The maximum tax credit specified in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph for a producer qualifying under this subparagraph shall be increased to the amount available to the producer under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph plus the additional amount authorized under this subparagraph.  The additional maximum amount authorized shall be computed by multiplying the percentage increase in expanded production by the maximum tax credit which the producer is eligible to receive under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph.  For any ethanol producer meeting the requirements of this subparagraph, each expansion of production after July 1, 2003, of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the most recent prior production shall qualify for the additional time and additional maximum credit authorized in this subparagraph.".
