Title: Identification of Additional Qualifying Renewable Fuel Pathways III and Modification to the Renewable Fuels Program | |
Abstract: The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) 2 program was required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007), which amended the Clean Air Act (CAA). The final regulations for RFS2 were published in the Federal Register on March 26, 2010 (75 FR 14670). EPA has previously published clarifications and modifications, technical amendments, and new pathways, to the final RFS2 regulations. This proposed regulation would provide additional clarifications, modifications, and technical amendments to RFS2 and will clarify, modify and technically amend other fuels programs in 40 CFR part 80. This proposed action would also propose amendments to table 1 to section 80.1426 of the RFS2 regulations to include additional fuel pathways and assign each pathway a D-Code. It would allow producers or importers of fuel produced under these pathways to generate renewable identification numbers under the program, providing that the fuel meets the other requirements for renewable fuel. This proposed action would outline EPA's lifecycle greenhouse gas evaluation, specified in Clean Air Act section 211(o), as amended by EISA for several new pathways. | |
