ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: In this notice, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is inviting comment on its analysis of the upstream greenhouse gas emissions SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:49 Jul 25, 2017 Jkt 241001 attributable to the production of Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris (sugar beets) for use as a biofuel feedstock. This notice describes EPA’s greenhouse gas analysis of sugar beets produced for use as a biofuel feedstock, and describes how EPA may apply this analysis in the future to determine whether biofuels produced from sugar beets meet the necessary greenhouse gas reduction threshold required for qualification as renewable fuel under the Renewable Fuel Standard program. This notice considers a scenario in which noncellulosic beet sugar is extracted for conversion to biofuel and the remaining beet pulp co-product is used as animal feed. Based on this analysis, we anticipate that biofuels produced from sugar beets could qualify as renewable fuel or advanced biofuel, depending on the type and efficiency of the fuel production process technology used.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is organized as follows: I. Introduction PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 II. Analysis of GHG Emissions Associated With Production and Transport of Sugar Beets for Use as a Biofuel Feedstock A. Overview of Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris (Sugar Beets) B. Analysis of Upstream GHG Emissions 1. Methodology and Scenarios Evaluated 2. Domestic Impacts 3. International Impacts 4. Feedstock Transport 5. Results of Upstream GHG Lifecycle Analysis 6. Fuel Production and Distribution 7. Risk of Potential Invasiveness III. Summary I. Introduction Section 211(o) of the Clean Air Act establishes the renewable fuel standard (‘‘RFS’’) program, under which EPA sets annual percentage standards specifying the amount of renewable fuel, as well as three subcategories of renewable fuel, that must be used to reduce or replace fossil fuel present in transportation fuel, heating oil or jet fuel. With limited exceptions, renewable fuel produced at facilities that commenced construction after enactment of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (‘‘EISA’’), must achieve at least a twenty percent reduction in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions as compared to baseline 2005 transportation fuel. Advanced biofuel and biomass-based diesel must achieve at least a fifty percent reduction, and cellulosic biofuel must achieve at least a sixty percent reduction. As part of changes to the RFS program regulations published on March 26, 2010 1 (the ‘‘March 2010 RFS rule’’) to implement EISA amendments to the RFS program, EPA identified a number of renewable fuel production pathways that satisfy the greenhouse gas reduction requirements of the Act. Table 1 to 40 CFR 80.1426 of the RFS regulations lists three critical components of approved fuel pathways: (1) Fuel type; (2) feedstock; and (3) production process. In addition, for each pathway, the regulations specify a ‘‘D code’’ that indicates whether fuel produced by the specified pathway meets the requirements for renewable fuel or one of the three renewable fuel subcategories. EPA may independently approve additional fuel pathways not currently listed in Table 1 to 40 CFR 80.1426 for participation in the RFS program, or a party may petition for EPA to evaluate a new fuel pathway in accordance with 40 CFR 80.1416. Pursuant to 40 CFR 80.1416, EPA received petitions from Green Vision Group, Tracy Renewable Energy, and Plant Sensory Systems, submitted under 1 See Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\26JYN1.SGM 75 FR 14670. 26JYN1
