Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Changes to Renewable Fuel
Standard Program
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under the Clean Air Act Section 211(o), as amended by the
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), the Environmental
Protection Agency is required to promulgate regulations implementing
changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard program. The revised statutory
requirements specify the volumes of cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based
diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel that must be used in
transportation fuel. This action finalizes the regulations that
implement the requirements of EISA, including the cellulosic, biomass-
based diesel, advanced biofuel, and renewable fuel standards that will
apply to all gasoline and diesel produced or imported in 2010. The
final regulations make a number of changes to the current Renewable
Fuel Standard program while retaining many elements of the compliance
and trading system already in place. This final rule also implements
the revised statutory definitions and criteria, most notably the new
greenhouse gas emission thresholds for renewable fuels and new limits
on renewable biomass feedstocks. This rulemaking marks the first time
that greenhouse gas emission performance is being applied in a
regulatory context for a nationwide program. As mandated by the
statute, our greenhouse gas emission assessments consider the full
lifecycle emission impacts of fuel production from both direct and
indirect emissions, including significant emissions from land use
changes. In carrying out our lifecycle analysis we have taken steps to
ensure that the lifecycle estimates are based on the latest and most
up-to-date science. The lifecycle greenhouse gas assessments reflected
in this rulemaking represent significant improvements in analysis based
on information and data received since the proposal. However, we also
recognize that lifecycle GHG assessment of biofuels is an evolving
discipline and will continue to revisit our lifecycle analyses in the
future as new information becomes available. EPA plans to ask the
National Academy of Sciences for assistance as we move forward. Based
on current analyses we have determined that ethanol from corn starch
will be able to comply with the required greenhouse gas (GHG) threshold
for renewable fuel. Similarly, biodiesel can be produced to comply with
the 50% threshold for biomass-based diesel, sugarcane with the 50%
threshold for advanced biofuel and multiple cellulosic-based fuels with
their 60% threshold. Additional fuel pathways have also been determined
to comply with their thresholds. The assessment for this rulemaking
also indicates the increased use of renewable fuels will have important
environmental, energy and economic impacts for our Nation.
DATES: This final rule is effective on July 1, 2010, and the percentage
standards apply to all gasoline and diesel produced or imported in
2010. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of July
1, 2010.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2005-0161. All documents in the docket are listed in the

SUMMARY: The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) of
the U.S. Department of Energy hereby provides notice that on March 19,
2010, the Assistant Secretary for EERE granted nationwide limited
waivers of the Buy American requirements of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act; Pub. L. 111-5) under the
authority of section 1605(b)(1) [application of the restrictions of
section 1605 would be inconsistent with the public interest] for the
purchase of light-emitting diode LED lighting (lamps, fixtures, and any
supporting components) and heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) units. These nationwide limited waivers apply to projects using
EERE Recovery Act funds for the construction, alteration, maintenance
and repair of a public building or public work. These limited waivers
only apply in circumstances where the recipient of EERE Recovery Act
funds (``grantee'') has taken substantial steps to commit funds for the
purchase of LED lights or HVAC units between February 17, 2009 and
March 31, 2010. Substantial steps to commit funds would include, but
are not limited to: (1) issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) on or
before March 31, 2010 (applicable only where the grantee accepts a
proposal received under that RFP); (2) in the case of a sole source
selection: placing an order for the goods on or before March 31, 2010;
(3) commencing a bidding process on or before March 31, 2010; (4) in
circumstances where the grantee solicited quotes without an RFP: the
grantee purchases the goods based on a quote dated on or before March
31, 2010 and the order for the goods is placed on or before March 31,
2010; and (5) grantee has executed a contract or purchase agreement
with a supplier to acquire affected goods between February 17, 2009 and
March 31, 2010.
On March 31, 2010, these limited waivers of Buy American provisions
will expire, with the exception of LED traffic lights, arrows, and
crosswalk signals, which are covered by a nationwide categorical waiver
based on domestic nonavailability issued on February 11, 2010. After
March 31, 2010, EERE grantees are required to procure LED lighting and
HVAC units from domestic manufacturers in accordance with the Recovery
Act Buy American provisions.
DATES: Effective Date: March 19, 2010.

Under the Second Modification, MPC must continue to comply with the
First Revised Consent Decree, but, in addition, MPC will pay a civil
penalty of $408,000 and perform two Supplemental Environmental Projects
valued at approximately $963,000 at its Canton and Catlettsburg

Operations NESHAP (``BWON''), 40 CFR part 61, subpart FF, and the BWON
provisions of the November 2005 First Revised Consent Decree at those
two refineries. In addition, MPC will pay a stipulated penalty of
$3,933 to resolve claims involving flaring incidents at the Canton,
Catlettsburg, Detroit, and Robinson Refineries. Finally, the Second
Modification amends two Appendices to the First Revised Consent Decree
to reflect a 2008 regulatory change that EPA made to the New
Source Performance Standards for Petroleum Refineries.
The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Second
Modification. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either emailed
