Specifically, the January 2025 interim rule established guidelines for the implementation, reporting, verification, and quantification of carbon intensity (CI) of certain agricultural commodities at the field-scale. This final rule makes revisions to the January 2025 interim rule that were requested by commenters or that are otherwise necessary because of intervening Executive action. The revised guidelines articulate an approach for farm producers to quantify the change in net emissions associated with crops produced using one or more authorized practices. The revised guidelines also articulate a framework for how information regarding emissions, resulting from the production of biofuel feedstock commodity crops, could be reported and tracked throughout the supply chain.","document_number":"2026-13092","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/06/29/2026-13092/technical-guidelines-for-the-production-of-regenerative-agricultural-biofuel-feedstocks","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-06-29/pdf/2026-13092.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-13092.pdf?1782477921","publication_date":"2026-06-29","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"Office of Energy and Environmental Policy","name":"Energy and Environmental Policy Office","id":620,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-and-environmental-policy-office","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/620","parent_id":12,"slug":"energy-and-environmental-policy-office"}],"excerpts":"Refiners ** \n 83,500 \n \n \n Notes: \n \n * Some producers will have approximately 9 hours of additional LOE to <span class=\"match\">comply</span> with audits. \n ** Producers applying manure have additional recordkeeping requirements and fee <span class=\"match\">associated</span> with verification. \n \n Additional details about these estimates are described in the RIA. \n \n While this RIA quantifies the paperwork burden <span class=\"match\">associated</span> with the rule, this rule's information collection requirements and <span class=\"match\">associated</span> burden \n \n hours (that is, level of effort estimates) are exempt from Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 review"},{"title":"Electronic Surveying Equipment in Underground Mines","type":"Proposed Rule","abstract":"MSHA is proposing to allow the use of electronic surveying equipment in high-hazard areas of underground coal mines, if the equipment meets certain technical specifications and is operated under specific conditions.
