EIA is proposing to conduct a new biodiesel survey in response to the Energy Policy Act of 2005, in which Congress directed EIA to collect information on biofuels.  This survey, the EIA-22M, will collect monthly data on biodiesel and co-product production, feedstocks, and sales and tax credits.  The entity responsible for reporting this information to EIA is the producer of the biodiesel.  The survey will be mandatory.  A one-time supplement, EIA-22S, to collect historical data on production, is also proposed.

The survey proposal has been published in the Federal Register, which is the first step in clearing a new survey through the Office of Management and Budget.  Presented here are proposed drafts of the survey forms (both the monthly form and the annual supplement) and instructions, as well as the Federal Register Notice (FRN).  If you would like to comment on the proposed survey, please see the FRN and follow the posted procedures for submitting comments.
