WASHINGTON — The National Chicken Council and the National Turkey Federation have voiced support for congressional action to fix the federal ethanol mandate, the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS).
Congressmen Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Steve Womack (R-Ark.) and Jim Costa (D-Calif.) recently introduced the RFS Reform Act in the House of Representatives.
If passed into law, the bill would eliminate the corn based ethanol mandate under the RFS, reduce the overall requirements of cellulosic ethanol not filled by advanced biofuels, and rescind the requirements to blend 15-percent ethanol into the fuel supply.
