4 SEC. 272. STUDY OF EXTENDED TAX EXPENDITURES.
5 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:

6 (1) Currently, the aggregate cost of Federal tax
7 expenditures rivals, or even exceeds, the amount of
8 total Federal discretionary spending.
9 (2) Given the escalating public debt, a critical
10 examination of this use of taxpayer dollars is essen-
11 tial.
12 (3) Additionally, tax expenditures can com-
13 plicate the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for tax-
14 payers and complicate tax administration for the In-
15 ternal Revenue Service.
16 (4) To facilitate a better understanding of tax
17 expenditures in the future, it is constructive for leg-
18 islation extending these provisions to include a study
19 of such provisions.
20 (b) REQUIREMENT TO REPORT.—Not later than No-
21 vember 30, 2010, the Chief of Staff of the Joint Com-
22 mittee on Taxation, in consultation with the Comptroller
23 General of the United States, shall submit to the Com-
24 mittee on Ways and Means of the House of Representa-
25 tives and the Committee on Finance of the Senate a report
MAT10512 S.L.C.
62
1 on each tax expenditure (as defined in section 3(3) of the
2 Congressional Budget Impoundment Control Act of 1974
3 (2 U.S.C. 622(3)) extended by this title.
4 (c) ROLLING SUBMISSION OF REPORTS.—The Chief
5 of Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation shall initially
6 submit the reports for each such tax expenditure enacted
7 in this subtitle (relating to business tax relief) and subtitle
8 A (relating to energy) in order of the tax expenditure in-
9 curring the least aggregate cost to the greatest aggregate
10 cost (determined by reference to the cost estimate of this
11 Act by the Joint Committee on Taxation). Thereafter,
12 such reports may be submitted in such order as the Chief
13 of Staff determines appropriate.
14 (d) CONTENTS OF REPORT.—Such reports shall con-
15 tain the following:
16 (1) An explanation of the tax expenditure and
17 any relevant economic, social, or other context under
18 which it was first enacted.
19 (2) A description of the intended purpose of the
20 tax expenditure.
21 (3) An analysis of the overall success of the tax
22 expenditure in achieving such purpose, and evidence
23 supporting such analysis.
MAT10512 S.L.C.
63
1 (4) An analysis of the extent to which further
2 extending the tax expenditure, or making it perma-
3 nent, would contribute to achieving such purpose.
4 (5) A description of the direct and indirect
5 beneficiaries of the tax expenditure, including identi-
6 fying any unintended beneficiaries.
7 (6) An analysis of whether the tax expenditure
8 is the most cost-effective method for achieving the
9 purpose for which it was intended, and a description
10 of any more cost-effective methods through which
11 such purpose could be accomplished.
12 (7) A description of any unintended effects of
13 the tax expenditure that are useful in understanding
14 the tax expenditure’s overall value.
15 (8) An analysis of how the tax expenditure
16 could be modified to better achieve its original pur-
17 pose.
18 (9) A brief description of any interactions (ac-
19 tual or potential) with other tax expenditures or di-
20 rect spending programs in the same or related budg-
21 et function worthy of further study.
22 (10) A description of any unavailable informa-
23 tion the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation
24 may need to complete a more thorough examination
MAT10512 S.L.C.
64
1 and analysis of the tax expenditure, and what must
2 be done to make such information available.
3 (e) MINIMUM ANALYSIS BY DEADLINE.—In the event
4 the Chief of Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation
5 concludes it will not be feasible to complete all reports by
6 the date specified in subsection (a), at a minimum, the
7 reports for each tax expenditure enacted in this subtitle
8 (relating to business tax relief) and subtitle A (relating
9 to energy) shall be completed by such date.

19 days of receipt of such amount (or, if later, within
20 180 days of the date of the enactment of this Act),
21 then such amount (to the extent so transferred)
22 shall be treated as a rollover contribution described
23 in section 402(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of
24 1986. A qualified airline employee making such a
25 transfer may exclude from gross income the amount
MAT10512 S.L.C.
138
1 transferred, in the taxable year in which the airline
2 payment amount was paid to the qualified airline
3 employee by the commercial passenger airline car-
4 rier.

12 a traditional IRA, in a trustee-to-trustee transfer, all
13 or any part of the contribution (together with any
14 net income allocable to such contribution), and the
15 transfer to the traditional IRA will be deemed to
16 have been made at the time of the rollover to the
17 Roth IRA, if such transfer is made within 180 days
18 of the date of the enactment of this Act. A qualified
19 airline employee making such a transfer may exclude
20 from gross income the airline payment amount pre-
21 viously rolled over to the Roth IRA, to the extent an
22 amount attributable to the previous rollover was
23 transferred to a traditional IRA, in the taxable year
24 in which the airline payment amount was paid to the
25 qualified airline employee by the commercial pas-
MAT10512 S.L.C.

4 the 5-taxable year period beginning with the taxable
5 year in which such transfer was made.
6 (3) EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE CLAIM FOR
7 REFUND.—A qualified airline employee who excludes

8 an amount from gross income in a prior taxable year

20 ment because such amount is excluded from the qualified
21 airline employee’s gross income under subsection (a).

12 ‘‘(5) RELATED PERSONS.—A person shall be
13 treated as related to another person if the relation-

211
1 ‘‘(C) ALLOCATIONS TO SERVICE PRO-
2 VIDERS’ QUALIFIED CAPITAL INTERESTS WHICH
3 ARE LESS THAN OTHER ALLOCATIONS.—Alloca-
4 tions shall not be treated as failing to meet the

8 tions made to the other qualified capital inter-
9 ests referred to in such paragraph.
10 ‘‘(3) SPECIAL RULE FOR CHANGES IN SERV-
11 ICES.—In the case of an interest in a partnership

12 which is not an investment services partnership in-
13 terest and which, by reason of a change in the serv-
14 ices with respect to assets held (directly or indi-
15 rectly) by the partnership, would (without regard to
16 the reasonable expectation exception of subsection
17 (c)(1)) have become such an interest—
18 ‘‘(A) notwithstanding subsection (c)(1),
19 such interest shall be treated as an investment
20 services partnership interest as of the time of
21 such change, and
22 ‘‘(B) for purposes of this subsection, the
23 qualified capital interest of the holder of such
24 partnership interest immediately after such

10 qualified capital interests in any upper-tier partner-
11 ship.
12 ‘‘(5) EXCEPTION FOR NO-SELF-CHARGED
13 CARRY AND MANAGEMENT FEE PROVISIONS.—Ex-
14 cept as otherwise provided by the Secretary, an in-

15 terest shall not fail to be treated as satisfying the
16 requirement of paragraph (1)(A) merely because the
17 allocations made by the partnership to such interest
18 do not reflect the cost of services described in sub-
19 section (c)(1) which are provided (directly or indi-
20 rectly) to the partnership by the holder of such in-
21 terest (or a related person).
22 ‘‘(6) SPECIAL RULE FOR DISPOSITIONS.—In the
23 case of any investment services partnership interest
24 any portion of which is a qualified capital interest,
25 subsection (b) shall not apply to so much of any
MAT10512 S.L.C.

1 gain or loss as bears the same proportion to the en-
2 tire amount of such gain or loss as—
3 ‘‘(A) the distributive share of gain or loss
4 that would have been allocated to the qualified
5 capital interest (consistent with the require-
6 ments of paragraph (1)) if the partnership had
7 sold all of its assets at fair market value imme-
8 diately before the disposition, bears to

20 money or other property contributed to the
21 partnership in exchange for such interest
22 (determined without regard to section
23 752(a)),
24 ‘‘(ii) any amounts which have been in-
25 cluded in gross income under section 83
MAT10512 S.L.C.
214
1 with respect to the transfer of such inter-
2 est, and
3 ‘‘(iii) the excess (if any) of—
4 ‘‘(I) any items of income and
5 gain taken into account under section
6 702 with respect to such interest, over
7 ‘‘(II) any items of deduction and
8 loss so taken into account.
9 ‘‘(B) ADJUSTMENT TO QUALIFIED CAPITAL
10 INTEREST.—
11 ‘‘(i) DISTRIBUTIONS AND LOSSES.—
12 The qualified capital interest shall be re-

13 duced by distributions from the partner-
14 ship with respect to such interest and by
15 the excess (if any) of the amount described
16 in subparagraph (A)(iii)(II) over the
17 amount described in subparagraph
18 (A)(iii)(I).
19 ‘‘(ii) SPECIAL RULE FOR CONTRIBU-
20 TIONS OF PROPERTY.—In the case of any

21 contribution of property described in sub-
22 paragraph (A)(i) with respect to which the
23 fair market value of such property is not
24 equal to the adjusted basis of such prop-
25 erty immediately before such contribution,
MAT10512 S.L.C.
215
1 proper adjustments shall be made to the
2 qualified capital interest to take into ac-
3 count such difference consistent with such
4 regulations or other guidance as the Sec-
5 retary may provide.

8 NOT TREATED AS QUALIFIED CAPITAL INTER-
9 EST OF SERVICE PROVIDING PARTNERS.—For
10 purposes of this subsection, an investment serv-

11 ices partnership interest shall not be treated as

13 such interest is acquired in connection with the
14 proceeds of any loan or other advance made or
15 guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by any other
16 partner or the partnership (or any person re-
17 lated to any such other partner or the partner-
18 ship). The preceding sentence shall not apply to

2 It is the sense of Congress that—

3 (1) the growing Federal debt of the United
4 States has the potential to jeopardize the national
5 security and economic stability of the United States;
6 (2) the increasing dependence of the United
7 States on foreign creditors has the potential to make
8 the United States vulnerable to undue influence by
9 certain foreign creditors in national security and
10 economic policymaking;
11 (3) the People’s Republic of China is the largest
12 foreign creditor of the United States, in terms of its
13 overall holdings of debt instruments of the United
14 States;
15 (4) the current level of transparency in the
16 scope and extent of foreign holdings of debt instru-
17 ments of the United States is inadequate and needs
18 to be improved, particularly regarding the holdings
19 of the People’s Republic of China;
20 (5) through the People’s Republic of China’s
21 large holdings of debt instruments of the United
22 States, China has become a super creditor of the
23 United States;
24 (6) under certain circumstances, the holdings of

26 tool with which China can try to manipulate the do-
MAT10512 S.L.C.

2 States, including the United States relationship with
3 Taiwan;
4 (7) under certain circumstances, if the People’s
5 Republic of China were to be displeased with a given
6 United States policy or action, China could attempt
7 to destabilize the United States economy by rapidly
8 divesting large portions of China’s holdings of debt
9 instruments of the United States; and
10 (8) the People’s Republic of China’s expansive
11 holdings of such debt instruments of the United
12 States could potentially pose a direct threat to the
13 United States economy and to United States na-
14 tional security. This potential threat is a significant

MAT10512 S.L.C.
402
1 ments under the terms of the existing mortgage loan. The

3 retary of Housing and Urban Development, shall issue
4 rules to carry out this section not later than 90 days after

7 ‘‘FHA Program Adjustments to Support Refinancings for

13 fault on their primary mortgage at the time of refinance
