Promote & protect the interests of natural gas utilities in any legislation considered by the House Energy & Commerce Committee and the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee regarding energy and climate legislation affecting natural gas utilities, including efficiency mandates and NGV Market Development. These issues arose in all of the following: H.R. 2043 - Home Owner Managing Energy Savings Act (HOMES) This measure would create incentives to invest in energy efficiency improvements. Specifically, if enacted, the legislation would allow homeowners who invest in energy efficiency improvements to receive the following rebates if they meet the specified energy savings targets: oFor a retrofit which achieves 20-40% energy savings - $2,500 oFor a deep retrofit which achieves 40% or more energy savings - $5,000 AGA is working to ensure that the measure does not have the unintended consequence of promoting fuel switching from natural gas to electric end-use applications. Repeal of Section 433 AGA continues to advocate for the repeal of Section 433 which provides for the elimination of the use of fossil fuels in federal buildings. Vehicles include Hoeven-Manchin and/or a House equivalent that are likely to be reintroduced in the coming weeks. Climate Change Climate change has generated a tremendous amount of discussion in Congress during the 2nd quarter. AGA continues to promote the role of natural gas in the climate discussion by educating Members of Congress and their staff on its benefits and ability to reduce carbon emissions over time. Clean Water Act - Guidance on Section 401 The streamlining of the 401 certification process in accordance with Executive Order 13868 allows for the protection of Americans water quality and greater investment in national infrastructure projects. Clearing the way for the development of these infrastructure projects will allow for more natural gas pipelines and greater access to natural gas for Americans.

A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend certain expiring provisions, to provide disaster tax relief, and for other purposes.
Client: AMERICAN GAS ASSOCIATION · Firm: AMERICAN GAS ASSOCIATION
* Support lower rates on taxation of dividends. * Protect the interests of the natural gas industry with respect to any tax reform proposals. * Promote keeping Interest Deductibility in the tax code for LDCs. * Educating Congress regarding impact of tax extenders on LDCs. * Promote the development of the natural gas vehicle market by supporting various incentives. * Tax Extenders: Congress is currently seeking to renew and extend tax provisions that have expired or are set to expire. Two of these expired provisions provide incentives for the purchase of high efficiency natural gas equipment. *** 25(C) provides a tax credit for upgrading to high efficiency natural gas appliances in residential properties *** 179(D) provides a tax deduction for energy efficiency improvements in commercial properties. *** This issue arose in: S 617, Tax Extender and Disaster Relief Act of 2019 * Tax Credits: The carryover of excess corporate charitable contributions. This issue arose in H.R.1686 to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend the limitation on the carryover of excess corporate charitable contributions by regulated public utilities, and to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend the limitation on the carryover of excess corporate charitable contributions. This bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code to increase the carryover period for charitable contributions from 5 years to 20 years. Increasing the 5 year carryover period to 20 years would eliminate the penalty present in current law that is particularly problematic for our some utilities, which operate in regulated industries and generally make significant annual charitable contributions to community charities in their operating jurisdictions. This issue is more acute for companies in our industries - regulated electric and gas utilities - because we are among the most capital intensive industries in the country. Each year, the electric and gas utilities are spending more than $100 billion in investments to improve system safety and reliability while offering an important source of much-needed, high-quality jobs.
