SUMMARY: The 2015 inflation adjustment factor is used in determining

effective for coal produced in the United States or a possession 
thereof after December 31, 2014.

DATES: The 2015 inflation adjustment factor applies to calendar year 
2015 sales of Indian coal produced in the United States or a possession 
thereof.
    Inflation Adjustment Factor: The inflation adjustment factor for 
calendar year 2015 for Indian coal is 1.1772.
    Credit Amount for Indian Coal: As required by section 
45(e)(10)(B)(ii), the $2.00 amount in section 45(e)(10)(B)(i) is 
adjusted by multiplying such amount by the inflation adjustment factor 
for the calendar year. Under the calculation required by section 
45(e)(10)(B)(ii), the credit for Indian coal production for calendar 
year 2015 under section 45(e)(10)(B) is $2.354 per ton on the sale of 
Indian coal.
