of interest requirements. The rules of Subpart J relate to the issuance of Certificates of
Divestiture and the permitted property into which a reinvestment must be made during the 60day period beginning on the date of such a sale in order for nomecognition to be permitted. Such
reinvestments are called rollovers, and are limited to obligations of the United States and

rules relating to the tax aspects of such sales and rollovers pursuant to the statutory scheme are
subject to the jurisdiction of the Internal Revenue Service.
Eligible persons should seek the advice of their personal tax advisors for guidance as to
the tax aspects of divestiture transactions and whether proposed acquisitions meet the
requirements for permitted property. Internal Revenue Service regulations and other guidance
should be consulted as to these matters. Internal Revenue Service requirements for reporting
dispositions of property and making an election not to recognize gain under section 1043 (IRS
Form 8824) must be followed by eligible persons wishing to make such an election.
