majority that originally approved the opinion, the Commission adopts the 
motion to reconsider by the affirmative vote of 4 members.
    (b) The Commission may reconsider an advisory opinion previously 
issued if, upon the motion of a Commissioner who voted with the majority

any sanction provided by the Act or chapters 95 or 96 of the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1954. 11 CFR 112.6(c) shall not be effective after the 
date when the person to whom the advisory opinion was issued has
