September 19, 2024: IRS Proposed Rule and New IRS Guidance Document on the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit

Yesterday, The Department of Treasury (Treasury) and The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released pre-publication text of a proposed rule (NPRM) to provide guidance for the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit as amended by the Inflation Reduction Act for “qualified alternative fuel vehicle refueling property.” The NPRM will publish in today’s Federal Register, subject to a 60-day comment period.

MCAA Expands Head Protection Efforts with Hard Hats to Helmets (H2H) Support

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are responsible for 25% of all construction fatalities, and many life-altering injuries. That’s why MCAA’s Safety & Health Initiative is supporting the efforts of Hard Hats to Helmets (H2H), a group that is addressing TBIs in construction by advocating for the conversion from hard hats to safety helmets.

H2H is a home for information, communication, and awareness of the benefits of providing construction workers with the most effective head protection available. The H2H website highlights the benefits of transitioning from hard hats to helmets and provides technical and regulatory information, creating an efficient landing spot for contractors to review helmet manufacturer information and share success stories.

MCAA’s Head Protection Video, which demonstrates the impact of objects dropped from 30′ both with and without head protection, was recently highlighted on the H2H site. MCAA members can view and download the video in both English and Spanish.

The H2H support is MCAA’s latest effort to improve head protection in our industry. Earlier this year, MCAA announced a multi-year partnership with the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab to develop the first ratings system for safety helmets. By supporting research that delivers objective data, MCAA is providing another tool to simplify member decision-making when discussing converting form hard hats to helmets.

Note: Hard Hats to Helmets (H2H) should not be confused with Helmets to Hardhats, which connects veterans with careers. Aside from having similar names, the two are unrelated.

Dues Increase Coming in 2025

The 2025 dues rates for MCAA and MSCA member construction and service hours will increase to $.10 per labor hour effective January 1, 2025. The minimum dues assessment is based upon 12,000 hours ($1,200) per branch office, and the maximum assessment is 300,000 hours ($30,000) per branch office. New dues reporting forms will be provided in advance of the January 1 date. Watch MCAA.org and the National Update for an announcement.

National Service and Maintenance Agreement (NSMA) signatory contractors’ contribution rate will also increase to $.10 per labor hour effective January 1, 2025. The minimum of 8,000 hours ($800) per office will remain the same. There is no maximum for NSMA signators.
