In this Revenue Procedure, the Assistant Secretary (Tax Policy) of the Treasury prescribes certain changes with respect to the Class Life Asset Depreciation Range System. One purpose of this Revenue Procedure is to eliminate existing asset guideline classes 33.1 (Manufacture of Primary Ferrous Metals) and 33.11 (Manufacture of Primary Ferrous Metals--Special Tools). A further purpose is to establish a new asset guideline class, depreciation period and range, and annual repair allowance percentage for assets used in the manufacture of foundry products, formerly included in classes 33.1 and 33.11 (Rev. Proc. 79-42, relating to property used in the manufacture of primary steel mill products, prescribes changes for the other assets formerly included in classes 33.1 and 33.11.) These changes are adopted pursuant to section 1.167(a)-11 of the Income Tax Regulations.
