This notice announces that the IRS and
Treasury Department will leave final regulations under section
897(d) and (e) of the Internal Revenue Code that will revise the
rules under Temp. Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.897-5T, Notice 89-85, and
Temp. Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.897-6T to take into account statutory
mergers and consolidations under foreign or possessions law which
may now qualify for non-recognition treatment under section
368(a)(1)(A). The specific collections of information are contained
in Temp. Treas. Reg. Subsection 1.897-5T(c)(4)(II)(C) and

transfer and enable it to verify that the transferor qualified for
non-recognition and that the transferee will be subject to U.S. tax
on a subsequent disposition of the U.S. real property.
