, revoke,
modify, or amend any of those previously published in the
Bulletin. All published rulings apply retroactively unless otherwise indicated. Procedures relating solely to matters of internal management are not published; however, statements of
internal practices and procedures that affect the rights and
duties of taxpayers are published.
Revenue rulings represent the conclusions of the Service
on the application of the law to the pivotal facts stated in
the revenue ruling. In those based on positions taken in rulings to taxpayers or technical advice to Service field offices,
identifying details and information of a confidential nature are
deleted to prevent unwarranted invasions of privacy and to
comply with statutory requirements.
Rulings and procedures reported in the Bulletin do not have the
force and effect of Treasury Department Regulations, but they
may be used as precedents. Unpublished rulings will not be
relied on, used, or cited as precedents by Service personnel in
the disposition of other cases. In applying published rulings and
procedures, the effect of subsequent legislation, regulations,
court decisions, rulings, and procedures must be considered,
and Service personnel and others concerned are cautioned
against reaching the same conclusions in other cases unless
the facts and circumstances are substantially the same.
The Bulletin is divided into four parts as follows:
Part I.—1986 Code.
This part includes rulings and decisions based on provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Part II.—Treaties and Tax Legislation.
This part is divided into two subparts as follows: Subpart A,
Tax Conventions and Other Related Items, and Subpart B,
Legislation and Related Committee Reports.
Part III.—Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous.
To the extent practicable, pertinent cross references to these
subjects are contained in the other Parts and Subparts. Also
included in this part are Bank Secrecy Act Administrative
Rulings. Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings are issued
by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Assistant
Secretary (Enforcement).
Part IV.—Items of General Interest.
This part includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbarment and suspension lists, and announcements.
The last Bulletin for each month includes a cumulative index
for the matters published during the preceding months. These
monthly indexes are cumulated on a semiannual basis, and are
published in the last Bulletin of each semiannual period.

Alternative Method for
Carrying Broker-Dealers
to Comply with Certain
Nonbank Trustee Rules
Notice 2026-32
I. PURPOSE
This notice provides that, pursuant
to § 1.408-2(e)(6)(ii) of the Income Tax
Regulations, a broker-dealer that carries
customer accounts and receives or holds
funds or securities for those customers
(a carrying broker-dealer) may, in lieu of
demonstrating satisfaction of the adequacy
of net worth requirement for nonbank
trustees under § 1.408-2(e)(5)(ii), demonstrate satisfaction of Rule 15c3-1 (SEC
Net Capital Rule) and Rule 15c3-3 (SEC
Customer Protection Rule) (together, SEC
Net Capital and Customer Protection
Rules) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (Exchange Act).1 This
notice also describes procedures regarding
demonstration by a carrying broker-dealer
of satisfaction of the SEC Net Capital and
Customer Protection Rules and requests
public comments on related topics.2
II. BACKGROUND
A. Background on IRS Nonbank Trustee
Rules
Section 408(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code provides that an individual retirement
account (IRA) is a trust created or organized
in the United States for the exclusive benefit of an individual or the individual’s beneficiaries, but only if the written governing
instrument creating the trust meets certain
requirements. One such requirement, under
section 408(a)(2), is that the trustee of an
IRA must be a bank (as defined in section
408(n)) or “such other person who demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Secretary
that the manner in which such other person
will administer the trust will be consistent
with the requirements of this section.”3
In order for an entity that is not a bank to
qualify as an IRA trustee (i.e., a nonbank
trustee), § 1.408-2(e) imposes several
requirements, including fiduciary conduct
requirements.4
Section 1.408-2(e)(2) requires that
an applicant for nonbank trustee status
demonstrate its ability to act within the
accepted rules of fiduciary conduct by
including in its demonstration certain elements of proof. Under § 1.408-2(e)(2)(iv),
one of these required elements of proof is
to assure compliance with the fiduciary
conduct provisions set out in § 1.408-2(e)
(5). Under § 1.408-2(e)(5), the applicant
must demonstrate that, under applicable
regulatory requirements, corporate or
other governing instruments, or its established operating procedures, it satisfies
certain rules of fiduciary conduct, including the adequacy of net worth requirement
under § 1.408-2(e)(5)(ii).5 To comply with
this requirement, a nonbank trustee’s net
worth generally must exceed the greater
of (i) a specified dollar amount or (ii) a
percentage of the value of all assets held
in fiduciary accounts. However, that percentage test is modified under § 1.4082(e)(5)(ii)(D) in the case of a nonbank
trustee that is a member of the Securities
Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).
A key objective of this adequacy of net
worth requirement is to ensure that nonbank trustees maintain a level of solvency
commensurate with their financial and
fiduciary responsibilities.6
Section 1.408-2(e) provides flexibility
for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to
apply the nonbank trustee requirements
under certain circumstances involving
overlapping regulatory requirements. Specifically, § 1.408-2(e)(6)(ii) provides that
“[e]vidence that an applicant is subject to
Federal or State regulation with respect to
one or more relevant factors shall be given
weight in proportion to the extent that
such regulatory standards are consonant
with the requirements of section [408]”7
and such evidence may be submitted “in
addition to, or in lieu of,” the specific
proofs required by § 1.408-2(e).
B. Background on Exchange Act Rules
15c3-1 and 15c3-38
Carrying broker-dealers are subject
to prescriptive regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
including rules that aim to ensure carrying broker-dealers maintain a level
of solvency commensurate with their
financial responsibilities. The SEC Customer Protection Rule, as codified by the
SEC in 17 CFR 240.15c3-3, is designed
to give specific protection to customer
funds and securities (for example, IRA
assets), in effect forbidding carrying broker-dealers from using customer assets to
finance any part of their business unrelated to servicing securities customers.
To meet this objective, the SEC Customer Protection Rule requires a carrying
broker-dealer to take two primary steps
to safeguard customer assets, which are
designed to protect customers by segregating their securities and cash from
the carrying broker-dealer’s proprietary
business activities.
The first step to safeguard customer
assets under the SEC Customer Protec-
Pub. L. 73-291, 48 Stat. 881.
The guidance in this notice does not apply to a broker-dealer that operates pursuant to an exemption report under SEC Rule 17a-5(d) (17 CFR § 240.17a-5).

Nonbank trustees can be approved by the IRS to hold certain other types of fiduciary accounts, such as certain custodial accounts, Trump accounts, and health savings accounts. See section
3.07 of Rev. Proc. 2026-4, 2026-1 IRB 160 (updated annually).
4
The nonbank trustee rules also apply with respect to IRAs that are custodial accounts. See section 408(h) and § 1.408-2(d).
5
Under § 1.408-2(e)(5)(viii)(F), the term “net worth” is defined as “the amount of the applicant’s assets less the amount of its liabilities, as determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.”
6
See T.D. 8635, 60 Fed. Reg. 65547, 65548 (Dec. 20, 1995).
7
The final regulation points to section 401 (i.e., rules for qualification of employer-sponsored retirement plans); however, the reference is an artifact of the regulation’s original publication as
part of the regulations under section 401 and, thus, should be read as referring to section 408, which contains the IRA requirements.
8
Personnel from the Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the IRS consulted with SEC staff in developing the description of the SEC Net Capital and Customer Protection
Rules discussed in this section, and that description was reviewed by SEC staff.

Bulletin No. 2026–25
tion Rule requires carrying broker-dealers to maintain physical possession or
control over customers’ fully paid and
excess
margin securities.9 The second
step requires that a carrying broker-dealer
maintain a reserve of cash or qualified
securities in an account at a third-party
bank that is at least equal in value to the
net cash owed to customers, including
cash obtained from the use of customer
securities, determined by a computation
of the broker-dealer’s customer credit
items (for example, cash in customer
securities accounts and cash obtained
through the use of customer margin securities) subtracted by the broker-dealer’s
customer debit items (for example, margin
loans). If credit items exceed debit items,
the net amount must be on deposit in the
customer reserve bank account in the form
of cash and/or qualified securities. Subject to certain exceptions, the SEC Customer Protection Rule requires a carrying
broker-dealer to make this calculation of
the required deposit amount on a weekly
basis.
The SEC Customer Protection Rule
operates in tandem with the SEC Net Capital Rule, as codified in 17 CFR 240.15c31. The SEC Net Capital Rule is designed
to prevent a broker-dealer’s insolvency
by preventing excessive credit or market risk positions. Among other requirements, a broker-dealer must maintain a
minimum level of net capital under the
rules of 17 CFR 240.15c3-1 at all times,
and not be “insolvent” as defined in that
rule.10 The SEC has explained that “[t]he
objective of Rule 15c3-1 is to require a
broker-dealer to maintain sufficient liquid assets to meet all liabilities, including
obligations to customers, counterparties,
and other creditors and to have adequate
additional resources to wind-down its
business in an orderly manner without
the need for a formal proceeding if the
firm fails financially.”11
Pursuant to the Securities Investor
Protection Act of 1970 (SIPA),12 carrying
broker-dealers are required to be members of SIPC, which generally protects
each customer of a failed SIPC-member
broker-dealer up to $500,000, including
up to $250,000 for cash claims. The SEC
Customer Protection Rule supports SIPA’s
customer-protection objective by requiring carrying broker-dealers to segregate
customers’ securities and cash from the
broker-dealer’s proprietary business activities. Through this requirement, the SEC
Customer Protection Rule is designed to
ensure that, if the carrying broker-dealer
fails financially, the customer securities
and cash should be readily available to be
returned to customers, which facilitates
an orderly self-liquidation. However, if
the failed carrying broker-dealer is liquidated under SIPA, the customer securities
and cash should be isolated and readily
identifiable as “customer property” and,
consequently, available to be distributed
to customers ahead of other creditors.13 In
addition, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), acting as the designated examining authority for carrying
broker-dealers, examines carrying broker-dealers’ compliance with the SEC’s
financial responsibility rules, including
the SEC Net Capital and Customer Protection Rules.
III. GUIDANCE
Stakeholders have asked the Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the IRS whether, for purposes
of compliance with the nonbank trustee
fiduciary conduct requirements under
§ 1.408-2(e)(5), the regulatory standards
imposed on carrying broker-dealers by the
SEC Net Capital and Customer Protection
Rules are consonant with the adequacy of
net worth requirement under § 1.408-2(e)
(5)(ii), so that, under § 1.408-2(e)(6)(ii),
evidence of satisfaction of the SEC Net
Capital and Customer Protection Rules
by a carrying broker-dealer could be submitted to the IRS in lieu of evidence of
satisfaction of the adequacy of net worth
requirement.
A. Carrying Broker-Dealers May
Demonstrate Satisfaction of the SEC Net
Capital and Customer Protection Rules
in Lieu of the Adequacy of Net Worth
Requirement
The SEC Net Capital and Customer Protection Rules address the same core financial responsibility concerns reflected in the
adequacy of net worth requirement under
§ 1.408-2(e)(5)(ii), including the solvency
of an entity holding customer accounts
and the protection of customer accounts.
In addition, carrying broker-dealers subject to the SEC Net Capital and Customer
Protection Rules are subject to substantial
oversight, including by FINRA. Accordingly, for carrying broker-dealers, the
SEC Net Capital and Customer Protection
Rules are consonant with the adequacy
of net worth requirement under § 1.4082(e)(5)(ii). Thus, pursuant to § 1.4082(e)(6)(ii), a carrying broker-dealer may
demonstrate satisfaction of the SEC Net
Capital and Customer Protection Rules
in lieu of demonstrating satisfaction of
the adequacy of net worth requirement
for nonbank trustees under § 1.408-2(e)
(5)(ii). This alternative demonstration
is not available to a broker-dealer that
operates pursuant to an exemption report
under SEC Rule 17a-5(d). Comments are
requested on circumstances under which a
carrying broker-dealer that has indicated it
9
“Control” means the carrying broker-dealer holds these securities in one of several locations specified in SEC Exchange Act Rule 15c3-3 and free of liens or any other interest that could be
exercised by a third-party to secure an obligation of the carrying broker-dealer. See 17 CFR 240.15c3-3(c). Permissible locations include a clearing corporation and a “bank,” as defined in
section 3(a)(6) of the Exchange Act. A carrying broker-dealer does not treat customer securities as its own assets. Rather, the carrying broker-dealer holds them in a custodial capacity, and the
possession and control requirement is designed to ensure that the carrying broker-dealer treats them in a manner that allows for their prompt return.
10
For this purpose, “net capital” is defined in SEC Exchange Act Rule 15c3-1(c)(2) as “the net worth of a broker or dealer, adjusted by” deductions for certain illiquid assets along with certain
percentages from its proprietary securities or commodities inventory (for example, a 100% haircut for “non-marketable” securities and a 20% haircut for commodities), and additions back of
certain liabilities to arrive at net capital. One such “add-back” adjustment is for “liabilities of the broker or dealer which are subordinated to the claims of creditors pursuant to a satisfactory
subordination agreement.”

Pub. L. 91-598, 84 Stat. 1636, codified at 15 U.S.C. § 78aaa et seq.
13
Of the approximately 770,400 claims satisfied in completed liquidations of broker-dealers under SIPA, as of December 31, 2025, a total of 355 were for cash and securities whose value was
greater than the limits of protection afforded by SIPA. The 355 claims represent less than one percent of all claims satisfied. The unsatisfied portion of claims, $49.7 million, represents less
than one percent of the total value of securities and cash distributed for accounts of customers in the 329 completed cases. See 2025 SIPC Annual Report.

is satisfying the SEC Net Capital and Customer Protection Rules would be treated
as no longer satisfying those rules and,
therefore, would no longer be eligible to
demonstrate satisfaction of the SEC Net
Capital and Customer Protection Rules in
lieu of the adequacy of net worth requirement.
B. Procedures for Existing Nonbank
Trustees That Are Carrying BrokerDealers
A carrying broker-dealer that has
received a nonbank trustee notice of
approval from the IRS based on satisfaction of the adequacy of net worth requirement of § 1.408-2(e)(5)(ii) and would like
to demonstrate satisfaction of the SEC Net
Capital and Customer Protection Rules in
lieu of the adequacy of net worth requirement must notify the IRS in accordance
with § 1.408-2(e)(6)(iv).
C. Procedures for Nonbank Trustee
Applicants That Are Carrying BrokerDealers
The procedures for applying to the
IRS to become a nonbank trustee are
described in Rev. Proc. 2026-4 (updated
annually). The Treasury Department and
the IRS anticipate updating the procedures for nonbank trustee applicants that
are carrying broker-dealers that want to
demonstrate satisfaction of the SEC Net
Capital and Customer Protection Rules
in lieu of the adequacy of net worth
requirement. Until the procedures are
updated, applicants may demonstrate
satisfaction of the SEC Net Capital and
Customer Protection Rules by applying
a reasonable, good faith interpretation of
this notice and Rev. Proc. 2026-4. Comments are requested on how these procedures should be updated, including what
documentation a carrying broker-dealer
should be required to submit with its
application to demonstrate satisfaction of
the SEC Net Capital and Customer Protection Rules, such as the carrying broker-dealer’s most recent: (1) Financial
and Operational Combined Uniform Single Report (“FOCUS Report”), Part II;
and (2) audited annual report including
a facing page (Form X-17A-5 Part III),
June 15, 2026
statement of financial condition, statement of income, net capital computation,
statement of cash flows, statement of
changes in stockholders’ or sole proprietor’s equity, statement of changes in liabilities subordinated to claims of general
creditors, and compliance report.

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
valid OMB control number.
This notice does not impose any new
reporting, recordkeeping, or third-party
disclosure requirements. Section III of
1580
this notice describes procedures for existing nonbank trustees that are carrying
broker-dealers, as well as procedures for
nonbank trustee applicants that are carrying broker-dealers under existing regulations (§ 1.408-2(e)(6)(iv)) and Rev. Proc.

2026 Marginal Production
Rates
Notice 2026-35
This notice announces the applicable
percentage under § 613A of the Internal
Revenue Code to be used in determining
percentage depletion for marginal properties for the 2026 calendar year.
Section 613A(c)(6)(C) defines the term
“applicable percentage” for purposes of
determining percentage depletion for oil
and gas produced from marginal properties. The applicable percentage is the
percentage (not greater than 25 percent)
equal to the sum of 15 percent, plus one
percentage point for each whole dollar
by which $20 exceeds the reference price
(determined under § 45K(d)(2)(C)) for
crude oil for the calendar year preceding
the calendar year in which the taxable year
begins. The reference price determined
under § 45K(d)(2)(C) for the 2025 calendar year is $63.40. Accordingly, 15% is
the applicable percentage under § 613A to
be used in determining percentage depletion for marginal properties for the 2026
calendar year.
The following table contains the applicable percentages for marginal production
for taxable years beginning in calendar
years 1991 through 2026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority
This document contains proposed
amendments to the Income Tax Regulations (26 CFR part 1) under section 892 of
the Internal Revenue Code (Code). These
proposed regulations are issued under the
express delegations of authority under
sections 892(c) and 7805(a) of the Code.
Background
I. 2025 Proposed Regulations under
Section 892
On December 15, 2025, the Treasury Department and the IRS published
in the Federal Register (90 FR 57928)
proposed regulations (the 2025 proposed
regulations) under section 892 relating
to taxation of the income of foreign governments from investments in the United
States. The 2025 proposed regulations
would provide guidance for determining
whether an acquisition of debt is commercial activity, and whether a foreign
government has effective control of an
entity. See proposed §§ 1.892-4(c)(1)(ii)
and 1.892-5(c)(2). The 2025 proposed
regulations are proposed to apply to taxable years beginning on or after the date
of publication of the Treasury decision
adopting the 2025 proposed regulations
as final regulations (the final regulations). See proposed §§ 1.892-4(d) and
1.892-5(e).
1583
II. Comments on the Proposed
Applicability Dates
Following the publication of the
2025 proposed regulations, the Treasury
Department and the IRS received comments requesting transitional relief with
respect to the proposed applicability dates.
Commenters requested that the proposed
debt acquisition rules, when finalized,
apply only to debt instruments acquired
on or after the publication date of the final
regulations (the publication date). Commenters also requested a rule that would
preserve the application of existing rules
under section 892 to debt acquired before
the publication date and to debt acquired
on or after the publication date pursuant
to a legally binding commitment entered
into before the publication date. Alternatively, a commenter requested an extended
period of time after the publication date
during which foreign governments could
continue relying on the existing rules for
outstanding debt instruments and commitments while they reposition their interests
to accord with the final regulations. In
addition, a commenter requested a transition rule that would preserve the application of existing rules for debt instruments
acquired on or before 90 days after the
publication date of the final regulations
and for debt instruments acquired after
that date but pursuant to a binding commitment entered into on or before that
date.
Likewise, commenters requested that
the proposed effective control rules, when
finalized, apply only to rights granted (or
materially expanded) on or after the publication date. Commenters recommended a
rule that would preserve the application of
existing rules under section 892 to arrangements in place before the publication date
as well as to entity interests acquired pursuant to legally binding commitments
entered into before the publication date.
Alternatively, commenters requested an
extended period after the publication date
during which foreign governments may
continue relying on the existing rules
with respect to existing interests, and not
have to consider renegotiating or restructuring certain legacy holdings solely due
June 15, 2026
to the final regulations. Similarly, one
commenter requested a transition rule
that would preserve the application of the
existing rules for agreements and other
arrangements entered into on or before 90
days after the publication date.
Explanation of Provisions
I. New Proposed Applicability Dates
As a general matter, the Treasury
Department and the IRS did not intend
for the 2025 proposed regulations, once
finalized, to apply retroactively to existing
foreign government holdings of debt and
of interests in entities (collectively, foreign government holdings). In addition, in
response to the comments, these proposed
regulations would include additional transitional relief. Accordingly, this notice
of proposed rulemaking withdraws the
applicability dates in §§ 1.892-4(d) and
1.892-5(e) of the 2025 proposed regulations and proposes new applicability dates
to ensure that certain existing foreign
government holdings, as well as holdings
acquired during a transition period, would
not be subject to the final regulations. The
existing rules under section 892 would
continue to apply to foreign government
holdings acquired before the applicability
date and to foreign government holdings
acquired on or after the applicability date
if acquired pursuant to a binding commitment entered into before the applicability
date.
These proposed regulations would
address only the proposed applicability
dates of the 2025 proposed regulations.
The Treasury Department and the IRS
recognize the importance of the issues
raised by stakeholders on the substantive aspects of the 2025 proposed regulations. The Treasury Department and
the IRS have received 18 comments on
the 2025 proposed regulations—including with respect to the debt acquisition
rules and the effective control rules—
and are evaluating how to reflect these
comments in the next phase of this project by taking into account established
market practices and the general policy
to support current and future sovereign
wealth fund investment in the United
States. Any terms used but not defined
in this preamble have the meanings
June 15, 2026
given to them in the 2025 proposed regulations.
II. Applicability Date for Debt
Acquisition Rules
Proposed § 1.892-4(d)(2) would provide foreign governments with a transition
period of at least 90 days after the publication date, or until the start of the first taxable year after the publication date, before
the debt acquisition rules in the final regulations apply.
Under proposed § 1.892-4(d)(4), if debt
is acquired before the end of the transition
period or is acquired pursuant to a binding
commitment entered into before the end
of the transition period, the existing rules
applicable before the final regulations
are published would continue to apply
to determine whether that acquisition is
commercial activity, and, accordingly,
whether income received from that debt in
future periods is derived from commercial
activity.
Because it is the acquisition of debt,
and not the mere holding of debt, that is
potentially treated as commercial activity for purposes of section 892, a debt
acquirer is not engaged in commercial
activity in taxable years following the
taxable year of the acquisition of the debt
solely by reason of holding the debt in
the subsequent taxable years. Furthermore, a debt that was acquired in a previous year and held in the current year does
not cause other debt acquisitions in the
current year to be treated as commercial
activity.
III. Applicability Date for Effective
Control Rules
Proposed § 1.892-5(e)(2)(i) would similarly provide foreign governments with a
transition period of at least 90 days after
the publication date, or until the start of
the first taxable year after the publication
date, before the effective control rules in
the final regulations apply.
Under proposed § 1.892-5(e)(2)(ii), the
effective control rules in the final regulations would not apply to a foreign government’s existing interests in an entity unless
the foreign government acquires, after the
transition period, and excluding acquisitions pursuant to a binding commitment
1584
entered into before the end of the transition period, new interests in the entity that,
by themselves, would provide the foreign
government with effective control under
the final regulations. Unless and until this
occurs, whether that entity is a controlled
commercial entity would be determined
under the existing rules applicable before
the final regulations are published, which
will take into account all interests, regardless of when acquired.
Special Analyses
I. Regulatory Planning and Review –
Economic Analysis
These proposed regulations are not
subject to review under section 6(b) of
Executive Order 12866 pursuant to the
Memorandum of Agreement (July 4,
2025) between the Treasury Department
and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regarding review of tax regulations.
II. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520) generally requires
that a Federal agency obtain the approval
of the OMB before collecting information
from the public, whether such collection
of information is mandatory, voluntary,
or required to obtain or retain a benefit.
There are no additional information collection requirements associated with these
proposed regulations.
III. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6), it is hereby certified that this rulemaking will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the
meaning of section 601(6) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This certification is
based on the fact that the proposed regulations affect foreign governments, including their controlled entities, with income
from sources within the United States.
Accordingly, the entities affected by the
proposed regulations are not considered
small entities, and a regulatory flexibility
analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility
Act is not required.
Bulletin No. 2026–25
IV. Section 7805(f)
Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the
Code, these proposed regulations will be
submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on their impact on small
business.
V. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 requires that agencies
assess anticipated costs and benefits and
take certain other actions before issuing a
final rule that includes any Federal mandate that may result in expenditures in any
one year by a State, local, or Tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million in 1995 dollars, updated annually for inflation. The
proposed regulations do not include any
Federal mandate that may result in expenditures by State, local, or Tribal governments, or by the private sector in excess of
that threshold.
VI. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132 (entitled
“Federalism”) prohibits an agency from
publishing any rule that has federalism
implications if the rule either imposes
substantial, direct compliance costs on
State and local governments, and is not
required by statute, or preempts State law,
unless the agency meets the consultation
and funding requirements of section 6 of
the Executive order. The proposed regulations do not have federalism implications and do not impose substantial direct
compliance costs on State and local governments or preempt State law within the
meaning of the Executive order.
Comments and Requests for Public
Hearing
Before the proposed regulations are
adopted as final regulations, consideration
will be given to any comments that are
submitted timely to the IRS as prescribed
in the preamble under the ADDRESSES
heading. The Treasury Department and
the IRS request comments on all aspects
of the proposed regulations. Any comments submitted will be made available
Bulletin No. 2026–25
at https://www.regulations.gov or upon
request.
A public hearing will be scheduled if
requested in writing by any person who
submits electronic or written comments.
Requests for a public hearing are also
encouraged to be made electronically. If
a public hearing is scheduled, notice of
the date and time for the public hearing
will be published in the Federal Register.
Drafting Information
The principal authors of the proposed
regulations are Jack Zhou and Peter
Merkel of the Office of Associate Chief
Counsel (International). However, other
personnel from the Treasury Department
and the IRS participated in their development.
Partial Withdrawal of Proposed
Regulations
Under the authority of 26 U.S.C.
892(c) and 7805, proposed §§ 1.8924(d) and 1.892-5(e), contained in the
notice of proposed rulemaking that was
published in the Federal Register on
December 15, 2025 (90 FR 57928), are
withdrawn.

June 15, 2026
ernment first acquires new controlling
interests (as defined in paragraph (e)(2)

Bulletin No. 2026–25
Definition of Terms
Revenue rulings and revenue procedures
(hereinafter referred to as “rulings”) that
have an effect on previous rulings use the
following defined terms to describe the
effect:
Amplified describes a situation where
no change is being made in a prior published position, but the prior position is
being extended to apply to a variation of
the fact situation set forth therein. Thus,
if an earlier ruling held that a principle
applied to A, and the new ruling holds that
the same principle also applies to B, the
earlier ruling is amplified. (Compare with
modified, below).
Clarified is used in those instances
where the language in a prior ruling is
being made clear because the language
has caused, or may cause, some confusion. It is not used where a position in a
prior ruling is being changed.
Distinguished describes a situation
where a ruling mentions a previously published ruling and points out an essential
difference between them.
Modified is used where the substance
of a previously published position is being
changed. Thus, if a prior ruling held that a
principle applied to A but not to B, and the
new ruling holds that it applies to both A
and B, the prior ruling is modified because
it corrects a published position. (Compare
with amplified and clarified, above).
Obsoleted describes a previously published ruling that is not considered determinative with respect to future transactions.
This term is most commonly used in a ruling
that lists previously published rulings that
are obsoleted because of changes in laws or
regulations. A ruling may also be obsoleted
because the substance has been included in
regulations subsequently adopted.
Revoked describes situations where the
position in the previously published ruling
is not correct and the correct position is
being stated in a new ruling.
Superseded describes a situation where
the new ruling does nothing more than
restate the substance and situation of a
previously published ruling (or rulings).
Thus, the term is used to republish under
the 1986 Code and regulations the same
position published under the 1939 Code
and regulations. The term is also used
when it is desired to republish in a single
ruling a series of situations, names, etc.,
that were previously published over a
period of time in separate rulings. If the
new ruling does more than restate the substance of a prior ruling, a combination of
terms is used. For example, modified and
superseded describes a situation where the
substance of a previously published ruling
is being changed in part and is continued
without change in part and it is desired to
restate the valid portion of the previously
published ruling in a new ruling that is
self contained. In this case, the previously
published ruling is first modified and then,
as modified, is superseded.
Supplemented is used in situations in
which a list, such as a list of the names of
countries, is published in a ruling and that
list is expanded by adding further names
in subsequent rulings. After the original
ruling has been supplemented several
times, a new ruling may be published that
includes the list in the original ruling and
the additions, and supersedes all prior rulings in the series.
Suspended is used in rare situations
to show that the previous published rulings will not be applied pending some
future action such as the issuance of new
or amended regulations, the outcome of
cases in litigation, or the outcome of a
Service study.
