Biofuel candidate needed for RETAC vacancy at STB

In Washington, D.C., the Surface Transportation Board is looking for two candidates for vacancies on its Rail Energy Transportation Advisory Committee, one of which would represent the biofuels industry.

Specifically, they are looking for a biofuel feedstock grower or provider and biofuel refiner, processor and distributor to fill the biofuel vacancy. The other vacancy is for an “at-large” representative with relevant experience in the transportation of energy resources. Candidate suggestions are due August 30 via online on STB’s e-filing link on the STB website.

RETAC was established in 2007 and has 25 voting members that serve to provide advice and guidance to the STB and serve as a forum to discuss emerging issues regarding the transportation by rail of energy resources (like coal, ethanol, and other biofuels).
