    (a)-(b) [Reserved]
    (c) Additional tax. Section 4971(b) imposes an excise tax in any 
case in which an initial tax is imposed under section 4971(a) on an 
accumulated funding deficiency and the accumulated funding deficiency is 
not corrected within the taxable period (as defined in section 
4971(c)(3)). The additional tax is 100 percent of the accumulated 
funding deficiency to the extent not corrected.
    (d) [Reserved]
    (e) Definition of taxable period--(1) In general. For purposes of 
any accumulated funding deficiency, the term ``taxable period'' means 
the period beginning with the end of the plan year in which there is an 
accumulated funding deficiency and ending on the earlier of:
    (i) The date of mailing of a notice of deficiency under section 6212 
with respect to the tax imposed by section 4971(a), or
    (ii) The date on which the tax imposed by section 4971(a) is 
assessed.
    (2) Special rule. Where a notice of deficiency referred to in 
paragraph (e)(1)(i) of this section is not mailed because a waiver of 
the restrictions on assessment and collection of a deficiency has been 
accepted or because the deficiency is paid, the date of filing of the 
waiver or the date of such payment, respectively, shall be treated as 
the end of the taxable period.
