        There is hereby imposed a tax on the sale of aviation fuel by
      the producer or the importer thereof or by any producer of
      aviation fuel.
      (2) Use treated as sale
        For purposes of paragraph (1), if any producer uses aviation
      fuel (other than for a nontaxable use as defined in section
      6427(l)(2)(B)) on which no tax has been imposed under such
      paragraph or on which tax has been credited or refunded, then
      such use shall be considered a sale.
    (b) Rate of tax
      (1) In general
        The rate of the tax imposed by subsection (a) shall be 21.8
      cents per gallon.
      (2) Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund tax
        The rate of tax specified in paragraph (1) shall be increased
      by 0.1 cent per gallon.  The increase in tax under this paragraph
      shall in this title be referred to as the Leaking Underground
      Storage Tank Trust Fund financing rate.
      (3) Termination
        (A) The rate of tax specified in paragraph (1) shall be 4.3
      cents per gallon -
          (i) after December 31, 1996, and before the date which is 7
        days after the date of the enactment of the Airport and Airway
        Trust Fund Tax Reinstatement Act of 1997, and
          (ii) after September 30, 2007.
        (B) The Leaking Underground Storage Tank Fund financing rate
      shall not apply during any period during which the Leaking
      Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund financing rate under section
      4081 does not apply.
    (c) Reduced rate of tax for aviation fuel in alcohol mixture, etc.
      Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary -
      (1) In general
        The rate of tax under subsection (a) shall be reduced by the
      applicable blender amount per gallon in the case of the sale of
      any mixture of aviation fuel if -
          (A) at least 10 percent of such mixture consists of alcohol
        (as defined in section 4081(c)(3)), and
          (B) the aviation fuel in such mixture was not taxed under

        In the case of the sale of aviation fuel for use (at the time
      of such sale) in producing a mixture described in paragraph (1),
      the rate of tax under subsection (a) shall be 10/9 of the rate
      which would (but for this paragraph) have been applicable to such
      mixture had such mixture been created prior to such sale.
      (3) Later separation
        If any person separates the aviation fuel from a mixture of the
      aviation fuel and alcohol on which tax was imposed under
      subsection (a) at a rate determined under paragraph (1) or (2)
      (or with respect to which a credit or payment was allowed or made
      by reason of section 6427(f)(1)), such person shall be treated as
      the producer of such aviation fuel.  The amount of tax imposed on
      any sale of such aviation fuel by such person shall be reduced by
      the amount of tax imposed (and not credited or refunded) on any
      prior sale of such fuel.
      (4) Limitation
        In no event shall any rate determined under paragraph (1) be
      less than 4.3 cents per gallon.
      (5) Termination
        Paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply to any sale after
      September 30, 2007.
    (d) Refund of tax-paid aviation fuel to registered producer of fuel
      If -
        (1) a producer of aviation fuel is registered under section
      4101, and
        (2) such producer establishes to the satisfaction of the
      Secretary that a prior tax was paid (and not credited or
      refunded) on aviation fuel held by such producer,
    then an amount equal to the tax so paid shall be allowed as a
    refund (without interest) to such producer in the same manner as if
    it were an overpayment of tax imposed by this section.
