Expands the federal renewable fuel program to cover fuel used by ocean‑going vessels. By adding this category to the Clean Air Act’s list of fossil fuels that renewable fuel can replace, renewable marine fuels can be recognized within the program. It takes effect starting the first calendar year after enactment. The Environmental Protection Agency must issue implementing regulations within 1 year and then report to specified congressional committees within 1 year after those final rules are issued.
Amends Section 211(o)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Act by replacing the phrase "fossil fuel present in home heating oil or jet fuel" with "fossil fuel present in home heating oil, fuel for ocean-going vessels, or jet fuel".
States that the amendment made by subsection (a) applies beginning with respect to the first calendar year beginning after the date of enactment of this Act.
Requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to promulgate any regulations necessary to implement the amendment not later than 365 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
Requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to submit a report to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate on implementation of the amendment and the regulations, not later than 365 days after promulgating the final regulations required under subsection (c).
