At the end of the Final regs, there is some mention of the publication date being October 15, 2009. I would wait until that day or after, and then GOOGLE for the Federal Register. Then check it out every day beginning October 15th. When you are in the daily Federal Register, scroll down to the IRS heading and you should find these regs. Whether it is on the 15th or some later date we cannot know for sure.
In the Federal Register publication, the regs are in 3 column format and this will shave hundreds of pages off these regs. Of course, the print is small and arguably harder to read. But I prefer the fewer pages.
Pick your poison I guess.
thanks Zimbo !!
