<body>
<p>The regulations propose to amend existing regulations under section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code regarding the definition of investment-type property covered by arbitrage restrictions to provide an exception for investments in capital projects that are used in furtherance of the public purposes of the bonds. The proposed regulations affect State and local governmental issuers of tax-exempt bonds and tax-advantaged bonds and potential investors in capital projects financed with these bonds.</p>
