                           SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM OPINION                            

               HAINES, Judge:  On April 12, 2006, pursuant to Rule 161,               
          respondent filed a motion for reconsideration of this Court’s               
          Memorandum Findings of Fact and Opinion in Anschutz Co. & Subs.             
          v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2006-40 (Anschutz I).1                          
               In his motion, respondent alleges that this Court erred “by            
          failing to address whether Qwest’s Common Indirect Costs directly           
          benefited its section 263A retained assets, and * * * by not                
          requiring those costs be allocated to Qwest’s section 263A                  
          retained assets.”  This Supplemental Memorandum Opinion addresses           
          respondent’s allegations of error.                                          
                                     Background                                       
               We adopt the findings of fact in our prior Memorandum

          clarity, we repeat below the facts necessary for the disposition            
          of this motion.
