Here's the explanation we go fr=m Crapo's tax guy

The conference report language is now posted =n the House Rules Committee website. Tony may have already told you =uys, since he was in the conference, but we found out from Team Hatch as t=e conference wrapped up that our USVI provisions had to be dropped out.Q=A0 Tony may more insight but apparently JCT ultimately determined that the=language as written would also apply to Puerto Rico, leading to a revised =core of $3.9 billion, which was more than they could accommodate in the bi=l. When they tried to find a way to adjust the language to only appl= to the VI, they found it couldn't be done without it being consid=red an ineligible tax earmark. I'm still waiting for more de=ails about how and why JCT ended up with this new interpretation. Bu= sadly it appears after all our efforts we are now back to the drawing boa=d.
