The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is extending the public hearing on proposed regulations for the Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit.
To accommodate the volume of interested parties, the agency has expanded the originally scheduled May 28 hearing into a three-day event running from May 27 through May 29, 2026.
The underlying proposed rules dictate the financial mechanics of clean fuel production credits, including eligibility rules, baseline emissions rates, and the necessary certification and registration requirements.
The window to request speaking time closed on April 6, 2026.
Those wishing to observe the proceedings without testifying must navigate a strict scheduling and access framework, registering via email by 5:00 p.m. ET on May 22, 2026.
On Wednesday, May 27, proceedings begin at 09:00 a.m. ET. The hearing will be held in-person at the IRS Building auditorium in Washington, DC, with a telephone attendance option.
For Thursday, May 28, the morning session allows in-person attendance, but the afternoon session restricts telephone access only.
Friday, May 29, is reserved exclusively for telephone participation.
Regarding facility security, in-person attendees must enter via the Constitution Avenue entrance and present valid photo identification.
Access beyond the immediate entrance area is prohibited until 30 minutes prior to the hearing's start time.
