_______________ 
 
 TITLE: Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: 2013 Cellulosic Biofuel Standard 
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
ACTION: Direct final rule 
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct final action to revise the 
2013 cellulosic biofuel standard published on 15 August 2013. This action follows from EPA having 
granted two petitioners' requests for reconsideration of the 2013 cellulosic biofuel standard. EPA 
granted reconsideration because one of the two companies that EPA expected to produce cellulosic biofuel in 2013 announced soon after EPA signed its final rule that it intended to produce 
substantially lower volumes of cellulosic biofuel in 2013 than it had earlier reported to EPA. Since 
the cellulosic biofuel standard was based on EPA's projection of cellulosic biofuel production in 
2013, EPA deemed this new information to be of central relevance to the rule, warranting reconsideration. On reconsideration, EPA is directed to base the standard on the lower of 
"projected" production of cellulosic fuel in 2013 or the cellulosic biofuel applicable volume set forth 
in the statute. Since data are available to show actual production volumes for 2013, EPA's 
"projection" and final rule are based on actual ce llulosic biofuel production in 2013. This action 
only affects the 2013 cellulosic biofuel standard; all other RFS standards remain unchanged. EPA is 
finalizing a revised cellulosic biofuel standard of 0.0005% for 2013. 
DATES: This rule is effective on 1 July 2014 with out further notice, unless EPA receives relevant 
adverse comment by 2 June 2014. If EPA receives relevant adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal of this direct final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that this rule will not take effect.

Measure:  
Amendment to the Banking Ordinance of 3 0 April 2 014 (RS 952.02)  
Description:  
The amendment to the Banking Ordinance aims to encourage innovation by reducing certain 
market access barriers for fintech service  provider s. The amendment applies both to fintech 
service  provider s and to traditional financial service  provider s. 
The acceptance of deposits  from the public up to CHF 1  million  is no longer considered a 
professional activity and does not require authorization. As a result, providers are able to  test 
business model s before applying for authoriz ation, which is required once accepted deposits 
exceed CHF 1  million . 
The exception for the acceptance of funds for settlement purposes now explicitly applies to 
transa ctions settled within 60 days , instead of seven days as had previously been the practice , 
unless the  customer  accounts of securities dealers  are involved . S/C/N/897
