For an abelian extension L/K of number fields, the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture (ETNC) at s = 0, which is equivalent to the Lifted Root Number Conjecture (LRNC), implies Rubin's Conjecture by work of Burns [3]. We show that, for relative biquadratic extensions L/K satisfying a certain condition on the splitting of places, Rubin's Conjecture in turn implies the ETNC/LRNC. We conclude with some examples.
