2060-AU82 202010 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2060 Office of Air and Radiation OAR 2000 Environmental Protection Agency EPA Renewable Fuel Standard Program: Standards for 2021, Biomass-Based Diesel Volumes for 2022

Under section 211 of the Clean Air Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to set renewable fuel percentage standards every year. This action establishes the annual percentage standards for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel that apply to gasoline and diesel transportation fuel produced or imported in the year 2021. Relying on statutory waiver authority that is available when the projected cellulosic biofuel production volume is less than the applicable volume specified in the statute, EPA is establishing volume requirements for cellulosic biofuel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel that are below the statutory volume targets. We are also establishing the applicable volume of biomass-based diesel for 2022.
