Tom, I agree with you about the federal funds testing. Heck, NREL contributed to some of the studies as well, and often any amount of federal money is enough to "contaminate" the rest; at least it works that way with federal grant programs.
But my other point is that according to EPA's own publications in the federal register, it makes no distinction about "standard" fuels wrt biodiesel. It classifies biodiesel as a "nonbaseline" fuel which IS exempt from the Tier 1 requirement for small businesses. As I've said, they have told me differently on the phone, but have yet to show me anything in writing. And it don't count unless it's in writing. thor --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > My legalese is sometimes lacking, but I understand > the Tier 2 exemption is > for any small company with less than $50,000,000 in > sales per year (I > qualify), but the Tier 1 exemption is only for small > companies of less than > $10,000,000 per year in sales MAKING A STANDARD > FUEL.
