Subject: Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service: Regulations Regarding the

Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule
promulgated by the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) entitled
Regulations Regarding the Transition Tax Under Section 965 and Related Provisions (RIN:

Register on February 5, 2019. 84 Fed. Reg. 1838. The effective date of the final rule was

The final rule implements section 965 of the Internal Revenue Code. Specifically, this final rule
provides general rules and definitions under section 965, including general rules concerning
section 965(a) inclusion amounts, general rules concerning section 965(c) deduction amounts,
and rules concerning the treatment of certain specified foreign corporations as controlled foreign
corporations (as defined in section 957) and certain controlled domestic partnerships as foreign
partnerships.

The Congressional Review Act (CRA) requires a 60-day delay in the effective date of a major
rule from the date of publication in the Federal Register or receipt of the rule by Congress,
whichever is later. 5 U.S.C. § 801(a)(3)(A). The final rule was published in the Federal Register
on February 5, 2019. 84 Fed. Reg. 1838. The rule was received by the Senate on February 26,
2019, and by the House on February 27, 2019. 165 Cong. Rec. H2310, S1591. The rule has a
stated effective date of February 5, 2019. Therefore the final rule does not have the required
