    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Under this Program, the Agency will enter into contracts with advanced biofuel producers to pay such producers for the production of eligible advanced biofuels.

    As published, the interim rule stated that applications for FY 2010 must be submitted by April 12, 2011. This date is referenced in the preamble SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION on page 7936, column 2, lines 4 and 5 and on page 7966, column 2, in the last paragraph of the column. The Agency is extending the application period to May 6, 2011.

    Need for Correction

    Due to the delay in obtaining approval of the application and payment forms, the Agency needs to extend the application period. The extension will allow the public an adequate period of time to complete and submit applications.
