INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986

Editorial Notes

References in Text

Section 6426(k)(3), referred to in subsec. (e)(6)(E), probably should be a reference to section 40B of this title, which contains a definition of "sustainable aviation fuel". Section 6426(k)(3) of this title, as enacted by Pub. L. 117–169, does not define that term. However, a prior version of the bill that became Pub. L. 117–169 contained an amendment adding subsec. (k) to section 6426 that did contain such a par. (3) that adopted the definitions in section 40B.

Section 4081(c), referred to in subsec. (f)(1), was repealed by Pub. L. 108–357, title III, §301(c)(7), Oct. 22, 2004, 118 Stat. 1461.

Section 4091, referred to in subsec. (f)(1), (2)(A)(ii), (B)(ii), was repealed by Pub. L. 108–357, title VIII, §853(d)(1), Oct. 22, 2004, 118 Stat. 1612.
