DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Nonconventional Source Fuel Credit; Publication of Inflation 
Adjustment Factor, Nonconventional Source Fuel Credit, and Reference 
Price for Calendar Year 1995

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Publication of inflation adjustment factor, nonconventional 
source fuel credit, and reference price for calendar year 1995 as 
required by section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. section 
29).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The inflation adjustment factor, nonconventional source fuel 
credit, and reference price are used in determining the tax credit 
allowable on the production of fuel from nonconventional sources under 
section 29.

DATES: The 1995 inflation adjustment factor, nonconventional source 
fuel credit, and reference price apply to qualified fuels sold during 
calendar year 1995.

INFLATION FACTOR: The inflation adjustment factor for calendar year 
1995 is 1.9439.

CREDIT: The nonconventional source fuel credit for calendar year 1995 
is $5.83 per barrel-of-oil equivalent of qualified fuels.

PRICE: The reference price for calendar year 1995 is $14.62. (This is a 
republication of the reference price previously reported in 61 FR 13919 
on March 28, 1996.) Because this reference price does not exceed $23.50 
multiplied by the inflation adjustment factor, the phaseout of credit 
provided for in section 29(b)(1) does not occur for any qualified fuel 
sold in calendar year 1995.
