                 This correction to the notice of proposed rulemaking (REG-105600-

                Need for Correction
                 As published, the notice of proposed rulemaking (REG-105600-18)
                contains errors that may prove to be misleading and are in need of
                clarification.
                Correction to Publication
                 Accordingly, the notice of proposed rulemaking (REG-105600-18),
                that was the subject of FR Doc. 2018-26322, published December 7, 2018
                at 83 FR 63200, is corrected as follows:
                Sec. 1.861-9 [Corrected]
                 1. On page 63230, second column, the sixth line of amendatory
                instruction 6, the language ``percent foreign owned corporations'' is
                corrected to read ``percent owned foreign corporations''.
                Sec. 1.904-5 [Corrected]
                 2. On page 63251, second column, paragraph (i)(2), the sixth line,
                the language ``together with other any person that'' is corrected to
                read ``together with any other person that''.
                Sec. 1.904(f)-12 [Corrected]
                 3. On page 63254, second column, paragraph (j)(1)(ii), the sixth
                line, the language ``beginning after December 31, 2018.'' is corrected
                to read ``beginning after December 31, 2017.''.
                Sec. 1.965-7 [Corrected]
                 4. On page 63266, second column, paragraph (e)(1)(iv)(B)(1), the
                eighteenth line, the language ``If the amount of the net operating loss
                carryover or carryback to the taxable year is reduced by reason of the
                section 965(n) election to an amount less than the U.S. source loss
                component of the net operating loss, the potential carryovers (or
                carrybacks) of the separate limitation losses that are part of the net
                operating loss are proportionately reduced as provided in Sec.
                1.904(g)-3(b)(3)(ii).'' is corrected to read ``Therefore, if the amount
                of the net operating loss carryover or carryback to the taxable year
                (as reduced by reason of the section 965(n) election) exceeds the U.S.
                source loss component of the net operating loss that is carried over
                under Sec. 1.904(g)-3(b)(3)(i), but such excess is less than the
                potential carryovers (or carrybacks) of the separate limitation losses
                that are part of the net operating loss, the potential carryovers (or
                carrybacks) are proportionately reduced as provided in Sec. 1.904(g)-
                3(b)(3)(ii) or (iii), as applicable.''.
