REV. RUL. 99-18

In Rev. Rul. 90-60, 1990-2 C.B. 3, the Internal Revenue Service
provided guidance to taxpayers concerning the general methodology used by
the Treasury Department in computing the bond factor amounts used in
calculating the amount of bond considered satisfactory by the Secretary
under section 42(j)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code. It further announced
that the Secretary would publish in the Internal Revenue Bulletin a table
of "bond factor" amounts for dispositions occurring during each calendar
month.

This revenue ruling provides in Table 1 the bond factor amounts for
calculating the amount of bond considered satisfactory under section
42(j)(6) for dispositions of qualified low-income buildings or interests
therein during the period January through March 1999.
