This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

Notice of proposed rulemaking; correction.
This document corrects a notice of proposed rulemaking (REG-134420-10) published in the Federal Register on August 7, 2023, modifying regulations applicable to affiliated and controlled groups of corporations in order to reflect statutory changes, update language to remove antiquated or regressive terminology, and enhance clarity. The correction makes parallel amendments to similar regulations applicable to controlled groups of corporations.
The comment period for REG-134420-10 (88 FR 52057, August 7, 2023) is reopened, and additional written or electronic comments and requests for a public hearing must be received by February 5, 2024.
Commenters are strongly encouraged to submit public comments electronically. Submit electronic submissions via the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov (indicate IRS and REG-134420-10). Once submitted to the Federal eRulemaking Portal, comments cannot be edited or withdrawn. The Department of the Treasury (the Treasury Department) and the IRS will publish for public availability any comment submitted to its public docket. Send paper submissions to: ( printed page 84771) CC:PA:01:PR (REG-134420-10), Room 5203, Internal Revenue Service, P.O. Box 7604, Ben Franklin Station, Washington, DC 20044.
Concerning the proposed regulations under section 52, Kari DiCecco of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Employee Benefits, Exempt Organizations, and Employment Taxes) at (202) 317-5500; concerning the proposed regulations under section 414, Jessica Weinberger of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Employee Benefits, Exempt Organizations, and Employment Taxes) at (202) 317-4148 (not toll-free numbers).
The notice of proposed rulemaking (REG-134420-10) that is the subject of this correction is under sections 1502, 1503, 1552, and 1563. The regulations under sections 52 and 414 provide rules similar to the rules under section 1563. An amendment to the regulations under section 1563 without parallel amendments to the regulations under sections 52 and 414 would create inconsistencies. This correction would make parallel changes to the regulations under sections 52 and 414.
As published, REG-134420-10 created inconsistencies by revising § 1.1563-1 without revising parallel language in two additional regulations.
Accordingly, the publication of the proposed regulations (REG-134420-10), which was the subject of FR Doc. 2023-14098, is corrected as follows:
1. On page 52062, the second column, after the first full paragraph, the following language is added:
“Sections 52(a) and 414(b) provide rules for controlled groups of corporations that incorporate section 1563(a), with modifications. Sections 52(b) and 414(c)(1) authorize regulations applying the principles of 52(a) and 414(b) to trades or businesses under common control. The regulations under sections 52(b) and 414(c)(1) include constructive ownership rules that mirror the rules under section 1563. Accordingly, the proposed regulations would revise §§ 1.52-1(c)(1) and 1.414(c)-2(b)(1) in the same way as they revise § 1.1563-1(a)(2).”.
2. In the Proposed Amendments to the Regulations, pages 52069 through 52082, “Par. 6. through Par. 57.” is redesignated as “Par. 8. through Par. 59.” respectively, “Par. 2. through Par. 5.” is redesignated as “Par. 3. through Par. 6.” respectively, and new “Par. 2. and Par. 7.” are added in numerical order.
3. Newly added Par. 2. should read as “ Par. 2 . Section 1.52-1 is amended by removing the text “(directly and with the application of § 1.414(c)-4(b)(1), relating to options)” from paragraph (c)(1) wherever it appears and adding the text “(directly and with the application of § 1.414(c)-4(b)(1), (2), and (3))” in its place.”.
4. Newly added Par. 7. should read as “ Par. 7 . Section 1.414(c)-2 is amended by removing the text “(directly and with the application of § 1.414(c)-4(b)(1), relating to options)” from paragraph (b)(1) wherever it appears and adding the text “(directly and with the application of § 1.414(c)-4(b)(1), (2), and (3))” in its place.”.
