This notice publishes the reference price for the noncon- ventional source production credit under § 45K of the Inter- nal Revenue Code (Code) for calendar year 2023. Section 45K(d)(2)(A) provides, in general, that the Secretary shall determine and publish in the Federal Register the inflation adjustment factor and the reference price for the preceding calendar year for purposes of the nonconventional source production credit under § 45K. The credit period for the nonconventional source production credit ended on Decem- ber 31, 2013, for facilities producing coke or coke gas (other than from petroleum-based products). Therefore, this notice does not publish the inflation adjustment factor for that credit for calendar year 2023. However, the reference price continues to apply in determining the amount of the enhanced oil recovery credit under § 43, the marginal well production credit for qualified crude oil production under § 45I, and the percentage depletion in case of oil and nat- ural gas produced from marginal properties under § 613A. Accordingly, this notice publishes the reference price for calendar year 2023.

Introduction The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instrument of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for announcing offi- cial rulings and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service and for publishing Treasury Decisions, Executive Orders, Tax Conventions, legislation, court decisions, and other items of general interest. It is published weekly. It is the policy of the Service to publish in the Bulletin all sub- stantive rulings necessary to promote a uniform application of the tax laws, including all rulings that supersede, revoke, modify, or amend any of those previously published in the Bulletin. All published rulings apply retroactively unless other- wise indicated. Procedures relating solely to matters of inter- nal management are not published; however, statements of internal practices and procedures that affect the rights and duties of taxpayers are published. Revenue rulings represent the conclusions of the Service on the application of the law to the pivotal facts stated in the revenue ruling. In those based on positions taken in rul- ings to taxpayers or technical advice to Service field offices, identifying details and information of a confidential nature are deleted to prevent unwarranted invasions of privacy and to comply with statutory requirements. Rulings and procedures reported in the Bulletin do not have the force and effect of Treasury Department Regulations, but they may be used as precedents. Unpublished rulings will not be relied on, used, or cited as precedents by Service personnel in the disposition of other cases. In applying published rulings and procedures, the effect of subsequent legislation, regulations, court decisions, rulings, and procedures must be considered, and Service personnel and others concerned are cautioned against reaching the same conclusions in other cases unless the facts and circumstances are substantially the same. The Bulletin is divided into four parts as follows: Part I.—1986 Code. This part includes rulings and decisions based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Part II.—Treaties and Tax Legislation. This part is divided into two subparts as follows: Subpart A, Tax Conventions and Other Related Items, and Subpart B, Legislation and Related Committee Reports. Part III.—Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous. To the extent practicable, pertinent cross references to these subjects are contained in the other Parts and Subparts. Also included in this part are Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings. Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings are issued by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Assistant Secretary (Enforcement). Part IV.—Items of General Interest. This part includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbar- ment and suspension lists, and announcements. The last Bulletin for each month includes a cumulative index for the matters published during the preceding months. These monthly indexes are cumulated on a semiannual basis, and are published in the last Bulletin of each semiannual period. The contents of this publication are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. A citation of the Internal Revenue Bulletin as the source would be appropriate. June 24, 2024 Bulletin No. 2024–26 Part III Credit for Production of Clean Hydrogen 2023 and 2024 Section 45V Inflation Adjustment Factor and Applicable Amount Notice 2024-45 SECTION 1. PURPOSE This notice publishes the inflation adjustment factors and applicable amounts for the credit for production of clean hydrogen under § 45V of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) for calendar years 2023 and 2024. The inflation adjustment factor and applicable amount are used to determine the amount of the credit under § 45V(a) of the Code. SECTION 2. BACKGROUND Section 45V was added to the Code by section 13204 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, enacted as Pub. L. 117-169, 136 Stat. 1818, 1935 (August 16, 2022), to provide a credit for producing qualified clean hydrogen. Section 45V(a) provides that, for pur- poses of section 38, the clean hydrogen production credit for any taxable year is an amount equal to the product of (i) the kilo- grams of qualified clean hydrogen produced by the taxpayer during such taxable year at a qualified clean hydrogen production facil- ity during the 10-year period beginning on the date such facility was originally placed in service, multiplied by (ii) the applicable amount as determined under § 45V(b) with respect to such hydrogen. Section 45V(b)(1) provides that, for purposes of § 45V(a)(2), the applicable amount is an amount equal to the applica- ble percentage of $0.60. If the amount so determined is not a multiple of 0.1 cent, then such amount is rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.1 cent. Section 45V(b)(2) provides that, for purposes of § 45V(b)(1), the applicable percentage is determined based on the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions (life- cycle GHG emissions) rate of the process to produce any qualified clean hydrogen as follows: (i) if the lifecycle GHG emis- sions rate is not greater than 4 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per kilogram of hydrogen, and not less than 2.5 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, then the applicable percentage is 20 percent; (ii) if the lifecycle GHG emissions rate is less than 2.5 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, and not less than 1.5 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, then the applicable percentage is 25 percent; (iii) if the life- cycle GHG emissions rate is less than 1.5 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydro- gen, and not less than 0.45 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, then the applicable percentage is 33.4 percent; and (iv) if the lifecycle GHG emissions rate is less than 0.45 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, then the applicable percentage is 100 percent. Section 45V(b)(3) provides that the $0.60 amount in § 45V(b)(1) is adjusted by multiplying such amount by the inflation adjustment factor (as determined under § 45(e)(2), determined by substituting “2022” for “1992” in § 45(e)(2)(B)) for the calendar year in which the qualified clean hydrogen is produced. If any amount as increased under § 45V(b)(3) is not a mul- tiple of 0.1 cent, such amount is rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.1 cent. Section 45(e)(2)(B) defines the term “inflation adjustment factor” as, with respect to a calendar year, a fraction the numerator of which is the GDP implicit price deflator for the preceding calendar year and the denominator of which is the GDP implicit price deflator for the calen- dar year 1992. The term “GDP implicit price deflator” means the most recent revision of the implicit price deflator for the gross domestic product as computed and published by the Department of Com- merce before March 15 of the calendar year. SECTION 3. INFLATION ADJUSTMENT FACTORS .01 2023 Inflation Adjustment Factor. For purposes of § 45V(b)(3), for quali- fied clean hydrogen produced in calendar year 2023, the inflation adjustment factor is a fraction the numerator of which is the GDP implicit price deflator for 2022 (117.973) and the denominator of which is the GDP implicit price deflator for 2022 (117.973), which yields an inflation adjustment factor of 1. .02 2024 Inflation Adjustment Factor. For purposes of § 45V(b)(3), for quali- fied clean hydrogen produced in calendar year 2024, the inflation adjustment factor is a fraction the numerator of which is the GDP implicit price deflator for 2023 (122.273) and the denominator of which is the GDP implicit price deflator for 2022 (117.973), which yields an inflation adjustment factor of 1.0364. SECTION 4. APPLICABLE AMOUNTS .01 2023 Applicable Amount. For qualified clean hydrogen produced in calendar year 2023, the applicable amount determined under § 45V(b)(1) is the product of $0.60 ($0.60 x inflation adjustment factor of 1) and the applicable percentage, which depends on the life- cycle GHG emissions rate of the quali- fied clean hydrogen production process. For qualified clean hydrogen produced through a process that results in a lifecycle GHG emissions rate of: (i) not greater than 4 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, and not less than 2.5 kilograms of CO2e per kilo- gram of hydrogen, the applicable amount is $0.120; (ii) less than 2.5 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, and not less than 1.5 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, the applicable amount is $0.150; (iii) less than 1.5 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, and not less than 0.45 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, the applicable amount is $0.200; and (iv) less than 0.45 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, the applicable amount is $0.600. .02 2024 Applicable Amount. For qualified clean hydrogen produced in calendar year 2024, the applicable Bulletin No. 2024–26 1747 June 24, 2024 amount determined under § 45V(b)(1) is the product of $0.622 ($0.60 x infla- tion adjustment factor of 1.0364) and the applicable percentage, which depends on the lifecycle GHG emissions rate of the qualified clean hydrogen production pro- cess. For qualified clean hydrogen pro- duced through a process that results in a lifecycle GHG emissions rate of: (i) not greater than 4 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, and not less than 2.5 kilograms of CO2e per kilo- gram of hydrogen, the applicable amount is $0.124; (ii) less than 2.5 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, and not less than 1.5 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, the applicable amount is $0.156; (iii) less than 1.5 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, and not less than 0.45 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, the applicable amount is $0.208; and (iv) less than 0.45 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen, the applicable amount is $0.622.

Treatment of certain relief payments made to individuals affected by the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment Notice 2024-46 SECTION 1. OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE This notice announces that the Com- missioner of Internal Revenue (Commis- sioner) has determined that the February 3, 2023, derailment of a freight train oper- ated by a common carrier in East Palestine, Ohio (Derailment), is a qualified disaster for purposes of § 139 of the Internal Reve- nue Code (Code). As a result of this deter- mination, certain payments made by the common carrier to individuals affected by the Derailment (affected individuals) are excludable from gross income as qualified disaster relief payments under § 139(a). SECTION 2. BACKGROUND .01 Derailment in East Palestine, Ohio On February 3, 2023, a multi-car freight train operated by a common carrier derailed in the Village of East Palestine, located in Columbiana County in the State of Ohio. Several of the train cars contained hazard- ous materials, including vinyl chloride, eth- ylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylhexyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, benzene residue, and isobutylene. Some of these train cars spilled their loads onto the ground and into local waterways, and other train cars caught fire. Later, the contents of certain train cars were vented and burned off by the common carrier to prevent an explosion. As a result of the Derailment, and the potential environmental and health con- cerns from the spillage of the hazard- ous material, a number of residents and businesses near the Derailment site were evacuated. The Environmental Protection Agency deployed a team to East Palestine, Ohio to support state and local emergency and environmental response efforts. Following the Derailment, the com- mon carrier began operating a family assistance center in Ohio to provide financial support to affected individuals of East Palestine, Ohio and surrounding communities, including communities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of West Virginia. Beginning in 2023, the common carrier made payments to affected individuals for the following items: (a) relocation expenses, including for hotels, meals, gas or other fuel, pet boarding, and replacement of clothing and other personal items; (b) costs to repair and rehabilitate homes and the surrounding environment (for example, power wash- ing, air purifiers, air duct cleaning, and well-water testing); (c) medical expenses, including prescription medications; (d) lost wages; (e) one-time “inconvenience payments” of $1,000; (f) compensation to certain affected individuals who sold their homes, if the sale was completed after the Derailment; and (g) payments to prop- erty owners to allow the common carrier access to the track for remediation and for access to clean nearby creeks and streams. In connection with the Derailment, the common carrier also made payments to certain businesses. The common carrier has furnished Forms 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Infor- mation, to affected individuals for pay- ments made after February 3, 2023, and on or before December 31, 2023, report- ing these payments as includable in gross income. .02 Exclusion of qualified disaster relief payments from gross income. Section 139(a) provides that gross income does not include any amount received by an individual as a qualified disaster relief payment. This exclusion does not apply to exclude payments made to businesses from gross income. Section 139(b) provides that a quali- fied disaster relief payment includes any amount paid to or for the benefit of an individual– (1) To reimburse or pay reasonable and necessary personal, family, living, or funeral expenses (not otherwise com- pensated for by insurance or otherwise) incurred as a result of a qualified disaster, (2) To reimburse or pay reasonable and necessary expenses (not otherwise com- pensated for by insurance or otherwise) incurred for the repair or rehabilitation of a personal residence or repair or replace- ment of its contents to the extent that the need for such repair, rehabilitation, or replacement is attributable to a qualified disaster, or (3) By a person engaged in the furnish- ing or sale of transportation as a common carrier by reason of the death or personal physical injuries incurred as a result of a qualified disaster. Under § 139(c)(3), the term “qualified disaster” includes a disaster that results from an accident involving a common carrier, or from any other event, which is determined by the Secretary of the Trea- sury or her delegate (Secretary) to be of a catastrophic nature. June 24, 2024 1748 Bulletin No. 2024–26 Bulletin No. 2024–26 1749 June 24, 2024 SECTION 3. DISCUSSION .01 Designation as a qualified disaster. The Commissioner, pursuant to a gen- eral delegation by the Secretary, has deter- mined that the Derailment is an event of a catastrophic nature under § 139(c)(3). Therefore, the Derailment is a qualified disaster under § 139. .02 Qualified disaster relief payments. As a result of the Commissioner’s determination, certain of the payments described in section 2 of this notice, which were made by the common car- rier to affected individuals, are excluded from affected individuals’ gross income because the payments are qualified disas- ter relief payments. Specifically, the fol- lowing types of payments to affected indi- viduals are excludable from gross income as qualified disaster relief payments: payment or reimbursement of relocation expenses, including for hotels, meals, gas or other fuel, pet boarding, and replace- ment of clothing and other personal items, as well as payment or reimbursement of expenses for the repair and rehabilitation of homes and surrounding environment (for example power washing, air puri- fiers, air duct cleaning, and well-water testing), medical expenses, prescription medications, the one-time inconvenience payments of $1,000, and compensation to certain affected individuals who sold their homes if the sale was completed after the Derailment. The following types of pay- ments are not qualified disaster relief pay- ments and are includable in gross income: (1) payments made for the replacement of income, such as lost wages; (2) payments of any type made to businesses; or (3) payments made by the common carrier to access the track for remediation or to access creeks or streams for cleaning. SECTION 4. PROCEDURE FOR AFFECTED INDIVIDUALS TO EXCLUDE QUALIFIED DISASTER RELIEF PAYMENTS FROM INCOME .01 Instructions for affected individ- uals who have not yet filed an individual Federal income tax return. Affected individuals who received pay- ments from the common carrier and who have not yet filed their Federal income tax returns for the year the payment was received should not include any qualified disaster relief payments described in sec- tion 3.02 of this notice (even if reflected on Form 1099-MISC) in Federal gross income on their Form 1040, U.S. Indi- vidual Income Tax Return, except to the extent the expenses reimbursed by the common carrier were (or are expected to be) also compensated for by insurance or otherwise. • If filing Form 1040 electronically, affected individuals should attach to the Form 1040 a .pdf attachment with filename “EPTDR-East Palestine Train Derailment Relief.” The attachment should state “East Palestine Train Derailment Relief.” • If mailing the Form 1040, state “East Palestine Train Derailment Relief” at the top of Form 1040.

Energy Community Bonus Credit Amounts or Rates Annual Statistical Area Category Update and Coal Closure Category Update Notice 2024-48 SECTION 1. PURPOSE This notice publishes lists of informa- tion that taxpayers may use to determine whether they meet certain requirements under the Statistical Area Category or the Coal Closure Category as described in sections 3.03 and 3.04 of Notice 2023- 29 1 for purposes of qualifying for energy community bonus credit amounts or rates 1 Notice 2023-29, 2023-29 I.R.B. 1 (July 17, 2023), clarified by Notice 2023-45, 2023-29 I.R.B. 317 (July 17, 2023), and modified by Notice 2024-30, 2024-16 I.R.B. 878 (April 15, 2024). June 24, 2024 1750 Bulletin No. 2024–26 under §§ 45, 45Y, 48, and 48E of the Inter- nal Revenue Code (Code). 2 These lists are provided in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 to this notice. Appendix 1 to this notice pertains to the Statistical Area Cate- gory, and Appendix 2 to this notice per- tains to the Coal Closure Category. This notice does not include information that pertains to the Brownfield Category as described in section 3.02 of Notice 2023- 29. Appendices A, B, and C to Notice 2023-29; Appendices 1, 2, and 3 to Notice 2023-47; 3 Appendices 1 and 2 to Notice 2024-30; 4 and Appendices 1 and 2 to this notice may not be used for purposes of the qualifying advanced energy project credit determined under § 48C. SECTION 2. BACKGROUND Public Law 117-169, 136 Stat. 1818 (August 16, 2022), commonly known as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), amended §§ 45 and 48 to provide increased credit amounts or rates if cer- tain requirements pertaining to energy communities are satisfied, and added new §§ 45Y and 48E, which provide increased credit amounts or rates for certain quali- fied facilities, energy projects, or energy storage technologies that satisfy similar requirements and that are placed in ser- vice after December 31, 2024. Sections 45(b)(11), 48(a)(14), 45Y(g) (7), and 48E(a)(3)(A) provide the require- ments that taxpayers must satisfy to qual- ify EC Projects (as defined in section 2 of Notice 2023-29) for increased energy community bonus credit amounts or rates under those provisions of the Code. Sec- tion 2 of Notice 2023-29 provides that the term “EC Project” refers to: (1) a quali- fied facility eligible for a credit deter- mined under § 45 (§ 45 credit) or deter- mined under § 45Y (§ 45Y credit) that is located in an energy community; (2) an energy project eligible for a credit deter- mined under § 48 (§ 48 credit), which may include qualified property for which a tax- payer has made a valid irrevocable elec- tion under § 48(a)(5) to treat such qualified property as energy property under § 48, that is placed in service within an energy community; or (3) a qualified investment with respect to a qualified facility or an energy storage technology eligible for a credit determined under § 48E (§ 48E credit) that is placed in service within an energy community. Section 45(b)(11)(A) provides that in the case of a qualified facility located in an energy community, the § 45 credit (deter- mined after the application of § 45(b)(1) through (10)), without the application of § 45(b)(9) (domestic content bonus credit amount) is increased by 10 percent. Sec- tion 45Y(g)(7) provides a similar rule with respect to a qualified facility that is eligible for a § 45Y credit. Section 48(a)(14) provides that in the case of an energy project placed in service within an energy community, the energy percentage used to determine the rate of the § 48 credit is increased by 2 percent- age points. Section 48E(a)(3)(A) pro- vides a similar rule for qualified invest- ments with respect to a qualified facility or energy storage technology eligible for a § 48E credit that is placed in service within an energy community. In the case of a taxpayer also satisfying the prevail- ing wage and apprenticeship requirements (described in §§ 48(a)(10) and (11) and 48E(d)(3) and (4)) or meeting one of the other project requirements (described in §§ 48(a)(9)(B) and 48E(a)(2)(A)(ii) and (2)(B)(ii)), the rate of the § 48 credit or § 48E credit, as applicable, is increased by 10 percentage points. Section 45(b)(11)(B) identifies three location-based categories of energy com- munities for purposes of §§ 45, 45Y, 48, and 48E, described in Notice 2023-29 as the Brownfield Category, the Statisti- cal Area Category, and the Coal Closure Category. Notice 2023-29 contains three appendices (A, B, and C) that set forth cer- tain metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) or non-metropolitan statistical areas (non- MSAs) relevant to the Statistical Area Category and certain census tracts within the Coal Closure Category. Notice 2023- 47 contains three appendices (1, 2, and 3) that update the information provided in the appendices to Notice 2023-29. Notice 2024-30 contains two appendices (1 and 2) that update the information provided in Appendix B to Notice 2023-29 and Appendices 1 and 2 to Notice 2023-47. Notice 2023-29 describes certain rules that the Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intend to include in forthcoming proposed regulations for determining what constitutes an energy community, as defined in § 45(b)(11)(B) and as adopted by §§ 45Y(g)(7), 48(a) (14), and 48E(a)(3)(A), and for determin- ing whether a qualified facility, an energy project, or energy storage technology is located in an energy community. The notice provides that the Treasury Depart- ment and the IRS intend to propose that the regulations will apply to taxable years ending after April 4, 2023, and that until the issuance of the regulations, taxpayers may rely on the rules described in sections 3 through 6 of Notice 2023-29. Notice 2024-30 modifies Notice 2023- 29 by expanding the Nameplate Capacity Attribution Rule under section 4.02(1)(b) of Notice 2023-29 to include additional attribution property and by adding two 2017 North American Industry Classifi- cation System (NAICS) industry codes to the table in section 3.03(2) of Notice 2023- 29 for purposes of determining whether an MSA or non-MSA has met the threshold for Fossil Fuel Employment (as defined in section 3.03(2) of Notice 2023-29). Appendix 1 to Notice 2024-30 provided a list of additional MSAs and non-MSAs that meet the Fossil Fuel Employment threshold after modifying Notice 2023-29 to add two NAICS codes to the table in section 3.03(2) of Notice 2023-29.

Bulletin No. 2024–26 1751 June 24, 2024 not yet released the 2022 County Business Patterns. Therefore, there are no addi- tional MSAs and non-MSAs that meet the Fossil Fuel Employment threshold. SECTION 3. ENERGY COMMUNITY APPENDICES In accordance with sections 3.03 and 3.04 of Notice 2023-29, this notice pro- vides new Appendices 1 and 2. (1) Appendix 1: Appendix 1 is a list of MSAs and non-MSAs that qualify as energy communities because they meet the Fossil Fuel Employment threshold and have an unemployment rate at or above the national average unemployment rate for calendar year 2023 as described in § 45(b)(11)(B)(ii)(II) and section 3.03(3) of Notice 2023-29. Appendix 1 uses the 2023 calendar year county unemploy- ment rates released on April 19, 2024, by the Local Area Unemployment Sta- tistics (LAUS) program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 5 to include MSAs and non-MSAs that meet the Fossil Fuel Employment threshold (after the addition of two NAICS codes to the table in sec- tion 3.03(2) of Notice 2023-29 by Notice 2024-30), and that also have an unem- ployment rate at or above the national average unemployment rate for calendar year 2023 (as described in § 45(b)(11)(B) (ii)(II) and section 3.03(3) of Notice 2023- 29). The energy community status for the MSAs and non-MSAs listed in Appendix 1 is applicable as of June 7, 2024, and that status will continue until the Treasury Department and the IRS issue an updated list based on unemployment rates for 2024. (2) Appendix 2: Appendix 2 lists the newly identified census tracts with either a coal mine closure or a coal-fired elec- tric generating unit retirement, and census tracts that directly adjoin the census tracts with coal closures, using the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s (MSHA) Mine Data Retrieval System data and the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s EIA Form 860 and EIA Form 860M data as of April 1, 2024, and historical extracts from the MSHA’s Mine Data Retrieval System that enumerates each status change for a mine. Appendix 2 should be combined with Appendix C to Notice 2023-29 and Appendix 3 to Notice 2023- 47 to provide the full list of coal closure census tracts. SECTION 4.

2024 Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit; Registration Notice 2024-49 SECTION 1. PURPOSE This notice provides guidance on the registration requirements for the clean fuel production credit determined under § 45Z of the Internal Revenue Code (§ 45Z credit). 1 A taxpayer must have a signed registration letter from the Inter- nal Revenue Service (IRS) dated on or before January 1, 2025, for the taxpayer to be eligible to claim the § 45Z credit for production starting January 1, 2025. Thus, taxpayers should apply for registration as soon as possible to give the IRS sufficient time to process registration applications. See section 4.01(2) of this notice for addi- tional information. The Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the IRS intend to issue additional guidance on other aspects of the § 45Z credit at a later date. SECTION 2. OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND OF THE § 45Z CREDIT .01 Section 45Z generally. Section 13704 of Public Law 117-169, 136 Stat. 1818 (August 16, 2022), commonly known as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), added § 45Z and amended §§ 38(b) and 4101(a), 2 enacting the § 45Z credit for transportation fuel produced in the United States by the taxpayer at a qualified facility after December 31, 2024, and sold by the taxpayer to an unrelated person in a manner described in § 45Z(a) (4) during the taxable year. For purposes of § 38, the § 45Z credit is an amount equal to the product of (A) the applicable amount per gallon (or gallon equivalent) with respect to any transportation fuel which is produced by the taxpayer at a qualified facility and sold in the manner described in § 45Z(a)(4) during the tax- able year and (B) the emissions factor for such fuel as determined under § 45Z(b). See § 45Z(a)(1). .02 Applicable amounts, emissions factors, emissions rates, and provisional emissions rates. Section 45Z(a)(2) and (3) provides the applicable amounts for trans- portation fuels. Section 45Z(b) generally provides the rules for emissions factors for transportation fuels used to calculate the amount of the § 45Z credit. Section 45Z(b)(1)(A) provides the rules for calcu- lating the emissions factor for a transpor- tation fuel by using the emissions rate for such fuel. Section 45Z(b)(1)(B)(i) directs the Secretary of the Treasury or her delegate (Secretary), subject to § 45Z(b)(1)(B)(ii) and (iii), to publish annually a table that sets forth the emissions rate for similar types and categories of transportation fuels based on the amount of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions as described in § 211(o)(1)(H) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) (42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(1)(H)), as in effect on August 16, 2022 (emissions rate table). Section 45Z(b)(1)(B)(ii) provides that in the case of any transportation fuel that is not a sustainable aviation fuel (non-SAF transportation fuel), the lifecycle green- house gas emissions of such fuel is based on the most recent determinations under the Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emis- sions, and Energy use in Transportation model developed by the Argonne National Laboratory, 3 or a successor model (as determined by the Secretary). Section 45Z(b)(1)(B)(iii) provides that in the case of any transportation fuel that is a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of such fuel is determined in accordance with (I) the most recent Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Avi- ation (CORSIA) which has been adopted by the International Civil Aviation Orga- nization with the agreement of the United States, or (II) any similar methodology which satisfies the criteria under § 211(o) (1)(H) of the CAA, as in effect on August 16, 2022. Section 45Z(b)(1)(D) provides that in the case of any transportation fuel for which an emissions rate has not been established under § 45Z(b)(1)(B), a tax- payer producing such fuel may file a peti- tion with the Secretary for determination of the emissions rate with respect to such fuel (provisional emissions rate). The Treasury Department and the IRS will provide guidance regarding the emissions rate table and provisional emissions rate petition procedures at a later time. .03 Registration and unrelated party certification requirements. Section 45Z(f) (1) generally provides that only registered production in the United States is taken into account for the § 45Z credit. Section 45Z(f)(1)(B) provides that, for purposes of § 45Z(f)(1), the term “United States” includes any territory of the United States. Section 45Z(f)(1)(A)(i) provides that no § 45Z credit will be determined with respect to any transportation fuel unless the taxpayer (1) is registered as a producer of clean fuel under § 4101 at the time of production, and (2) in the case of any SAF, provides (A) certification (in such form and manner as the Secretary prescribes) from an unrelated party demonstrating compliance with any general require- ments, supply chain traceability require- ments, and information transmission requirements established under the COR- SIA described in § 45Z(b)(1)(B)(iii)(I), or in the case of any methodology described in § 45Z(b)(1)(B)(iii)(II), requirements similar to the requirements described in § 45Z(f)(1)(A)(i)(II)(aa)(AA), and (B) such other information with respect to such fuel as the Secretary may require for purposes of carrying out § 45Z. The unrelated party certification required under § 45Z(f)(1)(A)(i)(II)(aa) is required as part of a claim for the § 45Z credit for the production and sale of SAF. The Treasury Department and the IRS will provide guidance regarding unrelated party certification for claims for the § 45Z credit at a later time. 1 Unless otherwise specified, all references to “section” or “§” are references to sections of the Internal Revenue Code. 2 Under section 13704(c) of the IRA, these amendments apply to transportation fuel produced after December 31, 2024. See also footnote 4. 3 Section 45Z(b)(1)(B)(ii) refers to “the Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation model developed by Argonne National Laboratory.” The name of that model was changed to “Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies,” and as of December 2023, it is generally referred to as “R&D GREET.” June 24, 2024 1782 Bulletin No. 2024–26 SECTION 3.

(1) General definitions. (a) SAF or sustainable aviation fuel. Section 45Z(a)(3)(B) defines the term “sustainable aviation fuel” to mean the portion of liquid fuel that is not kero- sene that is sold for use in an aircraft and (i) meets the requirements of either (I) ASTM International D7566 (further defined in section 3.04(2)(a) of this notice to mean the ASTM D7566 Annexes), or (II) the Fischer Tropsch provisions of ASTM D1655 Annex A1 (further defined in section 3.04(2)(b) of this notice to mean ASTM D1655 Annex A1 section A1.2.2.2); and (ii) is not derived from Bulletin No. 2024–26 1783 June 24, 2024 palm fatty acid distillates or petroleum. For purposes of the § 45Z credit, SAF is a type of transportation fuel that must also meet the requirements of § 45Z(d)(5)(A). A liquid fuel that meets the specifications of one of the ASTM D7566 Annexes or meets the specifications of ASTM D1655 Annex A1, but does not meet the require- ments of § 45Z(d)(5)(A), is not SAF and is therefore ineligible for the § 45Z credit. For purposes of the § 45Z credit, SAF may be categorized as either (A) a liq- uid fuel that meets the specifications of one of the ASTM D7566 Annexes (SAF synthetic blending component), or (B) a co-processed liquid fuel that was pro- duced by co-processing petroleum with synthesized hydrocarbons derived from synthesis gas via the Fischer Tropsch pro- cess (FT hydrocarbons). (b) SAF FT hydrocarbons. The term “SAF FT hydrocarbons” means the FT hydrocarbons that are derived from bio- mass, used to produce jet fuel described in section A1.2.2.2 of ASTM D1655 Annex A1, and not derived from palm fatty acid distillates or petroleum. See section 3.04(2)(b) of this notice. (2) Definitions related to ASTM Inter- national specifications for SAF. (a) ASTM D7566 Annexes. The term “ASTM D7566 Annexes” means any of the annexes in ASTM D7566 that provide the specifications for a pathway to create a synthetic blending component that can be blended with ASTM D1655 kerosene (as defined in section 3.04(2)(c) of this notice). (b) ASTM D1655 Annex A1. The term “ASTM D1655 Annex A1” means the Fischer Tropsch provisions of ASTM D1655 Annex A1 that are contained in section A1.2.2.2, which provides a path- way for co-processing up to five percent of FT hydrocarbons with petroleum to make a liquid fuel that qualifies as jet fuel. For purposes of this definition, the term “petroleum” includes any conventionally sourced hydrocarbons permitted under ASTM D1655 Annex A1. Liquid fuel produced under section A1.2.2.1 does not qualify for the § 45Z credit because section A1.2.2.1 defines a pathway for producing a liquid fuel from co-processing an applicable material (or materials derived from an applicable mate- rial) with a feedstock that is not biomass (for example, petroleum), which § 45Z(d) (5)(A)(iii) excludes from the § 45Z credit. See section 3.02 of this notice. (c) ASTM D1655 kerosene and ASTM D1655 compliant SAF. The term “ASTM D1655 kerosene” means petroleum-based kerosene that meets the specifications set forth in ASTM D1655 and does not include liquid fuel co-processed with FT hydrocarbons or the addition of a SAF synthetic blending component. The term “ASTM D1655 compliant SAF” means ASTM D1655 kerosene that has been blended with a SAF syn- thetic blending component described in a specific ASTM D7566 Annex and meets the batch specifications described in ASTM D7566, Table 1. It also means kerosene produced by co-processing SAF FT hydrocarbons with petroleum under ASTM D1655 Annex A1. Once the mix- ture meets those batch specifications or is produced under ASTM D1655 Annex A1, the mixture may be regarded as jet fuel under ASTM D1655. ASTM D1655 com- pliant SAF is fully fungible with ASTM D1655 kerosene. The terms “ASTM D1655 kerosene” and “ASTM D1655 compliant SAF” are not ASTM designations, but rather are used in this notice to distinguish between two types of fuel (for federal tax purposes) that qualify as jet fuel under the ASTM D1655 specifications for jet fuel. (d) ASTM International D7566. The term “ASTM International D7566” means the batch specifications set forth under ASTM D7566, Table 1, which includes the blending requirements for each syn- thetic blending component and the over- all specifications and requirements for the blended mixture to be regarded as ASTM D1655 compliant SAF. Blending percent- age requirements for various synthetic blending components with ASTM D1655 kerosene are listed in section 6 of ASTM D7566 and range from 10 to 50 percent. SECTION 4. REGISTRATION AS A PRODUCER OF CLEAN FUEL .01 Registration generally. (1) Statutory registration requirement. Section 45Z(f)(1)(A)(i)(1) provides that no clean fuel production credit can be determined under § 45Z(a) with respect to any transportation fuel unless the taxpayer is registered as a producer of clean fuel under § 4101 at the time of production. 4 See § 48.4101-1 of the Manufacturers and Retailers Excise Tax Regulations for rules relating to registration under § 4101. 5 (2) Registration letter; timing of appli- cations for registration. A person is reg- istered for purposes of § 45Z(f)(1)(A)(i) (1) only if the IRS has issued a registra- tion letter to the person and the registra- tion has not been revoked or suspended. To be eligible to claim the § 45Z credit for production starting January 1, 2025, a taxpayer must have a signed registration letter dated on or before January 1, 2025. For example, if a taxpayer receives a let- ter of registration dated June 30, 2025, the taxpayer cannot claim the § 45Z credit for any transportation fuel produced and sold by the taxpayer before June 30, 2025, even if all other statutory requirements for the § 45Z credit are satisfied prior to that date. That taxpayer can only claim the § 45Z credit for transportation fuel produced and sold on or after June 30, 2025. Given the requirement that a taxpayer must be registered at the time of produc- tion to claim the § 45Z credit, taxpayers are encouraged to apply for registration as soon as possible to give the IRS sufficient time to process registration applications for the § 45Z credit. The IRS intends to process completed applications for reg- istration received by July 15, 2024, such that an eligible taxpayer can receive its letter of registration by January 1, 2025. 4 Section 45Z(f)(1)(A)(i)(I) provides that “[n]o clean fuel production credit shall be determined under [§ 45Z](a) with respect to any transportation fuel unless the taxpayer is registered as a producer of clean fuel under § 4101 at the time of production,...”. Section 13704(b)(5) of the IRA provided that for transportation fuel produced after December 31, 2024, “Section 4101(a) (1), as amended by the preceding provisions of this Act, is amended by inserting the phrase ‘every person producing a fuel eligible for the clean fuel production credit (pursuant to section 45Z)’ after ‘section 6426(k)(3)).’” However, § 4101(a)(1) does not reference § 6426(k)(3). The Office of Law Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives, whose functions include preparing and publishing periodically a new edition of the United States Code, executed the provision by making the insertion after "section 40B)," to reflect the probable intent of Congress. 5 The Treasury Department and the IRS intend to update the regulations under § 4101 to reflect the registration requirement in § 45Z(f)(1)(A)(i)(I). June 24, 2024 1784 Bulletin No. 2024–26 The IRS intends to quickly process appli- cations received after July 15, 2024, but cautions that a taxpayer that applies for registration after that date is less likely to receive its registration by January 1, 2025. In no event can the IRS guarantee that any application for registration will be pro- cessed by a certain date. (3) Effect of registration letter. Reg- istration is one of the requirements for a taxpayer to be eligible to claim the § 45Z credit. The taxpayer and the fuel(s) that the taxpayer produces must also meet the other § 45Z requirements for the taxpayer to be eligible to claim the § 45Z credit. A registration letter is not a determination by the IRS that the registrant may claim the § 45Z credit. For example, a regis- tration for Activity Letter “CN” issued to a taxpayer producing biodiesel is not a determination that the biodiesel meets the definition of transportation fuel under § 45Z(d)(5) or that the facility where the taxpayer produces such biodiesel meets the definition of a qualified facility under § 45Z(d)(4). (4) Procedures and information for registering generally. Application for registration is made on Form 637, “Application for Registration (for Certain Excise Tax Activities),” under Activity Letter “CN” (for a producer of non-SAF transportation fuel), or Activity Letter “CA” (for a producer of SAF), or both, in accordance with the instructions for that form. The IRS is revising Form 637 to add Activity Letters “CN” and “CA.” An applicant may apply for registration under more than one Activity Letter on a single Form 637. Until the revised Form 637 is released, applicants may use the current Form 637 by writing in Activity Letter “CN” or Activity Letter “CA,” or both, as appli- cable, and providing the corresponding information required by section 4.02 and 4.03 of this notice. (5) Transportation fuel; feedstocks; co-processor registration. The informa- tion in this section 4.01(5) and Appendix A is provided solely for purposes of appli- cations for registration and is not determi- native of whether a fuel is transportation fuel. Qualification of a fuel as transporta- tion fuel depends on the specific facts and circumstances, including the emissions rate of such fuel. (A) Non-SAF transportation fuel. In consultation with the Department of Energy (DOE), the Treasury Department and the IRS anticipate that low-GHG biodiesel, low-GHG butanol, low-GHG diesel fuel, low-GHG dimethyl ether, low-GHG ethanol, low-GHG gasoline, low-GHG hydrogen, low-GHG LPG, low- GHG methanol, and low-GHG natural gas may qualify as non-SAF transportation fuel taking into consideration the emis- sions rate threshold in § 45Z(d)(5)(A)(ii). See section 3.03 of this notice for defi- nitions of these types of fuel. Most fuels derived from palm fatty acid distillates, petroleum, natural gas, and coal (includ- ing lignite) are not expected to qualify as non-SAF transportation fuel based on the § 45Z(d)(5)(A)(ii) emissions rate thresh- old. A producer of non-SAF transporta- tion fuel not defined in section 3.03 of this notice should submit an application for registration if such producer antici- pates such fuel to be eligible for the § 45Z credit. (B) Co-processed SAF. For SAF pro- duced by co-processing petroleum with SAF FT hydrocarbons, the co-processor is the party that applies for registration under this notice. (C) Feedstocks used to produce trans- portation fuel; additional fuels and feed- stocks. In Appendix A, the Treasury Department and the IRS, in consultation with the DOE, have identified the feed- stocks and feedstock types associated with the varieties of fuel that may qualify as transportation fuel. The Treasury Depart- ment and the IRS may provide guidance at a later time about additional fuels (and the feedstocks for such fuels) that may be eligible for the § 45Z credit. .02 Registration procedure and require- ments for producers of non-SAF transpor- tation fuel eligible for the § 45Z credit. (1) Procedure for registering. Until the revised Form 637 is released, applicants producing non-SAF transportation fuel eligible for the § 45Z credit may use the current Form 637 by writing in Activity Letter “CN” and providing the following information: (A) Each type of non-SAF transporta- tion fuel and the annual volume of each type of non-SAF transportation fuel the applicant produces. If a type of non-SAF transportation fuel the applicant produces is not described in section 4.01(5)(A) of this notice, state “Other” and provide a description of the fuel; (B) The feedstock(s) and country of origin of each feedstock used to produce each type of non-SAF transportation fuel the applicant produces; (C) The location(s) and a description of the applicant’s production facilities; (D) Each production facility’s annual fuel production capacity, and whether the applicant’s production facilities are opera- tional and currently producing volumes of non-SAF transportation fuel; (E) The names and addresses of any person(s) acting for the applicant as an agent or broker in buying, selling, or trans- porting any non-SAF transportation fuel; (F) The business entities to which the applicant sells non-SAF transportation fuel; (G) The business entities from or with which the applicant buys, trades, trans- fers, or exchanges any non-SAF transpor- tation fuel; (H) The annual volume of non-SAF transportation fuel the applicant buys, sells, trades, transfers, or exchanges; and (I) A statement indicating under which ASTM standard(s), SAE standard(s), or both, the applicant produces non-SAF transportation fuel. (2) Requirements. The IRS will reg- ister an applicant with Activity Letter “CN” only if the IRS (A) concludes that the applicant is engaged as a producer of non-SAF transportation fuel that may be eligible for the § 45Z credit, or is likely to become so engaged within a reasonable time after being registered; and (B) is sat- isfied with the filing, deposit, payment, reporting, and claim history for all federal taxes of the applicant and any related per- son (as defined in § 48.4101-1(b)(5)). .03 Registration procedure and requirements for producers of SAF eligi- ble for the § 45Z credit. (1) Procedure for registering. Until the revised Form 637 is released, applicants producing SAF eligible for the § 45Z credit may use the current Form 637 by writing in Activity Letter “CA” and pro- viding the following information: (A) A statement indicating whether the applicant produces SAF under an ASTM D7566 Annex or ASTM D1655 Annex A1, and if applicable, the specific ASTM Bulletin No. 2024–26 1785 June 24, 2024 D7566 Annex under which the SAF syn- thetic blending component is produced; (B) The feedstock(s) and country of origin of each feedstock used to produce the SAF the applicant produces; (C) The annual volume of SAF the applicant produces; (D) The location(s) and a description of the applicant’s production facilities; (E) Each production facility’s annual fuel production capacity, and whether the applicant’s production facilities are oper- ational and currently producing volumes of SAF; (F) The names and addresses of any person(s) acting for the applicant as an agent or broker in buying, selling, or transporting any SAF; (G) The business entities to which the applicant sells SAF; (H) The business entities from or with which the applicant buys, trades, trans- fers, or exchanges any SAF; and (I) The annual volume of SAF the applicant buys, sells, trades, transfers, or exchanges. (2) Requirements. The IRS will regis- ter an applicant with Activity Letter “CA” only if the IRS (A) concludes that the applicant is engaged as a producer of SAF that may be eligible for the § 45Z credit, or is likely to become so engaged within a reasonable time after becoming regis- tered; and (B) is satisfied with the filing, deposit, payment, reporting, and claim history for all federal taxes of the appli- cant and any related person (as defined in § 48.4101-1(b)(5)). SECTION 5. INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER FUEL REGISTRATIONS Section 4101(a)(1) requires that every person required to be registered with respect to the tax imposed by § 4041(a) or 4081, every person producing or import- ing biodiesel (as defined in § 40A(d)(1) including agri-biodiesel and renewable diesel) or alcohol (as defined in § 6426(b) (4)(A)), every person producing or import- ing sustainable aviation fuel (as defined in § 40B), and every person producing second generation biofuel (as defined in § 40(b)(6)(E)), register under § 4101. Section 4081(a)(1) imposes an excise tax on certain removals, entries, and sales of taxable fuel. Section 4083(a) defines taxable fuel as gasoline, diesel fuel, and kerosene. Section 4041(a) imposes an excise tax on certain sales and uses of die- sel fuel and kerosene. Depending on the type of transporta- tion fuel being produced and sold, a per- son producing fuel eligible for the § 45Z credit may have additional registration obligations under § 4101 and § 48.4101-1 and thus may be required to be registered under other activity letters (in addition to Activity Letters “CN” and/or “CA”), including the following: (A) Activity Letter “SA” (producers or importers of sustainable aviation fuel as defined in § 40B); (B) Activity Letter “S” (enterer, posi- tion holder, refiner, terminal operator, or throughputter of gasoline, diesel fuel (including a diesel-water fuel emulsion), or kerosene, or industrial user of gaso- line); (C) Activity Letter “M” (blenders of gasoline, diesel fuel (including a die- sel-water fuel emulsion) or kerosene, producing a taxable fuel outside the bulk transfer/terminal system, including blend- ers of alcohol fuel mixtures, alternative fuel mixtures, biodiesel mixtures, and renewable diesel mixtures); (D) Activity Letter “AB” (producers and importers of agri-biodiesel); (E) Activity Letter “AF” (producers and importers of alcohol); (F) Activity Letter “NB” (producers and importers of biodiesel (other than agri-biodiesel) and renewable diesel); and (G) Activity Letter “SB” (producers of second generation biofuel). If a person is producing SAF eligible for the § 45Z credit and that SAF also meets the definition of sustainable avia- tion fuel under § 40B, such person must also be registered under Activity Letter “SA”. 6 For additional guidance for fuel reg- istrations, see Notice 2023-6 (guidance on sustainable aviation fuel credits under §§ 40B and 6426(k)), Notice 2008-110, 2008-51 I.R.B. 1298 (guidance on bio- diesel and registration for the cellulosic biofuel producer credit), 7 and Notice 2005-4, 2005-2 I.R.B. 289 (guidance on alcohol and biodiesel fuel tax credits and payments), as modified by Notice 2005- 62, 2005-35 I.R.B. 443 (guidance for certain biodiesel issues not addressed in Notice 2005-4). SECTION 6. PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT Section 4 of this notice sets forth col- lections of information to be provided to the IRS with Form 637. The collec- tions of information will be reflected in the submission to the Office of Man- agement and Budget (OMB) for review in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3507(c)) that is associated with Form 637 (OMB control number 1545-1835). The revi- sions to Form 637 and the new activity letters to be submitted with Form 637, outlined in section 4 of this notice, will be submitted to OMB for review and approval under the PRA procedures within 5 CFR 1320.10. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of information displays a valid OMB con- trol number. SECTION 7. DRAFTING INFORMATION The principal authors of this notice are Camille Edwards Bennehoff and Jennifer Golden of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Passthroughs & Special Indus- tries). For questions regarding this notice, contact Ms. Edwards Bennehoff or Ms. Golden at (202) 317-6855 (not a toll-free number). 6 Sections 40B(d) and 45Z(a)(3)(B) define SAF in nearly identical terms. However, the formulas used to qualify for and calculate the respective credits according to emissions are different. See Notice 2023-6, 2023-2 I.R.B. 328, Notice 2024-6, 2024-2 I.R.B. 348, and Notice 2024-37, 2024-21 I.R.B. 1191, for additional information regarding § 40B. 7 Section 404 of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, Public Law 112-240, 126 Stat. 2313 (January 2, 2013), modified and extended what was previously known as the cellulosic biofuel producer credit of § 40(b)(6), replacing the term “cellulosic biofuel” with “second generation biofuel” and expanding the list of qualifying feedstocks to include algae. June 24, 2024 1786 Bulletin No. 2024–26 Appendix A – Table of Feedstocks* Used to Make Fuels that May Be Eligible for the § 45Z Credit * Appendix A identifies primary feedstocks used to make transportation fuels that may be eligible for the § 45Z credit for purposes of applications for registration. Producers should list the feedstock(s) that are sourced from one or more separate entities or facilities as the main input(s) to their fuel production process. For example, an alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) producer that imports ethanol from one or more separate ethanol production facilities may list ethanol as the feedstock, whereas an integrated ATJ facility with on-site ethanol production should list the feedstock used to produce the ethanol. Renewable natural gas (RNG) producers with on-site anaerobic digestion should list the inputs to the digester (for example, manure or food waste) as feedstocks, whereas RNG producers that import biogas from a separate site should list biogas as the feedstock. ** For purposes of Appendix A, “dedicated” means woody biomass grown for the purpose of being harvested for biofuel production.

ACTION: Notice of Determination. SUMMARY: This notice of determi- nation announces that the list of taxable substances is modified to include poly- oxymethylene. EFFECTIVE DATES: The effective date of this modification for tax purposes is October 1, 2024. The effective date of this modification for purposes of refund claims under section 4662(e) of the Inter- nal Revenue Code (Code) is July 1, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Camille Edwards Bennehoff at (202) 317-6855 (not a toll-free number). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Section 4671(a) of the Code imposes an excise tax on the sale or use of a tax- able substance by the importer thereof. Section 4672(a)(1) of the Code defines the term taxable substance as any substance which, at the time of sale or use by the importer, is listed as a taxable substance by the Secretary of the Treasury or her delegate (Secretary) on the list of taxable substances under section 4672(a) (List). Under section 4672(a)(2), the importer or exporter of any substance may request that the Secretary determine whether such substance should be added to the List as a taxable substance or should be removed from the List. Under section 4672(a)(2) (B) and (b)(2), the Secretary is authorized to add a substance to the List if the Sec- retary determines that any taxable chem- icals that are listed in section 4661(b) of the Code constitute more than 20 percent of the weight, or more than 20 percent of the value, of the materials used to produce such substance. Section 4672(a)(4) autho- rizes the Secretary to remove a substance from the List only if such substance meets neither the weight nor the value test of sec- tion 4672(a)(2)(B). Under section 4672(a) (2)(B) and (a)(4), the Secretary’s determi- nation to modify the List is made based on the substance’s predominant method of production. Rev. Proc. 2022-26 (2022-29 I.R.B. 90), as modified by Rev. Proc. 2023- 20 (2023-15 I.R.B. 636), provides the exclusive process by which an importer, exporter, or interested person may request a determination that a particular substance be added to or removed from the List. Section 4671(b)(3) authorizes the Sec- retary to prescribe a tax rate for taxable substances in lieu of the tax rate specified in section 4671(b)(2). The tax rate pre- scribed by the Secretary for a substance added to the List is calculated by multiply- ing the conversion factor for each taxable chemical used in the production of the substance by the corresponding tax rate for such taxable chemical under section 4661(b). Conversion factors are deter- mined on the basis of the predominant method of production of the substance. See sections 8 and 10.04(8) of Rev. Proc. 2022-26. Importers are not required to use the prescribed tax rate for a taxable sub- stance and may calculate their own rate under section 4671(b)(1). Request to Add Polyoxymethylene to the List Celanese Ltd. (Petitioner) is an exporter of polyoxymethylene. Petitioner submitted a petition to the IRS in accor- dance with Rev. Proc. 2022-26 requesting a determination under section 4672(a) (2) to add polyoxymethylene to the List. According to the petition, the taxable chemical methane constitutes 50.08 per- cent, by weight, of the materials used to produce polyoxymethylene. Explanation of Determination The Secretary’s determination with regard to polyoxymethylene is in para- graph (a) of the “Modification to the List of Taxable Substances” section of this notice. The Secretary made the determina- tion to add polyoxymethylene to the List in accordance with the requirements of section 4672(a)(2) and (4), and pursuant to the procedures set forth in Rev. Proc. 2022-26, as modified by Rev. Proc. 2023- 20. The tax rate for polyoxymethylene, as prescribed by the Secretary, is provided in paragraph (a)(6) of the “Modification to the List of Taxable Substances” section of this notice. Classification numbers for poly- oxymethylene are provided in para- graph (b) of the “Modification to the List of Taxable Substances” section of this notice. The classification numbers provided with respect to polyoxymethy- lene are not part of the determination of whether polyoxymethylene is added to the List and do not impact whether poly- oxymethylene is a taxable substance. The classification numbers are provided solely as a matter of convenience, and taxpayers may not rely on them. The classification numbers may change over time. The Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the IRS do not anticipate updating this document to reflect any such changes. Modification to the List of Taxable Substances: (a) Determination. Polyoxymethylene is added to the list of taxable substances under section 4672(a). Other pertinent information is as follows: (1) Predominant method of production: There is a reaction of aqueous formalde- hyde with an alcohol to create a hemi- formal. The hemiformal/water mixture is dehydrated (either by extraction or vacuum distillation). The hemiformal is heated to release the formaldehyde. The formaldehyde is then polymerized by anionic catalysis, and the resulting poly- mer stabilized by reaction with acetic anhydride. (2) Stoichiometric material consump- tion equation: n CH 4 + n ½ O 2 → (CH 2 O) n + n H 2 (3) Reasons for the determination: The polyoxymethylene petition submitted by Petitioner was filed on December 20, 2022. The notice of filing summarizing June 24, 2024 1790 Bulletin No. 2024–26 the petition and requesting comments was published in the Federal Register (87 FR 79938) on December 28, 2022. The Trea- sury Department and the IRS received no written comments in response to the notice of filing. A public hearing was nei- ther requested nor held. The Secretary followed the process in section 4672(a)(2)(B) in making this determination. A review of the stoichio- metric material consumption equation and other information in the petition shows that methane, a taxable chemi- cal, constitutes more than 20 percent by weight of the materials used in the pro- duction of polyoxymethylene, based on the predominant method of production. Therefore, the test in section 4672(a)(2) (B) is satisfied. (4) Date of determination: May 30, 2024. Pursuant to section 10.02 of Rev. Proc. 2022-26, Petitioner and the IRS agreed to extend the 180-day determina- tion period. (5) Effective dates for addition of poly- oxymethylene to the List: (i) Effective date for purposes of the section 4671 tax (see section 11.01 of Rev. Proc. 2022-26): October 1, 2024. (ii) Effective date for purposes of refund claims under section 4662(e) (see sections 11.02 and 11.03 of Rev. Proc. 2022-26, as modified by section 3 of Rev. Proc. 2023- 20): July 1, 2022. (6) Tax rate prescribed by the Secre- tary: $3.65 per ton. The conversion factor for the methane used in the production of polyoxymethylene is 0.53. The tax rate is calculated by multiplying the conversion factor by the tax rate for methane (0.53 x $6.88 = $3.65). (b) Classification numbers. (1) The Secretary has no basis to object to the following classification numbers proposed by Petitioner: (i) HTSUS number: 3907.10.0000 (ii) Schedule B number: 3907.10.0000 (iii) CAS number: 9002-81-7 (2) The Secretary is unable to confirm the following classification numbers pro- posed by Petitioner: Not applicable. Krishna P. Vallabhaneni, Tax Legislative Counsel. 2023 Section 45K(d)(2)(C) Reference Price Notice 2024-51 SECTION 1. PURPOSE This notice publishes the reference price under § 45K(d)(2)(C) of the Inter- nal Revenue Code for calendar year 2023. The credit period for the noncon- ventional source production credit under § 45K ended on December 31, 2013, for facilities producing coke or coke gas (other than from petroleum-based prod- ucts). However, the reference price con- tinues to apply in determining the amount of the enhanced oil recovery credit under § 43, the marginal well production credit for qualified crude oil production under § 45I, and the applicable percentage under § 613A to be used in determining percentage depletion in the case of oil and natural gas produced from marginal properties. SECTION 2. BACKGROUND Section 45K(d)(2)(C) provides that the term “reference price” means, with respect to a calendar year, the Secretary’s estimate of the annual average wellhead price per barrel for all domestic crude oil the price of which is not subject to regulation by the United States. Section 43(a) provides that, for pur- poses of § 38, the enhanced oil recovery credit for any taxable year is an amount equal to 15 percent of the taxpayer’s qual- ified enhanced oil recovery costs for such taxable year. Section 43(b)(1) provides that the amount of enhanced oil recovery credit for any taxable year shall be reduced by an amount which bears the same ratio to the amount of such credit (determined without regard to this paragraph) as - (A) the amount by which the reference price for the calendar year preceding the calen- dar year in which the taxable year begins exceeds $28, bears to (B) $6. Section 43(b)(2) provides that the term “reference price” means, with respect to any calendar year, the reference price determined for such calendar year under § 45K(d)(2)(C). Section 45I(a) provides that, for pur- poses of § 38, the marginal well pro- duction credit for any taxable year is an amount equal to the product of the credit amount and the qualified crude oil produc- tion and the qualified natural gas produc- tion which is attributable to the taxpayer. Section 45I(b)(1) provides that for crude oil production, the amount of the marginal well production credit is $3 per barrel of qualified crude oil production. Section 45I(b)(2) provides that the $3 amount under § 45I(b)(1) shall be reduced (but not below zero) by an amount which bears the same ratio to such amount (determined without regard to this para- graph) as – (i) the excess (if any) of the applicable reference price over $15, bears to (ii) $3. The applicable reference price for a taxable year is the reference price of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the taxable year begins. Section 45I(b)(2)(C) provides that for qualified crude oil production the term “reference price” means, with respect to any calendar year, the reference price determined under § 45K(d)(2)(C). Section 613A(c)(6)(A) provides, in general, that the allowance for depletion under § 611 shall be computed in accor- dance with § 613 with respect to - (i) so much of the taxpayer’s average daily mar- ginal production of domestic crude oil as does not exceed the taxpayer’s depletable oil quantity (determined without regard to paragraph (3)(A)(ii)), and (ii) so much of the taxpayer’s average daily marginal production of domestic natural gas as does not exceed the taxpayer’s depletable natural gas quantity (determined without regard to paragraph (3)(A)(ii)), and the applicable percentage shall be deemed to be specified in subsection (b) of § 613 for purposes of subsection (a) of that section. Section 613A(c)(6)(C) provides that the term “applicable percentage” means the percentage (not greater than 25 per- cent) equal to the sum of - (i) 15 percent, plus (ii) 1 percentage point for each whole dollar by which $20 exceeds the refer- ence price for crude oil for the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the taxable year begins. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “reference price” means, with respect to any calendar year, the reference price determined for such calendar year under § 45K(d)(2)(C). Bulletin No. 2024–26 1791 June 24, 2024 SECTION 3. REFERENCE PRICE The reference price under § 45K(d)(2) (C) for calendar year 2023 is $76.10. SECTION 4.

Bulletin No. 2024–26 i June 24, 2024 Definition of Terms Revenue rulings and revenue procedures (hereinafter referred to as “rulings”) that have an effect on previous rulings use the following defined terms to describe the effect: Amplified describes a situation where no change is being made in a prior pub- lished position, but the prior position is being extended to apply to a variation of the fact situation set forth therein. Thus, if an earlier ruling held that a principle applied to A, and the new ruling holds that the same principle also applies to B, the earlier ruling is amplified. (Compare with modified, below). Clarified is used in those instances where the language in a prior ruling is being made clear because the language has caused, or may cause, some confu- sion. It is not used where a position in a prior ruling is being changed. Distinguished describes a situation where a ruling mentions a previously pub- lished ruling and points out an essential difference between them. Modified is used where the substance of a previously published position is being changed. Thus, if a prior ruling held that a principle applied to A but not to B, and the new ruling holds that it applies to both A and B, the prior ruling is modified because it corrects a published position. (Compare with amplified and clarified, above). Obsoleted describes a previously pub- lished ruling that is not considered deter- minative with respect to future transactions. This term is most commonly used in a ruling that lists previously published rulings that are obsoleted because of changes in laws or regulations. A ruling may also be obsoleted because the substance has been included in regulations subsequently adopted. Revoked describes situations where the position in the previously published ruling is not correct and the correct position is being stated in a new ruling. Superseded describes a situation where the new ruling does nothing more than restate the substance and situation of a previously published ruling (or rulings). Thus, the term is used to republish under the 1986 Code and regulations the same position published under the 1939 Code and regulations. The term is also used when it is desired to republish in a single ruling a series of situations, names, etc., that were previously published over a period of time in separate rulings. If the new ruling does more than restate the sub- stance of a prior ruling, a combination of terms is used. For example, modified and superseded describes a situation where the substance of a previously published ruling is being changed in part and is continued without change in part and it is desired to restate the valid portion of the previously published ruling in a new ruling that is self contained. In this case, the previously published ruling is first modified and then, as modified, is superseded. Supplemented is used in situations in which a list, such as a list of the names of countries, is published in a ruling and that list is expanded by adding further names in subsequent rulings. After the original ruling has been supplemented several times, a new ruling may be published that includes the list in the original ruling and the additions, and supersedes all prior rul- ings in the series. Suspended is used in rare situations to show that the previous published rul- ings will not be applied pending some future action such as the issuance of new or amended regulations, the outcome of cases in litigation, or the outcome of a Service study.
