Summary: Republic Services, Inc., a waste management company, urges the Treasury and IRS to include a project on the 2026-2027 Priority Guidance Plan to modernize the excise tax treatment of fuel used for "power take-off" (PTO) equipment. They argue that the current "separate-motor" requirement is outdated, creates an undue tax burden on modern single-engine vehicles, and should be replaced with a fuel-neutral, function-based framework.
