The Secretary of the Treasury may authorize exemption from the

tax imposed by section 4481 as to the use by the United States of

any particular highway motor vehicle, or class of highway motor

Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, no tax shall be

imposed by section 4481 on the use of any bus which is of the

(A) In general

In the case of an agricultural vehicle, paragraphs (1) and

place it appears.
