-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to final regulations that
were published in the Federal Register on Thursday, January 11, 2001

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Richards at (202) 622-6040 (not a
toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections are
under section 132(f) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Need for Correction
As published, the final regulations (TD 8933), do not address what
taxable year is used for purposes of the applicability dates in the
regulations. These final regulations are being corrected to clarify
that the applicability dates in the regulations are based on the
employee taxable year and that, for this purpose, an employer may
assume that the employee taxable year is the calendar year.
Correction of Publication
Accordingly, the publication of the final regulations (TD 8933),
which were the subject of FR Doc. 01-294, is corrected as follows:
Sec. 1.132-9 [Corrected]
1. On page 2251, column 3, Sec. 1.132-9(b), paragraph (a) of A-25,
last two lines of the paragraph, the language ``section is applicable
for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2001.'' is corrected to
read ``section is applicable for employee taxable years beginning after
December 31, 2001. For this purpose, an employer may assume that the
employee taxable year is the calendar year.''.
2. On page 2251, column 3, Sec. 1.132-9(b), paragraph (b) of A-25,
last three lines of the paragraph, the language ``transit passes are
readily available) is effective for taxable years beginning after
December 31, 2003.'' is corrected to read ``transit passes are readily
available) is applicable for employee taxable years beginning after
December 31, 2003. For this purpose, an employer may assume that the
employee taxable year is the calendar year.''.
