Qualifications
Before making a qualified investment, a taxpayer shall apply to the Secretary of Commerce to enter into an agreement for this tax credit. After receipt of the application, the Secretary of Commerce may enter into an agreement with the applicant for a credit if it is determined that the taxpayer’s proposed investment satisfies the requirements.

The credit is 10 percent of the taxpayer’s qualified investment for the first $10 million invested, and five percent of the amount of the taxpayer’s qualified investment that exceeds $10 million. The credit will be taken in ten equal, annual installments, beginning with the year in which the taxpayer places into service the storage and blending equipment.
Limitation of Credit
If the amount of the credit exceeds the taxpayer’s tax liability in any one taxable year, the remaining portion of the credit may be carried forward until the total amount of the credit is used, except that no such tax credit shall be carried over for deduction after the 14th taxable year after the taxable year in which the first annual installment is allowed.
