§ 17021. Biomass-based diesel and biodiesel label-
ing
(a) In general
Each retail diesel fuel pump shall be labeled in
a manner that informs consumers of the percent
of biomass-based diesel or biodiesel that is con-
tained in the biomass-based diesel blend or bio-
diesel blend that is offered for sale, as deter-
mined by the Federal Trade Commission.
(b) Labeling requirements
Not later than 180 days after December 19,
2007, the Federal Trade Commission shall pro-
mulgate biodiesel labeling requirements as fol-
lows:
(1) Biomass-based diesel blends or biodiesel
blends that contain less than or equal to 5 per-
cent biomass-based diesel or biodiesel by vol-
ume and that meet ASTM D975 diesel speci-
fications shall not require any additional la-
bels.
(2) Biomass-based diesel blends or biodiesel
blends that contain more than 5 percent bio-
mass-based diesel or biodiesel by volume but
not more than 20 percent by volume shall be
labeled ‘‘contains biomass-based diesel or bio-
diesel in quantities between 5 percent and 20
percent’’.
(3) Biomass-based diesel or biodiesel blends
that contain more than 20 percent biomass
based or biodiesel by volume shall be labeled
‘‘contains more than 20 percent biomass-based
diesel or biodiesel’’.
(c) Definitions
In this section:
(1) ASTM
The term ‘‘ASTM’’ means the American So-
ciety of Testing and Materials.
(2) Biomass-based diesel
The term ‘‘biomass-based diesel’’ means bio-
diesel as defined in section 13220(f) of this
title.
(3) Biodiesel
The term ‘‘biodiesel’’ means the monoalkyl
esters of long chain fatty acids derived from
plant or animal matter that meet—
(A) the registration requirements for fuels
and fuel additives under this section; and
(B) the requirements of ASTM standard
D6751.
(4) Biomass-based diesel and biodiesel blends
The terms ‘‘biomass-based diesel blend’’ and
‘‘biodiesel blend’’ means a blend of ‘‘biomass-
based diesel’’ or ‘‘biodiesel’’ fuel that is blend-
ed with petroleum-based diesel fuel.

in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions com-
pared to the comparable motor vehicle fuel
lifecycle emissions during calendar year 2005;

(2) shall not make an award to a project that
does not achieve at least an 80 percent reduc-
tion in such lifecycle greenhouse gas emis-
sions.
