US International Trade Commission Determines Base Quantity of Fuel Ethyl Alcohol Imports for 2010

The US International Trade Commission has determined the base quantity of fuel ethyl alcohol imports for 2010, which will be used to establish the 'base quantity' of imports with a zero percent local feedstock requirement. The base quantity is set at 739.8 million gallons, based on 7 percent of US consumption of fuel ethyl alcohol, which was 10.57 billion gallons in the 12-month period ending September 30, 2009.
