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.

(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>
