AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Final regulations.

SUMMARY: This document contains final regulations implementing changes to the accuracy-related penalty under section 6662 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that were made by section 13251 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA 1993) and Title VII of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, implementing the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (the GATT Act).
