Publication of Inflation Adjustment Factor, Nonconventional 
Source Fuel Credit, and Reference Price for Calendar Year 2005

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Publication of the inflation adjustment factor, 
nonconventional source fuel credit, and reference price for calendar 
year 2005 as required by section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 
U.S.C. 29). The inflation adjustment factor, nonconventional source 
fuel credit, and reference price are used in determining the tax credit 
allowable on the sale of fuel from nonconventional sources under 
section 29 during calendar year 2005.

DATES: The 2005 inflation adjustment factor, nonconventional source 
fuel credit, and reference price apply to qualified fuels sold during 
calendar year 2005.
    Inflation Adjustment Factor: The inflation adjustment factor for 
calendar year 2005 is 2.2640.
    Credit: The nonconventional source fuel credit for calendar year 
2005 is $6.79 per barrel-of-oil equivalent of qualified fuels.
    Reference Price: The reference price for calendar year 2005 is 
$50.26. Because this reference price does not exceed $23.50 multiplied 
by the inflation adjustment factor, the phaseout of the credit provided 
for in section 29(b)(1) does not occur for any qualified fuels sold 
during calendar year 2005.

adjustment factor is calculated--Wu-Lang Lee, RAS:R:TSBR, Internal
