Notice of Public Comment Period on Additional Candidates Added to the Peer Reviewer Pool for the Biofuels and the Environment: Third Triennial Report to Congress DEADLINE: August 16, 2022

(Environmental Protection Agency/Federal Register) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a 15-day public comment period on two (2) additional peer review candidates for the external peer review of the Biofuels and the Environment: Third Triennial Report to Congress (RtC3). EPA previously invited public comment on an initial pool of twenty (20) candidates announced in a Federal Register Notice (FRN) published on May 9, 2022.

After considering public comments and the balance and collective expertise of the reviewers, EPA asked ERG, the independent contractor organizing the peer review, to identify additional candidates to strengthen expertise gaps and allow a more balanced panel. EPA is seeking public comment on additional peer review candidates in order to strengthen underrepresented areas of expertise, specifically economics, water quality, and ecology disciplines.

You may also comment on the initial twenty (20) candidates if you have not yet done so. If you already commented on those initial candidates in response to the May 9, 2022, FRN, you do not need to resubmit those comments.

After considering all public comments on the initial pool of 20 candidates and the additional candidates announced in this FRN, ERG will select up to nine (9) peer reviewers. ERG will ensure the peer reviewers’ combined expertise best spans the following disciplines: economics, engineering, agronomics, land use change, remote sensing, air quality, biogeochemistry, water quality, hydrology, conservation biology, limnology, and ecology. The peer review will be conducted under the framework of EPA’s Scientific Integrity Policy ( https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2014-02/documents/scientific_integrity_policy_2012.pdf) and follow procedures established in EPA’s Peer Review Handbook 4th Edition, 2015 (EPA/100/B-15/001).

DATES:

The 15-day public comment period on the additional list of proposed peer review candidates begins August 1, 2022 and ends August 16, 2022. Comments must be received on or before August 16, 2022. READ MORE

Manchin, Schumer Cut Deal on Climate Spending, Including Farm Bill Funds

by Philip Brasher (Agri-Pulse) Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced an agreement with Sen. Joe Manchin on a narrow reconciliation bill that would provide $369 billion in climate-related provisions, including more than $20 billion for farm bill conservation assistance and additional incentives for low-carbon biofuels and rural electric co-ops.

The 725-page bill they agreed to resurrects key parts of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better that were intended to spur the increased use of climate-smart farming practices, including cover crops.

The legislation would provide $19.9 billion for four conservation programs over four years, plus another $1 billion for conservation technical assistance and $300 million to USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service to measure the impact of agricultural practices on greenhouse gas emissions.

…

With each program, USDA would be required to prioritize projects that “mitigate or address climate change through the management of agricultural production.”

The bill, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, also would create a new “clean fuels” tax credit for low-carbon biofuels while providing $500 million for biofuel infrastructure, plus new funding for the Rural Energy for America Program and rural electric co-ops. An additional $5 billion would be earmarked for forestry.

…

The bill, called the Inflation Reduction Act, would raise $739 billion through new taxes or spending cuts, mostly by setting a minimum corporate income tax at 15% and allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. At least $300 billion of the revenue would go toward reducing the deficit. In addition to the climate provisions, the bill also would extend Affordable Care Act subsidies.

…

In a statement describing his agreement with Schumer, Manchin said of the energy and climate provisions, “I support a plan that will advance a realistic energy and climate policy that lowers prices today and strategically invests in the long game. As the superpower of the world, it is vital we not undermine our superpower status by removing dependable and affordable fossil fuel energy before new technologies are ready to reliably carry the load.” READ MORE

Senate reconciliation keeps farms, forests in climate formula: Budget bill includes more than $20 billion for programs including conservation, biofuels and wildfire prevention (Roll Call)

Senate Inflation Reduction Act packed with bioenergy incentives (Biodiesel Magazine)

Excerpt from Reuters: Republicans have harshly criticized Democrats for touting EVs as a solution to rising gasoline prices, saying they are not affordable. Democrats argue the tax credits are crucial to shifting Americans away from gasoline-powered vehicles.

…

The bill will also include new tax credits and grants “to support the domestic production of biofuels, and to build the infrastructure needed for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other biofuels.” The SAF tax credit is worth at least $1.25 a gallon. READ MORE

Excerpt from Biobased Diesel Daily: NATSO, representing America’s truck stops and travel plazas, and SIGMA: America’s Leading Fuel Marketers, are strongly urging lawmakers to oppose the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 unless it provides tax parity between the biodiesel tax credit (BTC) and newly proposed sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) tax credit.

Although the bill extends the $1 per gallon biodiesel and renewable diesel tax credit, it provides a higher tax credit of up to $1.75 per gallon for SAF.

A higher tax credit for SAF will undercut America’s fuel supply, according to the two groups.

“The cost of everyday household goods and home heating bills will soar as the availability of biodiesel and renewable diesel decreases,” NATSO and SIGMA state in a July 29 press release. “Aggregate greenhouse-gas emissions also will increase across the transportation sector.”

Speaking on behalf of NATSO and SIGMA, David Fialkov, NATSO executive vice president of government affairs, said, “This legislation purports to create a ‘technology neutral’ clean fuels tax scheme, which fuel retailers have long supported. Favorable treatment for SAF flies in the face of this approach. SAF is less beneficial for the environment than renewable diesel and is going to cost taxpayers more. Providing more favorable tax treatment for a technology that has fewer environmental benefits undermines the intellectual integrity of the climate provisions in this bill. If special treatment for SAF was motivated by unique environmental benefits, it could fit neatly within what is otherwise a tech-neutral construct that applies to every other fuel under the bill.”

…

The trucking industry delivers more than 80 percent of America’s goods and relies on biofuels, like renewable diesel and biodiesel, to keep emissions low. READ MORE

QUOTE OF THE WEEK — Simon Geere
