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

    As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means on June 15, 2017


 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.
