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":"the field scale rather than the farm scale.
