When President Trump issued Executive Order 13789 in 2017, which began the process that ended Treasury's 34-year claim that its tax rules weren't subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, tax practitioners and taxpayers were concerned that the change might mean even longer delays in releasing guidance to the public.
But a recent report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO-20-55) suggests that the relationship is working well.

Understanding the new BEAT regulations | International Tax Review
Many commenters discussed the administrative burdens of Prop. Treas. Reg. § 1.59A-2(e)(3)(vii) regarding affiliated groups in which the companies have different year ends. The final regulations, therefore, adopted a 'with-or-within year end' method to determine the gross receipts and the base erosion percentage of an aggregate group (Treas. Reg. § 1.59A-2(c)(3)).
An overview of the final Qualified Opportunity Zones regulations – Idaho Business Review
The Qualified Opportunity Zones program was an element of the 2017 Tax Reform and Jobs Act designed to provide Americans who have capital gains built into assets they own some incentive to sell those assets and put their gains to work on economic development projects in the QOZs — low-income areas designated as in need of new development. There are presently more than $6 trillion in capital gains sitting on the sidelines in America.

This program is not a tax break for developers. It is a tax incentive for individual American investors. In fact, because developers typically deal with "dealer property" or "inventory," they rarely have capital gains.
IRS & US Treasury Opportunity Zone Final Regulations
On December 19, 2019, the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") issued final regulations (the " Final Regulations ") under section 1400Z-2 of the Internal Revenue Code[1] regarding the opportunity zone program, which was enacted as part of the law commonly referred to as the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act".
The opportunity zone statute left many uncertainties regarding the fundamental operations of the opportunity zone program. The IRS and Treasury issued two sets of proposed regulations under section 1400Z-2 in October 2018 and April 2019 (the "Proposed Regulations"). The Proposed Regulations were discussed in two of our earlier blog posts, found here and here .

IRS and Treasury Release Final Opportunity Zone Regulations | King & Spalding - JDSupra
On December 19th, 2019, the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) issued regulations (the “Final Regulations”) under Section 1400Z-2 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) [i] finalizing, with modifications, two rounds of previously-proposed regulations issued in October 2018 and May 2019 (collectively, the “Proposed Regulations”).
It is apparent from the Preamble to the Final Regulations (the “Preamble”) [ii] that the IRS gave serious consideration to the numerous comments submitted in response to the Proposed Regulations. As a result, although they contain many nuances and subtleties, the Final Regulations provide clarity and relative certainty on a number of issues crucial to both investors and businesses seeking the tax benefits of the QOZ program.
