an official website of the united states government here's how you know official websites use .gov a .gov website belongs to an official government organization in the united states. secure .gov websites use https a lock () or https:// means you’ve safely connected to the .gov website. share sensitive information only on official, secure websites. latest earthquakes | chat share social media a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck north of anchorage, alaska, on november 30, 2018, at 8:29 a.m. local time (17:29:28 utc). for the most up to date information, please visit the usgs event page, and for estimates of casualties and damage, visit the usgs prompt assessment of global earthquakes for response (pager) website. u.s. geological survey scientists continue to investigate the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that rocked south central alaska on friday, now being referred to as the "2018 anchorage earthquake." a team of earthquake and landslide geologists from multiple usgs science centers is mobilizing to conduct field reconnaissance in anchorage in the aftermath of this most recent event, and they are coordinating their activities with state and university colleagues. another team will be collecting structural monitoring data from buildings and deploy a temporary network to study basin effects. the usgs is working closely with alaskan state scientists and emergency managers. right now, aftershocks are at the forefront of discussion. usgs scientists know that there will be more aftershocks and some will be larger than others, but the aftershocks will decrease in frequency over time. as of december 3rd, 15:00 utc, 170 aftershocks of magnitude 3 or above have occurred since the mainshock, including a magnitude 5.7 aftershock at 17:35 utc on november 30th, just 7 minutes after the magnitude 7.0 mainshock. usgs and other scientists cannot predict the exact time, location and magnitude of any specific earthquake. this earthquake occurred in the alaska aleutian subduction zone, on a fault within the subducting pacific slab rather than on the shallower boundary between the pacific and north american plates. the earthquake was not related to movement of a fault near the earth’s surface. this earthquake is perhaps most similar in setting to the magnitude 6.8, 2001 nisqually earthquake, which occurred near seattle, and caused between 1 and 4 billion dollars in damages. "even as we recover from the impact this event had on our families, friends and neighbors, usgs is leading post earthquake surveys and investigations,” said aimee devaris, usgs regional director for alaska. “this research will allow us to build on our scientific understanding of earthquake hazards and how best to plan for, respond to and recover from large earthquakes." since the 1964 alaskan earthquake, a magnitude 9.2, alaska has had 144 earthquakes above magnitude 6. what will happen next? according to our forecast updated on december 3d, 2018, over the next week there is a 3 percent chance of one or more earthquakes that are larger than magnitude 7.0. it is likely that there will be many smaller earthquakes over the next week, with 47 to 110 magnitude 3 or higher aftershocks expected. magnitude 3 and above are large enough to be felt. the number of aftershocks will drop off over time, but a large aftershock can temporarily increase the numbers again. the most current forecast can be found on the 2018 anchorage earthquake aftershock forecast page, along with other information about this earthquake. liquefaction and landslides large earthquakes can create many hazards such as liquefaction and landslides. the usgs has added near real time estimates of such ground failures for this earthquake event. this is the first major earthquake in the united states for which this product is available. the models indicate that liquefaction and landsliding have likely occurred and may be responsible for damage to infrastructure, with liquefaction potentially being the larger issue. while these models are relatively simple, initial reports support these conclusions. dramatic examples of ground failure have occurred in previous earthquakes in alaska, such as the 1964 magnitude 9.2 great alaskan earthquake, and the 2002 magnitude 7.9 denali earthquake. the shaking intensity of this event is smaller than in those historical events. so although usgs scientists expect ground failure to contribute significantly to the impact of this earthquake, the occurrence of ground failure will not be as severe or extensive as in those events. liquefaction models suggest potential impacts in localized areas throughout anchorage and in the matanuska valley. liquefaction hazard is also high in low lying areas of wet sediments elsewhere, though the human population is sparse. still, ground failure in these areas could cause infrastructure impacts. cracks may form in the ground and the ground may move horizontally, known as lateral spreading. this is possible in areas susceptible to liquefaction that are sloped or near cut banks of waterways. models suggest landslides likely occurred throughout the western part of the chugach mountains. coastal bluffs and other steep areas and manmade fill could also be affected. ground failures are unlikely to recur after the mainshock, but aftershocks greater than about magnitude 6 could reactivate existing failures or cause new failures in ground that was weakened by the mainshock. more information if you felt this earthquake, report your experience on the “usgs did you feel it?” website for this event. for information about tsunami watches, warnings or advisories, visit the national oceanic and atmospheric administration (noaa) tsunami website. the usgs operates a 24/7 national earthquake information center in colorado that can be reached for more information at 303 273 8500. learn more about the usgs earthquake hazards program. the alaska earthquake center (aec) at the university of alaska fairbanks is a regional seismic network that participates in the usgs advanced national seismic system. aec contributes seismic monitoring data and conducts analyses that are used in characterizing the 2018 anchorage earthquake and its aftershocks. these items are in the rss feed format (really simple syndication) based on categories such as topics, locations, and more. you can install and rss reader browser extension, software, or use a third party service to receive immediate news updates depending on the feed that you have added. if you click the feed links below, they may look strange because they are simply xml code. an rss reader can easily read this code and push out a notification to you when something new is posted to our site. alaska news featured story news natural hazards news united states of america news 12201 sunrise valley drive reston, va 20192 united states

proclamations issued on: december 1, 2018 it is my sorrowful duty to announce officially the death of george herbert walker bush, the forty first president of the united states, on november 30, 2018. president bush led a great american life, one that combined and personified two of our nation’s greatest virtues: an entrepreneurial spirit and a commitment to public service. our country will greatly miss his inspiring example. on the day he turned 18, 6 months after the attack on pearl harbor, george h.w. bush volunteered for combat duty in the second world war. the youngest aviator in united states naval history at the time, he flew 58 combat missions, including one in which, after taking enemy fire, he parachuted from his burning plane into the pacific ocean. after the war, he returned home and started a business. in his words, “the big thing” he learned from this endeavor was “the satisfaction of creating jobs.” the same unselfish spirit that motivated his business pursuits later inspired him to resume the public service he began as a young man. first, as a member of congress, then as ambassador to the united nations, chief of the united states liaison office in china, director of central intelligence, vice president, and finally president of the united states, george h.w. bush guided our nation through the cold war, to its peaceful and victorious end, and into the decades of prosperity that have followed. through sound judgment, practical wisdom, and steady leadership, president bush made safer the second half of a tumultuous and dangerous century. even with all he accomplished in service to our nation, president bush remained humble. he never believed that government   even when under his own leadership   could be the source of our nation’s strength or its greatness. america, he rightly told us, is illuminated by “a thousand points of light,” “ethnic, religious, social, business, labor union, neighborhood, regional and other organizations, all of them varied, voluntary and unique” in which americans serve americans to build and maintain the greatest nation on the face of the earth. president bush recognized that these communities of people are the true source of america’s strength and vitality. it is with great sadness that we mark the passing of one of america’s greatest points of light, the death of president george h.w. bush. now, therefore, i, donald j. trump, president of the united states of america, by the authority vested in me by the constitution and the laws of the united states, in honor and tribute to the memory of president george h.w. bush, and as an expression of public sorrow, do hereby direct that the flag of the united states be displayed at half staff at the white house and on all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the federal government in the district of columbia and throughout the united states and its territories and possessions for a period of 30 days from the day of his death. i also direct that, for the same length of time, the representatives of the united states in foreign countries shall make similar arrangements for the display of the flag at half staff over their embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations. i hereby order that suitable honors be rendered by units of the armed forces under orders of the secretary of defense. i do further appoint december 5, 2018, as a national day of mourning throughout the united states. i call on the american people to assemble on that day in their respective places of worship, there to pay homage to the memory of president george h.w. bush. i invite the people of the world who share our grief to join us in this solemn observance. in witness whereof, i have hereunto set my hand this first day of december, in the year of our lord two thousand eighteen, and of the independence of the united states of america the two hundred and forty third. donald j. trump

subscribe & save less than $3 per week michael cohen pleads guilty to lying to congress about trump's russia ties, trump cancels talks with putin over ukraine, and more michael cohen, president trump's former lawyer, pleaded guilty thursday to lying to congress about negotiations to build a trump tower in moscow. cohen told the senate intelligence committee the discussions ended in january 2016, but now admits they continued until that june, well into trump's 2016 presidential campaign. cohen said he updated trump and his family members several times. buzzfeed news reported that the trump organization wanted to give russian president vladimir putin a $50 million penthouse in the tower. trump said cohen, who has cooperated with special counsel robert mueller's team since pleading guilty to financial crimes in august, was "making up a story" now to "get a reduced sentence." trump also called the mueller investigation "an illegal hoax that should be ended immediately." the new york times buzzfeed news president trump announced on twitter thursday that he had canceled a meeting with russian president vladimir putin that was scheduled to take place at the g 20 summit on saturday, citing russia's seizure of three ukrainian naval vessels. "based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to ukraine from russia, i have decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously scheduled meeting," trump tweeted ahead of his thursday arrival in argentina for the summit. trump had suggested on tuesday that he might call off the meeting because of this incident, saying "maybe i won't even have the meeting" because "i don't like that aggression." earlier thursday russia had said the meeting was confirmed with the white house. escape your echo chamber. get the facts behind the news, plus analysis

two day group of 20 summit. the leaders, including president trump, will discuss infrastructure, investment, and other critical issues. the talks could be overshadowed by events on the sidelines, particularly trump's meeting with chinese president xi jinping on the u.s. china trade war. the u.s., canada, and mexico planned to sign their new trade pact on friday, putting it a step closer to ratification. the conflict over ukraine also looms over the meeting, and saudi arabia's crown prince, mohammed bin salman, is making his first big overseas appearance since the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. intelligence agencies suspect the crown prince ordered the killing, which saudi arabia denies. the associated press house and senate negotiators on thursday reached a deal on a compromise farm bill that drops plans pushed by house republicans and president trump that would have added new work requirements on food stamp beneficiaries. sen. pat roberts (r kansas), chair of the senate agriculture committee, confirmed that the deal ditched the new work requirements, which would have applied to older food stamp recipients and parents of children age 6 and up. roberts said he hoped for a vote next week on the compromise $400 billion farm bill, which allocates federal money for farm subsidies, food stamps, and conservation programs. the washington post politico sen. tim scott (r s.c.) said thursday that he would vote against president trump's nomination of thomas farr to be a district court judge, joining fellow republican sen. jeff flake of arizona in opposition and effectively killing the nomination. scott said in a statement that he had "lingering concerns" about farr's "decision making process," an apparent reference to farr's alleged support of late sen. jesse helms' campaigns to intimidate black voters. flake has vowed to vote against all judicial nominees until the senate passes legislation to protect special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation. the senate judiciary committee canceled a thursday hearing on judicial nominees due to flake's opposition. politico facebook coo sheryl sandberg asked communications staffers to investigate billionaire liberal activist george soros after he criticized facebook in a january speech, the new york times reported thursday, citing three people with knowledge of the request. soros called facebook and google a "menace" to society, and said they should be regulated. sandberg reportedly asked her staff to look into why soros had lambasted the company and whether doing so benefited him financially. at the time, facebook was under scrutiny for its role in spreading russian propaganda during the 2016 election. not long after sandberg made her request, facebook was accused of helping push anti semitic attacks against soros. the new york times the life expectancy for americans dropped again last year, a record number of americans died, and the suicide rate hit a 50 year high, the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) said in a series of reports thursday. public health experts can't point to any one factor for the 70,000 more deaths in 2017   for a record 2.8 million deaths total   but the rise in suicide and drug overdose deaths, plus an uptick in fatal flu and pneumonia cases, helped explain the grim news. the drop in life expectancy   children born in 2017 were expected to live to 78.6, down from 78.7 years in 2016   combined with similar annual declines since 2014, put the u.s. in the longest slide in life expectancy since 1915 1918. the washington post canada's statistical agency reported thursday that hate crimes in the country increased 47 percent in 2017. crimes against muslims accounted for the biggest increase, with a rise to 349 crimes from 139 the previous year. crimes against black people rose to 321 from 214, and those against jewish people increased to 360 from 221, statistics canada reported. the spike mirrored an increase in hate crimes for three straight years in the u.s., according to fbi figures. some minority and anti hate activists said some of the rising violence in canada stemmed from hateful rhetoric in the u.s. "we were shocked by the numbers   and, at the same time, we weren't," said ihsaan gardee, executive director of the national council of canadian muslims. "this increase didn't occur in a vacuum." reuters search teams on thursday completed their work checking for human remains in parts of northern california devastated by the camp fire, the deadliest blaze in the state's history. the death toll from the fire, which started nov. 8 and destroyed 13,696 homes and about 4,000 other structures, stood at 88, although nearly 200 people were still listed as missing. sheriff kory honea of butte county, who led the search, said he was "very optimistic" that the people still unaccounted for would be found alive. "given the due diligence that was done with regard to the search for human remains in the affected area, i am very hopeful that we won't see any kind of increase," he said. the new york times the new york film critics circle on thursday named alfonso cuarón's roma, a netflix original film, the best movie of 2018. cuarón also took home the awards for best director and best cinematography. these winners are determined by new york based film critics, and their choices each year are often aligned with the eventual academy award nominations. meanwhile, first reformed's ethan hawke won best actor and writer paul schrader won best screenplay. regina hall surprised by winning best actress for her work in support the girls, while richard e. grant was awarded best supporting actor for can you ever forgive me?, and regina king took best supporting actress for if beale street could talk. deadline a free daily email with the biggest news stories of the day   and the best features from theweek.com harold maass is a contributing editor at the week. he has been writing for the week since the 2001 debut of the u.s. print edition and served as editor of theweek.com when it launched in 2008. harold started his career as a newspaper reporter in south florida and haiti. he has previously worked for a variety of news outlets, including the miami herald, abc news and fox news, and for several years wrote a daily roundup of financial news for the week and yahoo finance. cartoons artists take on self evident truths, recent history, and more by the week us published 8 february 25 the week recommends classic roman dish is 'slurpy, fun and absolutely heavenly' by the week uk published 8 february 25 the explainer undercover police targeting activist groups conducted intrusive surveillance, with some even embarking on relationships under assumed identities by the week uk published 8 february 25 daily briefing trump closes in on nomination with new hampshire win over haley, 'oppenheimer' leads the 2024 oscar nominations, and more by harold maass, the week us published 24 january 24 daily briefing haley makes last stand in new hampshire as trump extends polling lead, justices side with us over texas in border fight, and more by harold maass, the week us published 23 january 24 daily briefing desantis ends his presidential campaign and endorses trump, the us and arab allies push plan to end gaza war, and more by harold maass, the week us published 22 january 24 daily briefing palestinian death toll reportedly passes 25,000, top biden adviser to travel to egypt and qatar for hostage talks, and more by justin klawans, the week us published 21 january 24 daily briefing grand jury reportedly convened to investigate uvalde shooting response, families protest outside netanyahu's house as pressure mounts for hostage deal, and more by justin klawans, the week us published 20 january 24 daily briefing congress averts a government shutdown, doj report cites failures in police response to texas school shooting, and more by harold maass, the week us published 19 january 24 daily briefing judge threatens to remove trump from his defamation trial, medicine for hostages and palestinians reach gaza, and more by harold maass, the week us published 18 january 24 daily briefing the us strikes houthi targets in yemen a third time, trump's second sex defamation trial begins, and more by harold maass, the week us published 17 january 24 theweek is part of future us inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. visit our corporate site. © future us, inc. full 7th floor, 130 west 42nd street, new york, ny 10036.

as a mom, i know i'm not supposed to have a favorite child, but i'm quite fond of this puzzle. i think all ten 10 , 11  and 12 letter entries are solid, and nine of them make their new york times crossword debut today. i especially like hold my beer and save the date. admittedly syns and ary are terrible, but even the happiest of families have a few black sheep, right? more and more, i'm noticing that a single entry/clue pair in a themeless can make the entire puzzle stand out in my eyes. i hit [employer of some shepherds] and was thinking farms, fields, or maybe watchdogs, as in government orgs watching over the safety of the public. great a ha to figure out it meant german shepherds, in a canine unit! that's beautiful. looking back upon robyn's puzzles, i remembered that i had similar reactions to clown cars, ron weasley, tractor beam, miracle max, smarty pants. robyn sure does know how to pick ‘em! i didn't get the same sheer joy today as i've gotten from some of robyn's other ones, though. not nearly as playful today, with nanny state and hold my beer (which appears to be a meme going around ... something said before a fight?). seems like robyn toned it down a bit. some of the other long answers didn't resonate with me, either. i love the beatles, but i didn't know "something" was on abbey road. seemed like there were more fun or playful ways of cluing this great album, one of the beatles' last. i've been able to overlook some crossword glue in previous puzzles, but my lack of elation made it harder today to turn a blind eye to ary. it is a short bit, taking up only three squares. but yikes, is it ugly. a suffix for secret, making secret ary? oof, that's terrible. in some ways, it's unfair for me to voice these gripes, which likely would have seemed minor if it had been some other constructor. it was still a fun solving experience, but i've come to expect tremendous things from a weintraub themeless. not entirely sure if that's a fair way to look at things, but it is what it is. answer summary:8 unique to this puzzle, 1 debuted here and reused later, 1 unique to modern era but used previously. there are 15 rows and 15 columns, with 0 rebus squares, and 2 cheater squares (marked with "+" in the colorized grid below.) the grid uses 22 of 26 letters, missing jkqx. it has normal rotational symmetry. average word length: 5.51, scrabble score: 299, scrabble average: 1.55. puzzle has 5 fill in the blank clues and 0 cross reference clues. this puzzle has 8 unique answer words. it has 1 word that debuted in this puzzle and was later reused: these words are unique to the modern era but have appeared in pre shortz puzzles: these 28 answer words are not legal scrabble™ entries, which sometimes means they are interesting: various thumbnail views are shown: crosswords that share the most words with this one (excluding sundays): unusual or long words that appear elsewhere: other puzzles with the same block pattern as this one: other crosswords with exactly 32 blocks, 70 words, 79 open squares, and an average word length of 5.51: the next two sections attempt to show how fresh the grid entries are. in this view, unusual answers are colored depending on how often they have appeared in other puzzles. unique answers are in red, red overwrites orange which overwrites yellow, etc. cheater squares are indicated with a + sign. freshness factor is a calculation that compares the number of times words in this puzzle have appeared in other modern era puzzles. click here for an explanation. the chart below shows how many times each word has been used across all nyt puzzles, old and modern including variety. found bugs or have suggestions? please let us know. like this puzzle? please share this page on social media to help spread the word about xword info. thanks!

profile sections local tv featured more from nbc follow nbc news news alerts there are no new alerts at this time michelle obama's memoir "becoming" could become the biggest selling autobiography ever, its german publisher said, expressing optimism that husband barack's forthcoming account of his two terms as president will also be a hit. the former first lady's recollections, for which she received a reported advance of more than $60 million from bertelsmann's penguin random house division, has sold 10 million copies since it came out in november. "that makes it our most notable creative success of last year," bertelsmann ceo thomas rabe told a news conference, reporting a 2.8 percent gain in annual revenue at the 183 year old publisher. barack obama has also signed with penguin random house to publish his white house memoir. bertelsmann hopes it will be published this year although no firm date has yet been set. still, penguin random house   one of bertelsmann's eight divisions   reported only a 1.3 percent rise in revenue last year as bestsellers and increased audio book sales helped to offset a broader drift away from print by readers. bertelsmann's interests also span television, music and magazine publishing, exposing it to disruption from silicon valley tech giants including apple, which unveiled new subscription tv and news aggregation services on monday. rabe, calling apple tv+ "just another streaming platform," said bertelsmann's tv arm rtl group would stick to its plan to ramp up video on demand services, betting on local content to attract viewers in its european markets. asked whether bertelsmann would make available its magazine titles via apple news+, a $10 a month subscription service, rabe said: "if this kiosk achieves scale, and the conditions are right, i don't see why we shouldn't take a look." © 2025 nbcuniversal media, llc

u.s. government accountability office in response to a letter from senator orrin hatch, chairman of the senate committee on finance, regarding irs revenue procedure 2018 38, gao issued this opinion. at issue here was the protection of congress's review and oversight authorities when an agency has submitted a rule to congress pursuant to the congressional review act (cra). on july 26, 2018, irs submitted the revenue procedure to congress pursuant to cra. the purpose of cra is to strengthen congressional oversight of agency rulemaking. we concluded that in these circumstances, because irs submitted the revenue procedure as a rule, congress is able to fully exercise its review and oversight authorities under cra. we, therefore, take no position on whether the revenue procedure is a rule otherwise. b 330376 november 30, 2018 the honorable orrin hatch chairman committee on finance united states senate subject: internal revenue service: applicability of the congressional review act to revenue procedure 2018 38 this responds to your request for our legal opinion on whether revenue procedure 2018 38, returns by exempt organizations and returns by certain non exempt organizations, issued by the internal revenue service (irs), is a rule for purposes of the congressional review act (cra). irs submitted the revenue procedure to gao on july 24, 2018, and to both houses of congress on july 26, 2018. at issue here is the protection of congress’s review and oversight authorities when an agency has submitted a rule to congress pursuant to cra and the rule has been transmitted to the committees of jurisdiction. the purpose of cra is to strengthen congressional oversight of agency rulemaking. we conclude that in these circumstances, because irs submitted the revenue procedure as a rule, congress is able to fully exercise its review and oversight authorities under cra. we, therefore, take no position on whether the revenue procedure is a rule otherwise. background on july 16, 2018, irs announced revenue procedure 2018 38, which modifies the information certain tax exempt entities are required to report to irs on their annual returns. cra requires that before a rule can take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit to both houses of congress and gao a report containing a copy of the rule, a concise general statement of the rule, including whether it is a major rule, and the proposed effective date of the rule. 5 u.s.c. § 801(a)(1)(a). pursuant to that requirement, irs submitted the revenue procedure to gao on july 24, 2018, and to both houses of congress on july 26, 2018. 164 cong. rec. h7734 (july 31, 2018); 164 cong. rec. s5453 (july 30, 2018). upon receipt of the rule, the senate and house parliamentarians transmitted it to the committees of jurisdiction, the senate committee on finance and the house committee on ways and means, respectively. irs’s submission of the revenue procedure triggered several cra statutory provisions. under cra, any joint resolution disapproving of the revenue procedure must be introduced within 60 days of the july 26, 2018 submission. 5 u.s.c. § 802(a). further, in the senate, if the committee to which a joint resolution has been referred has not reported on the resolution within 20 calendar days of the agency’s submission, the committee may be discharged from further consideration of the joint resolution upon a petition of 30 members of the senate after which the joint resolution is to be placed on the senate calendar. 5 u.s.c. § 802(c). however, this rule and other rules limiting debate in the senate only apply during the 60 session days following submission. 5 u.s.c. § 802(e)(1). in the case of revenue procedure 2018 38, a joint resolution of disapproval was introduced on september 24, 2018, and placed on the senate calendar on october 12, 2018. we received your request concerning revenue procedure 2018 38 on september 7, 2018. letter from chairman, senate committee on finance, to comptroller general (sept. 7, 2018). our practice when rendering opinions is to contact the relevant agencies and obtain their legal views on the subject of the request. gao, procedures and practices for legal decisions and opinions, gao‑06 1064sp (washington, d.c.: sept. 2006), available at www.gao.gov/products/gao 06 1064sp. we contacted the acting chief counsel of irs to obtain the agency’s views. letter from managing associate general counsel, gao, to acting chief counsel, irs (sept. 18, 2018). we received a response on october 9, 2018. letter from acting chief counsel, irs, to managing associate general counsel, gao (oct. 9, 2018) (irs letter). discussion prior gao opinions related to the cra only have concerned agency actions that had not been submitted to congress. in those cases where the agency action was a rule, cra’s purpose of providing congress with an opportunity for review before a rule can take effect was frustrated by the agency’s failure to submit the rule. agency submission of a rule is the triggering event for congress’s review and oversight powers under cra. 5 u.s.c. §§ 802(a), (c), (e). failure to submit a rule could have deprived congress of the ability to exercise these powers. however, congress has opted to treat the receipt of a gao opinion concluding that an agency action is a rule as triggering the statutory provisions that otherwise would have been triggered by the agency’s submission. thus, congress has used gao opinions to cure the impediment created by the agency’s failure to submit the rule, protecting its review and oversight authorities. by requiring that agencies submit all actions that meet the cra’s definition of a rule to congress before they can take effect, cra gives agencies the primary responsibility for determining which agency actions meet cra’s definition of a rule. 5 u.s.c. §§ 801(a)(1)(a), 804(3). in this case, irs submitted the revenue procedure to congress as a rule pursuant to cra. irs’s submission triggered congress’s review and oversight powers under cra, starting with the transmittal of the rule to the committees of jurisdiction. when an agency submits a rule under cra, as irs did here, congress suffers no deprivation. there is no impediment to congress’s exercise of those powers that could be cured by an opinion from gao. the purpose that a gao opinion might serve otherwise was superseded by irs’s submission of the revenue procedure as a rule under cra. in its response to our office, irs stated that it believes revenue procedure 2018 38 is exempt from the cra but that it generally submits revenue procedures to congress pursuant to cra “out of an abundance of caution” to (1) allow congress to decide whether it is a rule by consulting gao and (2) protect irs in case something it thinks is not a rule is later determined to be a rule. irs letter, at 1. however, as the court of appeals for the second circuit held in nrdc v. abraham, agencies “cannot have it both ways.” 355 f.3d 179, 205 (2d cir. 2004). in that case, the court addressed a department of energy position that the rule in question was a substantive rule for purposes of one issue in contention and a procedural rule when analyzing whether the notice and comment requirements of the administrative procedure act (apa) applied. id. the court held that the agency could not benefit from simultaneously arguing that the rule in question was both substantive and procedural. id. similarly, irs here cannot claim both the benefit of protection from the consequences of failure to submit a rule while also shielding the rule from congressional review and oversight under cra by arguing that it should not have submitted the rule in the first place. further, the description of irs policy as described in the irs letter is inconsistent with irs policy as set forth in the internal revenue manual (irm) and irs’s observed practice. irm states that irs determines whether each revenue procedure it issues is or is not a rule under cra on a case by case basis and documents that determination in the legal file. irm § 32.2.8.2(5). consistent with irm, the congressional record shows that irs submits some revenue procedures to congress pursuant to cra, but not all. of the over 50 revenue procedures issued by irs between january and october of 2018, 13, or approximately 25 percent, were not submitted to congress. irs’s policy and practice are inconsistent with its position that it submits all revenue procedures to congress pursuant to cra. conclusion for the forgoing reasons, we conclude that irs’s submission of revenue procedure 2018‑38 to congress pursuant to cra obviates the need for a gao opinion. in these circumstances, unlike when an agency has failed to submit a rule, an opinion by gao would not further the purposes of cra by protecting congress’s cra review and oversight authorities. as congress is not deprived of exercising its powers under cra, there is no impediment to those powers that a gao opinion might cure. we, therefore, take no position on whether the revenue procedure is a rule otherwise. if you have any questions about this opinion, please contact julie matta, managing associate general counsel at (202) 512 4023 or shirley jones, assistant general counsel at (202) 512 8156. sincerely, thomas h. armstrong general counsel stay informed as we add new reports & testimonies.
