Sens. Thune and Shaheen reintroduce bill to approve advanced biofuel pathways without EPA

In Washington, U.S. Sens. John Thune (R-S.D.) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) have reintroduced their bipartisan legislation to approve certain advanced biofuel registrations that have gone without approval by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) despite the fuels already being successfully used in at least one state. Under the bill, EPA would also be required to render a decision within 90 days on any registration application that has been pending for at least 180 days, as well as take action within 180 days for completed pathways petitions pending for at least 180 days.
