§ 17021. Biomass-based diesel and biodiesel labeling
(a) In general
(b) Labeling requirements
Not later than 180 days after December 19, 2007, the Federal Trade Commission shall promulgate biodiesel labeling requirements as follows:
(1) Biomass-based diesel blends or biodiesel blends that contain less than or equal to 5 percent biomass-based diesel or biodiesel by volume and that meet ASTM D975 diesel specifications shall not require any additional labels.
(2) Biomass-based diesel blends or biodiesel blends that contain more than 5 percent biomass-based diesel or biodiesel by volume but not more than 20 percent by volume shall be labeled “contains biomass-based diesel or biodiesel 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
(2) Biomass-based diesel
(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

§ 17022. Grants for production of advanced biofuels
(a) In general
(b) Requirements and priority
In making grants under this section, the Secretary—
(1) shall make awards to the proposals for advanced biofuels with the greatest reduction in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to the comparable motor vehicle fuel lifecycle emissions during calendar year 2005; and
(2) shall not make an award to a project that does not achieve at least an 80 percent reduction in such lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions.
(c) Authorization of appropriations
(Pub. L. 110–140, title II, § 207, Dec. 19, 2007, 121 Stat. 1531; Pub. L. 113–40, § 10(f), Oct. 2, 2013, 127 Stat. 546.)
