    Notice Number: 1545-1987.
    Abstract: Treasury regulations Sec.  1.1503-2(b) provides that a

general rule and its exceptions, Treas. Reg. Sec. Sec.  1.1503-2, 
l.503-2A, and 1.1503-2T require various filings to be included in a

filings on a timely basis are currently required to request an 
extension of time to file under the provisions of Sec.  301.9100-1 
through 301.9100-3. This Notice announces that taxpayers will not be 
required to request extensions for most section 1503(d) filings if they

this time.
