Comment
To whome it may concern,

I have become aware of the report entitled "Proposed Regulation to
Implement the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, Volume II, Appendices" and
I am very surprised to see the conclusions in this report. As an
animal nutritionist with expertise in the utilization of DDGS by
swine, I do believe that the authors of this report have grossly
misrepresented the scientific evidence on feeding DDGS to swine.
DDGS has a much greater value in diets fed to swine than the value
of corn. Sometimes (depending on the price relationship between
corn and soybean meal)the value of DDGS is almost twice as high as
the value of corn. 
I have prepared the enclosed report to refute some of the most
obvious mistakes in Appendix 11 and I am also including a few
general comments about feeding DDGS to swine and the economics of
using DDGS. I encourage you to consider these comments before final
conclusions on the subject of assesing a value to DDGS is reached.
If you should have any questions on this matter, please don't
hesitate contacting me. 

Sincerely,
Hans H Stein
