SMACNA Comments Aug 14 2023

Transferability and Direct Pay Proposed Rule

SMACNA comments in support of the Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) and the U.S. Treasury Department’s (“Treasury”) Proposed Rules, “Section 6418 Transfer of Certain Credits,” 88 Fed. Reg. 40496 (June 21, 2023) (hereafter “Transferability Proposed Rule”) and “Section 6417 Elective Payment of Applicable Credits,” 88 Fed. Reg. 40528 (June 21, 2023) (hereafter “Direct Pay Proposed Rule”). 

SMACNA fully supports the IRA, including but not limited to the Direct Pay (Section 6417) and Transferability (Section 6418) provisions.  Before these amendments, it was not possible to monetize federal tax credits generated by renewable energy projects outside of tax equity financing structures. The Direct Pay and Transferability Provisions allow new investors to enter the market, creating a broader and more diverse market to finance projects more quickly and affordably.


SMART/SMACNA Comments Aug 14 2023

Transferability (Section 6418 Transfer of Certain Credits) Proposed Rule

SMART and SMACNA address transferability from two perspectives: first, as supporters of compliance with prevailing wage requirements for the protection of workers and to protect signatory contractors who comply with labor standards from underbidding by violators of these prevailing wage standards; and second, as supporters of small businesses who will benefit from tax credits and create “good”[1] union jobs in communities.

Guideline to Information Technology

More than 40 percent of construction companies do not have a dedicated information technology (IT) department, according to J.B. Knowledge's recently published Construction Technology Report.

SMACNA's new "Guideline to Information Technology" addresses this gap by providing members with guidance on the proper combination of standardized hardware, software, and connectivity. This easy-to-read, 39-page document also includes two critical appendices: A Sample Disaster Recovery Plan and a Sample Information Technology Policy and Procedures Manual.
