Title: Technical Guidelines for the Production of Regenerative Agricultural Biofuel Feedstocks 
Abstract:

USDA previously issued an Interim Final Rule (IFR) before the start of this Administration to establish new regulations that will set requirements for the quantification, reporting, and verification of low-carbon, domestic agricultural biofuel feedstocks. The rule may create additional opportunities to produce low-carbon agricultural feedstocks sourcing biofuels, and may provide added-value market opportunities for farmers producing biofuel feedstock cropsIn addition, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21) includes and extends the 45Z tax credit, administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury. This rule can inform this tax policy in ways that will support the agricultural economy.
