26 USC Section 597 of the Internal
Revenue Code provides that the income tax treatment of any
transaction in which Federal financial assistance (FFA), is
provided with respect to a bank or domestic building and loan
association (Institution) will be determined under regulations
prescribed by the Secretary. The regulations provide that,
generally, FFA is included in the gross income of the recipient in
the year it is received. However, in certain circumstances, the
inclusion of FFA in income is deferred. The collection of
information required by the regulations is necessary to track
deferred income and its subsequent recapture, to track any amounts
of tax that are not subject to collection, to elect to disaffiliate
earlier than would otherwise be permitted, and to elect to apply
the provisions of the regulations retroactively.
