fuel and kerosene excise tax and reflect changes made by the American 
Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Act) regarding mechanical dye injection 
systems. Under the Act, diesel fuel and kerosene that are to be used in 
a nontaxable use must be indelibly dyed by use of a mechanical dye 
injection system that satisfies the requirements set forth in the 
regulations. However, Notice 2005-80 lifted the requirement for 
mechanical injection and because of this there is currently no 
requirement in the regulations for pre-approval by the IRS to inject 
dye into exempt fuel. The statutory requirement remains codified until 
such time they are finalized or removed. The burden has been adjusted 
accordingly.
