AGENCY: ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Publication of the inflation adjustment factor, nonconventional source fuel credit, and reference price for calendar year 2005 as required by section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 29). The inflation adjustment factor, nonconventional source fuel credit, and reference price are used in determining the tax credit allowable on the sale of fuel from nonconventional sources under section 29 during calendar year 2005. The 2005 inflation adjustment factor, nonconventional source fuel credit, and reference price apply to qualified fuels sold during calendar year 2005. Inflation Adjustment Factor: The inflation adjustment factor for calendar year 2005 is 2.2640. Credit: The nonconventional source fuel credit for calendar year 2005 is $6.79 per barrel-of-oil equivalent of qualified fuels. Reference Price: The reference price for calendar year 2005 is $50.26. Because this reference price does not exceed $23.50 multiplied by the inflation adjustment factor, the phaseout of the credit provided for in section 29(b)(1) does not occur for any qualified fuels sold during calendar year 2005. DATES: For questions about how the inflation adjustment factor is calculated—WuLang Lee, RAS:R:TSBR, Internal Revenue Service, 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20224; Telephone Number (202) 874–0531 (not a toll-free number).
