Introduction
The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instrument of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for announcing official
rulings and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service and for
publishing Treasury Decisions, Executive Orders, Tax Conven-
tions, legislation, court decisions, and other items of general
interest. It is published weekly and may be obtained from the
Superintendent of Documents on a subscription basis. Bulletin
contents are compiled semiannually into Cumulative Bulletins,
which are sold on a single-copy basis.
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, mod-
ify, or amend any of those previously published in the Bulletin.
All published rulings apply retroactively unless otherwise indi-
cated. Procedures relating solely to matters of internal man-
agement 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 rulings 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 Unpublished rulings will not be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.—19
86 Code.
This part i
ncludes rulings and decisions based on provisions of
the Intern
al 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, Leg-
islation 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 Rul-
ings. Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings are issued by
the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Assistant Sec-
retary (Enforcement).
Part IV
.—Items of General Interest.
This par
t includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbar-
ment an
d 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 c
ontents of this publication are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. A citation of the Internal Revenue Bulletin as the source would be appropriate.

Part III. Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous
Nonconventional Source Fuel
Credit, Section 29 Inflation
Adjustment Factor, and
Section 29 Reference Price
Notice 2006–37
This notice publishes the nonconven-
tional source fuel credit, inflation adjust-
ment factor, and reference price under § 29
of the Internal Revenue Code for calen-
dar year 2005. These are used to deter-
mine the credit allowable on fuel produced
from a nonconventional source under § 29.
The calendar year 2005inflation-adjusted
credit applies to the sales of barrel-of-oil
equivalent of qualified fuels sold by a tax-
payer to an unrelated person during the
2005 calendar year, the domestic produc-
tion of which is attributable to the taxpayer.
BACKGROUND
Section 29(a) provides for a credit for
producing fuel from a nonconventional
source, measured in barrel-of-oil equiva-
lent of qualified fuels, the production of
which is attributable to the taxpayer and
sold by the taxpayer to an unrelated person
during the tax year. The credit is equal to
the product of $3.00 and the appropriate
inflation adjustment factor.
Section 29(b)(1) and (2) provides for
a phaseout of the credit. The credit al-
lowable under § 29(a) must be reduced by
an amount which bears the same ratio to
the amount of the credit (determined with-
out regard to § 29(b)(1)) as the amount
by which the reference price for the calen-
dar year in which the sale occurs exceeds
$23.50 bears to $6.00. The $3.00 in § 29(a)
and the $23.50 and $6.00 must each be ad-
justed by multiplying these amounts by the
2005 inflation adjustment factor.
Section 29(c)(1), in part, defines the
term “qualified fuels” to include gas pro-
duced from biomass and liquid, gaseous,
or solid synthetic fuels produced from coal
(including lignite), including such fuels
when used as feedstocks.
Section 29(d)(1) provides that the credit
is to be applied only for sale of qualified
fuels the production of which is within
the United States (within the meaning of
§ 638(1)) or a possession of the United
States (within the meaning of § 638(2)).
Section 29(d)(2)(A)requires that the
Secretary, not later than April 1 of each cal-
endar year, determine and publish in the
Federal Register the inflation adjustment
factor and the reference price for the pre-
ceding calendar year.
Section 29(d)(2)(B) defines “inflation
adjustment factor” for a calendar year as
the fraction the numerator of which is the
GNP implicit price deflator for the calen-
dar year and the denominator of which is
the GNP implicit price deflator for calen-
dar year 1979. The term “GNP implicit
price deflator” means the first revision of
the implicit price deflator for the gross na-
tional product as computed and published
by the Department of Commerce.
Section 29(d)(2)(C) defines “reference
price” to mean 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 29(d)(5) provides that the term
“barrel-of-oil equivalent” with respect to
any fuel generally means that amount of
the fuel which has a Btu content of 5.8
million.
INFLATION ADJUSTMENT FACTOR
AND REFERENCE PRICE
The inflation adjustment factor for cal-
endar year 2005 is 2.2640. The reference
price for calendar year 2005 is $50.26.
These amounts were published in the Fed-
eral Register on April 10, 2006.
PHASEOUT CALCULATION
Because the calendar year 2005 refer-
ence price does not exceed $23.50 mul-
tiplied by the inflation adjustment factor,
the phaseout of the credit provided for in
§ 29(b)(1) does not occur for any qualified
fuel sold in calendar year 2005.
CREDIT AMOUNT
The nonconventional source fuel credit
under § 29(a) is $6.79 per barrel-of-oil
equivalent of qualified fuels ($3.00 x
2.2640). This amount was published in
the Federal Register on April 10, 2006.

Credit for Production From
Advanced Nuclear Facilities
Notice 2006–40
SECTION 1. PURPOSE
This notice sets forth interim guidance,
pending the issuance of regulations, relat-
ing to the credit under § 45J of the Inter-
nal Revenue Code for production of elec-
tricity at advanced nuclear power facili-
ties. Specifically, this notice specifies the
method that will be used to allocate the
national megawatt capacity limitation that
limits the allowable credit and prescribes
the application process by which taxpayers
may request an allocation of the national
megawatt capacity limitation. This notice
also provides guidance on the requirement
that the electricity be sold to an unrelated
person and on the effect of grants, tax-ex-
empt bonds, subsidized energy financing,
and other credits. The Internal Revenue
Service and the Treasury Department ex-
pect that the regulations will incorporate
the rules set forth in this notice.
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
.01 Section 45J was enacted by sec-
tion 1306 of the Energy Policy Act of
2005, Public Law 109–58 (119 Stat. 594).
Section 45J permits a taxpayer to claim a
credit for electricity that the taxpayer (1)
produces at an advanced nuclear power fa-
cility during the eight-year period begin-
ning when the facility is placed in service
and (2) sells to an unrelated person (quali-
fying electricity).
.02 Under § 45J(d), an advanced nu-
clear power facility is a nuclear facility that
meets all of the following requirements:
(1) The facility consists of a nuclear
power reactor that uses nuclear energy to
produce electricity. For purposes of this
2006–18 I.R.B.855May 1, 2006

notice, each nuclear power reactor located
on a multi-reactor site isa separate facility.
(2) The facility is owned by the tax-
payer.
(3) The reactor design for the facility
is approved by the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission after December 31, 1993
(and such design or a substantially similar
design of comparable capacity was not
approved on or before that date).
(4) The facility is placed in service be-
fore January 1, 2021.
.03 Under § 45J(b)(1), a taxpayer may
claim a credit for qualifying electricity
produced at an advanced nuclear power fa-
cility only if part of the national megawatt
capacity limitationhas been allocated to
the facility.
.04 Under § 45J(b)(1) and (c), the credit
allowed for a taxable year with respect to
the qualified electricity produced at an ad-
vanced nuclear power facility is computed
under the following rules:
(1) A tentative credit for the taxable
year is computed for the facility. The
facility’s tentative credit for the taxable
year is equal to 1.8 cents multiplied by the
kilowatt hours of qualified electricity pro-
duced at the facility and sold during the
taxable year to an unrelated person.
(2) The credit percentage is computed
for the facility. If the nameplate capacity of
the facility exceeds the national megawatt
capacity limitation allocated to the facil-
ity, the credit percentage for the facility is
determined by dividing the national capac-
ity limitation allocated to the facility by its
nameplate capacity. If the nameplate ca-
pacity of the facility does not exceed the
national megawatt capacity limitation al-
located to the facility, the credit percentage
for the facility is 100 percent.
(3) The credit allowed is the lesser
of (a) the tentative credit for the facility
multiplied by the credit percentage for
the facility, or (b) $125,000,000 per 1000
megawatts of national megawatt capacity
limitation allocated to the facility.
.05 Section 45J(b)(2) provides that
the national megawatt capacity limitation
is 6,000 megawatts. Section 45J(b)(3)
requires the Secretary to allocate this
national megawatt capacity limitation.
Section 45J(b)(4) requires the Secretary
to provide a certification process under
which the Secretary, after consultation
with the Secretary of Energy, shall ap-
prove and allocate the national megawatt
capacity limitation.
SECTION 3. ALLOCATION OF
NATIONAL MEGAWATT CAPACITY
LIMITATION
.01Allocation Limited to Qualifying
Facilities. The Service will allocate the
national megawatt capacity limitation only
to advanced nuclear facilities (within the
meaning of § 45J(d)(2)) that satisfy the re-
quirements of this section 3.01 (qualifying
facilities). An advanced nuclear facility
is a qualifying facility only if each of the
following requirements is satisfied:
(1) An application for a construc-
tion/operating license for the facility is
filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Com-
mission on or before the later of (i) Decem-
ber31,2008,or(ii)thedateonwhichthe
aggregate nameplatecapacity of advanced
nuclear facilities for which applications
for a construction/operating license have
been filed with the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission first equals or exceeds 6,000
megawatts.
(2) Construction on the facility begins
before January 1, 2014. For this purpose,
construction begins when a person who
has applied for or been granted a com-
bined license for an advanced nuclear fa-
cility initiates the pouring of safety-related
concrete for the reactor building.
(3) The U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) provides a certification that the
facility qualifies as an advanced nuclear
facility, that the requirements of section
3.01(1) and (2) are satisfied, and that it is
feasible for the facility to placed in service
prior to January 1, 2021 (“DOE certifica-
tion”).
.02Application Required.
The Service will allocate the national
megawatt capacity limitation only to qual-
ifying facilities for which the applications
are submitted in accordance with section 4
of this notice.
.03Allocation Method.
The national megawatt capacity limita-
tion will be allocated as follows:
(1) If the total nameplate capacity of all
qualifying facilities for which applications
are submitted does not exceed the national
megawatt capacity limitation, each of
those facilities will be allocated an amount
of national megawattcapacity limitation
equal to its nameplate capacity.
(2) If the total nameplate capacity of
all qualifying facilities for which applica-
tions are submitted exceeds the national
megawatt capacity limitation, the national
megawatt capacity limitation will be allo-
cated among the facilities in proportion to
their nameplate capacities.
.04Service Action.
On or before December 31, 2014, the
Service will accept or reject the taxpayer’s
application and will notify the taxpayer, by
letter, of its decision. If the taxpayer’s ap-
plication is accepted, the acceptance let-
ter will state the amount of the national
megawatt capacity limitation allocated to
the facility.
SECTION 4. APPLICATIONS FOR
ALLOCATION OF NATIONAL
MEGAWATT CAPACITY LIMITATION
.01 A taxpayer must submit, for each
facility for which an allocation of the na-
tional megawatt capacity limitation is re-
quested (1) an application to the Service

provide the DOE certification to the Ser-
vice. The DOE certification will be subject
to such requirements and conditions as the
Secretary of Energy may prescribe.
SECTION 5. REALLOCATION OF
NATIONAL MEGAWATT CAPACITY
LIMITATION IN CERTAIN CASES
If an amount of national megawatt ca-
pacity limitation is allocated to a facility
and the facility is not placed in service be-
fore January 1, 2021, or the DOE informs
the Service that the DOE certification
for the facility has been withdrawn, the
amount of the national megawatt capacity
limitation allocated to that facility will
be withdrawn and the national megawatt
capacity limitation will be reallocated un-
dertherulesofsection3.03ofthisnotice
among the remaining qualifying facilities.
SECTION 6. ADDITIONAL ISSUES
.01Sale to Unrelated Person.The
credit under § 45J is allowed only for elec-
tricity that the taxpayer produces and sells
to an unrelated person. Electricity will be
treated as sold to an unrelated person for
this purpose if the ultimate purchaser of the
electricity is not related to the person that
produces the electricity. The requirement
of a sale to an unrelated person will be
treated as satisfied in these circumstances
even if the producer sells the electricity to
a related person for resale by the related
person to a person that is not related to
the producer. For rules for determining
whether a person is related to the producer
of the electricity, see § 45(e)(4).
.02Effect of Grants, Tax-Exempt
Bonds, Subsidized Energy Financing, and
Other Credits. The amount of the credit
under § 45J is not reduced on account
of any grants, tax-exempt bonds, subsi-
dized energy financing, or other credits
described in § 45(b)(3).

plicable Gulf Tax Credit Bond credit rate

§ 148 applicable to tax-exempt State or lo-
cal bonds apply to Gulf Tax Credit Bonds
and any loans made with the proceeds of
such bonds. In applying § 148 to Gulf Tax
Credit Bonds the following special rules
apply—
2006–18 I.R.B.859May 1, 2006

(1) The credit allowed under
§ 1400N(l)(1) shall be disregarded for
purposes of computing the yield on the
issue under § 1.148–4;
(2) Section 148(b)(3) (relating to excep-
tion to the definition of “investment prop-
erty” for certain tax-exempt bonds) shall
not apply.
SECTION 7. TREATMENT OF
CREDIT BY HOLDERS OF GULF
TAX CREDIT BONDS
The following rules are applicable to
holders of Gulf Tax Credit Bonds:
(1) The holder of a Gulf Tax Credit
Bond must treat the bond as if it pays qual-
ified stated interest (within the meaning of
§ 1.1273–1(c)) on each credit allowance
date. Thus, for example, if the holder
uses an accrual method of accounting, the
holder must accrue as interest income the
amount of the credit over each period that
ends on a credit allowance date.
(2) If a holder holds a Gulf Tax Credit
Bond on a credit allowance date but can-
not use all or a portion of the credit to re-
duce its income tax liability (for example,
because the limitation in § 1400N(l)(3) ap-
plies), the holder is allowed a deduction
for the taxable year that includes the credit
allowance date (or, at the option of the
holder, the next succeeding taxable year).
The amount of the deduction is equal to the
amount of the unused credit deemed paid
on each credit allowance date during the
taxable year.
(3) If a person is a partner in a part-
nership, a beneficiary of an estate or
trust, a shareholder in an S corporation,
or the owner of an interest in another
pass-through entity except for a regu-
lated investment company (collectively,
pass-through entity), and the pass-through
entity owns a Gulf Tax Credit Bond, then
the amount of the credit under § 1400(l)(1)
allowedtosuchpersonforanytaxable
year shall not exceed an amount (sep-
arately computed with respect to such
person’s interest in such entity) equal to
the amount of tax attributable to that por-
tion of the person’s taxable income in such
year that is allocableor apportionable to
the person’s interest in such entity.

If an organization listed above submits
information that warrants the renewal of
its classification as a public charity or as
a private operating foundation, the Inter-
nal Revenue Service will issue a ruling or
determination letter with the revised clas-
sification as to foundation status. Grantors
and contributors may thereafter rely upon
such ruling or determination letter as pro-
vided in section 1.509(a)–7 of the Income
Tax Regulations. It is not the practice of
the Service to announce such revised clas-
sification of foundation status in the Inter-
nal Revenue Bulletin.
Deletions From Cumulative
List of Organizations
Contributions to Which
are Deductible Under Section
170 of the Code
Announcement 2006–28
The name of an organization that no
longer qualifies as an organization de-
scribed in section 170(c)(2) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 is listed below.
Generally, the Service will not disallow
deductions for contributions made to a
listed organization on or before the date
of announcement in the Internal Revenue
Bulletinthatanorganizationnolonger
qualifies. However, the Service is not
precluded from disallowing a deduction
for any contributions made after an or-
ganization ceases to qualify under section
170(c)(2) if the organization has not timely
filed a suit for declaratory judgment under
section 7428 and if the contributor (1) had
knowledge of the revocation of the ruling
or determination letter, (2) was aware that
such revocation was imminent, or (3) was
in part responsible for or was aware of the
activities or omissions of the organization
that brought about this revocation.
If on the other hand a suit for declara-
tory judgment has been timely filed, con-
tributions from individuals and organiza-
tions described in section 170(c)(2) that
are otherwise allowable will continue to
be deductible. Protection under section
7428(c) would begin on May 1, 2006, and
would end on the date the court first deter-
mines that the organization is not described
in section 170(c)(2) as more particularly
set forth in section 7428(c)(1). For indi-
vidual contributors, the maximum deduc-
tion protected is $1,000, with a husband
and wife treated as one contributor. This
benefit is not extended to any individual, in
wholeorinpart,fortheactsoromissions
of the organization that were the basis for
revocation.

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 ef-
fect:
Amplifieddescribes a situation where
no change is being made in a prior pub-
lished position, but the prior position is be-
ingextendedtoapplytoavariationofthe
fact situation set forth therein. Thus, if
an earlier ruling held that a principle ap-
plied to A, and the new ruling holds that the
same principle also applies to B, the earlier
ruling is amplified. (Compare withmodi-
fied,below).
Clarifiedis used in those instances
where the language in a prior ruling is be-
ing made clear because the language has
caused, or may cause, some confusion.
It is not used where a position in a prior
ruling is being changed.
Distinguisheddescribes a situation
where a ruling mentions a previously pub-
lished ruling and points out an essential
difference between them.
Modifiedis 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
withamplifiedandclarified, above).
Obsoleteddescribes a previously pub-
lished ruling that is not considered deter-
minative with respect to future transac-
tions. This term is most commonly used in
a ruling that lists previously published rul-
ings 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.
Revokeddescribes situations where the
position in the previously published ruling
is not correct and the correct position is
beingstatedinanewruling.
Supersededdescribes a situation where
the new ruling does nothing more than re-
state the substance and situation of a previ-
ously published ruling (or rulings). Thus,
the term is used to republish under the
1986 Code and regulations the same po-
sition published under the 1939 Code and
regulations. The term is also used when
it is desired to republish in a single rul-
ing a series of situations, names, etc., that
were previously published over a period of
time in separate rulings. If the new rul-
ing does more than restate the substance
of a prior ruling, a combination of terms
is used. For example,modifiedandsu-
persededdescribes 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 pub-
lished ruling is first modified and then, as
modified, is superseded.
Supplementedis 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 rul-
ing has been supplemented several times, a
new ruling may be published that includes
the list in the original ruling and the ad-
ditions, and supersedes all prior rulings in
the series.
Suspendedis 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.
