Preface

The IRS Mission

Provide America’s taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsibilities and by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to all.

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 and may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents on a subscription basis. Bulletin contents are compiled semiannually into Cumulative Bulletins, which are sold on a single-copy basis.

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 Unpublished rulings will not be relied on, used, or cited as precedents by Service personnel in the disposition of other cases.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.

Part III. Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous

Notice 2006-37

Nonconventional Source Fuel Credit, Section 29 Inflation Adjustment Factor, and Section 29 Reference Price

This notice publishes the nonconventional source fuel credit, inflation adjustment factor, and reference price under § 29 of the Internal Revenue Code for calendar year 2005. These are used to determine the credit allowable on fuel produced from a nonconventional source under § 29. The calendar year 2005 inflation-adjusted credit applies to the sales of barrel-of-oil equivalent of qualified fuels sold by a taxpayer to an unrelated person during the 2005 calendar year, the domestic production of which is attributable to the taxpayer.

BACKGROUND

Section 29(a) provides for a credit for producing fuel from a nonconventional source, measured in barrel-of-oil equivalent of qualified fuels, the production of which is attributable to the taxpayer and sold by the taxpayer to an unrelated person during the tax year. The credit is equal to the product of $3.00 and the appropriate inflation adjustment factor.

Section 29(b)(1) and (2) provides for a phaseout of the credit. The credit allowable under § 29(a) must be reduced by an amount which bears the same ratio to the amount of the credit (determined without regard to § 29(b)(1)) as the amount by which the reference price for the calendar year in which the sale occurs exceeds $23.50 bears to $6.00. The $3.00 in § 29(a) and the $23.50 and $6.00 must each be adjusted by multiplying these amounts by the 2005 inflation adjustment factor.

Section 29(c)(1), in part, defines the term “qualified fuels” to include gas produced from biomass and liquid, gaseous, or solid synthetic fuels produced from coal (including lignite), including such fuels when used as feedstocks.

Section 29(d)(1) provides that the credit is to be applied only for sale of qualified fuels the production of which is within the United States (within the meaning of § 638(1)) or a possession of the United States (within the meaning of § 638(2)).

Section 29(d)(2)(A) requires that the Secretary, not later than April 1 of each calendar year, determine and publish in the Federal Register the inflation adjustment factor and the reference price for the preceding calendar year.

Section 29(d)(2)(B) defines “inflation adjustment factor” for a calendar year as the fraction the numerator of which is the GNP implicit price deflator for the calendar year and the denominator of which is the GNP implicit price deflator for calendar year 1979. The term “GNP implicit price deflator” means the first revision of the implicit price deflator for the gross national product as computed and published by the Department of Commerce.

Section 29(d)(2)(C) defines “reference price” to mean with respect to a calendar year the Secretary’s estimate of the annual average wellhead price per barrel for all domestic crude oil the price of which is not subject to regulation by the United States.

Section 29(d)(5) provides that the term “barrel-of-oil equivalent” with respect to any fuel generally means that amount of the fuel which has a Btu content of 5.8 million.

INFLATION ADJUSTMENT FACTOR AND REFERENCE PRICE

The inflation adjustment factor for calendar year 2005 is 2.2640. The reference price for calendar year 2005 is $50.26. These amounts were published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2006.

PHASEOUT CALCULATION

Because the calendar year 2005 reference price does not exceed $23.50 multiplied by the inflation adjustment factor, the phaseout of the credit provided for in § 29(b)(1) does not occur for any qualified fuel sold in calendar year 2005.

CREDIT AMOUNT

The nonconventional source fuel credit under § 29(a) is $6.79 per barrel-of-oil equivalent of qualified fuels ($3.00 x 2.2640). This amount was published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2006.

Notice 2006-40

Credit for Production From Advanced Nuclear Facilities

SECTION 1. PURPOSE

This notice sets forth interim guidance, pending the issuance of regulations, relating to the credit under § 45J of the Internal Revenue Code for production of electricity at advanced nuclear power facilities. Specifically, this notice specifies the method that will be used to allocate the national megawatt capacity limitation that limits the allowable credit and prescribes the application process by which taxpayers may request an allocation of the national megawatt capacity limitation. This notice also provides guidance on the requirement that the electricity be sold to an unrelated person and on the effect of grants, tax-exempt bonds, subsidized energy financing, and other credits. The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department expect that the regulations will incorporate the rules set forth in this notice.

SECTION 2. BACKGROUND

.01 Section 45J was enacted by section 1306 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109-58 (119 Stat. 594). Section 45J permits a taxpayer to claim a credit for electricity that the taxpayer (1) produces at an advanced nuclear power facility during the eight-year period beginning when the facility is placed in service and (2) sells to an unrelated person (qualifying electricity).

.02 Under § 45J(d), an advanced nuclear power facility is a nuclear facility that meets all of the following requirements:

(1) The facility consists of a nuclear power reactor that uses nuclear energy to produce electricity. For purposes of this notice, each nuclear power reactor located on a multi-reactor site is a separate facility.

(2) The facility is owned by the taxpayer.

(3) The reactor design for the facility is approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission after December 31, 1993 (and such design or a substantially similar design of comparable capacity was not approved on or before that date).

(4) The facility is placed in service before January 1, 2021.

.03 Under § 45J(b)(1), a taxpayer may claim a credit for qualifying electricity produced at an advanced nuclear power facility only if part of the national megawatt capacity limitation has been allocated to the facility.

.04 Under § 45J(b)(1) and (c), the credit allowed for a taxable year with respect to the qualified electricity produced at an advanced nuclear power facility is computed under the following rules:

(1) A tentative credit for the taxable year is computed for the facility. The facility’s tentative credit for the taxable year is equal to 1.8 cents multiplied by the kilowatt hours of qualified electricity produced at the facility and sold during the taxable year to an unrelated person.

(2) The credit percentage is computed for the facility. If the nameplate capacity of the facility exceeds the national megawatt capacity limitation allocated to the facility, the credit percentage for the facility is determined by dividing the national capacity limitation allocated to the facility by its nameplate capacity. If the nameplate capacity of the facility does not exceed the national megawatt capacity limitation allocated to the facility, the credit percentage for the facility is 100 percent.

(3) The credit allowed is the lesser of (a) the tentative credit for the facility multiplied by the credit percentage for the facility, or (b) $125,000,000 per 1000 megawatts of national megawatt capacity limitation allocated to the facility.

.05 Section 45J(b)(2) provides that the national megawatt capacity limitation is 6,000 megawatts. Section 45J(b)(3) requires the Secretary to allocate this national megawatt capacity limitation. Section 45J(b)(4) requires the Secretary to provide a certification process under which the Secretary, after consultation with the Secretary of Energy, shall approve and allocate the national megawatt capacity limitation.

SECTION 3. ALLOCATION OF NATIONAL MEGAWATT CAPACITY LIMITATION

.01 Allocation Limited to Qualifying Facilities. The Service will allocate the national megawatt capacity limitation only to advanced nuclear facilities (within the meaning of § 45J(d)(2)) that satisfy the requirements of this section 3.01 (qualifying facilities). An advanced nuclear facility is a qualifying facility only if each of the following requirements is satisfied:

(1) An application for a construction/operating license for the facility is filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on or before the later of (i) December 31, 2008, or (ii) the date on which the aggregate nameplate capacity of advanced nuclear facilities for which applications for a construction/operating license have been filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission first equals or exceeds 6,000 megawatts.

(2) Construction on the facility begins before January 1, 2014. For this purpose, construction begins when a person who has applied for or been granted a combined license for an advanced nuclear facility initiates the pouring of safety-related concrete for the reactor building.

(3) The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) provides a certification that the facility qualifies as an advanced nuclear facility, that the requirements of section 3.01(1) and (2) are satisfied, and that it is feasible for the facility to placed in service prior to January 1, 2021 (“DOE certification”).

.02 Application Required.

The Service will allocate the national megawatt capacity limitation only to qualifying facilities for which the applications are submitted in accordance with section 4 of this notice.

.03 Allocation Method.

The national megawatt capacity limitation will be allocated as follows:

(1) If the total nameplate capacity of all qualifying facilities for which applications are submitted does not exceed the national megawatt capacity limitation, each of those facilities will be allocated an amount of national megawatt capacity limitation equal to its nameplate capacity.

(2) If the total nameplate capacity of all qualifying facilities for which applications are submitted exceeds the national megawatt capacity limitation, the national megawatt capacity limitation will be allocated among the facilities in proportion to their nameplate capacities.

.04 Service Action.

On or before December 31, 2014, the Service will accept or reject the taxpayer’s application and will notify the taxpayer, by letter, of its decision. If the taxpayer’s application is accepted, the acceptance letter will state the amount of the national megawatt capacity limitation allocated to the facility.

SECTION 4. APPLICATIONS FOR ALLOCATION OF NATIONAL MEGAWATT CAPACITY LIMITATION

.01 A taxpayer must submit, for each facility for which an allocation of the national megawatt capacity limitation is requested (1) an application to the Service for an allocation under § 45J(b) (“application for § 45J allocation”) and (2) an application to DOE for a DOE certification (“application for DOE certification”).

.02 Applications for § 45J allocation and applications for DOE certification must be submitted before January 31, 2014. For purposes of this notice, an application that is submitted by U.S. mail will be treated as received by the Service on the date of the postmark and an application submitted by a private delivery service will be treated as received by the Service on the date recorded or the date marked in accordance with § 7502(f)(2)(C).

.03 The application for § 45J allocation must include all of the following:

(1) The name and taxpayer identification number of the taxpayer who will place the facility in service;

(2) The name and location of the facility;

(3) The nameplate capacity of the facility;

(4) The date on which the application for a construction/operating license for the facility was filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission;

(5) The date on which construction on the facility began;

(6) Documentation establishing that the facility is expected to be placed in service prior to January 1, 2021; and

(7) A copy of the application for DOE certification for the facility.

.04 Applications for § 45J allocation should be marked: SECTION 45J APPLICATION FOR ALLOCATION. There is not any user fee for these applications.

(1) These applications should be sent to the following address:

Internal Revenue Service
Attn: CC:PSI:6, Room 5114
P.O. Box 7604
Ben Franklin Station
Washington, DC 20044

If a private delivery service is used, the address is:

Internal Revenue Service
Attn: CC:PSI:6, Room 5114
1111 Constitution Ave., N.W.
Washington, DC 20224

(2) Applications for certification may also be hand delivered Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. to:

Courier’s Desk
Internal Revenue Service
Attn: CC:PSI:6, Room 5114
1111 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20224

.05 The application for DOE certification must be submitted to DOE in such manner and contain such information as DOE may require. If DOE determines that the conditions for certification are satisfied (see section 3.01 of this notice), it will provide the DOE certification to the Service. The DOE certification will be subject to such requirements and conditions as the Secretary of Energy may prescribe.

SECTION 5. REALLOCATION OF NATIONAL MEGAWATT CAPACITY LIMITATION IN CERTAIN CASES

If an amount of national megawatt capacity limitation is allocated to a facility and the facility is not placed in service before January 1, 2021, or the DOE informs the Service that the DOE certification for the facility has been withdrawn, the amount of the national megawatt capacity limitation allocated to that facility will be withdrawn and the national megawatt capacity limitation will be reallocated under the rules of section 3.03 of this notice among the remaining qualifying facilities.

SECTION 6. ADDITIONAL ISSUES

.01 Sale to Unrelated Person. The credit under § 45J is allowed only for electricity that the taxpayer produces and sells to an unrelated person. Electricity will be treated as sold to an unrelated person for this purpose if the ultimate purchaser of the electricity is not related to the person that produces the electricity. The requirement of a sale to an unrelated person will be treated as satisfied in these circumstances even if the producer sells the electricity to a related person for resale by the related person to a person that is not related to the producer. For rules for determining whether a person is related to the producer of the electricity, see § 45(e)(4).

.02 Effect of Grants, Tax-Exempt Bonds, Subsidized Energy Financing, and Other Credits. The amount of the credit under § 45J is not reduced on account of any grants, tax-exempt bonds, subsidized energy financing, or other credits described in § 45(b)(3).

SECTION 7. PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT

The collection of information contained in this notice has been reviewed and approved by the Office of Management and Budget in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3507) under control number 1545-2000.

3.03. Gulf Tax Credit Bonds

Section 1400N(l)(1) provides that a taxpayer that holds a Gulf Tax Credit Bond on one or more credit allowance dates of the bond occurring during any taxable year is allowed as a credit against Federal income tax for the taxable year an amount equal to the sum of the credits determined under § 1400N(l)(2) with respect to such dates.

In general, § 1400N(l)(2)(B) provides that the annual credit determined with respect to any Gulf Tax Credit Bond is the product of the credit rate determined by the Secretary for the day on which such bond was sold, multiplied by the outstanding face amount of the bond. Under § 1400N(l)(2)(C), with respect to any Gulf Tax Credit Bond, the Secretary shall determine daily or cause to be determined daily a credit rate which shall apply to the first day on which there is a binding, written contract for the sale or exchange of the bond. The credit rate for any day is the credit rate which the Secretary estimates will permit the issuance of Gulf Tax Credit Bonds with a specified maturity or redemption date without discount and without interest cost to the issuer.

Section 1400N(l)(4)(D) provides that a bond that is part of an issue of Gulf Tax Credit Bonds shall not be treated as a Gulf Tax Credit Bond unless, with respect to the issue of which the bond is a part, the issuer satisfies the arbitrage requirements of § 148 with respect to the proceeds of the issue and any loans made with such proceeds.

Section 1400N(l)(5)(A) provides that the term qualified bond for purposes of § 1400N(l) means any obligation of a State or political subdivision thereof which was outstanding on August 28, 2005. Sections 1400N(l)(5)(B), (C), and (D) further provide that such term does not include any private activity bond, any bond with respect to which there is any outstanding refunded or refunding bond during the period in which a Gulf Tax Credit Bond is outstanding with respect to such bond, or any bond issued as part of an issue if any portion of the proceeds of such issue was (or is to be) used to provide any property described in § 144(c)(6)(B).

Section 1400N(l)(6) provides that the amount of credit allowed to a taxpayer under § 1400N(l) (determined without regard to § 1400N(l)(3)) shall be treated as interest and included in the gross income of the taxpayer.

Section 1400N(l)(7)(D) requires issuers of Gulf Tax Credit Bonds to submit reports similar to the reports required under § 149(e) for tax-exempt State or local bonds. Section 149(e) generally requires issuers of tax exempt bonds to file an information return with the Secretary not later than the 15th day of the 2nd calendar month after the close of the calendar quarter in which the bond is issued.

4.02. Information Reporting for Gulf Zone Advance Refunding Bonds

In order to satisfy the information reporting requirement of § 149(e) with respect to Gulf Opportunity Zone Advance Refunding Bonds issued pursuant to § 1400N(b), in addition to completing either the Form 8038, Information Return for Tax-Exempt Private Activity Bond Issues, Form 8038-G, Information Return for Tax-Exempt Governmental Obligations, or Form 8038-GC, Information Return for Small Tax-Exempt Governmental Bond Issues, Leases, and Installment Sales, as appropriate, in accordance with the instructions for refunding bonds, issuers should (1) write or type “Filed in Accordance with Notice 2006-41 — Gulf Opportunity Zone Advance Refunding Bonds” at the top of the Form 8038, 8038-G or 8038-GC and (2) attach a copy of the document used by the Governor to designate the bonds as Gulf Opportunity Zone Advance Refunding Bonds.

4.03. Information Reporting for Gulf Tax Credit Bonds

Section 1400N(l)(7)(D) requires issuers of Gulf Tax Credit Bonds to submit reports similar to the reports required under § 149(e) for tax-exempt State or local bonds. In order to satisfy this requirement, in addition to completing the Form 8038-G, Information Return for Tax-Exempt Governmental Obligations, in accordance with the instructions, issuers should: (1) write or type “Filed in Accordance with Notice 2006-41 — Gulf Tax Credit Bonds” at the top of the Form 8038-G; (2) complete Part II of Form 8038-G by checking the box on Line 18 (Other), writing “Gulf Tax Credit Bonds” in the space provided for the bond description, and entering the amount of the bonds in the Issue Price column; and (3) attach a copy of the document used by the Governor to designate the bonds as Gulf Tax Credit Bonds.

SECTION 5. CREDIT RATE FOR GULF TAX CREDIT BONDS

The credit rate for an issue of Gulf Tax Credit Bonds is the applicable Gulf Tax Credit Bond credit rate published each business day by the Bureau of Public Debt on its Internet site for State and Local Government Series securities at: http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov. The applicable Gulf Tax Credit Bond credit rate shall be applied to an issue of Gulf Tax Credit Bonds on the day the issue is sold. For this purpose, the issue is sold on the first day there is a binding, written contract for the sale or exchange of the bonds. The credit rates will be determined by the Treasury Department based on its estimate of the yield on outstanding AA rate corporate bonds of a similar maturity for the business day immediately prior to the date on which the issue is sold.

SECTION 6. ARBITRAGE REQUIREMENTS FOR GULF TAX CREDIT BONDS

Section 1400N(l)(4)(D) generally provides that the arbitrage requirements of § 148 applicable to tax-exempt State or local bonds apply to Gulf Tax Credit Bonds and any loans made with the proceeds of such bonds. In applying § 148 to Gulf Tax Credit Bonds the following special rules apply—

(1) The credit allowed under § 1400N(l)(1) shall be disregarded for purposes of computing the yield on the issue under § 1.148-4;

(2) Section 148(b)(3) (relating to exception to the definition of “investment property” for certain tax-exempt bonds) shall not apply.

SECTION 7. TREATMENT OF CREDIT BY HOLDERS OF GULF TAX CREDIT BONDS

The following rules are applicable to holders of Gulf Tax Credit Bonds:

(1) The holder of a Gulf Tax Credit Bond must treat the bond as if it pays qualified stated interest (within the meaning of § 1.1273-1(c)) on each credit allowance date. Thus, for example, if the holder uses an accrual method of accounting, the holder must accrue as interest income the amount of the credit over each period that ends on a credit allowance date.

(2) If a holder holds a Gulf Tax Credit Bond on a credit allowance date but cannot use all or a portion of the credit to reduce its income tax liability (for example, because the limitation in § 1400N(l)(3) applies), the holder is allowed a deduction for the taxable year that includes the credit allowance date (or, at the option of the holder, the next succeeding taxable year). The amount of the deduction is equal to the amount of the unused credit deemed paid on each credit allowance date during the taxable year.

(3) If a person is a partner in a partnership, a beneficiary of an estate or trust, a shareholder in an S corporation, or the owner of an interest in another pass-through entity except for a regulated investment company (collectively, pass-through entity), and the pass-through entity owns a Gulf Tax Credit Bond, then the amount of the credit under § 1400(l)(1) allowed to such person for any taxable year shall not exceed an amount (separately computed with respect to such person’s interest in such entity) equal to the amount of tax attributable to that portion of the person’s taxable income in such year that is allocable or apportionable to the person’s interest in such entity.

If an organization listed above submits information that warrants the renewal of its classification as a public charity or as a private operating foundation, the Internal Revenue Service will issue a ruling or determination letter with the revised classification as to foundation status. Grantors and contributors may thereafter rely upon such ruling or determination letter as provided in section 1.509(a)-7 of the Income Tax Regulations. It is not the practice of the Service to announce such revised classification of foundation status in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

Deletions From Cumulative List of Organizations Contributions to Which are Deductible Under Section 170 of the Code

The name of an organization that no longer qualifies as an organization described in section 170(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is listed below.

Generally, the Service will not disallow deductions for contributions made to a listed organization on or before the date of announcement in the Internal Revenue Bulletin that an organization no longer qualifies. However, the Service is not precluded from disallowing a deduction for any contributions made after an organization ceases to qualify under section 170(c)(2) if the organization has not timely filed a suit for declaratory judgment under section 7428 and if the contributor (1) had knowledge of the revocation of the ruling or determination letter, (2) was aware that such revocation was imminent, or (3) was in part responsible for or was aware of the activities or omissions of the organization that brought about this revocation.

If on the other hand a suit for declaratory judgment has been timely filed, contributions from individuals and organizations described in section 170(c)(2) that are otherwise allowable will continue to be deductible. Protection under section 7428(c) would begin on May 1, 2006, and would end on the date the court first determines that the organization is not described in section 170(c)(2) as more particularly set forth in section 7428(c)(1). For individual contributors, the maximum deduction protected is $1,000, with a husband and wife treated as one contributor. This benefit is not extended to any individual, in whole or in part, for the acts or omissions of the organization that were the basis for revocation.

Definition of Terms and Abbreviations

Definition of Terms

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.

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:
