must be made by the due date for the consolidated returns (including 
extensions). The section 1.1502 13(f)(5)(ii) election is made by 
attaching a statement to the consolidated return. Section 1.1502-
13(f)(6)(i)(C) provides for an election to reduce basis in parent 
stock. The election must be made in a separate statement filed with the 
consolidated group's tax return. The information will be used to

    Abstract: Tax on Certain Foreign Procurement, Notice of Purposed 
Rulemaking, contains proposed regulations under section 5000C of the

treaty. Section 5000C imposes a 2% tax on foreign persons (as defined 
in section 7701(a)(30)), that are parties to specified Federal 
procurement contracts with the U.S. government entered into on and 
after January 2, 2011. This tax is imposed on the gross amount of

increasing the amount withheld under chapter 3. A Form W-14 must be 
provided to the acquiring agency (U.S. government department, agency, 
independent establishment, or corporation) to: Establish that they are 
a foreign contracting party; and If applicable, claim an exemption from 
withholding based on an international agreement (such as a tax treaty); 
or Claim an exemption from withholding, in whole or in part, based on 
an international procurement agreement or because goods are produced, 
or services are performed in the United States. A Form W-14 must be 
provided to the acquiring agency if a foreign contracting party has 
been paid a specified Federal procurement payment and the foreign 
contracting party is seeking to claim an exemption (in whole or in 
part) from the tax imposed by section 5000C. Form W-14 must be 
submitted when requested by the acquiring agency, whether or not an 
exemption (in whole or in part) is claimed from withholding under 
section 5000C.
    Form: W-14.
    Affected Public: Federal Government.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 11,840.
