Summary

The bill suspends federal fuel taxes on gasoline, diesel fuel, and kerosene for 120 days following enactment. The President may extend this suspension by an additional 90 days if economic conditions warrant it. During the tax holiday, the Treasury Department would transfer equivalent amounts from the general fund to the Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund to offset lost revenue. The legislation states that Congress expects the tax reduction to be passed on to consumers and authorizes the Treasury Secretary to enforce this policy.

(1) the rates of tax specified in clauses (i) and (iii) of section 4081(a)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall be zero, and

(2) the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund financing rate under section 4081(a)(2)(B) of such Code shall not apply to such gasoline, diesel fuel, or kerosene. The President may extend the period described in the preceding sentence by an additional 90 days if he determines in his sole discretion that economic conditions merit such extension.

(b) Transfers to Trust Funds.—

(1) In general.—The Secretary of the Treasury (or the Secretary’s delegate) shall transfer from the general fund of the Treasury to the Highway Trust Fund established under section 9503(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund established under section 9508(a) of such Code amounts equal to the reduction in amounts credited (but for this subsection) to each such Trust Fund by reason of subsection (a).

(2) Coordination rules.—

(A) Leaking underground storage tank trust fund.— Amounts transferred to the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund under paragraph (1) shall be treated for purposes of sections 9503(b)(1) and 9508(b) of such Code as taxes received in the Treasury under section 4081 of such Code which are attributable to the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund financing rate under such section.

(B) Highway trust fund.—Amounts transferred to the Highway Trust Fund under paragraph (1) shall be treated for purposes of section 9503(b)(1) of such Code as taxes received in the Treasury under section 4081 of such Code which are not attributable to the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund financing rate under such section.

(c) Benefits of Tax Reduction Should Be Passed on to Consumers.—

(1) In general.—It is the policy of Congress that—

(A) consumers immediately receive the benefit of the reduction in taxes resulting from the application of subsection (a), and

(B) transportation motor fuels producers and other dealers take such actions as necessary to reduce transportation motor fuels prices to reflect such reduction.

(2) Enforcement.—The Secretary of the Treasury (or the Secretary’s delegate) may use all applicable authorities to ensure that the benefit of the reduction in taxes resulting from the application of subsection (a) is received by consumers. <all>
