SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
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.
Need for Correction
As published, REG-134420-10 created inconsistencies by revising
Sec. 1.1563-1 without revising parallel language in two additional
regulations.
Correction of Publication
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 Sec. Sec. 1.52-
1(c)(1) and 1.414(c)-2(b)(1) in the same way as they revise Sec.
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.
Sec. 1.52-1 [Amended]
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
Sec. 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 Sec. 1.414(c)-4(b)(1), (2), and (3))'' in its place.''.
Sec. 1.414(c)-2 [Amended]
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
Sec. 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 Sec. 1.414(c)-4(b)(1), (2), and (3))'' in its place.''.

Counsel, (Procedure and Administration).
