                                        - 8 -                                         
          Trust’s income for 199210 constitute exempt function income, as             
          defined in section 512(a)(3)(B), and that such amounts of income            
          are excluded from the calculation of its UBTI under section                 
          512(a)(3)(A).  It is respondent’s position that, because of the             
          limitation prescribed by section 512(a)(3)(E)(i), the amounts of            
          investment income that the Trust reported as unrelated business             
          income in Forms 990-T for the years at issue are not excluded               
          from the calculation of the Trust’s UBTI.11  Petitioner bears the           


               9(...continued)                                                        
          unrelated business income in its Form 990-T for 1991.  We find              
          that petitioner has failed to show that such remaining amount of            
          investment income for 1991 (1) constitutes exempt function                  
          income, as defined in sec. 512(a)(3)(B), or (2) otherwise is not            
          subject to the tax on UBTI imposed by sec. 511(a).                          
               10On brief, the Trustee acknowledges that for 1992 not only            
          its investment income but also certain of its other income was              
          set aside, and subsequently expended, for $1,853,529 of reason-             
          able costs of administration directly connected with providing              
          for the payment of health care benefits.  The Trustee further               
          acknowledges that it reported in Form 990-T for 1992 only                   
          $1,155,793 of its investment income for that year as unrelated              
          business income.  Respondent made no determination in the notice            
          that the Trust’s remaining investment income for 1992 (i.e.,                
          $405,095), which the Trust did not treat as unrelated business              
          income in Form 990 and Form 990-T for that year, should be                  
          included in calculating the Trust’s UBTI for that year.  We                 
          conclude that the only amount of the Trust’s income for 1992 that           
          is at issue in this case is $1,155,793 of investment income that            
          the Trust reported as unrelated business income in Form 990 and             
          Form 990-T for that year.  Our references hereinafter to the                
          amount at issue for 1992 shall be to the correct amount at issue            
          for 1992, and not to the amount (i.e., $1,853,529) that the                 
          Trustee claims on brief is at issue for that year.                          
               11Respondent also advances arguments on brief as to why                
          respondent’s determinations in the notice should be sustained.              
          However, as noted above, the Trustee no longer contests those               
                                                             (continued...)
