    OMB Control Number: 1545-2291.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Description: The Treasury Department and the IRS published final 
regulations (TD 9866) in the Federal Register (84 FR 29288) under Sec.  
951A (final regulations). The final regulations adopted ``aggregate 
treatment'' with respect to income inclusion amounts arising from 
section 951A (the global intangible low tax income inclusion or GILTI) 
for partnerships. Under aggregate treatment, for purposes of 
determining the GILTI inclusion amount of any partner of a domestic 
partnership, each partner is treated as proportionately owning the 
stock of a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) owned by the 
partnership within the meaning of Sec.  958(a) in the same manner as if 
the domestic partnership were a foreign partnership. Because only a 
U.S. person that is a U.S. shareholder can have a GILTI inclusion 
amount, a partner that is not a U.S. shareholder of a partnership-owned 
CFC does not have a GILTI inclusion amount determined by reference to 
the partnership-owned CFC. Section 1.951A-1(e)(1) applies to taxable 
years of foreign corporations beginning after December 31, 2017, and to 
taxable years of U.S. shareholders in which or with which such taxable 
years of foreign corporations' end. There are no changes being made to 
the regulations at this time.
