2016-12-14; vol. 81 # 240 - Wednesday, December 14, 201681 FR 90294 - Notice of Data Availability Concerning the Renewables Enhancement and Growth Support Rule
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2016-29896 RIN2060-AS66 EPA-HQ-OAR-2016-0041 FRL-9956-44-OAR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Notice of data availability. Comments. Comments must be received on or before January 17, 2017. 40 CFR Parts 79 and 80 SummaryThis Notice provides an opportunity to comment on new information that pertains to the proposed provisions for ethanol flex fuel contained in the Renewables Enhancement and Growth Support (REGS) rule which was published in the Federal Register on November 16, 2016. The new information is contained in the report titled “Property Analysis of Ethanol—Natural Gasoline—BOB Blends to Make Flex Fuel” that has been placed in the public docket for this action. In the proposed REGS rule, the EPA proposed volatility standards for ethanol flex fuel (EFF) to prevent excessive evaporative emissions that could adversely affect the emissions control systems of flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) and human health. The EPA proposed a fuel volatility compliance tool for use by regulated entities to demonstrate compliance with the proposed volatility standards for EFF. The new information being made available by this notice indicates that the proposed compliance tool may need to be modified to adequately estimate the volatility of EFF when natural gasoline is used as a blendstock.
2016-12-12; vol. 81 # 238 - Monday, December 12, 201681 FR 89746 - Renewable Fuel Standard Program: Standards for 2017 and Biomass-Based Diesel Volume for 2018
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2016-28879 RIN2060-AS72 EPA-HQ-OAR-2016-0004 FRL-9955-84-OAR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Final rule. This final rule is effective on February 10, 2017. 40 CFR Part 80 SummaryUnder 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 all motor vehicle gasoline and diesel produced or imported in the year 2017. Relying on statutory authority that is available when projected cellulosic biofuel production volumes are less than the applicable volume specified in the statute, the EPA is setting volume requirements for cellulosic biofuel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel that are below the statutory applicable volumes, but which are nevertheless significantly higher than past requirements. The final rule also establishes the four percentage standards applicable to obligated parties, namely producers and importers of gasoline and diesel, based on the corresponding volume requirements. The final standards are expected to continue driving the market to overcome constraints in renewable fuel distribution infrastructure, which in turn is expected to lead to substantial growth over time in the production and use of renewable fuels. In this action, we are also establishing the applicable volume of biomass-based diesel for 2018.
2016-11-22; vol. 81 # 225 - Tuesday, November 22, 201681 FR 83776 - Notice of Opportunity to Comment on Proposed Denial of Petitions for Rulemaking To Change the RFS Point of Obligation
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2016-27854 RIN EPA-HQ-OAR-2016-0544 FRL-9955-36-OAR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Petitions for rulemaking. Written comments must be received on or before January 23, 2017. 40 CFR Part 80 SummaryThe Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to deny several petitions requesting that EPA initiate a rulemaking process to reconsider or change its regulations that identify refiners and importers of gasoline and diesel fuel as the entities responsible for complying with the annual percentage standards adopted under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program. EPA is providing an opportunity for the public to comment on the petitions we have received and on our proposed denial of the requests to initiate rulemaking.
2016-11-16; vol. 81 # 221 - Wednesday, November 16, 201681 FR 80828 - Renewables Enhancement and Growth Support Rule
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2016-25292 RIN2060-AS66 EPA-HQ-OAR-2016-0041 FRL-9953-79-OAR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Proposed rule. Comments . Comments must be received on or before January 17, 2017. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), comments on the information collection provisions are best assured of consideration if the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) receives a copy of your comments on or before December 16, 2016. Hearings . The EPA will hold a public hearing on this proposal. Details will be provided in a separate announcement. 40 CFR Parts 79 and 80 SummaryIn this action, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to update both its renewable fuels and other fuels regulations to reflect changes in the marketplace and to promote the growing use of both ethanol fuels (conventional and advanced) and non-ethanol advanced and cellulosic biofuels. The EPA is proposing to make several changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program regulations that would align them with recent developments in the marketplace to increase production of cellulosic and other advanced biofuels. There are several companies that have developed renewable fuel production technologies that produce a “biointermediate” at one facility that is then processed into renewable fuel at another facility, and we are proposing regulatory changes to allow fuels produced through such methods to qualify under existing approved renewable fuel production pathways. This action also proposes to update our fuel regulations by defining fuel blends containing 16 to 83 volume percent ethanol as ethanol flex fuel (EFF) and to no longer treat fuel blends containing 16 to 50 volume percent ethanol as gasoline. The EPA is proposing environmentally protective fuel quality specifications for EFF that are consistent with those already in place for gasoline. In this action we are also proposing new pathways for cellulosic biofuel produced from short-rotation trees and for renewable diesel and biodiesel produced from non-cellulosic portions of separated food waste. We are also proposing to add new registration, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements for facilities using carbon capture and storage if we were to approve the use of this technology in future assessments of proposed pathways for producing qualifying renewable fuel. We are also seeking comment on how best to implement and/or revise the RFS regulations pertaining to the generation of RINs for renewable electricity used as transportation fuel. Finally, we are proposing a number of other regulatory changes, clarifications, and technical corrections to the RFS program and other fuels regulations.

The two components are an extension of the compliance demonstration deadline for the 2013 renewable fuel standards, and the associated deadline for submission of attest engagement reports for the 2013 renewable fuel standards. The new deadlines are September 30, 2014 and January 30, 2015, respectively. This action ensures timely amendment of existing deadlines, before compliance obligations would otherwise go into effect.
