A “Request for Correction of Information”, submitted back in July 2010 by the Center for Biological Diversity and other groups remains entirely unaddressed. The EPA, unsure how to account for biogenic emissions under the “tailoring rule”, accepted public comments on the matter late last year, (Biofuelwatch submitted comments) and then meanwhile granted industry a three year exemption from reporting.
