The Role of USDA in Differentiating Grain Inputs for Ethanol Production and Standardizing Testing of the Co-Products of Ethanol Production

We published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register on July 20, 2007 (72 FR 39762), inviting comments from producers, handlers, processors, livestock feeders, industry representatives, and other interested persons on the appropriate government role with regard to differentiating grain attributes for ethanol production, as well as standardizing the testing of co-products of ethanol production, commonly referred to as distillers grains. The notice provided an opportunity for interested parties to forward written comments to the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration until September 18, 2007. As a result of a request from the grain industry, we are reopening the comment period to provide interested parties with additional time in which to comment.
