APPENDIX A
CLOSING AGREEMENT
Under § 7121 of the Internal Revenue Code, [insert taxpayer’s name, address, and identifying number] (“Taxpayer”) and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue (“Commissioner”) make the following closing agreement:
WHEREAS:
On or before March [insert date and year], Taxpayer submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), an application for certification under the qualifying gasification project program described in Notice 2007–53 (“Application for § 48B Certification”);
Taxpayer’s Application for § 48B Certification is for the qualifying gasification project (the “Project”) described below—
(1) The Project will be located at [insert address or other identifying designation];
(2) The Project will have a total synthesis gas capacity (as defined in section 3.03 of Notice 2007–53) of at least [insert number] total MMBtu per hour of synthesis gas. The synthesis gas is composed primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen for direct use or subsequent chemical or physical conversion;
(3) The fuels identified in § 48B(c)(2) will at all times cumulatively comprise at least 90 percent of the total fuel input (as defined in section 3.04(1) of Notice 2007–53 and including fuels identified in § 48B(c)(2) and any other fuel input) required by the Project for normal plant operations (as defined in section 3.04(2) of Notice 2007–53) for the production of chemical feedstocks, liquid transportation fuels, or co-production of electricity; and
- On [insert date of acceptance letter issued under section 4.02(9) of Notice 2007–53], the IRS accepted Taxpayer’s Application for § 48B Certification for the Project and allocated a qualifying gasification project credit under § 48B in the amount of $[insert number] to the Project.
NOW IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND AGREED FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES THAT:
The total amount of the qualifying gasification project credit to be claimed for the Project under § 48B(a) must not exceed $[insert the number in WHEREAS clause #3].
If the Project is not placed in service by Taxpayer within 7 years of [insert the date in WHEREAS clause #3], the qualifying gasification project credit in the amount of $[insert the number in WHEREAS clause #3] allocated to the Project is fully forfeited.
If the plans for the Project change in any significant respect from the plans set forth in the application for DOE certification (as defined in section 4.01 of Notice 2007–53) and the Application for § 48B Certification (as defined in section 4.01 of Notice 2007–53) and, under section 6.03 of Notice 2007–53, the acceptance of Taxpayer’s Application for § 48B Certification on [insert the date in WHEREAS clause #3] is void, the qualifying advanced coal project credit in the amount of $[insert the number in WHEREAS clause #3] allocated to the Project is fully forfeited.
(1) If the Project fails to use gasification technology as defined in § 48B(c)(2) or is not carried out by an eligible entity (as defined in section 3.02 of Notice 2007–53), the qualifying gasification project credit in the amount of $[insert the number in WHEREAS clause #3] allocated to the Project is fully forfeited.
(2) If, at any time, the fuels identified in § 48B(c)(2) with respect to the gasification technology for the Project do not cumulatively comprise at least 90 percent of the total fuel input (as defined in section 3.04(1) of Notice 2007–53 and including fuels identified in § 48B(c)(2) and any other fuel input) required by the Project for normal plant operations (as defined in section 3.04(2) of Notice 2007–53) for the production of chemical feedstocks, liquid transportation fuels, or co-production of electricity, the Project ceases to be investment credit property and the recapture rules of § 50(a) apply.
- Taxpayer will not claim the qualifying advanced coal project credit under § 48A for any qualified investment for which the qualifying gasification project credit is allowed under § 48B.
June 25, 2007 1480 2007–26 I.R.B.
If Taxpayer elects to claim the qualifying gasification project credit on the qualified progress expenditures paid or incurred by Taxpayer during the taxable year(s) during which the Project is under construction and if the Project ceases to be a qualifying gasification project (whether before, at the time, or after the Project is placed in service), rules similar to the recapture rules in § 50(a)(2)(A) through (D) apply.
This agreement applies only to Taxpayer. Any successor in interest must execute a new closing agreement with the IRS. If the interest is acquired at or before the time the Project is placed in service and the successor in interest fails to execute a new closing agreement, the qualifying gasification project credit in the amount of $[insert the number in WHEREAS clause #3] allocated to the Project is fully forfeited. If the interest is acquired after the time the Project is placed in service and the successor in interest fails to execute a new closing agreement, the Project ceases to be investment credit property and the recapture rules of § 50(a) apply.
THIS AGREEMENT IS FINAL AND CONCLUSIVE EXCEPT:
The matter it relates to may be reopened in the event of fraud, malfeasance, or misrepresentation of a material fact;
It is subject to the Internal Revenue Code sections that expressly provide that effect be given to their provisions (including any stated exception for § 7122) notwithstanding any law or rule of law; and
If it relates to a tax period ending after the date of this Closing Agreement, it is subject to any law enacted after such date, which applies to the tax period.
By signing, the parties certify that they have read and agreed to the terms of this Closing Agreement.

E. Evaluation Criteria:
Industrial Gasification Projects: will be evaluated on whether they meet all the requirements of § 48B.
Technical: will be evaluated on whether the applicant has demonstrated the capability to accomplish the technical objectives.
Site: will be evaluated on the basis that the site requirement for ownership or control has been met, and that the site is suitable for the proposed project.
Economic: will be evaluated on whether the project has demonstrated economic feasibility, taking into consideration the submitted financial and project development and structural information and financial plan.
Schedule: will be evaluated on the applicant’s ability to meet the 7 year placed-in-service requirement.
F. Program Policy Factors to be used by DOE in the evaluation of applications
Section 48B identifies minimum requirements for consideration for the qualifying gasification project credit, including the project’s technical feasibility, cost, and applicant’s ability. In the event that there are more qualified (certifiable) applications than there are available tax credits, the DOE will apply additional factors to rank eligible projects based on their ability to advance the deployment of industrial gasification technology beyond its current state.
If there are two or more certified applications than available credits, DOE will rank the certified projects in descending order (that is, first, second, third, etc.), based on evaluation of the following Program Policy Factors. Factors 1, 2, and 3 are Primary Ranking Factors. A certified project that satisfies one of these factors will be ranked ahead of each project that satisfies only factors listed below that factor. Specifically, all certified projects satisfying Factor 1 will be selected before any project that does not satisfy Factor 1; all projects satisfying Factor 2 will be ranked ahead of any project that satisfies only Factor 3 and/or one or more Secondary Ranking Factors; and all projects satisfying Factor 3 will be ranked ahead of any project that does not satisfy any Primary Ranking Factors.
Primary Ranking Factors:
- Capture and sequestration of 50 percent or more of carbon dioxide emissions. Only projects capturing and sequestering 50 percent or more of the plant’s carbon dioxide emissions will satisfy this factor. Within this factor, higher rankings will be given to those projects capturing and sequestering higher percentages of plant carbon dioxide emissions.
June 25, 2007 1486 2007–26 I.R.B.
Use of advanced technologies that optimize the plant for future carbon dioxide capture (for example, gasifier sizing and pressure, air separation unit sizing, and quench system) as well as systems that are designed to capture and sequester less than 50 percent of the carbon dioxide. Within this factor, higher rankings will be given to those projects capturing and sequestering higher percentages of plant carbon dioxide emissions and/or requiring less retrofitting to implement greater than 50 percent carbon capture and sequestration.
Location of the facility within 25 miles of potential carbon sequestration locations and carbon dioxide (CO2) pipelines or pipeline easements. Within this factor, higher rankings will be given to those projects with the facility located closer to potential carbon sequestration locations and carbon dioxide (CO2) pipelines or pipeline easements.
Secondary Ranking Factors:
• Location of the facility relative to potential carbon sequestration locations and…¶
ments (for facilities not meeting Factor 3).
• Presentation of other environmental, economic, or performance benefits (including…¶
5.02(9) of Notice 2007–53 and are not included in the Primary Ranking Factors).
• Higher plant efficiency. • Geographic distribution of potential markets. • The ratio…¶

Technology and Technical Information
• It is important that the applicant select a specific gasification system for their…¶
provide the necessary specific design information needed for DOE to evaluate the project feasibility with respect to performance, emissions, outputs of major streams as well as capital and operating costs.
Project Economics
• Applicants should demonstrate the project’s economic feasibility and financial…¶
explanation of the economic and financial assumptions made by the applicant, and a financial forecast for the project. The financial forecast should flow logically from the applicant’s assumptions and be consistent with them. Applicants should include assumptions regarding financial and economic issues that may not be included in the project costs but have a direct impact on the project. The examples given in the “Site Control and Ownership” section are relevant here and their impact on the project economics should be discussed here.
Project Development and Financial Plan
• The information provided by the applicant in this section should demonstrate that the…¶
the project is feasible and that the applicant will have access to necessary financing. The applicant should explain the source and timing for obtaining all financing, including the project development costs. It is important that the applicant explain and provide evidence that it has the capacity to fund the pre-construction project development costs, together with a budget for and description of those costs. Note that financial information is required for the applicant and for any other funding source.
Project Contract Structure
• This section requires that the applicant demonstrate an understanding of the…¶
in establishing the framework of contracts and agreements that a project typically requires. Applicants should show that their intended contract structure is reasonable and that their assumptions relative to price, terms, and conditions are consistent with current market conditions. Evidence of final agreements, agreements in principle, or summaries of terms and conditions between the applicant and contract counterparties should be provided, if available.
