Current through June 25, 2024
For use in this regulation, the following terms and
						definitions apply. The word "shall" indicates mandatory requirements of this
						regulation.
1. Alcohol-means methanol,
					 ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, n-propanol (n-propyl alcohol), and any form of
					 butyl alcohol (butanol).
2.
					 Biodiesel-means an oxygenated fuel comprised of mono-alkyl esters of long chain
					 fatty acids from biologically derived oil and fats and shall be designated B100
					 that meet the current requirements for fuels and fuel additives under 40 CFR
					 Part 79.
3. Biodiesel Blends -means
					 a fuel comprised of a blend of biodiesel with petroleum-based diesel
					 fuel.
4. Biomass-Based Diesel means
					 a conventional diesel fuel substitute produced from nonpetroleum renewable
					 resources that meets the current requirements for fuels and fuel additives
					 established by the Environmental Protection Agency under
					 42 U.S.C.
					 7545, except that the term does not include
					 biodiesel as defined above, and shall be designated 100% Biomass-Based
					 Diesel.
5. Biomass-Based Diesel
					 Blend means a fuel comprised of a blend of biomassbased diesel with
					 petroleum-based diesel fuel. Biomass-Based Diesel Blends shall be identified as
					 XX% Biomass-Based Diesel Blend, where the XX represents the volume percentage
					 of biomass based diesel fuel in the blend.
6. Certificate of Analysis (COA) or
					 Certificate of Full Specification Analysis-a document issued by the producer
					 showing that biodiesel and biodiesel blends meet the requirements and
					 specifications set forth in this regulation. The certificate must contain the
					 date of certification and may not be older than 90 days from the date of issue.
					 The testing may be performed by either the producer, importer or an independent
					 laboratory; but, it must be conducted per 300,000 gallons of produced biodiesel
					 and biodiesel blend or every 90 days, whichever comes first. B21 through B99
					 certification must be conducted per 300,000 gallons of B21 through B99 produced
					 or every 90 days, whichever comes first. A COA will not be required for a
					 biodiesel blend if a producer has a current COA for biodiesel and petroleum
					 diesel used to make the biodiesel blend.
7. Cetane number
-
means a
					 numerical measure of the ignition performance of a diesel fuel obtained by
					 comparing it to reference fuels in a standardized engine test.
8. Distributor/Retailer/Marketer-means an
					 entity engaged in the business of the distribution and/or sale of biodiesel
					 and/or biodiesel blends B1, and/or biomassbased diesel and/or biomass-based
					 diesel blends of 1% Biomass-Based Diesel Blend or greater.
9. Producer/Blender-means the entity
					 responsible to the first purchaser of biodiesel or biodiesel blend or
					 biomass-based diesel or biomass-based diesel blend for that biodiesel or
					 biodiesel blend or biomass-based diesel or biomass-based diesel blend meeting
					 the specifications set forth in this regulation.
