ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0199; FRL-9280-6]
Notice of Receipt of Petition From the Government of Canada for
Application of the Renewable Fuel Standard Aggregate Compliance
Approach
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is issuing notice of receipt of a petition for EPA to
authorize the use of an aggregate approach for compliance with the
Renewable Fuel Standard renewable biomass provisions. This petition was
submitted by the Government of Canada. The petition requests that EPA
determine that an aggregate compliance approach will provide reasonable
assurance that planted crops and crop residue from Canada meet the definition of
renewable biomass. EPA has previously determined that the aggregate
compliance approach is applicable in the United States. If the petition
is approved, crops and crop residue from Canada would not be subject to
individual recordkeeping and reporting requirements. This determination
could change if EPA later determined, through its annual evaluation of
the aggregate compliance approach, that the number of acres of
agricultural land in Canada exceeded a baseline number of acres
determined to be available under the Act for the production of crops
and crop residue meeting the definition of renewable biomass. In this
notice, EPA is soliciting comment on all aspects of the petition.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 16, 2011.
