SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to final and temporary 
regulations (TD 9430) that were published in the Federal Register on 
Monday, November 10, 2008 (73 FR 66539) relating to information returns 
for cancellation of indebtedness by certain entities. The temporary 
regulations will avoid premature information reporting from certain 
businesses that are currently required to report and will reduce the 
number of information returns required to be filed. The temporary 
regulations will impact certain lenders who are currently required to 
file information returns under the existing regulations.

DATES: Effective Date: This correction is effective December 11, 2008, 
and is applicable on November 10, 2008.
