SEC. 2. PROMOTION OF USE OF BIOMASS REMOVED 
THROUGH 
HAZARDOUS 
FUEL 
REDUCTION 
PROJECTS AS ENERGY SOURCE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) Large-scale insect infestations in several re-
gions of the United States, combined with other fac-
tors, such as accumulation of fuel materials, in-
creased settlement in and near forested areas, and 
prolonged drought, have increased the likelihood of 
unusually severe wildfires that pose a threat to lives 
and property in nearby communities. 
(2) The Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 
2003 (Public Law 108–148; 16 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.) 
is intended to facilitate removal of biomass from for-
est lands, particularly those located within the 
wildland-urban interface, in order to reduce the fuels 
for severe wildfires. 
(3) Reducing the risk of severe wildfires would 
be further facilitated if the biomass removed in con-
nection with hazardous fuel reduction projects under 
the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 were 
considered a source of renewable fuel for purposes of 
the renewable fuel standard established by subtitle A 
of title II of the Energy Independence and Security 
Act of 2007 (Public Law 110–140).
