SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The subject of the public hearing is the notice of proposed regulations (REG-103735-00 and REG-103736-00). The public hearing was originally scheduled on December 11, 2002, and notice of the public hearing was published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, October 22, 2002 (67 FR 64842). Due to inclement weather, some hearing participants were unable to attend. For this reason, the IRS is rescheduling the public hearing.

The rules of 26 CFR 601.601(a)(3) apply to the hearing.

Persons who have submitted written comments and wish to present oral comments at the hearing, must submit an outline of the topics to be discussed and the amount of time to be devoted to each topic (signed original and eight copies) by Friday, January 3, 2002.

A period of 10 minutes is allocated to each person for presenting oral comments.

After the deadline for receiving outlines has passed, the IRS will prepare an agenda containing the schedule of speakers. Copies of the agenda will be made available, free of charge, at the hearing.

Because of access restrictions, the IRS will not admit visitors beyond the immediate entrance area no more than 30 minutes before the hearing starts. For information about having your name placed on the building access list to attend the hearing, see the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document.
