The bill extends the exemption from the excise tax on alternative motorboat fuels to include certain vessels serving only one coast.

  • Section 4041(g)

    For purposes of subsection (a)(2), the exemption under paragraph (1) shall also apply to fuel sold for use or used by a vessel which is both described in section 4042(c)(1) and actually engaged in trade between the Atlantic or Pacific ports of the United States (including any territory or possession of the United States).

    This addition allows certain vessels that operate solely on one coast to qualify for the fuel tax exemption.
