Section 70521 is titled 'Extension and modification of clean fuel production credit' and amends Internal Revenue Code section 45Z, including extending the credit and changing feedstock and SAF-related rules.

A major 2025 federal tax law preserved and modified clean fuel incentives relevant to biofuels and sustainable aviation fuel, but it did not fully enact a dedicated Farm to Fly/Farm-to-Fuselage style farm-program package.

The report says the proposed Securing America's Fuels Act would reinstate a SAF bonus credit and extend 45Z through 2033 after the 2025 law limited the SAF incentive structure.

The report says Treasury guidance allowed ethanol and soy-based biofuels to qualify for SAF tax credits when sourced from farms using specified climate-smart practices.

Federal implementation opened a pathway for corn and soy growers into SAF credits, matching part of the promised farmer-market objective, but this was administrative guidance rather than full legislative delivery by Grassley.

The 119th Congress roster lists Chuck Grassley on the Senate Agriculture Subcommittee on Rural Development, Energy, and Credit, and the 118th Congress roster also listed him as a member.

Grassley held relevant committee positions during the term, which supports capacity to advance rural energy and biofuel policy, but committee membership alone is not delivery.
