Rule Summary

This Direct Final Rulemaking clarifies the data sources and methodology used to calculate the Cellulosic Waiver Credit price. It also amends the regulations to remove the CWC prices from the Code of Federal Regulations. Instead, they will be announced in a more timely fashion on EPA’s website. Finally, the DFRM reinserts language in the renewable fuels program regulations inadvertently overwritten by the Quality Assurance Program final rule.
