The regulations provide guidance to individuals, partnerships, and corporations that make charitable contributions, and will affect any donor claiming a deduction for a charitable contribution after the date these regulations are published as final regulations in the Federal Register. DATES: Written or electronic comments and requests for a public hearing must be received by November 5, 2008.
