(b) EPA will calculate the value of the annual standards and publish these values in the Federal Register by November 30 of the year preceding the compliance period.
(c) EPA will calculate the annual renewable fuel percentage standards using the following equations:
Where:
Std CB,i = The cellulosic biofuel standard for year i, in percent.
Std BBD,i = The biomass-based diesel standard for year i, in percent.
Std AB,i = The advanced biofuel standard for year i, in percent.
Std RF,i = The renewable fuel standard for year i, in percent.
RFV CB,i = Annual volume of cellulosic biofuel required by 42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(2)(B) for year i, or volume as adjusted pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(7)(D), in gallons.
RFV BBD,i = Annual volume of biomass-based diesel required by 42 U.S.C. 7545 (o)(2)(B) for year i, in gallons.
RFV AB,i = Annual volume of advanced biofuel required by 42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(2)(B) for year i, in gallons.
RFV RF,i = Annual volume of renewable fuel required by 42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(2)(B) for year i, in gallons.
G i = Amount of gasoline projected to be used in the covered location, in year i, in gallons.
D i = Amount of diesel projected to be used in the covered location, in year i, in gallons.
RG i = Amount of renewable fuel blended into gasoline that is projected to be consumed in the covered location, in year i, in gallons.
RD i = Amount of renewable fuel blended into diesel that is projected to be consumed in the covered location, in year i, in gallons.
GS i = Amount of gasoline projected to be used in Alaska or a U.S. territory, in year i, if the state or territory has opted-in or opts-in, in gallons.
RGS i = Amount of renewable fuel blended into gasoline that is projected to be consumed in Alaska or a U.S. territory, in year i, if the state or territory opts-in, in gallons.
DS i = Amount of diesel projected to be used in Alaska or a U.S. territory, in year i, if the state or territory has opted-in or opts-in, in gallons.
RDS i = Amount of renewable fuel blended into diesel that is projected to be consumed in Alaska or a U.S. territory, in year i, if the state or territory opts-in, in gallons.
GE i = The total amount of gasoline projected to be exempt in year i, in gallons, per §§80.1441 and 80.1442.
DE i = The total amount of diesel fuel projected to be exempt in year i, in gallons, per §§80.1441 and 80.1442.
(d) The price for cellulosic biofuel waiver credits will be calculated in accordance with §80.1456(d) and published on EPA's Web site.
