What this bill would do

This bill, titled the ``Renewable Fuel for Ocean-Going Vessels Act'', seeks to amend the Clean Air Act. The primary goal is to include fuel used for ocean-going vessels as a type of renewable fuel. This change would allow credits to be generated under the existing renewable fuel program. The amendment would apply starting in the first calendar year after the bill is enacted. Additionally, the EPA Administrator is tasked with creating necessary regulations and submitting a report to Congress regarding the implementation.
