                                        -45-                                          
               We note that, if the revocation, which occurred years after            
          the last of the years in issue, had been made prospective only,             
          then the revocation would have been little more than a                      
          meaningless act.                                                            
               We conclude that (1) the retroactivity of the revocation is            
          not an abuse of discretion when tested by section 7805(b), and              
          (2) the retroactivity is not an abuse of discretion when tested             
          by section 601.201(n)(6), Statement of Procedural Rules.  See               
          Capitol Federal Savings & Loan v. Commissioner, 96 T.C. at 217-             
          219, 223.                                                                   
               We hold for respondent on this issue.  To take into account            
          the foregoing and petitioner’s concession noted supra in note 1.            


                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             for respondent.
