AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking by cross-reference to temporary regulations and notice of public hearing.

SUMMARY: In the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register, the IRS amends the temporary regulations under sections 1060 and 338(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) relating to purchase price allocations in taxable asset acquisitions and deemed asset purchases. The amendments revise the treatment of intangible assets in such acquisitions to take into account the enactment of section 197 by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. The regulations provide guidance to parties to taxable asset acquisitions and to deemed asset purchases resulting from elections under section 338. The text of those temporary regulations also serves as the text of these proposed regulations. This document also provides notice of a public hearing on these proposed regulations.
