Section 205 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) requires the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to enact and distribute labeling requirements for biodiesel and biomass-based diesel pumps. The labeling requirements become effective on December 16, 2008. The purpose of the labeling is to inform “consumers of the percent of biomass-based diesel or biodiesel that is contained in the biomass-based diesel blend or biodiesel blend that is offered for sale, as determined by the FTC.” FTC released its final ruling on June 23.

The NBB has created labels consistent with this ruling, which can be found and ordered at www.allthingsbiodiesel.com
