## Summary

**Temporarily suspend federal excise taxes on most taxable motor fuels in 2026.** The bill would set key per‑gallon federal excise rates to zero for taxable fuel removed, entered, or sold during the applicable period and gives the President authority to extend or phase the tax back in. - Drivers and households: Fuel removed, entered, or sold during the suspension would face a zero federal excise rate under the specified code sections for the applicable period. - Fuel producers and retailers: The Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund financing rate would not apply to fuel covered by the zero rate, changing which per‑gallon charges apply on affected sales. - Highway Trust Fund and Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund: The Treasury must transfer amounts from the general fund to each Trust Fund equal to the reductions in amounts that would otherwise be credited to them. - Implementation and timing: The suspension initially lasts 90 days, the President may extend it to 215 days, or may direct a phased reimplementation through incremental restoration of the excise rates.
