In Washington, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a public webinar on September 7 regarding the new regulatory provisions of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program.
These regulatory provisions include updated third-party engineering review requirements, new independence requirements for independent third-party auditors and professional engineers, an alternative recordkeeping requirement for parties using separated food waste, and updated regulatory provisions for the production, distribution, and use of biogas as a renewable fuel.
During the webinar, EPA intends to discuss the following:
· An overview of the regulatory amendments in the Set Rule.
· A detailed overview of the updated biogas regulatory provisions.
· A demonstration of the registration system updates for parties that want to use the alternative recordkeeping provisions for separated food waste.
· Changes to three-year engineering review updates and third-party engineer independence requirements.
· An overview of the new regulatory provisions for mixed digesters.
· A moderated question-and-answer period for stakeholders to ask additional questions related to these provisions.
