Tax on Certain Imported Substances; Withdrawal of Petition

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the withdrawal, under Notice 89-61, 
1989-1 C.B. 717, of a petition requesting that acrylonitrile-butadiene-
styrene (ABS) pellets be added to the list of taxable substances in 
section 4672(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tyrone J. Montague, Office of 
Assistant Chief Counsel (Passthroughs and Special Industries), (202) 
622-3130 (not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 12, 1989, a Notice of Filing 
was published in the Federal Register (54 FR 37757) announcing the 
acceptance of a petition for ABS submitted by GE Chemicals. Upon 
consideration of the written comments received, it has been decided 
that ABS is a member of the ``polystyrene resins and copolymers'' group 
of taxable substances and, as such, is already on the initial list of 
taxable substances in section 4672(a)(3), effective January 1, 1989. 
Accordingly, the petitioner is withdrawing that petition.
    In addition, on April 14, 1992, a Notice of Receipt of Petitions 
was published in the Federal Register (57 FR 12956) announcing the 
receipt of a petition for ABS submitted by Dow Chemical Company. That 
petition by Dow is not accepted because ABS is a substance on the 
initial list of taxable substances in section 4672(a)(3).

Federal Register Liaison Officer, Assistant Chief Counsel (Corporate).
