StdAB,i= The advanced biofuel standard for year i, in percent.
StdRF,i= The renewable fuel standard for year i, in percent.
RFVCB,i= Annual volume of cellulosic biofuel required by 42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(2)(B) for year i, or volume as adjusted pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(7)(D), in gallons.
RFVBBD,i= Annual volume of biomass-based diesel required by 42 U.S.C. 7545 (o)(2)(B) for year i, in gallons.

RFVRF,i= Annual volume of renewable fuel required by 42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(2)(B) for year i, in gallons.
Gi= Amount of gasoline projected to be used in the 48 contiguous states and Hawaii, in year i, in gallons.
Di= Amount of diesel projected to be used in the 48 contiguous states and Hawaii, in year i, in gallons.
RGi= Amount of renewable fuel blended into gasoline that is projected to be consumed in the 48 contiguous states and Hawaii, in year i, in gallons.
RDi= Amount of renewable fuel blended into diesel that is projected to be consumed in the 48 contiguous states and Hawaii, in year i, in gallons.
GSi= Amount of gasoline projected to be used in Alaska or a U.S. territory, in year i, if the state or territory has opted-in or opts-in, in gallons.
RGSi= Amount of renewable fuel blended into gasoline that is projected to be consumed in Alaska or a U.S. territory, in year i, if the state or territory opts-in, in gallons.
DSi= Amount of diesel projected to be used in Alaska or a U.S. territory, in year i, if the state or territory has opted-in or opts-in, in gallons.
RDSi= Amount of renewable fuel blended into diesel that is projected to be consumed in Alaska or a U.S. territory, in year i, if the state or territory opts-in, in gallons.
GEi = The total amount of gasoline projected to be exempt in year i, in gallons, per §§80.1441 and 80.1442.
DEi = The total amount of diesel fuel projected to be exempt in year i, in gallons, per §§80.1441 and 80.1442.
(d) The price for cellulosic biofuel waiver credits will be calculated in accordance with §80.1456(d) and published on EPA's Web site.
