DOE Publishing Emissions Value Process
If you produce clean fuels and want to claim the clean fuel production tax credit, DOE will publish an Emissions Value Request Process to support the Treasury and IRS administration of that credit. The notice says this process could affect how quickly producers get tax credit payments or claim the credit.
DOE Seeks Comments on Paperwork
DOE invites public comment on a proposed collection of information that it is developing for submission to the Office of Management and Budget for clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. That information collection is tied to the Emissions Value Request Process supporting the clean fuel production credit.
