    (d) Except as provided elsewhere in this paragraph (d), Sec. 
1.475(b)-1 (concerning the scope of exemptions from the mark-to-market 
requirement) applies to taxable years ending on or after December 31,

    (1) Section 1.475(b)-1(b) applies as follows:
    (i) Section 1.475(b)-1(b)(1)(i) (concerning equity interests issued 
by a related person) applies beginning June 19, 1996. If, on June 18, 
1996, a security is subject to mark-to-market accounting and, on June 
19, 1996, Sec. 1.475(b)-1(b)(1) begins to apply to the security solely 
because of the effective dates in this paragraph (d) (rather than 
because of a change in facts), then the rules of Sec. 1.475(b)-
1(b)(4)(i)(A) (concerning the prohibition against marking) apply, but 
Sec. 1.475(b)-1(b)(4)(i)(B) (imposing a mark-to-market on the day 
before the onset of the prohibition) does not apply.
    (ii) Section 1.475(b)-1(b)(2) (concerning relevant relationships for 
purposes of determining whether equity interests in related persons are 
prohibited from being marked to market) applies beginning June 19, 1996.
    (iii) Section 1.475(b)-1(b)(3) (concerning certain actively traded 
securities) applies beginning June 19, 1996, to securities held on or 
after that date, except for securities described in Sec. 1.475(b)-
1(e)(1)(i) (concerning equity interests issued by controlled entities). 
If a security is described in Sec. 1.475(b)-1(e)(1)(i), Sec. 1.475(b)-
1(b)(3) applies only on or after January 23, 1997 if the security is 
held on or after that date. If Sec. 1.475(b)-1(b)(1) ceases to apply to 
a security by virtue of the operation of this paragraph (d)(1)(iii), the 
rules of Sec. 1.475(b)-1(b)(4)(ii) apply to the cessation.
    (iv) Except to the extent provided in paragraph (d)(1) of this 
section, Sec. 1.475(b)-1(b)(4) (concerning changes in status) applies 
beginning June 19, 1996.
