                                        - 9 -                                         
          (2) even if section 6501 is applicable, the section 6501 period             
          had expired by the time the FPAA was issued because petitioner              
          had adequately disclosed all of its gross income for the year of            
          the transfer (and, thus, avoided the 6-year period provided for             
          in section 6501(e)(1)(A) in the case of a substantial omission of           
          income), and (3) even if section 6501(e)(1)(A) is applicable and            
          the section 6501(e)(1)(A) period did not expire before the FPAA             
          was issued, the issuance of the FPAA did not suspend the running            
          of the section 6501(e)(1)(A) 6-year period of limitations, which            
          has since expired.                                                          
                    3.  Respondent’s Claims                                           
               Respondent argues that, if his adjustments are sustained, a            
          substantial gain will be recognized to petitioner on account of             
          the transfer.  Respondent claims that petitioner’s omission of              
          that gain from its corporate return constitutes a substantial               
          omission of income, which was not adequately disclosed by                   
          petitioner, with the consequence that the section 6501 period of            
          limitations for the assessment of any tax with respect to                   
          petitioner is 6 years rather than 3 years.  Respondent                      
          acknowledges that section 6225(a) imposes a bar on the assessment           
          of any deficiency attributable to any partnership item until the            
          completion of the partnership-level proceedings.  Respondent

          item.  See sec. 6230(a)(1).
