1Opinion of the Court

OPINION

Cohen, Chief Judge:

This case is before us on respondent’s motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. The issue is whether the Court has jurisdiction pursuant to section 6404(g) to consider petitioners’ claims seeking abatement of interest. Unless otherwise indicated, all section references are to the Internal Revenue Code in effect at the time the petition was filed, and all Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure. The resolution of this issue turns on the effective date of section 6404(g).
