ADM was on the committee that set up the NBB organization, and convinced the Soybean Council to forward the $2,200,000 used to test the one sample of virgin soy oil based biodiesel that has been thoroughtly tested under Tier 1 and Tier 2 testing requirements of 40 CFR 79.
For a new producer, you are exempt from Tier 2 testing, but not Tier 1 requirements. The EPA estimated this testing requirement will cost about $1,000,000. The EPA contact person is James Caldwell at 202 564-9303.

First, I don't understand the involvement or relevance of ADM in regulation of biofuels. It came up several times but I still don't get it. Can anyone clarify? Second, regarding EPA's demand that biodiesel producers show a (+or- $1,000,000) receipt for health effects testing, or pay to use the NBB's 'sample': there was a long post regarding checkoff funds that wasn't entirely clear, but more important, what is it exactly that EPA is looking for? What law or regulation they are following in making this demand? Does anyone know the correct person or office to contact at EPA so a biodiesel producer can get clear guidance on what to do? thanks, thor skov ===== Grants Manager Stillaguamish Tribe Of Indians 3439 Stoluckquamish Lane P.O.
