SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    A notice of proposed rulemaking and notice of public hearing, 
appearing in the Federal Register on Wednesday, February 14, 2001 (66 
FR 10247), announced that a public hearing was being held on June 4, 
2001, regarding proposed regulations under sections 6041 and 6051. A 
hearing cancellation document was inadvertently published in the 
Federal Register on May 23, 2001 (66 FR 28408). Thus, the IRS is 
rescheduling the public hearing for Wednesday, July 25, 2001, at 10 
a.m. in room 4716. Outlines of oral comments must be received by July 
6, 2001.
