        <RULE_TITLE>Modifications to Renewable Fuel Standard and Diesel Sulfur Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rule will qualify a fuel oil that is used to heat residential, business, commercial, industrial, or military buildings. This would not include fuel oils used to generate process heat, power, or other functions. The fuel oil would be used to generate heat to warm buildings or other facilities where people live, work, recreate, or conduct other activities. This amends the existing definition of heating oil in 40 CFR section 80.1401 to include these fuel oils. This is in addition to the fuel oils currently included in the definition of heating oil, and does not modify or limit the fuel included in the current definition. This rule also applies specific recordkeeping requirements to verify the fuel is used in approved applications. EPA is also amending the requirements under EPA's diesel sulfur program related to the sulfur content of locomotive and marine diesel fuel produced by transmix processors.  These amendments will allow locomotive and marine diesel fuel produced by transmix processors to meet a maximum 500 parts per million (ppm) sulfur standard provided that; the fuel is used in older technology locomotive and marine engines that do not require 15 ppm sulfur diesel fuel, the fuel is used outside of the Northeast Mid-Atlantic Area, and the fuel is kept segregated from other fuel.  These amendments will provide significant regulatory relief for transmix processors while having a neutral or net positive environmental impact.  EPA is also amending the fuel marker requirements for 500 ppm sulfur locomotive and marine (LM) diesel fuel to address an oversight in the original rulemaking where the regulations failed to incorporate provisions described in the rulemaking preamble to allow for solvent yellow 124 marker to transition out of the distribution system.]]></ABSTRACT>
