                       I. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND

                         A. Purpose and Summary

    The bill, H.R. 1551, as reported by the Committee on Ways 
and Means modifies the credit for production from advanced 
nuclear power facilities to clarify the process for re-
allocation of credits in the event any credits are unutilized, 
and to add a new credit transfer provision with respect to 
certain public entities.

                 B. Background and Need for Legislation

    While the Committee continues to work on comprehensive tax 
reform as a critical means of promoting economic growth and job 
creation, the Committee believes it is important to provide 
immediate clarity and certainty on tax issues affecting 
American businesses. The Committee believes that a statutory 
rule clarifying the credit allocation process and adding a 
credit transfer provision will provide such clarity and 
certainty.

                         C. Legislative History

Background

    H.R. 1551 was introduced on March 15, 2017, and was 
referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Committee action

    The Committee on Ways and Means marked up H.R. 1551, a bill 
to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify the credit 
for production from advanced nuclear power facilities, on June 
15, 2017, and ordered the bill, as amended, favorably reported 
(with a quorum being present).

                      II. EXPLANATION OF THE BILL

   A. Advanced Nuclear Power Production Credit (sec. 45J of the Code)

                              PRESENT LAW

    Taxpayers producing electricity at a qualified advanced 
nuclear power facility may claim a credit equal to 1.8 cents 
per kilowatt-hour of electricity produced for the eight-year 
period starting when the facility is placed in service.\1\ The 
aggregate amount of credit that a taxpayer may claim in any 
year during the eight-year period is subject to limitation 
based on allocated capacity and an annual limitation as 
described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\Sec. 45J. The 1.8-cents credit amount is reduced, but not below 
zero, if the annual average contract price per kilowatt-hour of 
electricity generated from advanced nuclear power facilities in the 
preceding year exceeds eight cents per kilowatt-hour. The eight-cent 
price comparison level is indexed for inflation after 1992 (12.6 cents 
for 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    An advanced nuclear facility is any nuclear facility for 
the production of electricity, the reactor design for which was 
approved after 1993 by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. For 
this purpose, a qualified advanced nuclear facility does not 
include any facility for which a substantially similar design 
for a facility of comparable capacity was approved before 1994.
    A qualified advanced nuclear facility is an advanced 
nuclear facility for which the taxpayer has received an 
allocation of megawatt capacity from the Secretary of the 
Treasury (``the Secretary'') and is placed in service before 
January 1, 2021. The taxpayer may only claim credit for 
production of electricity equal to the ratio of the allocated 
capacity that the taxpayer receives from the Secretary to the 
rated nameplate capacity of the taxpayer's facility. For 
example, if the taxpayer receives an allocation of 750 
megawatts of capacity from the Secretary and the taxpayer's 
facility has a rated nameplate capacity of 1,000 megawatts, 
then the taxpayer may claim three-quarters of the otherwise 
allowable credit, or 1.35 cents per kilowatt-hour, for each 
kilowatt-hour of electricity produced at the facility (subject 
to the annual limitation described below). The credit is 
restricted to 6,000 megawatts of national capacity. Once that 
limitation has been reached, the Secretary may make no 
additional allocations. Treasury guidance required allocation 
applications to be filed before February 1, 2014.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\I.R.S. Notice 2013-68.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A taxpayer operating a qualified facility may claim no more 
than $125 million in tax credits per 1,000 megawatts of 
allocated capacity in any one year of the eight-year credit 
period. If the taxpayer operates a 1,350 megawatt rated 
nameplate capacity system and has received an allocation from 
the Secretary for 1,350 megawatts of capacity eligible for the 
credit, the taxpayer's annual limitation on credits that may be 
claimed is equal to 1.35 times $125 million, or $168.75 
million. If the taxpayer operates a facility with a nameplate 
rated capacity of 1,350 megawatts, but has received an 
allocation from the Secretary for 750 megawatts of credit 
eligible capacity, then the two limitations apply such that the 
taxpayer may claim a credit effectively equal to one cent per 
kilowatt-hour of electricity produced (calculated as described 
above) subject to an annual credit limitation of $93.75 million 
in credits (three-quarters of $125 million).
    The credit is part of the general business credit.

                           REASONS FOR CHANGE

    The Committee is concerned about ambiguity in the event 
some advanced nuclear power credits that would otherwise be 
available to taxpayers may go unused. Specifically, the 
Committee wants to ensure the full utilization of all 6,000 
megawatts of credit-eligible advanced nuclear power national 
capacity by requiring unutilized capacity to be reallocated. In 
addition, the Committee wants to ensure that tax-exempt 
entities receiving credit allocations may transfer those 
credits to other participants in an advanced nuclear power 
project. The Committee therefore believes that the 
modifications to the credit will provide necessary clarity in 
these areas.

                        EXPLANATION OF PROVISION

    The provision modifies the allocation of the national 
megawatt capacity limitation for the advanced nuclear power 
production credit. To the extent any amount of the 6,000 
megawatts of authorized capacity remains unutilized, the 
provision requires the Secretary to allocate such capacity 
first to facilities placed in service before the year 2021, to 
the extent such facilities did not receive an allocation equal 
to their full nameplate capacity, and then to facilities placed 
in service after such date in the order in which such 
facilities are placed in service. The provision provides that 
the present law placed-in-service sunset date of January 1, 
2021, does not apply with respect to allocations of such 
unutilized national megawatt capacity.
    The provision also allows qualified public entities to 
elect to forgo credits to which they otherwise would be 
entitled in favor of an eligible project partner. Qualified 
public entities are defined as (1) a Federal, State, or local 
government or any political subdivision, agency, or 
instrumentality thereof; (2) a mutual or cooperative electric 
company; or (3) a not-for-profit electric utility which has or 
had received a loan or loan guarantee under the Rural 
Electrification Act of 1936.\3\ An eligible project partner 
under the provision generally includes any person who designed 
or constructed the nuclear power plant, participates in the 
provision of nuclear steam or nuclear fuel to the power plant, 
or has an ownership interest in the facility. In the case of a 
facility owned by a partnership, where the credit is determined 
at the partnership level, any electing qualified public entity 
is treated as the taxpayer with respect to such entity's 
distributive share of such credits, and any other partner is an 
eligible project partner.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                             EFFECTIVE DATE

    The provision requiring the allocation of unutilized 
national megawatt capacity limitation is effective on the date 
of enactment. The provision allowing an election by qualified 
public entities to forgo credits in favor of an eligible 
project partner is effective for taxable years beginning after 
the date of enactment.

                      III. VOTES OF THE COMMITTEE

    Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XIII of the Rules of the House 
of Representatives, the following statement is made by the 
Joint Committee on Taxation with respect to the provisions of 
the bill amending the Internal Revenue Code of 1986: The gross 
budgetary effect (before incorporating macroeconomic effects) 
in any fiscal year is less than 0.25 percent of the current 
projected gross domestic product of the United States for that 
fiscal year; therefore, the bill is not ``major legislation'' 
for purposes of requiring that the estimate include the 
budgetary effects of changes in economic output, employment, 
capital stock and other macroeconomic variables.

provided.

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                     Washington, DC, June 16, 2017.
Hon. Kevin Brady,
Chairman, Committee on Ways and Means,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 1551, a bill to 
amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify the credit 
for production from advanced nuclear power facilities.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Peter 
Huether.
            Sincerely,
                                                        Keith Hall.
    Enclosure.

H.R. 1551--A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify 
        the credit for production from advanced nuclear power 
        facilities

    H.R. 1551 would modify the tax credit for electricity 
production from advanced nuclear power facilities. Under 
current law, taxpayers producing electricity at advanced 
nuclear facilities approved after 1993 and placed into service 
before January 1, 2021, can receive a tax credit for an eight-
year period that is based on the amount of electricity they 
produce, subject to certain facility-specific and nationwide 
limits on electricity capacity. The bill would allow entities 
that have reached their facility-specific limits, and have 
additional capacity above those limits, to receive an 
allocation from the unused nationwide limitation amount, thus 
allowing them to receive additional tax credits. The nationwide 
limits on qualifying electricity production would not change. 
The bill would also allow the additional allocation to apply to 
advanced facilities placed into service after December 31, 
2020. Finally, H.R. 1551 would allow certain non-profit or 
governmental entities to transfer a portion or all of their 
credits to taxable project partners. The treatment of 
unutilized limitation amounts would be effective upon date of 
enactment, and the allowed credit transfers would be effective 
for tax years beginning after the date of enactment.
    The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) 
estimates that the legislation would reduce revenues by about 
$16 million over the 2017-2027 period.
    The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-
reporting and enforcement procedures for legislation affecting 
revenues and direct spending. The net changes in revenues that 
are subject to those pay-as-you-go procedures are shown in the 
following table. Enacting the bill would not affect direct 
spending.

Note: Components may not add to totals due to rounding.

    JCT and CBO estimate that enacting the bill would not 
increase net direct spending in any of the four consecutive 10-
year periods beginning in 2028 and would increase on-budget 
deficits by several million dollars in at least one of those 
periods.
    JCT has determined that the bill contains no 
intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the 
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Peter Huether. 
The estimate was approved by John McClelland, Assistant 
Director for Tax Analysis.

     V. OTHER MATTERS TO BE DISCUSSED UNDER THE RULES OF THE HOUSE

          A. Committee Oversight Findings and Recommendations

    With respect to clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the Committee made findings and 
recommendations that are reflected in this report.

        B. Statement of General Performance Goals and Objectives

    With respect to clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the Committee advises that the 
bill contains no measure that authorizes funding, so no 
statement of general performance goals and objectives for which 
any measure authorizes funding is required.

              C. Information Relating to Unfunded Mandates

    This information is provided in accordance with section 423 
of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. No. 104-
4).
    The Committee has determined that the bill does not contain 
Federal mandates on the private sector. The Committee has 
determined that the bill does not impose a Federal 
intergovernmental mandate on State, local, or tribal 
governments.

                D. Applicability of House Rule XXI 5(b)

    Rule XXI 5(b) of the Rules of the House of Representatives 
provides, in part, that ``A bill or joint resolution, 
amendment, or conference report carrying a Federal income tax 
rate increase may not be considered as passed or agreed to 
unless so determined by a vote of not less than three-fifths of 
the Members voting, a quorum being present.'' The Committee has 
carefully reviewed the bill and states that the bill does not 
involve any Federal income tax rate increases within the 
meaning of the rule.

                       E. Tax Complexity Analysis

    Section 4022(b) of the Internal Revenue Service 
Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (``IRS Reform Act'') 
requires the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (in 
consultation with the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury 
Department) to provide a tax complexity analysis. The 
complexity analysis is required for all legislation reported by 
the Senate Committee on Finance, the House Committee on Ways 
and Means, or any committee of conference if the legislation 
includes a provision that directly or indirectly amends the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and has widespread applicability 
to individuals or small businesses.
    Pursuant to clause 3(h)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the staff of the Joint Committee on 
Taxation has determined that a complexity analysis is not 
required under section 4022(b) of the IRS Reform Act because 
the bill contains no provisions that amend the Internal Revenue 
Code of 1986 and that have ``widespread applicability'' to 
individuals or small businesses, within the meaning of the 
rule.

  F. Congressional Earmarks, Limited Tax Benefits, and Limited Tariff 
                                Benefits

    With respect to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee has carefully reviewed 
the provisions of the bill and states that the provisions of 
the bill do not contain any congressional earmarks, limited tax 
benefits, or limited tariff benefits within the meaning of the 
rule.

                   G. Duplication of Federal Programs

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(5) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee states that no 
provision of the bill establishes or reauthorizes: (1) a 
program of the Federal Government known to be duplicative of 
another Federal program; (2) a program included in any report 
from the Government Accountability Office to Congress pursuant 
to section 21 of Public Law 111-139; or (3) a program related 
to a program identified in the most recent Catalog of Federal 
Domestic Assistance, published pursuant to the Federal Program 
Information Act (Pub. L. No. 95-220, as amended by Pub. L. No. 
98-169).

                 H. Disclosure of Directed Rule Makings

    In compliance with Sec. 3(i) of H. Res. 5 (115th Congress), 
the following statement is made concerning directed rule 
makings: The Committee estimates that the bill requires no 
directed rule makings within the meaning of such section.

       VI. CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW MADE BY THE BILL, AS REPORTED

Sec. 45J. Credit for production from advanced nuclear power facilities

  (a) General rule.--For purposes of section 38, the advanced 
nuclear power facility production credit of any taxpayer for 
any taxable year is equal to the product of--
          (1) 1.8 cents, multiplied by
          (2) the kilowatt hours of electricity--
                  (A) produced by the taxpayer at an advanced 
                nuclear power facility during the 8-year period 
                beginning on the date the facility was 
                originally placed in service, and
                  (B) sold by the taxpayer to an unrelated 
                person during the taxable year.
  (b) National limitation.--
          (1) In general.--The amount of credit which would 
        (but for this subsection and subsection (c)) be allowed 
        with respect to any facility for any taxable year shall 
        not exceed the amount which bears the same ratio to 
        such amount of credit as--
                  (A) the national megawatt capacity limitation 
                allocated to the facility, bears to
                  (B) the total megawatt nameplate capacity of 
                such facility.
          (2) Amount of national limitation.--The aggregate 
        amount of national megawatt capacity limitation

        allocate the national megawatt capacity limitation in 
        such manner as the Secretary may prescribe.
          (4) Regulations.--Not later than 6 months after the 
        date of the enactment of or any amendment to this 
        section, the Secretary shall prescribe such regulations 
        as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the 
        purposes of this subsection. Such regulations shall 
        provide a certification process under which the 
        Secretary, after consultation with the Secretary of 
        Energy, shall approve and allocate the national 
        megawatt capacity limitation.
          (5) Allocation of unutilized limitation.--
                  (A) In general.--Any unutilized national

                by the Secretary under paragraph (3) as rapidly 
                as is practicable after December 31, 2020--
                          (i) first to facilities placed in 
                        service on or before such date to the 
                        extent that such facilities did not 
                        receive an allocation equal to their 
                        full nameplate capacity, and
                          (ii) then to facilities placed in 
                        service after such date in the order in 
                        which such facilities are placed in 
                        service.
                  (B) Unutilized national megawatt capacity 
                limitation.--The term ``unutilized national 
                megawatt capacity limitation'' means the excess 
                (if any) of--
                          (i) 6,000 megawatts, over
                          (ii) the aggregate amount of national 
                        megawatt capacity limitation allocated 
                        by the Secretary before January 1, 
                        2021, reduced by any amount of such 
                        limitation which was allocated to a 
                        facility which was not placed in

                  (C) Coordination with other provisions.--In 
                the case of any unutilized national megawatt 
                capacity limitation allocated by the Secretary 
                pursuant to this paragraph--
                          (i) such allocation shall be treated 
                        for purposes of this section in the 
                        same manner as an allocation of 
                        national megawatt capacity limitation, 
                        and
                          (ii) subsection (d)(1)(B) shall not 
                        apply to any facility which receives 
                        such allocation.
  (c) Other limitations.--
          (1) Annual limitation.--The amount of the credit 
        allowable under subsection (a) (after the application 
        of subsection (b)) for any taxable year with respect to 
        any facility shall not exceed an amount which bears the 
        same ratio to $125,000,000 as--
                  (A) the national megawatt capacity limitation 
                allocated under subsection (b) to the facility, 
                bears to
                  (B) 1,000.
          (2) Phaseout of credit.--
                  (A) In general.--The amount of the credit 
                determined under subsection (a) shall be 
                reduced by an amount which bears the same ratio 
                to the amount of the credit (determined without 
                regard to this paragraph) as--
                          (i) the amount by which the reference 
                        price (as defined in section 
                        45(e)(2)(C)) for the calendar year in 
                        which the sale occurs exceeds 8 cents, 
                        bears to
                          (ii) 3 cents.
                  (B) Phaseout adjustment based on inflation.--
                The 8 cent amount in subparagraph (A) shall be 
                adjusted by multiplying such amount by the 
                inflation adjustment factor (as defined in 
                section 45(e)(2)(B)) for the calendar year in 
                which the sale occurs. If any amount as 
                increased under the preceding sentence is not a 
                multiple of 0.1 cent, such amount shall be 
                rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.1 cent.
  (d) Advanced nuclear power facility.--For purposes of this 
section--
          (1) In general.--The term ``advanced nuclear power 
        facility'' means any advanced nuclear facility--
                  (A) which is owned by the taxpayer and which 
                uses nuclear energy to produce electricity, and
                  (B) which is placed in service after the date

        not approved on or before such date).
  (e) Transfer of Credit by Certain Public Entities.--

                entity, and
                  (B) such entity elects the application of 
                this paragraph for such taxable year with 
                respect to all (or any portion specified in

                        the provision of the nuclear steam 
                        supply system to the advanced nuclear 
                        power facility to which the credit 
                        under subsection (a) relates,
                          (iii) any person who participates in 
                        the provision of nuclear fuel to the

                                electric company are less than
                                  (II) the megawatt hours of 
                                electric energy sold during the

                        the term ``base year'' means--
                                  (I) the calendar year

                          (vi) For purposes of this 
                        subparagraph, the recovery period is

                        cooperative electric company offers 
                        nondiscriminatory open access or the 
                        calendar year which includes the date 
                        of the enactment of this subparagraph, 
                        if later, at the election of such

                          (viii) A company shall not fail to be

                        treatment under clause (i).
                          (ix) For purposes of subparagraph 
                        (A), in the case of a mutual or

        reason of this paragraph (or would be so exempt but for 
        this sentence).
                  (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), in 
                determining whether any company or association 
                is described in subparagraph (A), such company 
                or association shall be treated as receiving 
                during the taxable year amounts described in 
                subparagraph (A) which are received during such 
                year by all other companies or associations 
                which are members of the same controlled group 
                as the insurance company or association for 
                which the determination is being made.
                  (C) For purposes of subparagraph (B), the 
                term ``controlled group'' has the meaning given 
                such term by section 831(b)(2)(B)(ii), except 
                that in applying section 831(b)(2)(B)(ii) for 
                purposes of this subparagraph, subparagraphs

        the purpose of financing the ordinary crop operations 
        of such members or other producers, and operated in 
        conjunction with such association. Exemption shall not 
        be denied any such corporation because it has capital 
        stock, if the dividend rate of such stock is fixed at 
        not to exceed the legal rate of interest in the State 
        of incorporation or 8 percent per annum, whichever is 
        greater, on the value of the consideration for which 
        the stock was issued, and if substantially all such 
        stock (other than nonvoting preferred stock, the owners 
        of which are not entitled or permitted to participate, 
        directly or indirectly, in the profits of the 
        corporation, on dissolution or otherwise, beyond the 
        fixed dividends) is owned by such association, or 
        members thereof; nor shall exemption be denied any such 
        corporation because there is accumulated and maintained 
        by it a reserve required by State law or a reasonable 
        reserve for any necessary purpose.
          (17)(A) A trust or trusts forming part of a plan 
        providing for the payment of supplemental unemployment 
        compensation benefits, if--
                          (i) under the plan, it is impossible, 
                        at any time prior to the satisfaction 
                        of all liabilities, with respect to 
                        employees under the plan, for any part 
                        of the corpus or income to be (within 
                        the taxable year or thereafter) used 
                        for, or diverted to, any purpose other 
                        than the providing of supplemental 
                        unemployment compensation benefits,
                          (ii) such benefits are payable to 
                        employees under a classification which 
                        is set forth in the plan and which is 
                        found by the Secretary not to be 
                        discriminatory in favor of employees 
                        who are highly compensated employees 
                        (within the meaning of section 414(q)), 
                        and
                          (iii) such benefits do not 
                        discriminate in favor of employees who 
                        are highly compensated employees 
                        (within the meaning of section 414(q)). 
                        A plan shall not be considered 
                        discriminatory within the meaning of 
                        this clause merely because the benefits 
                        received under the plan bear a uniform 
                        relationship to the total compensation, 
                        or the basic or regular rate of 
                        compensation, of the employees covered 
                        by the plan.
                  (B) In determining whether a plan meets the 
                requirements of subparagraph (A), any benefits 
                provided under any other plan shall not be 
                taken into consideration, except that a plan 
                shall not be considered discriminatory--
                          (i) merely because the benefits under 
                        the plan which are first determined in 
                        a nondiscriminatory manner within the 
                        meaning of subparagraph (A) are then 
                        reduced by any sick, accident, or 
                        unemployment compensation benefits 
                        received under State or Federal law (or 
                        reduced by a portion of such benefits 
                        if determined in a nondiscriminatory 
                        manner), or
                          (ii) merely because the plan provides 
                        only for employees who are not eligible 
                        to receive sick, accident, or 
                        unemployment compensation benefits 
                        under State or Federal law the same 
                        benefits (or a portion of such benefits 
                        if determined in a nondiscriminatory 
                        manner) which such employees would 
                        receive under such laws if such 
                        employees were eligible for such 
                        benefits, or
                          (iii) merely because the plan 
                        provides only for employees who are not 
                        eligible under another plan (which 
                        meets the requirements of subparagraph 
                        (A)) of supplemental unemployment 
                        compensation benefits provided wholly 
                        by the employer the same benefits (or a 
                        portion of such benefits if determined 
                        in a nondiscriminatory manner) which 
                        such employees would receive under such 
                        other plan if such employees were 
                        eligible under such other plan, but 
                        only if the employees eligible under 
                        both plans would make a classification 
                        which would be nondiscriminatory within 
                        the meaning of subparagraph (A).
                  (C) A plan shall be considered to meet the 
                requirements of subparagraph (A) during the 
                whole of any year of the plan if on one day in 
                each quarter it satisfies such requirements.
                  (D) The term ``supplemental unemployment 
                compensation benefits'' means only--
                          (i) benefits which are paid to an 
                        employee because of his involuntary 
                        separation from the employment of the 
                        employer (whether or not such 
                        separation is temporary) resulting 
                        directly from a reduction in force, the 
                        discontinuance of a plant or operation, 
                        or other similar conditions, and
                          (ii) sick and accident benefits 
                        subordinate to the benefits described 
                        in clause (i).
                  (E) Exemption shall not be denied under 
                subsection (a) to any organization entitled to 
                such exemption as an association described in 
                paragraph (9) of this subsection merely because 
                such organization provides for the payment of 
                supplemental unemployment benefits (as defined 
                in subparagraph (D)(i)).
          (18) A trust or trusts created before June 25, 1959, 
        forming part of a plan providing for the payment of 
        benefits under a pension plan funded only by 
        contributions of employees, if--
                  (A) under the plan, it is impossible, at any 
                time prior to the satisfaction of all 
                liabilities with respect to employees under the 
                plan, for any part of the corpus or income to 
                be (within the taxable year or thereafter) used 
                for, or diverted to, any purpose other than the 
                providing of benefits under the plan,
                  (B) such benefits are payable to employees 
                under a classification which is set forth in 
                the plan and which is found by the Secretary 
                not to be discriminatory in favor of employees 
                who are highly compensated employees (within 
                the meaning of section 414(q)),
                  (C) such benefits do not discriminate in 
                favor of employees who are highly compensated 
                employees (within the meaning of section

                        to such elective contributions,
                          (iii) such contributions are treated 
                        as elective deferrals for purposes of

                                (subject to any Federal or 
                                State securities law) to any 
                                organization described in 
                                subparagraph (C) so long as the 
                                sale or exchange does not 
                                increase the number of 
                                shareholders or beneficiaries 
                                in such corporation or trust 
                                above 35, or
                                  (II) by having their stock or 
                                interest redeemed by the 
                                corporation or trust after the

                                provided 90 days notice to such 
                                corporation or trust.
                  (E)(i) For purposes of this title--
                                  (I) a corporation which is a 
                                qualified subsidiary shall not 
                                be treated as a separate 
                                corporation, and
                                  (II) all assets, liabilities, 
                                and items of income, deduction, 
                                and credit of a qualified 
                                subsidiary shall be treated as 
                                assets, liabilities, and such 
                                items (as the case may be) of 
                                the corporation or trust 
                                described in subparagraph (A).
                          (ii) For purposes of this 
                        subparagraph, the term ``qualified 
                        subsidiary'' means any corporation if, 
                        at all times during the period such 
                        corporation was in existence, 100 
                        percent of the stock of such 
                        corporation is held by the corporation 
                        or trust described in subparagraph (A).
                          (iii) For purposes of this subtitle, 
                        if any corporation which was a 
                        qualified subsidiary ceases to meet the 
                        requirements of clause (ii), such 
                        corporation shall be treated as a new 
                        corporation acquiring all of its assets 
                        (and assuming all of its liabilities) 
                        immediately before such cessation from 
                        the corporation or trust described in 
                        subparagraph (A) in exchange for its 
                        stock.
                  (F) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the 
                term ``real property'' includes any personal 
                property which is leased under, or in 
                connection with, a lease of real property, but 
                only if the rent attributable to such personal 
                property (determined under the rules of section 
                856(d)(1)) for the taxable year does not exceed 
                15 percent of the total rent for the taxable 
                year attributable to both the real and personal 
                property leased under, or in connection with, 
                such lease.
                  (G)(i) An organization shall not be treated 
                as failing to be described in this paragraph 
                merely by reason of the receipt of any 
                otherwise disqualifying income which is 
                incidentally derived from the holding of real 
                property.
                          (ii) Clause (i) shall not apply if 
                        the amount of gross income described in 
                        such clause exceeds 10 percent of the 
                        organization's gross income for the 
                        taxable year unless the organization 
                        establishes to the satisfaction of the 
                        Secretary that the receipt of gross 
                        income described in clause (i) in 
                        excess of such limitation was 
                        inadvertent and reasonable steps are 
                        being taken to correct the 
                        circumstances giving rise to such 
                        income.
          (26) Any membership organization if--
                  (A) such organization is established by a 
                State exclusively to provide coverage for 
                medical care (as defined in section 213(d)) on 
                a not-for-profit basis to individuals described 
                in subparagraph (B) through--
                          (i) insurance issued by the 
                        organization, or
                          (ii) a health maintenance 
                        organization under an arrangement with 
                        the organization,
                  (B) the only individuals receiving such 
                coverage through the organization are 
                individuals--
                          (i) who are residents of such State, 
                        and
                          (ii) who, by reason of the existence 
                        or history of a medical condition--
                                  (I) are unable to acquire 
                                medical care coverage for such 
                                condition through insurance or 
                                from a health maintenance 
                                organization, or
                                  (II) are able to acquire such 
                                coverage only at a rate which 
                                is substantially in excess of 
                                the rate for such coverage 
                                through the membership 
                                organization,
                  (C) the composition of the membership in such 
                organization is specified by such State, and
                  (D) no part of the net earnings of the 
                organization inures to the benefit of any 
                private shareholder or individual.
        A spouse and any qualifying child (as defined in 
        section 24(c)) of an individual described in 
        subparagraph (B) (without regard to this sentence) 
        shall be treated as described in subparagraph (B).
          (27)(A) Any membership organization if--
                          (i) such organization is established 
                        before June 1, 1996, by a State

                        compensation acts,
                          (ii) such State requires that the 
                        membership of such organization consist 
                        of--
                                  (I) all persons who issue

                                to its members or workmen's

                                disincentives if such insurance 
                                is not purchased by an 
                                employer, and

                        commitment with respect to such 
                        organization either by extending the 
                        full faith and credit of the State to 
                        the initial debt of such organization

                        organization described in paragraph (2) 
                        is suspended under paragraph (1),

                1-year period beginning on the date of the last 
                determination described in subparagraph

        of tax-exempt organizations and shall publish 
        appropriate notice to taxpayers of such suspension and 
        of the fact that contributions to such organization are 
        not deductible during the period of such suspension.
  (q) Special rules for credit counseling organizations.--
          (1) In general.--An organization with respect to 
        which the provision of credit counseling services is a 
        substantial purpose shall not be exempt from tax under 
        subsection (a) unless such organization is described in 
        paragraph (3) or (4) of subsection (c) and such 
        organization is organized and operated in accordance 
        with the following requirements:
                  (A) The organization--
                          (i) provides credit counseling 
                        services tailored to the specific needs 
                        and circumstances of consumers,
                          (ii) makes no loans to debtors (other 
                        than loans with no fees or interest) 
                        and does not negotiate the making of 
                        loans on behalf of debtors,
                          (iii) provides services for the 
                        purpose of improving a consumer's 
                        credit record, credit history, or 
                        credit rating only to the extent that 
                        such services are incidental to 
                        providing credit counseling services, 
                        and
                          (iv) does not charge any separately 
                        stated fee for services for the purpose 
                        of improving any consumer's credit 
                        record, credit history, or credit 
                        rating.
                  (B) The organization does not refuse to 
                provide credit counseling services to a 
                consumer due to the inability of the consumer 
                to pay, the ineligibility of the consumer for 
                debt management plan enrollment, or the 
                unwillingness of the consumer to enroll in a 
                debt management plan.
                  (C) The organization establishes and 
                implements a fee policy which--
                          (i) requires that any fees charged to 
                        a consumer for services are reasonable,
                          (ii) allows for the waiver of fees if 
                        the consumer is unable to pay, and
                          (iii) except to the extent allowed by 
                        State law, prohibits charging any fee 
                        based in whole or in part on a 
                        percentage of the consumer's debt, the 
                        consumer's payments to be made pursuant 
                        to a debt management plan, or the 
                        projected or actual savings to the 
                        consumer resulting from enrolling in a 
                        debt management plan.
                  (D) At all times the organization has a board 
                of directors or other governing body--
