## Cover Letter

Honorable Administrator Jackson, KiOR is pleased to submit an interrelated set of six Premanufacturing Notifications (PMNs) concerning development of renewable drop-in fuels (CAS numbers 1267611-99-3, 1267611-06-2, 1267611-35-7, 1267611-14-2, 1267611- 11-9, and 1267611-71-1) under the guidance of David Schutz, our PMN pre-notice coordinator. Briefly, we are a next-generation biofuels company capable of producing a renewable crude oil substitute that can be processed using conventional refining equipment to yield analogs of traditional fuels that can be “dropped-in” to the existing conventional fuel infrastructure. Biomass is converted to a renewable crude, which is processed to yield a fossil fuel crude oil analog that may be conventionally distilled to generate naphtha, kerosene, diesel, and residual fossil fuel analogs. This provides several benefits consistent with the 2011 Standards for the Renewable Fuel Standard Program: reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil, significantly reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and ‘drop-in’ compatibility with current fuel production and distribution infrastructure and used in vehicles on the road today (please see the attachment “Cover Letter” for further information). Although these substances are chemically similar to existing commercial products, their origin and processing is unique. For that reason we are filing these PMNs. We thank you for your consideration of these interrelated PMNs.

Representative Chemical Structure.png Page 5 SANITIZED SUBMISSIONDistillates (lignocellulosic), C5-40

1267611-99-3

A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained from a lignocellulosic feedstock by thermocatalytic conversion followed by hydrotreatment. It consists predominantly of branched, cyclic, and linear aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons having carbon numbers in the range of C5 to C40 and boiling in the range of approximately 21° C to 538°C (70°F to 1000°F).

Branched aliphatics 5-18% Linear aliphatics 2-12% Cyclic aliphatics (cycloalkanes) 20-40% Aromatics 30-45%
