We discussed the renewable biomass provisions of the proposed Renewable
Fuel Standard regulations, particularly the definition of
“agricultural land” and the interpretation of the phrase “that is
actively managed or fallow, and nonforested.”  Additionally, we
discussed the implementation and compliance issues associated with the
renewable biomass provisions.
