       (1) Public safety on the highways of the United States is a 
     paramount concern of all who use the highways and all who 
     prescribe public policy for the use of those highways, 
     including public policy on the operation of heavy commercial 
     trucks on highways.
       (2) Federal highway funding law effectively imposes a limit 
     of 80,000 pounds on the weight of vehicles permitted to use 
     Interstate System highways.
       (3) The administration of this law in Maine has forced 
     heavy tractor-trailer and tractor-semitrailer combination 
     vehicles traveling into Maine from neighboring States and 
     Canada to divert onto small State and local roads where 
     higher vehicle weight limits apply under Maine law.
       (4) The diversion of those vehicles onto such roads causes 
     significant economic hardships and safety challenges for 
     small communities located along those roads.
       (5) Permitting heavy commercial vehicles, including tanker 
     trucks carrying hazardous material and fuel oil, to travel on 
     Interstate System highways in Maine--
       (A) would enhance public safety by reducing--
       (i) the number of heavy vehicles that use town and city 
     streets in Maine; and
       (ii) as a result, the number of dangerous interactions 
     between those heavy vehicles and such other vehicles as 
     school buses and private vehicles; and
       (B) would reduce the net highway maintenance costs in Maine 
     because the Interstate System highways, unlike the secondary 
     roads of Maine, are built to accommodate heavy vehicles and 
     are, therefore, more durable.
       (c) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Covered interstate system highway.--
       (A) In general.--The term ``covered Interstate System 
     highway'' means a highway within the State of Maine that is 
     designated as a route on the Interstate System, except as 
     provided in subparagraph (B).
       (B) Exception.--The term does not include any portion of 
     highway that, as of the date of the enactment of this 
     section, is exempted from the requirements of subsection (a) 
     of section 127 of title 23, United States Code, by the last 
     sentence of such subsection.
       (2) Interstate system.--The term ``Interstate System'' has 
     the meaning given that term in section 101(a) of title 23, 
     United States Code.
       (d) Maine Truck Safety Demonstration Program.--The 
     Secretary of Transportation shall carry out a program, in the 
     administration of this section, to demonstrate the effects on 
     the safety of the overall highway network in the State of 
     Maine that would result from permitting vehicles described in 
     subsection (e)(2) to be operated on the Interstate System 
     highways within the State.
       (e) Waiver of Highway Funding Reduction Relating to Weight 
     of Vehicles Using Interstate System Highways.--
       (1) Prohibition relating to certain vehicles.--
     Notwithstanding section 127(a) of title 23, United States 
     Code, the total amount of funds apportioned to the State of 
     Maine under section 104(b)(1) of such title for any period 
     may not be reduced under such section 127(a) on the basis 
     that the State of Maine permits a vehicle described in 
     paragraph (2) to use a covered Interstate System highway.
       (2) Combination vehicles in excess of 80,000 pounds.--A 
     vehicle referred to in paragraph (1) is a vehicle having a 
     weight in excess of 80,000 pounds that--
       (A) consists of a 3-axle tractor unit hauling a single 
     trailer or semitrailer; and
       (B) does not exceed any vehicle weight limitation that is 
     applicable under the laws of the State of Maine to the 
     operation of such vehicle on highways in Maine not in the 
     Interstate System, as such laws are in effect on the date of 
     the enactment of this section.
       (3) Effective date and termination.--
       (A) Effective date.--
       (i) Date of satisfaction of administrative conditions by 
     maine.--The prohibition in paragraph (1) shall take effect on 
     the date on which the Secretary of Transportation

[[Page 1273]]

     notifies the Commissioner of Transportation of the State of 
     Maine in writing that--

       (I) the Secretary has received the plan described in 
     subsection (f)(1); and
       (II) the Commissioner has established a highway safety 
     committee as described in subsection (f)(2) and has 
     promulgated rules and procedures for the collection of 
     highway safety data as described in subsection (f)(3).

       (ii) Permanent effect.--After taking effect, the 
     prohibition in paragraph (1) shall remain in effect unless 
     terminated under subparagraph (B).
       (B) Contingent termination.--The prohibition in paragraph 
     (1) shall terminate 3 years after the effective date 
     applicable under subparagraph (A) if, before the end of such 
     3-year period, the Secretary of Transportation--
       (i) determines that--

       (I) operation of vehicles described in paragraph (2) on 
     covered Interstate System highways in Maine has adversely 
     affected safety on the overall highway network in Maine; or
       (II) the Commissioner of Transportation of the State of 
     Maine has failed faithfully to use the highway safety 
     committee as described in subsection (f)(2)(A) or to collect 
     data as described in subsection (f)(3); and

       (ii) publishes the determination, together with the date of 
     the termination of the prohibition, in the Federal Register.
       (4) Consultation regarding termination for safety.--In 
     making a determination under paragraph (3)(B)(i)(I), the 
     Secretary of Transportation shall consult with the highway 
     safety committee established by the Commissioner in 
     accordance with subsection (f).
       (f) Responsibilities of the State of Maine.--For the 
     purposes of subsection (e), the State of Maine satisfies the 
     conditions of this subsection if the Commissioner of 
     Transportation of the State of Maine--
       (1) submits to the Secretary of Transportation a plan for 
     satisfying the conditions set forth in paragraphs (2) and 
     (3);
       (2) establishes and chairs a highway safety committee 
     that--

     pursuant to paragraph (3); and
       (B) consists of representatives of--
       (i) agencies of the State of Maine that have 
     responsibilities related to highway safety;

     System highways have on the safety of the overall highway 
     network in Maine, including the net effects on single-vehicle 
     and multiple-vehicle collision rates for such vehicles.

     SEC. 5611. CLARIFICATION OF ECONOMIC SUBSTANCE DOCTRINE.

       (a) In General.--Section 7701 is amended by redesignating 
     subsection (n) as subsection (o) and by inserting after 
     subsection (m) the following new subsection:
       ``(n) Clarification of Economic Substance Doctrine; Etc.--
       ``(1) General rules.--
       ``(A) In general.--In any case in which a court determines 
     that the economic substance doctrine is relevant for purposes 
     of this title to a transaction (or series of transactions), 
     such transaction (or series of transactions) shall have 
     economic substance only if the requirements of this paragraph 
     are met.
       ``(B) Definition of economic substance.--For purposes of 
     subparagraph (A)--
       ``(i) In general.--A transaction has economic substance 
     only if--

       ``(I) the transaction changes in a meaningful way (apart 
     from Federal tax effects) the taxpayer's economic position, 
     and
       ``(II) the taxpayer has a substantial nontax purpose for 
     entering into such transaction and the transaction is a 
     reasonable means of accomplishing such purpose.

     In applying subclause (II), a purpose of achieving a 
     financial accounting benefit shall not be taken into account 
     in determining whether a transaction has a substantial nontax 
     purpose if the origin of such financial accounting benefit is 
     a reduction of income tax.
       ``(ii) Special rule where taxpayer relies on profit 
     potential.--A transaction shall not be treated as having 
     economic substance by reason of having a potential for profit 
     unless--

       ``(I) the present value of the reasonably expected pre-tax 
     profit from the transaction is substantial in relation to the 
     present value of the expected net tax benefits that would be 
     allowed if the transaction were respected, and
       ``(II) the reasonably expected pre-tax profit from the 
     transaction exceeds a risk-free rate of return.

       ``(C) Treatment of fees and foreign taxes.--Fees and other 
     transaction expenses and foreign taxes shall be taken into 
     account as expenses in determining pre-tax profit under 
     subparagraph (B)(ii).
       ``(2) Special rules for transactions with tax-indifferent 
     parties.--
       ``(A) Special rules for financing transactions.--The form 
     of a transaction which is in substance the borrowing of money 
     or the acquisition of financial capital directly or

[[Page 1290]]

     indirectly from a tax-indifferent party shall not be 
     respected if the present value of the deductions to be 
     claimed with respect to the transaction is substantially in 
     excess of the present value of the anticipated economic 
     returns of the person lending the money or providing the 
     financial capital. A public offering shall be treated as a 
     borrowing, or an acquisition of financial capital, from a 
     tax-indifferent party if it is reasonably expected that at 
     least 50 percent of the offering will be placed with tax-
     indifferent parties.
       ``(B) Artificial income shifting and basis adjustments.--
     The form of a transaction with a tax-indifferent party shall 
     not be respected if--
       ``(i) it results in an allocation of income or gain to the 
     tax-indifferent party in excess of such party's economic 
     income or gain, or
       ``(ii) it results in a basis adjustment or shifting of 
     basis on account of overstating the income or gain of the 
     tax-indifferent party.
       ``(3) Definitions and special rules.--For purposes of this 
     subsection--
       ``(A) Economic substance doctrine.--The term `economic 
     substance doctrine' means the common law doctrine under which 
     tax benefits under subtitle A with respect to a transaction 
     are not allowable if the transaction does not have economic 
     substance or lacks a business purpose.
       ``(B) Tax-indifferent party.--The term `tax-indifferent 
     party' means any person or entity not subject to tax imposed 
     by subtitle A. A person shall be treated as a tax-indifferent 
     party with respect to a transaction if the items taken into 
     account with respect to the transaction have no substantial 
     impact on such person's liability under subtitle A.
       ``(C) Exception for personal transactions of individuals.--
     In the case of an individual, this subsection shall apply 
     only to transactions entered into in connection with a trade 
     or business or an activity engaged in for the production of 
     income.
       ``(D) Treatment of lessors.--In applying paragraph 
     (1)(B)(ii) to the lessor of tangible property subject to a 
     lease--
       ``(i) the expected net tax benefits with respect to the 
     leased property shall not include the benefits of--

       ``(III) any other deduction as provided in guidance by the 
     Secretary, and

     disregarded in determining whether any of such benefits are 
     allowable.

     specifically provided in this subsection, the provisions of 
     this subsection shall not be construed as altering or 
     supplanting any other rule of law, and the requirements of 
     this subsection shall be construed as being in addition to 
     any such other rule of law.
       ``(5) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe such 
     regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out 
     the purposes of this subsection. Such regulations may include 
     exemptions from the application of this subsection.''.
       (b) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section 
     shall apply to transactions entered into after February 2, 
     2004.

     paragraph, would be includible in the gross income of any 
     individual by reason of this section shall be reduced (but 
     not below zero) by $600,000. For purposes of this paragraph, 
     allocable expatriation gain taken into account under

     amount required to be includible in gross income.

     occurring in any calendar year after 2004, the $600,000

     citizen.--
       ``(A) In general.--If a covered expatriate elects the 
     application of this paragraph--
       ``(i) this section (other than this paragraph and 
     subsection (i)) shall not apply to the expatriate, but
       ``(ii) in the case of property to which this section would 
     apply but for such election, the expatriate shall be subject 
     to tax under this title in the same manner as if the 
     individual were a United States citizen.
       ``(B) Requirements.--Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to an 
     individual unless the individual--
       ``(i) provides security for payment of tax in such form and 
     manner, and in such amount, as the Secretary may require,

     of this subsection with respect to any property treated as 
     sold by reason of subsection (a), the payment of the 
     additional tax attributable to such property shall be 
     postponed until the due date of the return for the taxable 
     year in which such property is disposed of (or, in the case 
     of property disposed of in a transaction in which gain is not 
     recognized in whole or in part, until such other date as the 
     Secretary may prescribe).
       ``(2) Determination of tax with respect to property.--For 
     purposes of paragraph (1), the additional tax attributable to 
     any property is an amount which bears the same ratio to the 
     additional tax imposed by this chapter for the taxable year 
     solely by reason of subsection (a) as the gain taken into 
     account under subsection (a) with respect to such property 
     bears to the total gain taken into account under subsection 
     (a) with respect to all property to which subsection (a) 
     applies.

     specified by the Secretary).

     adequate security if--

     amount under paragraph (2) for the property, or
       ``(ii) the taxpayer otherwise establishes to the 
     satisfaction of the Secretary that the security is adequate.
       ``(5) Waiver of certain rights.--No election may be made 
     under paragraph (1) unless the taxpayer consents to the 
     waiver of any right under any treaty of the United States 
     which would preclude assessment or collection of any tax 
     imposed by reason of this section.
       ``(6) Elections.--An election under paragraph (1) shall 
     only apply to property described in the election and, once 
     made, is irrevocable. An election may be made under paragraph 
     (1) with respect to an interest in a trust with respect to 
     which gain is required to be recognized under subsection 
     (f)(1).
       ``(7) Interest.--For purposes of section 6601--

     covered expatriate if--

     citizen of another country and, as of the expatriation date, 
     continues to be a citizen of, and is taxed as a resident of, 
     such other country, and
       ``(ii) has not been a resident of the United States (as 
     defined in section 7701(b)(1)(A)(ii)) during the 5 taxable 
     years ending with the taxable year during which the
