Sustainable Aviation Fuel Information Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Information Act directs the Energy Secretary, acting through the EIA Administrator, to publish sustainable aviation fuel data as soon as practicable after enactment. EIA must include the data in Petroleum Supply Monthly, Weekly Petroleum Status Report, and any other relevant EIA report the Administrator determines. Required data include the type, origin, and volume of feedstock used to produce sustainable aviation fuel in each state or Petroleum Administration for Defense District, in the United States, and, to the maximum extent practicable, in each foreign country. EIA must also report total sustainable aviation fuel produced in each state and nationally, and imports from each foreign country and all foreign countries. The data must use an accounting methodology consistent with reliable statistical sampling and avoid double counting of feedstock or fuel. The bill uses the Internal Revenue Code section 40B(d) definition of sustainable aviation fuel and does not change DOE Organization Act section 205 authority.
Who Benefits and How
Sustainable aviation fuel producers benefit from official EIA reporting on production, feedstock origin, and import volumes. Airlines using sustainable aviation fuel benefit from better market data in established EIA petroleum reports. Biofuel feedstock suppliers benefit from visibility into state, district, national, and foreign feedstock use. Energy market analysts benefit from data designed to avoid double counting of feedstock or fuel.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Energy Information Administration must add sustainable aviation fuel data to Petroleum Supply Monthly and Weekly Petroleum Status Report. The EIA Administrator must determine other relevant reports and use reliable sampling methods. Fuel producers and importers may face additional data collection from EIA surveys. The Department of Energy must implement the reporting requirement as soon as practicable.
