  To amend the Clean Air Act to require all gasoline sold for use in 
 motor vehicles to contain 10 percent renewable fuel in the year 2010 
                and thereafter, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``10 by 10 Act''.

SEC. 2. 10 PERCENT RENEWABLE FUEL REQUIRED FOR MOTOR VEHICLES.

    Section 211 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7545) is amended by 
redesignating subsection (o) as (p) and by inserting the following new 
subsection after subsection (n):
    ``(o) 10 Percent Renewable Fuel Requirement.--After December 31, 
2009, it shall be unlawful for any person to sell or offer for sale, 
supply, or offer for supply, dispense, transport, or introduce into 
commerce, for use in any motor vehicle (as defined in section 216(2)) 
any gasoline containing less than 10 percent renewable fuel by volume. 
For purposes of enforcing the preceding sentence, a blend of gasoline 
and renewable fuel shall be considered to be in compliance with this 
subsection if the renewable fuel content, exclusive of denaturants and 
permitted contaminants, comprises not less than 9.2 percent by volume 
and not more than 10 percent by volume of the blend as determined by 
the Administrator. The Administrator shall, by rule effective January 
1, 2010, require that each bill of lading or shipping manifest for all 
gasoline containing renewable fuel and all gasoline not containing 
renewable fuel indicate the renewable fuel content of the gasoline. The 
Administrator shall provide, by rule, for appropriate notices to be 
displayed on gasoline pumps indicating the renewable fuel content of 
the gasoline and notifying the public of the prohibition contained in 
this subsection. Such rules shall also provide an exemption from the 
requirements of this subsection in the case of gasoline for use in 
collector motor vehicles, as defined by the Administrator.''.
