(a) In the case of any taxpayer that (i) places in service, within any targeted area, as defined by § 2020(1)a. through d.
of this title, a qualified facility in which the taxpayer is engaged in a qualified activity described in § 2010(3) of this
title, and (ii) thereby satisfies the requirements contained in § 2011(a) of this title for the allowance of a credit against
the tax imposed by Chapter 19 of this title (relating to corporation income tax) for the taxable year of the taxpayer in which
such qualified facility is placed in service by the taxpayer, § 2011 of this title shall be applied with respect to such qualified
facility by substituting "$650" for "$400" in § 2011(b)(1) and (2) of this title.
(b) In the case of any taxpayer that (i) places in service, only within any of the targeted areas as defined by § 2020(1)d.
of this title, a facility in which the taxpayer is engaged in a commercial activity or retail activity, and (ii) would thereby
satisfy the requirements contained in § 2011(a) of this title for the allowance of a credit against the tax imposed by Chapter
19 of this title (relating to corporation income tax) for the taxable year of the taxpayer in which such facility is placed
in service by the taxpayer if such facility were a qualified facility by virtue of its use by the taxpayer in or in connection
with such commercial activity or retail activity, § 2011 of this title shall be applied with respect to such facility by treating
it as a qualified facility.
(c) In the case of any taxpayer that (1) places in service, within any targeted area, as defined by § 2020(1) of this title,
a qualified facility in which the taxpayer is engaged in a qualified activity described in § 2010(3) of this title, and (2)

and (f) of this title. The credit claimed in any tax year (including amounts carried over from previous tax years) shall not
exceed the difference between $500,000 and the amount of credits claimed under § 2022 of this title for the 12 months comprising
said tax year. Amounts of credit not used by virtue of the preceding sentence may be carried forward as if such unused credits
arose by virtue of § 2011(f) of this title. No taxpayer may be eligible for credit under both this subsection and subsection
(a) of this section for the same facility.
(d) In the case of a qualified facility located on a brownfield within any targeted area, (i) "$900" shall be substituted
for "$650" in subsection (a) of this section with respect to such qualified facility, and (ii) in applying this section, there
shall be treated as a qualified activity any business, trade, commerce, profession or vocation carried on or in connection
with such qualified facility, and there shall be treated as additional qualified investment all amounts expended by the taxpayer
for environmental investigation and remediation of the brownfield. The total incremental credits allowable to the taxpayer
under this subsection shall not exceed the appropriate amount expended by the taxpayer for environmental investigation and
remediation of the brownfield. If the provisions of this subsection apply with respect to any qualified facility, the provisions
of § 2011(l) of this title shall not apply with respect to such qualified facility.
