1. Alcohol-means methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, n-propanol (n-propyl alcohol), and any form of butyl alcohol (butanol).2. Biodiesel-means an oxygenated fuel comprised of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids from biologically derived oil and fats and shall be designated B100 that meet the current requirements for fuels and fuel additives under 40 CFR Part 79.3. Biodiesel Blends -means a fuel comprised of a blend of biodiesel with petroleum-based diesel fuel.4. Biomass-Based Diesel means a conventional diesel fuel substitute produced from nonpetroleum renewable resources that meets the current requirements for fuels and fuel additives established by the Environmental Protection Agency under 42 U.S.C. 7545, except that the term does not include biodiesel as defined above, and shall be designated 100% Biomass-Based Diesel.5. Biomass-Based Diesel Blend means a fuel comprised of a blend of biomassbased diesel with petroleum-based diesel fuel. Biomass-Based Diesel Blends shall be identified as XX% Biomass-Based Diesel Blend, where the XX represents the volume percentage of biomass based diesel fuel in the blend.6. Certificate of Analysis (COA) or Certificate of Full Specification Analysis-a document issued by the producer showing that biodiesel and biodiesel blends meet the requirements and specifications set forth in this regulation. The certificate must contain the date of certification and may not be older than 90 days from the date of issue. The testing may be performed by either the producer, importer or an independent laboratory; but, it must be conducted per 300,000 gallons of produced biodiesel and biodiesel blend or every 90 days, whichever comes first. B21 through B99 certification must be conducted per 300,000 gallons of B21 through B99 produced or every 90 days, whichever comes first. A COA will not be required for a biodiesel blend if a producer has a current COA for biodiesel and petroleum diesel used to make the biodiesel blend.7. Cetane number- means a numerical measure of the ignition performance of a diesel fuel obtained by comparing it to reference fuels in a standardized engine test.8. Distributor/Retailer/Marketer-means an entity engaged in the business of the distribution and/or sale of biodiesel and/or biodiesel blends B1, and/or biomassbased diesel and/or biomass-based diesel blends of 1% Biomass-Based Diesel Blend or greater.9. Producer/Blender-means the entity responsible to the first purchaser of biodiesel or biodiesel blend or biomass-based diesel or biomass-based diesel blend for that biodiesel or biodiesel blend or biomass-based diesel or biomass-based diesel blend meeting the specifications set forth in this regulation.2 Miss.
