        of an eligible taxpayer's investment in a carbon sequestration 
        project approved by the implementing panel under section 2 of 
        the International Carbon Conservation Act, the carbon 
        sequestration investment credit determined under this section 
        for the taxable year is an amount equal to--
                    ``(A) $3.00, multiplied by
                    ``(B) the number of tons of carbon the implementing 
                panel determines was sequestrated in such project 
                during the calendar year ending with or within such 
                taxable year, multiplied by
                    ``(C) the percentage of the total investment in 
                such project which is represented by the investment in 
                such project which is attributable, directly or 
                indirectly, to the eligible taxpayer, as determined by 
                the implementing panel.
            ``(2) Aggregate dollar limitation.--The credit determined 
        under paragraph (1) for any taxable year, when added to any 
        credit allowed to the eligible taxpayer with respect to the 
        such project in any preceding taxable year, shall not exceed 50 
        percent of the investment attributable to the eligible taxpayer 
        with respect to such project through such taxable year.
    ``(b) Annual Limitation on Aggregate Credit Allowable.--
            ``(1) In general.--The amount of the carbon sequestration 
        investment credit determined under subsection (a) for any 
        taxable year, when added to all such credits allowed to all 
        eligible taxpayers with respect to the such project for such 
        taxable year shall not exceed the credit dollar amount 
        allocated to such project under this subsection by the 
        implementing panel for the calendar year ending with or within 
        such taxable year.
            ``(2) Time for making allocation.--An allocation shall be 
        taken into account under paragraph (1) only if it is made not 
        later than the close of the calendar year in which the carbon 
        sequestration project proposal with respect to such project is 
        approved by the implementing panel under section 2 of the 
        International Carbon Conservation Act.

section--
            ``(1) Eligible taxpayer.--A taxpayer is eligible for the 
        credit under this section with respect to a carbon 
        sequestration project if such taxpayer has not elected the 
        application of sections 3 and 4 of the International Carbon 
        Conservation Act with respect to such project.

        period of a carbon sequestration project, there is a recapture 
        event with respect to such project, then the tax imposed by 
        this chapter for the taxable year in which such event occurs 
        shall be increased by the credit recapture amount.
            ``(2) Credit recapture amount.--For purposes of paragraph 
        (1)--
                    ``(A) In general.--The credit recapture amount is 
                an amount equal to the recapture percentage of all 
                carbon sequestration investment credits previously 
                allowable to an eligible taxpayer with respect to any 
                investment in such project that is attributable to such 
                taxpayer.
                    ``(B) Recapture percentage.--The recapture 
                percentage shall be 100 percent if the recapture event 
                occurs during the first 10 years of the project, 66\2/
                3\ percent if the recapture event occurs during the 
                second 10 years of the project, 33\1/3\ percent if the 
                recapture event occurs during the third 10 years of the 
                project, and 0 percent if the recapture event occurs at 
                any time after the 30th year of the project.
            ``(3) Recapture event.--For purposes of paragraph (1), 
        there is a recapture event with respect to a carbon 
        sequestration project if--
                    ``(A) the eligible taxpayer violates a term or 
                condition of the approval of the project by the 
                implementing panel at any time,
                    ``(B) the eligible taxpayer adopts a practice which 
                the implementing panel has specified in its approval of 
                the project as a practice which would tend to defeat 
                the purposes of the carbon sequestration program, or
                    ``(C) the eligible taxpayer disposes of any 
                ownership interest arising out of its investment that 
                the implementing panel has determined is attributable 
                to the project, unless the implementing panel 
                determines that such disposition will not have any 
                adverse effect on the carbon sequestration project.
        If an event which otherwise would be a recapture event is 
        outside the control of the eligible taxpayer, as determined by 
        the implementing panel, such event shall not be treated as a 
        recapture event with respect to such taxpayer.

                    ``(A) Tax benefit rule.--The tax for the taxable 
                year shall be increased under paragraph (1) only with 
                respect to credits allowed by reason of this section 
                which were used to reduce tax liability. In the case of 
                credits not so used to reduce tax liability, the 
                carryforwards and carrybacks under section 39 shall be 
                appropriately adjusted.
                    ``(B) No credits against tax.--Any increase in tax 
                under this subsection shall not be treated as a tax 
                imposed by this chapter for purposes of determining the 
                amount of any credit under this chapter or for purposes 
                of section 55.
