SUMMARY: This document provides notice of a public hearing on proposed

to testify in the Los Angeles area will be able to make their
presentations at an Internal Revenue Service remote videoconference
site.
DATES: The public hearing will be held October 14, 1998, beginning at 1
p.m. (EDT). Requests to speak and outlines of oral comments must be
received by October 7, 1998.
ADDRESSES: The public hearing will be held in room 3411, Internal

of the Federal Building at 300 N. Los Angeles Street, Los Angeles, CA.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Slaughter of the Regulations
Unit, Assistant Chief Counsel (Corporate), (202) 622-7180 (not a toll-
free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject of the public hearing is
proposed regulations issued under sections 1361, 1362, 1368, and 1374
of the Internal Revenue Code. These proposed regulations (REG-251698-
96) appeared in the Federal Register (63 FR 19864) and the Internal
Revenue Bulletin (1998-20 IRB 14 (see Sec. 601.601 (d)(2)(ii)(b))),
Wednesday, April 22, 1998.
The hearing was originally scheduled for September 9, 1998, but was
postponed (63 FR 47455, September 8, 1998). The original hearing was
also scheduled to be broadcast to a videoconference site in St. Louis.
However, because of scheduling conflicts and the withdrawal of the St.
Louis speaker, there will not be a videoconference site available for
the hearing in St. Louis.
The rules of Sec. 601.601(a)(3) of the ``Statement of Procedural
Rules'' (26 CFR part 601) shall apply with respect to the public
hearing. Persons who have submitted written comments within the time
prescribed in the notice of proposed rulemaking and who also desire to
present oral comments at the hearing on the proposed regulations should
submit an outline of the oral comments/testimony to be presented at the
hearing as well as the time they wish to devote to each subject.
Submissions must be made no later than October 7, 1998.
Each speaker (or group of speakers representing a single entity)
will be limited to 10 minutes for an oral presentation exclusive of the
time consumed by the government panel and answers to those questions.
Because of controlled access restrictions, attendants cannot be
admitted beyond the lobby of the Internal Revenue Building until 12:30
p.m. Hearing times at the Los Angeles videoconference site will be
concurrent with the hearing in Washington, DC. (i.e., 10 a.m. PDT).
Due to limited seating capacity at the Los Angeles site, no more
than 12 people may be accommodated at any one time in the
videoconference room. Seating in the videoconference room will be made
available based on the order of presentations. IRS personnel will be
available at the Los Angeles videoconference site to assist speakers in
using the videoconference equipment.
The Service will prepare and provide, free of charge at the
hearing, an agenda showing the scheduling of speakers. Testimony will
begin with the speakers at the Los Angeles videoconference site and
conclude with presentations by the speakers in Washington, DC.

Chief, Regulations Unit, Assistant Chief Counsel (Corporate).
