SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because
EPA received adverse comment, we are
withdrawing several provisions of the
direct final rule to amend the
Renewable Fuel Standard program
requirements, published on May 10,
2010. We stated in that direct final rule
that if we received adverse comment by
June 9, 2010, the portion of the direct
final rule on which adverse comment
was received would not take effect, and
we would publish a timely withdrawal
of such portions of the direct final rule
in the Federal Register.
We subsequently received adverse
comment on the following provisions:
Certain of the amendments to 40 CFR
80.1401 (moved the definitions of
‘‘actual peak capacity,’’ ‘‘baseline
volume,’’ and ‘‘permitted capacity’’ from
40 CFR 80.1403(a), revised the
definition of ‘‘actual peak capacity’’ to
clarify how it is calculated and revised
the definition of ‘‘permitted capacity’’ to
clarify the dates before which permits
used to establish a facility’s permitted
capacity must have been issued or
revised); 40 CFR 80.1425 (clarified that
RINs generated after July 1, 2010, may
only be generated and transferred using
the EPA-Moderated Transaction System
(EMTS) and will not be identified by a
38-digit code and that the value of
EEEEEEEE in a batch-RIN will be
determined by the number of gallonRINs generated for the batch); 40 CFR
80.1426(d)(1), 80.1426(f)(3)(iv), and
80.1426(f)(3)(v) (clarified that a unique
BBBBB code in the RIN, or its
equivalent in EMTS, is used to identify
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 9990
37733
a batch of renewable fuel from a given
renewable fuel producer or importer);
40 CFR 80.1426 Table 2 (clarified the
extent to which renewable fuel
producers must use certain advanced
technologies in order for them to be
considered when determining the
proper D code for their fuel); 40 CFR
80.1426(f)(12) (clarified the
requirements for gas to be considered
biogas for purposes of determining a
renewable fuel’s D code); 40 CFR
80.1452(b) (clarified that RINs must be
generated in EMTS within five (5)
business days of being assigned to a
batch of renewable fuel and clarified the
information required to be submitted via
EMTS for each batch of renewable fuel
produced or imported); and, 40 CFR
80.1452(c) (clarified that transactions
involving RINs generated on or after
July 1, 2010 must be conducted via
EMTS within five (5) business days of
a reportable event, and clarified the
meaning of the term ‘‘reportable event’’
and the information required to be
submitted via EMTS for each
transaction involving RINs generated on
or after July 1, 2010).
EPA published a parallel proposed
rule on the same day as the direct final
rule. The proposed rule invited
comment on the substance of the direct
final rule. We will address the
comments received on the portions of
the direct final rule listed above in a
subsequent final action based on the
parallel proposed rule also published on
May 10, 2010 (75 FR 26049). The
provisions for which we did not receive
adverse comment will become effective
on July 1, 2010, as provided in the May
10, 2010, direct final rule.
