Section 205 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 requires the Federal Trade Commission to promulgate labeling requirements for fuels containing biodiesel or biomass-based diesel (collectively, Âbiodiesel fuelsÂ). Accordingly, the FTC has published proposed amendments to its rule for ÂAutomotive Fuel Ratings, Certification, and Posting (aka Âthe Fuel Rating RuleÂ).
Consistent with the directive in Section 205 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, the Commission is proposing to amend the Fuel Rating Rule to clarify that biodiesel fuels are subject to the rating and certification requirements of the Fuel Rating Rule and to include labeling requirements for biodiesel fuels containing at least five percent biomass-based diesel or biodiesel.
