The programs are authorized under the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (The Farm Bill).\u00a0 &#8220;We view these proposed rules as part of the strategy to help meet President Obama&#8217;s goal to accelerate the commercial production of advanced biofuels and create a viable alternative fuels industry,&#8221; Vilsack said. \u00a0\u00a0The proposed rules affect the following three renewable energy programs administered by USDA Rural Development:\u00a0 Biorefinery Assistance Program &#8211; The proposed rule will establish guaranteed loan regulations to develop and construct commercial-scale biorefineries and to retrofit existing facilities using an eligible technology to develop advanced biofuels. Under the proposed rule, USDA Rural Development proposes a rolling application process for the consideration of loan guarantee requests. The Agency will consider a technology that is being adopted in a viable commercial-scale operation that produces advanced biofuels.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usda.gov\/wps\/portal\/usda\/!ut\/p\/c5\/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os_gAC9-wMJ8QY0MDpxBDA09nXw9DFxcXQ-cAA_1wkA5kFaGuQBXeASbmnu4uBgbe5hB5AxzA0UDfzyM_N1W_IDs7zdFRUREAZXAypA!!\/dl3\/d3\/L2dJQSEvUUt3QS9ZQnZ3LzZfUDhNVlZMVDMxMEJUMTBJQ01IMURERDFDUDA!\/?contentidonly=true&amp;contentid=2010%2f04%2f0188.xml\" >Click here to read more&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(USDA, April 16, 2010) &#8211; Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today invited public comment on several proposed rules designed to increase the production of advanced biofuels and the development of biorefineries.
