Agriculture Suspends 2% Biodiesel Content Mandate Thru March 4

Acting Department of Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding notified Gov. Tom Wolf on March 2 that he was partially suspending the state mandate for 2 percent biodiesel, as authorized under the state’s Biofuel Development and In-State Production Incentive Act, because a shortage exists.
The mandate was suspended from Monday, March 2, 2015 and is expiring at 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, 2015.  The requirement for 2 percent biodiesel fuel is suspended under the following terms--
-- All retailers, as defined in the (Biofuel) Act, who take delivery of diesel fuel during the period of suspension blended outside the Commonwealth which is not compliant with the 2 percent biodiesel mandate may sell such diesel fuel to consumers during the period of suspension.  Such diesel fuel delivered during the period of suspension may be sold to consumers after the suspension expires until all such delivered diesel fuel is out of the retailer’s possession.  Any new deliveries to a retailer after the suspension expires will be subject to all provisions of the Act.
Acting Secretary Redding said his agency will continue to monitor conditions and should conditions warrant, this suspension may be modified, terminated or extended as appropriate.
