(2) Biomass-based diesel blends or biodiesel blends that contain more than 5 percent biomass-based diesel or biodiesel by volume but not more than 20 percent by volume shall be labeled “contains biomass-based diesel or biodiesel in quantities between 5 percent and 20 percent”. (3) Biomass-based diesel or biodiesel blends that contain more than 20 percent biomass based or biodiesel by volume shall be labeled “contains more than 20 percent biomass-based diesel or biodiesel” . (c) Definitions In this section: (1) ASTM The term “ ASTM ” means the American Society of Testing and Materials. (2) Biomass-based diesel The term “ biomass-based diesel ” means biodiesel as defined in section 13220(f) of this title .
