EPA Requests Information On Cellulosic Biofuels And E15

EPA is accepting public comments through May 26, 2015, on two
proposed information collection requests (ICR) published in the Federal
Register on Tuesday, March 24, 2015. The proposed ICRs concern projected
cellulosic biofuels volumes and gasoline containing greater than 10 volume
percent ethanol up to 15 volume percent ethanol (E15). Comments received will
assist EPA as the agency prepares to submit the final ICRs to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for its official approval and dissemination.

In the first proposed ICR on “Cellulosic
Production Volume Projections and Efficient Producer Reporting,”
EPA is seeking to collect information from potential cellulosic biofuel
producers to aid in determining the annual volume standards. In the second
proposed ICR on “Recordkeeping
and Reporting Related to E15 (Renewal),” EPA is seeking
comment on recordkeeping and reporting items related to the legal use of E15 in
commerce.
