Section 43(b)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code requires the Secretary to publish an inflation adjustment factor. The enhanced oil recovery credit under § 43 for any taxable year is reduced if the “reference price,” determined under § 29(d)(2)(C), for the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the taxable year begins, is greater than $28 multiplied by the inflation adjustment factor for that year.
The term “inflation adjustment factor” means, with respect to any calendar year, a fraction the numerator of which is the GNP implicit price deflator for the preceding calendar year and the denominator of which is the GNP implicit price deflator for 1990.
Because the reference price for the 2003 calendar year ($27.56) does not exceed $28 multiplied by the inflation adjustment factor for the 2004 calendar year, the enhanced oil recovery credit for qualified costs paid or incurred in 2004 is determined without regard to the phase-out for crude oil price increases.
Table 1 contains the GNP implicit price deflator used for the 2004 calendar year, as well as the previously published GNP implicit price deflators used for the 1991 through 2003 calendar years.

** Beginning in 1997, two digits follow the decimal point in the GNP implicit price deflator. The 1990 GNP price deflator used to compute the 1998 § 43 inflation adjustment factor is 93.63.
*** Beginning in 1999, the GNP implicit price deflator was rebased relative to 1996. The 1990 GNP implicit price deflator used to compute the 2000 § 43 inflation adjustment factor is 86.53.
Table 2 contains the inflation adjustment factor and the phase-out amount for taxable years beginning in the 2004 calendar year as well as the previously published inflation adjustment factors and phase-out amounts for taxable years beginning in 1991 through 2003 calendar years.
