Abstract:
This notice supersedes Notice 2009-72 and establishes the qualifying advanced energy project program ("advanced energy program") under § 48C(d) of the Internal Revenue Code and announces an initial allocation round of the qualifying advanced energy project credit ("advanced energy credit") to qualifying advanced energy projects under the advanced energy program. A qualifying advanced energy project re-equips, expands, or establishes a manufacturing facility for the production of certain energy related property. A taxpayer must submit, for each qualifying advanced energy project: (1) an application for certification by the DOE ("application for DOE certification"), and (2) an application for certification under § 48C(d)(2) by the Service ("application for § 48C certification"). Both applications may be submitted only during the 2-year period beginning on August 14, 2009. Certification will be issued and credits will be allocated to projects in annual allocation rounds. The initial allocation round was conducted in 2009-10, and if necessary, additional allocation rounds in 2010-11.

Short Statement:
Section 48C, as originally enacted, by the 2009 Tax Act authorized the Service, in consultation with the DOE, to establish a Qualifying Advance Energy Project Program (Program) and to allocate $2.3 billion dollars in tax credit to those participants who had successfully met certain criteria with respect to the expansion, re-equipping or establishment of certain manufacturing facilities. After such credits were allocated, it became apparent that certain participants who had been allocated the credit were not going to be able to complete their projects. Consequently, approximately $150 million of credit, that had been allocated, reverted to the Service for future allocation as required by the statute. As a result, the Service established Phase II of the Program (pursuant to Notice 2013-12) to allocate the residual $150 million. Due to this much smaller credit amount available for allocation, IRS anticipates receiving far fewer respondents. As a result, the estimated burden hours decreased by 55,000 hours.
