          transaction.  Skeen v. Commissioner, 864 F.2d 93 (9th Cir. 1989);           
          sec. 6621(c)(3)(A)(v).  When section 6621(c) applies, the annual            
          rate of interest payable on the tax-motivated substantial                   
          underpayment is increased to 120 percent of the underpayment rate           
          under section 6621(b).                                                      
               We find that petitioners’ underpayments were not                       
          attributable to tax-motivated transactions.  We hold the same.              
          *    *         *      *         *         *        *                        
               We have considered all arguments made by the parties and, to           
          the extent not discussed above, find them to be without merit.              
          To reflect the foregoing,                                                   
                                                  Decisions will be entered           
                                             for respondent for the                   
                                             deficiencies, the additions to           
                                             tax under sec. 6661, and, with           
                                             respect to N. LaRae Sparrow,             
                                             the additions to tax under               
                                             sec. 6651(a)(1), and for                 
                                             petitioners for the increased            
                                             interest under sec. 6621(c),             
                                             and, with respect to Robert D.           
                                             Sparrow, the additions to tax            
                                             under sec. 6653(b).
