## Summary

**making SAF an eligible USDA bioenergy priority**. This bill would steer federal farm policy to support production and commercialization of sustainable aviation fuel by adding SAF into USDA bioenergy programs and creating a USDA-wide coordination effort. It would also define SAF with international fuel standards and require a lifecycle greenhouse gas reduction of at least 50 percent. - Farmers and rural communities: Opens new markets for crops, residues, and forestry feedstocks and directs USDA to support rural economic development linked to SAF commercialization. - Aviation and fuel supply: Treats SAF as an "advanced biofuel" in USDA programs, aiming to expand domestic jet fuel alternatives and strengthen supply chains. - USDA programs and partnerships: Adds SAF eligibility to the Biorefinery, Renewable Chemical, and Biobased Product Manufacturing Assistance Program and creates a Farm to Fly Collaboration Initiative to coordinate across USDA and boost public-private efforts. - Climate and standards: Sets SAF to meet ASTM jet-fuel standards and requires at least a 50% lifecycle greenhouse gas reduction, measured using CORSIA or the GREET model.
