          A.  The Plastics Recycling Transaction                                      
               This case is part of the Plastics Recycling group of cases.            
          The issues in this group of cases center about a circular                   
          multistep transaction involving the sale and lease of machines              
          designed to recycle plastic scrap.  The additions to tax arise              
          from the disallowance of losses, investment credits, and energy             
          credits petitioners claimed with respect to a New York limited              
          partnership called SAB Foam Recycling Associates (SAB Foam).
